Safety

This equipment meets all applicable requirements of both the CSA C22.2 No.60950 and UL

60950.

The shock hazard symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert personnel to electrical shock hazard or equipment damage. The following precautions should also be observed when installing telephone equipment.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when working with telephone lines.

Danger: Risk of shock. Read and follow installation instructions carefully. Ensure the system and system expansion units are unplugged from the power socket and that any telephone or network cables are unplugged before opening the system or system expansion unit. If installation of additional hardware and /or servicing is required, disconnect all telephone cable connections prior to unplugging the system equipment. Ensure the system and system expansion units are plugged into the wall socket using a three-prong power cable before any telephone cables are connected.

Caution: Only qualified persons should service the system. The installation and service of this hardware is to be performed only by service personnel having appropriate training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons. Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunication network and AC mains are possible with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the system must be connected to an outlet with a third-wire ground. Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage currents becoming available on metal system surfaces during power line fault events near network lines. These leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth ground via the power cord. Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to an earthed outlet is performed first and removed last when cabling to the unit. Specifically, operations requiring the unit to be powered down must have the network connections (central office lines) removed first.

Chapter 1 Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the R2MFC card.

This chapter includes the following information:

• “General information”

• “Administration and maintenance tools” on page 20

• “R2MFC card faceplate elements” on page 20

General information

The R2MFC card is a digit trunk interface card (DTI card) that provides MFC-R2 connectivity over an E1 trunk. The card works as a converter between Euro-ISDN and MFC-R2 protocols, allowing the MFC-R2 protocol E1 to work directly with the Norstar system without the use of an external converter. The Norstar system recognizes the converter as a Euro-ISDN trunk DTI card and, therefore, provides all of the functionality on the MFC-R2 E1 that is available on a Euro-ISDN E1. The MFC-R2 trunk is controlled by DIP switches and the Command Line Interface (CLI) on the R2MFC card. Figure 1 provides an illustration of the R2MFC card.

Figure 1 R2MFC card

R2MFC Card Installation and Configuration Guide

20 Chapter 1 Overview

Administration and maintenance tools

R2MFC card configuration involves the following:

• Internal link configuration for the PRI internal link to the Norstar system. The internal link

uses preset characteristics and, therefore, does not require localization.

• External link configuration of the MFC-R2 E1 the external interface to public network. The

external link allows for localization in different countries.

External link configuration is performed using the DIP switches on the front of the R2MFC card or by using the CLI, which is accessed through a serial port on the faceplate of the R2MFC card. Internal link configuration is performed using a Norstar digital telephone set. Refer to

“Configuring the R2MFC card” on page 35 for information on how to use the configuration

tools.

Config DIP switches

Determine and set the Config DIP switches to the correct country code, and second dial tone setting for the R2MFC card. Predefined country codes are set by the Config DIP switches. Special configurations are set through the CLI. See “Configuring the R2MFC (external) link” on page 39 for a procedure on how to set the DIP switches for a predefined country code or how to create a special configuration to meet the installation needs.

The default country code setting is Mexico config 1. See Appendix A, “Config DIP switch settings

and definitions,” on page 77 for a list of the available country codes, the country default settings,

and the second dial tone settings.

Second dial tone, when turned on, generates and supplies a second dial tone to the end user, after the end user dials the trunk access code. The end user hears a dial tone between the last digit of the access code, indicating that a line was accessed. See “Turning on second dial tone” on page 45 for a procedure on how to set the DIP switches, and configure the Norstar system for second dial tone to work properly.

Warning: Leakage currents Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high-leakage currents becoming available on metal system surfaces during power line fault events on network lines. These leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth ground through the power cord. However, if the AC power is unplugged prior to disconnecting the cables from the front of the base function tray, high-leakage currents available on metal system surfaces can occur.

System shutdown: You must disconnect the R2MFC cardcables from the system before disconnecting the power cord from a grounded outlet.

System startup: You must reconnect the power cords to a grounded outlet before reconnecting the cables to an R2MFC card.

Danger: Electrical shock hazards

Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunications network and AC mains are possible with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, you must connect the Norstar system to an outlet with a third-wire ground. In addition, all unused slots must have blank faceplates installed. The covers on all units must be in place at the completion of any servicing.

