Overview
The E1 Network T ermination Unit (NTU) acts as an
interface between a High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line
(HDSL) network and the customer’s Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE), converting signals received from the
DTE into the two binary, one quaternary (2B1Q) signal
format for transmission over the HDSL network.
The E1 NTU’s G.703 DTE interface supports
2.048 Mbps (E1) data that is compatible with the signal
format of ITU Recommendation G.703 and the frame
structure of ITU Recommendation G.704.
In addition to the G.703 DTE interface, the 336x E1
NTUs have one to four EIA-530A synchronous data ports
that may be configured for rates of 64 kbps to 1984 kbps.
The 336x Series consists of a Model 3360 NTU
(2-port), a Model 3364 NTU (4-port), and a Model 3365
NTU (1-port). Differences between these models are
discussed where applicable throughout this guide.
Features
The E1 NTU optimizes network performance with a
wide range of features such as the following:
• Software configuration menu displayed via a liquid
crystal display (LCD) to permit quick and easy
operation, and elimination of complicated hardware
strapping.
• Local or remote configuration and operation
flexibility .
• Several loopback capabilities and test pattern
generators.
• G.703 DTE capability.
• Alarm message display/print capability.
• Front panel emulation via Windows-based Front
Panel Emulation software.
• Network management provided through
industry-standard Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
1-13360-A2-GB20-30 March 1999
ACCULINK 3360, 3364, and 3365 E1 NTU
G.703 DTE Interface
The G.703 DTE interface is compatible with the signal
format of ITU Recommendation G.703 and the frame
structure of ITU Recommendation G.704. This interface
allows DTEs/PBXs to share the network with other
high-speed equipment.
Alarm Message Capability
The E1 NTU can be attached, either locally or
remotely , to an ASCII terminal or printer to display or
print alarm messages. The communications (COM) port
can be used as the destination for Alarm Set and Alarm
Clear messages. This enables an ASCII terminal or printer
to monitor the E1 NTU for alarm conditions. Alarms can
also be displayed on a PC that is using a terminal
emulation package.
Front Panel Emulation
The E1 NTU offers functionality through Front Panel
Emulation software that is similar to that provided by the
E1 NTU front panel. The E1 NTU can either be locally or
remotely attached to a 386 or higher personal computer
(PC) that has at least four megabytes (MB) of
random-access memory (RAM). (An external modem is
required for remote attachment.) A copy of the E1 NTU
front panel appears on the PC. The functionality of the

SNMP Management Support
SNMP is a network management protocol that is used
to monitor network performance and status, and to report
alarms (i.e., traps). T o function, SNMP requires a manager
consisting of a software program housed within a
workstation or PC; an agent consisting of a software
program housed within a device (e.g., the E1 NTU); and a
Management Information Base (MIB) consisting of a
database of managed objects.
Users of the external SNMP manager can issue “Get”
and “Set” commands to an object in the SNMP database
maintained by the E1 NTU.
The E1 NTU supports the following MIBs:
• MIB II – Defines the general objects for use in
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) internets and provides general
information about the E1 NTU. MIB II is
backward-compatible with MIB I.
• DS1/E1 MIB – Defines objects for managing E1
interfaces and supports the network and G.703 DTE
interfaces on the E1 NTU.
• RS-232-like MIB – Defines objects for managing
RS-232-type interfaces (e.g., RS-422, RS-423, etc.)
and supports synchronous data ports (PORTs 1– 4)
and management communication ports (AUX and
COM ports) on the E1 NTU.
• Generic-Interface MIB Extensions – An
extension to MIB II that defines additional objects
for control of generic interfaces in MIB II. It
supports control of tests on the G.703 DTE and
synchronous data interfaces that are not supported
by other MIBs.
• Enterprise MIB – Defines objects that are unique
to Paradyne devices.
T wo link layer protocols, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
and Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), are supported for
connection to an external SNMP manager or network
device (e.g., a router).
The SNMP manager or network device can be directly
connected to the communications (COM) port. An
external LAN Adapter can be connected to either the
COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide Ethernet
connectivity. Also, the E1 NTU can be daisy chained
together by connecting the COM port of one device to the
AUX port of the other, providing SNMP connectivity.
The SNMP management system can communicate to
the E1 NTU remotely through the Facility Data Link
(FDL) or (for 2-port and 4-port E1 NTUs) the
synchronous data port’ s Embedded Data Link (EDL).
FDL provides an in-band channel for performance and
control signals on the network interface. It uses the spare
bit S
in time-slot zero as defined in ITU
a4
Recommendation G.704. EDL provides the ability to
detect and synchronize on a framing pattern, provides
cyclic redundancy checking (CRC), and maintains
near-end and far-end performance statistics.
The E1 NTU can be managed by any industry-standard
SNMP manager. Paradyne provides an SNMP application
that runs on a Hewlett-Packard HP OpenView network
management platform. For more information, refer to the
OpenLane DCE Manager User’s Guide.

