Fea tures and Functions
The Model LE300-IP Page/Party® Line Extender provides the following features between Page/Party®
system cables.
Page Line Audio Transmission
A pair of Model LE300-IP Line Extenders provides page line audio transmission between two Page/Party®
system cables. This transmission is half-duplex operation.
When the line extender detects a peak audio level equal or above a Peak Voltage Level Detection
Threshold, it immediately switches audio “on” in that direction for the Transmission Direction Hold Time.
Audio from the other direction is muted and ignored during that time. Audio is not switched “off” until it
is continuously below the Peak Voltage Level Detection Threshold for the Transmission Direction Hold
Time. The DIP switch SW2 positions 5–7, located on the Main PCBA, selects Peak Voltage Level
Detection Threshold and Transmission Direction Hold Time. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of Switch
SW2 on the Main PCBA and Table 1 and Table 2 below for setting options.

Page Line Audio Monitoring Output
The Model LE300-IP Line Extender provides a balanced 600-ohm audio output for monitoring audio on
both the local and remote page lines. The LE300-IP mixes the local and remote page line audio and routes
it to the 600-ohm audio output terminals. This audio can be sent to any external audio device (recorder,
radio transmitter, amplifier, etc.) with an input impedance equal to or greater than 600 ohms. The audio
output gain is adjustable using DIP switch SW3 positions 5–8 on the Main PCBA. Refer to Figure 6 for
the location of Switch SW3 on the Main PCBA and the tables below for setting options.

Party Line Audio Transmission
A pair of Model LE300-IP Line Extenders provides full duplex party line audio between two Page/Party®
system cables, for party lines 1 through 5. During on-hook conditions of the party lines (meaning no
handset stations are in use), the LE300-IP 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.

Party Line Off-Hook Detection
The Model LE300-IP Line Extenders provide off-hook detection on the local Page/Party® system cable for
party lines 1 through 5. An off-hook condition means a handset station is in use. If multiple line extenders
are connected to the same Page/Party

Party Line Off-Hook Regeneration
When an off-hook handset station is detected, the LE300-IP can transmit the off-hook condition to remote
line extenders so that it is duplicated on the remote Page/Party
®
system cable. Typically this feature is
used in systems that contain a telephone interface device so that the caller is transferred to the party line
when a handset station answers the call. DIP switch SW6 position 2 is used to enable this feature. This
switch affects the off-hook regeneration function of all five party lines. Refer to Figure 6 for the location
SW6 on the Main PCBA and Table 12 below for setting options.
Table 12. Off-Hook Regeneration on Main PCBA

Audio Line Muting
In some line extender configurations using the LVDS data link, the Page/Party® system cable is not
connected to the line extender. In this case, all audio lines (page and party lines 1 through 5) should be
muted since they are not physically connected. DIP switch SW6 position 4 on the Main PCBA enables
this feature. If this feature is enabled, it is unnecessary to disconnect the audio lines using the audio line
relays (mentioned above). Refer to Figure 6 for the location of SW6 on the Main PCBA and Table 13
below for setting options.

Page/Party® Line Balance
For proper system operation, the page line and party lines 1 through 5 must be terminated with a resistance
of approximately 33 ohms. The Model LE300-IP provides potentiometers to set the line balance resistance
on the page line and five party lines. The line balance resistors are located on the Audio Termination
Connection Module next to the page and party line terminal blocks. The line balance resistors are
adjustable or can be disabled using shorting clips P1–P7.
If connecting an LE300-IP Line Extender to the same system cable segment as an ADVANCE Page/Party
Interface (PPI) card, disable the line balance for party lines 1, 2, and the page line. The PPI card provides
the line balance resistors for these audio lines. Refer to Figure 3 for the location of the Audio Termination
Connection Module. Refer to Figure 4 for the location of the jumpers and potentiometers on the Audio

