Figure 1. D3LX CO and D3LX RMT Modules  
The D3LX CO module occupies two card slots in a local, Soneplex Loop Extender Chassis (LEC). The D3LX  
RMT module occupies two card slots in a Four-Position Remote Terminal Cabinet, or Two-Position QLX Remote  
BNC Chassis. A D3LX Remote Craft Access Module (D3RCAM) may also installed to provide maintenance  
terminal access at the remote site. For more information on the D3RCAM, refer to LTPS-UM-8017-xx, the  
Four-Position Remote Terminal Cabinet, refer to ADCP-61-151, or the Two-Position QLX Remote BNC Chassis,  
refer to LTPS-UM-8029-xx.  
The D3LX modules are part of a system that converts a metallic DS3 circuit at the CO site into a DS3 optical signal  
that uses Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) to transmit a signal across one single-mode fiber to a D3LX  
RMT via a D3LX LTU at the CPE site. The D3LX RMT module converts the optical signal back into an electrical  
DS3 and transmits the signal back to the D3LX CO residing in the LEC as shown in Figure 2 on page 2.  
The D3LX modules perform the following functions:  
Exchange status, alarm, and protection switching information.  
Perform bit error rate monitoring of the optical link.  
Monitor the optical input for Loss-Of-Signal (LOS) and Loss-Of-Frame (LOF).  
Monitor the laser bias for degradation.  
Retrieve remote module status.  
Provide 1+1 Protect mode (line protection).

PROTECTION SWITCHING  
The D3LX system may be configured for either protected or non-protected mode. For protected mode, two  
modules are installed: working and protect. The working module carries the signal, while the protect module is in  
standby. Each working module uses 1 group, physically occupying 2 slots. Each protected module occupies an  
additional 2 slots; there are four slots required for each D3LX system.  
In protected mode, the offline module is switched into service whenever the D3LX determines that a service fault  
has occurred in the online module.

LTPS-UM-8013-03  
Front-Panel Description  
Automatic Switching  
The 1:1 (Line) Protect mode transmits identical traffic across two parallel systems. The working and protect D3LX  
modules provide Automatic Protection Switching (APS) compatible with the remote D3LX module. APS is  
non-revertive and bidirectional and may be forced or disabled through the front-panel pushbuttons or the SCU  
software.  
Service is automatically switched from the online D3LX module to the offline module when one or more of the  
following events occur:  
Offline module detects a failure in the online module.  
Online module detects an optical failure. (LOS, LOF, or BER threshold is exceeded.)  
APS is completed within 50 msec of the initiation of a switch. After the occurrence of three automatic switches  
within a 24-hour period, APS is locked out. APS may be enabled again through the front panel interface or the  
craft interface.  
APS to the offline module can be disabled. To do this, simultaneously press the LMPTST/APS and ENABLE  
pushbuttons on the online module’s front panel. APS can be restored by pressing both pushbuttons a second time.  
BER Monitoring  
The optical link is continuously monitored for bit errors. If the bit errors exceed a predetermined threshold, and  
the D3LX is configured for protection, protection switching occurs and an alarm is indicated. The optical alarm  
is indicated when the threshold exceeds 10-6 to 10-10 (default is 10-8). The optical switch threshold may be set  
between 10-4 and 10-10 (default is 10-6).  
Manual Switching  
Service can be manually switched from the online D3LX module to the offline module by simultaneously pressing  
the LMPTST/APS and ENABLE pushbuttons located on the offline module’s front panel. This disables the APS  
causing the APS LED to turn yellow. The ONLINE LED of the new online module (formerly the protect module)  
turns green, indicating a successful transfer of service. The ONLINE LED of the new offline module (formerly  
the working module) is not lit, indicating it is in standby mode and not carrying the DS3 service.  
APPLICATIONS  
D3LX modules can be used in a number of solutions:  
Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) Applications—D3LX modules support the transmission of  
SMDS service through the network.  
Private Line Interconnect Applications—D3LX modules provide private point-to-point LAN interconnect  
services through the use of the D3LX.  
DS3 Video Distance Learning Applications—D3LX modules provide high quality video signal transmission  
that is the most cost-effective solution for DS3 video transport.  
DS3 Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM) Applications—D3LX modules provide high speed ATM  
services using D3LX at a fraction of the cost of an OC-3 multiplexer.

