3.27
The common setting items for each LIF unit are as follows.
Clock source (+3BH):
The clock source is specified in the following clock mode.
•Automatically
•External clock of physical line number (1 to 16)
•Internal clock
Clock source mask:
The physical line required to mask can be specified by bit in automatic mode of

3.28
When two MCU 5000As are cascade-connected, the number of the
terminal in mu ltipoint teleconference become 14 terminals. Fig. 3-6 shows th e
cascade-connection of two MCU 5000As. One (Master) of two MCU 5000As
has the initiative contro ls to the other equipment (Slave).
3.29
The lines between the master and slave in near access is directly
connected with through-pass, and if require, also the console is connected with
through-pass. When two MCU 5000A are installed in far access (long distance),
they are con nected usi ng the existing line (Private or ISDN). In this case, the
console is connected via the modem.
3.30
In case of the multipoint or Tele-education connection, the slave terminal
stands by after issuing the cascade line connecting reservation command
(MCNR). Then the s lave re ceives the connect ing data after issuin g the c onnecting
command (MCON or ECON) from the master, and the line connection in the
slave side is completed. The reverse command issue order between the master
and slave is al so a ccepted. In this ca se, the teleconfe re nce terminals in the mast er
is first accepted. The terminals in the slave is just accepted at the time of the
command is sue of the sl ave.
3.31
After connecting, all of the teleconference control commands within the
group is entered f rom the master terminal . (not execute from the sl ave terminal.)
The command indication is displayed on the master side. The request from the
terminal (remote controller) is accepted at both of the master and slave the MCU
5000A.
3.32
One teleconference group is assigned to the slave MCU 5000A with the
connecting command entering. One MCU 5000A provides two teleconference
groups so that it can simultaneously contain both two groups of the slave and
master with another cascade-connection or multipoint teleconference. Refer to
Fig. 3-7. In this case, the teleconference group in the master side is used. (The
teleconference in the slave side is ignored.)

A: 1.5M LIF UnitGeneral
4.02
1.5M LIF unit receives AMI (B8ZS) signal from 1.544 Mbps
transmission line, extracts the clo ck pulse with IPAT (PEB2235), converts bipolar
signal to unipolar, and sends it to ACFA (PEB2035). ACFA detects frame
synchronization and transmission line fai lu re . ACFA converts incoming s ign al to
standard signal (Octet pulse 8 kHz, 4 MHz clock) within the equipment by the
elastic memory in LSI, and outputs to MTSC (PEB2045). MTSC arranges the
outgoing line (minimum 64 kbps: per 1 time slot) to out the signals from the four
transmission lines to the multipoint teleconference data bus with CPU control.
4.03
Contrariwise, MTSC arranges the outgoing line to send each signal from
the data bus to the corresponding ACFA, and send it. ACFA adds frame signal,
converts bit rate fr om 2.04 Mbps to 1.544 Mbps, and sends the converted s ignal to
IPAT. IPAT converts the signal from unipolar to 1.544 Mbps AMI (B8ZS), and
sends it to the transmission line. If a transmission line failure occurs the unit
sends RAI with CPU control. Furthermore, the loopback for line side and within
the equipment can be executed independently, and also the LED lights for line
failure.

G: A SUM Unit General
4.21
This unit provides the audio sum function for maximum 8 channels per
unit.
Function
(1) Audio Sum Dis tributing
The decoding PCM signal from the audio codec part (A CODEC unit) is
added with maximum 8 channels. The decoding PCM signal which is
processed with the sum is sent to the audio codec part (A CODEC unit).
The number of the summing channels is instructed from the control
processing part (M CONT unit).
(2) Load Control
The load value of each channel is determined with the comparison of the
audio signal and the audio level (maximum 8 channels per two
teleconferences). The processed signal is sent to the audio codec part (A
CODEC unit).
(3) Talker Identifying
The main talker is verified with the comparison for the talker and non-
talker signal from the audio codec part (A CODEC unit). The talker
change is notified to the control part (M CONT unit). The main talker
forced switching request does not affect the method. The identifying
method is as follows:
• When the talker is single, talker channel number is identified.
• When the talker is multiple, the channel number with the most of the past
continuous talker frame is identified.
• When no talker, the channel number of the former talker is identified.
• The initial value of channel number is “1”.
(4) Message Tone Insertion
The message tone (1200 Hz -10 dBm0 or + 1225 Hz -10 dBm0) is added
to PCM signal, and distribute to all of the teleconference channels.
(5) Monitor Output
The summing PCM signal (one of teleconference A or B) is converted to
analog signal and output to the front connector on the unit. (600 Ω
unbalanced). This function is used for test purpose.
Note:
This unit contains independent two systems for the functions above.
These functions i s a vai lable to the individual two tel econfe rences . Fig. 4-
11 and 4-12 show the block diagram of A SUM unit and voice signal
process unit respectively.

