The H4TU-C-319 List 1 is the Central Office (CO) side of a T1 transmission system. The ADC® four-wire HDSL2
product family (hereafter referred to as “HDSL4”) is based on the HDSL4 standard ANSI T1.418 Issue 2.
The H4TU-C, when used with an H4TU-R remote unit, transmits a 1.544 Mbps payload up to a maximum distance
of 12 kft. over two unconditioned copper pairs. Using two doublers (H4Ds), the Carrier Service Area (CSA) reach
can be extended to a maximum of 34 kft. The H4TU-C-319 List 1 is designed to mount in 3192 mechanics shelves.
For a list of compatible shelves see “Appendix C - Compatibility” on page 65.

APPLICATIONS
HDSL4 systems provide a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy method for delivering T1 High Capacity Digital Service
(HCDS) over two pair of wires. HDSL4 systems support a multitude of network connections.
•The service is deployed over two unconditioned, non-loaded copper pair at 784 kps per loop.
•Conventional, inline DS1 repeaters are no longer required.
•Cable pair conditioning, pair separation, and bridged tap removal are not required.
For Span 1, each loop has no more than 47 dB of insertion loss (INSL) at 196 kHz, with driving and terminating
impedances of 135Ω; for Span 2 and Span 3, each loop has no more than 43 dB of insertion loss at 196 kHz. In
general, HDSL4 systems:
•Operate effectively in the same cable binder group with other HDSL4 lines, HDSL, T1, ADSL, SDSL, POTS,
Digital Data Service (DDS), and other transmission schemes.
•Can be used with customers requiring DS1 service on a temporary or permanent basis.
•Provide a means of quickly deploying service in advance of fiber-optic transmission systems.

LTPH-UM-1031-03, Issue 3Installation
VERIFICATION
Once the H4TU-C is installed, verify that it is operating properly. To do this, monitor the following:
•Status LED
•Status messages reported by the front-panel display (see Table 2 on page 5)
Verification without a Downstream Device
If there is no downstream device installed:
1Verify that the H4TU -C powers up. The front-panel display illuminates and reports status messages. (See
Table 2 on page 5 for a list of messages.)
2Verify that the H4TU-C attempts to communicate with downstream devices (status LED flashes red). Even
if a downstream device is not present, the following events should occur:
aThe front-panel display reports various four-character status messages.
bThe H4TU-C again attempts communication until a downstream device is detected.
Verification with a Downstream Device
If a downstream device has been installed:
1Verify that the H4TU-C powers up. (The front-panel display illuminates and reports various status messages.)
2Verify that the H4TU-C attempts to communicate with downstream devices (status LED flashes red). One of
the following occurs:
•If downstream devices are successfully identified and the HDSL4 loop synchronizes, the H4TU-C status
LED lights steady green. The H4TU-C reports normal margin and loop attenuation messages on the
front-panel display.
•If downstream devices are not successfully identified, the H4TU-C reports four-character status
messages. The H4TU-C attempts communication again and reports four-character status messages. The
H4TU-C repeats this cycle until a downstream device is detected.
3If there is more than one span, verify that each subsequent span synchronizes normally by monitoring the
front-panel display messages.
4If a remote unit is installed, verify that the last span synchronizes normally. The H4TU-C status LED should
light a steady green and the front-panel display should report normal margin messages.
5Verify that a valid DS1 signal has been applied to the H4TU-C and the H4TU-R.
•If no DS1 signal is being applied to either the H4TU-C or the H4TU-R inputs, then the appropriate DS1
alarms (LLOS or RLOS) display on the front panel and the status LED flashes red.
•If a valid DS1 signal is being supplied to the H4TU-C and H4TU-R, then DS1 alarm indications should
be absent and the status LED should be steady green.
H4TU-C-319 List 1September 12, 2003 9
Provisioning LTPH-UM-1031-03, Issue 3
PROVISIONING
There are two methods for provisioning:
•Use the MODE and SEL pushbuttons on the front panel of the H4TU-C to:
—Set system options
—Reset the H4TU-C to its factory default settings for system options
—Display system option settings (scroll mode)
—Select system loopbacks
•Use a maintenance terminal (ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) connected to the
H4TU-C craft port (or to an HMU craft port) to access the maintenance screens (Figure 3 on page 13). This
gives you full access to all H4TU-C status, history, inventory, and provisioning screens.
The MNGD message displays if the H4TU-C-319 is under HMU management. When this occurs,
the front-panel pushbuttons and craft port are disabled.
No dip switches or jumpers are required to provision the H4TU-C-319 as it contains a
non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) which stores the system option settings. System option settings are
retained if shelf power is lost or the H4TU-C-319 is unplugged.
USINGTHE MODE AND SEL PUSHBUTTONS
Setting Options through MODE and SEL
To provision the H4TU-C-319 through the MODE and SEL pushbuttons on the front panel:
1Press the MODE pushbutton for 1 second and then release it. The front-panel display alternately shows the
first system parameter and its current setting.
2Press the SEL pushbutton to step through all possible settings of the selected parameter. (See Table 5 on
page 19 and Table 6 on page 20.)
3After the desired setting has been sel ected, press the MODE pushbutton. This updates the current displayed
parameter to the selected setting, then advances to the next configurable parameter. After the last parameter
has been selected, a CONF NO message appears on the front-panel display.
4Do one of the following :
•To cancel the session without saving the requested parameter changes, press the MODE pushbutton or
do nothing. (After 30 seconds, the display returns to its normal mode without saving the new changes.)
•To accept the requested parameter changes, press the SEL pushbutton. (A CONFYES message appears,
and the display returns to its normal mode after saving the new changes.)

