4. OPERATION

During normal operation the NIU3 PM is transparent to 
the network. In the event of circuit trouble, test 
equipment at the central office control terminal can 
monitor the loop. When a loopback is initiated, the 
transmit/receive paths can be tested to the customer 
interface.

Monitoring

Front panel mid-size monitoring jacks provide nonin-
trusive monitoring access through a high-impedance 
bridging circuit. The monitor level is nominally 21.5 dB 
below the signal power. The signal to the network is 
monitored via the 

CUST TO NTWK MON

 jack; the 

signal to the customer is monitored via the 

NTWK TO 

CUST MON

 jack.

Loss of Signal

In the event of a loss of signal, the NIU3 PM provides 
both a “keep alive” signal and LED notification. 

• If there is no signal from the network, the 

NTWK 

LOS/AIS

 LED turns on red, and the NIU3 PM will 

transmit an unframed all ones signal toward the 
customer, while simultaneously transmitting RAI 
towards the network.

• If there is no signal from the customer, the 

CUST

 

LOS/AIS

 LED turns on red, and the NIU3 PM will 

transmit the signal selected by the 

Customer LOS

 

option

 

on the 

Provisioning

 

menu. The four selec-

tions that can be sent to the network upon customer 
LOS are as follows:
– Framed Idle
– AIS
– No Signal
– AIS-CI

Loss of Framing

If either 

NTWK

 or 

CUST C-BIT

 and 

M13

 LEDs are both 

off, the associated network or customer signal is 
unframed.

If the NIU3 PM cannot detect framing in the signal from 
the Network, then the NIU3 PM transparently passes 
unframed data toward the Customer and RAI back 
toward the Network.

If the NIU3 PM cannot detect framing in the signal from 
the Customer, then the NIU3 PM transmits AIS-CI 
toward the Network.

In the event that data transmitted through the circuit is 
intended to be unframed, the AIS/RAI response to loss 
of framing can be disabled via the Provisioning terminal 
screen. 

If the AIS/RAI response is disabled, then the NIU3 PM 
will transparently pass unframed data from the Network 
to the Customer and vice-versa.

Table 3 

on page 7

 

provides a summary of the operation 

of the NIU3 PM fault conditions.
