1.4 Dual T1/CSU Network Interfaces
Because the dual T1 network interfaces supply over 3 Mbps of useable bandwidth, the Access Bank
II SNMP is able to demultiplex the primary incoming T1 signal into 12 or 24 analog telephone cir-
cuits for connection to voice, facsimile, and high-speed V.34 modems, leaving the secondary T1 port

Digital Data Ports
available for Internet connection, or for alternate routes or carriers. Doubling the bandwidth capacity
of a conventional digital channel bank allows the Access Bank II SNMP to dedicate the built-in V.35
DCE data port to Internet, video, or Wide-Area Network (WAN) applications, while also performing
such advanced networking tasks as Drop and Insert (D&I), and DS-0 Digital Access & Cross-connect
Switching (DACS). Both diagnostic CSUs are fully integrated, respond to all standard inband and
out-of-band network loop codes, and can be polled for ANSI T1.403 one-second Performance Report
Messages (PRMs) or AT&T 54016 Maintenance Messages over the 4 Kbps ESF Facility Data Link
(FDL).
1.5 Digital Data Ports
1.5.1 V.35 DCE Port
To fully utilize the extra bandwidth supplied by the dual T1 interfaces, the Access Bank II SNMP has
a built-in V.35 DCE data port for connection to Wide Area Network (WAN) devices such as Internet
routers and Frame Relay Access Devices (FRADs). This high-speed serial interface supports syn-
chronous data connections from 56 Kbps to 1.536 Mbps, all rates. When used in conjunction with the
internal BER tester, the V.35 interface is also capable of generating V.54 loop codes for activating and
deactivating remote loopbacks in DCE devices at the far-end. The intervening transmission link then
can be stress tested using a selectable range of industry standard QRSS patterns (QRSS, All Zeros,
All Ones, 511, 2047, 215-1, 220-1, 2023-1, etc.). Use of the V.35 DCE port requires an optional V.35
data cable.
1.5.2 RS-232 Data Port
The Control Panel of the Access Bank II SNMP also contains an RS-232 secondary data port that can
be configured to provide a 56/64 Kbps synchronous data channel for connection to SNA cluster con-
trollers, data multiplexers, routers, or SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) links.
When configured for asynchronous operation, this same RS-232 data port can also be used, alter-
nately, to implement a point-to-point dedicated communications channel between two Acess Bank II
units at 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 14.4, 19.2, 28.8, 38.4, or 57.6 Kbps rates. Use of the RS-232 data port
requires an optional dual purpose RS-232 user data and management cable.
1.6 Analog Line Interfaces: FXS, & FXO, and 4-Wire E&M
To meet individual site-specific communications requirements, the Access Bank II SNMP can be
equipped with a full range of “hot-swappable” slide-insert analog line interface cards. Please contact
CAC for details and availability of these and other card options:
•
•
The Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) 12-channel voice card delivers high quality loop-
start or ground-start dial tone telephone line connections to key systems, Off Premise
Extensions (OPXs), facsimile machines, modems, PBXs and other conventional analog
telephone devices.
The Foreign Exchange Office and Dial Pulse Termination (FXO/DPT) voice card com-
pliments the FXS by supplying 12 standard loop-start or ground-start telephone line con-
9/24/01

nections on a per channel basis from PBX office-end telephone systems to public
network T1 (DS1) services using FXO terminations. The DPT feature of this card is
especially useful in remote office or campus T1 environments where it can be used to
support one-way Direct Inward Dialing (DID) service for voice mail and call center
applications.
•
•
A Battery Reversal FXS/Dial Pulse Origination (BRFXS/DPO) voice card is also avail-
able that provides twelve 2-wire Loop Start connections with Tip/Ring battery reversal to
the digital T1 (DS1 line). The second function of this card is Dial Pulse Origination
(DPO), which is the functional complement to Dial Pulse Termination (DPT) provided
by the FXO/DPT voice card.
The 4-wire E&M/Transmission Only (E&M/TO) voice card supplies 12 channels for
connecting to private line circuits, such as PBX tie lines and 4-wire modems often found
in utility, cellular, and metropolitan area networks (MANs). Each of the twelve E&M
channels can be individually programmed to support Signaling Types I, II, IV or V. This
card can also be configured to function as Channel Equipment (normal multiplexer
mode) or as Switching Equipment for back-to-back Tandem operation sometimes
referred to as “Reverse E&M” or “Pulse Link Repeater.” The Transmission Only (TO)
operating mode provides dedicated transmit and receive paths to radio and modem
equipment uncorrupted by the insertion of A/B robbed bit signaling.
All analog line interface cards greatly exceed the required analog loop range and are proven V.34
modem compatible. Using a special patent-pending feature developed by Carrier Access Corporation,
they also perform automatic impedance matching to adapt to various analog modem types and line
lengths. Over-voltage and over-current protection are individually handled on the analog interface
channel cards, as well as on the Controller. This distributes the power redundantly so that a line fault
or over-voltage on one analog channel card does not affect the operation of another.
1.7 Local and Remote Network Management
The Access Bank II SNMP has three network management options. SNMP and CLI management are
described in detail in Chapter 14, SNMP Management and Command Line Interface, while GUI man-
agement software is provided in the Access Bank II SNMP User Manual.
•
•
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for basic network control by a Network
Management Station via the Ethernet 10Base-T management port.
Command Line Interface (CLI) for complete control by a VT-100 terminal via the RS-
232 port, or by a Telnet terminal via the Ethernet 10Base-T port.
Windows®-based GUI software with graphical user interface (GUI) for user-friendly
control by a PC or laptop computer via the RS-232 port.
1.7.1 Local/Remote Mode Selection
The Access Bank II SNMP comes equipped with two sets of external DIP switches for selecting local
or remote management control. In the local hardware control mode, you can use these DIP switches
to perform self-tests for channel alignment, to select basic T1 hardware configuration parameters

(AMI/B8ZS, D4/ESF), and to enable detection of standard D4/ESF inband loop codes by the integral
CSUs. In the remote software control mode, you can use SNMP, CLI, or GUI management terminals.
1.7.2 SNMP Management
The Access Bank II SNMP:
•
•
•
Supports Simple Network Management Protocol version 2 (SNMPv2) through its Ether-
net 10Base-T port.
Complies with RFC standards for for SNMPv2, Ethernet, Internet, TCP/IP, and MIB-II
network management, and T1 and RS-232 interfaces.
Has built-in SNMPv2 Agent software providing network statistics, information retrieval
and update, trap thresholds, and automatic transmission of trap data to Network Manage-
ment Stations.
1.7.2.1 Local and Remote SNMP Management
The Access Bank II SNMP provides SNMP management through its Ethernet 10Base-T port. Remote
SNMP management is possible over either of the T1 lines within a V.35 user data segment, as shown
in Figure 1-1.

1.7.2.2 SNMP Overview
SNMP is a complete, but simple, mechanism for network management. It works by exchanging infor-
mation between a Manager and an Agent. In this case, the Agent is inside the Access Bank II/SNMP.
The Manager is a Network Management Station (NMS), which is a computer with SNMP manage-
ment software such as HP OpenView® or Sun NetManager®.
The Agent stores the information in a Management Information Base (MIB), which contains items
such as the current status of the network interface, performance statistics, and alarms.
In general, SNMP is not concerned with controlling every feature of the many different network
objects. However, SNMP is flexible enough that it can support a wide variety of private enterprise
objects with predefined MIB data structures. The Access Bank II/SNMP uses the Bellcore® standard
MIB for T1 interfaces.
Manager operations include simple “get” and “set” commands to retrieve and update MIB data in the

Agent. Normally, the Manager polls the Agent periodically to check traffic statistics. However, the
Manager can also set thresholds for traps. Traps specify network events and conditions for which the
Agent automatically sends a Telnet alarm message with trap data back to the Manager.
1.7.3 Command Line Interface
The Access Bank II SNMP comes with a built-in Command Line Interface. CLI provides complete
management of all Access Bank features through any VT-100 terminal or PC connected to the RS-
232 port, or through any Telnet terminal connected to the Ethernet 10Base-T port.
CLI works with a communications terminal, in which you type in text and press the carriage return
key to send the message to the host. The host then responds with a log-on message, and the CLI is
ready to use.
CLI is easy to use because the Access Bank II SNMP provides a list of menu options to choose from.
Furthermore, context sensitive help is available to guide you through the setup process. At any time,
you can type in a question mark (?) to obtain information about what to type next or what commands
are available. You can also type “help” after any command to get specific help with that command.
1.7.3.1 Local and Remote CLI Management
The Access Bank II SNMP provides CLI management through its RS-232 and Ethernet 10Base-T
For RS-232 CLI control, just connect a PC or laptop computer to the RS-232 management port on the
Access Bank II/SNMP. Then use a VT-100 terminal emulation program such as Microsoft Hyper Ter-
minal®. (The default communications port settings are 9600, 8, 1, N.) Press the Escape key to initiate
the link. The Access Bank will return a log-on message. If a password is required, the Access Bank
will request that you enter a password. (Units shipped from the factory do not have a password
defined, but the user is encouraged to use passwords to prevent unauthorized use.) CLI can be used
from a remote site by connecting the RS-232 port to a modem and telephone line.

management software can also be used to poll the Access Bank II SNMP for remote alarms via an
external Hayes®-compatible modem attached to the RS-232 management port.
1.8 Design Philosophy
The Access Bank II SNMP is manufactured by CAC according to a design philosophy based on
solid-state overvoltage and overcurrent protection without the use of low-current fuses (<1 A) or very
high-wattage resistors. Thanks to this advanced new technology, the Access Bank II SNMP complies
fully with National Electrical Code and UL 1459 requirements for the safety of equipment attached to
telephone wiring without using any fuses, which dramatically improves its long-term reliability,
while greatly reducing equipment down time. As an added benefit, all items of equipment connected
to the Access Bank II SNMP are protected from transient network voltage or current surges.

