Party Line Audio Transmission

A pair of Model LE200-RM Line Extenders provides full duplex party line audio between two Page/Party® system cables, for party lines 1–5. During on-hook conditions of the party lines (meaning no handset stations are in use), the LE200-RM will mute the local party line analog circuits. If it is necessary to have party line audio enabled even when no stations are off-hook, DIP switch SW6-3 may be closed to disable this muting feature. This switch affects the on-hook muting function of all five party lines simultaneously. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of switch SW6 on the Main PCBA and Table 10 below for setting options.

Contact Closure Inputs & Relay Outputs (I/0)
Five independent contact closures can be transmitted across a pair of Line Extenders meaning that an active input contact on the local Line Extender results in the corresponding output relay contact energizing on the remote Line Extender. Contact closures are bi-directional.
Example: Closing a switch contact across input #1 of the local Line Extender results in relay output #1 activating on the remote Line Extender and vice versa. When the input contact is removed the corresponding output relay de-activates. No switch or jumper setting is required on the Main PCBA for configuring the I/O feature.
OTE: Any active output contacts will deactivate if the data link is broken between the Line Extenders.
N
Echo Cancellation
Line echo (also known as electric or hybrid echo) is created by the electrical circuitry connected to a two­wire (full duplex) audio system. Echo is inherent in all full-duplex audio systems and is affected by the audio line length and line impedance mismatches. The presence of audible echoes results in undesirable audio quality. This kind of quality degradation is inherent in network equipment and end-user phone devices.
To minimize echo, the Model LE200-RM performs an echo cancellation sequence on party lines 1 through
5. The echo cancellation process takes approximately 15 seconds and is performed automatically one minute after power is applied to the LE200-RM. This delay allows all power levels to stabilize prior to performing echo cancellation.
OTE: Signal impulses are transmitted onto the party lines during the echo cancellation process. Handset
N
stations that are in use on a party line will hear the signals in the handset receiver. For troubleshooting purposes, the 1-minute delay may be disabled by closing DIP switch SW6 position 1. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of SW6 on the Main PCBA and Table 16 below for setting details.
Table 16. Echo Cancellation Power-On Delay Setting on Main PCBA
SW6-1 Echo Cancellation Power-On Delay
Open* 1 minute
Closed No delay
NOTES: 1. Changes to this parameter take effect when cycling power.
2. *Indicates default position.

Manual Initiation of Echo Canceling

Echo cancellation can be manually initiated as described below.
Press and release push button PB1 on the Main PCBA three times. The push button must be pressed for at least 0.25 second and no more than 2 seconds each time. The timing requirement is meant to prevent accidental requests. If an error is made with the push-button timing, the sequence must be repeated from the beginning.
The LEDs on the Main PCBA will indicate the progress of the echo canceling sequence. One column of LEDs turns on after each push button press release until the sequence is started. Once the sequence is started, those LEDs remain on, and a countdown timer is displayed on the remaining LEDs. The LEDs turn OFF after the echo cancellation training sequence is complete.

Data Links between Line Extenders

The LE200-RM is equipped with two different data link types for connecting to another Line Extender. The two data types are T1/E1 and Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS). The type of data connection(s) required is determined by the system architecture. It is possible to use both types at the same time to achieve complex system architectures. Each data type, the intended use, and the applicable switch settings are described below.

T1/E1 Data Link

The T1/E1 data link connection is the most common and is used when one pair of Model LE300 Line Extenders are connected in point to point system architecture over a long distance. The T1/E1 carrier technology uses dedicated copper cable or fiber optic cable when equipped with a T1/E1 fiber optic modem. The distance between Line Extenders determines the type of connection needed. Copper wire connections between the Line Extenders require a two-pair cable and will operate at a distance of up to 6000 feet using No. 22 AWG wire. For distances greater than 6000 feet, a T1/E1 fiber optic transceiver and fiber optic cable must be used.
OTE: The Model LE200-RM is NOT designed for use with the public switched telephone network.
N

Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVD S) Data Link

The LVDS data link connection is used to connect two or more LE200-RM Line Extenders in a “daisy chain” fashion when the Line Extenders are located within 10 meters of each other. The LVDS data link requires a straight-through CAT5e cable between Line Extenders. Each Line Extender contains an LVDS data “in” port and an LVDS data “out” port. The “out” port of the first Line Extender connects to the “in” port of the next Line Extender. This connection scheme can be used to link up to a maximum of eight Line Extenders and is typically used when multiple Line Extenders are installed in a central location.

