2 USING THE CRAFT INTERFACE
After the initial installation of a Soneplex Broadband system, most testing and local
operations are conducted with the Craft Interface through a VT-100 compatible terminal. This
terminal is connected either to the front panel of the MPU plug-in module, or through a port
located on the rear of the Soneplex Broadband chassis. Both of these connecting points
provide a standard EIA-232C interface.
(this section), provides instructions on how to use the Craft
contains NTPs, DLPs, TAPs, and TADs for
, located at the back of this manual provides
When you are configuring the Soneplex Broadband system, monitoring alarms, or clearing
trouble, the TOP procedure guides you through a series of menu commands using the Craft
Interface. The Main Menu on the Craft Interface lists all the major functions, while sub-menus
further break down the functions. The menu structure is shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. Soneplex Broadband (V5) Craft Interface Menu Tree
UNUSED IN THE SONEPLEX
BROADBAND CHASSIS (V5)
AT THIS TIME.
A logon is required to gain access to the Craft Interface. The logon remains active until either
the operator logs off or a user-selectable period of keyboard inactivity is exceeded. The
default time-out period is 30 minutes. Passwords are used to limit access to the system. When
you enter your assigned User Name, the Soneplex Broadband system will request a password.
When you enter your assigned password, the Main Menu appears. It includes the current
software version number (top right corner) and a copyright insignia. A default user ID and
password are available for a newly installed system; but to ensure system security, these
should be removed by the system administrator after the system is in operation.
3 EDITING FIELDS
The keyboard is used to select menus, view the various screens, and when necessary, to enter
alpha and numeric information into the system. Keyboard operations make use of the alpha
and numeric keys, arrow keys, enter or return key, space bar, and control key.
In the Craft Interface system, a cursor is used to indicate menu selections, option settings, and
data entry fields. The cursor may take the form of a block, a highlighted field, or a flashing
line. When selecting a menu, the cursor is moved by pressing either the arrow or number keys.
When selecting an option setting or making a data entry, the cursor is moved by pressing the
arrow keys.
3.2 Arrow Keys
The arrow keys are used to move the cursor to indicate menu selections, option settings, and
data entry fields. In screens that have more than one page, the up and down arrow keys also
move the screen up or down one line at a time. In the same screens, the left arrow key moves
the screen up one page and the right arrow key moves the screen down one page. Each time
the screen is moved down one page, the last line from the previous screen is displayed as the
first line on the new page. Each time the screen is moved up one page, the first line from the
previous screen is displayed as the last line on the new page.
3.3 Enter and Return Keys
The Enter and Return keys causes the system to act on the data that was entered. Selections
may be entered into the system in one of two ways:
1. By pressing an arrow key and then the Enter or Return key
once
.
2. By pressing the Enter or Return key
screen but before leaving the screen.
Pressing the space bar when the cursor is in a toggle field changes the item at the cursor. If the
item is selected from a list of options, pressing the space bar brings up the next choice.
3.5 “R” Key
If you press the “R” key by itself when you are in a toggle field, the selection will revert to its
previous value.
3.6 Control Key
Special functions are activated by pressing the Control key and another key at the same time,
as shown in Table 1-1.

4 USING A TOP DOCUMENT
The procedures in this section are written in the Task Oriented Practice (TOP) format. The TOP
method of presenting information provides step-by-step instructions for the successful completion
of the indicated task. To find the instructions for performing enclosure installation, plug-in unit
installation and initial turn-up, and installation troubleshooting tasks, follow these steps:
1. Find the task to be performed in the Task Index List (IXL-001).
2. Locate the specified director level, detail level, or trouble-clearing procedure. All
procedures are in numerical order, regardless of type. The TOP procedures in this
manual are of the following four types:
•Non Trouble Clearing Procedure (NTP): A director level procedure that lists normal
work items to be performed that are not trouble clearing procedures.
•Trouble Analysis Procedure (TAP): A director level procedure that provides step-bystep instructions to locate and fix trouble.
•Detailed Level Procedure (DLP): Detailed step-by-step instructions or procedures.
•Trouble Analysis Data (TAD): A trouble-clearing aid containing non-procedural data.
3. Perform all the items in the director level procedure (NTP or TAP) in the order listed
unless sent to another director level procedure. When a director level procedure is
finished, the task is completed. When more detailed information is required, the reader
will be sent to a DLP. A DLP may also direct the reader to another DLP.
When a DLP is complete, return to the procedure that preceded the DLP.
Note:
When sent from one director level procedure to another director level procedure,
Note:
in most instances it will not be necessary to go back to the first director level procedure
after competing the second.
4. In some procedures, it will be necessary to verify that certain responses have occurred. If
the expected response is not observed, refer to the appropriate TAP. If additional data is
required (such as a schematic diagram, line drawing, tabulated data, maintenance
philosophy, or trouble-clearing strategy), the reader will be sent to a TAD.

