1.1 About This Chapter

This chapter provides a general introduction to Carrier Access Corporation’s Access Bank II SNMP
and includes summaries of its:

• Physical Characteristics

• Features, Functions, and Optional Enhancements

• Digital and Analog Interfaces and Connectors

• Local and Remote Network Management

1.2 General System Overview

The Access Bank II SNMP is an intelligent dual-port T1 voice and data multiplexer equipped with
integrated pairs of Channel Service Units (CSUs) and Data Service Units (DSUs). It supplies up to

9/24/01 1-1

3.072 Mbps of synchronous bandwidth capacity for connecting customer premises telecommunica­tions equipment to public and private network DS1 services. An Internet or router V.35 port may be
configured for up to 1.5 Mbps on one T1, while all 24 voice channels are terminated on a second T1.

1.3 Features, Functions, and Options

The Access Bank II SNMP combines the functions of an intelligent CSU/DSU, digital access &
cross-connect switch (DACS), and channel bank in a single product that includes the following stan­dard features, functions, and options.

1.3.1 Standard Features

• Dual T1 ports with integrated diagnostic ESF CSUs

• 3.08Mbps total available bandwidth

• V.35 DCE data port (to 1.536Mbps)

• Drop and Insert (D&I)

• DS0 Digital Cross-Connect System (DCS)

• Command line interface (CLI) for local or remote mangement.

• RS-232 Command Line Interface and optional Remote Monitor program.

• Embedded SNMP agent supporting MIB-II and standard MIBS for T1 and V.35 via a
TCP/IP and 10base-T Ethernet connection

• 115 Vac to -48 Vdc Power Converter Cube

• Standard 25-pair female telephone cable connector

1.3.2 Software Programmable Functions

• Drop & Insert (D&I): 1 T1/CSU with 1 T1/CSU D&I port

• 2 T1/CSU DSO Digital Cross-Connect (DCS) with three frames maximum (0.375ms)
T1-toT1 delay

• Bandwidth allocations of voice and data

• ESF to D4 (SF) and D4 to ESF conversions for PBXs with T1 interfaces

• Time of day DS-0 mapping to optimize voice and data utilization

1.4 Dual T1/CSU Network Interfaces

Because the dual T1 network interfaces supply over 3 Mbps of useable bandwidth, the Access Bank
II SNMP is able to demultiplex the primary incoming T1 signal into 12 or 24 analog telephone cir­cuits for connection to voice, facsimile , and high-speed V.34 modems, leaving the sec onda ry T1 port

1-2 9/24/01

Digital Data Ports

available for In te rne t connection, or for alt er nat e r outes or carriers. Doubling the bandwidth capac it y
of a conventional d igi t al c hannel bank allows th e Acc ess Bank II SNMP to dedicate t he b uil t-in V.35
DCE data port to Internet, video, or Wide-Area Network (WAN) applications, while also performing
such advanced netwo rking tas ks as Drop and Inser t (D&I), a nd DS-0 Digi tal Acces s & Cros s-connect
Switching (DACS). Both diagnostic CSUs are fully integrated, respond to all standard inband and
out-of-band network loo p codes, an d can be polle d for ANSI T1.403 one- second Perf ormance Repor t
Messages (PRMs) or AT&T 54016 Maintenance Messages over the 4 Kbps ESF Facility Data Link
(FDL).

1.5 Digital Data Ports

1.5.1 V.35 DCE Port

T o f ully uti lize th e e xtra bandwidt h suppl ied b y t he dual T1 int erfa ces, t he Ac cess Bank II SNMP has
a built-in V.35 DCE data port for connection to Wide Area Network (WAN) devices such as Internet
routers and Frame Relay Access Devices (FRADs). This high-speed serial interface supports syn­chronous data con necti ons fr om 56 Kbps to 1.5 36 Mbps, a ll r ates. When u sed in co njunct ion wit h the
internal BER tester , the V.35 interface is also cap able of generati ng V.54 loop codes for activating and
deactivating remote lo opba cks in DCE devi ces at the far-end. The int er veni ng t ran smission link then
can be stress tested using a selectable range of industry standard QRSS patterns (QRSS, All Zeros,
All Ones, 511, 2047, 215-1, 220-1, 202 3-1, etc.). Use of the V.35 DCE port requi r es an optional V.35
data cable.

1.5.2 RS-232 Data Port

The Control Panel of the Access Bank I I SNMP al so co nta ins a n RS-232 seco ndar y dat a port tha t can
be configured to provide a 56/64 Kbps synchronous data channel for connection to SNA cluster con­trollers, data multiplexers, routers, or SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) links.
When configured for asynchronous operation, this same RS-232 data port can also be used, alter­nately, to implement a point-to-point dedicated communications channel between two Acess Bank II
units at 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 14.4, 19.2, 28.8, 38.4, or 57.6 Kbps rates. Use of the RS-232 data port
requires an optional dual purpose RS-232 user data and management cable.

1.6 Analog Line Interfaces: FXS, & FXO, and 4-Wire E&M

To meet individual site-specific communications requirements, the Access Bank II SNMP can be
equipped with a full range of “hot-swappable” slide-insert analog line interface cards. Please contact
CAC for details and availability of these and other card options:

• The Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) 12-channel voice card delivers high quality loop­start or ground-start dial tone telephone line connections to key systems, Off Premise
Extensions (OPXs), facsimile machines, modems, PBXs and other conventional analog
telephone devices.

• The Foreign Exchange Office and Dial Pulse Termination (FXO/DPT) voice card com­pliments the FXS by supplying 12 st and ard loop- st art or ground-start tele phon e li ne con -

9/24/01 1-3

nections on a per channel basis from PBX office-end telephone systems to public
network T1 (DS1) services using FXO terminations. The DPT feature of this card is
especially useful in remote office or campus T1 environments where it can be used to
support one-way Direct Inward Dialing (DID) service for voice mail and call center
applications.

• A Battery Reversal FXS/Dial Pulse Origination (BRFXS/DPO) voice card is also avail­able that provides twel ve 2-wire Loop S tart c onnection s with Tip/Ring ba ttery r eversal to
the digital T1 (DS1 line). The second function of this card is Dial Pulse Origination
(DPO), which is the functional complement to Dial Pulse Termination (DPT) provided
by the FXO/DPT voice card.