LTPH-UM-1031-03, Issue 3Provisioning
Resetting to Factory Default
All user options for the H4TU-C-319 List 1 (Table 5 on page 19) can be set to the factory default values using the
MODE and SEL pushbuttons. To set the user options to their default values:
1Press the SEL pushbutton for 6 seconds until the following message appears:
DFLT NO
2Press the SEL pushbutton while the DFLT NO message is displayed.
The message changes to DFLT YES indicating the factory default values are now in effect and the display
returns to the normal mode.
To terminate the DFLT mode without setting the factory default values, do one of the following:
•Press the MODE pushbutton to return to the normal display mode.
•Wait 30 seconds for the unit to return to the normal display mode.
Displaying System Parameter Settings
To scroll through the current settings of all system parameters, press the MODE pushbutton for 3 or more seconds.
The H4TU-C-319 displays the following parameters:
•Software version number
•List number
•Type of frame pattern received from the DSX-1
•Line code of the signal received from the DSX-1
•All user-configured parameter settings
•Loop attenuation threshold setting
•Margin alarm threshold setting
Disabling an Alarm
System alarms can be disabled by pressing the SEL pushbutton on the H4TU-C-319 front panel for less than 3
seconds. This executes an ACO and returns the H4TU-C-319 to its non-alarm state. For more information about
alarms, see “System Alarms” on page 42.
Loopback Modes
See “Loopback Operation” on page 46 for instructions on using the MODE and SEL pushbuttons to activate
loopbacks.

. (Block Error Rate is based on the
HDSL4 Block Error Rate Threshold (HBER) Option. The HBER option permits monitoring of loop
integrity and reporting of alarms when excessive errors are detected. The performance monitoring (PM) primitive
used for this purpose is the CRC checksum performed on the HDSL4 frame for both directions of transmission.
It is, therefore, called a block error rate rather than the bit error rate associated with the DS1 interface. The Monitor
screen displays the CRC errors and counts for both the H4TU-C and H4TU-R. The HBER option allows an alarm
to be generated if the total number of CRCs at either the H4TU-C or H4TU-R exceeds the selected BER threshold
during the last 1-minute interval.
•HBER option = 1E-6. Alarm is generated if CRC > 93
•HBER option = 1E-7. Alarm is generated if CRC > 9
Once initiated, the HBER count clears when the CRC count drops below the selected threshold. Selecting NONE
inhibits this alarm.
DS1 Line Coding (DS1) Option. The DS1 line code option should always be set to conform to the type of
DS1 service (AMI or B8ZS) being provided by the system. The Auto mode, which can adapt to either AMI or
B8ZS, should only be used in applications that require it (such as when ADC system acts as a standby circuit to
DS1 circuits whose line codes are not known or may be both AMI and B8ZS). This is because the Auto mode
induces one BPV in the DS1 bit stream whenever it switches from AMI to B8ZS. The Auto mode allows both the
H4TU-C and the H4TU-R to set its DS1 output code to that which is being received at the distant end DS1 input.
This forces the input and the output codes in each direction of transmission to be identical.
H4TU-C Equalization (EQL) Option. The equalizer shapes the DS1 output signal of the H4TU-C to conform
to a very specific pulse template when it arrives at the DSX-1 cross-connect point. The degree of pulse-shaping
required is a function of the distance between the H4TU-C’s equipment bay and the DSX-1 panel. Thus, the
equalizer has six discrete settings, in increments of 133 feet to cause the maximized separation of 655 feet.

