CANADIAN EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS

Notice: The Canadian Industry and Science Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). Compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or an electrician, as appropriate.

Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the

The total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all devices does not exceed 100.

Understanding ISDN and the ISU 128

ISDN OVERVIEW

Chapter 1

The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a public or private switched digital network. ISDN is an international standard for digital communications, allowing a full range of enhanced services supporting voice, data, and image applications through standard interfaces over a single telephone wire. ISDN provides a means of integrating these services and modernizing communication networks for information movement and management efficiency.

THE ADTRAN ISU 128

The ADTRAN ISU™ 128 is a stand-alone device that connects data terminal equipment (DTE) to the ISDN network or to a leased digital network for data transmission. The ISU 128 allows high-speed data transmission (up to 128 kbps) over a single ISDN line. The ISU 128 meets the Microsoft Windows Plug-an-Play specifications. The file this file contact our website at URL of www.adtran.com ADTRAN technical support. The number is located on the inside back cover of this manual.

From the network, ISDN is delivered by a single 2-wire 2B1Q U-interface which is connected directly to the ISU 128. ISDN network termination is designed into the ISU 128, eliminating the need and expense of a separate NT1. For network testing, the ISU 128 responds to NT1 test commands from the telephone company central office (CO).

The ISU 128 transmits data over an RS-530, V.35 interface, or EIA-232 interface, selectable on the front panel. The ISU 128 performs at synchronous data transfer rates of 2400 bps to 128 kbps and asynchronous rates of 300 bps to 115.2 kbps. For speeds over 64 kbps, the industry standard BONDING or MULTILINK PPP protocol aggregates the two 64 kbps B channels for a maximum of 128 kbps. The ISU 128 is intended to support the transfer of data and images

MDMADTN.INF is required. To obtain

61202.029L2-1 ISU 128 User Manual

Chapter 1. Understanding ISDN and the ISU 128

over ISDN. The ISU 128 may be viewed as an ISDN dial modem that allows cost-effective high-speed data transmission at rates up to 128 kbps.

The ISU 128 has one RJ-45 jack available on the rear panel for network connection (see Figure 1-1). The RJ-45 jack labelled ISDN IFC is for ISDN Basic Rate. ISDN Basic Rate service divides a standard telephone line into three digital channels capable of simultaneous voice and data transmission. The three channels are comprised of two bearer (B) channels at 64 kbps and one data (D) channel at 16 kbps (2B+D).

The ISU 128 also supports a leased digital connection that allows data to be transferred at up to 128 kbps over a 2-wire facility using the U-interface jack labelled

ISDN IFC . This type of service is a permanent connection between

end points and is sometimes referred to as a leased connection, a dedicated connection, a nailed-up connection, a private circuit, or a limited distance modem connection. These types of service are referred to in this manual as Leased Line Service.

Figure 1-1

ISU 128 Rear Panel

Dialing from the ISU 128 is accomplished in a variety of ways:

• From the front panel

• From up to ten stored numbers

• Through an RS-366 dial port used in facsimile and video conferencing applications

• Over the DTE interface using the AT command set

• With V.25 bis in-band dialing (used in applications such as LAN/WAN bridging)

ISU 128 User Manual 61202.029L2-1

Chapter 1. Understanding ISDN and the ISU 128

• With DTR asserted, some bridges/routers raise DTR when bandwidth on

their dedicated line is exceeded. In high-traffic times, this allows the ISU 128 to dial out over the ISDN for an extra 128 kbps of bandwidth-on-demand.

The ISU 128 front panel accommodates a 2-line, 16 character LCD display. Seven LED indicators monitor data flow and display the status of key DTE interface leads as described in Table 1-A. A front panel keypad supports configuration, test modes, test status, and dialing (see Figure 1-2).

ISU 128 INTEROPERABILITY

Telephone networks are evolving from analog technologies to digital technologies such as ISDN. This transition is time-consuming and costly for the telephone companies. Upgrading all locations and facilities is a lengthy process.

The ISU 128 bridges this transition by supporting communications with existing and future network services and equipment. The ISU 128 supports communications with Switched 56 service, Switched 56 DSUs (2-wire and 4-wire), various ISDN terminal adapters, ISDN terminal equipment, BONDING compatible inverse multiplexers, and analog modems with the optional V.34 modem (part number 1202029L3).

Figure 1-3 illustrates the ISU 128 operation in various switched network services and customer premises products.

RECOMMENDED OPERATING PROTOCOLS

The ISU 128 supports a wide range of operating modes. Many combinations of circuit type, protocol, and data rate may be selected. However, only the combinations shown in Table 1-B are recommended. As noted in Table 1-B, all asynchronous rates will support flow control. Flow control is required when operating at 115,200 bps using PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), V.120, SAP (Simple Adtran Protocol), or asynchronous bonding.

