Safety Instructions

When using your telephone equipment, please follow these basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electr ical shock, or personal injury:

1. Do not use this product near water, such as a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless-type) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of shock from lightning.

3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

4. Use only the power cord, power sup ply, and/or ba tterie s indicat ed in the manual . Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.

Affidavit Requirements for Connectio n to Digit a l Services

• An affidavit is required to be given to the telephone company whenever digital terminal equipment without encoded analog content and billing protection is used to transmit digital signals containing encoded analog content wh ic h are int ende d for eventual conversion into voiceband analog signals and transmitted on the network.

• The affidavit shall affirm that either no encoded analog content or billing information is being transmitted or that the output of the device meets Part 68 encoded analog content or billing protection specifications.

• End user/customer will be responsible for filing an affidavit with the local exchange carrier when connecting unprotected customer premise equipment (CPE) to 1.544 Mbps or subrate digital services.

Until such time as subrate digital terminal equipment is registered for voice applications, the affidavit requirement for subrate services is waived.

FCC regulations require that the following information be provided in this manual:

1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. On the

equipment housing is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, provide this information to the telephone company.

2. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily

discontinue service. If possible, advance notification is given; otherwise, notification is given as soon as possible. The telephone company will advise the customer of the right to file a complaint with the FCC.

3. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures

that could affect the proper operation of this equipment. Advance notification and the opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service are given.

4. If experiencing difficulty with this equipment, please contact ADTRAN for repair and warranty

Chapter 1 Introduction

T1/FT1 OVERVIEW

T1 digital communication links have been used by telcos for the transmission of voice since the early sixties. The D4 channel bank is an example of a T1 digital carrier system that was introduced in the midseventies and is still wide ly used by the tel cos . Communica tion demands of business continued to grow to the point that the telcos began offering T1 service directly to the public. D4 channel banks were used for T1 in corporate network topograph ies for voice. The techn ologic al advan ces in computer d evelopment also created a demand for T1 data communication, which now is a large part of the T1 traffic.

T1 SERVICE OFFERINGS

T1 is a digital service delivered to the user over two pairs of wires from the service provider. The signal operates at 1.544 Mbps and is usually extended by repeaters installed approximately every mile after the first 6000 feet. The T1 s ig nal is divided into 24 time slot s whi ch operate at 64 kbps (DS0s). Ea ch time slot is occupied by digitized voice or by data.

The T1 signal original ly used a t ype of fr aming kno wn as D4 superf rame (SF), wh ich id entifies ho w the T1 is multiplexed. An enhancement of that framing format, called extended superframe (ESF), is available. ESF provides a non-disruptive means of full-time monitoring on the digital facility. It was originally used by service providers to monitor the performance of their service offering. Since the introduction of ESF, equipment installed in private networks can also provide this performance information to the user.

T1 ESF CSU ACE OVERVIEW

Most carriers (regional or local telcos), when supplying a T1 line to customer premises equipment (CPE), require an interface to monitor the T1 line. The T1 ESF CSU ACE (extended superframe channel service unit advanced communicat ion equipment) pro vides the requi red interfac e between the CPE (such as DSUs, channel banks, T1 multiplexers, and PBXs) and telco or private T1 facilities. Figure 1-1 depicts a typical application.

The T1 ESF CSU ACE provides sur ge pr otection , signal rege neration , alarms, and loopbacks necessary for circuit operation and fault isolation. The unit provides the simultaneous use of performance report messages of ANSI T1.403 and maintenance messages of AT&T TR54016. The T1 ESF CSU ACE also provides conversion from SF to ESF framing fo rmats, allowi ng older SF data termina l equipment (DTE) to take advantage of the superior diagnostic capabilities of ESF T1 facilities.

The unit complies with Par t 6 8 of FCC Rules and with applicab le s ect i ons o f AT&T 62411, ANSI T1.102, and T1.403.
