The DPRI 2922 applicat ion module working in conjunction with an
NCM 2000 controller mo dule provides your AS2000 system with
critical network backup capability that includes ISDN PRI access.
NOTE: The ISDN capability of the DPRI 2922 application modul e is onl y
accessible through the NCM 2000 Controller Menu.
The DPRI accepts high-speed data from local area networks, host
mainframes, and other types of data terminal equipment. The
aggregate data rate from terminal equipment can be one of the
following:
T1 TimeslotsData Rate
n = 1—23 or 1—24 dependin g
on NFAS configuration
n = 1—23 or 1—24 dependin g
on NFAS configuration
n × 56 kbit/s (up to 1.344 Mbit/s) (n = 1–
24)
n × 64 kbit/s (up to 1.536 Mbit/s) (n = 1–
24)
Applications
In dial-backup mode, the DPRI 2922 is useful as an alternate ISDN
route when regular T1 lines are unavailable. The DPRI 2922 also
provides the ability to designate a reserve leased T1 as a backup.

Configuring the DPRI 2922 Via the
NCM 2000 Craft Interface
For ISDN functionality, the DPRI 2922 Craft interface must be
accessed from the NCM 2000 module. This may be done with a
direct cable connecti on from the NCM 2000 module front panel to
an ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal emulator program, or
using the NCM 2000’s Telnet capability.
To set up the dial-backup circuit feature, please see Chapter 2,
“Creating an ISDN Dial-Backup Circuit”.
The following major functions are available through the Craft
interface:
•
T1 port, data port, and timing parameter configuration
Logging On
•
Network and data port diagnostics
•
Performance, status, and alarm monitoring
•
Circuit building, editing, and viewing
In addition to the Craft interface, you can use Verilink’s Node
Manager—a graphical user interface (GUI) management software
package—to configure the DP R I module. For more information, see

Line Coding: Use this option to choose Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) or
Bipolar Eight-Zero Substitution (B8ZS) as dictated by your T1 facility.
B8ZS is a protocol that replaces eight consecutive Zero bits with two
intentional bipolar violations (BPVs) that are not counted as errors by the
B8ZS equipment. B8ZS enables each DS0 to transmit at 64 kbit/s with
unlimited zeros. This option overrides any selected network density
enforcement.
AMI is a T1 signal in which successive Ones (pulses) alternate in polarity
and in which Zeros (spaces) are of zero amplitude. AMI is the original T1
line format that does not support long strings of zeros. Normally, this
option is used in conjunction with the network density enforcement option.
If the T1 facility experiences pattern sensitive errors or constant dribbling
errors, verify that the unit is not mis-optioned for AMI. The intentional
errors inserted by B8ZS equipment cannot be decoded by the AMI
equipment.
AMI requires use of an ISDN inverted D-channel.
Line Build Out: Line Build-Out is the signal strength used by the CSU and is
calculated by considering the length of the cable connecting the first line
repeater and the CSU. It is the db loss inserted to compensate for
transmitting levels to first repeaters w hen no network i nterface is in volved.
Choose one of the following options:
0 db: if the repeater is between 2000 and 3000 feet from the CSU, or if you
are using a network int erface unit (smart jack) used by m os t pho n e
companies.
-7.5 db: if the repeater is between 1000 and 1999 feet from the CSU.
This is the recommended option for IS DN.

-15 db: if the repeater is between 250 and 999 feet from the CSU.
-22.5 db: if the repeater is between 0 and 249 feet from the CSU.
Network Density: Use this option to specify the type of network density
n
enforcement to use with PRI line coding. Digital transmissions over public
switched telephone network lines cannot support long strings of zeros
(repeaters and clocking devices lose synchronization). Therefore, the
density algorithms ensure that a minimum pulse density is met to ensure
stable system timing.
Choose one of the following if using 64K AMI. Note that these options are
ignored with B8ZS line code:
None: does not ins ert a o ne.

TR 62411: inserts a one in to ev ery string of more than 15 consecutive
zeros or when there are less than a minimum number of N ones in every
window of 8(N+1) data bits (12.5%). N can be any value from 1 to 23. This
option is the same as 12.5% + 15 zeros.

