2.2 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Model 2701RC Series are single port E1/FE1 CSU/DSUs that provide
high-speed WAN connectivity in a rack card package. Connecting to the
serial WAN port of a switch, router or multiplexer, the NetLink-E1™ provides
E1 or FE1 access connection at data rates of 2.048 Mbps and nx64. The
Netlink-E1™ is an excellent choice when terminating leased line services,
Frame Relay backbones, internet access as well as LAN-to-LAN services.
The Netlink-E1™ provides digital access to local WAN services between
two facilities over a dedicated 4-Wire circuit. W AN bandwidth, framing and
coding options are programmed via internally accessible DIP switches, via
a VT -100 type termina l usi ng a Mo del 1 001CC c ontro l card, or SN MP man

agable through the 1001MC. With a 1001CC card, a terminal can manage
addressable 2701RC cards using menu driven controls. The Netlink-E1™
uses AMI and HDB3 line coding. Netlink-E1™ also supports a full range of
system and di agnostic features that ma k e s y st em s etup easy.
The NetLink-E1™ provides E1 terminations over a modular RJ-48C jack
or dual 75 Ohm BNC connectors when using the Model 1001RCM11575
(X.21 interface with dual BNC connectors). Power options include a si ngle
AC or DC or redundant AC/DC.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
The 2701RC features configuration capability via hardw are DIP switch es,
a software control port, or SNMP through the 1001MC. This section
describes all possible hardware and soft ware switch configurations of the
network connection.
NoteThe 2701RC factory default is set to DIP switch control. Soft-
ware control can be enabled either through the control port or
SNMP management station. Performing a hardware reset sets
the unit for dip switch control.
3.1 DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
The Model 2701RC has three 8-bit DIP switches that allow configuration for
a wide range of applications. The switches are accessed by removing the
card from the chassis.
Figure 1 shows the location of the DIP switches on
the top of the printed circuit board.
Figure 1. Model 2701RC Series top view showing location of DIP switches
DIP Switches S1, S2, and S3 can be configured as either “On” or “Off”.
Figure 2 shows the orientation of the DIP switches w ith respect to ON/OFF
positions. Default position and descriptions for Switches S1, S2, and S3
are provided on the following pages.
Figure 2. Close-up of DIP switches showing ON/OFF positions

NoteHardware reset allows users to put the 201RC under switch
control. You may force the unit to use the DIP switches as the
default configuration source by turning off the unit, setting all the
S3 DIP switches to the ON position, then powering on the unit.
This will cause the unit to enter a special mode. Then turn of f the
unit and change the switch settings to the off position. When you
turn the unit on again, the unit will be set up with the selected
switch settings.
3.2 SWITCHES S1-1 THROUGH S1-8
A detailed description of each switch (S1-1 through S1-8) setting fol lows
Table 1.
Use switch S1-1 to control the network line coding options. Set these
options to be the same as th e line cod ing g iven to you by your service pro
vider . If you are using two Mo del 2701RC s together as short range
modems, set both units to HDB3.
S1-1Line Encoding
-
HDB3. In this line coding, the transmitter substitutes a deliberate bipolar
violation when excessive zeros in the data stream are detected. The
receiver re cogni zes these spec ial v iolati on s and deco des t hem a s ze ros.
This method enables the network to meet minimum pulse density
requirements. unless AMI is required in your application, HDB3 should
be used whenever possible.
OFFHDB3

AMI. Alternate Mar k Inversion def ines a puls e as a “mark,” a binary one,
as opposed to a zero. In an E1 network connection, signals are transmit
ted as a sequence of ones and zeros. Ones are sent as pulses, and
zeros are sent as spaces, i.e., no pulse. Every other pulse is inverted
from the previous pulse in polarity, so that the signal can be effectively
transmitted. This means, however, that a long sequence of zeros in the
data stream will cause problems, since the NTU receiving 2.048 Mbps
clock. If you must use AMI, you should ensure that the data terminal
equipment connected to the unit provides a minimally acceptable pulse
density. For this reason, there are advantages to using HDB3 instead.
S1-2 and S1-3 Clock Modes
Set switch S1-2 and S1-3 to determine the 2701RC’s transmitter timing.
NoteWhen the data rate is set to 2.048 Mbps, the unit is forced into
G.703 mode, and it transmits user data on all 32 time-lots. There
is no framing information; therefore, the CRC4 MF (SW2-2)
switch is ignored. In all other rate settings, the unit employs
G.704 framing; TS0 is reserved for signaling.

