2.DESCRIPTION
HDSL4 provides extended range T1 (DS1) transport on the telecommunications network. HDSL4 features spectral
compatibility with ADSL and other transport technologies.
The T200 H4R performs signal regeneration to extend the range of the HDSL4 circuit.
The H4TU-C (Central Office Transceiver) unit receives DSX-1 input signals from the network through the chassis,
transports them across the HDSL4 circuit, and terminates them through an H4TU-R remote unit which provides a
traditional DS1 signal to customer equipment. The H4TU-C provides testing, provisioning, and performance
monitoring capabilities that address circuit status.
An ADTRAN HDSL4 loop may consist of an H4TU-C, an H4TU-R, and up to three H4Rs.
Features
The basic features of the T200 H4R, include the following:
• TC PAM line coding
• Lightning protection
• In-band loopback control
• Standard Type 200 or Type 400 form factor repeater apparatus case design
• Remote provisioning and pass-through performance monitoring
• Bad Splice Detection
• Fast Retrain
Bad Splice Detection Feature
The T200 H4R supports the Runtime TScan 2.0
TM
bad splice detection feature, an ADTRAN proprietary non-intru-
sive algorithm for detection of anomalies (bad splices) in the copper pair.
Data transmission transceivers (especially echo-cancelled technologies) are subject to performance degradations
and errors in the presence of bad splices. A splice may be benign for a period of time, allowing a circuit to behave
appropriately for portions of the day. However, over time the splice will oxidize and incur small, rapid changes in
impedance. This inconsistency in behavior makes the problem difficult to locate. Additionally, an impedance
change that is large enough to cause the transceiver trouble may still be small enough to be undetected by test
equipment utilized on the copper pairs. Therefore a non-intrusive method of identifying these bad splices has been
developed to aid the customer in troubleshooting their distribution plant.
NOTE
The Splice Detection Feature is included with this product as an aid to troubleshooting. Due to inconsistency in environmental conditions and their effect on
telecommunications plant, ADTRAN cannot guarantee the accuracy of the
measurements. Comparison to existing engineering drawings should provide exact
locations of suspect splices indicated by ADTRAN algorithms.
Splices that are varying in impedance will cause the HDSL data pump to see a reduced and/or fluctuating signal
quality (margin). The HDSL data pump will attempt to track these changes. When the changes become too severe,
errors or loss of synchronization result.

View Splice Results Screen
The Bad Splice Detection feature is accessed from the Troubleshooting screen via the craft access terminal of the
H4TU-C or H4TU-R. Selecting the V iew Splice Results option from the T roubleshooting screen menu displays the
screen illustrated in Figure 2. Results will be reported in the Splice Detection Results column for each transceiver:
• NTF - Reported if the unit is active and no problems have been detected or the number of anomalies detected
have not yet reached the detection count threshold, which facilitates the reporting of the result to this screen.
(Eight is the present threshold.)
• LOS - Reported if the remote unit has not been detected.
• Number - Reported if an anomaly has been detected a number of times that exceeds the detection count threshold
of eight. The number shown in this column represents the number of feet from the transceiver (Reference Point)
to that anomaly. This number will also reflect the highest anomaly count se en, as it is possible to have more than
one bad splice per circuit. This screen will report the worst (most frequently detected) anomaly.
In this example, a detection has occurred approximately 650 feet from an H4TU-C module on Loop 2 of the
HDSL4 circuit.

Fast Retrain is an ADTRAN proprietary feature whose intent is to minimize downtime when an intermittent non
power-related impairment (bad splice, noise burst, etc.) affects the HDSL loop and cannot be bridged.
HDSL2 and HDSL4 transceivers normally train in approximately 25 to 30 seconds. For an initial circuit turn-up,
this is not a big issue. However, once service has been established on the circuit, any lar ge down-time will interrupt
communications on the circuit. A loss of synchronization on the HDSL loop can cause excessive down times due
not only to the 30-second HDSL retrain time, but also further delays due to the higher level protocols in the
network going through re-synchronization. On the older generation HDSL2 and HDSL4 units, a 1-second loss of
HDSL frame synchronization would cause the data pumps to retrain. This retrain would take approximately 25
seconds during which AIS would be sent to the terminating equipment. The reception of AIS by the terminating
equipment then might trigger higher level protocol re-synchronizations.
61223441L1-5C 3
DescriptionT200 H4R Installation and Maintenance Practice
In an effort to minimize this down time, the Fast Retrain feature has been implemented. If an impairment (bad
splice, for example) causes the HDSL data pump to lose frame synchronization for 500 msec or longer, instead of
retraining, a fast retrain will be attempted. This abbreviated train can achieve data mode in 5 to 7 seconds. A
successful fast retrain should be evident by watching the Span Status screen and by reduced unavailable seconds
(UAS) in the PM data for each LOS alarm recorded.
NOTE
Fast-Retrain capable units must be installed on both ends of the HDSL4 circuit for
this feature to function properly. Also, if there is a failure of a fast retrain attempt,
for any reason, then the traditional (25-30 second) retrain will be initiated.
Compatibility
The T200 H4R is used in conjunction with any T1.418 compliant span powering H4TU-C and an H4TU-R.
Compatible ADTRAN HDSL4 transceiver units are listed in Table 1.

x = any generic number; y = any list number
Due to span power limits, the number of H4Rs permitted in the circuit depends upon the type of H4TU-C utilized.
An ADTRAN T200 H4R provides DS1 transport on all revised resistance design (RRD) 26 AWG and/or 24 AWG
loops. Three ADTRAN T200 H4R repeaters may be added to extend the range of a loop.
Repeater placement is determined by the following criteria:
• On single H4R loops, only on the attenuation properties of the loop segment must be considered.
• For a circuit requiring two H4Rs, both segment attenuation as well as segment DC resistance requirements be
satisfied.
• For a circuit requiring three H4Rs, H4TU-C and H4TU-R hardware requirements, segment attenuation, and
segment DC resistance requirements must all be satisfied.
Refer to the “HDSL4 Deployment Guidelines” section of this practice and the deployed H4TU-C.
