MT1100A, MT1100A-DC, MT1100C, MT1101A, MT1101A-DC, MT1102A,
MT1102A-DC, MT1102C are interface converters. They convert unframed HDB3,
AMI or B8ZS data of ITU G.703 E1/T1 balanced or unbalanced interface into a
V.35 or RS-530 DTE interface.
The units operate at 1544 kbps or 2048 kbps. It extracts data and the clock from
the G.703 interface via a jitter attenuator to meet ITU G.823 requirements.
RIC-E1 acts as a line transceiver. It provides protection from over-voltage and
over-current stress caused by lightning, power crosses and other noise sources.
The following versions of the converters are available:

Troubleshooting and
Diagnostics
4.1 Performing Local Analog Loopback
E1/T1 rate converters support activation of a V.54 diagnostic (loop 3) local
loopback.
This loopback checks the communication and connection between the unit and
the attached DTE, as shown in Figure 4-1. When converter performs a local
loopback, the data received from the local transmitter is both transmitted on the
line and looped back to the local receiver at the digital level. This checks the
operation of all local digital circuitry.

MT1100C, MT1102C Cards
This chapter describes the card version of the T1 converter, designed for
installation in the Rack Nest 2/14 card cage. The chapter contains the following
sections:
• The Rack Nest 2/14 card cage
• MT1100C, MT1102C cards
• Power supply to the cards
• Installing the cards.
5.1 Rack Nest 2/14 Card Cage
The Rack Nest 2/14 card cage contains one or two power supplies and up to
14 plug-in cards.
For each of the 14 cards, the rear panel contains a male connector for the terminal
block and a DB-25 connector. A protection cover protects the terminal block
connectors.
Line Connector
The line is to be attached to the rear panel terminal block connectors. It contains
screws for connecting the transmit and receive pairs and ground, if present.
The Rack Nest 2/14 is also available with BNC coaxial unbalanced or RJ-45
balanced line connectors.

Rack Nest 2/14 Card Cage 5-1
Chapter 5 MT1100C, MT1102C Cards
5.2 Power Supply
Power is supplied to the converter cards from the Rack Nest 2/14 power supply via
the chassis. Each converter card has two fuses (F5 and F6), which protect the
entire system against power failure resulting from a short circuit in one card. The
rating of the fuses is 500 mA, 250V, slowblow (see Figure 5-3).
The Rack Nest 2/14 card cage can accept both AC or DC power supplies. LED
indicators located on the Rack Nest 2/14 front panel (seeFigure 5-2) show activity
when the power supply is connected to the mains plug. The power supply
supports the full card cage with any combination of cards.
AC Supply
The AC power supply of the Rack Nest 2/14 is 100, 115, or 230 VAC, ±10%,
47 to 63 Hz.
Optional DC Supply
The DC power supply is -48 VDC (-36 to -72 VDC) or 24 VDC (18 to 32 VDC). It
uses a DC/DC converter module to provide the power required for the cards.
Power Supply with Redundancy
This special ordering option is equipped with two separate power supplies,
operating together and sharing the load of the whole card cage. If either of the
power supplies fails, the other one will continue to supply power to the full card
cage.
Two LED indicators show activity of each power supply. They should both light
when mains power is provided.
Note
It is possible to combine AC and DC power supplies in the same cage.
