Introduction  
T1/FT1 OVERVIEW  
T1 digital communication links have been used by the  
transmitting companies (Telcos) for the transmitting of voice  
since the early sixties. The D4 channel bank is an example of  
a T1 digital carrier system that was introduced in the mid  
seventies and is still widely used by the Telcos.  
Communication demands of businesses continued to grow to  
the point that the Telcos began offering T1 service directly to  
the public. D4 channel banks began to be used for T1 in  
corporate network topographies for voice. The technological  
advances in computer development created a demand also  
for T1 data communication which now is a large part of the  
T1 traffic.  
T1 Service Offerings  
T1 is a digital service that is delivered to the user over two  
pairs of wires from the service provider. The signal operates  
at 1.544Mbps and is usually extended by repeaters that are  
installed about every mile after the first 6000 feet. The T1  
signal is divided into 24 time slots which operate at 64 kbps  
(DS0s). Each time slot is occupied by digitized voice or by  
data.  
The T1 signal originally used a type of framing known as D4  
Superframe which identifies how the T1 is multiplexed. An  
enhancement of that framing format is available now called  
Extended Superframe (ESF). ESF provides a non-disruptive  
means of full time monitoring on the digital facility. It was  
originally used by the service provider to monitor the

Chapter 1. Introduction  
performance of their service offering. Since the introduction  
of ESF, equipment that is installed in private networks can  
also provide the same performance information to the user.  
Fractional T1  
Fractional T1 lets the buyer purchase less than a full T1  
circuit between two points. Most carriers offer fractional T1  
in increments of 56 or 64 kbps. Connection is made to the  
same network elements. The network allows multiple users  
to share the same interoffice T1 bandwidth.  
Fractional T1 remains almost exclusively an Inter-Exchange  
Carrier (IXC) service. Local Exchange Carriers (LECs)  
typically do not offer FT1, so the user's proximity to the IXC's  
point of presence (POP) is key in the savings that fractional  
T1 offers.  
Fractional T1 local access is available in two forms, 56kbps or  
a full T1 line. In 56 kbps the required number of DDS lines is  
extended from the IXC POP and the bandwidth is combined  
at the office on an outbound T1 circuit. The user pays for the  
individual 56K lines and the amount of the interoffice T1  
utilized. In T1 access, the user pays for a full T1 to the IXC  
POP and then only for the bandwidth utilized.

Functional Description  
The ADTRAN TSU is one of several T1 multiplexers that  
offers complete flexibility for connection of various data  
sources to T1 or FT1 facilities. This family of TSU  
multiplexers includes the following.  
1. TSU - a T1 CSU/DSU with a single NX56k/64k serial  
port. See Figure 1-1, above and Figure 1-2 on page 1- 4.  
2. TSU 100 - same as the TSU with the added feature of a  
slot in the rear panel to house an option module. Each  
module offers up to four additional data ports.  
3. TSU 600 - same as the TSU with the added feature of six  
slots in the rear panel to house up to six option modules.  
Each module offers up to four additional data ports for a  
total of 24 possible data ports.  
The TSU serves as the link between user data sources such as  
LAN bridges and routers, computers, CAD systems and  
teleconferencing equipment. The amount of bandwidth  
allocated to the port is custom programmable. The DTE data  
can occupy contiguous or alternate channels in the T1 stream,  
and the channels may start at any position.

Chapter 1. Introduction  
Three Methods of Control  
Front Panel  
The front panel provides complete and easy control of all  
items that can be configured through menu guided options.  
The front panel LCD also displays the status of operation and  
performance reports for the unit. A complete discussion of  
the operation of the front panel and all the menu options is  
found in Chapter 3, Operation.  
Adtran PC Program  
T-WATCH is the ADTRAN PC control program. It provides  
complete control over the configuration of the TSU using a  
graphic interface. The T-WATCH program displays the same  
status and performance data as the front panel LCD. This  
data is displayed in the form of tables and graphs.  
The T-WATCH program has the following capabilities.  
1. Interfaces with a modem which permits dialing into a  
remote TSU location to configure the unit or read the  
unit’s status or performance.  
2. The performance data read from the units can be  
exported in a file which is compatible with common  
spread sheet programs.  
SNMP  
The ADTRAN TSU will support the Simple Network  
Management Protocol (SNMP) through an ADTRAN proxy  
agent in mid 1994. The proxy agent runs on a PC and can  
interface to the TSU directly or via a modem, in the same  
manner as the T-WATCH PC program.