•
A standard 25-pair telephone cable with “D” style 50-pin male connector to connect the
Access Bank II - SNMP to your punch-down block or RJ-11 “Harmonica.”
•
If you are wall-mounting the Power Converter Cube, you will need four fasteners appro-
priate for mounting a seven-pound object.
4.3 Chassis Mounting
The Access Bank II - SNMP can be wall-mounted, rack-mounted, or surface-mounted. Prior to
mounting the Access Bank II - SNMP chassis, ensure that the installation site meets the following cri-
teria:
•
•
Adequate clearance for access to control panel DIP switches, cable routing, and ventila-
tion. Leave at least 18 inches behind the back plate for maintenance and accessing the
slide-in voice cards.
Because the cables on the power conversion cube total 13 feet in length, there should be
a properly grounded, 110 VAC power outlet within 10 feet of the Access Bank II - SNMP
Control Panel.
•
•
A stable environment, clean and free from extremes of temperature, shock, vibration and
EMI, with a relative humidity between 0 and 95%.

4.7 Mounting the Power Converter
The Access Bank II - SNMP is normally shipped for US operation with a 115 Vac to -48 Vdc power
conversion cube. This cube includes both a 5-foot grounded AC power cord and a 8-foot three-posi-
tion DC power cable. The Power Converter Cube has four mounting holes for attaching the unit to a
wall or other flat surface. To mount the Power Converter Cube on a nearby wall, locate the converter
within 7 feet of the Access Bank II - SNMP front Control Panel and use screws or anchors appropri-
ate to the mounting surface. If you are wall mounting the power conversion cube on the same ¾”
thick plywood sheet as the Access Bank II - SNMP, the dimensions of the board will have to be at
least 25” by 14”. Wire tie-downs can be used to keep stray wires to a minimum, but be careful not to
damage the wiring in any way.

5.3.5 Tip & Ring Jack (female)
Tip & Ring connections are made at this connector with an standard 25-pair telephone cable, which
also connects to the punch-down block or RJ-11 “Harmonica.”
Note: 4-wire E&M 12-channel voice card requires optional cables to connect to
the punch-down block. These cables eliminate the use of the front panel RJ-21X Tip
& Ring telephone connector.
5.4 Connecting the Voice Circuits
Voice circuit connections are made at the 50-pin Amphenol jack labeled Tip & Ring on the Access
RJ-21X wiring and a D-type mating connector at the Access Bank II SNMP end. The other end con-
nects to either a punch down block or an RJ-11 “Harmonica” for interfacing to analog telephony
equipment.
To connect the voice circuits:
1. Connect the telephone cable to the punch-down block or RJ-11 “Harmonica.”
2. Route the cable to the Access Bank II SNMP Control Panel.
3. Remove any screws in the D-type connector that may prevent a flush connection with the Tip
& Ring jack.
4. Connect the D-type mating connector to the Tip & Ring connector on the Control Panel.
5. Cinch down the attached Velcro strap to retain the connectors.
6. Use the cable tie down on the unit and elsewhere to avoid accidental disconnection.
voice drop cable provides a connection to a set of normally open relay contacts (150
Vrms, 150 mA maximum load) that close when the Access Bank II SNMP enters an
alarm state. For more information on external alarm events, see the Remote Monitor
section of this manual and the separate Remote Monitor User’s Guide.

5.7.3 Null Modem Adapter
Converting the Access Bank II SNMP from local management to dial-in/dial-out remote manage-
ment and/or alarm reporting requires using the 25-pin male to 25-pin male CAC Null Modem
Adapter (P/N 005-0002) included with each Access Bank II SNMP purchase. The Null Modem
Adapter is equipped with a DB25 RS-232 male connector on the DTE end and an RS-232 DB25 male
connector on the DCE end. The DTE DB25 male connector can be connected either to the 25-pin
DCE female connector on the CAC Local Management Cable described above, or to the 25-pin
female connector on the RS-232 data connector on the DCE end of the CAC Dual RS-232 DCE Data
and Management Cable. The 25-pin DCE female RS-232 end is for attachment to a Hayes-compati-
ble modem for dial-in/dial-out to a remote printer or pager, or to a remote 486 or higher PC with the
MS Windows-based Remote Monitor software or MS Windows Hypterterm (or compatible) VT100
emulation program installed. These programs are included with every Access Bank II SNMP.

7.2 Remote Monitor Software Program
7.2.1 Overview
The Access Bank Remote Monitor software interface is used to configure and manage the Access
Bank via the RS-232 Management Port. Installed on a local IBM-compatible PC or laptop connected
to the RS-232 Management port, Remote Monitor provides a convenient user-friendly software inter-
face for configuring, monitoring, and testing the performance of the Access Bank. The Remote Mon-
itor software can also be downloaded into a remote computer for dial-in/dial-out management over a
separate PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) analog line. In this application, Remote Moni-
tor can also be used to poll the Access Bank for remote alarms via a Hayes -compatible modem
two different ways of connecting Remote Monitor to the Access Bank.

7.3 Message Traffic
The Remote Monitor software supports three classes of message traffic between the PC and the

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Online Help
Access Bank: configuration traffic between the PC and the Access Bank, status traffic from the
Access Bank to the PC, and alarm report messages from the Access Bank to the PC. The X-modem
protocol is used to send/receive data from the Access Bank. A low-priority process resides in the
Access Bank to process the X-modem packets and update the internal data structures accordingly.
Statistical data and error handling are processed by internal processes and sent to the remote monitor
via X-modem packets. The Remote Monitor software can also be used to perform V.54 loopback test-
ing to sectionalize and stress test the V.35 remote link using a full array of industry standard QRSS
test patterns.
7.4 Online Help
If you need specific information on performing any Remote Monitor operation, press the F1 key from
any screen to access a detailed system of context-sensitive online Help. When you place the cursor
over certain control fields, Remote Monitor also responds with handy tips for performing that partic-
ular task. For step-by-step instructions on all aspects of installing, configuring and operating the

8.2 FXS-ID Voice Card
The Foreign Exchange Station - Caller ID (FXS-ID) 12-channel voice card delivers high quality
loop-start or ground-start dial tone telephone line connections to key systems, Off Premise Exten-
sions (OPXs), facsimile machines, modems, PBXs and other conventional analog telephone devices.
The FXS - ID card supports the Caller ID CLASSÆ feature. The FXS -ID, is a 7.8” by 13.16” daugh-
ter card designed to slide into the back of the Access Bank II - SNMP along rails that guide a 64-pin
DIN connector to mate with a matched connector on the internal AB2 Controller. The FXS-ID card
receives the T1 signaling, tip and ring pairs, control logic and power through this connector. The back

FXS-ID Configuration
plate of the FXS-ID card has 12 channel status LEDs and one 4-position DIP switch for selecting
from a number of different signaling types. Furthermore, the back plate also contains 12 test switches
that can be used to “busy out” each channel individually. On the FXS-ID card itself, each individual
channel has a 6-position DIP switch for setting transmit and receive line attenuation.
When equipped with the Foreign Exchange Station - Caller ID (FXS-ID) voice card, the Access
Bank II - SNMP can support a number of popular signaling types used by dedicated T1-accessed
voice service providers, including:
•
•
•
•
AT&T Megacom (E&M Wink-Start)
NYNEX Flexpath“ (E&M Wink-Start)
US West DSS“
Long-distance Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and Dialed Number Identifica-
tion Service (DNIS) from MCI, Sprint, LDDS, and Wiltel.
The FXS circuits automatically perform impedance matching (not to be confused with DS-1 ALBO)
to adapt to various PBXs, key systems, telephones and line lengths.
8.3 Signaling Types
The FXS-ID voice card can be configured, using DIP switches on the card, to support the following
common signaling types:
•
FXO in the Central Office (CO)-to-AB2 FXS A/B Signaling (regular 3-state FXS signal-
ing)
•
•
•
E&M Immediate Start to Loop-Start/Ground-Start
Wink-Start to Loop-Start/Ground-Start
Wink Delay (ANI/DNIS) for Loop-Start/Ground-Start
8.3.1 FXO Switch to AB2 FXS A/B Signaling
Select the default setting to have Access Bank II - SNMP FXS interfaces automatically adapt to loop-
start or ground-start signals received from the incoming T1 line on a channel-by-channel basis. This
option is used when an FXO voice card is in the Central Office, at the other end of the T1 link oppo-
site the FXS-ID card. It is important to note that in this configuration, the Caller ID CLASS feature
can only be supported if the FXD voice card in the CO also supports this feature.
8.3.2 Wink-Start to Loop-Start or Ground-Start
Select Wink-Start to Loop-Start or Ground-Start to translate two-state wink-start signaling from the
T1 network (AT&T Megacom, Flexpath, etc.) to loop-start or ground-start ringing at the FXS inter-
face. Ringback tone is supplied on the T1 transmit path during the ringing state of the FXS. This con-
figuration options all 12 FXS channels to appear as E&M wink-start channels to the serving carrier
switch, while providing the customer with standard dial tone/ringing telephone line connections.