Contact Closure Inputs & Relay Outputs (I/O)
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 between line extender pairs.
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 telephone
devices.
To minimize echo, the Model LE300-IP 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 LE300-IP. 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
station users on a party line will hear the signals in the handset receiver. For troubleshooting purposes, the

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 and 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 Model LE300-IP Line Extender is equipped with two different data link types for connecting to
another line extender. The two data link types are a T1/E1 link via the IP network and a Low Voltage
Differential Signaling (LVDS) link. The type of data link(s) used is determined by the system architecture.
It is possible to use both types at the same time to achieve complex system architectures. The data link
type, their intended use, and the applicable switch settings are described below.
T1/E1 over an Ethernet IP Network
This data link is used to connect two Model LE300-IP Line Extenders using an IP Network. The Model
LE300-IP contains an IPmux-24, which converts the data stream from its E1/T1 port into packets for
transmission over the network. These packets are transmitted via the Ethernet network port to a remote
LE300-IP device that receives the packets and converts them back to their original T1/E1 format.
The LE300-IP Line Extender should be connected to the closest Ethernet switch in the network. The
distance between LE300-IP Line Extender and the Ethernet switch determines the type of cable connection
needed. CAT5 or CAT6 cable can be used if the distance is <100 meters. The CAT5 or CAT6 cable
should be terminated with RJ-45 plugs for connection to the LE300-IP Line Extender and the Ethernet
switch.
For distances exceeding 100 meters, fiber optic cable must be used. When using fiber optic cable, a small
form-factor pluggable (SFP) module must be purchased separately and plugged into the IPmux-24 to
provide a termination point for the fiber cable inside the line extender. The optional SFP modules are
available for use with multi-mode fiber optic or single mode fiber optic cable. The SFP modules contain
LC-type fiber optic connector. Refer to the SFP data sheets for maximum cable distances.
Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVD S) Data Link
The LVDS data link connection is used to connect two or more Model LE300-IP 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 LE300-IP supports both T1 and E1 data 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 which 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.
In the case of LE300-IP, it is always be set to T1 (default setting). 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 LE300-IP Line Extenders. In the case of LE300-IP
Line Extenders it should always 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.

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.

T1/E1 Clock Source
In case of the LE300-IP, both Line Extenders should be set as the master clock source for proper operation
with the IPmux-24. The slave unit receives the clock from the master. DIP switch SW3 positions 1 and 2
on the Main PCBA select 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.

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.

The LVDS “out” port is disabled unless the line extender is transmitting an LVDS signal to another line
extender’s LVDS “in” port. Switch SW3 position 4 enables the LVDS “out” port. Refer to Figure 6 for
the location of SW3 on the Main PCBA and Table 23 below for setting details.

NOTE
Do not connect LVDS “in” to LVDS “out” on the same LE300-IP Line Extender.
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 LE300-IP detects a signal connection
from the other LE300-IPs connected to that port. The yellow/orange LED is ON when the LE300-IP
detects page line data (SmartSeries FSK or 50 kHz VLC) on the LVDS port.

IP Bandwidth Requirements
Each pair of LE300-IP Line Extenders requires approximately 3 Mb of bandwidth on the network. Actual
bandwidth usage can be adjusted via settings on the IPmux-24. Refer to the IPmux-24 user manual for
details.
Rules for Interconnecting More than Two Model LE300-IPs
When connecting more than two Model LE300-IPs together, these rules must be followed.
A maximum of two Model LE300-IP 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 Model LE300-IPs are connected in series, a problem can arise when training the echo
cancellation. If more than one Model LE300-IP 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 LE300-IPs can be connected in parallel. Parallel connections
must be made using the LVDS as shown below.