Installation
Power-Up Self-Test
After you connect the E1 NTU to a power source, the
unit performs the power-up self-test to ensure that it is in
good working order. The E1 NTU performs this test on
itself upon power-up or after a device reset, unless it has
been disabled by the Self-T est configuration option (see
Appendix C, Configuration Options).
The self-test includes a basic processor test, a limited
memory test, a code checksum test, and basic verification
tests of the internal components. The front panel LCD
displays the progress and pass/fail status of these
power-up tests.
The power-up self-test consists of the following steps:
" Procedure
1. Once the E1 NTU is plugged in, the In Progress
screen appears and the Fail LED blinks ON and
Off continuously.
Self-Test:
In Progress
If the self-test fails, the Failed screen appears for
five seconds. The Fail LED lights, and an 8-digit
failure code (xxxxxxxx) is displayed for use by
service personnel to determine the cause of the
self-test failure. The E1 NTU continues to try to
operate. If you are in doubt about the results of the
self-test, use the Self-T est Health command to
display the status of this test (see the Self-Test
Health section in Chapter 4, Maintenance).

Overview
This chapter contains information for operating your
E1 NTU. It includes a description of the front panel and
sample procedures for configuring the E1 NTU.
Using the Front Panel
The E1 NTU front panel (Figure 3-1) consists of an
LCD, a keypad, test jacks, and 12 LEDs.
NOTE
You can display a graphical
representation of the E1 NTU
front panel on an attached PC

Operation
LCD
The LCD (Figure 3-2) displays two types of data:
• Messages such as alarms, command/test
completion, and action in progress
• Front panel menu tree information (see
Appendix A, Front Panel Menu)
F1 F2
Figure 3-2. LCD
The LCD displays status messages as requested via the
Device Health and Status branch of the front panel menu
(see the Device Health and Status section in Chapter 4,
Maintenance). In addition, the highest level status
message appears on the front panel automatically if no
front panel action has occurred at the E1 NTU for the past
five minutes.
The LCD also lists commands, configuration options,
and test results. In most cases, the top line shows the
command or option name and default value, while the
second line displays options and responses. When a
response is required, select from the options displayed
directly above the Function keys (F1, F2, F3); make your
choice by pressing the corresponding Function key.

Keypad
The 7-button keypad (Figure 3-3) enables you to
navigate through the menu tree and select choices
presented on the second line of the LCD.

Use the Function (F1, F2, F3) keys to make selections
from the choices presented on the second line of the LCD.
When this line presents choices, it is generally divided
into three sections, each displayed directly above one of
the Function keys. When your choice appears above one
of the Function keys, press that key to select that choice.

The scroll keys ( and ) serve one of two functions,
depending on whether a menu screen or a data entry
screen appears on the front panel.
For data entry screens, the
key scrolls one
character to the left while the key scrolls one
character to the right.
For menu screens, the key scrolls to the previous
menu choice while the
key scrolls to the next menu
choice.
If a choice is available to the left of the screen, the
character ← appears on the top line. If a choice is
available to the right of the screen, the → character
appears on the top line. If choices are available to both the
right and the left of the screen, two arrows appear (
).
The arrows indicate that you must use the scroll keys to
bring the additional options onto the screen.

LEDs
There are twelve LEDs on the E1 NTU front panel.
The five LEDs on the right (Figure 3-5) are shared
between the G.703 DTE port and the data ports. Refer to
the Selecting the G.703 DTE or Data Port for LED
Display section later in this chapter to choose which port’ s
status the LEDs display.