Chapter 1. Introduction  
TSU Clock Sources  
The TSU is operable from various clock sources permitting it  
to perform properly in many different applications. The  
network interface clocking options are set by using the  
Network (NI) Configuration menu options. There are three  
clock source options available.  
Network  
DTE Timed  
Internal Timing  
The clocking option selected always designates the clock source for  
transmission. Clocking necessary for receiving data will always be  
recovered from incoming data.  
Network Timed  
The network is the source of timing. The received data  
clocking is looped back to the network where it is used to  
determine the transmission timing. This option is also  
referred to as looped timed as the transmission clock is derived  
from the received clock. See Figure 1-4.

Chapter 1. Introduction  
DTE Timed  
The DTE is the source of timing. The TSU uses the incoming  
DTE clock to determine the transmission timing. This is  
typically used in applications where it is necessary to have  
the DTE as the Primary Clock Source, (such as limited  
distance line drivers). See Figure 1-5.

Internal Timing  
The TSU is the source of timing. The TSU is configured to use  
its own internal oscillator as the source of timing.  
Applications include private line driver circuits where one  
end is set to network and the other to internal.

Chapter 1. Introduction  
TSU Testing  
Currently the TSU offers three forms of testing.  
Self Test  
Loopback Tests  
Pattern generation and check  
Self Tests  
The self test checks the integrity of the internal operation of  
the electronic components by performing memory tests and  
by sending and verifying data test patterns through all  
internal interfaces. Although actual user data cannot be  
passed during these tests, the self test can be run with the  
network and DTE interfaces in place and will not disturb any  
external interface.  
The self test automatically executes upon power up. It can  
also be commanded from a front panel menu or from the  
control port.  
In addition to the specified self tests, background tests are  
also run on various parts of the internal electronics. These  
will run during normal operation to confirm continued  
correct functioning. The background tests include; 1)  
monitoring the phase locked loop for lock, 2) the standard  
background network performance monitoring, as required  
by ANSI T1.403 andAT&T 54016 for which the results are  
stored.  
Loopback Tests  
A number of different loopbacks can be invoked locally from  
the front panel, by T-WATCH commands or remotely by  
using special inband codes (AT&T D4 network loop up and  
loop down codes; V.54 loop up/loop down codes for the  
Nx56k/64k serial interface). Additionally the loopbacks can  
be remotely controlled by out-of-band commands via the T1  
ESF FDL, or from T-WATCH via a modem connection.

Chapter 1. Introduction  
Network Loopbacks  
There are two types of network loopbacks; see Figure 1-7.  
Line Loopback: loops all of the received data back  
toward the network. The transmitted data is the identical  
line code that was received, including any bipolar  
violations or framing errors.  
Payload Loopback: similar to Line loopback, except that  
the framing is extracted from the received data and then  
regenerated for the transmitted data.

Chapter 1. Introduction  
DTE Interface Loopbacks  
The Nx56k/64k serial interface offers a DTE loopback. See  
Figure 1-8.  
DTE Loopback: loops all data from the DTE back towards  
the DTE. This loopback may be initiated by the DTE asserting  
the Local Loopback (LL) input on the connector or by using  
front panel or T-WATCH commands. The DTE (or external  
test equipment) must provide any test pattern in order to  
check the DTE interface.

Pattern Generation  
The TSU offers four available test patterns, All Ones, 3:24,  
and 511 and 1:8.  
All Ones  
Need definition  
3 in 24  
The 3:24 is a stress pattern which places the maximum  
number of 0s in the transmitted data. This is always done  
over all DS0s. This pattern is used in conjunction with  
external test equipment to determine if the T1 line is  
preforming acceptably under a stress condition.