Configuring the Data Links

The T1/E1 and LVDS data link parameters between Line Extenders must be configured using multiple DIP switch settings on the Main PCBA. The following sections describe each parameter and the switch settings.

T1/E1 Data Format Selection

The LE200-RM supports both T1 and E1data line connections between units. T1 is a digital circuit that uses the DS-1 (Digital Signaling level 1) signaling format to transmit voice/data at 1.544 Mbps. T1 can carry up to 24 digital channels for voice or data. E1 is the European equivalent of the T1, except E1 carries information at the rate of 2.048 Mbps. E1 is used to transmit 30 digital channels for voice or data plus one channel for signaling, and one channel for framing and maintenance.
DIP switch SW5 position 8 on the Main PCBA selects the data link format for the digital audio transmission between Line Extenders. Both Line Extenders must be set to the same format. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of SW5 on the Main PCBA and Table 17 below for setting details.
Table 17. Data Format Setting on Main PCBA
SW5-8 Format
Open* T1 Mode (1.544 Mbps, 24-channel)
Closed E1 Mode (2.048 Mbps, 32-channel)
NOTES: 1. Changes to this parameter take effect after cycling power.
2. *Indicates default position.

T1 Line Build-out Settings

This option allows the user to control the wave shape being output by the transmitter. This helps to correct problems related to long copper cables. Improperly setting this switch will cause signal degradation. The proper setting refers to the cable distance between two LE200-RM Line Extenders. If connecting to a fiber optic transceiver, it refers to the copper cable distance between the LE300-RM Main PCBA and the fiber optic transceiver and should be set to 0–133 feet (default setting). DIP switches SW2 positions 1–3 on the Main PCBA selects line-build out parameters. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of SW2 on the Main PCBA and Table 18 below for setting details.
Table 18. T1 Line Length Setting on Main PCBA
SW2-1 SW2-2 SW2-3 T1 Line Length
Open (up)* Open (up)* Open (up)* 0 to 133 feet

T1/E1 Receiver Equalization Gain Limit

This option allows the user to compensate for diminishing signal intensity over the data line by adjusting the sensitivity of the receiver. By setting the Receive Equalizer Gain Limit, very long copper lines can be utilized. DIP switch SW2 position 4 on the Main PCBA selects the parameter. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of SW2 on the Main PCBA and Table 19 below for setting details.

NOTES: 1. Changes to this parameter take effect without cycling power.
2. *Indicates default position.

T1/E1 Clock Source

For each pair of Line Extenders, one Line Extender must be the master clock source. The other unit must be the slave. The slave unit receives the clock from the master. DIP switch SW3 positions 1 and 2 on the Main PCBA selects T1/E1 clock parameters. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of SW3 on the Main PCBA and Table 20 below for setting details.

T1/E1 Data Line Grounding

T1/E1 data line can be floating or grounded. When floating, neither conductor of the data line cable pair is connected to ground. Headers P20 and P21 control the grounding of the T1/E1 lines. Grounding the T1/E1 lines may reduce emissions if it becomes an installation concern. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of P20 and P21 on the Main PCBA and Table 21 below for setting details.

NOTE

LVDS Data Link Settings

Do not ground the T1/E1 lines at both ends. Doing so will create a ground loop.
The LVDS “in” port is disabled unless it is receiving a signal from LVDS “out” from another Line Extender. Switch SW3 position 3 enables the LVDS “in” port. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of SW3 on the Main PCBA and Table 22 below for setting details.

NOTE
Do not connect LVDS “in” to LVDS “out” on the same Model LE200-RM. Doing so creates a feedback path that usually results in (extremely loud) oscillations on the page line, all party lines, and possibly the contact outputs.

LVDS Port Indicators

Each LVDS port has two LEDs. The green LED is ON when the LE200-RM detects a signal connection from the other LE200-RM connected to that port. The yellow/orange LED is ON when the LE200-RM detects page line data (SmartSeries FSK or 50 kHz VLC) on the LVDS port.

