Introduction

The TxPORT PRISM 3001 (Figure 1-1) is a modular, single port, fractional T1 CSU/DSU. The unit allows connection of high-speed digital data to a T1 facility. V.35or EIA530compatible high-speed port interfaces are available which support port rates from 56 kbps to 1.536 Mbps. The interface to the T1 network is made through an integral ESF CSU which provides full performance monitoring of the T1 span and is compliant with T1.403, TR62411, and TR54016.

Figure 1-1 PRISM 3001 Stand-alone

The unit is available with a second DSX1 level T1 interface to support drop and insert applications. Network bandwidth may be allocated as needed between the high-speed data port and the T1 DTE port, allowing the integration of data and voice traffic across a single T1 facility.

The TxPORT PRISM 3001 provides the powerful feature set of the multiport TxPORT PRISM 3000 in one of the most compact packages in the industry. The 3001 module can be installed in either a single unit housing or in the 1051 -2 nest mount chassis which holds up to twelve units. Power supplies are available to meet the requirements of small to large installations, including full redundancy.

1-2 GENERAL

The unit may be controlled through a VT100 terminal or a computer with ANSI terminal emulation software. If used with the EM8000 Element Manager or 8100A Site Controller, the entire T1 network can be monitored and controlled from a central location.

LED indicators are provided on the front panel of the unit to alert local personnel of alarm conditions, loop and test status, and DTE port activity. A test switch allows local and remote loops to be activated as well as BERT tests. Although all configuration parameters are software selectable from the terminal interface or the network manager, configuration switches are provided on the unit to allow operation without the use of a management interface.

INSTALLATION

This chapter contains information and instructions required to prepare the TxPORT PRISM 3001 for use. Included are initial inspection procedures, mounting instructions, configuration guidelines, connection instructions, and powering information.

Throughout this manual, all factory default settings are shown underlined.

This manual contains information and warnings which must be followed to ensure safe operation and to retain the equipment in a safe condition.

The WARNING sign denotes a hazard to the operator. It calls attention to a

!procedure or practice which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or loss of life. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the indicated

conditions are fully understood and met.

Follow proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) procedures while handling the circuit boards.

This unit is carefully packaged to prevent damage in shipment. Upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, notify the carrier immediately and make a notation on the delivery receipt that the container was damaged (if possible, obtain the signature and name of the person making delivery). Retain the packaging material until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked both mechanically and electrically.

If the contents of the shipment are incomplete or, if there is mechanical damage or defect, notify TxPORT. If the shipping container is also damaged, or the cushioning material shows signs of stress, notify the carrier of the damage as well as TxPORT. Keep the shipping materials for carrier’s inspection. TxPORT will arrange for repair or replacement without waiting for claim settlement.

The PRISM 3001 is shipped from the factory with the PRISM 3001 reference manual.

The following additional materials may be required for the installation and operation of the PRISM 3001.

-48 VDC power source

Network and DTE interface cables

20-gauge stranded wire (or similar) for DC power and alarm connection

2-2	INSTALLATION
		For specific applications, additional cables and adapters may be required. The
		interface requirements of any application may be met by using the appropriate
		cable. Contact TxPORT for any needed assistance in cable selection.
Mounting		The 3001 is a modular unit that plugs into either a single unit housing or into a
		chassis that holds up to 12 units. Single units are designed for stand-alone desktop
		use, wall mounting, or chassis mounting (in either a vertical or horizontal
		orientation). The 3001 uses an interchangeable front panel to accommodate the
		chassis card cage.
	Stand-alone	To access the circuit boards and configuration switches, perform the following
	Unit	procedure. Observe proper electrostatic device handling procedures while holding
		the circuit boards.

1Open the front panel access door and remove it by gently bending the plastic from the middle using both hands.

2Pull the two side strips of plastic from the middle outwards until the four stops are clear of the front panel.

3Pull the cover off the front panel.

4Remove the two screws and pull the front panel and circuit boards out of the housing.

