DNI-1B
Telect’s Bantam Digital Network Interface Panel—the DNI-1B, PN 0107128-5001 (128 circuit) and 010-7112-5001 (112 circuit)—is a central interface point for networks that connect DS-1 signals from digital crossconnect system (DCS) circuits to network element (NE) circuits. As an extension to the backplane of DCS equipment, the DNI-1B allows circuit
configuration changes, maintenance, and troubleshooting without disrupting DCS operation.
Capabilities
•High circuit densities
•Circuit migration, system expansion
•Compatibility with all E-1/T-1 signal types and system software
•Circuit patching, troubleshooting, and monitoring
•Installation verification
•Integrated cable management

Features
•DDJ™ tri-jacks for IN, OUT, and MON ports
•Each circuit has two tri-jacks—one for DCS (NE-1) and one for network element (NE-2) circuits
•Circuit designation labels
•Hinged designation holders
•Four wire-wrap termination points for both NE-1 and NE-2
•Two wire-management tie-down bars
SYSTEM-LEVEL APPLICATIONS
DNI-1B
MAIN ASSEMBLIES
The DNI-1B allows maximum circuit density in EIA and WECO racks/
bays. The 112-circuit version fits 19" (48.3 cm) racks/bays; the 128-circuit
version fits 23" (58.4 cm) racks/bays. There are 56 sets of rear termination
points in the 112-circuit version and 64 sets in the 128-circuit version.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Location and Space
DNI-1B mounts flush into both unequal flange and equal flange (EIA or
WECO) racks/bays—the 112-circuit version in 19" (48.3 cm) bays, the
128—circuit version in 23" (58.4 cm) bays. Rack configuration is limited
mainly by the number of cables a bay can accommodate. Telect recommends a maximum of 22 DNI-1B panels per bay:
•Allows easy access for maintenance.
•Keeps the panels within reach.
•Provides enough room for cable routing.
Here are the DNI-3 space requirements:
In the above table, the first shaded row is the capacity for a 7-ft bay. The
second shaded row is the capacity for an 8-ft bay; the last shaded row is for
an 11.5-ft bay.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Mounting the DNI-1B
StepAction
1.Align the DNI-1B chassis mounting holes with the mounting holes
of the network bay/rack.
2.Install four mounting screws (two on each side) into the mounting
holes but do not completely tighten them.
3.Attach the hinged label holders to the
front of the panel.
a. Slip the eyehole in the center of the
holder over the head of the top
mounting screw.
b. Slide the holder down on the shaft of
c. Tighten both screws.
Cabling Procedure
StepAction
1.Route the DCS IN cables to one side of the network bay. Tie-wrap
the cables in place within the extender panel cable management
brackets.
2.Route the DCS OUT cables to the opposite side of the network bay;
tie-wrap them the same way.
3.Starting at the lowest DNI-1B panel in the bay/rack, lay the DCS IN
cables over the lower tie-down bar and connect them to the NE-1
IN termination points.
this screw so that the slot in the bottom fits over the shaft of the bottom
screw.

4.Secure the DCS IN cables to the tie-down bar.
5.Go to the next DNI1-B panel up and connect those DCS IN cables.
Continue the procedure, connecting all DCS IN cables.

6.Repeat Steps 2–5 for the DCS OUT cables, connecting them to the
NE-1 OUT termination points.
7.Route the NE IN cables to the same side of the network bay as the
DCS IN cables and the NE OUT cables to the same side as the DCS
OUT cables. Ti e-wrap the cabl es in place with in th e ext ender panel
cable management brackets.
8.Repeat steps 2–6 for the NE cables, connecting the NE IN cables to
the NE-2 IN termination points and the NE OUT cables to the NE-2
OUT termination points.
9.Identify circuits on the designation labels.

3Electrical Operation
DCS wires attach to the lower four wire-wrap termination points on the
rear of the DNI-1B panel (NE-1); the network element wires attach to the
upper four points (NE-2). OUT (transmit) circuits attach to the upper pair
of termination points; IN (receive) circuits attach to the lower pair.
Inside the DNI-1B, the DCS IN circuits are hard-wired to the NE OUT circuits and the NE IN circuits to the DCS OUT circuits (internal cross-connect, Tip-to-Tip and Ring-to-Ring):

2.Twist the plug on the other end of the cord so that its curved side is
in the opposite orientation—if the first plug’s curved side is up, the
second plug’s must be down. This is how you connect the IN of one
circuit to the OUT of another.
