NT5D33 and NTRB34 Line-side E1 Interface Cards
553-3001-105
Standard 5.00
June 1999
Overview
The Line-side E1 Interface card (LEI) is an intelligent peripheral equipment
(IPE) line card that provides a cost-effective, all-digital connection between
E1 compatible terminal equipment (such as voice mail systems, voice
response units, trading turrets, etc.) and a Meridian 1 system. In this
application, the terminal equipment can be assured access to 2500 type line
functionality such as hook flash, SPRE codes and ringback tones generated
from the Meridian 1. The LEI supports line supervision features such as loop
and ground start protocols. It may also be used in an off-premise arrangement
whereby 2500 type sets are extended over twisted pair or coaxial E1 with the
use of channel bank equipment.
The LEI offers significant improvement over the previous alternatives. For
example, if a digital “trunk-side” connection were used, such as with the
DTI/PRI interface card, “line-side” functionality would not be supported.
Previously, the only way to achieve the line-side functionality was to use
analog ports and channel bank equipment. With the LEI, a direct connection
is provided between the Meridian 1 and the peripheral equipment. No channel
bank equipment is required, resulting in a more robust and reliable
connection.
When used for connecting to third-party applications equipment, the LEI
offers a number of benefits. It is a more cost-effective alternative for
connection because it eliminates the need for expensive channel bank
equipment. In addition, the Line-side E1 supports powerful E1 monitoring,
and diagnostic capability. Overall costs for customer applications may also be
reduced because the E1-compatible peripheral equipment is often more
attractively priced than the analog-port alternatives.
The LEI is compatible with all IPE-based systems supported on X11 Release
17 and later software. The card is also compatible with standard public or
private CEPT-type carrier facilities. It
supports CRC-4
-
or FAS only framing
formats as well as AMI or HDB3 coding. Because it uses standard PCM in
standard E1 timeslots, existing E1 test equipment remains compatible for
diagnostic and fault isolation purposes.
A/B Bit signaling may be customized
according to the user’s system, including the Australian P2 signaling scheme.