Alarm Pattern (ALMP) Option. To improve HDSL4 compatibility with the switch-to-protect features used in
Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) feeder applications, the H4TU-C-319 has an ALMP option that allows you to select
either an AIS or LOS DS1 output payload for the following alarms:
•LOSW on any loop
•LOS DS1
Bipolar Violation Transparency (BPVT) Option. The H4TU-C-319 improves compatibility with Digital
Loop Carrier (DLC) feeder applications because of its ability to transmit DS1 BPV occurrences between its DS1
interfaces. This feature is required to support protection switching in DLC applications. Each DLC terminal must
be able to monitor the integrity of its Receive DS1 payload and then switch to the protect line when the integrity
of the path drops below specific user selected limits. An essential requirement of this feature is the need for each
DLC terminal to detect BPVs in its DS1 input. Standard HDSL systems correct DS1 BPVs at the input and,
therefore, prevent them from being detected by the DLC terminals to which they are connected. The H4TU-C-319
and its associated remote units remove this limitation and become BPV transparent by detecting and counting
input BPVs at each end and then by replicating them at the DS1 output port of the distant end.
The BPV count is converted into BPVs at the distant end during the following second at a rate of 1 BPV every

Power Back Off (PBON and PBOC) Options. Power Back Off Network (PBON) and Power Back Off
Customer (PBOC) allow the HDSL4 circuit to support two transmit power templates: default (DEF), higher level,
and enhanced (ENH), lower level. These are defined in the four-wire section of the ANSI T1.418 Issue 2 HDSL2
standard. Each HDSL4 receiver detects the level it is receiving during the start-up, pre-activation sequence. It then
compares this level to the level it should be receiving according to the PBON and PBOC option settings (DEF or
ENH). If the received level is outside the template limits, the receiver sends a message to the upstream HDSL4
transmitter requesting the proper level. These levels are adjusted only during the start-up routine or if the PBON
or PBOC option settings are changed during normal operation. Since the ENH template levels are up to 15 dBm
below those of the DEF template, the ENH setting can be used to reduce crosstalk levels into adjacent circuits.
(For example, if crosstalk noise is being induced by the H4TU-R, set the PBOC option to its lower (ENH) level
setting. Conversely, if the HDSL4 signal at the H4TU-R is being affected by crosstalk noise induced from adjacent
pairs, set the PBOC option to its higher (DEF) level setting.

10 contiguous HDSL SES and is retired after 10 contiguous non-SES seconds. This value is a
running total of the last 24 hours.
ID Circuit identification number.
INSLInsertion Loss—The signal loss value for a 196 kHz signal over the cable pair.
LALoop Attenuation—Indicates the attenuation of the Overlapped Pulse Amplitude Modulation
(OPAM) transmission pulse from the distant end. Proper HDSL4 loop operation requires that this
value be less than 34 dB. This value differs from the insertion loss value of a conventional 196 kHz
signal.
LPFLine Power Feed—Indicates the HDSL4 line power is on.
MMargin—The signal-to-noise ratio at all HDSL4 ports, relative to a 10-7 Bit Error Rate.
PL (or HG)PL displays when the loopback was initiated by a command embedded in the DS1 data path
payload (PL). HG displays when the loopback was initiated from a HDSL Generic (HG) front panel
or by a maintenance terminal loopback command.
PRMThe sum of the Performance Report Messaging-Near End (PRM-NE) and Performance Report
Messaging-Far End (PRM-FE) counts.
System StatusThe presence or absence of an alarm condition is indicated on the lower right corner of all screens.
System: OK indicates that there are no alarms present; System: Alarm indicates the presence of an

procedure, and loopback testing.
SYSTEM ALARMS
Table 15 summarizes all possible system alarms in order of priority as they appear on the front panel. When
multiple alarms occur, the front-panel display only reports the highest priority alarm. The alarm history screens
display alarms also, but provide greater detail (see “Using the Performance Screens to View Performance Data”

LOOPBACK OPERATION
HDSL4 has a family of loopback options for analyzing circuit functionality. The loopback signal is transmitted
and returned to the sending device for comparison. This allows you to verify the integrity of the HDSL4 channels
to the H4TU-C, the H4TU-C DSX-1 interface, and the DS1 channels to the customer.
Loopback options include:
•Generic Loopback (GNLB) options, including the SmartJack (SMJK) option (see Table 16 on page 51)
•A3LB Addressable Repeater Loopback command (see Table 17 on page 52)
•A5LB Addressable Repeater Loopback command (see Table 18 on page 53)
Loopback commands can be initiated by:
•Selecting the loopback type using the MODE and SEL pushbuttons on the H4TU-C front panel or the manual
loopback (LBK) pushbutton on the H4TU-R front panel
•Selecting the loopback type from the Monitor menu when connected to the craft port of the H4TU-C or
H4TU-R
•Entering the loopback code (exceptions are COLB and RULB) into the test equipment connected to the
H4TU-C or H4TU-R
Activate loopback using
one of the following:
• MODE/SEL pushbuttons
• Maintenance Terminal
• Test Set
ADC HDSL4 supports multiple loopbacks, but a single loopback is the preferred method. HDSL4
automatically rejects activation of closed loop looopbacks. For example, an NREM and CREM
cannot be activated at the same time.

Generic Loopback Commands
The HDSL4 Generic Loopback (GNLB) commands allow you to use inband codes to loop up either
NLOC (4-in-7) or NREM (3-in-7) towards the network. In addition, these inband codes loop up CREM (6-in-7)
or CLOC (5-in-7) towards the customer. Either loopup condition can be terminated (looped down) with the 3-in-5,
SMJK loopdown code. All inband codes must be present for at least 5 seconds before the HDSL4 system responds.
TLOS is a logic loopback caused by loss of the DS1 input from the CI.
Figure 29 on page 50 summarizes the available loopbacks in the system, and Table 16 summarizes the HDSL4
generic loopback commands. See “GNLB Test Procedures” on page 51 for the test procedures that apply
HDSL4 systems feature the SmartJack option, which can emulate a Network Interface Device
(NID) for the purpose of loopback testing of the HDSL4 circuit. SMJK and NREM loopbacks
perform the same functions but their initiation differs. SMJK indicates that the loopback was
initiated by the 2-in-5 inband command. NREM, on the other hand, is initiated by the 3-in-7
inband command or by a command issued from the maintenance terminal or the MODE and SEL
pushbuttons.
Use the inband commands to enable or disable the SMJK loopback options. The H4TU-C-319
system setting is normally enabled to recognize all inband SmartJack loopback commands.
Special Loopback Commands
A3LB and A5LB loopback commands can be sent by a test set connected to the H4TU-C or H4TU-R. See
Table 17 on page 52 and Table 18 on page 53 for a list of the commands.
A3LB and A5LB are special, addressable, repeater loopback modes which are supported by the H4TU-C. These
loopback modes provide the HDSL4 system with sophisticated maintenance and troubleshooting tools. A3LB and
A5LB are patterned after the Westell addressable T1 repeater loopbacks.
The A5LB loopback selection complies with that proposed for HDSL4 systems in the T1E1.4/92 looopback
recommendation with the following additions:
•Query loopback
•IOR (Intelligent Office Repeater) power-down
•Four loopback time-out choices
•Initiation from either end
•Repeating bit error signatures
•Alternate query loopback
A5LB does not block the arming code from exiting the H4TU-C-319 into the network. Since A5LB never blocks
the arming code from exiting the H4TU-C, the Far-End Activate code is not available in A5LB. A3LB supports
the additional (1-in-6) SMJK loopback command.