• The 4-wire E&M/Transmission Only (E&M/TO) voice card supplies 12 channels for
connecting to private line circuit s, s uch as PBX tie lines and 4-wire modems ofte n f ound
in utility, cellular, and metropolitan area networks (MANs). Each of the twelve E&M
channels can be individually programmed to support Signaling Types I, II, IV or V. This
card can also be configured to function as Channel Equipment (normal multiplexer
mode) or as Switching Equipment for back-to-back Tandem operation sometimes
referred to as “Reverse E&M” or “Pulse Link Repeater.” The Transmission Only (TO)
operating mode provides dedicated transmit and receive paths to radio and modem
equipment uncorrupted by the insertion of A/B robbed bit signaling.

All analog line interface cards greatly exceed the required analog loop range and are proven V.34
modem compatible. Using a spe cial patent-p ending feature d eveloped by Car rier Access Co rporation,
they also perform automatic impedance matching to adapt to various analog modem types and line
lengths. Over-voltage and over-current protection are individually handled on the analog interface
channel cards, as well as on the Controller. This distributes the power redundantly so that a line fault
or over-voltage on one analog channel card does not affect the operation of another.

1.7 Local and Remote Network Management

The Access Bank II SNMP has three network manage ment option s. SNMP and CLI management ar e
described in detail in Chapter 14, SNMP Management and Command Lin e Interfac e, whi le GUI man­agement software is provided in the Access Bank II SNMP User Manual.

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for bas ic n et work c ont rol by a Networ k
Management Station via the Ethernet 10Base-T management port.

• Command Line Interface (CLI) for complete control by a VT-100 terminal via the RS­232 port, or by a Telnet terminal via the Ethernet 10Base-T port.

• Windows
control by a PC or laptop computer via the RS-232 port.

1.7.1 Local/Remote Mode Selection

The Access Bank II SNMP comes equ ipped with two sets of exte rnal DIP swit ches fo r select ing local
or remote management control. In the local hardware control mode, you can use these DIP switches
to perform self-tests for channel alignment, to select basic T1 hardware configuration parameters

(AMI/B8ZS, D4/ESF), and to enabl e detec tion of standa rd D4/ESF in band loop codes by t he inte gral
CSUs. In the remote software control mode, you can use SNMP, CLI, or GUI management terminals.

1.7.2 SNMP Management

The Access Bank II SNMP:

• Supports Simple Network Management Protocol version 2 (SNMPv2) through its Ether­net 10Base-T port.

• Complies with RFC standards for for SNMPv2, Ethernet, Internet, TCP/IP, and MIB-II
network management, and T1 and RS-232 interfaces.

• Has built-in SNMPv2 Agent software providing network statistics, information retrieval
and update, trap thr esh old s, and automatic transmiss ion of t ra p dat a t o Net w ork Manage ­ment Stations.

1.7.2.1 Local and Remote SNMP Management

The Access Bank II SNMP provides SNMP management through its Etherne t 10Base-T port. Remote
SNMP management is possible ove r e it her of t he T1 lines within a V.35 user data segment, a s s hown

1.7.2.2 SNMP Overview

SNMP is a complete, but si mple, mec hanism f or networ k manage ment. It works by e xchanging infor ­mation between a Manager a nd an Agent. In this ca se, the Agent is inside t he Access Bank II/SNMP.
The Manager is a Network Management Station (NMS), which is a computer with SNMP manage­ment software such as HP OpenView

The Agent stores the information in a Management Information Base (MIB), which contains items
such as the current status of the network interface, performance statistics, and alarms.

® or Sun NetManager®.

In general, SNMP is not concerned with controlling every feature of the many different network
objects. However, SNMP is flexible enough that it can support a wide variety of private enterprise
objects with predefine d MIB data struct ures. The Access Bank II /SNMP uses the Bell core

® standard

MIB for T1 inter faces.

Manager operations incl ude simpl e “get” and “set ” comma nds to re trie ve and upda te MIB data in t he

9/24/01 1-5

Agent. Normally, the Manager polls the Agent periodically to check traffic statistics. However, the
Manager can also set th res hol ds f or tra ps. Traps sp eci fy network events and condit ions for which the
Agent automatically sends a Telnet alarm message with trap data back to the Manager.

1.7.3 Command Line Interface

The Access Bank II SNMP comes with a built-in Command Line Interface. CLI provides complete
management of all Access Bank features through any VT-100 terminal or PC connected to the RS­232 port, or through any Telnet terminal connected to the Ethernet 10Base-T port.

CLI works with a communications terminal, in which you type in text and press the carriage return
key to send the message to the host. The host then responds with a log-on message, and the CLI is
ready to use.

CLI is easy to use because the Acces s Bank II SNMP provi des a lis t of menu option s to choose from.
Furthermore, context sensitive help is available to guide you through the setup process. At any time,
you can type in a qu est io n mar k (?) to obtain infor m ati on abou t what to type next or wh at commands
are available. You can also type “help” after any command to get specific help with that command.

1.7.3.1 Local and Remote CLI Management

The Access Bank II SNMP provides CLI management through its RS-232 and Ethernet 10Base-T
ports, as shown in Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3.

For RS-232 CLI control, just connect a PC o r laptop co mputer to th e RS-232 managemen t port on t he
Access Bank II/SNMP. Then use a VT - 100 termi nal emulat ion pro gram su ch as Micros oft Hyper Ter­minal

®. (The default communic ations p ort sett ings are 9600, 8, 1, N.) Press th e Escape ke y to ini tiate

the link. The Access Bank will return a log-on message. If a password is required, the Access Bank
will request that you enter a password. (Units shipped from the factory do not have a password
defined, but the user is encouraged to use passwords to prevent unauthorized use.) CLI can be used
from a remote site by connecting the RS-232 port to a modem and telephone line.

management software can also be used to poll the Access Bank II SNMP for remote alarms via an
external H ayes

®-compatible modem attached to the RS-232 management port.