Table 1-B shows that a given data rate may be achieved by more than one protocol/rate adaption selection. The table is organized so that selections with the least transport delay are closer to the top of the table for any given circuit type. Therefore, users should choose a protocol and rate closer to the top of the protocol rate list for a given circuit type.

ISDN Ordering Codes (IOCs)

ORDERING ISDN USING IOCS

Chapter 2

The development of ISDN ordering codes (IOCs) simplifies the process of ordering ISDN service. The ISDN Solutions Group, a consortium of ISDN equipment vendors, service providers, and Bellcore, established these codes to represent predetermined line configurations for ISDN Basic Rate service for specific applications.

ADTRAN and Bellcore have registered and tested eight generic IOCs. Of these, four are recommended for operation of the ISU 128. After reviewing the following list, order ISDN lines from the local service provider. Request the appropriate IOC for your application. They are described in detail in this chapter.

In some areas, ISDN tariffs may warrant the use of ordering codes with less features. For example, in a particular region, there may be additional monthly expense associated with having voice service on each B channel. If you have a data only application, cost-effective.

If these are not available from your service provider or you would like more information regarding ordering ISDN see the ADTRAN document Ordering

ISDN Service User Guide part number 60000.015-8 or contact your telephone

company for alternative line configurations. The Ordering ISDN Service User

Guide is available on the ADTRAN home page at http://www.adtran.com or

by calling ADTRAN.

After unpacking the unit, immediately inspect it for possible shipping damage. If damage is discovered, file a claim immediately with the shipping carrier, then contact ADTRAN Repair and Return Department (see the end of this manual).

Ensure that a grounded, 115 VAC, 60 Hz receptacle is used to provide power.

NETWORK CONNECTION

The ISU 128 supports either dial or leased operation. An eight-pin RJ-45 modular jack labelled ISDN IFC on the rear panel allows connection to ISDN Basic Rate Service provided by the telephone company or to a leased type of service.

Dial operation uses the ISDN Basic Rate U-interface and allows the ISU 128 to dial out over the ISDN network. The Leased Line Service can be dedicated 2B1Q data service or a nailed-up circuit (twisted pair) that provides a dedicated connection between end points such as a limited distance modem or pointto-point connection. When using the ISU 128 in either of these types of service, connect the network interface to the RJ-45 connector labelled ISDN IFC.

See the appendix Connector Pinouts for network connection pin assignments.

Chapter 3

Installation

61202.029L2-1 ISU 128 User Manual 11

Chapter 3. Installation

DTE DATA CONNECTION

Data terminal equipment is connected to the ISU 128 by using either the RS530 interface, the V.35 interface, or EIA-232 interface on the rear panel of the ISU 128. The maximum recommended cable lengths are shown in Table 3-A. See the appendix Connector Pinouts for each interface pin assignments. Be sure to configure the menu option for the connector type used in your application. Refer to the section DTE Options for Asynchronous and Synchronous Operation in Chapter 6 to configure the connector type.

The RS-530 interface and the V.35 interface support data rates up to 128 kbps. The DTE rate is configured from the front panel of the ISU 128 or by using AT commands. See the chapter Configuration to configure the ISU 128 with the appropriate data rates.

Table 3-A

Maximum DTE Interface Cable Lengths

DTE Interface Max Cable Length

RS-530 50 feet

V.35 30 feet

EIA-232 15 feet

To prevent possible radio frequency interference emissions, a shielded V.35 cable is required.

DIAL INTERFACE CONNECTION

If out-of-band RS-366 dialing is required for applications such as videoconferencing or FAX machines, the dialing interface of the host DTE should be connected to the dial port marked RS-366/Maintenance. Pin assignments for the RS-366 connector are listed in the appendix Connector Pinouts.

12 ISU 128 User Manual 61202.029L2-1

MAINTENANCE INTERFACE

The Maintenance Interface is available at 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, asynchronous format, through the RS-366/Maintenance port. See the appendix Connector Pinouts for Maintenance port pin assignments. The VT 100 terminal or null modem can be connected to the RS-366/Maintenance port using an EIA-232 cable. This interface can be used to set internal S-registers, dial ISDN connections, and disconnect calls. This port also allows ADTRAN Technical Support personnel to retrieve vital information from the unit if a problem is encountered during initial configuration of the ISU 128. Most problems can be solved without resorting to this port for assistance.

In order to activate the Maintenance port, ensure the dial mode is either Front Panel or AT commands. When the dial mode is set for RS-366, the Maintenance port is disabled.

The Maintenance port cannot be used to pass data or to remotely configure another ISU 128 using the Cfg. Rmt. Unit option.

AT commands sent to the Maintenance port are not preceeded by "AT."