HDSL-EQUIPPED CIRCUIT CROSS-CONNECTS
DLP-515
Page 1 of 1
Summary:
This procedure provides instructions for making any necessary cross-connects on
HDSL loops, and then re-install the HLXC modules.
Danger:
To avoid electric shock, be careful when working near HDSL loop connections
or telecommunications circuits. An electrical potential of ±130 volts exists on HDSL
loop connections and telecommunications circuits. Coming in contact with this high
electrical potential will result in death or severe personal injury.
Caution:
Electronic modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before
handling modules, wear an anti-static discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to
electronic components. Place modules in anti-static packing material when transporting
or storing. When working on modules, always place them on an approved anti-static mat
that is electrically grounded.
1. Open the chassis cover.
2. Use the ejector at the bottom of each HLXC module front panel to carefully disengage the
module from its connector.
3. Withdraw each HLXC module part way to break electrical contact with the backplane
connector.
The HLXC module can be configured to supply –130 VDC simplex current over
Note:
the HDSL loops to supply power to the remote HLXR modules. When an HDSL
Repeater (HRX) is in the HDSL loops, HLXC modules can be configured to supply
±130 VDC. Partially withdrawing the HLXC module ensures that current is not present
when cross-connects are installed.
4. At the central office, make necessary cross-connects at the Main Distribution Frame, or
other facility, in accordance with local practice.
5. At the remote location, make necessary cross-connects at the remote distribution frame, or
other facility, in accordance with local practice.
6. Re-install the HLXC module(s) in their mounting slots.

HLXC INSTALLATION AND TESTING
Summary:
This procedure provides instructions for installing the Version C, D, E, or G HLXC
module, which mounts in the half-height slots located in the middle of the chassis. A typical
HDSL Loop Extension (HLX) system consists of an HLXC module installed in the chassis and
an HLXR module installed at a remote location. There is no protection for the module or signal
when using HDSL circuits.
Caution:
Modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before handling
any modules, ESD protection must always be used. Ensure that all modules removed
from the chassis or not installed are properly stored in anti-static packing material.
When working with modules, always place the module on an electrically-grounded,
approved, anti-static mat.
When using HLXC modules in a group, NEVER install ODS2 modules in any of
Note:
the unused slots in the group.
1. Select the HLXC module. If it is not already installed, remove the module from its
protective ESD packaging. If the HLXC module is installed, remove it and inspect for
physical damage.
2.
Version C HLXC only:
locate the configuration switches on the HLXC module printed
circuit board as shown in Figure 516-1.
3.
Version C HLXC only:
set the configuration switches as specified in the work order.
These switch settings do not need to be set if the unit is to be provisioned via the software.
Otherwise, refer to Figure 516-1 for the switch handle settings. The following operating
parameters are switch-selectable:
•Loop 2 (enable/disable)
•Loop Power (on/off)
With loop 2 enabled, both HDSL loops will be active allowing a full DS1 payload.
Note:
With loop 2 disabled, the first 12 DS0 channels will be carried on loop 1 and DS0
channels 13 through 24 will be filled with all ones (fractional DS1).
When the Loop Power switch is set to the ON position, the HLXC module
Note:
supplies –130 VDC simplex power to the loops.
4. Determine which HLXC slots are to be used, referring to your work order and Figure 516-
2. Chassis slots 1-1 through 7-4 correspond to DS1 signals 1 through 28. See Table 516-1.

