This manual describes ho w to use the HDM 2180 DS3 DSU Craft
interface. As part of Verilink’s AS2000 mod ular platform, the HDM
2180 DS3 DSU pr ov id es a co n n e ct i o n between T3 circu i ts an d dat a
terminal equipment (DTE) and p rovides clear channel servi ce for up
to 28 T1 or 44.7 Mbit/s.
Clear-channel DS3 networking is used primarily with high-speed
router backbones and mainframe channel extenders. The highspeed capabilities of clear-channel DS3 networking provide the
bandwidth needed to meet the heavy demands of client-server
applications, such as CAD/CAM, video imaging, data warehousing,
data vaulting, and backup.
When the HDM 2180 is installed between large data centers it can
support mission-criti cal applications that mirror data between
mainframe computers or backbone routers. Installing a DS3 circuit
between data centers c an ensu re that informa tion is copied to both
locations.

Dedicated support is provided for Far End Alarm and Control
(FEAC) signals in C-bit parity applications. The third C-bit in Msubframe 1 of the DS3 frame provides the FEAC signal. A bitoriented message protocol (16 bit length) is used on the FEAC data
stream.
As a member of the AS2000 product family, the HDM 2180
incorporates Verilink’s Advanced Programmable Architecture
(APA).
With APA, you can download upgraded firmware to all HDM
modules on your shelves from a single NCM source into the
modules’ onboard RAM via FTP. The firmware contained in the
flash can also be field-replaced with upgraded chips.
The HDM 2180 can reside on the same shel f with all other AS2000
products; however, it does not pass data on the midplane and does
not use the TABS bus of the shelf midplane. The HDM 2180 is a
standalone system that can also be managed through the ACP bus
of the shelf midplan e by an NCM 2000 module. Ad vantages of using
the NCM module include:
Technical Desc rip t ion
The HDM 2180 consists of two components:
•
Higher security on the network with four levels of access using
password control (instead of only one access password).
•
Verilink’s proprietary overhead bandwidth signalling that
enables you to configure and troubleshoot the far-end node
without interference from repeaters in the network. (This
overhead bandwidth requires the C-bit parity format.)
•
Up to three users can access the module at a time.
•
Using the Advanced Programmable Architecture (APA) to
download upgrade firmware to all HDM 2180 modules within
or cross-shelf from a single NCM source.
•
The HDM can be managed with a graphical user int erface (GUI)
using Verilink’s Node Manager software application.
•
A front-panel module, which contains the DSU microprocessor
including firmware in flash, and
•
A detachable rear-panel connector interface module (CDM
2180), which contains a high-speed serial interface (HSSI) data
port and 75Ω coaxial transmit and receive network connectors
for the DS3 network interf ace.

Limitations
1-6Verilink HDM 2180 User M anual
These limitations apply when the HDM 2180 is used in a Dual-line
shelf. They must be observed to prevent intermittant data loss.
•
Because of heat build-up, only one HDM 2180 may be used in a
Dual-Line shelf.
•
Since the HDM 2180 draws more current than other AS2000
modules, two external power su pp lies must be use d whe never
an HDM 2180 is placed i n a Dual-line shelf. The power supplies
will not be fully redundant.
•
Whenever an HDM 2180 is used in a Dual-line shelf with an
NCM 2000 controller module, the HDM 2180 must be in the
first (left hand) slot and the NCM 2000 must be in the right
hand slot.

Using an NCM in your DS3 network offers several advantages:
• Higher security on the network with four levels of access using
password control.
• Verilink’s proprietary overhead bandwidth enables you to
configure and troubleshoot the far-end node without
interference from repeaters in the network. The “inband
channel” requires the C-bit parity format.
• Up to three users can access the DS3 module at a time.
The following commands are available on the Main Menu to set and
manage many of the HDM 2180 parameters (for more extensive

