1.3 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The NetLink-T1™ Model 2710 Series generates and uses radio fre­quency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interfer­ence to radio and television reception. The Model 2710 Series has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the speciÞcations in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 2710 Series does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follow­ing measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equip­ment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).

1.5 INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE :

The Canadian Department of Communications label identiÞes certiÞed equipment. This certiÞcation means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety require­ments. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissi­ble to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications com­pany. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certi-
6
Þed connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above condition may not pre­vent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to some certiÞed equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alter­ations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe sys­tem, are connected together. This protection may be particularly impor­tant in rural areas.
Users should not attempt to make such connections them­selves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspec-

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The NetLink-T1™ Model 2710 Series are single port T1/FT1 CSU/DSUs that provide high-speed WAN connectivity in an ultra-compact housing. Plugging directly into the V.35 WAN port of a switch, router or multiplexer, the NetLink-T1™ provides T1 or FT1 access at connection at data rates of 1.544 Mbps, nx64, and nx56 (n=1 to 24 channels). The Netlink-T1™ is an excellent choice when terminating leased line services, Frame Relay backbones, internet access as well as LAN-to-LAN services.
The Netlink-T1™ provides digital access to a local WAN service provider or directly between two facilities over a dedicated 4-Wire circuit. LAN bandwidth, framing and coding options are programmed via internally accessible DIP switches or via a rear-mounted EIA-232 control port. The Netlink-T1™ supports D4/ESF framing options and AMI/B8ZS/B7ZS line coding. Netlink-T1™ also supports a full range of system and diagnostic features that make system setup easy.
8
The NetLink-T1™ provides T1 terminations over a modular RJ-48C jack and comply with jitter tolerance capabilities as speciÞed in ANSI T1.403 and AT&T TR62411. External power options include 120VAC and Uni­versal Interface 100-240VAC.

2.3 SUPPORTED APPLICATIONS

The NetLink-T1™ CSU/DSU provides a T1 (DS1) network termination between the service provider and customer premises equipment (CPE) such as a router. The Netlink-T1™ can also be used as a high-speed short haul modem for campus applications.

3.0 CONFIGURATION

The Model 2710 features conÞguration capability via hardware switches or a software control port. This section describes all possible hardware and software switch conÞgurations of the NetLink-T1™.

3.1 DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

The Model 2710 has eight internal DIP switches that allow conÞguration for a wide range of applications. The eight switches are accessed by opening the plastic case with a small screwdriver. Figure 1 (below) shows the location of the DIP switches on the bottom of the printed cir­cuit board.

Switch SW4: Line Framing and Coding

Use Switch SW4 to control the Network Line Framing and Coding Options. Set these options to be the same as the Line Framing and Cod­ing Options given to you by your Service Provider. If you are using two
Model 2710s together as short range modems, set both units identically.

Line Framing Options:
D4/Superframe:
The D4 framing format, as speciÞed in AT&T TR62411 is the standard in which twelve frames make up a super­frame. All signaling and synchronization are done in-band.
Extended Superframe:
Extended Superframe, as speciÞed in AT&T TR 54016, consists of twenty-four (24) T1 frames. The framing bits are now used for framing, CRC and the Facility Data Link (FDL). The FDL allows maintenance messages and information to be passed between the 2710 and the Central OfÞce.
Line Coding Options:
Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI):
This mode does not inherently account for ones density. To meet this requirement, each time slot can be reduced to 56 kbps and the Least SigniÞcant Bit (LSB) of each time slot set to one.
Bipolar 8 Zero Substitution (B8ZS):
This mode assures proper bit density in the data stream. In this mode any data pattern can be trans­mitted without causing ones density errors. This mode allows for 64 kbps clear channel timeslots.

Switch SW5: DS0 Channel Rate

Use Switch SW5 to set the DS0 rate.

Note
When using the Model 2710 as a high-speed short range modem, one unit of the link must be conÞgured in Internal Clock mode, and the opposite end unit must be conÞgured for Network Clock mode.

Switches SW7 and SW8: Line Build Out

Use Switches SW7 and SW8 to set the Line Build Out (LBO). The Line Build Out varies the pulse shape and attenuation of the signal sent to the network. The amount of Line Build Out depends on NetLink™ T1’s dis­tance to the last repeater. The telephone company providing the service
will advise on the amount of LBO necessary.

3.2 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

The NetLink-T1™ features a menu-driven command system that allows you to monitor/conÞgure its operating parameters. Follow the instruc­tions below to conÞgure the Model 2710 using the software switches:
1. Plug the 9-pin male end of the cable to your terminal or computer’s DB-9 serial port and start up the terminal emulator software if nec­essary. Plug the miniature stereo plug into the rear of the unit. The small recessed jack on the right side of the unit is the control port jack.
Note
If your terminal uses a DB-25 connector, please use a DB-9 to DB-25 Adapter to connect to the cable (See Model 18PC-M).
2. Power up the terminal and set its RS-232 port as follows:
9600 Baud 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity Local echo off ANSI or VT-100 emulation
3. Here is an example of a terminal emulator setup session. In normal font are the various parameter types. In bold type are the values that should be used for best results. Your terminal program’s setup screen may differ from this one:
