• Easy configuration capabilities using simplistic menus displayed in a liquid crystal display (LCD) window operated by a front panel keypad.

• Data port supports V.35, EIA-530, V.36 and X.21 electrical interfaces.

• Selectable timing from the network, the Nx56/64 DTE port, or internally.

• All ones, all zeros, 511, QRSS, and 1:8 test patterns.

• Extensive self-testing and monitoring ensures proper operation.

• Flexible channel allocation (any starting channel and alternate or contiguous).

ESU LT Interfaces

The ESU LT is equipped with four interfaces:

• E1 Network interface per ITU G.703

• Nx56/64 high-speed, multiprotocol serial interface

• Control input (EIA-232)/Chain port input

• Chain port output

See Figure 1-3 and the following descriptions in this section.

Chapter 1. Introduction

ESU LT

Figure 1-3. ESU LT Int e rfaces

61200410L1-1 ESU LT User Manual 1-3

Network Interface (NI)

The Network Interface (NI) port provides the connection to the E1. This port complies with the applicable ANSI and CCITT standards. Either the 120Ω DB15 or the 75Ω BNC interface (adapter provided) may be used for the Network Interface. The 75/120 selection must be made with the front panel menus. For more information, see Wiring on page C-1.

Network Test Interface

The MON test jack provides a bridges access jack for nonintrusive monitoring of the incoming E1.

Nx56/64 Serial Interface

The Nx56/64 provides a serial interface that operates from 56kbps to 2.048 Mbps. The Nx56/64 can be configured as a V.35, V.36, EIA-530, or V.11 electrical interface through the front panel menus.

Control Por t Input

The control port input provides an EIA 232 input from a PC or a modem for control of the ESU LT. You can also use it as a chain input from another ESU LT or ESU 120e. For more information, see Wiring on page C-1.

Chapter 1. Introduction

Chain Port Output

The chain port output provides an EIA-232 output to chain control to other ESU LTs or ESU 120es. For more information, see Wiring on page C-1.

Software Management

Front Panel

The front panel provides complete and easy control of all items that can be configured through menu-guided options. The front panel LCD also displays the status of operation and performance reports for the unit. A complete discussion of the operation of the front panel is found in Chapter 3,

Operation on page 3-1. The menu options are found in Chapters 4 through 7.

1-4 ESU LT User Manual 61200410L1-1

T- Watch Pro Management Software Program

T-Watch Pro is the ADTRAN management software program that allows the user to control the ESU LT from a PC. It provides complete control over the configuration of the ESU LT using a graphic interface. The T-Watch Pro program displays the same status and performance data as the front panel LCD. This data is displayed as tables and graphs.

The T-Watch Pro program has the following capabilities:

• Interfaces with a modem which permits dialing into a remote ESU LT location to configure the unit or read the unit’s status or performance.

• The performance data read from the units can be exported in a file which is compatible with common spread sheet programs.

ESU LT Testing

The ESU LT offers three forms of testing:

•Self-test

• Loopback tests

• Pattern generation and check

Chapter 1. Introduction

Self-test

The self-test checks the integrity of the internal operation of the electronic components by performing memory tests and by sending and verifying data test patterns through all internal interfaces. Although actual user data cannot be passed during these tests, the self-test can run with the network and DTE interfaces in place, without disturbing any external interface.

The self-test automatically executes upon power up. It can also be commanded from a front panel menu or from the control port.

In addition to the specified self-tests, background tests are also run on various parts of the internal electronics. These

61200410L1-1 ESU LT User Manual 1-5

Loopback Tests

Chapter 1. Introduction

run during normal operation to confirm continued correct functioning. The background tests include:

• Monitoring the phase-locked loop for lock.

• Standard background network performance monitoring.

A number of different loopbacks can be invoked locally from the front panel, by T-Watch commands, or remotely using V.54 loopback code.

Network L o op ba cks

There are two types of network loopbacks. See Figure 1-4.

Payload Loopback

Similar to line loopback, except that the framing is extracted from the received data and then regenerated for the transmitted data.

Line Loopback

Loops all of the received data back toward the network. The transmitted data is the identical line code that was received, including any bipolar violations or framing errors.

ESU

Figure 1-4. Network Loopback Tests

1-6 ESU LT User Manual 61200410L1-1

DTE Int erface Lo op back

The Nx56K/64K serial interface offers a DTE loopback. See Figure 1-5.

DTE Loopback

Loops all data from the DTE back towards the DTE. This loopback may be initiated by using the front panel or T-Watch commands. The DTE (or the external test equipment) must provide a test pattern to check the DTE interface.

Chapter 1. Introduction

ESU

Figure 1-5. DTE Interface Loopback

61200410L1-1 ESU LT User Manual 1-7

Pattern Generation

The ESU LT offers five test patterns: 511, QRSS, 1:8, All Ones, and All Zeros.

Chapter 1. Introduction

511

QRSS

1:8

All Zeros All Ones

The 511 pattern is generated and checked by the Nx56K/ 64K serial interface. It only appears in the TS0s assigned to the Nx56K/64K port.

When used in conjunction with the payload loopback at the far end, an end-to-end integrity check can be made on the DTE ports.

The ESU LT has an internal QRSS pattern generator and detector. The pattern appears only in the TS0s assigned to the Nx56K/64K port. The QRSS test pattern can be used in conjunction with network loopbacks to perform end-toend tests.

The 1:8 is a stress pattern which places the maximum number of 0s in the transmitted data. This is always done over all time slots.

This pattern is used in conjunction with external test equipment to determine if the E1 line is performing acceptably under a stress condition. Each channel of the E1 has only one bit set.

Generates an all zeros pattern in every channel. Generates an all ones pattern in every channel.

1-8 ESU LT User Manual 61200410L1-1

Bridge/Router Ap plication

A bridge or router can be interfaced to the network by using the DTE interface. The bandwidth used is programmable at Nx56 or Nx64 data rates for E1 or FE1 service. The bandwidth can be selected as contiguous or alternate. Figure 1-6 shows a simple bridge application.