3.3 SWITCHES S2-1 THROUGH S2-8
Switch S2-1: CAS Multiframe
CAS multiframe uses Timeslot 16 (TS16) to send multiframe (MF) alignment data. In CAS MF, a MF is d efined as 16 fra mes, whe re a f rame co nsists of 32 64-kbps timeslots, numbered 0 to 31. TS16 of the first frame in
the MF contains the CAS MF alignment word in the upper four bits. The
alignment word is always 0000 (binary). The 2701RC does not perform
any signaling in TS16 other than to insert the MF alignment word, in
order to maintain MF alignment. When CAS MF disabled, the unit transmits user data in TS16; therefore, up to 31 channels are available for
user data. When it is enabled, TS16 is not available to the user. In this
case, the user can us e up to 30 channels f or da ta. CAS MF can be used
with CRC-4 MF or by itself. When enabled, both units must employ CAS
MF; if one unit is set for CAS MF, and the oth er is not, the one us ing CAS
MF will detect a loss of sync.
Switch S2-2: CRC-4 Multiframe
In framed mode, S2-2 is used for CRC-4 MF. When CRC-4 is enabled,
the unit mon ito rs the i ncoming data stream for C RC-4 e rrors . I t transmits
CRC-4 error counts to the transmitting unit.. When using timeslot zero
(TS0), excessive errors may cause loss of frame or loss of sync. If CRC4 MF is used, both units must be set for set for CRC-4 MF. Otherwise,
the one using CRC-4 MF will detect loss of sync.

Switch S2-3: Remote Digital Loopback Type
The user can set this sw itch to select the type of remote loop that will be
initiated by the Model 2701. If set to V.54, the Model 2701 will initiate a
V.54 loop when Remote Loop is selected by the front panel switches. If
set to CSU, the Model 2701 will initiate a CSU loop when Remote Loop
is selected by the front panel switches.
S2-3RDL Type
OffInitiate a V.54 RDL loop when selected
OnInitiate a CSU loopback when selected
Switch S2-4: RDL Response
V.54 and CSU Loopbacks are special in-band loopback facility that
sends a pseudo-random pattern over the data stream. This is useful for
campus applications when you need to put a remote unit in loopback.
The unit responds to the V.54 loopback command, and the whole pro
cess takes only a few seconds to complete. When V.54 Loopback is disabled, the unit will not be able to send or respond to V.54 or CSU
loopback commands. The duration of the loopback is limited by the loop
back timeout setting.

setup through a VT-100 terminal using a 1001CC. When NMS (network
management station) is selected, configuration and status can be setup
and maintained through SNMP using a 1001MC. Please refer to the
1001MC user manual when using this mode.
NoteDIP switch configuration can be used regardless of the setting

Hardware reset. The Model 2701RC is set at the factory for DIP switch
control. If the user ha s c hanged con trol to NMS/VT-100, and then needs
to revert to DIP switch control, use the following p rocedure:
1. Pull the Model 2701RC out of the rack. Make a note of the DIP S1,
S2, and S3 settings.
2. Set S3 switches to the ON position.
3. Install the card into the rack and power up the unit.
4. Pull the card out again and change the switches to the desired set-
tings. The unit is now under DIP switch control.
5. Install the card back into the rack.
NMS/VT-100 Control. When switches S3-1 to S3-8 are set to a setting
other than the ones shown in
Table 4, the Model 2701RC enters NMS/
VT-100 control. While under NMS/VT-100 control, each of the Model
2701RC cards housed in a rack must have an address.
Table 5 and
Figure 3 show examples of address settings. The table follows the hexadecimal system, where switc h S3-1 is the leas t sign ifi cant bit (LSB), and
S3-8 is the most significant bit (MSB). A switch in the On position repre
sents binary zero, and Off represents binary one (see Figure 3).
Setting the card address. Table 5 and Fig ure 3 s how ex ampl es of how
to set a card address using switches S3-1 through S3-8. The addresses
are listed in their hexadecimal (hex) and corresponding decimal values.