TSU User Manual  
1-13  
 
                   
Chapter 1. Introduction  
511  
The 511 pattern is generated and checked by the Nx56k/64k  
serial interface. It only appears in the DS0s assigned to the  
Nx56k/64k port. When used in conjunction with the payload  
loopback at the far end as previously described, an end to  
end integrity check can be made on the DTE ports.  
1 in 8  
The 1:8 pattern is used similarly to the 3:24. Each channel of  
the T1 has only one bit set.  
Application  
Using the V.35 DTE interface, a bridge or router can be  
interfaced to the network. The bandwidth used is  
programmable at Nx56 or Nx64 data rates for T1 or FT1  
service. The bandwidth can be selected as contiguous or  
alternate. See Figure 1-9.

POWER UP TESTING AND INITIALIZATION  
When shipped from the factory, the TSU is uninitialized and  
set to factory default conditions. At the first application of  
power, the unit will automatically execute self tests followed  
by an initialization sequence which sets up the unit.  
Self Test  
Upon a power-up or commanded self tests the LCD displays  
ADTRAN TSU INITIALIZING and the LEDs illuminate  
sequentially. When the self test is completed with no failures  
detected, the LCD will momentarily display ALL TESTS  
PASSED. If a failure is detected it is displayed in the LCD  
window. The automatic self test procedure consists of the  
following tests.  
1. Board level tests.  
RAM tests; EPROM checksum  
On board data path. Sending a known test pattern  
through an on board loop.  
2. Unit level tests.

units, and whether to initialize a modem and the control port  
data rate.  
POSITION  
Determines if this TSU is at the head of a chain of units  
(directly connected to the modem or PC). The head of the  
chain is referred to as the Master Unit. Units down the chain  
are referred to as Slaves or a Slave Unit.  
The setting of the position selection is necessary only when  
using a modem, in which case the head unit should be  
Master. For all other cases, select SLAVE. (The Master is in  
charge for control of the modem.)  
Choices: MASTER; SLAVE  
MODEM INIT  
The TSU is capable of initializing a modem. This menu  
selection is used to effect this initialization and should be  
selected only when the choice above designates the TSU as  
the MASTER. Prior to modem initialization it should be  
physically connected to the TSU and the power turned on. At  
this point, an industry-standard AT command string is used  
to initialize the modem. The string is also used following  
future power-up sequences.  
Choices: ENAB - Enable; DISA - Disable

Chapter 3. Operation  
DATA RATE  
Selects the data rate for the control port. This should be  
consistent with all units on a chain and with the modem  
and/or PC/Proxy Agent serial port.  
Choices: 1200, 2400, 9600  
2) ALARMS  
Used to initialize the method by which the control port  
handles alarm conditions.  
TRAPS  
This setting determines if alarm conditions should  
automatically send alarm messages (traps) to the controlling  
PC/Proxy Agent. The setting is for this unit, or for slaves if  
this unit is a master.  
Choices: ENAB - Enable; DISA - Disable  
OUTPUT  
Selects whether the alarm traps (if enabled) are sent directly,  
or if the telephone number stored in the TSU should be  
dialed first (industry-standard AT dial command sent to  
modem).  
Choices: DIRECT or DIAL  
TEL NUM  
This is the telephone number which is dialed to obtain alarm  
traps. The string can be up to 20 characters in length and is  
terminated with a semi colon (;) as the last character. A colon  
(:) character is used to represent a pause in the dial string.  
Example: For number 9:5551212; dial 9, pause, and then send  
5551212. This pause could be effected to access an outside  
line form a PBX, etc.  
When editing a specific character, the scroll keys are used to  
scroll from 0 to 9, then “:” and “;”. The new telephone  
number is entered into the TSU only upon pressing ENTER  
after typing the “;”.  
Choices: 20 digits (0-9, : and ;)  
The typed digits are accepted only after pressing ENTER.