Connecting an R2MFC card to a service provider

Warning: Electrical shock warning.

The Norstar R2MFC cards are safety-approved for installation into Norstar base units and expansion units. Both the installer and user are responsible to ensure that installation of the Norstar hardware does not compromise existing Safety approvals.

BEFORE YOU OPEN the Norstar base unit or Norstar expansion unit, ensure that the network telecom cables are unplugged, and that the unit is then disconnected from the AC power source.

Do not connect any telephones to wiring that runs outside the building.

Read and follow the installation instructions carefully.

Perform the following steps to connect an R2MFC card to the network:

1 Determine the connector type to be used, either RJ48C or BNC connectors. 2 Locate the appropriate connector on the front of the R2MFC card. 3 Attach the transmit BNC cable to the connector labeled Tx and the receive BNC cable to the

connector labeled Rx, for countries using BNC connections. Insert the connector into the RJ48 jack on the card, for countries using the RJ48 connections. Figure 8 on page 32 shows the wiring pinouts for an R2MFC card to connect to a service provider using RJ48 connectors.

4 Use a Norstar telset to configure the lines or sets associated with the R2MFC card. Refer to the

Norstar Installer guide for the host system for more information. Refer to the Norstar Installer guide for the host system for information on changing the default

settings for each line/loop.

Chapter 4 Configuring the R2MFC card

Trunk protocol conversion provides interworking between two different trunk protocols, and requires configuration for the following:

• E1- MFCR2

• E1- ETSI Euro-PRI

The R2MFC is the external interface. The external interface connects to a public network. The R2MFC card contains preprogrammed country-specific R2MFC settings that you can select using the DIP switches on the faceplate of the R2MFC card. The R2MFC settings can also be customized. The PRI is an internal link to the Norstar System. The PRI settings are configured to a predefined setting when the region is selected during Norstar System initialization. The PRI does not require customization, but it must be configured as detailed in “Configuring the PRI (internal)

link” on page 43.

This chapter lists the configurable parameters of both the R2MFC side and the PRI side of the R2MFC card, and explains how to configure them. Figure 10 provides an overview of the configuration process.

R2MFC side (External Link) configurable parameters

Physical line characteristics

The R2MFC card has two options for physical connections on the faceplate:

1 RJ-48 connector for twisted pair cable (line impedance of 120 Ohms) 2 a pair of mini BNC connectors for coax cables (line impedance of 75 Ohms)

The BNC connectors can have one of the following:

• TX shielding connected to ground (default)

• RX and TX shielding not connected to ground

Only one of the two connector types can be active. The default active interface is the BNC connector. The BCN connector is part of the country-specific defaults for Mexico variant 1. Each of the country codes activates the appropriate connector, based on the country standard for connectors.

The active interface can be customized in the firmware through the CLI by using commands in the COnfig directory.

E1 framing

The external link uses Channel Associated Signaling on timeslot 16, therefore; TS16 multiframe format is always used. In addition, optional CRC4 multiframe can be used (for monitoring digital transmission quality), instead of basic “alternate frame” format.

The CRC4 multiframe option is activated by the firmware as part of the country-specific defaults.

PCM coding is A-law.

These settings can be customized in the firmware through the CLI by using commands in the ALarm directory.

Note: Configure changes made to the framing parameters in both the R2MFC card and the Norstar System.

Line signaling

Line signaling (for example, seize, answer, and disconnect) are implemented by R2 Channel Associated Signaling known as ABCD bits. Only the two bits AB are used for line signaling. The state (value) of the bits indicate the signal.

N0087114 1.0

Chapter 4 Configuring the R2MFC card 37

The channels are always bidirectional, (that is, they accept incoming calls or originate outgoing calls). The channel behavior also supports one-way trunks. The direction of the signal does not need to be configured. Because the R2MFC card is passive, the R2MFC card does not initiate calls; it only passes call origination attempts from one side to the other. The R2MFC card assumes that the two sides (Norstar System and CO) respect the direction of the trunk as agreed between them.