The NetLink-E1™rack card features a VT-100 menu-driven system that
may be used for local configuration and management. Cards are config
ured and managed by sett ing a separate ad dress for each card using
hardware switches and then accessing each card using a rack mounted
NetLink Model 1001CC control card. The software management system
is described below. For more information on the Model 1001CC, please
refer to the Model 1001CC user manual.
-
NoteThe Model 1001CC uses an internal bus to communicate with
the 2701RC. When using software configuration, the rear card
for the 2701RC should be configured with FRGND and SGND
connected. Please see section 3.2 for more information on configuring your rear card.
Accessing the Menu System

Mbps clock. If you must use AMI, you should ensure that the data
terminal equipment connected to the unit provides a minimally
acceptable pulse density. For this reason, there are advantages to
using HDB3 instead.
Clocking: Network (default)
Options: Network, Internal, ExternalNetwork: This is the most com mo nly used setting when co nne cti ng
to a carrier’s network. In this mode, the unit recovers the clock from
the received signal and uses it to transmit data. In this way the unit
remains synchronized to a master clock. In campus applications,
one of the units must be set to Internal clock, and the other end is
set to Network clock. At all times, there must be only one clock
source. Othe rwis e, c lo ck s lips and framing errors and bit error s m ay
occur.
Internal: This is commonly used in campus applications, where the
unit is not conn ec ted to the publ ic telephone network di rec tly. In this
mode, the unit uses the on-board oscillator as the transmit clock
source.
External: In this mode, the u nit requ ires a clock s ignal fr om the DTE
via the external clock pin on the DTE interface connector. Most
applications will use Network or Internal clock mod es.
information. It operates independently of CAS MF. When CRC-4 is
enabled, the unit monitors the incoming data stream for CRC-4
errors. It transmits CRC-4 error counts to the transmitting unit .
Excessive errors may cause loss of frame or loss of sync. If CRC-4
MF is used, both units must be set for CRC-4 MF; otherwise, the
one using CRC-4 MF will detect a loss of sync.
CAS MF Setting: Disabled (default)
Options: Enabled, DisabledCAS MF: CAS multiframe uses Timeslot 16 (TS16) to send multi-
frame (MF) alignment data. In CAS MF, a MF is defined as 16
frames, where a fram e consi st s of 32 64kbp s tim eslo ts, numbered 0
to 31. TS16 of the first frame in the MF contains the CAS MF alignment word in the uppe r four bits . The alignme nt word is a lways 0000
(binary). The 2715 does not perform any signaling in TS16 other
than to insert the MF alignment word, in order to maintain MF alignment. When CAS MF dis abled , the unit trans mit s use r data in TS16;
therefore, up to 31 channels are available for user data. When it is
enabled, TS16 is not avail abl e to the user. In this case, the user can
use up to 30 channels for data. CAS MF can be used with CRC-4
MF or by itself. When enabled, both units must employ CAS MF; if
one unit is set fo r CAS MF, and the other is not, the one using
V.54 Loops: Enabled (default)
Options: Enabled, Disabled
This is a special in-band loopback facility that sends a special
pseudo-random pattern over the data stream. This is the only loop
back that the unit ca n ini tia t e. Th is is useful for campus applications
when you need to put a remote unit in loopback. The unit responds
to the V.54 loopback command, and the whole process takes only a
32
few seconds to co mp lete. When V. 5 4 Loo pback is disabled, t he un it
will not be able to s end or respond t o V.54 loopback comman ds. The
duration of the loopback is limited by the loopback timeout setting.
While V.54 is being activated, user data is overwritten.
Default Config Source: Switch (default)
Options: EEPROM, Switch
The Model 2701RC can be initialized via the configuration in the on-
board permanent memory (EEPROM) or via the internal DIP
switches (Switc h). Once th e unit is powered u p, you m ay chan ge the
settings through the control port or the DIP switches. When you
make changes through the control port, no changes will take place
or be saved to permanent memory until you Save Changes (Main
Menu option "d" + [Enter]). When you make changes through the
switches, all changes are made immediately.
NoteIf you do not have a terminal, you may force the unit to use the
DIP switches as the default configuration source by turning of f
the unit, setting all the DIP switches to the ON position, then
powering on the unit. This will cause the unit to enter a special
mode. Then turn off the unit and change the switch settings to
the desired settings. When you turn the unit on again, the unit
will be set up with the selected switch settings.