Manual Loopback Session
A manual loopback session allows you to select any one of the HDSL4 loopbacks listed in Table 16 on page 51
with the exception of SmartJack loopbacks, which can only be issued by inband commands.
Setting the Loopback Time-Out Option (LBTO)
Before initiating a loopback session, verify that the Loopback Time-Out parameter is set to the desired setting.
1Use the MODE and SEL pushbuttons as described in “Setting Options through MODE and SEL” on page 10.
(The loopback time-out parameter is also user-selectable from the Config Menu, Standard Options screen
when using a maintenance terminal.)
2Select the desired setting:
•NONE (time-out disabled)
•20 minutes
•60 minutes
•120 minutes
•8 hr
•24 hr
Activating Manual Loopback Mode
With the exception of SmartJack, any of the HDSL4 loopbacks can be executed using the MODE
and SEL pushbuttons.
When executing a manual loopback session using the MODE and SEL pushbuttons:
•The next loopback option can be displayed by pressing the MODE pushbutton, however, the
previously activated loopback remains active until the SEL pushbutton is pressed, which
activates the new loopback.
•If neither pushbutton is pressed for a period of 30 seconds and no loopback is in effect, the
manual loopback session terminates, and the display returns to normal mode.
•If any loopback is in effect, the 30-second time-out is inhibited. The active loopback and the
manual loopback sessions continue until the loopback times out in accordance with the
LBTO setting.
•If there is an active loopback, pressing the MODE and SEL pushbuttons for 3 or more
seconds terminates any active loopback, ends the manual loopback session, and returns the
display to normal mode.
To initiate a manual loopback session:
1Press both the MODE and SEL pushbuttons on the front panel for at least 3 seconds. The following message
appears on the front-panel display:
MAN LPBK NLO? (XXXX indicates loopback choices)
2Press SEL to activate NLOC. The display changes to MAN LPBK NLOC.
3Press MODE to advance to the next available loopback:
•NDx? = Doubler 1 or Doubler 2, if H4D is avai lable
•NRE? = NREM
•CRE? = CREM
48September 12, 2003 H4TU-C-319 List 1
LTPH-UM-1031-03, Issue 3Testing
•CDx? = Doubler 1 or Doubler 2, if H4D is available
•CLO? = CLOC
•COL? = Dual loopback at H4TU-C
•DxL? = Dual loopback at Doubler 1 or Doubler 2, if available
•RUL? = Dual loopback at H4TU-R
4Press SEL to activate the selected loopback. The previous loopback is terminated.
Once a loopback is selected and activated, the loopback stays active until it times out (based on the LBTO setting).
When a loopback times out, the display returns to the normal display mode.
You can terminate loopbacks manually and exit the MAN LPBK mode by simultaneously pressing the MODE and
SEL pushbuttons for 3 or more seconds. If no loopback is active, the MAN LPBK mode automatically terminates
after 30 seconds.
All loopbacks can be initiated by inband commands in the DS1 payload or by a command from the HDSL4 system
(front-panel pushbuttons or maintenance screen selections). Therefore, whenever a loopback is active, the method
by which it was activated is indicated in the loopback and status information (Monitor screen) by the annotation
HG or PL adjacent to the identified loopback. For example, NREM-HG indicates that the loopback was initiated
by the HDSL4 system.
SMJK loopback commands are only activated by inband commands.
LOOPBACK TEST PROCEDURES
The following sections provide step-by-step test procedures for verifying the integrity of the HDSL4 channels at
every module location as well as the DS1 channels to the customer and the local DSX-1 interface. Figure 29 on
page 50 summarizes the available loopbacks in the system.
General Troubleshooting Tips
If trouble is encountered on the DSX-1 interface of the H4TU-C, verify that the:
•H4TU-C is making a positive connection with its shelf connector.
•H4TU-C internal equalizer is set to the correct distance range per Table 5 on page 19. All equalizers should
be set to the distance from the DSX-1 to the shelf.
The transmit and receive DSX-1 ports have splitting access jacks and miniature, 210-series, bridging jacks as
shown in Figure 1 on page 3. Connecting one cable between the two (BRG) jacks and another between the two
LINE jacks splits the IN and OUT and creates metallic loopbacks towards both the DSX-1 and the H4TU-C-319.
If separate plugs are inserted into both LINE jacks with the other end disconnected, the BRG jacks can be used to
send and receive test patterns towards the DSX-1.