Multipoint Connection
7.03
Multipoint teleconfere nce is con trolled wit h the Conf erenc e Management
(CM) and multipoint Teleconference Control (TC) tasks. The conference is
controlled with two Teleconference Control (TCA/TCB) tasks individually,
therefore multipoint teleconferences of two groups can be held at the same time.
7.04
When Conference Management (CM) task receives request message for
multipoint connection from Console Control (CC) task, it activates the relating
tasks to lines (L M, LC, LX) first, and makes multipoint line conne ction with the
specified line rate. After that, it transfers the request message for multipoint
connection to multipoint Teleconference Control (TCA/TCB) task and transfers
the control to the task. Multipoint Teleconference Co ntrol (TCA/T CB) task
transfers the rec eived request messa ge for multipoi nt connection t o Picture Switch
(PS) task and Voice Control (VC) task. At t he same ti me Pictur e Switch ( PS) task
and Voice Control (VC) task is controlled to broadcast the picture and voice of
the terminal which receives the information message of CODEC alignment
recovery from BAS Driver (BD) task.
7.05
When these tasks, multipoint teleconference control task determines the
transmission rate and voice coding mode to exchange the capacity with CODEC
via BAS Driver (BD) task. Teleconference operating status is transferred to the
teleconference t erminals when r eceivin g the request message for con necting t o the
teleconference t ermina l fro m LAP-B dr iver. The following controls of mu lt ipoin t
teleconference with four terminals (ex ample) are pro vided.
Voice Signal
7.06
Among the line data of four terminals, the voice signal is received on A
CODEC unit via LIF unit and EC H221 MUX unit. A CODEC unit decodes the
coded voice signal and sends it to A SUM unit. A SUM unit sums voice signal
received from each termin al, and sends it back to each terminal. At that time, the
mixed voice signal (summed up voice signal of the terminals from the second to
the fourth) except the voice signal of the originating terminal (the first terminal)
is sent back to the originating terminal.
7.07
Namely, each terminal receives th e sum-processed voice signal of all
terminals by MCU 5000A except its own voice signal. The voice signal level
except that of picture broadcasting terminal is limited to lower level than that of
broadcasting terminal. The signal flow of voice signals are as shown in Fig. 7-2.

request-to-connect from Console Control (CC) task, it activates the relating tasks
to lines (LM, LC, LX) and exchanges lines with the specified bit rate. In this case,
the two conference terminals are connected with both ways.
7.11
When two points are connecte d, LIF unit out puts line data to the specified
channel of LB bus with CPU control. Line data is output to the line from LIF unit
of the specified channel through LB bus. Both two points receive the picture and

B: Picture Switching
Control
7.13
Switching Control of Picture display includes two modes, one is
automatic switching and the other is manual switching.
Automatic Switching Mode
7.14
The role of this mode is to recognize a terminal as a talker when voice
level of the terminal exceeds a definite value, and to broadcast the picture of the
terminal to each conference room automatically.
7.15
When the Voice Control (VC) task recognizes a talker by the interruption
caused by A SUM unit, talker detection message is transferred to a multipoint
Teleconference Control (TCA/TCB) task.
7.16
When the multipoint Teleconference Control (TCA/TC B) task recei ves
the talker detection message, it sends necessary message to each related task in
order to broadcast th e pi ct ure of the conference r oom where a talker is det ec ted t o
all the participating conference rooms.
7.17
First, in order to still the picture on screen momentarily, the
teleconference cont rol t ask sends a picture freeze c omma nd f rom EC H22 1 MUX
unit to picture codec of the terminals via BAS Driver (BD) task, and then Picture
Switch (PS) task switches picture broadcasting terminal with c ontrolling V SW/
LSD unit. Successively, Picture Switch (PS) task sends picture refresh command
to the broadcasting terminal via BD task. Voice control task mixes the voice
signals of all the participant terminals, however the voice signal of broadcasting
terminal is th e highest level.
Manual Switching Mode
7.18
The role of this mode is to switch a picture on screen with the command
sent from a MCU console of each conference room. Picture switching request
message from the terminals of each conference room is transferred to multipoint
teleconference control task through V SW/LSD unit and via LAP-B Driver (LD)
task.
7.19
When a picture switching command is entered from a console, it is
converted to picture switching request message with console control (CC) task
and moreover it is transferred to multipoint Teleconference Control (TCA/TCB)
task via Conference Management (CM) task.
7.20
According to those messages, multipoint Teleconference Control (TCA/
TCB) task controls picture switching similar to automatic switching mode, so as
to broadcast the picture of the specified conference room.

