General Description

The TA 850 BCU is a common module plug-in unit designed for the TA 850. The BCU, with a built-in CSU, provides all control functions for the TA 850 common units and all individual access modules. A faceplate ADMIN DB-9 provides access for a VT100 terminal for screen menu provisioning, and bantam test jacks provide transmit and receive monitoring. An additional TEST DB-9 provides timing for DS0 test equipment. A network LED shows status information for the network T1. The unit comprises a main circuit board and daughter card and inserts directly into the BCU slot on the TA 850 shelf. An 8-position DIP switch is mounted on the daughter card and is used for T1 provisioning and clocking.

Functional Description

The TA 850 BCU provisions, operates, monitors, and tests all TA 850 access modules including Quad FXS, Quad FXO, OCU DP, DS0 DP, and Nx56/64 DSU DP. The BCU programs T1 bandwidth use between the various access modules and data ports.

2. INSTALLATION/OPERATION

After unpacking the unit, inspect it for damage. If damage is noted, file a claim with the carrier, then notify ADTRAN Customer Service (see “WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE” on page 5).

The TA 850 BCU plugs directly into the controller slot in the common module area of the TA 850 chassis. To insert, hold the unit by the faceplate while supporting the bottom side. Align the card edges to the guide grooves for the designated slot. Insert into the chassis until the edge connector seats firmly into the backplane. Lock the unit in place by pushing in on the locking lever.

CAUTION

This product is intended for installation in Restricted Access Locations only and is intended to be installed in equipment with a Type "B" or "E" installation code.

3. OPTIONS

The TA 850 BCU can be provisioned from either an 8-position Dual In-line Package (DIP) switch (S1) mounted on the PCB, or through screen menus accessed via the faceplate craft interface port. Basic T1 provisioning, clock source, and CSU loopback options are found on the DIP switch. Refer to Table 3 on page 4 for DIP switch S1 pro- visioning information. Additional and more in-depth provisioning options for the BCU as well as access modules are available through the craft ADMIN interface.

DIP switch S1 must be provisioned while the BCU is withdrawn from the chassis. Once installed, any software provisioning made will override the DIP switch settings. If the unit is withdrawn and reinserted (power cycled), the software options remain in effect. If a DIP switch setting is changed while withdrawn, the new DIP switch setting takes effect. If none of the DIP switch settings were changed, the unit will be provisioned for the last software settings.

Electronic Provisioning

The ADMIN interface on the TA 850 BCU is used to change factory selected options and obtain access module status through menu screens. To access the menu screens, connect a VT 100 terminal or computer running a terminal emulation program to the craft interface port using a standard male-to-male RS-232 DB-9 cable. Craft port settings are as follows:

• 9600 Baud

•No parity

•8 Data bits

•1 Stop bit

CAUTION

The BCU retains provisioning setup when removed from the chassis. If inserted into another chassis, the provisioning setup is invoked on that chassis' access modules.

Windows Hyperterminal. Windows Hyperterminal

can be used as a VT 100 terminal emulation program. Open Hyperterminal by selecting PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / HYPERTERMINAL. Refer to the Help section of Hyperterminal for additional questions.

NOTE

To ensure proper display background in Windows Hyperterminal, select VT 100 terminal emulation under SETTINGS.

Password. When connected, enter the password. The

factory default is PASSWORD in all capital letters. The password can be changed to a user selected password once connected.

Menu Navigation. To traverse through the menus, se-

lect the desired entry and press Enter. To work backwards in the menu, press the Esc (escape) key.

Time Slot Assignment (Plug and Play Environment). The TA 850 can support a plug and play envi-

ronment for slots 1-6 of the TA 850 bank for the various access modules (i.e., FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP, UBRITE, E&M, etc.). Each card that is plugged in to slots 1-6 will consecutively take 4 Time Slots automatically when installed in the TA 850 bank, depending on the card that is plugged into the shelf.

Time Slot Assignment - Software Assignment (Non-Plug and Play Environment). Slots 1-6 of the TA

850 Bank are for the various access modules supported by the the TA 850 (i.e., FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP, UBRITE, E&M, etc.). The T1 interface on the TA 850 BCU supports 24 Time Slot Assignment which can be allocated to the access modules, to the DSX-1, or to the Nx64 module. The TA 850 BCU can override the plug and play assignments through the software menus via the ADMIN port on the TA 850 BCU.

Faceplate TEST connector

The faceplate DB-9 female TEST connector provides the necessary clock output required by standard DSO Logic Test equipment such as a TPI 108/109 test set. Specifically, the TEST connector outputs 8 kHz and 64 kHz clock reference signal. Figure 3 on page 5 illustrates the DB-9 TEST connector.

Table 1. Pinout Connectors for RJ-48 T1 Interface

Connections

All TA 850 BCU connections are made through the backplane connector. With the exception of power and the V.35 connector, all of the TA 850 rear panel connectors terminate on the BCU. These include Network T1, Clock source, Alarms, Fractional T1, and Management. Refer to the TA 850 System Installation and Maintenance Practice, part number 64200376L1- 5A, for additional information on rear panel connections. Table 1 describes the T1 pinout connections.

Faceplate LED

The faceplate Network LED labeled T1 Network provides status information for the network T1 using a color coded message format. Refer to Table 2.

4. TESTING

The TA 850 BCU provides a variety of test options for both the Network T1 and DS0 access modules. The faceplate of the BCU provides a bantam jack for local T1 test access. DS0 test access for the digital access modules (OCU DP, DS0 DP, U-BR1TE) is provided via bantam jacks on the faceplate of each unit.

Faceplate Bantam Jack

The faceplate bantam jack provides a means to monitor the network T1 connected to the rear of the TA 850 chassis. The jacks accept standard 310-type bantam plugs.