To perform the GNLB loopback test procedure:
1Have the CO tester send the NREM (3-in -7) inband loop up code for 5 seconds. You should observe the
NREM message on the front-panel display. (The Status LED on the front panel should be green, and the
loopback mode should also be identified on the Monitor screen.)
2Have the CO tester transmit a DS1 test signal towards the H4TU-C and verify that the returned (looped) signal
to the test set is error-free.
3If step 2 fails, have the CO tester transmit the (3-in-5) inband loopd own code.
4Have the CO tester send the NLOC (4-in -7 ) inb and loopup for 5 seconds. You should observe the NLOC
message on the front-panel display. (The Status LED on the front panel should be yellow, and the loop back
mode should also be identified on the Monitor screen.)
5Repeat Step 2. If the test passes, the problem is in the downstream direction. If it fails, the problem is in the
upstream direction.
A3LB Test Procedure
The H4TU-C-319 can be looped back by sending the Addressable Office Repeater (AOR) LPBK activation code
1111-1111-0001-1110 (FF1E) for at least 5 seconds. This causes the H4TU-C to enter the NLOC state. The
Loopback Time-Out setting (see “Setting the Loopback Time-Out Opti on (LBTO) ” on page 48) determines the
duration of this loopback unless it is overridden by the reception of a second identical 16-bit loopup command
before the timer expires. When this time-out override state exists, the only way to loop the H4TU-C down is to
issue one of the three loopdown commands listed in Table 17. The automatic time-out mode is restored dur ing
subsequent loopback sessions.

A5LB Test Procedure
Using the codes listed in Table 18, a network tester can activate NLOC or NREM loopbacks (or SMJK, if
enabled). A tester at the customer premises can activate CLOC or CREM loopbacks.
(a) The leftmost bit arrives first in all sequences. The detection algorithm functions reliably with a random 10-3 BER on the facility.
The entire arming and loopback sequence can also be initiated at the remote H4TU-R location.
(b) The H4TU-R identifies CREM (and the H4TU-C identifies NLOC) with 231 bit errors, including the frame bits. When framed
data is being sent in the Auto framing mode, the number of the 231 bit errors detected by the test set varies from 229 to 231,
depending on whether or not the test set counts frame errors as bit errors, and on the number of frame bits contained in the
block of 231 error bits. The H4TU-R and H4TU-C generate this bit pattern in a series of discontinuous bursts containing 20-bit
errors each, including frame bits. Those test sets that do not count frame error bits as data bit errors will indicate fewer bits
than the H4TU-R and H4TU-C transmit for a CI and NI loopback.
(c) The H4TU-R is assigned the ILR-2 loopback code. It responds with 20 bit errors (excluding the frame bits).
(d) The IOR Power Down code must remain present for the duration of the power down mode. When this code is removed, the
system returns to its normal unlooped and unarmed state.

Testing LTPH-UM-1031-03, Issue 3
To perform the A5LB test procedures:
1Send the inband Arming and NI LPBK code 11 000 to the H4TU-C for at least 5 seconds.
2Monitor the output of the H4TU-C for the return of the pattern. Return of the pattern indicates one of the
following:
•The H4TU-R has looped up (if the SMJK Loopback option is enabled).
•An external NID has looped up (if the SMJK Loopback option is disabled), and the H4TU-C and
H4TU-R have been armed.
3Verify, if possi ble, that the H4TU-R Loopback LED is either flashing yellow at four times per second
(indicating that the system is armed), or is a steady yellow (indicating that it is both armed and in SMJK
loopback). The H4TU-C Status LED also flashes yellow when the system is armed.
If the Arming code is not returned after 5 seconds, the system may be armed, but there is no
active loopback.
4Once armed, the H4TU-C can be looped back by sending Intelligent Office Repeater (IOR) LPBK activation
code 1101-0011-1101-0011 (D3D3) for at least 5 seconds. You should observe the following activation
response pattern in the order presented:
•2 seconds of AIS (all ones pattern)
•2 seconds of returning data pattern
•231 logic errors (including the frame bit) occurring in the returned pattern comprising:
—10 errors, if ILR-1 (Doubler 1) was sent
—200 errors, if ILR-20 (Doubler 2) was sent
—20 errors, if ILR-2 (H4TU-R) was sent
•Normal looped data
This error pattern repeats every 20 seconds as long as the IOR loopback pattern is being sent. This also applies
to ILR, Time-Out Override, and Query commands.
Some Intelligent Repeater (IR) test sets do not count frame errors as bit errors when the test
pattern is framed and the H4TU-C-319 is set to the Auto framing mode. To improve compatibility
with those test sets, the H4TU-C generates 231 (NLOC and CREM) ID bit errors. As a result, the
H4TU-C may indicate one more or one less bit error, depending on the test set type and the
number of frame bits contained in the block of errored bits. To avoid this uncertainty, ADC
recommends sending unframed IR commands.
The H4TU-C is now in logic loopback if the IOR NLOC loopback command was sent. The Time-Out
Override command or a Loopdown command can override the selection made for the loopback time-out (see
“Setting the Loopback Time-Out Option (LBTO)” on page 48). If the Time-Out Override code
1101-0101-1101-0110 (D5D6) is received after activating a loopback, then the automatic timed expiration of
the loopback is inhibited. If this Time-Out Override is sent, then the only way to loop the H4TU-C down is
to do one of the following:
•Issue the IR (Intelligent Repeater) LPDN (loopdown) code 1001-0011-1001-0011 (9393).
•Issue the NI LPDN and Disarm inband code 11100 or the ESF-DL code (FF24).
54September 12, 2003 H4TU-C-319 List 1
LTPH-UM-1031-03, Issue 3Testing
The Time-Out Override function is only valid for the current active loopback. The automatic
time-out timer is restored during subsequent loopback sessions.
5Once the test is complete, do one of the following:
•If the system is to loopdown but remain armed, send the IR (Intelligent Repeater) LPDN code (universal
loopdown).
•If all the equipment is to be looped down, disarmed and returned to normal operation, send the disarm
inband code 11100 or the ESF-DL code (FF24).
The Armed mode has an automatic time-out of 120 minutes, but this timer is reset to 120 for any
of the following events:
•Loopback terminates (manually or time-out)
•Query
•Alternate query
•Far End activate
•Another ARM command
This timer is inhibited while any of the valid command codes are being sent. Once the codes
are removed, the timer restarts at 120.