If the primary source fails, the secondary source becomes the

Restore option is set to “Yes”, the primary source resumes service
as the DPRI module’s timing source. If the Auto Restore option is
set to “No”, the secondary source remains the timing source until
you manually reconfigure the primary source, or set its Auto

Clock Transmit (SCT) is used to clock data from the DTE into the DPRI module’s
data port transmit buffer. This is the default setting.
Inverted Serial Transmit (INV ST): In this mode, the inverted phase of the SCT is
used to clock data from the DTE into the DPRI module’s data port transmit
buffer—when compensating for phase delays (caused by using long cables) an d
when the far end is receiving bit errors. TT is a better alternative.
Terminal Timing (TT): In this mode, Serial Clock Transmit Extension (SCTE) is
used to clock data from the DTE into the DPRI module’s data port transmit
buffer. Normally, this clock is looped by the DTE from the SCT signal. It is the
preferred timing method because the transmit clock and data are alw ays in sync
regardless of cable length. Unfortunately, this signal is not provided by all DTE
equipment. Set this option in tail-circuit timing applications (when the data port
receives timing from another circuit).
Control Line Indicator (On E1 networks only): Use this option in the data port

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC): An error-checking algorithm performed on data
transmissions. On a frame-by-frame basis, a numerical value is derived from the data in the
bit stream at o ne end of trans mission. When each frame reaches the receive end, th e cy clic
redundancy check is calculated again and compared with the value generated by the
transmit-side data. Discrepancies can indicate one or more transmission errors. This counter
is only available in ESF mode.

Interpreting Alarms
Troubleshooting
Controller card(s) poll the various modules for alarms. If alarm
reporting is enable d for the node and for the module(s), the node
controller card retrieves and sends the alarm to Access Manager
2000, Node Manager 2000, or an SNMP agent. Various alarms can
also be set up via the NCM 2000 module to trigger the dial backup
or backup T1 as part of the Advanced Automatic Protection
Switching feature.
An alarm list is provided under th e alarms displays of the various
options of AM2000, NM2000, SNMP, or ASCII.
Alarms can also be automatically sent to a specified printer by
setting up the printer address in the various management utilities
menus.
The alarm buffer displays the following information about alarms
(This information may vary depending on the controller module
and management method used):

What To Do About Alarms
Some alarms clear after the user-configured timeout has expired.
Other alarms require co rrective action.
•
If an alarm has been cleared, no other action is required.
•
If there is a loopback present, unless you are intentionally
testing, remove the loopback. (Only if the loopback is from
your end. If the loop was initiated by your network service
provider, check with their test facility before taking down the
loop.)
•
For an LOF, you may have a telco or module problem. To test,
do an RLB. If there is no LOF indicated by the test, the problem
is with the telco.
•
For an LOS, check your router cables, power, and ports.
•
For a power-up self-test failure, reseat the module a few times
to see if it will power up and pass the self test. If it does not
pass after repeated self tests, replace the module.
Troubleshooting
Alarm Records
Every alarm record that displays is “active” in the database until
you do something about it. Do the following with the alarm
records:
•
Deactivating alarm records is a database management
function. As long as an alarm is active, you can view it
onscreen, using the one of the management options on the
ASCII interface, AM2000, or Node Manager 2000. When you
deactivate an alarm, it’s still in the database, but not viewable
on screen. Deactivated alarms can be archived, printed, or
deleted.
•
Archiving an alarm record stores it to a disk file you specify.
•
Printing an alarm record p rints a copy of all active and
deactivated alarms.
•
Deleting an alarm record re moves it from the database. To
delete an alarm, first d eactivate it.

Alarm List
Table 4-1Alarms
Alarm Classification/
Alarm TypeDescription
Fault conditions can result in critical, major, or minor alarms. In
addition, a fault condition can also result in a Carrier Failure Alarm
(CFA).
Critical Alarms
Carrier Failur e Alarm (CF A)
Major Alarms
Alarm TypeDescription
Loss of
Signal
(LOS)
A critical alarm indicates the node or node components ha ve failed. Only the
loss-of-clock (LOC) error condition triggers a critical alarm. This error causes
the system clock to fail and prevents data from being transmitted.
Loss-of-clock causes the System LED to flash red. It causes a major alarm and
activates the relay contacts on the rear connector panel of the CIM.
A carrier failure alarm (CFA) is activated w hen certain major alarm error
conditions occur, causing the port to disrupt traffic along the line. When the
CFA is activated, the line is not useable—preset by the user—for 2 to 60
seconds. All traffic is re m oved from the line. The alarm re mains active until
the port is reconfigured.
A major alarm fault condition seriously affects performance. It prevents data
from being reliably transmitted across the circuit. When a major alarm is
declared, the module sends a message to the ASC II interface and Node
Manager, lights the appropriate LED indicator, and trips the alarm relay. The
following error conditions must persist for at least one second for a major
alarm to be declared.
This condition occurs when the network signal is absent, and exceeds a
predefined loss-of-signal threshold. An LOS alarm on a network line is
declared when more than 175 consecutive zeros are detected on input to the
receiving equipment. An LOS after o ne continuous sec o nd causes a major
alarm and activates the relay contacts on the rear connector panel of the CIM.
This alarm activates the CFA if the LOS is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as
defined by the user).