The stand -alone unit may be used in a chassis installation with the following modifications.

1Remove the housing as described above and then remove the four screws holding the front panel to the circuit boards.

2Replace the stand -alone front panel with a module type front panel. The unit can now slide into one of the 12 slots in the chassis.

Chassis	Up to twelve PRISM 3001 units may be inserted into a chassis and the chassis
Assembly	may be installed into a 19or 23-inch rack using four screws. Connections are
	made from the rear of the chassis (refer to the illustrations on page 2-9).
Unit	The PRISM 3001 can be software configured in the same manner as the multiport
Configuration	PRISM 3000 by using a terminal connection to either the front panel Supervisory
	access port or the rear panel NMS IN port. The TxPORT EM8000 Element
	Manager and 8100A Site Controller may also be used to configure the unit by
	using the same ports. The terminal interface, element manager, and site controller
	provide a broader set of capabilities than by using the configuration switches.
	The 3001 provides non-volatile memory retention of unit configuration in the
	event of power failure. This feature allows the unit to automatically restore normal
	service following a power loss. Note, however, that when the unit is stored without
	power for an extended period, the battery may drain and some parameters may
	become corrupted.

Therefore, when the unit is first received for installation or if power has not been applied for an extended period of time, the configuration should be verified using either the terminal interface, element manager, or site controller. The battery becomes fully charged after power has been applied for 160 hours.

Hardware switches on the side of the circuit boards provide the means to configure most simple applications. These configuration switches are described in the following paragraphs. When power is applied to the unit, the front panel indicators flash for approximately 10 seconds as the unit executes a self -test function. If an ambiguous configuration has been programmed, the front panel indicators continue to flash after the self-test is completed. The configuration must then be reviewed to correct the error.

The unit is hardware configured using three DIP switches, a rotary switch, and two jumpers. All are located on the top edge of the circuit boards (refer to Figure 2-1 above). The front panel rotary switch selects BERT patterns and is described in the Operations chapter. The numbering system used for each switch position is as follows: Position 2 of Switch S4 is referred to as Switch S4 -2, and so on.

Before installation, verify each configuration switch setting. A removable configuration guide is included in the rear of this manual to record option selections for reference.

Configuration Switch S4 is used to set the configuration parameters listed in the following Switch S4 paragraphs.

Network LBO

Positions S4 -3 and S4-4 set the line build out signal level of the transmit data (TXD) from the unit to the network. The output level is factory set at 0 dB. It may be attenuated by -7.5 dB, -15 dB, or -22.5 dB if operating conditions require that it be changed. The telco should provide the proper setting to the user. If unsure of the exact setting, then leave it at the default value. The values are listed in the following table.

Table 2-1 Network Line Build Out

S4-3 S4-4		Network LBO
Down	Down	0 dB
Up	Down	-7.5 dB
Down	Up	-15.0 dB
Up	Up	-22.5 dB

Bit Rates

Position S4-5 works in conjunction with rotary switch S7 to set bit rate configurations. Refer to Rotary Switch S7 on page 2-7 for further information. The missing rates are N × 56 and N ×64, where N=15,17, 21, and 23. All 24 rate configurations can be programmed through software control by using the NMS or SUPV ports.

Clock Source

Positions S4 -6 and S4-7 determine the source of unit clocking. The most common timing source for most CSU/DSU applications is to derive timing from the network. The 3001 may also be optioned to time from an internal standard, from the T1 DTE, or from the high-speed data interface as shown in Table 2-2.

Table 2-2 Timing Source

S4-6	S4-7	Timing Source
Down	Down	Internal
Up	Down	Network
Down	Up	T1 DTE
Up	Up	high-speed port

Channel Assignment

Position S4-8 selects the channel assignment mode for network T1 DS0s that carry data to the high-speed port. Contiguous assignment assigns the channels as a block beginning at channel one. For example, if the high-speed port data rate is to be 256 kbps (as defined by rotary switch S7 in on page 2-7), the unit would assign network channels 1 through 4 to the high-speed port.