Setting the FXS Transmit and Receive Levels
8.3.3 Wink Delay
Select Wink Delay to translate two-state wink-start signaling toward the T1 network to an FXS ring-
ing with delayed wink for proceed-to-send digit indication. Upon detection of an incoming seizure
from the T1 network, the AB2 applies ringing voltage to the FXS channel. When the attached equip-
ment answers by closing the loop, the Access Bank II - SNMP winks the network for “proceed to
send,” allowing the attached equipment to receive DTMF digits carrying Automatic Number Identifi-
cation (ANI) or Directory Number Identification Service (DNIS). This is particularly useful for voice
mail, voice response, call distribution, and automatic attendant applications. Standard loop-start PC
voice mail and fax cards can be used for ANI and DNIS applications, without the added expense and
complexity of installing signaling converters.
8.4 Setting the FXS Transmit and Receive Levels
The transmit and receive attenuation levels for each FXS voice frequency channel can be set between
0 and -9 dB using twelve 6-position DIP switches (CH1 - CH12) on top of the circuit board (see Fig-
ure 8-1). Each analog channel uses a bank of six DIP switches, with three for transmit and three for
receive. Operation of each set of three switches in additive. For example, setting switch 1 (-2 dB) and
switch 2 (-3 dB) to OFF for any given channel selects a receive loss of -5 dB. The default setting for
the transmit level is -3 dB; for the receive level it is -6 dB. The default settings are appropriate for
most applications.

FXS-ID Configuration
If your FXS voice channels require different attenuation level settings than the factory defaults, pro-
ceed as follows:
2. To remove the FXS-ID slide-in voice card, pull out the two card ejector latches simulta-
neously to release the card from the internal connector, then slide the card carefully out from
the rear of the AB2 chassis (see Figure 8-2).
4. To reinsert the FXS-ID voice card, ensure that the card is positioned correctly in the card
rails, then carefully slide the card into the slot until it stops.
5. Press both card ejector latches in towards the FXS-ID card to seat the 64-pin DIN connector
in the matching connector on the internal Controller card.
6. After setting the transmit and receive level options, replace the back plate and tighten the
thumbscrews.

8.5 Setting the FXS Signaling Options
Each FXS-ID card contains one 4-position DIP switch that can be used to select signaling options for
all twelve channels. As shown in Table 8-2, the AB2 back plate provides openings for accessing these
DIP switches, one per FXS-ID card.
8.5.1 Option Switches A, B, and C
The three switches labeled Option A, Option B, and Option C are used as a group to select signaling
conversion options for all 12 channels of each FXS-ID card. When all three switches are set OFF
(default), the FXS voice circuits will automatically select ground-start or loop-start signaling on a
tions.
TP Idle/Busy Switch
The fourth switch on each DIP switch, labeled TP Busy/Idle, selects whether the tip-ground relays are
busy (closed) or idle (open) during trunk processing. The default is idle (switch 4 OFF).
To change signaling options, refer to Table 8-2 and Figure 8-3. The numbered signaling options listed

8.6.1.1 Option 0. Normal FXS A&B Signaling, Loop-Start or Ground-Start
Switch A
OFF
Switch B
OFF
Switch C
OFF
With this selection, the Access Bank II - SNMP FXS interfaces automatically adapt to loop-start or
ground-start signaling received from the T1 line on a channel-by-channel basis. When using this
option, order FXS loop-start or FXS ground-start signaling from your service provider.
8.6.1.2 Option 1. E&M Wink-Start-to-Loop-Start Conversion with Calling Party
Disconnect
Switch A
ON
Switch B
OFF
Switch C
OFF
The FXS-ID voice card provides Plain Old Telephone (POTS) loop-start interfaces to a PBX or regu-
lar telephones. E&M wink-start signaling and per-channel ringback tones are sent to the T1 line.
Calling Party Disconnect
Calling Party Disconnect (CDD) is a 2-second, tip-open condition at the FXS-ID when the network
releases seizure (the far-end called party hangs up). The battery feed from the FXS-ID returns to idle
(tip grounded) after the two-second disconnect. This feature is similar to local telephone service Call-
ing Party Disconnect (CPD), which some Central Office equipment provides for answering machines
and PBXs equipped to detect loss of loop current on their line interfaces. This loss of loop current

POTS Interface
This option provides a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) ground-start interface between the
Access Bank II - SNMP and the PBX or other phone equipment. This avoids both-way call collisions
(“glare”) on PBX trunks and gives the PBX a disconnect signal when the far-end party hangs up.
E&M wink-start signaling and ringback tones are sent to the T1 line on an individual channel basis.
This option is for use with AT&T Megacom , NYNEX Flexpath or equivalent E&M services from
other service providers.

Private Line Automatic Ringdown (D3 PLAR)
Known as D3 Private Line Automatic Ringdown (D3 PLAR), this option provides a “hot-line” ring
down function from the near-end telephone to the far-end telephone connected over the same channel
of the T1 line. The first telephone to go off-hook seizes the channel with a signaling bit sequence of
A/B = 11 and hears a cadenced ringback tone (2 seconds on, 4 seconds off) from the far-end channel
bank. The far-end disconnects the ringback tone and sends A/B = 11 to the originating end when its
telephone goes off-hook. D4 PLAR is not supported.
To use this option, order E&M immediate-start service from your service provider.

Calling Party Disconnect
Switch A
ON
Switch B
OFF
Switch C
ON
This option provides a loop-start interface between the AB2 and the PBX for voice mail/phone
applications. E&M wink-start signaling and per-channel ringback tones are sent to the T1 line.
Ringing voltage is applied immediately after incoming seizure. The 200 ms outgoing wink “pro-
ceed-to-send” signal is not sent to the T1 network until 800 ms after FXS ringing voltage has been
tripped (answered). Thus, the voice mail or PBX DTMF or MF register has at least one second to
be attached to the line after closing the loop. The network proceeds to automatically send four to
ten ANI or DNIS digits.
User also receives a two-second Tip Open condition (loop current turns off) at the FXS-ID when
the network releases seizure (the far-end call hangs up). Battery feed from the FXS-ID returns to
normal idle (tip grounded) after the two-second disconnect. This feature is similar to local tele-
phone service Calling Party Disconnect (CPD), provided by some Central Office equipment for
answering machines and PBXs that are equipped to detect loss of loop current on their line inter-
faces. This loss of loop current informs the equipment to disconnect the call.

Switch A
OFF
Switch B
ON
Switch C
ON
This option provides a ground-start interface between the AB2 and the PBX for voice mail/phone
applications. E&M wink-start signaling and per-channel ringback tones are provided to the T1
line.
Ringing voltage is applied immediately after incoming seizure. The 200-ms outgoing wink “pro-
ceed-to-send” signal is not sent to the T1 network until 800 ms after FXS ringing voltage has been
tripped (answered). Thus, the voice mail or PBX DTMF or MF register has at least one second to
be attached to the line after closing the loop. The network proceeds to automatically send 4 to 10
ANI or DNIS digits.

Caution: If you use this setting when no customized signaling has been
installed, all back plate LEDs turn a steady RED and normal operation of the
FXS-ID voice card is interrupted.
!
Upon request, Carrier Access will provide customized FX signaling options that can include any
of the aforementioned options plus others, including answer supervision wink signaling.
Answer Supervision Wink Signaling
Answer supervision wink signaling takes the form of a 200-ms tip-open condition (loop current
turns off) from the Access Bank II - SNMP to the voice-mail or phone system when the far end
goes off hook (answers the call). Battery feed from the FXS-ID returns to normal (tip grounded)
after the 200-ms disconnect. This feature is useful if the calling party switch needs to know when
the far end has answered the call.
8.6.2 TP Busy/Idle Switch
ON
Idle
OFF
Busy
Use this switch to select whether the FXS tip-ground relays will be closed (busy) or open (idle) dur-
ing trunk processing. (Trunk processing occurs when the T1 line is in an alarm or reset state.) The
Busy position (OFF) causes the tip-ground relays to be closed during a T1 alarm or reset period. The
Idle position ON) causes the tip-ground relays to be open during a T1 alarm or reset period.
Note: The Busy position (OFF) is recommended for loop-start or ground-start
applications where the attached PBX has the ability to re-route calls to different
trunks when the T1 line is down.
8.7 FXS Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing
The channel status LEDs on the back plate of the Access Bank II - SNMP allow you to monitor the
status of the individual FXS voice lines. Operation of these LEDs is summarized in Figure 8-4.

FXS Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing
The channel test switches on the FXS-ID back plate can be used to send a 4 second continuous ring-
ing voltage to the tip and ring pair of each FXS voice channel. You can check the operation of an
individual voice channel by attaching a test telephone to the Tip and Ring pair of a particular channel
at the punchdown block or RJ-11 Harmonica, then switching ON the appropriate channel test switch
to test that channel.

8.7.3 “Busying Out” Individual FXS Channels
Switching a channel test switch to the ON position has three results on the selected FXS channel:
1. To confirm individual channel circuit integrity, 4 seconds of ringing voltage are sent to the
Tip and Ring pair. The Tip is then grounded until the channel test switch is turned to the OFF
position (to the right).
!
Warning: Four seconds of ringing voltage (85 V) will be present at the Tip
and Ring pair of the FXS channel-under-test until the test telephone is picked
up to trip the ringing.
Requirement:
A test telephone connected to the punch down block or RJ-11 Harmonica
should ring for 4 seconds.
2. As an aid to network technicians troubleshooting audio problems, 4 seconds of ringback tone
are also sent toward the T1 network.
3. After the 4 seconds of ringback tone, the FXS channel will “busy out” toward the T1 network
side.
Note: Each channel test switch can provide ringing during Trunk Processing (or
even when the T1 line is disconnected).
8.7.4 Self Test Loopbacks
During Self-Test, switching a channel test switch to the ON position has the following result:
The affected FXS channel receives 4 seconds of ringing voltage (85 V) and the LED for that particu-
lar channel turns RED. This allows a technician to ring the telephone and verify audio tone when it is
answered.
Note: During Self Test, a RED channel LED may come on, but does not indicate a
problem.

