Line cards
Description
T1 connections
T1 signaling for all 24 channels is transmitted over P2 connector pins 1, 3, 9,
and 11 as shown in Table 25. Plug the DB15 male connector labeled “P2”
into the T1 link. T1 transmit and receive pairs must be turned over between
the line-side T1 card and CPE equipment that is hardwired without carrier
facilities. If the line-side T1 card is connected via T1 carrier facilities, the
transmit and receive pairs must be wired straight through to the RJ48 at the
Telco demarc, the CSU, or other T1 carrier equipment. The T1 CPE
equipment at the far end will likewise have transmit and receive wired
straight from the RJ48 demarc at the far end of the carrier facility.
External alarm connections
P3 connector pins 3, 4, and 28 can be plugged into any external alarm
hardware. Plug the male DB9 connector labeled “P3” into the external alarm.
These connections are optional, and the functionality of the line-side T1 card
is not affected if they are not made.
The MMI (described in detail in “Man-Machine T1 maintenance interface
software” on page 109) monitors the T1 link for specified performance
criteria and reports on problems detected. One of the ways it can report
information is through this external alarm connection. If connected, the
line-side T1 card’s microprocessor activates the external alarm hardware if it
detects certain T1 link problems that it has classified as alarm levels 1 or 2.
(See “Man-Machine T1 maintenance interface software” on page 109 for a
detailed description of alarm levels and configuration.) If an alarm level 1 or
2 is detected by MMI, the line-side T1 card will close the contact that is
normally open, and will open the contact that is normally closed. The MMI
command Clear Alarm will return the alarm contacts to their normal state.
MMI connections
P5 connector pins 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are used to connect the line-side T1 card to
the MMI terminal and daisy chain line-side T1 cards together for access to a
shared MMI terminal. When you log into a line-side T1 card, “control 2” is
asserted by that card, which informs all of the other cards not to talk on the
bus, but rather to pass the data straight through. The pins labeled “control 1”
are reserved for future use. As with the external alarm connections, MMI
connections are optional. You can link up to 128 line-side T1 cards, located
in up to 16 separate IPE shelves, to one MMI terminal using the daisy
chaining approach.