1.8 Design Philosophy

The Access Bank II SNMP is manufactured by CAC according to a design philosophy based on
solid-state ove rvoltage and overc urrent pr otectio n without t he use of low-curr ent fuses (<1 A) or very
high-wattage resistor s. Thanks to thi s advan ced new tech nology, the Access Bank II SNMP complies
fully with National Electr ical Code and UL 1459 require ments for the saf ety of equipment attached to
telephone wiring without using any fuses, which dramatically improves its long-term reliability,
while greatly reducing equipment down time. As an added benefit, all items of equipment connected
to the Access Bank II SNMP are protected from transient network voltage or current surges.

2.1 About This Chapter

This chapter describes the general physical characteristics and layout of the Access Bank II - SNMP,
including its:

• Dual RJ-48C Jacks for T1 Span 1 and Span 2

• V.35 and RS-232 Digital Interface Ports

• Power Source Connector

• Standard 25-pair RJ-21X Tip & Ring Telephony Connector

• T1 Span and System Setup DIP switches

• LED Test and Status Indicators

2.2 Physical Characteristics

The Access Bank II - SNMP consists of a painted sheet steel chassis housing, nickel-plated chassis
tray and removable back plate that accepts one (or two) 7.8 inch by 13.16 inch analog line interface
daughter card(s). These analog line interface channel cards slide into the rear of the unit along rails
that guide a 64-pin DIN connector on each card to mate with a matching connector on an internal

9/24/01 2-1

Controller card. The Controller card measures approximately 4 inches by 16.25 inches and functions
as a Line Interface Unit (LIU) that integrates the two Channel Service Units (CSUs), the ringing gen­erator, the ringback tone generator, and power converter functions. Separate Dual T1 and SNMP
daughter cards measuring 1.75 inches by 6.25 inches are each mounted on the Controller card using
support standoffs, plastic washers and screws. The Dual T1 daughter card is equipped with two stan­dard RJ-48C 8-pin connector jacks for connecting to one (or two) T1 carrier network interface(s).
The SNMP daughter card is equipped with an RJ-45 modular jack for TCP/IP 10Base-T Ethernet
connection.

The Access Bank II - SNMP is 1.75 inches high, 17.75 inches deep, and 17 inches wide and, when
fully loaded with two analog line interface daughter cards, weighs approximately 14.5 pounds.
The Access Bank II - SNMP is des igned to operat e at an alt itude between 0 and 10,000 feet above sea
level and within a temperature range from 32

° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) and in environments with a rela-

tive humidity from 0 and 95%.

Note: For proper Access Bank II - SNMP operation outside the specified ranges,

the unit must be placed in an environmentally controlled enclosure.

2.3 Control Panel Interface Connectors

The Control Panel on the front of the chassis housing contains the following connectors and power
connection terminals shown in Figure 2-1:

• Dual T1 Span 1 and Span 2 l i ne c onne ct ion ports each equippe d wi th standard RJ-48C 8­pin connector jacks.

• V.35 DCE Data port equipped with a 26-pin standard D-type subminiature connector
(female) for high-speed digital Internet WAN connections up to 1.536 Mbps.

Note: An optional V.35 da ta cable is required to ut ilize the V.35 DCE data port.

• RS-232 Remote Management port eq uipped with a standard 26-pin D-type subminiat ure
connector (female) for connection to an external PC or Hayes

-compatible modem for

local or remote configuration, management, and performance monitoring using the
Access Bank II - SNMP Remote Monito r MS W in dows-bas ed soft ware i nterf ace or c om­mand line interface.

Note: An optional Dual Headed Data and Manage ment Cable is required to co nnect

to the primary Management and secondary Data leads for simultaneous local or
remote management and asynchronous or synchronous data connections.

Control Panel DIP Switches

• Three-position DC power t er minal input for c onne ct ion to the 115 Vac to -48 Vdc Power
Converter Cube, or to a customer-supplied external -48 Vdc battery power source.

• Tip & Ring Analog Interface equipped with standard 25-pair Telephony Connector
(female) for connection to key systems, facsimile devices, modems and PBXs.

The ABII Control Panel is equipped with an interface connector for accessing the embedded SNMP
agent.

2.4 Control Panel DIP Switches

The Access Bank II - SNMP Control Panel also contains a 10-pos ition T1 Span Setup DIP switch that
is used for individually configuring each of the two T1 network interfaces. There is also a 4-position
System Setup DIP switch for selecting between Local or Remote modes of management and activat­ing and deactivating alarm cut-off. The locations of these DIP switches are shown in Figure 2-1. As
an aid to setting up the these DIP switches, a convenient installation guide is silk screened onto the
chassis housing and reprinted here in Figure 2-2.

2.5 LED Test and Status Indicators

There are five LED indicators that display the current performance and test status of the dual T1
spans lines and V.35 digital interface. Figure 2-1 shows the locations of these LEDs on the Access
Bank II - SNMP front Control Panel. How to interpret the current state of each LED indicator is silk
screened onto the chassis housing and reprinted here in Figure 2-2.

4.3 Chassis Mounting

The Access Bank II - SNMP can be wall-mounted, rack-mounted, or surface-mounted. Prior to
mounting the Access Ban k II - SNM P chas si s, ensu re that the i nstal lati on sit e me ets t he fo llowin g cri ­teria:

• Adequate clearance for access to control panel DIP switches, cable routing, and ventila­tion. Leave at least 18 inches behind the back plate for maintenance and accessing the
slide-in voice cards.

• Because the cables on the power conversion cube total 13 feet in length, there should be
a properly grounded, 1 10 VAC power outle t within 10 fe et of the Ac cess Bank II - SNMP
Control Panel.

• A stable environment, clean and fre e from e xtremes of tempe rature, s hoc k, vibra tion and
EMI, with a relative humidity between 0 and 95%.

• An ambient temperature that stays below 40º C (104

º F

).

9/24/01 4-3

!

• An installation site below 10,000 feet (3,048 m).

• For operation outside these ranges, the Access Bank II - SNMP must be placed in an
environmentally controlled enclosure.

Caution: If the operatin g temperat ure ris es above the 40

thermal protection devi ce will shut off the Acce ss Bank II - SNMP. When the
temperature is reduced below this threshold, the Access Bank II - SNMP
restarts.