HDM 2180 SNMP
Physical
Interfaces
The SNMP port connects to an Ethernet segment connected to a PC
running a user-supplied SNMP application, such as Verilink’s Node
Manager. Using such an application and depending on the
Management Information Base (MIB) interfaces provided, you can
configure, control, and monitor the performance of an HDM 2180
circuit
HDM 2180 allows appropriate values to be assigned to and
collected from the co nfiguration management obj e cts defined in
the supported MIBs.
An integrated (embedded) SNMP agent is used in th e product. HDM
2180 is a separate manageable ne two rk entity under the SNMP
management application protocol. All configuration, control, and
monitoring elements handled via th e ASCII terminal a re available to
the SNMP agent. The embedded management services provide
information for network managers, system administrators,
customer service, field service personnel, and engineers to manage
the HDM 2180.
The only physical interface provided for SNMP on the circuit card
assembly is a 10Base-T Ethernet twisted pair implementation. A
SLIP interface is not supported.
Management
Protocols
HDM 2180 embedded SNMP supports SNMPv1. These standard
network management protocols support the following areas:
• Implementation of standard MIBs
• Implementation of enterprise-specific MIBs
• Remote booting
• Configuration Management
• Operator-selected saving of card configuration management
objects and default settings into non-volatile storage onboard
• During normal restart, in the absence of valid non-volatile
configuration managemen t o bj e cts, the HDM 2180 assumes a
default configuration.
• Alarm and fault reporting and management, remote system
diagnostics
• Embedded management offers exte nsi ve diagnostics. Alarms
are offered through SNMPv1 generic traps with additional
alarm information available through Verilink enterprise
specific traps.
• HDM 2180 reports faults by send ing the generi c SNMPv 1 traps
to appropriate SNMPv1 node management systems.
• Security Management

Troubleshooting
What Elicits an Alarm
The NCM 2000 module polls the H DM 2180 modules for alarms.
If alarm reporting is enable d for the node and for the HDM 2180,
the NCM retrieves and sends alarms to the Craft Interface, Node
Manager, or an SNMP agent where they can be viewed.
Alarms can also be automatically sent to a specified printer by
setting up the printer address in the various management utilities
menus. See the appropriate management utility user manual for
information on how to do this.

• Whenever the system powers up and any module performs a
self-test
• Power supply input is lost
• A default or user-designated threshold is exceeded
• A Yellow Alarm is received from the network
• An unframed all-ones or alarm indi cation signal (AIS) is
reveived from the network
• There is a loss of signal (LOS) or loss of frame (LOF)
• A CSU or DIU loopback is present
• A module fails
• A module is removed from the shelf
On any of the various listings of the alarms being received by the
NCM for the HDM, the alarm listing will generally show the
following information about the alarms (This may vary depending
on the management method you are using).

Description
Classifications
Problem Types
The Alarm Description column lists the text that is
• printed on the display
• sent to the alarm printer (i f using Node Manager or SNMP
agent)
• saved to the alarm buffer/database
Verilink classifies alarms into the following Severities:
• Critical
• Major
• Minor
• Warning
• Info
• Cleared
These classifications are further categorized into the Proble m
Types:
• LOS—Loss of Signal
• LOF—Loss of Frame
• Error
• Call Setup
What To Do About Alarms
Some alarms will clear after the user-configured timeout has
expired. Other alarms require you to take corrective action.
• If an alarm has been cleared, no other action is required.
• If there is a loopback present (unless you are intentially
testing), remove the loopback. (Only if the loopback is from
your end. If it is from your telco, you may need to verify the
loopback with them.)
• If you have a Loss of Frame (LOF), yo u may have a telco or
module problem. To test, do a Repeater Loopback (RLB) to test
for LOF. If there is no LOF indicated by the test, th e problem is
with the telco.
• If you have a Loss of Signal (LOS), check your router cables,
power, and ports.

