3.072 Mbps of synchronous bandwidth capacity for connecting customer premises telecommunica-  
tions equipment to public and private network DS1 services. An Internet or router V.35 port may be  
configured for up to 1.5 Mbps on one T1, while all 24 voice channels are terminated on a second T1.  
1.3 Features, Functions, and Options  
The Access Bank II SNMP combines the functions of an intelligent CSU/DSU, digital access &  
cross-connect switch (DACS), and channel bank in a single product that includes the following stan-  
dard features, functions, and options.  
1.3.1 Standard Features  
Dual T1 ports with integrated diagnostic ESF CSUs  
3.08Mbps total available bandwidth  
V.35 DCE data port (to 1.536Mbps)  
Drop and Insert (D&I)  
DS0 Digital Cross-Connect System (DCS)  
Command line interface (CLI) for local or remote mangement.  
RS-232 Command Line Interface and optional Remote Monitor program.  
Embedded SNMP agent supporting MIB-II and standard MIBS for T1 and V.35 via a  
TCP/IP and 10base-T Ethernet connection  
115 Vac to -48 Vdc Power Converter Cube  
Standard 25-pair female telephone cable connector  
1.3.2 Software Programmable Functions  
Drop & Insert (D&I): 1 T1/CSU with 1 T1/CSU D&I port  
2 T1/CSU DSO Digital Cross-Connect (DCS) with three frames maximum (0.375ms)  
T1-toT1 delay  
Bandwidth allocations of voice and data  
ESF to D4 (SF) and D4 to ESF conversions for PBXs with T1 interfaces  
Time of day DS-0 mapping to optimize voice and data utilization  
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

Figure 1-1: Local and Remote SNMP Management  
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.

1.7.4 Windows-Based GUI Management Software  
The Windows®-based GUI Management software (Figure 1-4) provides a graphical user interface  
(GUI) that makes management as easy as clicking a mouse button. Pull-down menus and Index Tabs  
make it easy to find just the function you’re looking for. CAC’s GUI Management software provides  
convenient access to most features of the Access Bank II SNMP. For detailed software description,  
see Access Bank II SNMP User Manual.

1.7.5 Local and Remote GUI Management  
For configuration, monitoring, and testing purposes, each Access Bank II SNMP is shipped with  
CAC’s Windows®-based GUI management software, backed by a full-featured system of context-  
sensitive online help. Installed on a local 486 (or higher) IBM-compatible PC equipped with at least  
16 MB RAM, Windows 95®, a keyboard and a mouse, this software program provides a convenient  
user-friendly interface for configuring and monitoring the performance of the Access Bank II SNMP  
via the RS-232 management port (Figure 1-5).

The GUI management software can also be installed on a remote Windows® PC for management  
over a separate PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) analog line. In this application, the GUI  
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.

2.1 About This Chapter  
This chapter describes the general physical characteristics and layout of the Access Bank II - SNMP,  
including its:  
Dual RJ-48C Jacks for T1 Span 1 and Span 2  
V.35 and RS-232 Digital Interface Ports  
Power Source Connector  
Standard 25-pair RJ-21X Tip & Ring Telephony Connector  
T1 Span and System Setup DIP switches

2.2 Physical Characteristics  
The Access Bank II - SNMP consists of a painted sheet steel chassis housing, nickel-plated chassis  
tray and removable back plate that accepts one (or two) 7.8 inch by 13.16 inch analog line interface  
daughter card(s). These analog line interface channel cards slide into the rear of the unit along rails  
that guide a 64-pin DIN connector on each card to mate with a matching connector on an internal