DS0 Channel Configuration Menu [Bandwidth/# Channels =
2,048k/na] (default).
The Channel Configuration Menu has a sub-menu that looks like
this:
2701RC
You may configure the Model 2701RC to operate with any combination of active and inactive DS0 channels in this screen. When you
execute the Save Changes command, the selected settings will be
saved to permanent memory, and the system will be updated to
operate with the new channe l settings.
NoteIn Unframed format, the Bandwidth Selected will display
“2.048k,” and the Total Channels will display “na.” When using
the DIP switches to set the bandwidth, the starting channel is
always channel 1 or 0.

Front Panel Switches: enabled (default)
Options: enabled, disabled
As the front panel switches may be inadvertently toggled, or in the
event that the end-user may not need to use the switches, the
installer may disable the front panel switches. Set switch S2-6 to
determine whethe r the front-panel toggle switches are enabled or

4.1 INSTALLING THE MODEL 2701RC INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 270 1RC is c omprise d o f a fron t card and a re ar card . The t wo
cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by way of
mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the following steps as a guideline for installing each Model 2701RC into the rack chassis:
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails
provided.
2. Secure the rear card using the metal screws provided.
3. Slide the card into the front of the chassis. It should meet the rear
card when it’s almost all the way into the chassis.
4. Push the front card gently into the card-edge receptacle of the rear
card. It should “click” into place.
5. Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
NoteSince the Model 1001R14 chassis allows “hot swapping” of
cards, it is not necessary to power down the rack when you
install or remove a Model 2701RC.
4.2 CONNECTING TO A DTE DEVICE
The serial port on most rear interface cards are hard-wired as “DCE”
(Data Circuit Terminating Equipment). The interfaces are designed to
plug into a DTE such as a terminal, PC or host computer. When making
the connection to your DTE device, use a “straight through” cable of the
shortest possible length--we recommend 6 feet or le ss. When purchas
ing or constructing an interface cable, refer to the pin diagrams in
Appendix D on page 63, Appendix E on page 64, Appendix F on
page 65, and Appendix G on page 66 as guides.
4.3 CONNECTING TO A DCE DEVICE
The rear interface cards on most interface modules are hard wired as
“DCE”. Therefore, you must use a nul l mode m cabl e when connectin g to
a modem or other DCE device. When purchasing or constructing a null
modem interface c abl e, use the pin diagrams in
Appendix E on p age 64,
Appendix F on page 65, and Appendix G on page 66 as a guide.
NotePin-out requirements for null modem applications vary between
equipment manufacturers. If you have any questions about a
specific installation, please contact Patton Electronics Technical
Support.

5.0 OPERATION
Once the NetLink-E1™ is installed and configured properly it is ready to
place into operation. This section describes the function of the LED indi
cators, and the use of the loopback and pattern test modes.
5.1 LED DESCRIPTIONS
The NetLink-E1™ is equipped with nine LED indicators that monitor the
status o f comm unic ation.
Figure 3 shows the l ocati on of the LEDs on the
NetLink-E1™ Series front panel.