Installing the BNC Panel  
INSTALLING THE BNC PANEL  
OVERVIEW  
The ADC BNC Panel consists of 14 pairs of 75BNC connectors that are part of a system that converts an  
electrical DS3 circuit at the CO site into an optical signal that uses WDM to transmit a signal across one  
single-mode fiber to a CPE site. The BNC Panel can support 7 working D3LX lines and 7 protection D3LX lines.  
(Table 2 on page 8 lists each working slot location as labelled on the front panel of the chassis and its  
corresponding protection slot.)  
The D3LX CO (CO module) converts the optical signal at the CO site and the D3LX RMT (remote module)  
converts the optical signal back into an electrical DS3 and transmits the signal back to the D3LX CO residing in  
the Loop Extender Chassis (LEC).  
A BNC Panel and ADC adapter cables are required when D3LX modules are installed. Prior to ordering ADC  
adapter cables, measure the distance between the BNC Panel and the chassis. For more information about  
installing D3LX modules, refer to “Installing a D3LX CO Module in an LEC” on page 9.  
INSTALLATION OF THE PANEL  
Prior to installing the ADC adapter cables (BNC-3-CBL-WW), remove any existing wires from the  
LINE wire-wrap row on the back of the LEC.

Mount the panel in the rack.  
Secure the panel to the rack by using the provided screws.  
On the front of the panel, connect the DS3 IN (transmit) and DS3 OUT (receive) coax cables as shown in  
Figure 4 on page 8. Note the connector numbers on the BNC panel.  
In every group of 4 slots, such as 1-1 through 1-4, the right most two slots have cables plugged into the bottom  
2 wire-wrap pins (T1 and R1), and the two left most slots have cables plugged into the top 2 wire-wrap pins  
(T and R). If it is a protected system or a single D3LX module, then slots 1-2 and 1-4 do not have cables.  
For example, a D3LX CO module plugged into slot 1-1 of the chassis or in a 2 D3LX protected system:  
The DS3 receive cable plugs into the bottom 2 pins T1 and R1 of slot 1-1. This is the DS3 that the D3LX  
receives.  
The DS3 transmit cable is plugged into the top 2 pins T and R of slot 1-3. This is the DS3 that the D3LX  
transmits.  
In another example, for a D3LX CO module plugged into slot 1-3 of the chassis in an unprotected system:  
The DS3 receive cable plugs into the bottom 2 pins T1 and R1 of slot 1-2. This is the DS3 that the D3LX  
receives.  
The DS3 transmit cable plugs into the top 2 pins T and R of slot 1-4. This is the DS3 that the D3LX  
transmits.

5
From the rear of the panel, connect the coax end of an ADC adapter cable to the DS3 IN (receive) connector.  
The connector number must match the connector number on the front of the panel.  
Connect the wire-wrap conversion block end of the same ADC adapter cable to the T and R EQUIP wire-wrap  
posts on the back of the LEC as shown in Figure 4 on page 8. The top of the conversion block mates with the  
T and R LINE wire-wrap posts to prevent improper connection.

INSTALLING A D3LX CO MODULE IN AN LEC  
Avoid exposure to invisible laser radiation.  
Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber or directly into the module fiber connectors as  
exposure to invisible laser radiation may result.  
Use a meter to verify active fibers.  
Do not insert module edge connectors into the chassis connectors before connecting the  
optical fiber to the module. Verify that LED indicators are not lit, and the module is not  
engaged with the chassis connectors before proceeding.  
When using D3LX CO modules in a group, never install other Soneplex modules in any of the  
unused slots in the same group.  
Remove any existing wire wraps from the LEC backplane prior to installing any ADC adapter  
cables (BNC-3-CBL-WW) for the groups that are being used for D3LX modules.  
Use the following procedure to install D3LX CO modules in LECs:  
1
Select the fiber-optic patch cord with the appropriate length (the measured distance from the Fiber  
Distribution Frame or equivalent distribution device) and the appropriate type optical connector (SC or FC  
type).  
2
Route the fiber patch cord through the top of the chassis, along the heat baffle/fiber management panel. Lower  
the cord through the FiberGuide vertical duct to the location reserved for the D3LX CO module as shown in  
Figure 5 on page 10. The protective cover must remain on the fiber connector to prevent dust and damage to  
the connection. The fiber should be tagged to identify the circuit.  
3
Open the front panel of the LEC into which the D3LX CO will be installed.