9.2 Description of the BRFXS/DPO Card
The BRFXS/DPO 12-channel voice card can be configured to operate either as a battery reversal
FXS card or as a Dial Pulse Origination (DPO) card. In the battery reversal mode, the BRFXS/DPO
9/24/01

Battery Reversal FXS & Dial Pulse Origination Card
provides twelve 2-wire CPE analog loop-start connections to the digital T1 line using the same
method used by the FXS voice card, only with the addition of Tip/Ring battery reversal. The FXS
interface reverses the polarity of the battery feed towards the customer premise equipment (CPE) in
response to the signaling bits coming from the T1 line. Various PBX systems require battery reversal
to signal the start of billing, and in certain telephony environments it is needed to provide Line Side
Answer Supervision (LSAS). One important application for battery reversal occurs in International
Call Back, which allows international callers dialing the US to avoid more expensive inbound rates
by taking advantage of cheaper US outbound long distance rates.
Dial Pulse Origination (DPO) is the functional complement to Dial Pulse Termination (DPT) pro-
vided by the FXO/DPT voice card. Used in conjunction, the DPO and DPT cards are used mainly for
origination and termination of Direct Inward Dial (DID) circuits.
The BRFXS/DPO is a 7.8” by 13.16” daughter card designed to slide into the back of the Access
Bank II along rails that guide a 64-pin DIN connector to mate with a matched connector on the inter-
nal ABI Controller. The card receives the T1 signaling, tip and ring pairs, control logic and power
from the Controller card through this connector. The back plate of the card has 12 channel status
LEDs and one 4-position DIP switch for selecting between battery reversal FXS loop-start and Dial
Pulse Originating (DPO) modes of operation. Furthermore, the back plate also contains 12 test
switches that can be used to “busy out” each channel individually. On the BRFXS/DPO card itself,
each individual channel has a 6-position DIP switch for setting transmit and receive line attenuation.
9.3 Overview of Operation
The reversible-battery FXS channel card is designed to provide twelve 2-wire analog interfaces to the
digital T1 (DS1) line. Currently, the analog loops (also called CPE loops in this document) must
always be loop-start.
One of the main features of the analog interface is that the polarity of the battery feed towards the
customer-premise equipment (CPE) can be reversed in response to the signaling bits coming from the
T1 line.
•
The basic operation is selected by setting Switch A off so that no ringing voltage is
applied towards the CPE. If desired, Switch B can be turned on to give a cadenced (2-
second/4-second) ringback tone to the T1 line during incoming calls. The battery to the
CPE loop will be reversed to indicate an incoming call. The battery will return to forward
polarity again when the call has ended.
•
Also included in this channel card is a setting to provide cadenced ringing voltage (if
needed by other customer-premise equipment). This option is enabled by setting Switch
A on so that cadenced ringing voltage will be applied to the CPE loop during an incom-
ing call. The battery is reversed during this time. If desired, Switch B can be turned on to
give a cadenced (2-second/4-second) ringback tone to the T1 line during incoming calls,
that is synchronized to the ringing voltage present on the loop.

BRFXS/DPO Applications
Note: During a two-way call, the CPE -loop battery is reversed. To disconnect the
call either the CPE loop current ceases or the network sends A/B bits = 0/0. The
reversed state of the CPE loop, however, will be maintained until the network
terminates (releases) the call.
9.4 BRFXS/DPO Applications
As explained above, the two major applications for the BRFXS/DPO card are FXS with battery
reversal “wink” to signal a PBX timer to start billing a call and Dial Pulse Origination (DPO) for
transport of Direct Inward Dialing (DID) lines. Refer to Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2 for pictorial repre-
sentations of these two applications.

9.5 Setting the Transmit and Receive Levels
The transmit and receive levels for each BRFXS/DPO voice frequency channel can be set between 0
and -9 dB using twelve 6-position DIP switches (CH1 - CH12) on top of the circuit board card (see
Figure 9-3). Each analog channel uses a bank of six DIP switches, with three for transmit and three
for receive. Operation of each set of three switches in additive. For example, setting switch 1 (-2 dB)
and switch 2 (-3 dB) to OFF for any given channel selects a receive loss of -5 dB. The default setting
for the transmit level is -3 dB; for the receive level it is -6 dB. The default settings are appropriate for
most applications.

Battery Reversal FXS & Dial Pulse Origination Card
9.7 Setting BRFXS and DPO
9.7.1 Battery Reversal FXS Loop-Start
The BRFXS/DPO card includes a setting for 2-wire FXS loop-start operation with battery reversal.
To enable this option, set Switch A on the 4-position DIP switch to ON so that cadenced ringing volt-
age is applied to the CPE loop during an incoming call (See Table 9-2). The battery is reversed during
this time. If desired, Switch B can be turned ON also to send a cadenced (2-second/ 4-second) ring-
back tone to the T1 line during incoming calls.
9.7.2 Dial Pulse Origination (DPO)
The DPO option is selected by setting Switch A to OFF so that no ringing voltage is applied towards
the CPE. If desired, Switch B can be turned ON to give a cadenced (2 second/ 4 second) ringback
tone to the T1 line during incoming calls (See Table 9-2). To indicate an incoming call, the battery to
the CPE loop is reversed. When the call ends, the battery returns to forward.
9.7.3 BRFXS/DPO Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing
The channel status LEDs on the back plate of the Access Bank II allow you to monitor the individual
The channel test switches on the BRFXS/DPO back plate can be used to apply reverse battery to the
CPE loop and send A/B bits forced to 1/1 toward the T1 network. If Switch A is ON, 4 seconds of
continuous ringing voltage (85 V) are sent to the tip and ring pair of each BRFXS/DPO voice chan-
nel. In this case, you can check the operation of an individual voice channel by attaching a test tele-
phone to the Tip and Ring pair of that particular channel at the punchdown block or RJ-11
Harmonica, then switching ON the appropriate channel test switch to test that channel. If Switch B is
ON, 4 seconds of continuous ringback tone is also sent to the T1 network.
9.8 Busying Out Individual BRFXS/DPO Channels
If Switch A and Switch B are both ON, setting a channel test switch to ON has four results on the
selected channel:
1. Reverse battery is applied to the CPE loop and the A/B signaling bits sent to the network are
forced to 1/1.
2. To confirm individual channel circuit integrity, 4 seconds of continuous ringing voltage are
sent to the Tip and Ring pair. The Tip is then grounded until the channel test switch is turned
to the OFF position (to the right).

Self Test Loopbacks
Danger: Four seconds of continuous ringing voltage (85 V) will be present
at the Tip and Ring pair of the channel-under-test until the test telephone is
picked up to trip the ringing.
!
Requirement: A test telephone connected to the punch down block or RJ-11
Harmonica should ring for 4 seconds.
3. As an aid to network technicians troubleshooting audio problems, 4 seconds of continuous
ringback tone are also sent toward the T1 network.
4. After the 4 seconds of continuous ringback tone, the FXS channel will “busy out” toward the
T1 network side.
Note: Each channel test switch can provide ringing during Trunk Processing (or
even when the T1 line is disconnected).
9.9 Self Test Loopbacks
If a Self-Test is in progress and Switch A is ON, setting a channel test switch to the ON position
should have the following result:
The affected channel receives 4 seconds of continuous ringing voltage (85 V) and the LED for that
particular channel turns RED. This allows a technician to ring the telephone and verify audio tone
when it is answered.
Note: During Self Test, a RED channel LED may come on, but does not indicate a
problem.

10.1 About This Chapter
This chapter describes the 12-Channel Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) and Dial Pulse Termination
(DPT) card used in the Access Bank II - SNMP, and provides information for configuring the card.
10.2 Description of the FXO Card
The FXO/DPT 12-channel analog card is an “office end” telephone line voice card designed specifi-
cally as an interface for Carrier Access Corporation’s family of Access Bank II - SNMP T1 Voice and
Data Multiplexers, which are FCC-approved digital Channel Banks and Channel Service Unit/ Data
Service Units (CSU /DSUs) for attachment of customer premise telecommunications equipment to
public network T1 (DS1) services. The FXO/DPT card provides an interface between the Tip/Ring
pair and T1 line for each of the channels on the FXO/DPT to provide FXO and DPT operation.The
“rear” end of the FXO/DPT card (opposite the connector to the LIU board in the front of the Access
Bank) has 12-channel status LEDs and one 4-pin DIP switch used to select whether the card uses

12-Channel FXO & Dial Pulse Termination Card
FXO or DPT termination. Also on the card, each individual channel has a two position switch for the
selection of ground start or loop start (see Figure 9-3) and a 6-section DIP switch to control the line
attenuation (see Channel Attenuation Options).
10.3 Termination Options
The FXO/DPT card can be configured for use as either an FXO or DPT interface card. Further, FXO
offers both ground start (GS) and loop start (LS) modes of operation. These options require the set-
ting of one switch per channel (12 per card) and one 4-position Dual Inline Package (DIP) switch per
card (see Table 10-1, and Figure 9-3). Note that in the table, a 1 indicates the switch is on, while a 0
indicates the switch is off. The slide switch on the 12-channel analog card for each channel indicates
whether that channel is set to GS or LS mode. The DIP switch determines whether the card will use
FXO or DPT termination.
Note: When DPT is selected, the large slide switches for each channel must all be
set to LS. However, when FXO termination is chosen, either LS or GS can be
selected for each channel.