The meaning of the bit states are part of the country-specific parameters; however, they can be customized through the CLI by using commands in the R2 directory.

The following are additional options included in country-specific parameters:

• use backward force-release signal to clear back (yes/no)

• release-guard state (timer) when clearing back (timer value)

• optional CD bits value (usually ignored)

Register signaling

Register signaling (digits transmission) is implemented by in-band dual-tone signals known as MFC-R2. Physically, there are 15 forward signals and 15 backward signals. The standard defines two stages of the signaling. The meaning of the signal depends on the stage and the direction of the call. In total, there are four tables of 15 signals each. See Appendix A, “Config DIP switch settings

and definitions,” on page 77 for MFC country-specific signal tables.

The meaning of MFC signals can be different when transmitted or received. MFC signal tables are part of the country-specific parameters. The meaning of the MFC signals in the R2MFC card are configurable through the CLI by using commands in the MFC directory.

The following are other options included in country-specific parameters:

End of dialing (incoming)

End of dialing for an incoming call can be configured by using the CLI. See Table 2, for the end of dialing options.

Table 2 Minimum (or fixed) number length + timer parameters (Sheet 1 of 2)

When a fixed length number is always expected, set the optional number of digits to 0.

Expiry of the long timer means MFC error - number incomplete.

Expiry of the short timer means end of dial.

End of dialing (outgoing)

End of dialing in outgoing calls is indicated by MFC signal “I15” (or equivalent country-specific signal). This signal is sent if the far-end requests next digit beyond the last digit of the dialed number.

When R2MFC card originates a call to the CO, the R2MFC card has already received the whole dialed number from the Norstar System. This is because the digits are passed from Norstar System to the R2MFC card by PRI “en-bloc.” This operation mode means that Norstar System determines user end-of-dialing either by number of digits, explicit input from user (for example, the “#” digit), or timeout.

Disable ANI

The ANI request option can be disabled. When disabled:

• Incoming call — R2MFC card does not request ANI.

• Outgoing call — When far end requests ANI, R2MFC card answers “ANI not available.”

Default category

The MFC subscriber category, sent by R2MFC card in outgoing calls, is fixed. The default category for all countries is II1 (subscriber without priority). If needed, the default can be changed by CLI.

Default subscriber status

The user can set default subscriber status (for example, free, busy, and vacant number) for incoming calls. When this feature is enabled, the R2MFC card in an incoming call sends the preset default subscriber status, instead of the status received from the PRI status.

N0087114 1.0

Chapter 4 Configuring the R2MFC card 39

The subscriber status option is not enabled in R2MFC card; therefore, the subscriber status is translated from ISDN message to MFC, and vice versa.

Configuring the R2MFC (external) link

The R2MFC (external) link is configured directly on the R2MFC card by setting DIP switches, and using a CLI on the R2MFC card. Standard predefined configurations already exist, and must be used, whenever possible. Country code configurations set by DIP switches, are hard-coded, and can be changed only by using the CLI. See “Setting Config DIP switches” for a description of how to set the predefined country code and second dial tone settings. The CLI can be used to create a customized country codes. See “Creating a customized country code” on page 40 for a procedure on how to create the customized country code.

Setting Config DIP switches

The Config DIP switch settings include diagnostic mode, country codes, and second dial tone. Country codes include the default settings for the connection (link) for the country selected. See

Appendix A, “Config DIP switch settings and definitions,” on page 77 for the country code DIP

switch settings and their specifications.

Perform the following steps to set the Config DIP switches:

1 Set the Config DIP switches to the appropriate country code and second dial tone setting that

coincides with your location.

Caution: Country configuration is read by the firmware upon power up or insertion into the ICS. Changing the country, while the R2MFC card is operating, causes the firmware to restart automatically after a delay of five seconds from the last DIP switch change. All active calls during the restart are dropped.

See Appendix A, “Config DIP switch settings and definitions,” on page 77 for predefined country code DIP switch settings and their specifications.

See “Turning on second dial tone” on page 45 for the procedure to turn on second dial tone. The Config DIP switch settings are divided into the following parts:

• country or diagnostics - DIP switch 1

• country code - DIP switches 2 through 5

• second dial tone (on/off) - DIP switch 6

Figure 11 on page 40 shows the Config DIP switch layout.