Loopback Remote

Loopback Remote allows the ISU 128 to issue a V.54 in-band loopback command to a far-end unit while still accepting data from the DTE connector. This provides bit error rate testing of an entire link using an external BERT test set. To use this feature, both units must be configured for Clear Channel operation and the far-end unit must be able to respond to V.54 loopback commands. See the chapter Protocol Options to configure the unit for Clear Channel operation. Press the Cancel key to end the test.

Loopback Remote 1B and 2B are only used with the DTE set to asynchronous.

Test Remote

Test Remote allows the ISU 128 to issue a V.54 in-band loopback command to a far-end unit and BERT the link using a built-in 2047 pattern generator/ checker. This allows for testing a circuit without any extra test equipment. To use this feature, both units must be configured for Clear Channel operation and the far-end unit must be able to respond to V.54 loopback commands. See the chapter Protocol Options to configure the unit for Clear Channel operation. The built-in 2047 pattern generator/checker displays the number of bytes transmitted on the top line and the number of errored bytes received on the lower line of the front panel display. Press 0 to clear the counts. By pressing the down arrow, you can loop down the far end unit and run a head to head 2047 pattern test. Press Cancel to end the test.

The ISU 128 responds to both DSU Latching Loopback commands (leased line mode only) and V.54 loopback commands.

The ISU must be optioned for Clear Channel operation for DSU Latching and V.54 loopback commands to take effect.

Near-End Block Errors/Far-End Block Errors (NEBE/FEBE)

NEBE/FEBE allows the user to determine the quality of the network connection by viewing the number of near-end (NEBE) and far-end (FEBE) block errors occurring on the ISDN interface. A large or incrementing count indicates problems with network equipment. An incrementing or large count of NEBEs indicates problems from the switch to the terminal adapter. An incrementing or large count of FEBEs indicates problems in the direction from the terminal adapter to the switch.

Switch Protocol

Find out what kind of ISDN switch your local CO is using by asking the telephone administrator or telephone company representative. Configure the ISU

128 for either a Northern Telecom DMS-100 conforming to the National ISDN-1 standard (usually an AT&T 5ESS, NTI DMS-100, or Siemens EWSD). In the Far East, configure for the NEC switch.

Figure 6-2

VT 100 Configuration Screen

, AT&T 5ESS® switch, or a switch

Call Type

The call type can be configured four different ways, depending on the type of service used: speech, audio, data 56 kbps, or data 64 kbps.

When placing outgoing calls using the optional V.34 modem, the unit must be optioned for either speech or audio call type.

Speech

Speech directs the call control software to request a Mu-law/A-law speech circuit as the bearer capability for outgoing calls. The Speech option is used with an ISDN line configured for voice service. In some areas voice service costs

24 ISU 128 User Manual 61202.029L2-1

less than data service. A Speech call type does not guarantee an end-to-end digital connection with some local and long distance carriers.

Audio

Audio directs the call control software to request a 3.1 kHz audio circuit as the bearer capability for outgoing calls. The Audio option is used with an ISDN line configured for voice service. In some areas audio service is less expensive than data service. Selecting an Audio call type guarantees a digital end-to-end ISDN connection.

Data 56 kbps

Data 56 kbps directs the call control software to request a 64 kbps data circuit that is rate-adapted to 56 kbps. Data 56 kbps is intended for use in circumstances where interoperability with Switched 56 service is desired.

Data 64 kbps (default)

The default Call type for ISDN service is Data 64 kbps. This directs the call control software to request an unrestricted 64 kbps circuit.

Terminal Identification

Chapter 6. Configuration

Terminal identification is assigned by the local telephone company and consists of a Service Profile Identifier (SPID) and Local Directory Number (LDN).

Setting the SPID

The SPID is a sequence of digits used to identify ISDN terminal equipment to the ISDN switch. The SPID is assigned by the local phone company when the ISDN line is installed and it usually looks similar to the phone number. Obtain SPIDs from the telephone administrator or local telephone representative.

The number of SPIDs required (0, 1, or 2) depends on how your ISDN line is configured. For instance, a point-to-point line has no SPID. Multipoint lines may have one or two SPIDs. The ISU 128 uses the presence of SPID 1 to determine if the line is multipoint. If the line has only one SPID, then it must be entered in SPID 1.

61202.029L2-1 ISU 128 User Manual 25

Chapter 6. Configuration

When selecting a SPID, use the Up and Down arrows to choose between SPID 1 and SPID 2. Press Enter to select the SPID and use the keypad to enter the SPID number. While entering/editing a SPID, the Down arrow allows ou to backspace through the number string to correct mistakes. The Up arrow scrolls back to the last digit entered. To cancel a number, use the Down arrow to backspace through it and press Enter. Press Enter after entering each SPID. To abort changes at any time, press Cancel.

Disconnect the network interface from the unit before initially entering and/or altering the SPIDs or LDNs.

Setting the LDN

This option allows the entry of 0, 1, or 2 LDNs. The LDN is used when placing or receiving BONDING calls. The LDN is the seven-digit local phone number assigned to the line.