Troubleshooting
• If you have a Powerup Self-test Fail, reseat the module to see if
it will power up and pass the self test. If it does not pass after
repeated self tests, replace the module.
Alarm Records
Interpreting Alarms
Every alarm record that ap pears on your screen is “acti v e ” in the
database until you do something about it. You can 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 on
screen, using one of the management options on the Craft
interface or Node Manager. When you deactivate an alarm, it’s
still in the database, but not viewable on screen. Deactivated
alarms can be subsequently 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, you must first deactivate it.
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
Major Alarms
A critical alarm indicates that the node or components of the node
have failed. The following alarms are classified as critical :
• Alarm Indication Signal Second (AIS S)—A second when the
CSU receives an unframed all-ones Alarm Indication Signal
(AIS) from the network.
• Loss of Fram e Second (LOF S)—A LOFS is the total number of
seconds that the CSU was in the Loss of Frame (LOF) state.
• Loss of Signal Second (LOSS)—A LOSS is a second during
which the CSU is in a Loss of Signal (LOS) state.
• Severely Errored Framing Second (SEFS)—The second in
which two or more framing bit errors occur within a 3millisecond period.
A major alarm indi cates a condit ion where perfo rmance is serio usly
affected, for example, a T3 line failure. It prevents data from being
reliably transmitt e d across the circuit. When a maj o r alarm is
Verilink HDM 2180 User Manual6-3
Troubleshooting
declared, the HDM 2180 mo dule sends a message to the Craft
interface and Node Manager (if used), lights the appropriat e LED
indicator, and trips the alarm relay (if connected). The following
error conditions must persist for at least one second for a major
alarm to be declared:
• C-bit Severely Err or e d Seconds (CSES)—A CSES is a second
with 44 or more CCVs or one or more Out of Frame defects or a
detected incoming AIS.
• P-bit Severely Errored Seconds (PSES)—A PSES is a second
with 44 or more PCVs or one or more Out of Frame defects or a
detected incoming AIS. This gauge is not increased when UASs
are counted.
• Local Unavai la ble Second (LUAS)—An unvailable second
during which the local DS3 port is unable to receive or
transmit traffic.
• Line Severel y Errored Second ( L SES)—A second during which
the port was (at any instance during the second) in the AIS
state.
Minor Alarms
The following error conditions do not affect traffic along the DS3
line. They generate a minor alarm:
• Power Supply Missing (in redundant power supply
configurations)—This alarm indicates that one of the
redundant power supplies has failed.
• Remote Alarm Indication (RAI)—This alarm indicates t hat the
remote end is in a state of alarm. A Remote Alarm or Remote
Alarm Indication is the al arm 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 3second integration period upon detection of LOS or LOF before
an alarm is sent to the far-end equipment. This condition is
also referr e d to as a Ye l l ow Alarm.
• Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)—Using an unframed all-ones bit
pattern, an AIS alarm indicates that an alarm conditio n exi s ts
upstream in a circuit lead i ng 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 exists.
• C-bit Coding Violation (CCV)—An error event that reflects the
occurrence of received CP-bit parity errors during the
accumulation interval. The CP-bits are not affected by
customer-owned equipment and are therefore more accur ate
than P-bit parity.

Troubleshooting
• C-bit Errored Second (CES)—A CES is a second with one or
more CCVs or one or more Out of Frame (OOF) defects or a
detected incoming AIS. This gauge is not increased when UASs
are counted.
• Alarm Indication Signal Second (AIS S)—A second when the
CSU receives an unframed all-ones alarm indication signal
(AIS) from the network.
• Line Coding Violation (LCV)—An LCV error event is a count of
both bipolar violations (BPVs) and excessive zeros (EXZs)
occurring over the accumulation period. An EXZ increments
the LCV by one regardless of the length of the zero string.
• Line Errored Second (LES)—An LES is a second in which one or
more LCVs occurred or one or more LOS defects.
• Loss of Sign al Second (LOSS) —A second d uring which t he CSU
is in a Loss of Signal (LOS) state.
• P-bit Coding Violation (PCV)—A P-bit parity error event is the
occurrence of a rece iv ed P- b it co de on the DS3 M- fram e that is
not identical to the corre sponding locally-calculated code.
• P-bit Errored Second (PES)—A PES is a second with one or
more P-bit Coding Violations (PCVs) or one or more Out of
Frame defects or a detected incoming AIS. This gauge is not
increased when Unavailable Seconds (UASs) are counted.