10.3.1 Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) Termination
The FXO provides private branch exchange (PBX) office end connectivity to public network T1
lines. The FXO acts as a sink for a battery source, detects ringing, provides outgoing seizure, pro-
vides and interprets A/B bit signaling to and from the T1 line, and enables two-way voice frequency
transmission.

10.3.3 Channel Attenuation Options
Each of the 12 channels can be configured to attenuate both the transmit and receive audio signal.
Each channel has a 6-position dip switch; three positions for transmit attenuation and three positions
for receive attenuation. The switch positions apply different values of attenuation, and are additive (if
more than one switch is set to apply attenuation for a specific channel, the attenuation value for the
channel is the sum of those switches).
The loss is measured in decibels (dB). Note that a 3dB loss implies the average power is reduced by
50%.
The following table shows the values of attenuation applied for each switch position.
Note: Attenuation is applied when the switch is in the OFF position, and is removed
when the switch is in the ON position.

11.1 About This Chapter
This chapter describes how to configure the 4-wire E&M/Transmission Only (E&M/TO) 12-channel
voice card for connecting the Access Bank II - SNMP to T1 private line services that support E&M
signaling types I, II, IV and V. Also, cable information and specifications are provided at the end of
this section.
11.2 4-Wire E&M/TO Voice Card
11.2.1 Functional Description
The 4-wire E&M/Transmission Only voice card delivers 12 analog channels for connecting to private
line circuits, such as carrier PBX tie lines and 4-wire modems often found in utility, cellular, and met-

4-Wire E&M/TO Configuration
ropolitan area networks. Each of the twelve E&M channels can be individually configurted to support
Signaling Types I, II, IV or V, using up to 4 signaling and transmission pairs per channel (E/M, SG/
SB, T/R, and T1/R1). This card can be configured to function as Channel Equipment (normal multi-
plexer mode) or as Switching Equipment for back-to-back Tandem applications sometimes referred
to as Reverse E&M or Pulse Link Repeater (PLR).
11.2.2 Physical Description
Like the FXS and FXO/DPT voice cards, the 4-wire E&M/TO is a 7.8” by 13.16” daughter card that
slides into the back of the Access Bank II - SNMP (AB2 - SNMP) along rails that guide a 64-pin DIN
connector to mate with a matched connector on the internal ABI Controller. The E&M/TO card
receives T1 signaling, control logic, and -48 Vdc power through this connector from the Controller
card. Because the RJ-21X Amphenol Telco connector on the ABI front control panel fails to pro-
vide enough wiring leads, it is bypassed through a 96-pin E&M signaling line connector attached on
the opposite end of the card. The E&M signaling lines (E, SG, M, SB, T, R, T1 and R1) are connected
to this high-density 96-pin DIN connector. A bank of 12 channel status LEDs are located next to the
E&M signaling line connector on the ABI back plate. Each channel has jumpers that allow the chan-
nel to be configured for E&M Types I, II, IV and V signaling. Each channel also has a 10-position
DIP switch that allows the receive and transmit attenuation to be individually set from -22 dB to +10
dB. There is also a 4-position DIP switch located next to the processor for setting regular or clear
channel E&M signaling types and selecting busy or idle during carrier failure.
11.3 Typical Applications
The major applications for the 4-wire E&M/TO voice card are E&M Tie Lines operating in either
Normal or Tandem mode. This interface also supports two-way Direct Inward Dial (DID) applica-
tions. See Figure 11-1 and Figure 11-2 below for pictorial representations of these typical applica-
tions.

11.4 E&M Signaling Conventions
According to E&M signaling conventions, switching equipment always originates signaling on the
M-lead (the “mouth” sending toward the transmission line). The E-lead of the switching equipment

4-Wire E&M/TO Configuration
interface incorporates a signaling current detector (the “ear” listening to the line). The multiplexed or
carrier channel equipment always originates signaling on the E-lead coming from the transmission
line. The signaling current detector is found on the M-lead going toward the transmission line.
The 4-wire E&M/TO voice card can be optioned to operate either as channel equipment or switching
equipment. Since the Access Bank II - SNMP typically operates as a voice and data multiplexer, the
card is usually configured as channel equipment. This is referred to as tandem operation because the
card operates in tandem (i.e. back-to-back) with another transmission device.
Table 11-1 lists the generic functions performed by the Detector/Detector Return and Driver/Driver
Return when the 4-wire E&M card is configured to operate as Channel Equipment or Switching
Equipment.

11.5.1 Jumper Switch Settings
E&M signaling types I, II, IV and V (see Figure 11-3, Figure 11-4, Figure 11-5, and Figure 11-6) are
configured by jumpers J1, J2 and J3 located on each channel. Because the signaling types are config-
ured for each channel individually, different E&M types may be mixed on the same card. The entire
card, however, must operate in either Normal or Tandem mode, which is determined by the signaling

Note: The jumpers do not change the actual interface pin assignments for the E&M
signaling line connector. The detector and driver functions always stay on the same
pinouts.
11.6 Detector Configuration
Jumper 1 is used to select options for configuring E&M signaling types I, II, IV and V. This jumper
connects the detector to -48 Vdc or ground. It is also used to connect the Detector Return to -48 Vdc
or ground. An on-hook signal from the far-end equipment does not cause current to flow through the
detector. When the far-end equipment applies an off-hook signal, current flows in the detector, caus-
ing the detector to be grounded. The processor receives this information and sends E&M signaling
bits to the T1 line. The table below summarizes the signaling bits sent for both detector states:

11.7 Normal and Tandem Cables
Individual E&M/TO voice cards require the purchase of the Normal mode or Tandem mode cables
whether all twelve channels of that card operate only in that mode. Physically, the Normal and Tan-
dem cables have one 96-pin DIN connector that plugs into the E&M card. The 96-pin DIN connector
has two 50 conductor, 24 AWG cables leading to two 50-pin Telco connectors. The Telco connectors
use standard RJ-2HX pinouts for 4-wire E&M, providing six channels per connector (twelve chan-

11.8 Configuring Signaling Types and Trunk Processing
The 4-wire E&M/TO card is also equipped with a 4-position DIP switch for selecting between regu-
lar or clear channel E&M signaling types and setting busy or idle during trunk processing. This
switch is located at the front of the circuit board next to the 64-pin DIN connector.

11.9 TP Busy/Idle Switch
Use switch 4 to select whether the tip-ground relays are closed (busy) or open (idle) during trunk pro-
cessing. (Trunk processing occurs when the T1 line is in an alarm or reset state.) The Busy position
(OFF) causes the tip-ground relays to be closed during a T1 alarm or reset period. The Idle position
(ON) causes the tip-ground relays to be open during a T1 alarm or reset period.
11.10 Setting Transmit and Receive Gain
The transmit (analog-to-digital) and the receive (digital-to-analog) gain for each voice channel can be
set independently using twelve 10-position DIP switches on top of the 4-wire E&M card circuit
board. Each analog channel uses a bank of ten DIP switches, with five for transmit and five for
receive. The gain from each switch is additive, with switches 1-5 providing transmit (analog-to-digi-
tal) gain of 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 dB, respectively. Switches 6-10 set receive (digital-to-analog) gains of 1,
2, 4, 8, and 16 dB, respectively. With all five switches off, the gain is -21dB. Because the gain from
the switches is additive, any gain level between -21dB and 10dB is possible.
The digital transmission level is limited by the codec to a maximum of 3.17dBm0. The gain stages
may be set to apply up to 10dB of gain; however, the maximum level of the codec must not be
exceeded or distortion will result.
The analog transmission level may be set to a maximum 9.5dBm before distortion begins to occur.
11.11 Transmit (Analog-to-Digital) Gain
A transformer provides the analog input (T, R) from the 4-wire voice connections to the Access Bank
II - SNMP. The gain from each switch on the 10-position DIP switch is additive, with switches 1-5
providing gain of 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 dB, respectively. To calculate the T1 transmit level, use the follow-
ing formula:
T1 level = Analog Input level + åGain Switches - 21
The following is an example of setting transmit gain:
Suppose the analog input level is at +3dBm. With all switches off, the level at the T1 line is +3dBm -
21db = -18dBm0. To set a 0dBm0 level at the T1 line, switches 2 and 5 (gains 2dB, and 16dB) must
be turned on. The level at the T1 line is then:

4-Wire E&M/TO Configuration
T1 level = 3dBm + 16dB + 2dB - 21dB = 0dBm0
11.12 Receive (Digital-to-Analog) Gain
To calculate the receive level on the T1, R1 pair, use the following formula:
T1/R1 level = T1 level +åGain Switches -21dB
The following is an example of setting receive gain:
Suppose the T1 input level to codec is at -1dBm0. With all switches off, the output at the T1, R1 pair
is -1dBm -21db = -22dBm. To set a 4-wire transmission level of 0dBm, switches 7, 9 and 10 (gains
2dB, 8dB, and 16dB) must be turned on. The level at the T1, R1 pair is then:
T1/R1 level = -1dBm0 + 2dB + 8dB +16dB -21dB = 0dBm.
11.13 E&M Voice Channel Monitoring
11.13.1 Call Progress LED Indicators
A bank of LEDs on the ABI back plate are used to monitor the status of incoming or outgoing calls
on each of the twelve voice channels. When viewing the LED bank, channel 1 corresponds to the
LED in the top left hand corner. Other channels are arranged left to right, row by row (like reading a
book), so channel 12 is in the bottom right corner. The meaning of the states of these 12 LEDs are