When entering and LDN, use the Up and Down arrows to choose between LDN 1 and LDN 2. Press Enter to select the LDN and use the keypad to enter the LDN number. While entering/editing an LDN, the Down arrow allows you to backspace through the number string to correct mistakes. The Up arrow scrolls back to the last digit entered. To cancel a number, use the Down arrow to backspace through it and press Enter. Press Enter after entering each LDN. To abort changes at any time, press Cancel.

Dial options

The ISU 128 can be configured to dial using the Front Panel, RS-366 port, AT Commands, or V.25 bis Commands. Figure 6-4 illustrates the menu tree.

Front Panel

To establish and disconnect calls from the front panel keypad, configure Dial options for Front Panel. See the section Front Panel Dialing Options for more

detail.

RS-366

To establish and disconnect calls using the RS-366 parallel dialing port, configure the unit for RS-366 dialing. This enables the RS-366 port on the rear of the unit. Whenever this dialing mode is enabled, DTR must be active before a call is placed. The call may be disconnected by dropping DTR, or from the front panel by selecting the # (pound) key to go directly to the Dial menu and select- ing 1=Hang up line, then Enter.

DTE RS-366 dialers can end a string of dialed numbers in two different ways. The end of number (EON) alerts the ISU 128 that the entire number has been sent. Another method is to simply stop sending numbers and allow the ISU to time out, then dial the number. The ISU 128 supports both methods of dialed number terminations. The following options in Figure 6-4 allow for fine-tuning the dialed number termination.

Chapter 6. Configuration

1 sec or EON

The ISU 128 assumes the dial string is fully entered if more than one second elapses since the last digit was entered, or the unit receives the EON command.

2 sec or EON

The ISU 128 assumes the dial string is fully entered if more than two seconds elapse since the last digit was entered, or the unit receives the EON command.

5 sec or EON (default)

The ISU 128 assumes the dial string is fully entered if more than five seconds elapse since the last digit was entered, or the unit receives the EON command. This is the factory default setting.

10 sec or EON

The ISU 128 assumes the dial string is fully entered if more than 10 seconds elapse since the last digit was entered, or the unit receives the EON command.

20 sec or EON

The ISU 128 assumes the dial string is fully entered if more than 20 seconds elapse since the last digit was entered, or the unit receives the EON command.

Wait for EON

The ISU 128 assumes the dial string is fully entered only if the unit receives the EON command.

AT Commands

Configuring the ISU 128 for AT commands enables in-band dialing over the DTE interface using asynchronous AT commands. AT commands can be used to set up the ISU 128 as well as establish and end a call. Calls can be disconnected from the front panel (as previously described) or from the far-end unit.

When AT commands are selected, the DTE port becomes dual purpose. First, while a call is not established, the port accepts AT commands. During this time, the Carrier Detect (CD) signal is inactive. Second, when a call is established, the port is used for data. This data mode is indicated by the CD signal active. See the appendix AT Commands for a listing of the supported AT commands and their functions. In addition to the front panel, the ISU 128 can be configured and controlled with in-band AT commands from an asynchronous DTE port.

30 ISU 128 User Manual 61202.029L2-1

Chapter 6. Configuration

To exit the data mode and enter the command mode, the asynchronous DTE device must transmit a proper escape sequence to the ISU 128. A specified time delay must occur between the last data character and the first escape sequence character. This is the guard time delay, and it can be changed by writing a value to the S12 register. The default value for the guard time is one second. For a valid escape sequence to occur, the DTE must transmit the escape code character three times in succession with delay between each character being less than the guard time. The default escape sequence is +++.

Once the command mode is entered, AT commands can be transmitted to the ISU 128 to configure most of the options, dial remote DSUs, or initiate tests to check both the ISU 128 and the network connections. All command lines must begin with the AT character set in either capital or lower case letters and end with a terminating character. A command line can be terminated at any time by transmitting the Ctl-X (ASCII 018) after the AT attention code. The ISU 128 ignores this command line and issues an OK response.

The command line may contain a single command or a series of commands after the AT attention code. When a series of commands are used, the individual commands may be separated with spaces for readability. The maximum length for a command line is 40 characters. Each command line is executed by the ISU 128 upon receipt of a terminating character.

The default terminating character is a carriage return (ASCII 013), but it can be changed by writing a different value to register S3. Before the terminating character is transmitted, the command line can be edited by using the backspace character (ASCII 008) to erase errors so the proper commands can be entered. Examples of using AT commands are provided in this section.

Using AT Commands

Type AT followed by the letter of the command and numeric value of the setting desired and then press Enter. The following command returns the software version of the unit:

Using S-Registers

The configuration of the ISU 128 can be changed and/or reviewed with S-registers. See the appendix S-Register List for a description of each S-register and its corresponding range of values.

