Conexant Proprietary and Confidential
line cards (J1 or J2). Startup will take approximately 30 seconds to com-
plete (for 228 kbps operation only). During startup, the green START-UP
LED will blink to indicate that start-up is in process.
4.
If startup fails, the red ERROR LED will illuminate momentarily and
startup will begin over again. If startup is successful, the green
START-UP LED will stop blinking and become steadily illuminated, and
the EVM will begin transmitting and receiving external data through the
BNC connectors on the line cards (J5, J6, J7 and J8). This state is
referred to as the Normal Operation state.
5.
If during the Normal Operation state, one of the line cards detects an
error condition (i.e., Loss of Signal (LOS) or low noise margin), the line
card will deactivate and the red ERROR LED will blink for approxi-
mately 2 seconds. The line card will then attempt to re-startup on the
given loop.
UIP Quick Start
1.
Verify the RS-232 connectors on the EVM line cards (J4) are connected
to COM1 for the central unit and COM2 for the remote unit on the PC.
Also verify the UIP is installed on the PC according to the instructions on
the UIP installation disk and in the UIP User’s Guide.
2.
In the UIP directory, type “8960EVM” and press enter.
3.
The UIP will default to the “EVM Configuration” form. “BT8960”
should be displayed in column #1 of the “Bitpump Type” field for both
the HTU-C and HTU-R. Press escape to exit.
4.
In the main menu, select “Startup”. In the “Custom Startup Options”
form, select “Global Activate”. Startup should begin (verify the green
START-UP LEDs on the line cards are blinking). The UIP will indicate
the status of the EVM as it attempts to startup.
5.
If startup is successful, the UIP will display the “Startup Successful”
message. Now the Bit Error Rate Detector should begin passing data (On
the FIREBERD the “sync” indicator will illuminate).
Recommended Equipment
Line Simulator

Phone: (800) 267-7235
NOTE:
Several versions of DLS 200 models are available to simulate ANSI and
ETSI ISDN and CSA loops. The model should be chosen according to the
application and data rate. Brooktree used the DLS 200 ISDN ANSI and
ETSI models to evaluate the 288 kbps loop performance of the Bt8960.
