2.2 Shelf Power Loading
Up to 12 Access modules (or 6 Backup modules) can be fitted into
Cabletron Systems SBU14C Shelf, or 4 Access (or 2 Backup) modules in
a SBU6C Shelf.
The modules require the following current (in mA) on the power rails:
Type +5V +12V -12V
SBUQLS X21 275 0 0
SBUQLS V35 250 25 25
SBUQLS V24 250 25 25
SBUQHS X21 2,250 0 0
SBUQHS V35 2,200 25 25

SBUQLB X21 1,050 600 0
SBUQLB V35 930 880 50
SBUQLB V24 250 620 50
SBUQHB X21 2,830 600 0
SBUQHB V35 2,780 880 50
SBUQHB V24 2,250 620 50
When installing modules into the Shelf, the installation engineer must
ensure that the shelf power suppli es’ com bined out put c an m eet bot h the
overal l power requirements and the i ndividual rail current requirements
of all the cards in the shel f. (Please refer to t he r elevant manuals for thi s
infor mation on ot her c ar ds). This is true whether allowing for redundanc y
or not.
Details of the power supplies’ capacity are in the SBU Systems manual.
Warning:
The Shelf and cards should be professionally installed by a
competent engineer. There are no operator serviceable parts

2.3 Functional Description
2.3.1 SBUQLS
The SBUQLS provides call originate and answering facilities with
V.25
bis
, ‘X.21’, and ‘AT’ command sets, also C/DTR dialling and front
panel button cont rol. Mult iple dial stor es and CLID stores are prov ided
for each port.
2.3.2 SBUQHS
The SBUQHS prov ides C/DT R diall ing in addit ion to front panel di alling
control. Multiple dial stores and CLID stores are provided for each port.
Inv erse multipl exing i s provi ded for the f our user ports, each capabl e of
aggregating together up to thir ty 64kbit/ s IS DN ‘B ’ c hannels to provide an
N x 64 kbit/s stream, using ei ther all ‘B’ channel s for Mode 1, or N+1 ‘B’
channels for M ode 3. T he ex tra ‘B ’ channel in M ode 3 is requi red due to
synchronisation and channel aggregation management.
Two speed settings are available for each port:-
• The ‘desired’ speed
• The ‘fallback’ speed.
The ‘desired’ speed is the speed that t he user would pref er t o operate at ,
while the ‘fallback’ is the lowest that the user will tolerate. This feature
enables a requested speed for exam ple of 384 kbit/s to be negotiat ed.
However it will tolerate a specified minimum speed for example of
256 kbit/s which is acceptable for attached DTE equipment operation.
This met hod provides a reduced l ev el of service i f t here are onl y f our ‘B’
channels available on the system, rather than six as desired in this
example.

2.4 SBUQLB and SBUQHB
These units provide an additi onal 4 port s for connect ion t o the DLC, and
as a consequence occupy 2 slots of the shelf. Ful ly automatic backup
and restoral features are provided with these modules.
Rear card by-pass relays on all four pairs of ports allow for hardwire
through connection of the DLC to the User equipment in the event of
power failure to the shelf.
All the dial access facilities provided with SBUQLS are prov ided on the
SBUQLB and similarly for the SBUQHS and SBUQHB. Full backup
facilities are provided with the SBUQHS and SBUQHB.
2.4.1 Circuit Failure
Automatic backup due to detection of DLC fail ure occurs if any of the
following conditions are detected:
• No data is received from the DLC.
• No clock is detected from the DLC.
• The I/DSR signal from the DLC goes to the OFF condition.
• The C/DTR signal from the User DTE equipment goes to the ON
condition.
User selectable time-outs can be independently set for all of the
detection facilities mentioned, except C/DTR from the DTE.
2.4.2 Circuit Restoral
Automatic restoral is effected by passing ‘Talkwire’ over the DLC to
veri fy that an er ror free path has been re-gai ned, before switchi ng user
data back onto the DLC. The time for Talkwire to verify the DLC for
integrity can be set by the user.
2.5 Talkwire
Talkwire cal ls for m anagement or call control can be m ade or recei ved
on all ports simultaneously on the SBUQLS/QLB.
When a T al kwire cal l i s made t o the SB UQLS/ QLB in order t o ac cess it s