Dialing a Call Using the AT Command Processor

To dial a number using the DTE terminal and AT commands type ATD and the telephone number on one line and press Enter.

ATD5551212

When the dialing process begins, the front panel reads Dialing 5551212. If the call is successful, Connect is displayed on the front panel, followed by the rate adaption protocol in use and the bit rate. If the call is not successful, the front panel displays Disconnect followed by Ready. At this point the unit is ready for another call. The status buffer can be examined to find the reason for an unsuccessful call.

To end an active call with the AT command processor, press the break in key sequence (+++) or the redefined key, then type ATH and press Enter to hang up the line.

32 ISU 128 User Manual 61202.029L2-1

V.25 bis

Configuring the ISU 128 for V.25 bis (see Figure 6-5) enables in-band dialing over a DTE interface using asynchronous or synchronous V.25 bis commands. V.25 bis can be used to establish and end a call. Disconnecting calls can also be done from the front panel (as previously described) or from the far-end unit.

V.25 bis dialing is used primarily by DTE with synchronous interfaces (HDLC/SDLC or BSC/BISYNC) not supporting the AT command set, which is commonly used by asynchronous devices. The ISU 128 supports V.25 bis inband dialing in accordance with Fascicle VIII.I - V.25 bis (Malaga-Torremolinos 1984, Melbourne 1988).

Although V.25 bis allows asynchronous data format, asynchronous DTE is more likely to support the AT command set than V.25 bis.

V.25 SYNC HDLC Dialing

This setting provides V.25 bis messages in bit-synchronous format (for example HDLC, SDLC, X.25). The bit-synchronous format is the most commonly used by V.25 bis.

This option specifies that the characters should be 7-bit ASCII, with the 8th bit ignored (it may be either 0 or 1).

The first byte of each packet contains all ones (A = FF HEX), and the second byte of each packet (the C byte) is either 13 HEX or 03 HEX if not the final packet.

V.25 SYNC BISYNC Dialing

This setting allows for V.25 bis messages in byte synchronous format (BISYNC). V.25 bis specifies that the characters should be ASCII, 7 bits, and odd parity. This setting allows synchronous DTE which does not use HDLC to support serial in-band dialing.

V.25 HDLC FLAG

Configuring the ISU 128 for HDLC FLAG V.25 bis enables in-band dialing over a DTE interface using standard synchronous HDLC V.25 bis commands with 0x7E hex idle.

Disabled

This selection disables in-band dialing over the DTE interface.

Chapter 6. Configuration

Auto Answer

The ISU 128 auto answer parameter can be configured in one of three ways: Disabled, Enabled, or Dump all calls.

Disabled

When Disabled is selected, the ISU 128 will not automatically answer an incoming call. The AT answer command (ATA) must be issued to the ISU 128 before it accepts the incoming call. The ringing call can be dumped using the Hang up line command, or answered using the Answer Call command. These commands are listed under the Dial branch of the main tree. See the chapter Dial Options for more detail.

Enabled

When Enabled is selected, the incoming call is answered. If that call is a BONDING call and requires two B channels, the second call is answered. If the unit is configured for a call that uses only one B channel, such as 56 kbps or 64 kbps, the ISU 128 will not accept a second incoming call.

Dump all calls

When Dump all calls is selected, the ISU 128 will not accept any incoming calls. This keeps the line clear for outgoing calls.

Answer Tone

The Answer tone option (shown in Figure 6-9) enables the transmission of a modem answer tone at the start of voice and audio calls. The purpose of this tone is to disable echo suppression and echo cancelling on the circuit in order to get a clear digital circuit. This may be necessary on some long distance circuits.

Chapter 6. Configuration

The ISU 128 displays the Call ID for all dumped calls in the Status buffer. See the section Status Buffer for more information on the Status buffer.

Because different switches handle calls and Call ID differently, use the following procedure to determine if a seven or ten digit Call ID (phone number) should be stored:

1. Select Ansr if SN0. . .9 under Call Screening.

2. Store your seven digit number in SN0.

3. Place a call to the ISU 128 with the stored number to determine whether it

answers properly.

4. If the ISU 128 does not answer the call, look at the Call ID message in the

Status buffer. An explanation of Status buffer messages is located in the appendix Status Buffer Messages. More than likely, the Call ID number is a ten digit number

5. Reenter the number in SN0 as it is displayed in the Call ID message and

test Call Screening again.

Clock Mode:Slave/Master

By configuring the ISU 128 for Master timing, the ISU 128 can provide clocking for both ends of the phone line. This Master option is used at one end of a limited distance modem application, where two ISU 128 units are directly connected without the use of channel banks (see Figure 6-13). The far-end unit should be configured for Slave and it derives its clocking from the ISU 128 configured as Master.

Connector Type

The ISU 128 can provide an EIA-232, RS-530, or V.35 interface to a DTE by selecting the desired connector type.

