The TR-TSY-000008 BellcoreTM standard (commonly referred to as TR-08) describes the generic
requirements for interfacing between local digital switches and remote digital terminals via the
SLC 96
TR-08 has three operational modes (ICX-250 supports mode I):
Although commonly referred to as the TR-08 standard, the R T channel numbering scheme supported
by the ICX-250 unit is described in section 9.9 of the Bellcore publication TR-TSY-000057.
The ICX-250 provides SLC-96 Frame Format and Data Link.
When a T1 port is configured for TR-08 format, the v oice channels as signed to this port are identifi ed
by “channel number” (according to the TR-TSY-000008 document), which may be different from
the T1 time slot number . The ICX-250 supports only Group A. The re lation between a channel number
and corresponding slot number for TR-08 is shown in the following table.
TM
digital loop carrier system.
• Modes I & III are non-concentrated and provide unique mapping between channel
numbers and DS1 time slots.
• Mode II is concentrated and there are no pre-determined relationships between the
channels and timeslots . This allocation of channe ls to t ime s lo ts i s made pos sible by the
exchange of messages between the Local Digital Switch (LDS) and remote terminal (RT).

The ICX-250 unit is equipped with an external alarm connector (located
on the rear panel of the unit) that will close in the event of an alarm
condition such as: T1 failure, internal failure, or power failure. A Red
alarm is detected by the T1 interface and responded to by issuing the
yellow alarm signal on the T1. The figure below illustrates the alarm
connector. It is recommended you use 26 to 24 gauge twisted-pair wire.

Grounding Requirements
Due to the UL regulatory requirements, a mounting stud is required for
connection of the AC input earth ground lead to the ICX-250 chassis.
The ground le ad must be conn ected to the ch assis using a N o. 6 nut and
lock washer combination. The mounting location is labeled with the IEC
417 No. 5019 symbol ( ) to identify this as the AC earth ground
connection point. This mounting stud is located next to the IEC 320 AC
input connector.
The loop battery return and the FXS digital and analog circuitry must
share a common ground. The access point on the back panel of the ICX250 product allows connection to an external battery return lead which
will be physically connected to the FXS circuit ground. This access point
is provided as part of the DC power input connector.
The ICX-250 is equipped with five external slide switches (
position, one - 2 position)
located on the front panel of the unit. They are
four - 3
used for T1 and Data Port test and Loopback Transmit / Receive paths.
Each switch is factory set to the off position. The switches should be
checked to be sure positioning hasn’t changed during shipment. The
illustration below outlines the location of the slide sw itches.
Locate the slide switch on the front panel that implements the function
desired. Use the end of a small object or the tip of your finger to change
the switch settings.