Rules for Interconnecting More than Two Model LE200-RMs

When connecting more than two Model LE200-RMs together, these rules must be followed.
A maximum of two Model LE200-RM pairs can be connected in series when the series connections
are made using Page/Party
®
cable as shown below.
Figure 10. Maximum Series Connections
When the Model LE200-RMs are connected in series, a problem can arise when training the echo cancellation. If more than one Model LE200-RM is training echo cancellation on a signal line at the same time, then none of them will train echo cancellation properly. To prevent this, power each Line Extender one at a time. Wait for the echo cancellation to complete on the first Line Extender before powering the second.
A maximum of eight pairs of Model LE200-RMs can be connected in parallel. Parallel connections
must be made using the LVDS link and the T1/E1 link as shown below.

Avoid having more than one Model LE200-RM connected to a particular Page/Party
cable. Instead,
use the LVDS link whenever possible.
Line extenders can NOT be wired in a loop architecture for redundant connections as shown below:

ground fault relay contact output.
When enabled, 50 kHz VLC signal on any page line is transmitted to all page lines. SmartSeries FSK data on any page line is transmitted to all page lines. Manual retraining of echo cancellation at one Model LE200-RM also requests it at all digitally
interconnected Model LE200-RMs.

Verifying the Proper Line Balance Resistance

For proper Line Extender operation, the line balance resistance, for both page and party lines, should be set close to 33 ohms. This can be done by enabling and adjusting the line balance potentiometers on the 69441-xxx terminal board using an ohmmeter.
When the line balance potentiometer is enabled, it is possible to measure the selected dc resistance directly. One side of the ohmmeter should connect to the exposed header pin on the header used to enable or disable the line balance potentiometer. The other side of the ohmmeter should connect to the side of the associated 15-ohm series resistor closest to the edge of the printed circuit board. Ensure the 15-ohm resistor is part of the measurement before adjusting the potentiometer for the correct resistance. All six circuits are symmetric and their signals have minimal overlap. If the incorrect series resistor is chosen, then the ohmmeter should read an open circuit.

Distributing Line Balance Resistance

As an increasing length of cable is added from the Line Extender the effects of cable resistance should be taken into consideration. The farther a Page/Party
®
station is connected to the system cable from the line balance resistance the greater the chance deficiencies in system behavior may occur. The station farthest away from the line balance will exhibit increased sidetone audio in the handset earpiece and will place higher than nominal levels of audio onto the system cable. Stations receiving this audio nearby will have louder than expected outputs. These same stations receiving audio from other stations near the line balance resistance will have lower than expected outputs due to the line loss of the cable resistance. A system showing these characteristics should have distributed line balancing.
For reference, if a line balance is installed at both ends of one mile of 18 gauge cable, then both line balances should be set to nominally 46.7 ohms. The one mile of cable provides approximately 33 ohms of resistance in each leg; the resulting series-parallel combination will result in the devices installed at both ends seeing a line impedance of approximately 33 ohms.
SmartSeries systems utilize FSK for communication on the page line between the stations and the Line Extender. Since FSK frequencies range between 31 kHz and 33 kHz instead of audio frequencies, the effects of longer cable lengths will present itself sooner. The higher frequency will lend to a greater probability that standing waves of the FSK signal will be present. The cable length, in addition to the number of cable branches present, will combine to determine the severity of these standing waves. Severe standing waves present on the line can cause a portion of the system devices to be unable to properly communicate with the Line Extender giving the need for distributing the line balance resistance.
Determining the cable resistance with any accuracy in installed systems is too difficult. Fortunately, the resistance values to be installed can be determined without using the cable resistance in the calculation, as precise accuracy is not necessary to achieve acceptable system functionality. The resistance values installed should always calculate to a nominal parallel resistance of 33 ohms. One of the line balance resistances can be the resistance included on the 69441-xxx terminal board, but it is not a requirement. It will provide a resistance up to 115 ohms determined by the position of the potentiometer. Examples of line balance resistances that could be installed are 51100 ohms, 6868 ohms or 100║100║100 ohms. It is best to install the line balance resistors as far apart from one another in cable distance as possible.