Note: Mexico Config 1 country code is the factory default setting. It is the setting used if an invalid country value is set, or if a custom profile is selected that does not exist.

2 Insert the R2MFC card into the Norstar ICS.

Creating a customized country code

If the R2MFC card required settings are not identical to any country code, customization can be performed using the CLI through the serial port. Perform the following steps for configuring the customized country codes:

1 Set the Config DIP switches to match the country code closest to customer requirements. See

Appendix A, “Config DIP switch settings and definitions,” on page 77.

2 Make the required modifications by CLI. See Chapter 6, “Command Line Interface (CLI),” on

page 59 for an explanation of how to access and navigate the CLI.

• Configuration changes made through the CLI immediately affect the operating parameters

in RAM.

• Use the SaveCfg - (save configuration permanently on flash) command to save the new

settings on non-volatile Flash memory.

N0087114 1.0

Chapter 4 Configuring the R2MFC card 41

The custom profile remains in EEPROM, even if different country codes are selected with the DIP switches, and is available again when the “custom profile” DIP switch setting is selected. The first configuration change by the CLI overwrites the existing custom profile as described above.

Note: Only one custom profile exists in EEPROM, so the SaveCfg command overwrites the previous custom profile saved to the EEPROM.

3 Set the Config DIP switches to custom profile. The new custom profile is used upon restart.

See Figure 12 for the custom profile DIP switch setting.

The only application where you might not have a DTI or a DTI card configured as PRI designated as primary reference is in a network where your Norstar system is connected back-to-back with another switch using a E1 link. If the other switch is loop-timed to your Norstar system, your DTI or DTI card configured as PRI can be designated as a timing master.

If your Norstar system has two or more DTIs, you cannot assign more than one DTI as primary reference, or all of the DTIs as secondary reference. You can only have one primary reference and one secondary reference per system. See E1 or ISDN-PRI configuration for more information

Second dial tone is only available on Norstar MICS 6.0 or higher. Second dial tone, when turned on, generates and supplies, a second dial tone to the end user, after the end user dials the trunk access code. Second dial tone can be used with any country code, including customized country codes. DIP switch 6 is designated for turning on or off second dial tone. Changes to the dial tone DIP switch become effective as soon as the DIP switch changes position, and does not require a restart to take effect.

Chapter 5 R2MFC card maintenance

This chapter describes the general maintenance of the R2MFC card after it is installed and is running properly. It includes the following sections:

• Inter-working functionality

• “Clock synchronization” on page 48

• “Diagnostic tools” on page 49

• “Alarms” on page 50

• “Faceplate LEDs” on page 53

• “Logs and traces” on page 54

• “Error messages” on page 54

• “Replacing an R2MFC card” on page 54

• “Upgrading firmware” on page 55

Inter-working functionality

All channels on both sides of the R2MFC card are bidirectional: they accept both incoming and outgoing calls. If unidirectional trunks are used, the direction is handled by the far ends (Norstar and CO); the direction need not be configured in the R2MFC card.

In order to handle bidirectional calls, and eliminate internal collisions (when both sides originate a call on the same channel simultaneously), the R2MFC card allows flexible channel inter working; calls originating on a channel can use any free channel on the opposite side.

On incoming calls to the Norstar, the far-end (for example, CO switch) selects the MFC channel. The R2MFC card presents the call to the Norstar by PRI and allows the Norstar to determine which channel to use.

On outgoing calls, the Norstar selects on which PRI channel the call starts. The R2MFC card selects a free MFC channel, and originates the outgoing call on it. For this purpose, the R2MFC card supports 3 search methods to select a free MFC channel:

• Round robin (default)

• Linear ascending

• Linear descending

The MFC channel selection method can be modified through the CLI. See Chapter 6, “Command

Line Interface (CLI),” on page 59 for commands available through the CLI.