Provisioning  
LTPS-UM-8013-03  
15 Store the remaining slack fiber on the left side of the fiber management enclosure within the remote cabinet,  
leaving 5 to 6 inches of slack fiber above the upper card guide to provide a service loop.  
PROVISIONING  
In D3LX systems, provisioning occurs automatically if a remote module is installed. In the event that a remote  
module is not installed or properly functioning, refer to the manual provisioning process below.  
MANUAL  
Manual provisioning of the D3LX system may be performed locally through the SCU (version 3.7 or later) or  
remotely through the D3RCAM. Craft interface software provides a user-friendly menu driven program to option  
the modules in the system and maintain a provisioning database at the central office. In the chassis with the SCU,  
provisioning instructions pass to resident modules through communication channels embedded in the backplane  
of the chassis.  
Perform manual provisioning through the craft interface of the D3LX module after installation or when changes  
occur in the network system configuration. For complete information about manual provisioning, refer to the  
Soneplex Loop Extender System Operation and Maintenance Manual (Version S1.0), document ADCP-61-494  
and Soneplex Shelf Controller User Manual (V3.7).  
AUTOMATIC  
Automatic provisioning occurs in a previously provisioned system when replacing the D3LX module or when  
power to the module is lost and then restored. In systems with D3LXs at the CO, the SCU provides provisioning  
data to the module (slot) that powers up, based on the database established when the system was previously  
provisioned.  
When an SCU is replaced at the CO, the new SCU module requests provisioning data from the  
D3LX CO modules in the local chassis and from the remote modules optically connected to  
them. Additionally, the SCU retains its provisioning database up to 24 hours after power is lost.  
The following items are configured during provisioning:  
Protect or Non-Protect operation  
BER Minor Alarm Threshold (range, 10-6 to 10-10)  
BER Switch Threshold (range, 10-4 to 10-10  
Equipped/Unequipped state  
Line State  
)
In-Service (IS)  
Out of Service (OOS)  
Alarm reporting options. For more information, see “Alarm Setting During Provisioning” on page 19.

Setting Up System Options  
OTHER PROVISIONING CONSIDERATIONS  
Alarm Setting During Provisioning  
The D3LX generates alarms on conditions occurring in the D3LX CO modules DS3 facility. The severity of the  
alarm conditions as Critical, Major, Minor, or Event is selected while provisioning. The alarms are handed off to  
an Alarm Processing Unit (APU) which acts as an interface between the D3LX modules and the customer alarm  
monitoring equipment. For more information on alarms, see “Configuring D3LX Alarms” on page 25.  
D3 Remote Craft Access Module (D3RCAM) Option  
The D3RCAM is a plug-in module for the D3LX system which provides a craft interface at the remote site.  
Additionally, the D3RCAM works in conjunction with the APU and the D3LX modules to display alarm  
information for the remote chassis or terminal.  
SETTING UP SYSTEM OPTIONS  
To configure D3LX system options, you must connect a maintenance terminal to an available craft port. You may  
select either the SCU or Ports 2 or 3 (local) or the D3RCAM (remote) craft port.  
CONNECTING A MAINTENANCE TERMINAL TO THE SCU CRAFT PORT  
Connect the VT100 compatible terminal or host computer to the interface port as follows:  
1
For initial setup, connect the local maintenance terminal to the SCU craft port (on front panel). After  
configuration, the SCU may be connected to ports 2 or 3 on the backplane of the LEC. For more information  
on Ports 2 and 3 located on the LEC, refer to Soneplex Loop Extender System Operation and Maintenance  
Manual, ADCP-61-494. See Table 3 for chassis port descriptions.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Before the system tests are started, the fiber-optic network and DS3 lines at both ends must be connected. The  
STATUS and DS3 ONLINE LEDs should be illuminated green.  
Table 8 is intended as an aid in localizing trouble. If trouble is encountered with the operation of the D3LX, verify  
that all installer connections are correct and that the options are configured properly. If technical assistance is  
required, refer to “Appendix C - Product Support” on page 41. ADC strongly recommends that no internal  
(component level) repairs be attempted on the module. The only field service should be a fuse or module  
replacement. Any unauthorized adjustments or repairs may void the unit’s warranty.
