1. GENERAL
This practice provides installation and maintenance
information for the ADTRAN
SLC-5 U-BR1TE III w/
PWR and DDS Loopbacks (U-BR1TE III). Figure 1
is an illustration of the unit. The 1102040L4 is a
direct replacement and fully compatible with the
previous ADTRAN SLC-5 U-BR1TEs, including the
1100040L1, 1100040L3, 1102040L2, and the
1102040L1.
ISDN/DDS
The U-BR1TE III employs features for both ISDN and
DDS transport. ISDN comprises the major
functionality and is described in this section.
A description of DDS functionality is located in
Section 3.
Revision History
This document has been revised to correct switch
SW1-5 function described in Table 2.
Figure 1. ADTRAN SLC-5 U-BR1TE III
Functional Description
The U-BR1TE III is a channel unit for use in the
AT&T® SLC Series 5 and Series 2000 Digital Loop
Carrier Systems. The SLC-5 U-BR1TE III w/PWR
and DDS Loopbacks combines the functionality of a
standard SLC-5 U-BR1TE III and a U-Repeater
Powering Module which will simplify the installation
of the U-Repeater when deployed from a Digital Loop
Carrier (DLC) facility. Span powering also allows
deployment of 2-wire DDS when an IDSL OCU-R is
used to terminate the ISDN local loop. This eliminates
the need to provide AC power at the customer premises.
The U-BR1TE III can be used in SLC-5 Central
Office Terminal (COT) deployed as Feature Package
C (FPC), and SLC-5 Remote Terminals (RT)
deployed as Feature Package C without Autocut
(FPC/AC) and Feature Package B. The U-BR1TE III
will also operate in SLC-2000 COTs and RTs when
deployed as SLC Mode 1. Clear Channel capability
(B8ZS) is not required of the T1 facility if zero byte
substitution (ZBS) is enabled on the U-BR1TE III.
The U-BR1TE III plugs into a single physical slot of
the channel bank. Three time slots are required for