RTS Options

Selecting 1 MS delay causes the Clear-to-Send (CTS) signal to change states 1 millisecond after the DTE Ready-to-Send (RTS) signal changes state. The 18 MS delay causes the CTS signal to change state 18 milliseconds after the DTE RTS signal changes state.

CTS Options

Selecting Forced CTS causes the CTS signal on the DTE connector to be continually asserted. Selecting Follows RTS causes the CTS signal to follow the state of the RTS lead.

CD Options

Selecting CD Forced on causes the carrier detect (CD) signal to always be asserted. Selecting Normal causes the CD signal to be asserted when a call has been successfully established. Selecting Off with LOCD causes the CD signal to be disasserted for a period of 5 seconds, then reasserted at the termination of a call. Selecting Off with Link Down causes the CD signal to be disasserted when the U-interface is not present.

Chapter 6. Configuration

DTR Options

Selecting Ignore DTR causes the ISU 128 to disregard the state of the data ter- minal ready (DTR) pin. Cmd when Off forces the unit into the AT command processor mode when DTR is not asserted. To return on-line, DTR must be asserted, followed by the AT0 command. Idle when Off forces the unit to end the current call when DTR is no longer asserted. Off>On dial #0 allows one call attempt to be automatically established when the DTR signal goes from inactive to active. While DTR is active, front panel dialing is also possible. When DTR goes inactive, any outgoing call present is disconnected. Off>On dial #0 uses the phone number in stored number register 0 to establish the call. To store a number for automatic dialing see the chapter Dialing Options. Selecting Dial #0 if On allows calls to be automatically established when the

61202.029L2-1 ISU 128 User Manual 43

Chapter 6. Configuration

DTR signal is in the active state. The unit attempts to establish a call using SN0 until the call is established or DTR goes inactive. Selecting Answer if On only allows the unit to answer an incoming call if the DTR signal is asserted. Dial/ Ans if On... allows the unit to dial Stored Number 0 or answer if DTR is asserted.

DSR Options

Selecting DSR forced on causes the Data Set Ready (DSR) signal on the DTE connector to always be asserted. Selecting OFF Idle+Test causes DSR to be disasserted if the network interface is in test or there is not an active call. OFF Link Down causes DSR to be disasserted if the network interface is disrupted.

Flow Control (Asynchronous Data Format)

Selecting Hardware Flow (as shown in Figure 6-17) causes the ISU 128 received data to be presented to the DTE interface only when RTS is asserted. Software Flow control uses Xon/Xoff to control data transferred between the DTE and the ISU 128. Selecting No Flow Ctrl disables flow control.

Selecting the Normal option causes the ISU 128 to be the synchronous DTE interface transmit timing source. Transmit data is timed from the transmit clock provided by the ISU 128 on the DTE connector. Normal clock is the normal mode of operation for the ISU 128.

With the External option selected, the ISU 128 slaves to an external transmit timing source. The external clock is provided to the ISU 128 by the external transmit clock signal at the DTE connector. This signal is echoed by the ISU 128 to the transmit clock signal on the DTE connector.

This option provides for situations where equipment connected to the ISU 128 DTE connector cannot slave to the ISU 128 provided clock. The ISU 128 uses the U-interface as the frequency standard when it must provide a synchronous receive or transmit clock. The externally provided clock must be of the same average frequency as the clock that the ISU 128 would provide if internal clock were selected. If this is not the case, then bit errors may occur.

The ISU 128 communicates with many different types of telecommunication equipment including other ISU 128s, ISDN terminal adapters, Switched 56 DSUs, BONDING-compatible inverse multiplexers, and V.34 (1202029L3 only) compatible analog modems. Communicating between such diverse types of equipment requires the use of various rate adaptation protocols to support various bit rates and DTE settings. Figure 7-1 illustrates the menu tree for setting protocol options. The ISU 128 supports the following rate adaptation protocols:

• Clear Channel (no rate adaption protocol)

• BONDING mode 1 (Bandwidth on Demand Interoperability Group)

• CCITT V.120

• CCITT V.110

See the section Recommended Operating Protocols and Table 1-B in Chapter 1 for more information on recommended modes of operation.

The desired protocol may be selected with AT commands at the DTE port or from the ISU 128 front panel. A description of each protocol follows.

Clear Channel

Clear Channel provides the entire bearer channel to the DTE without regard to data format or protocol. This provides a rate adaptation at or near the ISDN circuit rate. The primary usage for Clear Channel in the dial line mode is for 56 kbps and 64 kbps synchronous. It is useful when the DTE performs its own internal synchronous protocol/rate adaptation or the ISU 128 is calling a 4wire Switched 56 DSU. In the leased line mode, Clear Channel can provide synchronous bit rates of 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 112 kbps, and 128 kbps.

