Output Module Reference Data
E1/2048 kHz Output Module
E1/2048 kHz Output Module
This section provides reference data for the E1/2048 kHz Output module (part
number 23413292-000-0) designed for use in the SSU-2000 Synchronization
Supply Unit.
Functional Overview
The E1/2048 kHz Output module generates 20 outputs that are software- selectable
for either E1 or 2048 kHz output signals. Each output port can be turned off
independently of other ports; relays on each port disconnect the driver output from
the output pins. A squelch feature turns off selected ports when the system PQL
falls below predetermined quality levels.
The E1 signal has a multiframe format, with Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) and
CRC4 always turned on. These default settings do not affect functionality. The
Synchronization Status Message (SSM) is always available, and is repeated in bits
positions 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of time slot 0 of the odd frames. Zero suppression can be
turned on or off as required. When zero suppression is off, the signal has Alternate
Mark Inversion (AMI) encoding. When zero suppression is on, HDB3 encoding is used.
Provisioning the Signal Type
You use software commands to set the signal type on each port of the E1/2048 kHz
Output module. To view or provision the output frequency using ICS commands,
see
To view the output frequency setting, use the TL1 command
RTRV-PRMTR-
OUTE12048
, described in
Retrieve Commands and Responses
, on page 275. To
provision the output parameters, use the TL1 command
SET-PRMTR-OUTE12048
,
Output Squelching
The E1/2048 kHz Output module allows you to selectively turn off (squelch) the
outputs during periods of degraded performance.
This feature allows you to turn off any of the 20 output ports on redundant or non-
redundant modules. The SSU-2000 uses the system Priority Quality Level (PQL) to
determine when the system is operating within specified limits; if the outputs
become degraded, the module automatically turns off the assigned ports.
To enable the squelching feature, you must provision a “threshold” PQL value using
the OUTPUT command (for ICS mode) or the SET-PRMTR-OUTE12048 command
(for TL1 mode). A threshold PQL value of zero disables the squelch function.
Threshold PQL values above zero enable the squelch function; when the system
PQL is greater than the threshold PQL, the output is squelched.