Note: These tests as well as additional test functions can be performed using the
MS Windows-based Remote Monitor software. For directions on performing Self
Test loopbacks and tone transmission, enabling network loopbacks, and activating
automatic Alarm Cut-Off (ACO) via the software, see the separate Remote Monitor
User’s Guide.
12.3 Self Test 1 and 2
!
Caution: Because Self Test is a service-disrupting procedure. Disconnect all
attached telephones prior to initiating Self Test.
12.3.1 Local Mode: OFF = No Test Tone, ON = Ringback Tone
In the Local mode, when the Self Test DIP switch 1 or 2 is set to ON and the Trunk Processing Busy/
Idle switch on each equipped FX voice card is set to Busy, the T1 output signal from T1 Span 1 or
Span 2 is disconnected from the network and looped back into the appropriate T1 receiver. See Figure
9-1. The specified T1 signal is checked internally for framing, line coding, and bipolar violations
(BPV) errors, which verifies proper operation of the Controller card. The T1 signal from the specified
span is isolated at the T1 line connection point through relay contacts to ensure that all T1 transmit
and receive circuits are tested.
The Controller then runs a card level test and injects an internally generated ringback dual tone (440
Hz +480 Hz) into all attached PCM codec channels on the T1 span specified. This allows you to ver-
ify operation of the voice channels at the punchdown block or RJ-11 Harmonica with a telephone
“buttinsky” set. For normal Access Bank II - SNMP operation, the Self Test switch must always be
left in the factory default OFF position.
The self test takes up to 16 seconds. The T1 Test 1 or 2 LED turns red during the self test sequence.
When the self test is complete, the LED should turn green. (If the Test LED remains red for longer
than 16 seconds, the unit has failed the self test.) For the self test to be valid, the Access Bank II -
SNMP must be equipped with the Controller card and at least one voice card.
To start Self Test 1 or 2 in the Local mode:
1. Locate the Self Test 1 or Self Test 2 switch on the 10-position T1 Span Setup DIP switch on
the Access Bank II - SNMP Control Panel, and set it to the Self Test position (ON).

Self Test Fault Indications
2. Verify that T1 Test 1 or T1 Test 2 LED turns green after approximately 16 seconds.
12.3.2 Card Self Test
At the start of the self test sequence, when the Controller asserts the self test bit toward the voice
card, the following events occur on a per channel basis:
•
•
The voice card reads from the Controller and sees the self test flag at logic 1 (active).
The received A/B signaling bits are not processed since the signaling state machine is
skipped in software.
•
The outputs of the signaling state machine are forced to:

12.4 Self Test Fault Indications
12.4.1 Voice Channel LED is RED during Self Test
During Self-Test, a red channel LED may come on, but does not indicate a problem.
12.4.2 No Test Tone During a Self Test
If no ringback tone is present at the drop for a particular voice channel during a self test, there may be
an open or broken pair in the voice cable. If no test tone is present on any channel during a self test,
the voice cable may be disconnected. To correct the problem:
1. Check the voice cable for a loose connection.
2. Check the voice cable for a broken/open pair.
3. If no test tone is present on a set of 12 channels during a self test, the associated voice card
may be faulty. Try replacing the voice card.

12.4.3 Remote Mode: Ringback Tone or 1 Digital Milliwatt
When the Access Bank II - SNMP is powered up in Remote mode, the tone sent during the Self Test
can consist either of the same Ringback dual tone (440 Hz +480 Hz) sent in the Local Mode or a stan-
dard 1 kHz digital milliwatt test signal. In Remote mode, Ringback tone is the default setting.
12.5 1 kHz Digital Milliwatt Test Signal
The 1 kHz digital milliwatt signal test is used to check proper DS0 channel alignment and for isolat-
ing transmission failure problems between the Access Bank II - SNMP and connected switching
equipment.
As specified in AT&T PUB 43801, the transmission of the following repetitive eight byte pattern (1E/
0B/0B/1E/9E/8B/8B/9E) in a given channel should be decoded in a properly aligned receiving termi-
nal as a 0dBm0, 1 kHz sine wave signal:

12.6 Network Loopback 1 and 2
12.6.1 Local Mode: No Network Loopback or Network Loopback
Enabled
In the Local mode, setting Network Loopback 1 or 2 switch to ON causes the T1 signal received from
T1 network interface 1 or 2 to be looped back toward T1 line 1 or 2 by connecting the T1 receiver to
the T1 transmitter before the framer chip. See Figure 9-2. T1 signals are sent back to the network
exactly as they were received. No pulse stuffing, BPV correction, or framing is performed that would
corrupt T1 test patterns (such as a QRSS) received from the far end. Channel interfaces are held in the
Trunk Processing state when the Network Loopback switch is activated. The T1 Test 1 or T1 Test 2
LED on the Control Panel shows continuous yellow. All voice channel operations are suspended and
the channel status LED indicators on the back plate show continuous yellow.

Remote Mode: Remote T1 Line or Payload Loopbacks
12.7 Remote Mode: Remote T1 Line or Payload Loopbacks
In Remote mode, if the T1 line is ANSI T1.403 ESF formatted and Network Loopback detect and ESF
ANSI detect both has been enabled, the two types of loopback codes the Access Bank II - SNMP can
be configured to detect are Remote T1 Line and Remote Payload Loopback. The default setting in
Remote mode is Remote T1 Line Loopback.
12.8 ANSI T1.403 Remote T1 LLB
In a Remote T1 Line Loopback, upon receipt of a bit-oriented loopup command message consisting
of 0000111011111111 repeated at least 10 times toward the Access Bank II - SNMP in the Facility
Data Link (FDL), data recovered off the T1 line is transmitted back onto that T1 span specified with
no changes in bit sequence integrity, framing format or removal of BPVs. The Access Bank II -
SNMP should maintain the Remote LLB when it receives a loopback retention signal of
0010101011111111 sent continuously from the far-end. The loopback retention code word should be
present in the returned T1 signal. The Remote T1 LLB is released upon receipt of the bit-oriented
command message consisting of 0011100011111111, repeated at least 10 time in the FDL toward the
Access Bank II - SNMP. See ANSI T1.403-1995, Section 9.3.2.2-3 and Table 4.
12.8.1 ANSI T1.403 Remote Payload Loopback
In a Remote Payload loopback, upon receipt of a bit-oriented loopup command message consisting of
0001010011111111 repeated at least 10 times toward the Access Bank II - SNMP in the FDL, the
payload of the received T1 signal (192 information bits of a DS1 frame) is returned with no changes
in bit sequence integrity and newly generated ESF framing. The T1 Framer will correct the BPVs in
the 192 bits of payload data and re-transmit the data. The FPS framing pattern, CRC-6 calculation,
and the FDL bits are not looped back, but are instead, reinserted by the Framer. The remote PLB is
released upon receipt of the bit-oriented command message consisting of 0011001011111111,
repeated at least 10 times in the FDL.

Fault Isolation Procedures
Table 12-7: Control Panel LED Indications
Symptom
Corrective Action
All LED test and status indicators are
OFF.
Indicates a loss of power or excessive voltage to the
Access Bank II - SNMP. To correct the problem:
1 Verify that the Power Conversion Cube is plugged
into an active AC outlet and the power switch on the
power converter is turned on.
2 Check the circuit breaker on the Power Conver-
sion Cube.
3 If you are using an external -48 Vdc power source,
check the applied voltage. If the applied voltage is
incorrect (e.g., greater than -70 Vdc), disconnect the
external voltage source and correct its voltage output
level. The Access Bank II - SNMP circuitry will
automatically reset.
4 If the problem persists, the Access Bank II -
SNMP power supply on the Controller card has
failed. Replace the Controller card following the pro-
cedure given in the Maintenance section.
T1 Span 1 or 2 LED is RED.
The Access Bank II - SNMP is not receiving a T1
signal from the line indicated. To correct this condi-
tion:
1 Check the T1 interface cable at the RJ-48C jack
and at the carrier demarcation jack. Ensure that the
cable is properly plugged in. If so, go to Step 2.
2 Run a Self Test. If the affected T1 Test LED comes
up green, replace the T1 cable. If the problem per-
sists contact the service provider.
Table 12-8: Control Panel LED Indications (continued)
Symptom
Corrective Action
T1 Span 1 or 2 LED is YELLOW.
. Bipolar Violations (BPVs) are being received
from the network. A 1-second flash indicates
that at least one BPV was received during a 1-
second interval. To correct this problem:
1 Verify the T1 Line Code 1 or 2 option selected
matches the line coding sent by the carrier.
2 If the Line Code option is set correctly and the
problem persists, contact your service provider.