Caution: When you mount the chassis, do not allow the Access Bank II -

SNMP to remain in direct contact with any combustible surface.

4.4 Wall Mounting

The adapter brackets attached to the Access Bank II - SNMP are positioned at shipment for wall­mounting. To wall-mount the unit:

1. Select a location that meets the criteria specified above. Leave at least 1/2 inch clearance
below the chassis for ventilation. Leave at least 6 inches in front of the Access Bank II ­SNMP Control Panel for access to its switches and LEDs and at least 18 inches behind the
back plate for maintenance.

2. To create a 3/4 inch offset between the Access Bank II - SNMP chassis and the wall surface
for better ventilation, mount a 3/4 inch thick piece of plywood (at least 20 inches vertically
by 14 inches horizontally) on the wall using fasteners appropriate for mounting a heavy
object (see Figure 4-1).

3. Mount the Access Bank II - SNMP chassis to the plywood with eight #8 x 3/4” pan-head (or
larger) wood screws (Figure 4-1).

4.5 Rack Mounting

The Access Bank II - SNMP can be r ack-moun ted us in g seve ral d if fer ent me thods. The smal l ad apter
brackets shipped with t he uni t can be used to mount t he uni t in a stan dard 19 ” r ack wit h a ty pical five ­inch offset. Usi ng the reco mmended hea vy-duty bra ckets, you c an mount the Ac cess Bank II - SNMP
in either a 19” or 23” rack with a custom offset.

Surface Mounting

4.5.1 Rack Mounting with Brackets Shipped with Unit

To mount the Access Bank II - SNMP in a standard EIA 19-inch Telco equipment rack using the
included adapter brackets:

1. Remove the two front adapter brackets, rotate them 90 degrees and re-attach the brackets so
they face toward the unit back plate (Figure 4-2). This creates a standard five-inch offset
mounting typical of telecommunications equipment.

2. Select an appropriate location in the rack with at least 1 3/4 inches of clearance above and
below the chassis for ventilation. Also ensure that there is at least 6 inches in front of the
Control Panel for access to its controls and DIP switches, and at least 18 inches behind the
back plate for maintenance.

3. Mount the chassis using 10-32 x 3/4” machine screws appropriate for a Telco rack (Figure 4-

3).

Note: The optional heavy-duty rack mounting brackets (see Figure 4-4) can

significantly inc rease static s trength and prov ide a custom front -to-back offse t when
mounting the units on either 19” or 23” racks (see Figure 4-3).

4.5.2 Mounting with Heavy-Duty Brackets

1. Remove the four small front adapter brackets from the Access Bank II - SNMP.

2. Attach the heavy-duty brackets to the Access Bank II - SNMP using the screws included in
the heavy-duty bracket kit (see Figure 4-3).

3. Select an appropriate location in the rack with at least 1 3/4 inches of clearance above and
below the chassis for ventilation. Also ensure that there is at least 6 inches in front of the
Control Panel for access to its controls and DIP switches, and at least 18 inches behind the
back plate for maintenance.

4. Mount the chassis on the rack using 10-32 x 3/4” machine screws appropriate for a Telco
rack (Figure 4-3).

4.6 Surface Mounting

To surface-mount the Access Bank II - SNMP as a desktop stand-alone, simply place it on a flat, sta­ble, non-combustible s urface wit h at lea st 1/2 inc h ventil ation cle arance be low the uni t. Leave at least
6 inches in front, and 18 inches in back of the chassis fo r ventilation and ac ces s to its controls. Leave
at least 3/4” above the chassis for required ventilation.

4.7 Mounting the Power Converter

The Access Bank II - SNMP is normally ship ped fo r US operation with a 115 Vac to -48 Vdc power
conversion cube. This cube includes both a 5-foot grounded AC power cord and a 8-foot three-posi­tion DC power cable. The Power Converter Cube has four mounting holes for attaching the unit to a
wall or other flat su rf ace. To mount the Power Convert er Cube on a nearby wall, loca te the converter
within 7 feet of the Access Bank II - SNMP front Control Panel and use screws or anchors appropri­ate to the mounting surface. If you are wall mounting the power conversion cube on the same ¾”
thick plywood sheet as the Access Bank II - SNMP, the dimensions of the board will have to be at
least 25” by 14”. Wi re tie -do wn s can be use d to keep str ay wire s to a mini mu m, but b e care fu l not to
damage the wiring in any way.

also connects to the punch-down block or RJ-11 “Harmonica.”

Note: 4-wire E&M 12-channel voice card requires optional cables to connect to

the punch-down block. Thes e cables elimin ate the use of the front pa nel RJ-21X Tip
& Ring telephone connector.

5.4 Connecting the Voice Circuits

Voice circuit connections are made at the 50-pin Amphenol jack labeled Tip & Ring on the Access
Bank II SNMP Control Panel (se e Figure 5-1). You will need a standard 25-pa ir telep hone cable with
RJ-21X wiring and a D-type mating connector at the Access Bank II SNMP end. The other end con­nects to either a punch down block or an RJ-11 “Harmonica” for interfacing to analog telephony
equipment.

To connect the voice circuits:

1. Connect the telephone cable to the punch-down block or RJ-11 “Harmonica.”

2. Route the cable to the Access Bank II SNMP Control Panel.

3. Remove any screws in the D-type connector that may prevent a flus h connecti on with the T i p
& Ring jack.

4. Connect the D-type mating connector to the Tip & Ring connector on the Control Panel.

5. Cinch down the attached Velcro strap to retain the connectors.

6. Use the cable tie down on the unit and elsewhere to avoid accidental disconnection.

Note: If you are connecting an external alar m, note in Table 5- 2 that pair 25 of the

voice drop cable pr ovides a conne ction to a se t of normally open relay con tacts (1 50
Vrms, 150 mA maximum load) that close when the Access Ban k II SNMP enters an
alarm state. For more inf ormation on externa l alarm events, see th e Remote Monitor
section of this manual and the separate Remote Monitor User’s Guide.