Fiber Optic Cable Connections

Model LE200-RM can be used with an optional fiber optic interface. This consists of a chassis (GTRFP6972-102) and either a multimode fiber transceiver (GTRFP6972-201) or a single mode fiber transceiver (GTRFP6972-202), as shown below in Figure 17.
Figure 17. T1/E1 Fiber Optic Transceiver (top view)
Transceiver GTRFP6972-201 requires multi-mode fiber optic cable and Transceiver GTRFP6972-202 requires single-mode fiber optic cable. With either model, the fibers must be terminated with ST-type connectors. The fiber optic cables between Line Extenders must be connected in a “cross-over” fashion meaning the Transmit (XMIT) port of Line Extender #1 connects to the Receive (RCV) port of Line Extender #2 and vice-versa as shown below.

These switches are factory set according to Table 32 below. It is recommended that the default configuration (passive mode) is used for most typical applications. Passive mode allows the fiber segment to pass data unchanged between the T1/E1 segments independent of the actual line coding (AMI, B8ZS, or HDB3). All errors and fault conditions from one T1/E1 end will pass through the fiber to the other end as if there were one long T1/E1 connection. Use these settings to insure proper operation of the Model LE200-RM Line Extender.

4. Wet contact input voltages are measured at the input terminals on the I/O Connection Module.
5. The “wet contact input closed voltage” may be difficult to achieve when connecting a bipolar open
collector output to a contact input.
6. A driving high wet contact input will source current to the LE200-RM when the LE200-RM is not
powered. This current may or may not prevent the LE200-RM from powering up properly.
7. Be aware of the ground loop(s) formed when using wet contact inputs.

Range dB (km) N
OTE: The maximum data transmission distance archived over a fiber optic link depends on many
factors, such as Transmit Power, Receiver Sensitivity / Saturation, the number of fiber connectors, splices and
cable type. Prior to designing or installing a fiber optic system, a loss budget analysis is
recommended to make certain the system will work over the proposed link. Both the passive and active components of the circuit have to be included in the budget loss calculation. Passive loss is made up of fiber loss, connector loss, and splice loss. Don't forget any couplers or splitters in the link. Active components are system gain, wavelength, transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, and dynamic range. Prior to system turn up, test the circuit with a source and FO power meter to ensure that it is within the loss budget. The following distance information is approximate and
based on an overall power loss budget.
GTRFP6972-102 chassis with GTRFP6972-201 transceiver (62/125 µm cable) 12 dB power budget (5 km)
GTRFP6972-102 chassis with GTRFP6972-201 transceiver (9/125 µm cable) 31 dB power budget (80 km)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does it take so long for the propagation of off-hook to on-hook transitions?
A: The line balance ac coupling capacitors take some time to charge. Also, the delay helps to prevent audio from looking like an on-hook condition.
Q: Why does it take so long for the propagation of the page line ground fault transitions?
A: If the delay was not there, then page line audio might appear to be a ground fault.
Q: Why is shielded cable specified for the LVDS cable?
A: To improve the link’s noise immunity. Most likely, the clock signal that controls one of the LE200­RM s passes over the LVDS cable.
Q: Is the LE200-RM compatible with the public switched telephone network?
A: No.
Q: Does the LE200-RM have on-board primary protection for the T1/E1 cable?
A: No.
Q: Why is the LE200-RM not compatible with the public switched telephone network?
A: (1) It is not approved for such use. (2) At a minimum, it does not support the facility data link transmission required for such use.
Q: Can I connect a Model LE300 to an LE200-RM?
A. Yes, these units are electrically compatible, only mechanical changes were made between the LE200 and LE300.
Q: Can I connect a Model LE300-MM or a Model LE300-SM to a LE200-RM
A. Yes. However an optional fiber optic transceiver will be required.
Q: Can I connect a Model LE200-RM to an LE100?
A: No, the T1 connection cannot be used to connect an LE200-RM to an LE100. However, an analog connection can be used, i.e., an LE200-RM and an LE100 can both connect to the same system cable.
Q: Can I have Model LE300, LE200 and LE100 Line Extenders in the same system?
A.: Yes, but the LE100s must be connected only to other LE100s and the LE300s and L200s must be connected together. Remember that the LE200 & LE300 fiber optic versions are NOT compatible
Q: What happens if the line balance is not installed?
A: A loud oscillation is heard on the audio line.
