UMOD hardware theory of operation 3–49
E2/T2 receive operations.
In the receive direction, the RD
LIU takes RxC and RxD lines from the UMOD motherboard or
IFU and produces bipolar pulses of appropriate shape. The pulses
are transformer-coupled. The T2 or E2 signals are output across
the backplane to the RD port of the CIM. The output signal
conforms to CCITT G.703 recommendations.
Balanced T2 data is encoded using B6ZS coding, unbalanced T2
data is encoded using B8ZS line coding. (Operation using AMI
coding is uncommon). B6ZS coding does not allow more than six
successive zeros to be transmitted because zeros are represented
by the lack of pulses. B6ZS coding substitutes a unique code that
includes a combination of ones, zeros, and deliberate bipolar
violations as a substitute for these zeros. This guarantees that a
minimum pulse density is present for accurate clock recovery. For
a description of B8ZS coding, refer to section “E1/T1 receive
operations.”
Line coding for unbalanced E2 is usually HDB3 (operation using
AMI coding is uncommon). For a description of HDB3, refer to
section “E1/T1 receive operations.”
Twin-bearer D&I bipolar interface
Note
Twin–bearer operation in the 10–PAK chassis is limited to a balanced
G.703 interface. The unbalanced G.703 does not permit twin–bearer
operation.
This interface uses two separate bearers, in combination with the
IFU, to support independent drop and insert multiplexers. The
twin-bearer D&I bipolar interface, together with the primary
bipolar interface, supports a twin-bearer drop-and-insert
multiplexer. This interface uses the following CIM ports for
twin-bearer operations:
•
SD port and DDO (drop-data-out) port for bearer #1
•
IDI (insert-data-in) port and RD port for bearer #2
Each of the twin bearers can operate independently in E1
(balanced or unbalanced) or T1 (balanced) mode. CIM ports IDI
and RD provide the insert multiplexer. Ports DDO and SD provide
the drop multiplexer. Normally, both drop and insert multiplexers
are configured to operate at the same rate, however, because the
GIM is designed to allow for a mixed-rate operation, the user can
set up the drop multiplexer (SD and DDO ports) to operate in (for
example) T1 mode, and the insert multiplexer (IDI and RD ports)
to operate in E1 mode. For E1 operation, a mixture of balanced
and unbalanced interfaces is allowed. Coding scheme selection
(AMI, B8ZS, or HDB3) can be different for each port.
