If the LED is ON (bright) then voice and data testing should be completed by 

using an ISDN Basic Access Tester, Digital CPE Simulator, laptop or similar 
device. Use the tester to confirm “Power Source 1 restricted”. A brightly lit state 
will confirm layer 1 activated but not the presence of a TEI. On System X ex-
changes a double slow flash may be observed every 15 seconds, this is caused 
by the line card toggling between Info State 2 and 0. This is typical of all embed-
ded System X lines when there is no CPE connected or CPE is detected but not 
in the correct Info State. The LED not lit or permanently fast flashing indicates a 
problem with the network connection. A permanently slowly flashing LED could 
indicate a problem with the customer wiring or CPE. BT Engineers Assistance

6. NTE Bypass function for PSTN and Broadband mode (Extended Use) 
The NTE will detect the line voltage from the exchange and switch automatically 
to the ISDN or PSTN mode. The NTE will provide PSTN service to the PSTN 
socket if a standard analogue line card is used and will act as an NTE5. When 
the ISDN service is jumpered/enabled in the Local Exchange, the NTE supports 
ISDN services and the PSTN socket is disconnected. The NTE will switch back 
to the analogue PSTN mode if the ISDN service is removed/de-configured. 
The NTE will switch out of copper bypass at 75 ±8 volts and switch back into 
copper by-pass when the voltage falls below 30 ±3 volts. An internal switch 
SW3 (position: see fig. 3) is provided so the installer can over ride the by-pass 
feature to allow operation on low voltage ISDN lines.

Safety 

 

 

This equipment complies with the European directives 
89/336/EEC “Electromagnetic Compatibility” (EMC) and 
73/23/EEC “Low Voltage Directive”. 

 

Do not work on the NTE and its wiring, e.g. connect or dis-
connect cables, during periods of lightning activity. 

 

 

Hazardous Voltages ! 
Remote Power Feeding / ISDN connection (Line) 
The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that 
should be inaccessible to user contact. Do not attempt to 
tamper with or open the NT1 or the connection hardware. 
Maintenance must be made only by suitably trained engi-
neers. 

 

ESD Protection (for service personnel) 
When handling the unit with the cover opened, please use 
ESD protection methods acc. to EN 100 015. 
Not required for normal installation. 

 

All customer ordered facilities must be tested prior to handover to 

customer. 

This guide should be retained for future reference. 

 

Returns 

If the NTE is proved to be faulty on installation, please return it using the 

BT return procedure. 

 

If you have any comments to make about this documentation, or the ISDN NTE 

please email: [email protected]