BONDING Mode 1

The BONDING mode 1 protocol allows the ISU 128 to communicate at bit rates in excess of 64 kbps to a maximum of 128 kbps. BONDING provides high-speed communication between ISU 128s, ISDN TE/TAs, and inverse multiplexing equipment supporting the BONDING protocol. The protocol allows use of both synchronous and asynchronous bit rates. When the ISU 128 uses the BONDING mode 1 protocol, it must make two separate ISDN phone calls to seize control of both ISDN bearer channels. The protocol corrects any delays existing between the two bearer channels and presents a single high speed data channel to the DTE. For successful high-speed operation, both the

near- and far-end DCE need to be configured to use the BONDING mode 1 protocol. Also, if the second B channel number is different from the first B channel, it is important that the 7-digit LDN is programmed in the answering unit. The BONDING mode 1 protocol negotiation phase has numerous timers to allow for transmission delays due to satellite hops, international calls, etc. The timers may be adjusted if necessary by entering into the BONDING mode 1 submenu. Figure 7-2 illustrates the menu path for setting the timers.

BONDING Mode 1 Protocol Menu Tree

The timers are defined as follows:

TXINIT

This option specifies the length of time the originating endpoint attempts to detect the BONDING negotiation pattern from the answering endpoint before deciding the BONDING call has failed. In general, this timer value should be left at the factory default setting of 10 seconds. Values of 1, 2, 5, 10 (default), 20, 50, 100, and 200 seconds may be selected.

TXFA

This option specifies the length of time both endpoints attempt to detect the BONDING frame pattern when a call is connected before deciding the BONDING call has failed. This timer value should be left at the factory default setting of 10 seconds. However, when interoperating with other manufacturers’ BONDING equipment, it may be necessary to lengthen this timer so that it matches TXADD01. Values of 1, 2, 5, 10 (default), 20, 50, 100, and 200 seconds may be selected.

61202.029L2-1 ISU 128 User Manual 49

Chapter 7. Protocol Options

TXADD01

This option specifies the length of time both endpoints wait for the additional call to be connected at the end of negotiation before deciding the BONDING call has failed. The factory default setting of 20 seconds will be sufficient for most calls to go through, although when dialing overseas it may be necessary to lengthen this timer to allow for slower call routing. Values of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 (default), 100, and 200 seconds may be selected.

TXDEQ

This option specifies the length of time both endpoints attempt to equalize the network delay between the bearer channels before deciding the BONDING call has failed. The default setting is 50 seconds. Values of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 (default), 100, and 200 seconds may be selected.

TANULL

This option specifies the length of time the answering endpoint attempts to detect the BONDING negotiation pattern from the originating endpoint before aborting to clear channel mode. In general, this timer value should be left at the factory default setting of 10 seconds. However, it may be necessary to shorten this timer, if the DTE equipment connected to the ISU also has timer constraints for completing non-BONDING parameter negotiation. Values of 1, 2, 5, 10 (default), 20, 50, 100, and 200 seconds may be selected.

TCID

This option specifies the length of time both endpoints attempt to negotiate an agreeable value for bearer channels and channel capacities before deciding the BONDING call has failed. This timer default setting is 5 seconds. Values of 1, 2, 5 (default), 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 seconds may be selected.

V.120

The V.120 protocol is a CCITT compliant rate adaption method which provides DTE service between the ISU 128 and other V.120 compliant devices at rates less than the 64 kbps ISDN bearer channel rate. V.120 supports synchronous and asynchronous DTE rates. See the section Recommended Operating Modes and Table 1-B in Chapter 1 for available V.120 rates. Figure 7-2 illustrates the menu path for selecting V.120.

V.34

Chapter 7. Protocol Options

The V.110 protocol is a CCITT compliant rate adaption method which provides DTE service between the ISU 128 and other V.110 compliant devices. V.110 supports synchronous and asynchronous DTE rates. See the section Recommended Operating Modes and Table 1-B in Chapter 1 for available V.110 rates. Figure 7-2 illustrates the menu path for selecting V.110.

The V.34 protocol allows the ISU to originate and receive calls to analog modems on POTS lines. The V.34 modem only supports asynchronous DTE rates. To place an outgoing call to an analog modem, the call type must be changed to Audio. See Call Type in Chapter 6 to change call types. Figure 7-3 illustrated the menu path for selecting the V.34 modem operational parameters.

The ISU 128 with optional V.34 modem (part number 1202029L3) must be used for operation of this protocol.

Error Control

This option sets the type of error control to be negotiated with the far-end modem during train-up. Normal turns all error control off and makes allowances for flow control. Reliable MNP uses MNP error control. If the far end does not support MNP then the call is terminated. When Auto-Rel MNP is selected, the ISU 128 attempts to use MNP error control. If the far end does not use MNP then normal operation is used. Force LAPM allows only LAPM (V.42) error corrected calls to connect. Force MNP allows only MNP error corrected calls to connect.