T1 Test 1 or 2 LED is RED.
If the T1 Test LEDs remain red for more than
16 seconds after a Self Test is initiated, the
Access Bank II - SNMP has failed the Self Test.
To correct the problem:
1 Verify that the Controller card and at least
one voice card are in place.
2 Power down the Access Bank II - SNMP for
60 seconds, power it up again, and repeat the
Self Test.
3 If the Access Bank II - SNMP fails the Self
Test again, replace the Controller card using the
procedure given in the Maintenance section.
T1 Test 1 or 2 LED flashes YELLOW.
The Access Bank II - SNMP is in Network
Loopback. If this condition persists, the Access
Bank II - SNMP may not have received a loop
down code to end the network loopback To
clear this condition:
1 Be sure the Network Loopback switch is set
to OFF.
2 Set the Self Test switch to the Self Test ON
position, then back to OFF.
12.13 Back Plate Indications
12.13.1 Voice Channel LED is RED (during a Self Test)
During a Self-Test, a RED voice channel LED may appear, and does not indicate a particular prob-
lem.
12.13.2 All Voice Channel LEDs flash RED
This usually indicates that an unsupported signaling option has been selected. Reconfigure the FXS
card to a supported signaling type.
12.14 Other Fault Indications
12.14.1 No Ringing During a Self Test
If no ringing signal is heard at the drop for a particular channel during a Self Test, there may be an
open or broken pair in the voice cable. If no ringing signal is heard on any channel during a self test,
the voice cable may be disconnected. To correct the problem:

Access Bank II - SNMP Shuts Down for No Apparent Reason
1. Check the voice cable for a loose connection.
2. Check the voice cable for a broken/open pair.
3. Use Remote Monitor software to run a Self Test Loopback with the Ringback tone. If no
ringing tone is heard at the drop, the ringback generator on the Controller card may be faulty.
Replace the Controller card using the procedure given in the Maintenance section.
12.15 Access Bank II - SNMP Shuts Down for No Apparent
Reason
Internal thermal protectors automatically shut down Access Bank II - SNMP operation if the operat-
ing temperature rises above 140º F (60º C). To correct this problem:
Verify that the Access Bank II - SNMP is properly ventilated to allow for heat dissipation, and reduce
the ambient temperature if necessary. The Access Bank II - SNMP resets automatically when the
temperature is reduced below 104º F (40 C).

14.2 Local/Remote Mode Selection
The Access Bank II SNMP comes equipped with two sets of external DIP switches for selecting local
or remote control. The DIP switches must be set to the remote software control mode in order to use
SNMP, CLI, or GUI management terminals.
In the local hardware control mode, you can use these DIP switches to perform self-tests for channel
alignment, to select basic T1 hardware configuration parameters (AMI/B8ZS, D4/ESF), and to
enable detection of standard D4/ESF inband loop codes by the integral CSUs.

14.3.2 SNMP Overview
SNMP is a complete, but simple, mechanism for network management. It works by exchanging infor-
mation between a Manager and an Agent. In this case, the Agent is inside the Access Bank II/SNMP.
The Manager is a Network Management Station (NMS), which is a computer with SNMP manage-
ment software such as HP OpenView® or Sun NetManager®.
The Agent stores the information in a Management Information Base (MIB), which contains items
such as the current status of the network interface, performance statistics, and alarms.
In general, SNMP is not concerned with controlling every feature of the many different network
objects. However, SNMP is flexible enough that it can support a wide variety of private enterprise

SNMP Management
objects with predefined MIB data structures. The Access Bank II/SNMP uses the Bellcore® standard
MIB for T1 interfaces.
Manager operations include simple “get” and “set” commands to retrieve and update MIB data in the
Agent. Normally, the Manager polls the Agent periodically to check traffic statistics. However, the
Manager can also set thresholds for traps. Traps specify network events and conditions for which the
Agent automatically sends a Telnet alarm message with trap data back to the Manager.
The Access Bank II SNMP Agent’s principle benefits are the proactive management of V.35 and
DSX-1 alarms, performance statistics, and line tests.
14.3.3 Protocols
The Manager and Agent are software applications. They communicate with each other through sev-
SNMP uses Ethernet as the physical link between the Manager and Agent. The Ethernet data can, in
turn, be carried over either of the T1 lines within a V.35 user data segment.
SNMP is an application-level protocol intended to work with the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and
Internet Protocol (IP) suite, which includes BootP, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP),
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and Reverse ARP (RARP). The advantage of UDP is that each
message is independent; no network connections are maintained between the Manager and Agent.

14.3.7 Traps
The Access Bank II SNMP agent supports the following standard SNMPv2 defined traps. In the
future, enterprise specific traps will be added. Interpretations of the trap values are:
coldStart Trap
A coldStart(0) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is reinitializing itself such that the
agent's configuration or the protocol entity implementation may be altered.
warmStart Trap
A warmStart(1) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is reinitializing itself such that
neither the agent configuration nor the protocol entity implementation is altered.
linkDown Trap
A linkDown(2) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity recognizes a failure in one of the
communication links represented in the agent's configuration. The Trap-PDU of type linkDown
contains as the first element of its variable-bindings, the name and value of the ifIndex instance
for the affected interface.
linkUp Trap
A linkUp(3) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity recognizes that one of the communi-
cation links represented in the agent's configuration has come up. The Trap-PDU of type linkUp
contains as the first element of its variable-bindings, the name and value of the ifIndex instance
for the affected interface.
authenticationFailure Trap
An authenticationFailure(4) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is the addressee of a
protocol message that is not properly authenticated. While implementations of the SNMP must
be capable of generating this trap, they must also be capable of suppressing the emission of such
traps via an implementation-specific mechanism.
egpNeighborLoss Trap
not supported
enterpriseSpecific Trap
A enterpriseSpecific(6) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity recognizes that some
enterprise-specific event has occurred. The specific-trap field identifies the particular trap,
which occurred. (to be implemented in the future)

14.3.8 Maintenance
The Access Bank II SNMP provides maintenance functions for the following SNMPv2 operations.
•
Loopback operations: T1 remote line and payload. Loopback operations verify and seg-
ment operating network interface circuits.
•
Fault isolation: BERT QRSS test patterns in conjunction with loopback operations.
The user may also employ standard Internet PING function tests to check the connectivity at the IP
layer.
All features of the Access Bank II SNMP are manageable through the Command Line Interface (CLI)
using a VT-100 terminal via the RS-232 port, or using a Telnet terminal session over the Ethernet
port.
All product configurations specified in RFC1406 and RFC1659 are controllable through SNMP Net-
work Management Stations, with the following exceptions: DSX-1 metallic loopback, bit error pat-
tern generation and detection, and advanced redundancy options. In future software releases, it will
be possible to add private enterprise objects that represent information specific to these Carrier
Access Corporation product features.
14.4 Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Command Line Interface gives the user the most complete management capability. The Com-
mand Line Interface is accessible via the 10BaseT Ethernet connection using the Telnet protocol or
via the RS-232 management port.
14.4.1 Local and Remote CLI Management
The Access Bank II SNMP provides CLI management through its RS-232 and Ethernet 10Base-T
For RS-232 CLI management, a cable is connected from the RS-232 port on the Access Bank II
SNMP to a PC or laptop computer. You can use a VT-100 terminal emulation program such as
Microsoft Hyper Terminal®. CLI can also be used from a remote site by connecting the RS-232 port
to a modem and telephone line.
For Telnet CLI management, you can use a Telnet TCP/IP communications program to access CLI
through the Ethernet management port. Remote Telnet CLI operation is available using Telnet over
Ethernet or using inband T1 via the V.35 data port.

GLOSSARY
10Base-T: 10Base-T is an IEEE standard for operating Ethernet local area networks (LANs) on twisted-
pair cabling using the home run method of wiring (the same as the phone company uses) and a wiring hub
that contains electronics performing similar functions to a central telephone switch. The full name for the
standard is IEEE 802.3 10Base-T.
AIS (Alarm Indication Signal): Also known as a “Blue Alarm Signal” or “All Ones Keep Alive,” an AIS
is an unframed all ones bit pattern sent by equipment at the far end to indicate that an alarm condition exists
upstream in a circuit leading to the downstream equipment. Keep-alive signals are required by the network
facilities to prevent oscillation of the line repeaters which causes interference (i.e. cross-talk and bleeding)
within adjacent channels.
AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion): An AMI encoded signal is a bipolar pseudo-ternary signal conveying
binary digits (bits) in which successive “marks” are normally of alternating, positive and negative, polarity.
This is the traditional method of line encoding used with bipolar DS1 (T1) signals. However, use of AMI
does not preclude long strings of zeros being sent in the signal entering the public network from the DTE in
violation of the pulse density requirements mandated in Part 68 of the FCC Rules and/or AT&T Publication
62411.
ANI (Automatic Number Identification): ANI is a service available from the telephone company on
certain links that identifies the phone number of the caller to an attached computer telephony system.
B8ZS(BINARY 8-ZERO SUBSTITUTION): This line coding scheme is one of the methods used to avoid
long strings of zeros in a bipolar DS1 signal entering the network from the DTE. Every string of eight zeros
is replaced by a special code (token) for transmission over networks that are sensitive to long strings of ze-
ros. The code contains a pattern of bipolar violations that is identified by the recipient and then removed in
the decoding process to recreate the original string of zeros. This particular method of line coding is the
evolving standard, but one that is not yet fully supported by all carriers.
BIT ERROR RATE (BER): The ratio of bits received in error to total bits transmitted. The time over which
this rate is calculated is not inherent to the definition of BER and, therefore, can be separately specified.
BERT (BIT ERROR RATE TESTER): A test instrument for performing Bit Error Rate testing on a T1
line. See BER.
BLUE ALARM SIGNAL: See AIS.
BPV (BIPOLAR VIOLATION): A violation of the T1 bipolar AMI transmission pattern in which succeed-
ing “ones” (pluses) are sent at opposite polarities. A BPV normally indicates a transmission error. However,
B8ZS patterns contain bipolar violations, which are not counted as errors.
CENTRAL OFFICE (CO): Telephone company facility where subscribers’ lines are joined to switching
equipment for connecting other subscribers to each other, locally and long distance.