C: Voice Detection
Control
7.21
Voice Detection Control is carried out wi th the occurrence of i n t err upt ing
Voice Control (VC) task when a talker is detected on A CODEC unit. This
control is available to broadcast the picture of a primary talker on the above
mentioned automatic switching mode.

D: Teleconference
Terminal
Interface
7.22
The control command is multiplexed in the picture data (called MLP) and
transmitted from each conference terminal. At a receive terminal, this control
command is extracted from the picture dat a and taken into the LAP-B Drive r (LD)
task, where it is analyzed. Analyzed control command is transferred to the
electrical Whiteboard Control (BCA/B) task or the multipoint Teleconference
Control (TCA/B) task to processing the each task.
7.23
When the teleconference condition has changed, such as the number of
participating rooms and broadcasting location, the current teleconference
condition is informed by t he multipoi nt Teleconference Control (TCA/B) task, vi a
the LAP-B Driver (LD) task, to all the part icipating term inals. This informati on is
superimposed on the monitor display in the respectiv e rooms.

Loopback
7.29
The MCU loopback has two functions; one is to generate the test signal
and check the signal looped back inside of the equipment (Local Loopback) is
called the local side loop hereafter, the other is to loopback the external signal
outside of the equipment (Remote Loopback) is called remote side loopback
hereafter. The local side and remote side loops are set at points A to H as shown
in Fig. 7-9. Moreover, following functions to generate the test signal and check
the looped back signal (loopback test) are available:
•Video signal loopback test
•Audio signal loopback test
•LSD loopback test
•Console loopback test
7.30Video signal loop test:
The video signal loop test is carr ie d out usi ng the
PN pattern generator/che cke r in th e V SW/LSD IP unit. The PN patte rn from the
PN pattern generator is l oope d back at the preset loo pbac k point and inputted int o
the PN pattern checker, which checks the transmitted pattern with the received
one. When a line rate of 1.536 Mbps is selected for the loop test, the MUX strap
in the EC H221 MUX unit must be set to OFF position. The MCU software, the
Video Switch I/O (PS) task, controls the video signal loop test
7.31Video signal loop test:
The voice signal loop test is performed by using
the test tone generation mode function of the A CODEC unit. The output level
(0, -12, -24, -36 dBm0) and frequency (500, 800, 1000 and 1600 Hz) of test tone
are selected. The continuous output level of the test tone is measured, while the
level of looped-b ack test tone i s checke d. When t he level measureme nt is s elected
as the test, the measured leve l value is indicate d on the console displ ay . The MCU
software, Voice Control I/O (VC) task, controls the voice signal loop test.
7.32LSD loop t est (fo ur 00H to 7FH data flames ):
The LSD loop test is done
by the HSCX in the V SW/LSD IF unit. The LSD from the HSCX is looped back
at the preset loopback point and received by the HSCX. The received LSD is
checked with the transmitted LSD. The MCU software, LAP-B Driver (LD) task
controls th e LSD loop te st.
7.33Console loop test:
The console loop test is carried out by the Serial
Controller in the PG/SIO unit. The test loop is set automatically. Two loopback
points is se lected: one for the Serial Controller, the other for the control signal
test, which is located at the outside of RC-232C connector, When the loopback
point for control signa l test is speci fied, a loop co nnec tor must be connect ed. The
MCU software, Console Dri ver s 1 and 2 (CD1 and CD2) co ntr ol the console loop
test.

Function
7.44
The loopback point setting, the loopback test and loopback release
mentioned above are conducte d by the executi on of the MCU cons ole comma nds.
To conduct loopback test, it is necessary to set. However, the console loopback
test does not require the loopback point setting because it automatically sets
loopback points.
7.45
When power switch is turn- on, the self-diagnostic fo r the followi ng
hardware is performed.
•RAM test: Read/write test of RAM area is executed. If any error is
detected, the program activity is stopped.
•ROM test: The matching of the check sum and programed value is
verified. If any error detected, the program activity is stopped.
•Hardware initializing test: When initializing the har dware with program,
the normal initializing operation is verified. If any error is detected, the
critical error cause to stop the program activity, the minor error indicates
the alarm on the consol e.
•Unit inst allation tes t: Unit installation sta t e is verifie d. When any
necessary unit is not installed, the alarm is indicated on the console.
•System parameter back-up test: CRC in the system parameter area is
verified. When any error is recognized, and then the program activity is
stopped.
