PASSTHRU OVER VIEW
The DSX-1 Passthru is one of the secondary interface
option modules available for use with the ADTRAN
TSU 100/600. The Passthru option card should be
selected to provide DSX-1 access for PBXs, or other
equipment, that use a DSX-1 interface. When used with
a PBX, this interface permits the combination of voice
and data in a single T1 stream. The allocation of the
amount of bandwidth for the Passthru is selectable.
Chapter 1. Introduction
Chapter 1
Introduction
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Passthru is designed to fit in the option slot of the
TSU 100/600 and is subject to its operation and control.
The Passthru is configured from the front panel of the
TSU 100/600 or by an external personal computer (PC)
program. The internal menus for its configuration are a
part of the Passthru card and are automatically installed
when the Passthru is plugged into the unit.
Features
The DSX-1 Passthru Option Module has the following
features:
• Operates using 1 to 24 DS0s
• Operates as a drop and pass-on or as a standard passon module
61200.055L1-1C DSX-1 Passthru Option Module 1

The Passthru rear panel includes a plastic plug over a

interface plug-on card to be added to the Passthru card,
part number 1200053L1. The PORT X.1 identification
on the rear panel is linked to the port numbering
philosophy of the TSU 100/600 product family. The X

represents the slot number, and the .1 indicates the port
number. For the TSU 100/600 application, there is only
one option slot. Therefore the port designation for the
Passthru port is 1.1. If added, the Nx56/64 port
designation would be 1.2. These port numbers appear
in the front panel LCD menu displays.

PO WER-UP TESTING AND INITIALIZATION
The Passthru option module executes a self test during
the power-up sequence, as described in the TSU 100/600
User Manual. No initialization input is required. Any
previously configured setting for the Passthru is restored
automatically upon power-up.
Successful Self Test
The green OK LED, located with the Module LEDs on
the front panel, illuminates when a successful self test is
completed and the configuration is successfully restored.
See Front Panel Operation, TSU 100/600 User Manual.
Failed Self Test
If the Passthru module fails one or more of the self tests
a message is displayed in the LCD during power-up. See
TSU 100/600 User Manual. Specific failures of the
Passthru module are identified in the alarm listings in
the appendix.
Operation Alarms
The red ALARM LED with the Module LEDs on the front
panel illuminates when an alarm condition is detected.

Operation
The Passthru (DSX-1) module is controlled as part of the
TSU 100/600 using the same methods as described in
the user manual.
Refer to the user manual for the TSU 100/600 for
descriptions of front panel indicators and buttons.
When an option card is installed in the TSU 100/600,
the unit adds it to the list of selectable options under the
Port menu items. These menu items are shaded in the
limited overview of the TSU 100 menu shown in Figure
3-1. The appendix, TSU 100 Complete Menu, of the TSU
100 User Manual shows a complete menu diagram.
M enu Operation
An option module must be selected from the listing in
one of the Port menu options before its menus are
applicable. With the cursor on one of the Port menu
items, press Enter to display a list of the currently
installed option modules. To activate menus for the
Passthru Option Module scroll through the list to
display 1.1 DSX PT and press Enter.
Once the option module is selected, the Passthru menus
appear as a subset of, and operate the same as, menus

In-band Loopback (INBAND LPBA CK)
In-band Loopback sets the Passthru to accept or reject
in-band loopup and loopdown codes (per ANSI T1.403
specification) which may be sent to the card over the
DSX-1 interface. This loopback is a line loopback.

Port Test
Port Test, a submenu of the TSU 100/600 main menu
item Test, activates tests of the selected data ports.
Selecting the Passthru displays two loopback tests
available for this option module.
When Port Test is displayed, place the cursor on it and
press Enter to display the first available port. Scroll to
select 1.1 DSX1 PT and press Enter to activate.
Loopback
Loopback activates the loopback function on the
Passthru card. All ports contain a local loopback
(toward the DTE) and a port loopback (toward the NI)
as explained in the section Function Description of the
TSU 100/600 User Manual.
Line Loopback
On the Passthru card, the line loopback causes data
received at the DSX-1 interface to be looped back toward
the DTE (PBX) achieving a local loopback.
Port Loopback
The port loopback is internal and loops all data mapped
to the Passthru back toward the network interface on the
controller. The loopback (when used in conjunction
with an external bit error rate tester (BERT) driving the
network interface) exercises the entire data path from
the network interface (NI) controller, through the
Passthru option card, and back out the network interface controller. See Figure 3-3.
To deactivate the loopback, select None under the 1.1
DSX1 PT submenu.

TSU FEATURES USED WITH PASSTHRU OPTIONS
In addition to the Passthru menu items, two additional
menu items of the TSU 100/600 may be operated in
conjunction with the Passthru Option Module. These
are Factory Restore and Run Self Test.
Factory Restore
Factory Restore, a submenu of the TSU 100/600 main
menu item Utilities (UTIL) restores the factory installed
default setting for all Passthru option module parameters.
When Factory Restore is displayed, place the cursor on it
and press Enter to restore preset factory defaults and
return to the main TSU 100/600 menu.
Run Self Test
Run Self Test, a submenu of the TSU 100/600 main
menu item Test, executes both the Passthru internal test
and the TSU 100/600 internal test. The TSU 100/600
internal test is the same self test executed upon powerup. The results of the self test are displayed in the LCD.
For additional information on Self Test see the TSU 100/
600 User Manual.
When Run Self Test is displayed, place the cursor on it
and press Enter to execute the test. The unit continuously changes the display in the LCD window until all
test results are shown.