LED is active only in active DS0 channels. In inactive chan
-
nels, the RXD LED is off.
LOSThe Loss of Sync LED lights when the unit loses synchroniza-
tion with the incomin g signal. This may happen when th ere is a
framing mismatch or a loss of signal. In unframed mode, the
LOS LED monitors the status of the transmit clock.
ALMThe alarm LED indicates the presence of a Blue or Yellow
Alarm, or Out of Frame condition. The ALM LED will blink on
every half-second. Alarms may occur due to:
• Loss of Synchronization
• Loss of Frame
• AIS (Blue Alarm)
• RAI (Yellow Alarm)
ERRThe error LED indicates various error conditions, including
framing bit errors, excessive zeros, controlled slips, severe
errors, or bit errors (when sending V.52 test patterns). When
sending a test pattern, the LED will remain lit if the unit does
not receive the identical pattern. When it receives the correct
pattern, the LED will turn off. If error insertion is on, the LED
will blink once a second if everything is operating properly.
TSTThe test indi cator LED blink s with a s peci fic p atte rn dep endin g
on the type of t est mo de. Whe n the unit is in lo cal an alog lo op,
the LED will blink on briefly. When the unit is in remote loop,
the TST LED will blink off briefly. When the unit is sending a
test pattern or is putting the remote unit into V.54/CSU loopback, the TST LED will stay on. These are the test modes:
• V.54/CSU Loopback & V.52 Patterns
• Local Loopback
PWRThe power indicator LED will remain lit while the unit is pow-
ered. It turns off when the unit is not powered.
5.2 LOOP (V.54 & TELCO) DIAGNOSTICS
The NetLink-E1™ offers three V.54 loop diagnostics and is compatible
with two Telco loop diagnostics. Use these diagnostics to test the CSU/
DSU and any communication links. These tests can be activated via the
software co ntro l port (see
on the serial port interface or the front panel switch.
“System Diagnostics” on page 35), via signals
54
Operating Local Loopback (LL)
The Local Loopback (LL) test checks the operation of the local NetLinkE1™, and is performed separately on each unit. Any data sent to the
local NetLink-E1™ in this test mode will be echoed (returned) back to the
user device (i.e., characters typed on the keyboard of a terminal will
appear on the terminal screen).

lead is the “LL” signal, refer to Appendix D on page 63.
—Toggle the front panel switch to the “Local” position.
2. Verify that the da ta terminal e quipment is op erating p roperly a nd can
be used for a test.
3. Perform a V.52 BER (bit error rate) test as described in section 5.3,
“Bit error rate (V.52) diagnostics” on page 57. If the BER test equipment indicates no faults, but the data terminal indicates a fault, follow the manufacturer’s checkout procedures for the data terminal.
Also, check the interface cable between the terminal and the
NetLink-E1.