Digital

R2MFC Card Installation and Configuration Guide

48 Chapter 5 R2MFC card maintenance

During call setup, the following information is passed between the Norstar and the CO:

1 Dialed digits — Dialed digits are passed without any change. Up to 24 digits can be dialed.

The MFC trunk is capable of repeating dialed digits on outgoing calls to the CO, when requested according to protocol.

Digits are passed immediately to Norstar as they are received (PRI overlap mode) on incoming calls from CO to Norstar. This causes the Norstar to determine end of dialing, and to immediately signal call completion.

2 Calling number — (in PRI: CLID; in MFC: ANI) This number is passed without any change,

and can be up to 16 digits long.

3 Termination status — Termination status is translated as presented in the Table 6. The table

Clock synchronization

By default, the R2MFC card synchronizes on the external E1 line, and transmits this clock on the internal link to the Norstar. By doing so, the Norstar can synchronize on the external link.

Slips can occur between the Norstar and the R2MFC card, if the Norstar must synchronize on another DTI card. To avoid slips, the R2MFC card must synchronize on the internal link to the Norstar, instead of the external E1 line. Synchronization settings can be set up by using the CLI. See Chapter 6, “Command Line Interface (CLI),” on page 59 for commands available through the CLI.

N0087114 1.0

Diagnostic tools

The R2MFC card has three diagnostic settings and two loopback settings available to help with the troubleshooting process. When the R2MFC card is running in diagnostic or loopback mode, the signals from the Norstar to the CO, or from the CO to the Norstar, can be intercepted by placing diagnostic equipment in the bantam jacks on the front of the R2MFC card. This allows the external R2MFC link, or the internal E1, to be checked for communication errors. The signal can be traced from start to finish, helping to determine the source of the errors.

Chapter 5 R2MFC card maintenance 49

See Table 7 for a description of the diagnostic and loopback modes.

Setting the R2MFC card to diagnostic or loopback mode

The R2MFC card is placed in diagnostic or loopback mode by setting the Config DIP switches in either the diagnostic or loopback position. Perform the following steps to set the R2MFC card into either diagnostic or loopback mode:

1 Set the Config DIP switches to the desired diagnostic or loopback mode while the R2MFC

card is still powered up. See See Appendix B, “Diagnostic and loopback DIP switch settings,”

on page 107.

The selected diagnostic or loopback mode becomes active five seconds after the last DIP switch change. The last country configuration stays in effect until a restart occurs.

2 Perform desired testing. 3 Reset the DIP switches back to the appropriate country code after testing has been completed

so that the correct country code is read upon a restart.

Warning: Restarting the R2MFC card, while the Config DIP switches are in a diagnostic or loopback mode, causes the R2MFC card to start up in the diagnostic or loopback mode with the default country setting of Mexico config 1.

Alarms

Performance is monitored on both the internal (PRI) and external (MFC) links, but the actions when errors occur are different. Alarms and events handling include three types of actions:

1 Propagating Alarms:

a Alerts the far-end by transmitting remote alarm indication (RAI). b Passes alarm conditions from link to link.

2 Reflecting alarm conditions on faceplate LEDs 3 Printing to error logs

Alarms Measurements

This section describes the mechanism and terminology of alarms measurements, and the actions taken when alarms occur or stop. Several performance indicators are monitored in order to detect E1 signal degradation; these indicators are categorized into two groups:

• Group I errors: These are events that can be counted, and are not continuous conditions. The number of events is counted, and is compared with thresholds (number of events in a specific time interval) used to evaluate the severity of the alarm condition.

• Group II errors: These are continuous conditions. These indicators can turn on and off rapidly, or they can remain on or off.

N0087114 1.0

Chapter 5 R2MFC card maintenance 51

Each group of performance indicators are handled differently.

Group I errors

Each error has two thresholds of error rate, which defines two levels of error severity:

• Maintenance — error exists but acceptable (service available)

• Out Of Service (OOS) — severe error (service not available)

Group I errors are the following:

1 Bipolar Violations (BPV) — Errors in the bits coding. 2 Frame Bit Error (FBER) — Errors in the frame alignment word. 3 SLIPs — The replication or deletion of the 256 payload bits of an E1 frame. This error

indicates that the local E1 clock is not synchronized with the far end.