Controller card. The Controller card measures approximately 4 inches by 16.25 inches and functions  
as a Line Interface Unit (LIU) that integrates the two Channel Service Units (CSUs), the ringing gen-  
erator, the ringback tone generator, and power converter functions. Separate Dual T1 and SNMP  
daughter cards measuring 1.75 inches by 6.25 inches are each mounted on the Controller card using  
support standoffs, plastic washers and screws. The Dual T1 daughter card is equipped with two stan-  
dard RJ-48C 8-pin connector jacks for connecting to one (or two) T1 carrier network interface(s).  
The SNMP daughter card is equipped with an RJ-45 modular jack for TCP/IP 10Base-T Ethernet  
connection.  
The Access Bank II - SNMP is 1.75 inches high, 17.75 inches deep, and 17 inches wide and, when  
fully loaded with two analog line interface daughter cards, weighs approximately 14.5 pounds.  
The Access Bank II - SNMP is designed to operate at an altitude between 0 and 10,000 feet above sea  
level and within a temperature range from 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) and in environments with a rela-  
tive humidity from 0 and 95%.  
Note: For proper Access Bank II - SNMP operation outside the specified ranges,  
the unit must be placed in an environmentally controlled enclosure.  
2.3 Control Panel Interface Connectors  
The Control Panel on the front of the chassis housing contains the following connectors and power  
connection terminals shown in Figure 2-1:  
Dual T1 Span 1 and Span 2 line connection ports each equipped with standard RJ-48C 8-  
pin connector jacks.  
V.35 DCE Data port equipped with a 26-pin standard D-type subminiature connector  
(female) for high-speed digital Internet WAN connections up to 1.536 Mbps.  
Note: An optional V.35 data cable is required to utilize the V.35 DCE data port.  
RS-232 Remote Management port equipped with a standard 26-pin D-type subminiature  
connector (female) for connection to an external PC or Hayes -compatible modem for  
local or remote configuration, management, and performance monitoring using the  
Access Bank II - SNMP Remote Monitor MS Windows-based software interface or com-  
mand line interface.  
Note: An optional Dual Headed Data and Management Cable is required to connect  
to the primary Management and secondary Data leads for simultaneous local or  
remote management and asynchronous or synchronous data connections.

Converter Cube, or to a customer-supplied external -48 Vdc battery power source.  
Tip & Ring Analog Interface equipped with standard 25-pair Telephony Connector  
(female) for connection to key systems, facsimile devices, modems and PBXs.  
The ABII Control Panel is equipped with an interface connector for accessing the embedded SNMP  
agent.  
2.4 Control Panel DIP Switches  
The Access Bank II - SNMP Control Panel also contains a 10-position T1 Span Setup DIP switch that  
is used for individually configuring each of the two T1 network interfaces. There is also a 4-position  
System Setup DIP switch for selecting between Local or Remote modes of management and activat-  
ing and deactivating alarm cut-off. The locations of these DIP switches are shown in Figure 2-1. As  
an aid to setting up the these DIP switches, a convenient installation guide is silk screened onto the  
chassis housing and reprinted here in Figure 2-2.  
2.5 LED Test and Status Indicators  
There are five LED indicators that display the current performance and test status of the dual T1  
spans lines and V.35 digital interface. Figure 2-1 shows the locations of these LEDs on the Access  
Bank II - SNMP front Control Panel. How to interpret the current state of each LED indicator is silk  
screened onto the chassis housing and reprinted here in Figure 2-2.

In addition, you will need one or more of the following items:  
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%.  
º
º F  
An ambient temperature that stays below 40 C (104 ).

º
Caution: If the operating temperature rises above the 40 C limit an internal  
!
thermal protection device will shut off the Access Bank II - SNMP. When the  
temperature is reduced below this threshold, the Access Bank II - SNMP  
restarts.  
An installation site below 10,000 feet (3,048 m).  
For operation outside these ranges, the Access Bank II - SNMP must be placed in an  
environmentally controlled enclosure.  
!
Caution: When you mount the chassis, do not allow the Access Bank II -  
SNMP to remain in direct contact with any combustible surface.  
4.4 Wall Mounting  
The adapter brackets attached to the Access Bank II - SNMP are positioned at shipment for wall-  
mounting. To wall-mount the unit:  
1. Select a location that meets the criteria specified above. Leave at least 1/2 inch clearance  
below the chassis for ventilation. Leave at least 6 inches in front of the Access Bank II -  
SNMP Control Panel for access to its switches and LEDs and at least 18 inches behind the  
back plate for maintenance.  
2. To create a 3/4 inch offset between the Access Bank II - SNMP chassis and the wall surface  
for better ventilation, mount a 3/4 inch thick piece of plywood (at least 20 inches vertically  
by 14 inches horizontally) on the wall using fasteners appropriate for mounting a heavy  
object (see Figure 4-1).  
3. Mount the Access Bank II - SNMP chassis to the plywood with eight #8 x 3/4” pan-head (or  
larger) wood screws (Figure 4-1).  
4.5 Rack Mounting  
The Access Bank II - SNMP can be rack-mounted using several different methods. The small adapter  
brackets shipped with the unit can be used to mount the unit in a standard 19” rack with a typical five-  
inch offset. Using the recommended heavy-duty brackets, you can mount the Access Bank II - SNMP  
in either a 19” or 23” rack with a custom offset.