Operating Remote Digital Loopback (RL)
The Remote Digital Loopback (RL) test checks the performance of both
the local and remote NetLink-E1™, as well as the communication link
between them. Any characters sent to the remote NetLink-E1™ in this
test mode will be returned back to the originating device (i.e, characters
typed on the keyboard of the lo cal term ina l will appear on the local term inal screen after having been passed to the remote NetLink-E1™ and
looped back).
Figure 5. Remote loopback
There are two Remote Loops that can be initiated from the NetLink-E1
unit:
• V.54 Loop
• CSU Loop
The user can s elect the t ype of loop that c an be ini tiated f rom the Sys tem
Diagnostics/Statistics screen or with Switch S2-1. Select “c” RDL Ty pe
and press the <spa ce bar> to toggle between the CSU lo op and th e V.54
loop. When a loopback is initiated this is the type of loop that the unit
uses to loop up the remote unit.
NoteThe NetLink-E1 will respond to both loops regardless of the
state of the RDL Type.
To perform an RDL test, follow these steps:
1. Activate RDL. This may be done in one of the following ways:
—Using the 1001CC, enter Remote Loop from the System
Diagnostics/Statistics menu and toggle the <Spacebar> until
“RL” appears next to the Remote Loop option.;
56
—Activate RL from the HTTP browser screens when using the
1001MC card
—Activate the “RL” signal on the DTE. If you are not sure which
lead is the “RL” signal, please refer to section Appendix D, “E1
Interface Pin Assignment” on page 63.
—Set the front panel switch to ‘Remote’.
2. Perform a bit error rate test (BER T) u sing the in ternal V.52 generato r
(as described in
section 5.3, “Bit error rate (V.52) diagnostics” on
page 57), or using a separate BER Tester. If the BER test indicates
a fault, and the Local Line Loopback test was successful for both
NetLinks, you may have a problem with the twisted pai r line connec
tion.
CSU Loop
The NetLink-E1™ also responds to central office initiated loop commands. The NetLink-E1 will implement the “loop up” command when it
recognizes the pattern “10000” in the data stream for a minimum of 5
seconds. The “l oop down” com mand is implemented by the p attern “100”
in the data stream for a minimum of 5 seconds.
-
The NetLink-E1 will respond to Universal Loopback De-activate to clear
all central office loops.
5.3 BIT ERROR RATE (V.52) DIAGNOSTICS
The NetLink-E1 offers three V.52 Bit Error Rate (BER) test patterns.
These test pat tern s may be invoked al ong with the LA L and RDL test s to
evaluate the unit(s) and the communication links.
When a 511 or 2047 test is invoked, the NetLink-E1 gener ates a p s eud orandom bit pattern of 511 bits, 20 47 bits or 220 bits, resp ec tiv el y, using a
mathematical polynomial. The receiving NetLink- E1 then decodes the
received bits using the same polynomial. If the received bits match the
agreed upon pseudo-random pattern, then the NetLink-E1™(s) and the
communication link(s) are functioning properly.
511Initiates a built-in 511 bit pseudo-random pattern
generator and detector.
2047Initiates a built-in 2047 bit pseudo-random pattern
generator and detector.
To perform a V.52 test, follow these steps:
1. Activate the local loopback or remote loopback diagnostic.
57
2. Activate the test pattern. This may be done in one of following ways:
—Enter Test Pattern from the System Diagnostics/Statistics
menu and toggle the <Spacebar> until the desired test pattern
appears.
One of two result codes will appear to the right of the Test
Pattern listing:
OK—Indicates that the received test pattern is error-free.
BE—Indicates that there are errors in the test pattern (to delib-
erately insert errors in the pattern, toggle Error Insertion to
ON).
—Using the HTTP/SNMP sc reen s, s el ec t the appropriate test pat-
tern.
—Toggle the front panel switch to either PAT or PAT/E (Test Pat-
tern with Error Injection).

CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Patton NetLi nk E1 ™ Se ries h as b een performa nce tested by Patton
technicians using twisted-pair cable with the following characteristics:
Wire GaugeCapacitanceResistance
19 AWG83nf/mi or 15.72 pf/ft.0.0163 ohms/ft.
22 AWG83nf/mi or 15.72 pf/ft.0.0326 ohms/ft.
24 AWG83nf/mi or 15.72 pf/ft.0.05165 ohms/ft.
To gain optimum performance from the Model 2701RC Series, please
keep the following guidelines in mind:
• Always use twisted-pair wire—this is not an option.
• Use twisted pair wire with a capacitance of 20pf/ft or less.
• Avoid twi st ed pair wire thinner than 26 A WG (i.e. avo id AWG numbers
higher than 26)
• Use of twisted pair with a resistance greater than the above specifications may cause a reduction in maximum distance obtainable. Functionality should not be affected.
• Many environmental factors can affect the maximum distance obtainable at a particular site.