transport of 2B+D information. Block error rate
performance over the T1 facility is monitored and is
available to the network.
The SLC-5 U-BR1TE III incorporates a feature that
allows for detection of ISDN capable and non-ISDN
capable SLC-5 Bank Controller Units (BCU). In
addition, the unit will facilitate communications to the
non-ISDN capable BCU for the time slots associated
with the adjacent physical slot, eliminating the need
for the NULL Channel Unit, P/N 1200102L1 in the
non-ISDN SLC-5 terminals. Earlier versions of the
SLC-5 BCU will not recognize an ISDN channel unit
ID, and will not assign the required time slots of the
next physical position for 2B+D operation. For
previous versions of the SLC-5 U-BR1TE, a NULL
Channel Unit, which communicates to the non-ISDN
capable BCU, is required to reserve the associated
time slots for 2B+D service.
• Loopback release in response to TIPs generated
from the network direction per TR62310.
• Remap all subsequent DS0 DP loopback codes
into respective eoc loopbacks to loopback
respective downstream U-Repeaters, TRISDN
elements, and U-BR1TES when optioned for
1B+D, or 2B+D.
• Pass OCU loopback code through to loop the
IDSL OCU-R.
• Pass CSU loopback code through to loop the
CSU/DSU and simultaneously send a remap to
the NT1 eoc address.
• Transmit “Mux out of Sync” (MOS) upstream in
B1 during DSL loop open, loss of signal, or loss
of sync condition.
• Returns Abnormal Station Code (ASC) to the
network in B1 during loopback conditions
initiated by the IDSL OCU-R.
By automatically determining the version and
requesting the necessary time slots for the non-ISDN
capable BCUs, the U-BR1TE III eliminates the
confusion regarding 2B+D deployment, and the
requirement of deploying the NULL Cards. The
U-BR1TE III will operate properly when a NULL
Card is installed in the adjacent physical slot, as in a
replacement situation.
Features
U-BR1TE III features support both ISDN and DDS,
plus features common to both as listed here:
ISDN Features:
• Span powers U-repeaters with 43 mA @ -28 to
-120 Vdc for ISDN applications.
• Provides for the transport of ISDN Basic Rate
2B+D information over T1 facilities in the 3-DS0
format specified in TR-NWT-000397.
• NULL card not required with non-ISDN BCUs.
• B1 or B2 loopback addressability at the faceplate
for the NT1 and up to six devices in the
Network-to-Customer direction.
• Compatible with MLT 3.0/ISDN per
TR-NWT-000397, Issue 3, December 1993.
DDS Features:
• Span powers an IDSL OCU-R with 12 mA @ -120
Vdc for DDS applications.
• Perform bidirectional loopback (loop and
network) when commanded into DS0 DP
loopback from the network direction only.
Common Features:
• ISDN 2B+D interface which meets all Layer 1
requirements as specified in ANSI T1.601-1992.
• 18 kft nominal range on mixed gauge wire (42
dB @ 40 kHz loop loss, 1300 Ω DC resistance
design).
• All Layer 1 maintenance functions.
• Performance monitoring of the Layer 1 facility as
specified in TR-NWT-000397.
• A distinctive metallic DC test signature to
identify either Line Unit Loop Termination
(LULT) or Line Unit Network Termination
(LUNT) mode of operation as specified in
TR-NWT-000397.
• DS0 logic level transmit and receive data access
through the front panel RJ-45 jack.
• Loop, carrier, and synchronization status
available at the front panel.
• Compatible with AT&T SLC-2000, SLC Mode 1.
• Compliant with TR-TSY-829, TR-TSY-1089,
FCC Part 15, Class A, and UL-1459.
ADTRAN has obtained the necessary licenses that
grant the right to develop a SLC-5 U-BR1TE III. The
ADTRAN U-BR1TE III replaces the AT&T AU92
(COT) and AU93 (RT) BR1TE channel units. The
U-BR1TE III (TR 397 compliant) will not function
with the AT&T BR1TE channel units across the T1
carrier facilities. The U-BR1TE III must be terminated
across the T1 carrier facilities with another channel
unit that meets TR 397.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED.
!
After unpacking the unit, inspect it for damage. If
damage is noted, file a claim with the carrier, then
contact ADTRAN. See Warranty and CustomerService.
To install the U-BR1TE III, hold the unit by the front
panel and insert it into the assigned slot until the edge
connector is firmly seated in the backplane. The ACT
LED on the U-BR1TE III should illuminate GREEN.
The CR and LP LEDs will flash GREEN then
illuminate AMBER. At this point, push the unit latch
upward until it locks into place.
NOTE
During installation rotary switch SW3 can be in
any position except 7 (LPBK). LPBK is reserved
for special testing functions.
SLC-5
The U-BR1TE III plugs into a single SLC-5 channel
slot. Because two time slots are assigned to each
physical slot in a SLC-5 channel bank, and a U-BR1TE
III provisioned as 2B+D requires three time slots,
there are restrictions that apply to the physical
placement of the U-BR1TE III in the channel bank.
Each SLC-5 digroup consists of 12 physical slots,
which can be divided into four groups of three slots
each (physical slots 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12). These
tri-slot groups are used to define the slot restrictions
for the U-BR1TE III as follows (see Figure 2):

Examples
SLC 2000
The U-BR1TE III operates in all SLC-2000 COT and
RT shelves and can be used in combination with any
mix of other SLC-2000 channel units. Currently, the
unit will not operate in a mode 2 shelf. All option
information for SLC-2000 channel units is entered
using the SLC-2000 Craft Interface Terminal (CIT)
and stored in the controller’s nonvolatile system
memory. Once a slot is provisioned, it does not need
to be provisioned again unless a different channel unit
is installed in that slot.
Table 1 lists the options to set for the U-BR1TE III.
The service provisioned should match the switch
settings or the unit may not operate properly.

slot to the immediate right of a U-BR1TE III
provisioned as 2B+D within a tri-slot group.

NOTE
When the U-BR1TE III is optioned for B1 or B2,
the SLC-2000 slot must be provisioned for D
only. If the U-BR1TE III is optioned for 2B,
then the SLC-2000 slot must be provisioned for
B1+D.
Physical Requirements
The U-BR1TE III occupies one physical slot in the
SLC-5 or SLC-2000 channel bank. The backplane pin
assignments are illustrated in Figure 3.
Interface Requirements
The U-BR1TE III unit includes two interfaces. The
loop-side interface is an ISDN U-interface which is
used to deliver Basic Rate service. The carrier-side
interface is a SLC-5 or SLC-2000 channel bank
interface which is used to insert data into the 1.544
Mbps T1 stream. Only the polarity insensitive Tip
and Ring leads are used in the cross-connection.
Switch Option Settings
See Figure 1 and Figure 4 for SW1 and SW2 location.
The options for SW1 and SW2 are described in