Surface Mounting  
4.5.1 Rack Mounting with Brackets Shipped with Unit  
To mount the Access Bank II - SNMP in a standard EIA 19-inch Telco equipment rack using the  
included adapter brackets:  
1. Remove the two front adapter brackets, rotate them 90 degrees and re-attach the brackets so  
they face toward the unit back plate (Figure 4-2). This creates a standard five-inch offset  
mounting typical of telecommunications equipment.  
2. Select an appropriate location in the rack with at least 1 3/4 inches of clearance above and  
below the chassis for ventilation. Also ensure that there is at least 6 inches in front of the  
Control Panel for access to its controls and DIP switches, and at least 18 inches behind the  
back plate for maintenance.  
3. Mount the chassis using 10-32 x 3/4” machine screws appropriate for a Telco rack (Figure 4-  
3).  
Note: The optional heavy-duty rack mounting brackets (see Figure 4-4) can  
significantly increase static strength and provide a custom front-to-back offset when  
mounting the units on either 19” or 23” racks (see Figure 4-3).  
4.5.2 Mounting with Heavy-Duty Brackets  
1. Remove the four small front adapter brackets from the Access Bank II - SNMP.  
2. Attach the heavy-duty brackets to the Access Bank II - SNMP using the screws included in  
the heavy-duty bracket kit (see Figure 4-3).  
3. Select an appropriate location in the rack with at least 1 3/4 inches of clearance above and  
below the chassis for ventilation. Also ensure that there is at least 6 inches in front of the  
Control Panel for access to its controls and DIP switches, and at least 18 inches behind the  
back plate for maintenance.  
4. Mount the chassis on the rack using 10-32 x 3/4” machine screws appropriate for a Telco  
rack (Figure 4-3).  
4.6 Surface Mounting  
To surface-mount the Access Bank II - SNMP as a desktop stand-alone, simply place it on a flat, sta-  
ble, non-combustible surface with at least 1/2 inch ventilation clearance below the unit. Leave at least  
6 inches in front, and 18 inches in back of the chassis for ventilation and access to its controls. Leave  
at least 3/4” above the chassis for required ventilation.

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  
Bank II SNMP Control Panel (see Figure 5-1). You will need a standard 25-pair telephone cable with  
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.  
Note: If you are connecting an external alarm, note in Table 5-2 that pair 25 of the  
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.  
Table 5-2 defines the pin functions on the 50-pin Amphenol-type Tip & Ring jack.

Note: The Dual RS-232 DCE Data and Management Cable (P/N 005-0001) is an  
optional accessory, and can be purchased from distributors and dealers of CAC  
products.  
5.7.2 Local Management Cable  
To perform local or remote management and performance monitoring using the Command Line Inter-  
face or MS Windows-based Remote Monitor software installed in a local PC or laptop computer  
requires using the CAC 25-Pin Local Management Cable (P/N 005-0003). This 10-foot cable is  
equipped with a 26-pin male D-type subminiature connector on the end that mates with the Access  
Bank II SNMP RS-232 secondary data port (COM2) and a DB25 female connector on the DCE end  
for connection to the RS-232 communications interface of the local PC or laptop. Both this cable and  
a 25-pin to 9-pin “straight adapter” (P/N 005-0007-25M-9F-Straight) are included with the Access  
Bank II SNMP, permitting attachment to laptop computer DB9 ports.  
Figure 5-5 shows these connectors and connection points.

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.

5.8.1 DC Power Connector Input  
!
Warning: Connect only -48 Vdc power to the DC input connector.  
The Access Bank II SNMP has a 3-position DC Power Connector Input located on the Control Panel,  
as shown in Figure 5-1. To conform with UL 1459 and National Electrical Code safety requirements,  
the Access Bank II SNMP is equipped with solid-state, automatic-resetting, current-limiting devices  
to protect the -48V Input and +DC Return power inputs on this connector from AC power surges,  
lightning, or inductive motor spikes. This means there are no internal fuses for you to replace.  
Pinout assignments for this connector are defined in Table 5-9.

itor User’s Guide.  
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  
attached to the secondary connectors of the RS-232 Management port. Figure 7-1 illustrates these  
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  
7-2  
9/24/01  
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  
Remote Monitor GUI software interface, refer to the separate Remote Monitor User’s Guide. If you  
need information on using Microsoft Windows , refer to your Windows documentation.