7.2 Remote Monitor Software Program

7.2.1 Overview

The Access Bank Remote Monitor software interface is used to configure and manage the Access
Bank via the RS-232 Ma nage ment Por t. Installed on a local I BM- compa ti bl e PC or laptop connected
to the RS-232 Management po rt , Remot e Moni tor provides a conveni en t us er-friendly s of twar e i nt er ­face for configuring, monit ori ng, and testing the performance of th e Acces s Bank. The Remot e Mon ­itor software can also be downloaded in to a remote computer for dial-in/dia l-out management over a
separate PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) analog line. In this application, Remote Moni­tor can also be used to poll the Access Bank for remote alarms via a Hayes
attached to the secondary connectors of the RS-232 Management port. Figure 7-1 illustrates these
two different ways of connecting Remote Monitor to the Access Bank.

Online Help

Access Bank: config uration traffic between the PC and th e Access Bank, status traffic from the
Access Bank to the PC, and alarm report messages from the Access Bank to the PC. The X-modem
protocol is used to send/receive data from the Access Bank. A low-priority process resides in the
Access Bank to process the X-modem packets and update the internal data structures accordingly.
Statistical data and error handling are p roc ess ed by int er nal processes and sent to the re mo te moni t or
via X-modem packets. The Remote Monit or soft ware can also be use d to perf orm V.54 loopback test ­ing to sectionalize and stress test the V.35 remote link using a full array of industry standard QRSS
test patterns.

8.1 About This Chapter

This chapter describes how to configure the Access Bank II - SNMP Foreign Exchange Station ­Caller ID (FXS - ID) 12-channel voice card for connection to T1 public network services and pro-

vides instructions for:

• Setting FXS Transmit and Receive Levels

• Setting FXS Signaling Type Options

• Performing FXS Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing

8.2 FXS-ID Voice Card

The Foreign Exchange Station - Caller ID (FXS-ID) 12-channel voice card delivers high quality
loop-start or ground-start dial tone telephone line connections to key systems, Off Premise Exten­sions (OPXs), facsimile machines, modems, PBXs and other convent io nal anal og t ele pho ne devices.
The FXS - ID card supports the Caller ID CLASSÆ feature . The FXS -ID, is a 7.8” by 13.16” daugh ­ter card designed to slide into the back of the Access Bank II - SNMP along rails that guide a 64-pin
DIN connector to mate with a matched connector on the internal AB2 Controller. The FXS-ID card
receives the T1 signaling , tip and ring pairs, control log ic and power through this conne ctor . The back

9/24/01 8-1

FXS-ID Configuration

plate of the FXS-ID card has 12 channel status LEDs and one 4-position DIP switch for selecting
from a number of dif f erent signa ling typ es. Fur thermore, the back plate also contai ns 12 test switc hes
that can be used to “busy out” each channel individually. On the FXS-ID card itself, each individual
channel has a 6-position DIP switch for setting transmit and receive line attenuation.

When equipped with the Foreign Exchange Station - Caller ID (FXS-ID) voice card, the Access
Bank II - SNMP can support a number of popular signaling types used by dedicated T1-accessed
voice service providers, including:

• AT&T Megacom

• NYNEX Flexpath

•US West DSS

 (E&M Wink-Start)

“ (E&M Wink-Start)

“

• Long-distance Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and Dialed Number Identifica­tion Service (DNIS) from MCI, Sprint, LDDS, and Wiltel.

The FXS circuits automatically perform impedance matching (not to be confused with DS-1 ALBO)
to adapt to various PBXs, key systems, telephones and line lengths.

8.3 Signaling Types

The FXS-ID voice card can be configured, using DIP switches on the card, to support the following
common signaling types:

• FXO in the Central Office (CO)- to- AB2 FXS A/B Si gnal in g (r egul ar 3-s ta te FXS sign al ­ing)

• E&M Immediate Start to Loop-Start/Ground-Start

• Wink-Start to Loop-Start/Ground-Start

• Wink Delay (ANI/DNIS) for Loop-Start/Ground-Start

8.3.1 FXO Switch to AB2 FXS A/B Signaling

Select the def aul t se tt ing to have Access Ba nk II - SNMP FXS interfaces automatically adapt to loop­start or ground-start signals received from the incoming T1 line on a channel-by-channel basis. This
option is used when an FXO voice card is in the Central Office, at the other end of the T1 link oppo­site the FXS -ID card. It is important to note that in this configuration, the C aller ID CLASS feature
can only be supported if the FXD voice card in the CO also supports this feature.

8.3.2 Wink-Start to Loop-Start or Ground-Start

Select Wink-Start to Loop-Start or Ground-Start to translate two-state wink-start signaling from the
T1 network (AT&T Megacom, Flexpath, etc.) to loop-start or ground-start ringing at the FXS inter­face. Ringback tone is supp lied on the T1 transmit pat h during the ringing st at e of t he FXS. This con­figuration options all 12 FXS channels to appear as E&M wink-start channels to the serving carrier
switch, while providing the customer with standard dial tone/ringing telephone line connections.

8-2 9/24/01

Setting the FXS Transmit and Receive Levels

8.3.3 Wink Delay

Select Wink Delay to translate two-state w ink-start signaling t oward the T1 network to an FXS ring­ing with delayed wink for proceed-to-send digit indication. Upon detection of an incoming seizure
from the T1 network, the AB2 applies ringing voltage to the FXS channel. When the attached equip­ment answers by closing the loop, the Access Bank II - SNMP winks the network for “proceed to
send,” allowing the attac hed equipme nt to recei ve DTMF digits car ry ing Automat ic Number Identif i­cation (ANI) or Directory Number Identif ication Servi ce (DNIS). This is particul arly usef ul for voice
mail, voice response, call distribution, and automatic attendant applications. Standard loop-start PC
voice mail and fax car ds can b e use d for ANI and DNIS applications , wit hou t the added expense and
complexi ty of installing signal ing conve rters.

8.4 Setting the FXS Transmit and Receive Levels

The transmit and receive atte nuation lev els for each FXS voic e frequency cha nnel can be set bet ween
0 and -9 dB using twelve 6-position DIP switches (CH1 - CH12) on top of the circuit board (see Fig­ure 8-1). Each analog channel uses a bank of six DIP switches, with three for transmit and three for
receive. Operation of eac h s et of t hree s wit ches i n addi tive. For ex ample, s etti ng sw itch 1 (-2 dB) an d
switch 2 (-3 dB) to OFF for any given channel selects a receive loss of -5 dB. The default setting for
the transmit level is -3 dB; for the receive level it is -6 dB. The default settings are appropriate for
most applications.

