Introduction to the TNE1544 and TNE1584

Paradyne’s TNE1544 and TNE1584 are loop bonding network extenders for Paradyne’s
12000 and 4000 IP Broadband Access Concentrators that provide up to 6 Mbps
(TNE1544) or 12 Mbps (TNE1584) of symmetrical bandwidth using T1 lines.

The TNE1544 features four T1 ports, and the TNE1584 eight T1 ports, each capable of
up to 1.5 Mbps bandwidth. When used with any Paradyne loop bonding compatible
product, one to eight ports may be used to deliver high-speed bandwidth at any given
distance. Paradyne’s loop bonded technology provides automatic load balancing and
fail-over for optimum redundancy and data throughput. In addition the TNE1544 and
TNE1584 support repeaters installed on the T1 loop, ensuring maximum distance and
flexibility.

The TNE1544 and TNE1584 can be connected to any combination of T1 uplink interface
modules, micro interface modules, and network extenders, so long as every connection
pairs a provider and a subscriber unit.

Package Contents

Unpack and Inspect the network extender. If there is any visible damage, do not attempt
to connect the device. Contact your sales or service provider.

Powering Up the Network Extender

The DC power terminal block on the network extender has five terminals: two positive,
two negative, and one ground. Only one positive terminal and one negative terminal pair
need be connected for operational purposes. The second positive and negative terminal
pair may be connected to a backup DC power supply for redundancy. The ground
terminal must be connected regardlessly. DO NOT OPERATE THE NETWORK
EXTENDER WITHOUT A GROUND CONNECTION.

Procedure

1. Loosen all screws at the top of the power terminal strip.

2. Insert your ground wire in the center terminal and tighten the screw.

3. Insert your positive and negative leads into the left or right + and – pair of terminals,

taking care to match polarity. Tighten the screws for those terminals.

Connecting the T1 Lines

The primary feature of the network extender is loop bonding capability, although both the
provider and subscriber units are able to function with a single T1 connection.

Loop Bonded Connection

Using multiple T1 lines for one network connection (loop bonding) multiplies the speed
and data passing capability of the network extender. Multiple T1 lines also act as a
backup should any of the lines become disabled.

A network extender can only establish loop bonded connections with other Paradyne
equipment with the loop bonding feature. See Product to Product T1 Loop Bonding
Compatibility (document number COMP-A2-GK43).

Procedure

1. Plug the T1 cables into the T1 Connections RJ45 ports on the back of the network
extender. The order of connection is not important.
