XEISDNU5
Single Module ISDN Terminal Adapter
With Integrated NT1 Interface
Description
The XEISDNU5 integrated ISDN Terminal
Adapter is a unique component level solution for
high speed, stand-alone and embedded equipment applications needing access to ISDN service. The module can directly connect to a host
computer through its on-board EIA-232E ready*
interface and link to the ISDN subscriber line U
interface with its integrated NT1.
The device is designed for the ISDN Basic
Rate Interface (BRI) which consists of two bearer
(B) channels for data or voice and one delta (D)
channel for signaling. The module provides two
64k bps channels between the host computer and
the ISDN service. One is available as a data
channel and the other can be made available for
analog phone/fax/modem calls with the addition
of the XEISDNP Analog Telephone (POTS)
Equipment Interface. Together these provide the
user with a complete ISDN terminal adapter
function in two compact modules.
Built-in ISDN control firmware supports all the
functions necessary for setup and configuration of
the terminal adapter and the ISDN line. Configuration can be accomplished via an extended AT
command set, a menu-driven setup utility, or
factory default/user stored configuration profiles.
The built-in ISDN Monitor firmware has fifteen
commands supporting customer program
development and download. The 256K x 16
Flash Memory is designed to support custom
control program downloading. By changing a
configuration pin, the XEISDNU5 can boot-up
from the ISDN Monitor or a user developed
program as well as the built-in ISDN control
program.

Design Considerations
ISDN Capability
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a powerful, flexible, high-speed service now available from
most local phone service providers in North America, Asia, and Europe. It provides two 64k bps digital
bearer channels (B channels) and one 16k bps signaling channel (D channel) over a single pair of copper
wires. Typically the installed base of subscriber loop wiring is adequate for this service, making ISDN the
most cost effective means of delivering high speed digital dial-up service to homes and businesses.
Because ISDN is a digital service, connection of computer equipment does not require a modem like a
conventional analog line. However a terminal adapter is required to translate the physical signal levels and
the protocols of the Data Terminal Equipment into those of the ISDN lines and switches. External ISDN
Terminal Adapters have been available for some time. The XEISDNU5 provides a simple means for
designers to implement an internal TA function without dedicating an entire board and a significant firmware
investment to this purpose.
Terminal Adapter Function
The XEISDNU5 integrated ISDN Terminal Adapter Module is designed to provide a compact, simple
design solution for adding ISDN service access to industrial, medical, computer, business, and consumer
products which need to communicate with remote computers or networks at high data rates. Only four
passive components must be added to implement the hardware interface, signaling and protocols for the
North American ISDN standard interface to the local telephone company.
When used alone the XEISDNU5 module presents a high speed digital data channel to the local host
equipment through a RS-232E ready* serial interface. This channel can be configured by the designer or
user for up to 64k bps synchronous transmission or up to 115,200 asynchronous operation (limited by the
speed of the host serial interface).
When combined with the XEISDNP Analog Telephone Equipment Interface, the XEISDNU5 can provide
either B channel ( on the same physical ISDN line) for simultaneous use by an independent analog phone,
fax, or modem designed for “Plain Old Telephone Service” (POTS). Thus the user can place voice calls
over the same ISDN line as data calls, and his investment in existing analog phone equipment is
preserved.
Modes of Operation
Application Mode
The normal mode of operation of the XEISDNU5 is Application Mode. This would typically be the only
mode visible to the equipment end user. When the CFG/SDO (pin 10) is pulled high, the XEISDNU5
module is in the Application mode. The ISDN configuration and control program supplied by XECOM or the
equipment designer’s specially developed control program will boot-up upon power-on. In this mode the
control program can occupy up to 240K x 16 of the 256K x 16 Flash memory.

Typical Application Circuit
See page 9 of this datasheet for a full-page schematic
Development Mode (ISDN Monitor)
XEISDNU5 also provides a development tool for designers who wish to write their own firmware control
code. When the CFG/SDO (pin 10) is pulled low, the module will boot-up from the on board ISDN Monitor
program. The XECOM ISDN Monitor has fifteen debugging commands including program downloading,
memory contents display and Flash memory operation. The complete command set is listed in the
Configuration Guide.