FXS-ID Configuration

If your FXS voice channels require different attenuation level settings than the factory defaults, pro­ceed as follows:

1. Release the two thumbscrews on the AB2 back plate and remove the plate (see Figure 8-2).

2. To remove the FXS-ID slide-in voice card, pull out the two card ejector latches simulta­neously to release the card from the int er nal connector , th en slide the card care ful l y out from
the rear of the AB2 chassis (see Figure 8-2).

3. To set different transmit and/or receive gain or loss levels, refer to Figure 8-1 and Table 8-1.

4. To reinsert the FXS-ID voice card, ensure that the card is positioned correctly in the card
rails, then carefully slide the card into the slot until it stops.

5. Press both card ejector latches in towards the FXS-ID card to seat the 64-pin DIN connector
in the matching connector on the internal Controller card.

6. After setting the transmit and receive level options, replace the back plate and tighten the
thumbscrews.

8.5 Setting the FXS Signaling Option s

Each FXS-ID card contains on e 4-p ositi on DIP swi tch tha t can be u sed to se lect signal ing opt ion s for
all twelve channels . As sho wn in Table 8-2, the AB2 back plate provide s openings for a ccessing these
DIP switches, one per FXS-ID card.

8.5.1 Option Switches A, B, and C

The three switches labeled Option A, Option B, and Option C are used as a group to select signaling
conversion options for all 12 channels of each FXS-ID card. When all three switches are set OFF
(default), the FXS voice circuits will automatically select ground-start or loop-start signaling on a
channel-by-channel basis according to the incoming T1 signal. See Table 8-2 for all switch combina­tions.

TP Idle/Busy Switch

The fourth switch o n each DIP switc h, labeled TP Busy/Idl e, select s whether the tip-gro und relays are
busy (closed) or idle (open) during trunk processing. The default is idle (switch 4 OFF).
T o change signal ing optio ns, refer t o Table 8-2 and Figure 8-3. The numbered signa ling opti ons list ed

Private Line Automatic Ringdown (D3 PLAR)

Known as D3 Private Line Automatic Ringdown (D3 PLAR), this option provides a “hot-line” ring
down function from the near -end tele phone to the far -e nd telephone connected o ver the same chann el
of the T1 line. The first telephone to go off-hook seizes the channel with a signaling bit sequence of
A/B = 11 and hears a cadenced ringback tone (2 seconds on, 4 seconds off) from the far-end channel
bank. The far-end disconnects the ringback tone and sends A/B = 11 to the originating end when its

8.6.1.6 Option 5. Wink-Start to Loop-Start Conversion with ANI/DNIS and
Calling Party Disconnect

Switch A Switch B Switch C
ON OFF ON

This option provides a loop-start interface between the AB2 and the P BX for voice mail/phone
applications. E&M wink-start signaling and per-channel ringback tones are sent to the T1 line.

Ringing voltage is applied immediately after incoming seizure. The 200 ms outgoing wink “pro­ceed-to-send” signal is not sent to the T1 network until 800 ms after FXS ringing voltage has been
tripped (answered). Thus, the voice mail or PBX DTMF or MF register has at least one second to
be attached to the line after closing the loop. The network proceeds to automatically send four to
ten ANI or DNIS digits.

User also receives a two-second Tip Open condition (loop current turns off) at the FXS-ID when
the network releases seizure (the far-end call hangs up). Battery feed from the FXS-ID returns to
normal idle (tip grounded) after the two-second disconnect. This feature is similar to local tele­phone service Calling Party D isconnect (C PD ), provide d b y so me Ce ntral O ffice e quipment for
answering machines and PBXs that are equipped to detect loss of loop current on their line inter­faces. This loss of loop current informs the equipment to disconnect the call.

8.6.1.7 Option 6. Wink-Start to Ground-Start Conversion with ANI/DNIS

Switch A Switch B Switch C

This option provides a ground-start interface between the AB2 and the PBX for voice mail/phone
applications. E&M wink-start signaling and per-channel ringback to nes are provided to the T1
line.

Ringing voltage is applied immediately after incoming seizure. The 200-ms outgoing wink “pro­ceed-to-send” signal is not sent to the T1 network until 800 ms after FXS ringing voltage has been
tripped (answered). Thus, the voice mail or PBX DTMF or MF register has at least one second to
be attached to the line after closing the loop. The network proceeds to automatically send 4 to 10
ANI or DNIS digits.

!

Upon request, Carrier Access will provide customized FX signaling options that can include any
of the aforementioned options plus others, including answer supervision wink signaling.

Answer Supervision Wink Signaling

Answer supervision wink signaling takes the form of a 200-m s tip-open condition (loop cu rrent
turns off) from the Access Bank II - SNMP to the vo ice-mail or ph one system w hen th e far end
goes off hook (answers the call). Battery feed from the FXS-ID returns to normal (tip grounded)
after the 200-ms disconnect. This feature is useful if the calling party switch needs to know when
the far end has answered the call.

Caution: If you use this setting when no customized signaling has been

installed, all back plate LEDs turn a steady RED and normal operation of the
FXS-ID voice card is interrupted.

8.6.2 TP Busy/Idle Switch

ON OFF
Idle Busy

Use this switch to select whether the FXS tip-ground relays will be closed (busy) or open (idle) dur­ing trunk processing. (Trunk processing occurs when the T1 line is in an alarm or reset state.) The
Busy position (OFF) causes the ti p-ground relays to be closed during a T1 alarm or reset period. The
Idle position ON) causes the tip-ground relays to be open during a T1 alarm or reset period.

Note: The Busy position (OFF) is recommended for loop-start or ground-start

applications where the attached PBX has the ability to re-route calls to different
trunks when the T1 line is down.

8.7 FXS Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing

The channel status LEDs on the back plate of the Access Bank II - SNMP allow you to monitor the
status of the individual FXS voice lines. Operation of these LEDs is summarized in Figure 8-4.

