Description
The QDFR is a customer premise fiber optic access unit. The QDFR is designed to provide four
T1 interfaces that can be multiplexed together over a single mode fiber optic cable to a Total
Access 3000 Quad Fiber Central Office (QDFC) Module (P/N 1181308L7).
The QDFR is specifically designed to provide a high degree of resistance to damage typically
caused by Ground Potential Rises (GPRs). This is accomplished by having the network
interface optically isolated from the customer side and the DS-1 interfaces having over 6
kilovolts of isolation with respect to ground. The QDFR is virtually immune to the effects of
GPRs compared to other network interface equipment.

SUBJECT TO ELECTROSTATIC DAMAGE
OR DECREASE IN RELIABILITY.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED.
After unpacking the QDFR, inspect it for damage. If damage has occurred, file a claim with the
carrier then contact ADTRAN Customer Service. Refer to “Appendix C, Warranty” for further
information. If possible, keep the original shipping container for returning the QDFR for repair
or for verification of shipping damage.

• Quad Fiber Remote (QDFR) Unit Job Aid (P/N 61181307L7-22)
CAUTION
Electronic modules can be damaged by ESD. When handling modules, wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to
electronic components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When working on modules,
always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically
grounded.
Installing the QDFR
To install the QDFR, perform the following steps:
1. Place the unit in a location where a DC power source is available. This unit operates
within a voltage range of –24 VDC to –48 VDC.
2. Using the hex nut and lock washer supplied with the QDFR, attach a grounding strap to
the grounding lug on the left side of the QDFR chassis. Finger-tighten only.
3. Conned power to the QDFR by connecting the plus (+), minus (–), and ground wires to a
three-position terminal block located at the left of the backplane (Figure 2). The DS1 loop
connections are made through four RJ-48C type connectors. Single-mode fiber is
connected to the SC-type connector located at the right of the backplane.
When the QDFR first powers up, the unit initializes a self test that lasts for approximately 30
seconds. After the self test is completed, the LEDs reflect the current status of the unit.
Front Panel LEDs
The QDFR provides front panel LEDs to display status information for the unit. Table 2 lists
the front panel LEDs and their indications.

Loop Connections
T
LOOP CONNECTIONS
The T1 loop connections are made through four RJ-48C type connectors. For each connector,
transmit tip and ring are on pins 5 and 4, and receive tip and ring are on pins 2 and 1, respectively. The single-mode fiber is connected to the SC connector located on the back panel of the
unit.
OPERATION
The Quad Fiber Remote (QDFR) Unit provides a platform to exchange data between four Tls
and an optical fiber interface. The customer data connection is via the RJ-48C connectors on
the unit. An optical fiber interface is provided for communication with the loop. The Quad
Fiber Remote (QDFR) Unit operates with a QDFC module at the other end of the fiber optic
cable. The figure below illustrates the pin-out configuration for the RJ-48C connectors.

Menu Structure
MENU STRUCTURE
The menu structure for the QDFR is a layered menu tree. Each layer of the menu tree is
displayed as a menu or a screen.
Menu
A menu is a display that provides numbered selections that are used to navigate to related
menus, modify provisioning information, or display information screens. A menu can contain
the following objects:
• Menu Option: A menu option is indicated by a number, which when selected navigates the
display to another menu layer or is used to change the option setting.
• Read-only Field: A read-only field displays information that cannot be changed. The
information displayed in a read-only field can be static or can be automatically updated by
the QDFR.
• Read-write Field: A read-write field displays information that when selected can be
modified.
• Hot Key: A hot key is a key or combination of keys that are assigned to a function. Hot keys
are indicated by the required key(s) and a brief description (i.e., N - Next Channel).
Screen
A screen is a display that usually indicates the end of a menu tree path. A screen can contain
the following objects:
• Read-only Field: A read-only field displays information that cannot be changed. The
information displayed in a read-only field can be static or can be automatically updated by
the QDFR.
• Read-write Field: A read-write field displays information that when selected can be
modified.
• Hot Key: A hot key is a key or combination of keys that are assigned to a function. Hot keys
are indicated by the required key(s) and a brief description (i.e., N - Next Channel).
MENU NAVIGATION
Basic menu navigation is accomplished by selecting the desired option number and then
pressing
ENTER. To return to the previous menu, press the ESC (escape) key.