4 CRC-4 errors — Received CRC code is not identical to a locally calculated code. This alarm

is only relevant when in CRC-4.

5 Far-end block error (FEBE) — Far end has detected a CRC-4 error. This alarm is only

relevant when in CRC-4.

Group II errors

Group II alarms occur when an alarm persists for a predefined period. The alarm is considered cleared when it does not occurred for a predefined period.

See Table 8 for incoming-signal Group II errors listed from highest to lowest priority. Group II errors are ordered by priority; when a high priority error exists, any errors of lower priority are irrelevant.

Table 23 includes the CLI commands for R2 line signaling. The commands are accessed from the R2 directory.

Table 23 R2 directory CLI commands (Sheet 1 of 2)

CLI command Description

Chapter 6 Command Line Interface (CLI) 73

RS <link> <line_signal_meaning> <R2_signal>

CD <link> <CD_bits_value> Sets a fixed value to be transmitted on CD bits.

Sets the R2 signaling values.

Where: link is the number of the link, 0 or 1. line_signal_meaning is one of the line signal meaning codes. R2_signal is the ABCD bits value of 0, 1, 2, or 3.

Use this command after clearing the R2 signaling value.

The R2 signaling values must follow these rules: FW_IDLE = BW_IDLE = FW_CLEAR_FORWARD FW_SEIZE != FW_IDLE FW_SEIZE != BW_BLOCK BW_SEIZE_ACK = BW_CLEAR_BACK = BW_BLOCK BW_SEIZE_ACK != BW_IDLE BW_SEIZE_ACK != FW_SEIZE BW_ANSWER: this signal must be different than all other BW signals. BW_FORCE_RELEASE: (if used) this signal must be different than all other

BW signals.

Where: link is the number of the link, 0 or 1. CD_bit_values is 0, 1, 2, or 3.

ER <mfc_link> Erases the R2 signaling table values.

Where: mfc_link is the number of the link, 0 or 1.

RingOpt <link><flag> Sets the ringing signal.

Where: link is the number of the link, 0 or 1. flag is either 0 (ringing signal is not used) or 1 (ringing signal is used).

74 Chapter 6 Command Line Interface (CLI)

Table 23 R2 directory CLI commands (Sheet 2 of 2)

CLI command Description

SeizeOption <link><flag> Sets seize interworking with opposite link upon detecting seize from far end.

Where: link is the number of the link, 0 or 1. flag is either 0 (seize process is autonomic) or 1 (seize process is

dependant).

Autonomic - link responds to seize without waiting for opposite link ack. Dependant - link waits for opposite link ack before sending its ack.

SzAckOpt <link><flag> Work with seize ack or not.

Where: link is the number of the link, 0 or 1. flag is either 0 (seize ack is not used) or 1 (seize ack is used).

SearchMode <link><mode> Sets MFC channel allocation mode.

Where: link is the number of the link, 0 or 1 (applicable to link 0 only). mode is either 0(round robin), 1 (linear ascending), or 2 (linear descending)

Round robin (default) - start search for next available channel after last channel used.

linear ascending - search for next available channel from channel 1 up. linear descending - search for next available channel from 30 down.

New defined mode is effective immediately after it is defined. It must be saved, by using the SaveCfg command, to remain in effect after a restart. The new mode is saved on the EEPROM, and is always in effect, regardless of the Config DIP switch settings (mode is not part of the country code configuration).

MFC register signaling

MFC signal definitions depends on the stage and the direction of the call; there are four tables of 15 signals each: the first stage uses I signals forward and A signals backward, and the second stage uses II signals forward and B signals backward. The meaning of the signals can also be different when being transmitted or received. Meanings of the MFC signals are configurable. MFC signal tables are part of the country-specific parameters.

Table 26 shows the MFC signal configuration in the R2MFC card accessed through the CLI for

Mexico Config 1. Table 27 shows the MFC transmitted signal configuration in the R2MFC card accessed through the CLI for Mexico Config 1. These values are preconfigured by the faceplate DIP switches as shown in Figure 17 on page 78. See Chapter 6, “Command Line Interface (CLI),”