8-10 9/24/01

FXS Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing

The channel test switches on the FXS-ID back plate can be used to send a 4 second continuous ring­ing voltage to the tip and ring pair of each FXS voice channel. You can check the operation of an
individual voice channe l by attach ing a tes t tele phone to the Tip and Ring pair of a pa rt icula r channe l
at the punchdown block or RJ-11 Harmonica, then switching ON the appropriate channel test switch
to test that channel.

8.7.3 “Busying Out” Individual FXS Channels

Switching a channel test switch to the ON position has three results on the selected FXS channel:

1. To confirm individual channel circuit integrity, 4 seconds of ringing voltage are sent to the
Tip and Ri ng pair. The Tip is then grounded u ntil t he cha nnel t est swi tch is turne d to th e OFF
position (to the right).

!

Warning: Four seconds of ringing voltage (85 V) will be present at the Tip

and Ring pair of the FXS channel-unde r- tes t unt il the test telephone is picked
up to trip the ringing.

Requirement: A test telephone connected to the punch down block or RJ-11 Harmonica

should ring for 4 seconds.

2. As an aid to network technicians troubleshooti ng audio probl ems, 4 seconds of ringb ack tone
are also sent toward the T1 network.

3. After the 4 seconds of ringback tone , the FXS cha nnel will “busy out” toward t he T1 networ k
side.

Note: Each channel test switch can provide ringing during Trunk Processing (or

even when the T1 line is disconnected).

8.7.4 Self Test Loopbacks

During Self-Test, switching a channel test switch to the ON position has the following result:

The affected FXS channel receives 4 seconds of ringing voltage (85 V) and the LED for that particu­lar channel turns RED. This a llows a t echnic ian to r ing the telep hone and ve rify a udio ton e when it i s
answered.

Note: During Self Test, a RED cha nnel LED may come on, but does not indi cate a

problem.

9.1 About This Chapter

This chapter describes how to configure the Access Bank II Battery Reversal Foreign Exchange Sta­tion and Dial Pulse Origination (BRFXS/DPO) 12-channel voice card for connection to T1 public

network services and provides instructions for:

• Setting Transmit and Receive Levels

• Setting the FXS with battery reversal and DPO

• Performing Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing

9.2 Description of the BRFXS/DPO Card

The BRFXS/DPO 12-channel voice card can be configured to operate either as a battery reversal
FXS card or as a Dial Pulse Origination (DPO) card. In the battery reversal mode, the BRFXS/DPO

9/24/01 9-15

Battery Reversal FXS & Dial Pulse Origination Card

provides twelve 2-wire CPE analog loop-start connections to the digital T1 line using the same
method used by the FXS voice card, only with the addition of Tip/Ring battery reversal. The FXS
interface re verses the polarity of t he battery feed towards the customer premise equipment (CPE) in
response to the si gna li ng bi t s coming from the T1 line. Various PBX systems requ ir e ba tt er y reversal
to signal the start of billing, and in certain telephony environments it is needed to provide Line Side
Answer Supervision (LSAS). One important application for battery reversal occurs in International
Call Back, which allows international callers dialing the US to avoid more expensive inbound rates
by taking advantage of cheaper US outbound long distance rates.

Dial Pulse Origination (DPO) is the f unctional complement to Dial Pulse Termination (DPT) pro­vided by the FXO/DPT voice card. Used in conjunction, t he DPO a nd DPT cards are used mainly for
origination and termination of Direct Inward Dial (DID) circuits.

The BRFXS/DPO is a 7.8” by 13.16” daughter card designed to slide into the back of the Access
Bank II along rails that guide a 64-pin DIN connector to mate with a matched connector on the inter­nal ABI Controller. The card receives the T1 signaling, tip and ring pairs, control logic and power
from the Controller card through this connector. The back plate of the card has 12 channel status
LEDs and one 4-position DIP switch for selecting between battery reversal FXS loop-start and Dial
Pulse Originating (DPO) modes of operation. Furthermore, the back plate also contains 12 test
switches that can be used to “busy out” each channel individually. On the BRFXS/DPO card itself,
each individual channel has a 6-position DIP switch for setting transmit and receive line attenuation.

9.3 Overview of Operation

The reversible-b attery FXS channel ca rd is desi gned to pr ovide twel ve 2-wire analog int erfaces to the
digital T1 (DS1) line. Currently, the analog loops (also called CPE loops in this document) must
always be loop-start.

One of the ma in features of the analog interface is that the polar ity of the battery feed tow ards the
customer-pr emise equip ment (CPE) can be revers ed in respo nse to t he signal ing bits coming from th e
T1 line.

• The basic operation is selected by setting Switch A off so that no ringing voltage is

applied towards the CPE. If desired, Switch B can be turned on to give a cadenced (2­second/4-second) ringback tone to the T1 line during incoming calls. The battery to the
CPE loop will be r eversed to indic ate an i ncoming ca ll. Th e batter y will r eturn t o forward
polarity again when the call has ended.

• Also included in this channel card is a setting to provide cadenced ringing voltage (if

needed by other customer-premise equipment). This option is enabled by setting Switch
A on so that cadenced ringing voltage will be applied to the CPE loop during an incom­ing call. The battery is r everse d durin g this t ime. If desir ed, Switc h B can be t urned on to
give a cadenced (2-se con d/4-second) ringback to ne to the T1 line during incomi ng ca ll s,
that is synchronized to the ringing voltage present on the loop.

9-16 9/24/01

BRFXS/DPO Applications

Note: During a two-way call, t he CPE - loop ba tter y is r evers ed. To di sconne ct the

call either the CPE loop current ceases or the network sends A/B bits = 0/0. The
reversed state of the CPE loop, however, will be maintained until the network
terminates (releases) the call.

9.4 BRFXS/DPO Applications

As explained above, the two major applications for the BRFXS/DPO card are FXS with battery
reversal “wink” to signal a PBX timer to start billing a call and Dial Pulse Origination (DPO) for
transport of Direct Inward Dialing (DID) lines. Refer to Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2 for pictorial repre­sentations of these two applications.