3.4.3.6 Time Windows menu
CAUTION:
Whenever setting up Time Windows, it is necessary to wait 1
minute after configuration, to ensure erroneous backup does
not occur outside the window times that have been set.
Erroneous backup can occur due to delay in the system with
recognising changed times.
It is also strongly advisable to test auto backup operation in all
time windows that have been set, to ensure the window
settings operate as desired. T hi s can be done by changing the
Manager card time and then checking all the window
boundaries. No one likes large ISDN call bills!

AT Call Control (SBUQLS/QLB)
80-14001000-03 6–1
6 AT Call Control (SBUQLS/QLB)
6.1 Command format
This call control method is only available with the SBUQLS/QLB.
Commands must begin with AT and be followed by a letter(s) and
sometimes a number(s)
e.g.
;
ATD 123456789<CR>
All spaces after AT will be ignored and the command must end with a
carriage return. When a number is expected and not returned then it
defaults to zero. Commands unknown to the SBUQLS/QLB will return
an OK so that existing packages with default configuration strings do not
receive large quantities of error messages.
Lines that are too long (greater than 40 characters) produce ERROR
messages as do incorrect commands.

7.1 I/DSR
I/DSR will be turned on:
At the end of call set-up to indicate to the DTE that the connection is
established and the Quad User Module is connected to line.
I/DSR will be turned off:
i) To indicate to the DTE that the call has been cleared down in the
data transfer phase.
ii) In response to a clear request by the DTE turning off circuit C/DTR
while in the data transfer mode.
7.2 C/DTR
C/DTR will be turned on by the DTE:
i) To instruct the Quad User Module to dial the pre-recorded number
over the ISDN as the calling party.
ii) To instruct the Quad User Module to answer an incoming call, if an
incoming call is present.

8 X.21 Call Control (SBUQLS/QLB)
8.1 Command format
This call control method is only available with the SBUQLS or SBUQLB.
The X.21 interface operates in circuit switched mode but it can also
handle enhanced subaddressing. Thi s enables it to be cont roll ed by the
DTE. Com mands and indicat ions will be encoded in the format specified
below. Any f ur ther inf or mation on t he foll owing c an be obtained from the
full X.21 specification.
Commands will not be echoed back to the screen, so you will only see
the SBUQLS/QLB’s responses to the command. All commands and
indications in X.21 are in synchronous format and are preceded by at
least two sync chars.
Message format:- <SYN><SYN><MESSAGE><+>
(Normally SYN=16

8.3 DTE Selection Signals
Dial number:
<number><+>
Dial specified number.
Dial address:
<.><address><+>
Dial number stored at specified store location.
Direct call registration:
<65></><1></><0></><number><-><+>
Enables the DTE to designate the number to which all calls will be
established when the selection signal phase is bypassed during call
verification. This programs the number into store 0 of the port
number store. Store 0 is always used as the default number if no
specific number is entered.
Direct call cancellation:
<65></><2><-><+>
Enables the DTE to delete the number from store 0. The DTE is
able to amend the designated address by performing a cancellation
procedure followed by a registration procedure.
Store number:
<66></><1></><address></><number><-><+>
Stores the number at the store location specified.
Cancel number:
<66></><2></><address><-><+>
Deletes the number from the store location specified.
Subaddress:
<9></><subaddress><-><+>
Sets a subaddress to be used by the next command.
The end of the command is indicated by <+>. If dial number or dial
address are used with other selecti on signal s, t hey m ust be pl aced at t he
end of the command string and pr eceded by <-> . Al l the ot her selecti on
signals must be separated by <,>
e.g.
9/A004,66/1/08/123456-344313+
This means store number and subaddress 123456/A004 at address 8
and then dial number 344313 with no subaddress.