The test pattern is sent out either from the line unit towards the network (toward NET) or from
the remote unit towards the customer (toward CPE). Both test payloads must be looped back so
they can be returned to the unit for BER detection. BER detection is performed in the line unit
for both switch settings.
Tests done towards the NET must be looped at some point external to the higher circuit. Tests
done towards the CPE can either be looped back at some external point beyond the remote unit,
or they can be looped back internally by a higher loopback, such as NREM. The test payload,
for the CPE direction, also passes back and forth over the HDSL4 link to the H4TU-C before it is
analyzed for errors.

POWER CONSUMPTION
The three most important power parameters of an H4TU-C are its maximum power consumption, maximum
power dissipation, and maximum current drain.
Table 20 describes line-powered and locally powered (remote) circuits on the maximum reach condition (34 kft.)
using 26 AWG wire.

Heat Dissipation (Watts)-42.5 Vdc Current (mA)
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power dissipation measures the power converted into heat which builds up within the unit. It
contributes to the total heat generated in the space around the unit. It is used to determine the maximum number
of fully loaded shelves per bay that does not exceed the maximum allowable pow er dissipation density in
watts per square foot to comply with GR-63.
In COs, the maximum power dissipation for open-faced, natural convection-cooled mountings is limited to
134.7 watts per square foot per GR-63-CORE. Use this limit and the parameters in Table 21 on page 61 to
determine the maximum number of H4TU-C circuits that can occupy one CO bay.
This is a worst case situation since it assumes the entire CO is subjected to the maximum power
density. More favorable conditions would permit increasing the number of shelves per bay
without jeopardizing the CO thermal integrity.
The thermal loading limitations imposed when using the H4TU-C in a Controlled Environmental Vault (CEV) or
other enclosures are determined by applying its power parameters to the manufacturer's requirements for each
specific housing.
The -48 Vdc power consumption is the maximum total power that the H4TU-C consumes or draws from the shelf
power source. This parameter is needed when the H4TU-C is in a location remote to the CO it is serving. It
determines the battery capacity required to maintain an 8-hour, standby battery reserve for emergency situations.
Battery capacity, therefore, limits the maximum number of line units which can be installed in a remote enclosure.
Use the data in Table 21 to perform this analysis.