DSU 57.6 ASYNC

The DSU 57.6 ASYNC or DSTOP protocol allows the ISU 128 to communicate asynchronously at 57.6 kbps with ADTRAN 2- and 4-wire Switched 56 DSU products. In addition, the ISU 128 will communicate with other ISUs over dial and leased connections using this protocol. Figure 7-1 illustrates the menu path for setting the DSU 57.6 ASYNC protocol.

T-Link

The T-Link protocol allows the ISU 128 to communicate with 2-wire Switched 56 DataPath Data Units (DUs) such as the ADTRAN DSU III 52W. The T-Link protocol performs two functions:

• The T-link protocol adapts DTE data subrates of 64 kbps to the 64 kbps bandwidth of the ISDN bearer channel.

• For asynchronous and synchronous DTE rates up to 19.2 kbps, T-Link transmits the status of the DCE-DTE EIA leads to facilitate flow control and maintenance.

Chapter 7. Protocol Options

In addition to 2-wire Switched 56 DataPath DUs, the ISU 128 can communicate with any other device that uses the T-Link protocol. Figure 7-1 shows the menu path for selecting T-Link.

Simple ADTRAN Protocol (SAP)

Simple ADTRAN Protocol (SAP) is a rate adaption method providing DTE service between ISU 128 units at a sub 64 kbps ISDN bearer channel rate. Selecting this menu item causes the ISU 128 to use SAP protocol.

The primary usage for SAP is general purpose asynchronous rate adaption in a dial-up or leased environment. SAP only operates on a 64 kbps data link. See Figure 7-2 for the menu path to select SAP.

FALLBACK

The FALLBACK asynchronous rate adaption protocol provides the capability to automatically establish calls with other ISDN terminal adapters, Switched 56 DSUs, V.34 modems (optional), as well as other ISUs using a single configuration. To communicate with analog modems, the ISU 128 with V.34 modem option (part numbers 1202029L3) must be used.

The ISU 128 must be optioned as follows for FALLBACK operation:

• Any asynchronous bit rate up to 115.2 kbps which is supported by the DTE.

• Flow control must be enabled and supported by the DTE.

FALLBACK supports the following protocols based on the call type: BONDING Mode 1, V.120, T-Link, and V.34.

When answering calls, the ISU 128 uses the incoming call type to determine which rate adaption protocols to support. See Table 7-A for the call type and the supported rate adaption protocols.

Chapter 7. Protocol Options

When originating calls to unknown units, the ISU begins protocol selection based on the local call type. Data 64k is used for FALLBACK selected from Quick Setup menu. Upon connection at 64k call type, BONDING, V.120, and PPP are attempted. If connection is not made at 64k, the ISU 128 attempts another call at 56k call type. If connection is made at 56k, then V.120, T-Link, and PPP are attempted. If connection is not made at 56k, then an audio call type is attempted, provided the ISU 128 with the V.34 modem option is used. If the ISU connects the audio call type, the V.34 protocol is attempted for V.34 compatible modems. Once a call connects, if the protocol cannot be negotiated, the protocol is negotiated as specified by S11 register (default is DSTOP). If this protocol fails, the call is disconnected.

If FALLBACK fails to determine which protocol is running, the user has the option to select which protocol will run. Figure 7-6 illustrates the FALLBACK default settings.

Point-to-Point (PPP) Async-to-Sync

PPP provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. The ADTRAN PPP async-sync protocol allows the ISU 128 and a PC or Macintosh® running PPP software, to communicate with a PPP-compatible bridge or router. The PPP async-sync protocol complies with Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 1662. The menu path to select PPP is shown in Figure 7-7.

The asynchronous control character map (ACCM) option is scanned during the negotiation. When the ACCM option is seen in a configure ACK link control packet, it is adopted by the ISU 128. In addition, when the ACCM option is not seen in the configure-request packet from the network, the ISU 128 adds it to the packet.

Chapter 7. Protocol Options

The ISU 128 is configured for multilink PPP from the protocol options of the configuration menu by selecting 2=Multilink PPP or by setting S-register S27 to a value of 1. In this mode, the ISU 128 dials a second number to establish a second point-to-point link. Once the second link is established, multilink PPP is performed over both B-channels.

The phone number for the second call should be placed in stored number 1 (SN1). If no number is stored in SN1, the same phone number is dialed to establish the second link.

PPP with Compression

The ISU 128 is configured for PPP with compression from the protocol options of the the configuration menu by selecting 3=PPP w/Comp or by setting S-register S27 to a value of 2.

When setup for PPP with compression, the ISU 128 will negotiate the compression control protocol (CCP) with the network PPP peer. If STAC™ compression is successfully negotiated with the peer, data packets from the DTE are compressed before being sent out through the network. Likewise, compressed packets from the network are decompressed before being transmitted through the DTE.