9.5 Setting the Transmit and Receive Le vels

The transmit and receive levels for each BRFXS/DPO voice frequency channel can be set between 0
and -9 dB using twelve 6-position DIP switches (CH1 - CH12) on top of the circuit board card (see
Figure 9-3). Each analog channel uses a bank of six DIP switches, with three for transmit and three
for receive. Operati on of eac h set of three switches i n add it iv e. For example, setting switch 1 (-2 dB)
and switch 2 (-3 dB) to OFF for any given chan nel selects a receive loss of -5 dB. The default se tting
for the transmit level is -3 dB; for the receive level it is -6 dB. The default settings are appropriate for
most applications.

9.7 Setting BRFXS and DPO

9.7.1 Battery Reversal FXS Loop-Start

The BRFXS/DPO card includes a setting for 2-wire FXS loop-start operation with battery reversal.
To enable this opti on, set Switch A on the 4-p osi ti on DI P s wit ch t o ON s o t h at cad enc ed r in ging volt­age is applied to the CPE loop duri ng an inco ming call ( See Table 9-2). The battery is reversed dur ing
this time. If desired, Switch B can be turned ON also to send a cadenced (2-second/ 4-second) ring­back tone to the T1 line during incoming calls.

9.7.2 Dial Pulse Origination (DPO)

The DPO option is selected by s ett i ng Swit ch A to OFF so th at no rin ging voltage is applied towar ds
the CPE. If desired, Switch B can be turned ON to give a cadenced (2 second/ 4 second) ringback
tone to the T1 line dur ing incoming calls (See Table 9-2). T o indicate an incoming cal l, t he bat te ry t o
the CPE loop is reversed. When the call ends, the battery returns to forward.

9.7.3 BRFXS/DPO Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing

The channel status LEDs on the back pla te of the Access Bank II al low you to monitor the i ndi vid ual
BRFXS/DPO voice lines. The meaning of these LEDs is summarized above in Figure 9-4.

The channel test switches on the BRFXS/DPO back plate can be used to apply reverse battery to the
CPE loop and send A/B bits forced to 1/1 toward the T1 network. If Switch A is ON, 4 seconds of
continuous ringing voltage (85 V) are sent to the tip and ring pair of each BRFXS/DPO voice chan­nel. In this case, you can check the operation of an individual voice channel by attaching a test tele­phone to the Tip and Ring pair of that particular channel at the punchdown block or RJ-11
Harmonica, then switchi ng ON the appropr iate channel test swit ch to tes t that channel. If Switch B is
ON, 4 seconds of continuous ringback tone is also sent to the T1 network.

9.8 Busying Out Individual BRFXS/DPO Channels

If Switch A and Switch B are both ON, setting a channel test switch to ON has four results on the
selected channel:

1. Reverse battery is applied to the CPE loop and th e A/B si gnaling bits sent to the network are
forced to 1/ 1.

2. To confirm individual channel circuit integrity, 4 seconds of continuous ringing voltage are
sent to the Tip and Ring pair. The Tip is then grounded unt il the channel test switch is turned
to the OFF position (to the right).

9-22 9/24/01

Self Test Loopbacks

Danger: Four seconds of continuous ringi ng voltage (85 V) will be present

!

at the Tip and Ring pair of the channel-under-test until the test telephone is
picked up to trip the ringing.

Requirement: A test telephone connected to the punch down block or RJ-11
Harmonica should ring for 4 seconds.

3. As an aid to network technicians troubleshooting audio problems, 4 seconds of continuous
ringback tone are also sent toward the T1 network.

4. After the 4 seconds of continuous ringback tone, the FXS channel will “busy out” to ward the
T1 network side.

Note: Each channel test switch can provide ringing during Trunk Processing (or

even when the T1 line is disconnected).

9.9 Self Test Loopbacks

If a Self-Test is in progress and Switch A is ON, setting a channel test switch to the ON position
should have the following result:

The affected channel receives 4 seconds of continuous ringing voltage (85 V) and the LED for that
particular channel turns RED. This allows a technician to ring the telephone and verify audio tone
when it is answered.

Note: During Self Test, a RED cha nnel LED may come on, but does not indi cate a

problem.

10.1 About This Chapter

This chapter describes the 12-Channel Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) and Dial Pulse Termination
(DPT) card used in the Access Bank II - SNMP, and provides information for configuring the card.

10.2 Description of the FXO Card

The FXO/DPT 12-channel analog card is an “office end” telephone line voice card designed specifi­cally as an interfac e for Carr ier Access Corpo ration’s family of Access Bank II - SNMP T1 Voice and
Data Multiplexers, which are FCC-approved digital Channel Banks and Channel Service Unit/ Data
Service Units (CSU /DSUs) for attachment of customer premise telecommunications equipment to
public network T1 (DS1) services. The FXO/DPT card provides an interface between the Tip/Ring
pair and T1 line for each of the channels on the FXO/DPT to provide FXO and DPT operation.The
“rear” end of the FXO/DPT card (opposite the connector to the LIU board in the front of the Access
Bank) has 12-channel status LEDs and one 4-pin DIP switch used to select whether the card uses

9/24/01 10-1

12-Channel FXO & Dial Pulse Termination Card

FXO or DP T termination. Also on t he c ar d, ea ch i ndividual channel has a two posi t ion switch for the
selection of ground start or loop start (see Figure 9-3) and a 6-section DIP switch to control the line
attenuation (see Channel Attenuation Options).

10.3 Termination Options

The FXO/DPT card can be configured for use as either an FXO or DPT interface card. Further, FXO
offers both ground start (GS) and loop start (LS) modes of operation. These options require the set­ting of one switch per channel (12 per car d) and one 4- posit ion Dual I nline Pa ckage (DI P) swi tch per
card (see Table 10-1, and Figure 9-3). Note that in the table, a 1 indicates the switch is on, while a 0
indicates the switch is off. The slide switch on the 12-channel analog card for each channel indicates
whether that channel is set to GS or LS mode. The DIP switch determines whether the card will use
FXO or DPT termination.

Note: When DPT is selected, the large slide s witches for each cha nne l must all be

set to LS. However, when FXO termination is chosen, either LS or GS can be
selected for each channel.