LTPH-UM-1031-03, Issue 3Appendix A - Specifications
MAXIMUM CURRENT DRAIN
The maximum current drain is the maximum current drawn from the shelf power supply when it is at its minimum
voltage (-42.5
Vdc). This determines the shelf fusing requirements. Use the -42.5 Vdc current data in Table 21 to
determine the shelf fusing requirements for your particular H4TU-C applications.
LOOP ATTENUATION, INSERTION LOSS, AND REACH
For Span 1, each loop has no more than 47 dB of insertion loss at 196 kHz, with driving and terminating
impedances of 135Ω, as shown in Table 21 below. This is equivalent to no more than 34 dB loop attenuation.
For Span 2 and Span 3, each loop has no more than 43 dB of insertion loss at 196 kHz, with driving and
terminating impedances of 135Ω. This is equivalent to no more than 31 dB loop attenuation.

Network Management Control Bus
The H4TU-C provides a Network Management Control Bus on pin 7 of the card-edge connector. This allows the
various Management System protocols to manage the H4TU-C through the HMU-319. Whenever the H4TU-C is
under management, the MNGD message displays periodically on the front-panel display.
Some H4TU-C-319 features are affected when it is under management. Consult the management
unit practice for further information (see “Appendix D - Product Support” on page 66).
Fuse Alarm
Pin 10 on the card-edge connector is a Fuse Alarm that is driven to -48 Vdc whenever its onboard fuse opens. It
emulates the function of the Fuse Alarm output from pin 10 on normal, high-density (HD) repeaters. Pin 10 is
connected to pin 5 of the 1184 Alarm Card (slot 1 in the HD shelf) and causes the 1184 Fuse ALM LED to light
when the pin 10 signal is activated. Its normally floating output must never be driven above ground or below
-80 V. It can sink a current of 10 mA. The H4TU-C does not support the BPV function (Pin E) of normal HD
repeaters.

LTPH-UM-1031-03, Issue 3Appendix A - Specifications
System Alarm Output Pin
Pin H on the card-edge connector (see Figure 33 on page 63) is the H4TU-C-319 System Alarm output pin. The
following notes apply to Pin H:
•Pin H replaces the Local Loss of Signal (LLOS) on normal high-density (3192) repeaters.
•The normally floating output of Pin H can connect to pin 1 of the 1184 or 3192-9F Alarm Card in position 29
of the High Density (HD) shelf.
•The H4TU-C forces pin H to +5Vdc (maximum of 10 mA) for a system alarm condition. Pin H then remains
at +5 Vdc for the duration of the alarm condition.
•If the Wescom 1184 Alarm Card is installed in the shelf, its LOS LED lights for every minor alarm
(MNRALM).
•The H4TU-C Status LED flashes red for the duration of a system alarm condition.
•Setting the ALM option to DIS only prevents the system alarm bus on Pin H from being activated for a system
alarm event. The Status LED still flashes red and the ALRM message still displays.
Pin H must never be taken above +5 Vdc or below -60 Vdc.

APPENDIX B - FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
HDSL4 technology provides full-duplex services at standard T1 rates over two pairs of copper wire between an
H4TU-C, H4Ds (if necessary), and an H4TU-R which comprise one ADC sy stem. ADC systems use Overlapped
Pulse Amplitude Modulation Transmission (OPAM) transceiver systems to establish two, full-duplex, 784 kbps
data channels between the H4TU-C-319 and a remotely located H4TU-R.
A block diagram of the H4TU-C-319 is shown in Figure 34. The H4TU-C-319 receives a 1.544 Mbps DSX-1 data
stream from the DSX-1 digital cross-connect interface. The H4TU-C-319 contains a DS1 frame synchronizer
controlled by an 8-bit microprocessor that determines the type of framing on the DS1 stream and synchronizes
with it. The H4TU-C-319 recognizes Superframe (SF), including D4, or Extended Superframe (ESF) framing.
When the data is unframed, the H4TU-C-319 arbitrarily defines a frame bit.

TIMING
The low-loop wander (0.5 UI max) of an H4TU-C, when used with remote units, allows the circuit to be used in
all critical timing applications, including those used to transport Stratum 1 timing.
GROUND FAULT DETECTION
The H4TU-C has a Ground Fault Detection (GFD) circuit which detects a ground or a resistive path to ground on
any wire of the HDSL4 loop. This makes the product compliant with the Class A2 requirements of GR-1089.
SPECTRUM ISSUES
The asymmetric 776 kbps spectrum, defined in ANSI T1.418 Issue 2, allows the HDSL4 product to be spectrally
compatible with ADSL services in adjacent pairs in the same binding groups for all non-doubler applications. A
combination of asymmetric and symmetric spectrums is used for ADSL compatibility in doubler applications.