5. Align the edges of the printed circuit card with the card guides in the chassis. Use the
injector at the bottom of the front panel to press the HLXC module into the chassis. If there
is excessive resistance to insertion, remove the module and check for improper alignment
or obstructions.
6. Perform the initial start-up test detailed in Figure 516-3, observing the front panel LEDs,
and verify that each LED operates as specified. Refer to Figure 516-4 for front panel
layouts of the different HLXC versions.
•If the STATUS LED is green following self-test, proceed to Step 7.
•If the STATUS indicator is red, the HLXC module has failed self-test diagnostics.
Remove and then reinsert the HLXC module and then wait while the HLXC module
again performs self-test diagnostics. If the STATUS indicator turns red at the end of the
second self-test, the HLXC module is defective. Remove and replace the HLXC, and
then repeat Steps 1 through 6.
7. Press the LMPTST switch on the APU to verify that the all the indicators on the HLXC
module front panel light yellow. This indicates that each indicator is functional.
•If each indicator is yellow, continue to Step 8 or 9.
•If each indicator is not yellow, the HLXC module is defective. Remove and replace the
HLXC, and then repeat Steps 1 through 7.
8. Version C HLXC only: if the Loop Power option is selected in Step 3, measure DC voltage
and DC current being supplied to the HLXR. (The Version E and Version D HLXC defaults
to loop power enabled.)

MPU REPLACEMENT AND TESTING
Summary
This procedure provides instructions for installing a previously configured MPU in a chassis
(whether provisioned or not) and verifying that the MPU is functioning. When an MPU from a
provisioned chassis is moved to another chassis, the chassis unit (module) configurations may
not match the MPU unit configurations. These instructions explain how to avoid unwanted data
replacements or data conflicts. The MPU contains both general configuration data and unit
configuration data.
All configuration data can be restored to the MPU by performing a database upload or download
procedure. The upload is outlined in DLP-554 (Configuration Data Upload Command), and the
download is outlined in DLP-555 (Configuration Data Download Command).
General Configuration Data
System administration and maintenance tasks create general configuration data (alarm levels,
PM thresholds, system identification, port configuration, and user account data).
Unit Configuration Data
Individual module configurations create unit configuration data (which includes unit service
state, framing, line coding, etc.) Unit configuration data does not need to be re-entered as long as
the chassis remains powered and transmission units remain installed. Unit configuration data is
also stored in the transmission units and is loaded back into a non-configured MPU
automatically.
When installing a replacement MPU module, use the same DIP or rotary switch
Note:
settings on the MPU’s printed circuit board as the MPU you are removing.
When an MPU is removed from a powered-up chassis, the MPU retains both
Note:
general and unit configuration data for at least 24 hours. Do not install a still-configured
MPU in an already-configured chassis. If you want to retain unit configuration data in all
transmission units (or prevent alarms) and you are installing a previously configured
MPU, verify that the MPU’s unit configuration data is gone before you re-install it.
Caution:
older revision than the currently installed MPU. A corrupted database may result.
Do NOT re-install MPUs with revisions older than 3.1, or MPUs that have an
Caution:
Electronic modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before
handling modules, wear an anti-static discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to
electronic components. Place modules in anti-static packing material when transporting
or storing. When working on modules, always place them on an approved anti-static mat
that is electrically grounded.

1. To save the replacement MPU’s current configuration data, upload configuration data to the
host computer. Contact the Technical Assistance Center at ADC Telecommunications,
described in the General Information section of this manual, for more information.
Reference:
DLP-554 Configuration Data Upload Command
2. Locate the mounting slot designated for the MPU as shown in Figure 519-1.
3. Align the edges of the module printed circuit card with the guides in the chassis slot. Use
the injector at the bottom of the front panel to press the MPU into the chassis. If there is
excessive resistance to insertion, remove the module and check for improper alignment and
obstructions.
If you are not sure that the MPU’s database is cleared, contact the ADC Technical
Note:
Assistance Center at 1-800-366-3891, ext. 3223, or 1-612-946-3223 for more
information.
4. Use the screw provided to secure the MPU to the top edge of the chassis.
5. Observe the STATUS LED as shown in Figure 519-2. Initially, the status LED will be
yellow while the MPU performs self-test diagnostics. When the self-test diagnostics are
successfully completed, the STATUS LED will turn green.
•If the STATUS LED is green, continue to Step 6.
•If the STATUS LED is red, the MPU has failed self-test diagnostics. Press the MPU
RESET switch and then wait while the MPU again performs self-test diagnostics. If the
STATUS LED turns red at the end of the second self-test, the MPU is defective.
Remove and replace the MPU, and then repeat Steps 2 through 5.
6. Press the LMPTST switch on the APU to verify that the STATUS LED on the MPU front
panel lights yellow. This indicates that the LED is functional. If the STATUS LED does not
light yellow, the MPU is defective. Remove and replace the MPU, and then repeat Steps 2
through 5.
7. Connect a VT-100 (or equivalent) control terminal or host computer to the MPU Craft port.