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:  
1. Release the two thumbscrews on the AB2 back plate and remove the plate (see Figure 8-2).  
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).  
3. To set different transmit and/or receive gain or loss levels, refer to Figure 8-1 and Table 8-1.  
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  
channel-by-channel basis according to the incoming T1 signal. See Table 8-2 for all switch combina-  
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  
in Table 8-2 are described in further detail in the next section.

8.6.1 Option Switches A, B, and C  
Signaling options selected by the A, B, and C option switches are discussed below according to the  
numbered sequence from 0 to 7 in Table 8-2.  
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.

Switch A  
ON  
Switch B  
ON  
Switch C

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.  
8.6.1.5 Option 4. E&M Immediate-Start-to-Ground-Start Conversion  
Switch A  
OFF  
Switch B  
OFF

8.6.1.6 Option 5. Wink-Start to Loop-Start Conversion with ANI/DNIS and  
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.  
8.6.1.7 Option 6. Wink-Start to Ground-Start Conversion with ANI/DNIS  
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.

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

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  
BRFXS/DPO voice lines. The meaning of these LEDs is summarized above in Figure 9-4.  
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).

9/24/01

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.

tion.  
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  
9/24/01

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 Programming E&M Signaling Types  
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  
cable used (Section 11.7, Normal and Tandem Cables). Table 11-2 (which is also printed on the 4-  
wire E&M back plate) shows the proper jumper connections for each signaling type and mode.

between the positions indicated above. This makes configuration easier by changing several connec-  
tions with one move. The jumper pins are on 0.1” x 0.2” centers, making it impossible for the user to  
accidentally turn the jumper 90 degrees and short -48V to ground.  
Figure 11-7 shows the jumpers as they appear on the 4-wire E&M/TO card. Figure 11-7 also shows  
each of the eight possible signaling combinations as complete channel setups.  
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  
listed below in Table 11-4. The type of cable used with the signaling line connector determines  
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-  
nels per card). Figure 11-8 and Figure 11-9 show the 4-wire E&M/TO cables.

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  
summarized in Table 11-6.

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.

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).

13.2 Replacing a Voice Card  
To replace a voice card while the Access Bank II - SNMP is hot, refer to Figure 13-1, then follow  
these steps:  
1. Release the two thumb screws on the back plate of the Access Bank II - SNMP and remove  
the plate.  
2. On the voice card you wish to remove, lift the card ejector latches to release the card from its  
internal connector.  
3. Carefully slide the card out of the back of the Access Bank II - SNMP.  
4. Check the channel attenuation loss and gain option settings on the replacement voice card  
and verify they are set correctly for your intended application. If necessary, reset the channel  
attenuation option settings.  
5. Ensure that the replacement voice card is positioned correctly in the guide rails, then care-  
fully slide the card into the slot.  
6. Press the card ejector latches in towards the card until the 64-pin DIN connector on the card  
mates with a matching connector on the Controller card.  
7. Replace the back plate and tighten the thumbscrews.  
!
Caution: “Hot swapping” an FXS card will cause all 24 channels to go  
through Trunk Processing for 16 seconds. All calls will be disconnected and  
must be dialed again after the Access Bank II - SNMP returns to its normal  
operating state.

and includes summaries of its:  
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management  
Command Line Interface (CLI) Management  
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 SNMP Management  
The Access Bank II SNMP provides:  
Built-in SNMPv2 Agent software providing network statistics, information retrieval and  
update, trap thresholds, and automatic transmission of trap data to Network Management  
Stations.  
Application Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Telnet, per  
RFC 1902 through 1907. Management Information Base (MIB), per RFC 1573.  
Transport Support for Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol  
(UDP), per RFC 1213.  
Internet Support for Internet Protocol (IP) version 4, Internet Control Message Protocol  
(ICMP), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and Reverse ARP (RARP), per RFC 1213.  
Managed Object Support for T1 interfaces, per RFC 1406. Serial RS-232 and V.35 inter-  
faces for SNMPv2, per RFC 1659.  
14.3.1 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

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-  
eral protocol layers (Figure 14-2) that are normally transparent to the user. The Access Bank II/  
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  
ports, as shown in Figure 14-3 and Figure 14-4.  
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.

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.