After the designer program has been developed and tested using the ISDN Monitor utility it can be
downloaded into non-volatile Flash memory. The module is then reconfigured to the Application Mode, and
the program is ready to run.
Configuration and Setup
An ISDN telephone line presents a significantly more powerful and complex interface to the user than a
standard analog (POTS) line. Unlike an analog line, the digital ISDN line requires special setup, demultiplexing, and signal processing to separate its two 64k bps data channels (B channels) and its 16k bps
signaling channel (D channel) at the user interface. In order to establish a connection to an ISDN line,
certain parameters must be exchanged between the telephone company switch and the local data
communication equipment to initialize the call. It is assumed here that the user has access to an already
installed ISDN line and the configuration parameters (Dial Numbers, Service Profile Identifiers, Switch
Type, Switch Version, Long Distance Carrier) provided by the phone company for that line. Further
information on these parameters is contained in the Configuration Guide.
In addition to the remote switch configuration, the local terminal adapter (TA), like an analog modem,
must be set up properly to operate. There are several parameters which must be set compatibly at the TA
and the switch to specify the exact services to be provided over the line. These parameters will vary with
the application. The XEISDNU5 implements these functions based on setup information provided by the
user. There are three methods for configuration of the link.
Page 8
Page 8 of 10 XEISDNU5
AT Command Configuration
The most basic configuration technique is through AT commands. The user interface is similar to that of
an analog modem with an extended command set. The user communicates this information to the module
through the RS-232E ready* serial port. A PC running standard VT100 compatible serial communications
software is typically used for this purpose. The AT command set of the XEISDNU5 is designed to enable
configuration and testing for both the remote switch and the terminal adapter.
Like an analog modem, the XEISDNU5 operates in two modes: data mode and command mode. In data
mode the device sends all data received at its data ports down the ISDN link. In command mode the TA
interprets these inputs as configuration and setup commands and processes them locally. Commands are
communicated to the TA via its RS-232 ready* serial interface from the local host processor. The TA enters
command mode upon power-on, any time the Escape command “+++” is received, or when a call is
terminated.
The commands for TA configuration are modeled on the standard set used for analog modems with
extensions for the new ISDN functions. Commands for remote switch configuration and the unique ISDN
functions required of the terminal adapter have been added. The XEISDNU5 firmware contains an AT
Command Help listing which can be displayed by typing “AT&H” while in command mode. The module will
respond with a listing of AT commands with brief definitions of each. The complete command set listing
appears in the Configuration Guide along with examples of configuration profiles for typical applications.
Menu Configuration
The second configuration method uses a group of Setup Menus built into the XEISDNU5 firmware.
These menus are accessed by entering the command “@SETUP” while the module is in Command Mode.
Keyboard commands from a PC in VT100 terminal emulation mode allow the user to move through the
complete set of configuration choices, enter variable data, and store the results. Operation of the Setup
Menus are explained in the Configuration Guide.
Stored Configurations
A complete set of configuration parameters must be in place each time the XEISDNU5 places a call.
However the current parameters are held in volatile memory and are lost when the host equipment power
is interrupted. Also, once a working configuration has been established for a particular ISDN line, terminal
equipment set, and service type there is no need to change it for each call. To speed up and/or automate
the call setup process stored configurations are provided in the XEISDNU5.
Two types of stored configurations are provided: factory defaults and user defined configurations.
Factory defaults are stored in Flash memory while user defined sets are stored in EEPROM. The factory
default configuration sets provided represent setups for common applications. Descriptions of these are
contained in the Configuration Guide. There are provisions for two user defined configuration sets. In
addition the settings associated with switch parameters are stored and accessed separately to help prevent
accidental changes. Extended AT commands are provided to store and load these configuration sets upon
power up or separately. These commands are detailed in the Configuration Guide.
