Cross-connect the MDF
The MDF cross-connects NE-A25B cables connect ed to SI LC and UILC
ports with building wiring connected to ISDN BRI terminals.
Each SILC provides eight four-wire full duple x ports. These ports are
connected to building wiring to form DSLs. These ports are polarit y sensitive.
Signal polarity must be maintained along each loop.
Each UILC provides eight two-wire full duplex ports. These ports are
connected to twist ed pair bui lding wiring to form DSLs. These DSLs are not
polarity sensitive and, although it is recommended, it is not necessary to
maintain signal polarity along each loop.

Connect the ISDN BRI terminals to the DSL
ISDN BRI terminals are connected to DSLs using modular cables up to 10
meters (33 feet) long, with RJ-45 plugs on each end. One end of the cable
plugs into the terminal and the other end plugs into the wall outle t.
Note: All ISDN BRI terminals should comply with CCITT, ANSI,
ETSI NET-3, INS NET-64, National ISDN, 1TR6, Numeris VN2, and
D70 standards for terminals, and be compatible with Meridian 1. For a
list of c o mp at ible ter minals, re f er to th e I SDN Ba sic Ra te Int erfa ce : Product Descri ption (553-3901-100).
Figure 9 illustrates a terminal connection to the S/T interface; Figure 10
illustra tes a ne twork termination (NT1) connection to the U interface.
1Plug one end of the modular cable into the ISDN BRI interface
connector on t he termi nal, a nd th e other e nd of the mod ula r cable into
the wall outlet.
2For an SILC S/T interface ter minal with an optional auxiliary power
source, pl ug the power source into the wall outlet, then plug the cable
into the power source's RJ-45 jack. This powe r sour ce m ust supply
power only to the local ISDN BRI term inal, not back into the DSL
through the RJ-45 wall outl et. The power adapter is supplied with the
terminal.
3Program the terminal parameters, such as the SPID and TEI, as
required by the type of t erminal. For detailed information p ert aining to
this procedur e, refer to the section “Initialize ISDN BRI terminals”,
found in ISDN B a s ic Rate In terface : Administration (553-3901-300).
4Repeat steps 1 and 3 for each termi nal to be connected.
—————————— End of Pr ocedure ——————————
Connect the terminating resistors
DSLs require that a termi nating resistor
(Part Number A0378866) be
connected at the end of each loop. See ISDN Basic Rate Interface: Product
Description (553-3901-100), for eng i neering rules and lo catio n s of
terminating resistors. The end of the S/T interface loop has a RJ-45 jack to
plug in the telep hone cable. Plug the terminating resis tor into the RJ-45 and
then plug the telephone cable in to the termin ating r esistor. No te that for every
port there is one loop with only one terminating resist or per loop. Each loop
may have up to eight telephones.

The following lists the proced ures for install ISDN BRI hardware for ISDN
BRI trunk applica tions. Meridian 1 must alre ady be installed and operating
according to the instructions in System Installation Procedur es
(553-3001-210) before performing these procedures.
For a successful installation, perf orm these procedures in the order listed
below:
1Sele ct the card slots where the I SDN BRI cards will be loc ated
2Inst all the MISP
3Install clock referencing on th e SI LC
4Install the SILC and /or UI LC
5Connect Meridian 1 to the MDF
6Cross-c onnect the MDF (in Terminal Equipment mode)
Note: The Meridian 1, in Tie trunk or CO connectivity, requires a
different wiri ng configuration than for a line applic ation; the tr ansmit and
receive pairs shou ld be reversed, as illustrated in Figure 12.
Select the card slots
Follow the same procedu res as described ea rlier for line appl ications (ref er to
“Sele ct th e card slots ” on page 15).
Remove the module cover for card installation
Follow the same procedu res as described ea rlier for line appl ications (ref er to
“Remove the module cover for card inst allation” on page 19).
Install the MISP
Follow the same procedu res as described ea rlier for line appl ications (ref er to
“Install the MI S P” on page 20).
Install the clock reference on the SILC
The DSL#0 and DSL#1 on an SILC card can be configured as the reference
clock source, with DS L#0 being assig ned for the primary c lock reference and
DSL#1 being assigned for the secondary clock reference.

Clock recovery
The SILC is configured in the slave-slave mode whe n act ing as a trunk
interface . This is set up through th e Maintenance Signaling Channel (MSC).
The microcontroller configures the S/T chips on the SILC as appropriate.
The SILC may recove r the netwo rk clock from t he received d ata strea m using
on-chip phase lock loops. The clock frequency which is recovered is 2.56
MHz. The jitter and wander conform to CCITT recommendations.