CHANNEL SERVICE UNIT: See DSU/CSU
CONNECTION: A connection is a logical linkage between timeslots on a span or between spans.
CROSSTALK: Crosstalk occurs when you can hear someone you did not call talking on your telephone
line to another person you did not call. You may also only hear half the other conversation (i.e. just one per-
son speaking). There are several technical causes for crosstalk relating to cable placement, shielding and
transmission techniques.
CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT (CPE): Items of telecommunications equipment, such as key
systems, PBXs, answering machines, and CSU/DSUs, which reside on the customer’s premises past the net-
work interface.
CYCLICAL REDUNDANCY CHECK (CRC): A check sum indicator based on the remainder of a poly-
nomial calculation performed on the transmitted data that is used to verify, with some fixed probability of
correctness, whether that data was transmitted.
D4 SUPERFRAME (SF) FRAMING FORMAT: The most popular framing format in the T1 environ-
ment. Its name stems from the way framing is performed in the D-series of channel banks from AT&T.
There are 12 separate 193-bit frames in a superframe. The D4 framing bit is used to identify both the channel
and the signaling frame. In D4 framing, signaling for voice channels is carried inband by every channel
along with the encoded voice. “Robbed bit signaling” is a technique used in D4 channel banks to convey
signaling information. With this technique, the eighth bit (least significant bit) of each of the 24 8-bit
timeslots is “robbed” every sixth frame to convey voice related signaling information (on-hook, off-hook,
etc.) for each voice channel.
DATA SERVICE UNIT: See DSU/CSU
DATA TERMINAL EQUIPMENT: See DTE
DCE (DATA CIRCUIT-TERMINATING EQUIPMENT):
DIRECT INWARD DIALING (DID): The ability for a caller outside a company to call an internal exten-
sion without having to pass through an operator or attendant. In large PBX systems, the dialed digits are
passed down the line from the Central Office (CO). The PBX then completes the call.
DIGITAL ACCESS & CROSS-CONNECT SYSTEM (DACS): A digital switch for routing and switch-
ing T1 lines (and individual DS0 channels within T1 lines), among multiple T1 ports. It performs all the
functions of a normal switch, except connections are typically set up in advance of a call, not together with
a call, as in most, low bandwidth voice-band voice and data communications systems. A DACS is basically
a manual T1 switch. The Windows-based Remote Monitor software program can be used to implement DS-
0 DACS functionality in the Access Bankô II.
DIP (DUAL INLINE PACKAGE) SWITCH: A tiny switch attached to a printed circuit board with semi-
permanent settings that usually requires a ball point pen or small screwdriver to change. There are only two
settings - ON or OFF (1 or 0). In the case of the ABII, configurations set by the DIP switches can be mod-
ified later through the MS Windows Remote Monitor software installed on a PC.
DIRECT OUTWARD DIALING (DOD): The ability to dial directly from an extension without having to
go through an operator or attendant. In PBX and hybrid phone systems, you dial 9, listen to a dial tone, and
then dial the outside number you want to reach.

DNIS (DIRECTORY NUMBER IDENTIFICATION SERVICE): DNIS is a feature of 800 and 900 lines
that provides the number of the caller dialed to reach the attached computer telephony system. Using DNIS
capabilities, one trunk group can be used to serve multiple applications. The DNIS number can be provided
in a number of ways, inband or out-of-band, ISDN or via a separate dedicated data channel.
DPO (DIAL PULSE ORIGINATION) CHANNEL UNIT
DPT (DIAL PULSE TERMINATING) CHANNEL UNIT
DROP & INSERT (D&I): As applied to T1, D&I refers to the process whereby one DS-0 channel is de-
multiplexed out of the DS-1 synchronous bit stream at one port of a digital channel back and another DS-0
inserted back in. The Windows-based Remote Monitor software program can be used to perform D&I on
individual channels between two T1 lines connected to the Access Bankô II.
DSU/CSU (DATA SERVICE UNIT/CHANNEL SERVICE UNIT): A device terminating a digital chan-
nel on a customer’s premises where it performs line coding, line conditioning and equalization functions
while responding to the receipt of loopback codes sent from the Central Office (CO) A DSU/CSU sits be-
tween the digital line coming in from the CO and devices such as channel banks or data communications
devices.
DSX (DIGITAL SYSTEM CROSS-CONNECT frame): A bay or panel to which T1 lines and DS1 cir-
cuit packs are wired that permits cross-connections by patch cords and plugs. A DSX panel is used in small
office applications where only a few digital trunks are installed.
DTE (DATA TERMINAL EQUIPMENT): In the EIA/TIA 232E standard specification, the RS232 inter-
face is connected between the DCE (Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment) and the DTE. The main differ-
ence between the DCE and the DTE is the pins two and three are reversed. The ABII uses an RS-232 port
for management and asynchronous and synchronous data transmission.
DTMF (DUAL TONE MULTIFREQUENCY SIGNALING): A method of signaling in which a combina-
tion of two frequencies out of a possible eight are used to transmit numerical address information. The eight
possible frequencies are 697 Hz, 770 Hz, 852 Hz, 941 Hz, 1209 Hz, 1336 Hz, 1477 Hz, and 1633 Hz.
E&M SIGNALING: A signaling arrangement that uses separate leads, called respectively the E lead and
the M lead, for the signaling and voice signals. The M lead (derived from ‘Mouth’) transmits ground or bat-
tery to the distant end of the circuit, while incoming signals are received as either a grounded or open con-
dition on the E (derived from ‘Ear’) lead. The E&M tie trunk interface functions as a de facto standard in
the PBX - T1 multiplexer Telco environment.
ESF (EXTENDED SUPERFRAME FORMAT):
FACILITY DATA LINK (FDL): The 4 Kbps channel used to transmit supervisory

Access Bankô II, that incorporates a controller, channel service unit (CSU), ringing generator and power
converter on a single card to interface between the T1 network and the analog functions of the channel bank.
PBX (PRIVATE BRANCH EXCHANGE):
PERFORMANCE REPORT MESSAGE (PRM):
PLAR (PRIVATE LINE AUTOMATIC RINGDOWN): A leased voice circuit that connects two single
telephone handsets together. Whenever either handset is lifted, the other instrument automatically rings.
PSTN (PUBLIC SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORK): As used by the ITU-T, PSTN is simply an
abbreviation for the local phone company
QRSS (QUASI-RANDOM SIGNAL SEQUENCE): A standard test pattern generated by a 20-bit linear
feedback shift register used during loopback and BER testing to stress test the continuity and integrity of a
T1 circuit by simulating live data traffic. Generates every combination of 20-bit words, repeats every
1,048,575 bits, and suppresses consecutive zeros to no more than 14. Contains high density sequences, low
density sequences, and sequences that change from low density to high density and vice versa.
RING BACK TONE: An interrupted low tone indicating that the called telephone is ringing. This tone is
generated by a device at the Central Office (CO) and may bear no relationship to the sound the phone at the
other end is emitting - or not emitting.
RING GENERATOR: A component of virtually all phone systems, including the Access Bankô II, that
supplies the power to ring the bells inside phones, typically 90 volts AC at 20 Hz.
RINGER EQUIVALENCY NUMBER (REN): Part of the FCC certification number approving a tele-
phone terminal product for direct sale to the end user as not doing harm to the network. The REN consists
of a number and a letter which indicates the frequency response of that telephone’s ringer. The number in-
dicates the quantity of ringers which ma be connected to a single telephone line and still all ring. The total
of RENs of the telephones connected to the one line must not exceed the value 5 or some or all of the ringers
may not operate.
SCADA (SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION):
SLC 96 (SUBSCRIBER LOOP CARRIER 96): A short-haul multiplexer manufactured by AT&T
Technologies that enables up to 96 telephone customers to be served on three pairs of wires.
SNMP (SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL): SNMP is an application layer connec-
tion-less protocol, running over UDP (User Datagram Protocol), that functions as TCP’s stack network
management protocol between a management station and a SNMP agent resident in a managed device. For
managing TCP/IP-based networks, SNMP is the de facto standard. SNMP is designed to implement an au-
tomated network-management system for controlling and performance monitoring managed devices such
as hosts, bridges, routers, CSU/DSUs, and channel banks in networks and distributed processing systems.
SPAN: A span is a logical name for an access port into the Access Bank II. A span carries Voice/Data in-
formation to/from the Access Bank.
TIMESLOT: 64Kbyte/s channels on a T1 span. A T1 span contains 24 timeslots.
TRANSMISSION ONLY (TO): An operating mode on a 4-wire E&M card that provides dedicated one-
way transmission paths to radio and modem equipment uncorrupted by the insertion of A/B robbed bit sig-

naling.
TRUNK PROCESSING (TP):
WINK: A signal sent between two telecommunications devices as part of a handshaking protocol. It is a
momentary interruption in SF (Single Frequency) tone, indicating that the distant Central Office (CO) is
ready to receive the digits that have just been dialed. In telephone switching systems, a single supervisory
pulse. On a digital connection such as a T1 circuit attached to an Access Bank II, a wink is signaled by a
brief change in the A and B signaling bits. On an analog line, a wink is signaled by a brief change in polarity
(electrical + and -) on the line.
WINK OPERATION: A timed off-hook signal normally of 140 milliseconds, which indicates the avail-
ability of an incoming register for receipt of digital information from the calling office.