Page Line Audio Monitoring Connections
The Model LE300-IP provides a balanced 600-ohm audio output for monitoring audio on both the local
and remote page lines. Connect any external audio input device (audio recorder, radio transmitter,
amplifier, etc.) to the audio line monitoring terminals using a twisted pair cable. The input impedance of
the audio device should be 600 ohms or greater. Terminals are located at connector P16 on the Main
PCBA and are labeled as shown in Table 30 below.
Table 30.
Terminal Designator Description
P16-1 PG MON L2 Page line monitor audio output (L2)
P16-2 − No connection
P16-3 PG MON L1 Page line monitor audio output (L1)
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 51║100 ohms, 68║68 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.
Network Connections
Ethernet network connection to the LE300-IP Line Extender can be made using CAT 5e or CAT 6 copper
cable or fiber optic cable depending on the cable distance required. Each connection type is described
below. Refer to Figure 16–18 for network connections to the IPmux-24, which is mounted inside the
LE300-IP Line Extender.
Copper Cable Connections
Connect the LE300-IP Line Extender to the network Ethernet switch using CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable
terminated with an RJ-45 plug. The cable should be straight pinned following the EIA/TIA industry
standard for 568 A or B.
OTE: Cable distance must be <100 meters.

Fiber Optic Cable Connections
IPmux-24 uses SFP modules with LC-type fiber optic connectors to provide a fiber optic cable connection
to the network. Third-party SFP optical transceivers must be agency-approved, complying with the local
laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser equipment.
To install the SFP module:
1. Lock the wire latch of each SFP module by lifting it up until it clicks into place as illustrated.
Figure 17. SFP Module Installation
OTE: Some SFP models have a plastic door instead of a wire latch locking the SFP wire latch.
N
2. Carefully remove the dust covers from the SFP slot.
3. Insert the rear end of SFP into the socket labeled NET 1, and push slowly until the SFP clicks into
place. If you feel resistance before the connectors are fully mated, retract the SFP using the latch wire
as a pulling handle, and then repeat the procedure.
4. Remove the protective rubber caps from the SFP modules.

Configuring the IPmux-24
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you refer to the IPmux-24 manual, “IPmux-24 TDM
Pseudowire Access Gateway Installation and Operation Manual”, when configuring the LE300-IP
Line Extender. All the configuration parameters are explained in the IPmux-24 manual. The
information below is simply a quick start guide and includes only the basic operating parameters.
GAI-Tronics pre-configures the IPmux-24 to default management and operating parameters during testing
of the LE300-IP Line Extender. The default settings allow the IPmux-24 to be managed using a PC
running a Web browsing application connected to one of the user LAN ports. Refer to “Accessing the
Web Page” section below.
If replacing an IPmux-24 with a new unit directly from the manufacturer (RAD), initial configuration of
the management parameters must be performed using an ASCII terminal connected to the rear panel
CONTROL port. Once the IPmux-24 host IP parameters are set, it is possible to access the unit via Telnet
or a Web browsing application connected to one of the user LAN ports.
The following is a summary of the steps necessary to configure an IPmux-24 for management. Refer to
the IPmux-24 manual for details.
1. Connect an ASCII terminal to the RS-232 control port of IPmux-24.
2. Log in as Superuser (su).
3. Enable or disable the IPmux-24 DHCP client.
4. Assign a Host IP address to the IPmux-24 for management of the device.
5. Assign a subnet mask and a default gateway.
6. Configure the SNMP communities.
Make sure that you save your settings at each configuration screen.
Note on Terminal Emulation Software: In Windows 7 you will no longer find the HyperTerminal
program. There are several alternatives to HyperTerminal such as:
HyperTerminal Pr ivate Edition
– This is a commercial terminal emulation program that you can use
to communicate with serial COM ports, dial-up modems, and TCP/IP networks.
Putty
– A free Telnet and SSH implementation for Windows. It also is an xterm terminal emulator.

The maximum data transmission distance archived over a fiber optic link depends on many factors, such as
Transmit Power, Receiver Sensitivity /Saturation, 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, splice loss, 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. Refer to the RAD website for
specifications of SFP modules http://www.radusa.com/template.MEDIA_ITEM/6394_SFPs.pdf