Frame (LOF)
(T1 Only)
4-4Verilink DPRI 2922
Using an unframed ALL-ONEs bit pattern, an AIS alarm indicates that an alarm
condition exists upstream in a circuit leading to the downstream equipment.
This is also called an ALL-ONEs Keep-Alive or Red Alarm Signal. An AIS defect
is declared when there are 3 or fewer zeros in 512 bit times and an LOF
defect. It is cleared when there are 3 or more zeros in two frames or the LOF
defect no longer exist s .
This alarm activates the CFA if the AIS is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as
defined by the user).
This alarm is declared when a 3-second interval of continuous Out-Of-Frame
(OOF) or Loss-Of-Signal (LOS) state is detected. An LOF alarm is cleared when
at least 10 seconds of continuous non-LOS or non-LOF condition exists.
This alarm activates the CFA if the LOF is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as
defined by the user).

(E1 Only)
This condition occurs when three consecutive in-error frame alignment
signals (words) are received, or when Bit 2 in a frame containing the nonframe alignment signal (N FAS wor d ) is received in error three consecutive
times.
The condition clears when the following even ts are satisfied:
• The frame alignment signal is detected in frame N.
• The non-frame alignment signal 1 is detected in frame N+1.
• The frame alignment signal is detected in frame N+ 2.
Loss-of-frame alignment (LOFA) after one continuous second causes a major
alarm and activates the relay contacts on the rear connector panel of the CIM.
This alarm activates the CFA if the LOFA is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as
defined by the user).
This alarm indicates that the FAS error rate exceeds a user-selectable
threshold of 10
-3
or 10-6 for at least four seconds. This user-selectable al arm
can be designated as a major or minor alarm and activates the relay contacts
on the rear connector panel of the CIM.
This alarm activates the CFA if the FASER is active from 12 to 60 seconds (as
defined by the user).
This condition occurs when the module c anno t find the mul tiframe align ment
signal (MAS) pattern on TS16 when enabled for CAS signaling.
This alarm activates the CFA if the LOMA is active from 2 to 45 seconds (as
defined by the user).
Minor Alarms
Minor alarm fault c ond itio ns do not affec t traf fi c alo ng the network line . They
generate a minor alarm.
Alarm TypeDescription
Power
Supply
In redundant power supply configurations, this alarm indicates that one of the
redundant power supplies has failed or has been removed from the shelf.
Missing
Remote
Alarm
Indication
(RAI)
RAI. This alarm indicates that the remote end is in a state of alarm. A Remote
Alarm or Remote Alarm Indication is the alarm a receiving channel bank or
multiplexer sends to the other end of the circuit when it detects a Loss Of
Signal or Loss Of Frame. There is a 2- to 3-second integration period upon
detection of LOS or LOF before a Yellow Alarm is sent to the far-end
equipment. This condition is also referred to as a Yellow Alarm.
Bipolar

Second
(SES)
A violation of the T1 bipolar AMI transmission pattern requi ri ng successive
Ones (pulses) to be transmitted as pulses of opposite polarities. A BPV alar m
indicates transmission errors. However, B8ZS patterns contain intentional
BPVs that are not counted as errors.
15 min. Threshold/ SES 24 hr. Threshold—An SES alarm is declared when 320
or more ESF error events occur within one seco nd, o r when an OOF (Out- O fFrame Second) occurs. An SES is a one-second period containing greater than
30% errored blocks (more than 1 errored bit) or at least one Severely
Disturbed Period (SDP).
Bit Error
Rate (BER)
Threshold
The Bit Error Rate is the ratio of the number of bit errors received to the total
number of bits transmitted in a given interval. The BER threshold indicates the
level above which a CSU alarm is gen era ted an d repo rted .