2. Press ENTER. The first nine submenu items appear.  
3. Continue with standard operating procedures.  
RATE 56/64  
This sets the base rate of the interface. The actual data rate  
depends on the number of DS0s assigned to the Nx port. The  
DTE data rate vs. the number of DS0s appear in Appendix II.  
Choices: 56K or 64K  
CHANNELS  
This sets the unit to use alternate or contiguous channels in  
the T1 data stream. If greater than 12 channels are used, then  
contiguous must be used. If not, then alternate channels may  
be used to meet pulse density requirements (only necessary  
for Nx 64 without B8ZS). If other than a private network, the  
carrier must be notified of this choice.  
Choices: ALT or CONT  
DTE TX CLK  
Controls the clock used by the TSU to accept the transmit  
(TX) data from the DTE. Normally this is set to INTERNAL. If  
the interface cable is long causing a phase shift in the data,  
the clock can be selected as INT/INV (Internal/Inverted). This  
switches the phase of the clock which should compensate for  
a long cable. If the DTE provides a clock with TX data, the  
clock selection is set to EXTERNAL. The TSU will depend on  
an externally supplied clock to accept the TX data.  
Choices: INTERNAL, INT-INV, or EXTERNAL  
START CHAN  
Used to select the channel in which the T stream will start.  
The setting must be consistent with the carrier if using a  
public network.  
Choices: 01 through 24

No loopback - Deactivates the loopback.  
3. Use the up and down scroll keys to select and press  
ENTER to record selection. The cursor returns to the 1 in  
front of LOCAL LOOPBACK.  
4. Use the up and down scroll keys to select 2)REMOTE  
LOOPBACK or 3)PATTERN.  
2)REMOTE LOOPBK- activates the same loopbacks as the  
LOCAL but at the far end. This uses either the inband loopup  
code as specified byAT&T 62411 for line loopback (ATT In-  
Band LLB), or the FDL as specified in ANSI T1.403 for  
payload and line loopback codes. An FDL (formerly TABS)  
maintenance message corresponding to AT&T TR54016 can  
be used for payload loopback as well.  
No loopback - deactivates the loopback

loopup pattern in channels occupied by DTE data only.  
This choice should be used for public fractional network  
ANSI FDL LLB - initiates the transmission of an FDL  
Line loopup code toward the far end.  
AT&T Inband LLB - activates the line loopback using  
inband code  
ANSI FDL PLB - initiates the transmission of an FDL  
payload loopup code toward the far end  
AT&T PLB - indicates the transmission of the PLB  
maintenance on the FDL  
Only V.54 LOOPBACKS can be used with fractional T1 since the  
full T1 stream including the FDL is not transported to the far end  
(unless it is a private network).  
5. Use the up and down scroll keys to select.  
6. Press ENTER to record selection. The cursor returns to the  
2 in front of REMOTE LOOPBACK.  
7. Use the up and down scroll keys to select 1)LOCAL

transmission of the pattern. The test is terminated by  
selecting NONE. There are four patterns available.  
3.24 All DS0s - generates a 3 in 24 pattern  
511 Active DS0s - generates a 511 test pattern and inserts  
the pattern into currently active channels  
1:8 ALL DS0s - generates a 1 in 8 pattern in all DS0s  
All Ones - generates an all ones pattern in every channel  
None - terminates pattern generation  
8. Use the up and down scroll keys to select; for example,  
511 ACTIVE DS0s.  
9. Press ENTER to record selection. The TSU starts to  
generate a 511 test pattern and inserts the pattern into all  
DS0s.

4)CLR 511 ERRORS - Accomplishes two functions. First, it  
clears out the 511 error total when ENTER is pressed. Second,  
it displays a total of the 511 errors. If 511 errors are being  
received, the display is updated accordingly.  
C L R 5 1 1 E R R O R S  
5 1 1 E R R O R S = 5 6  
This menu function is very useful for testing end-to-end  
integrity of the network. First loopup the far end TSU. Then  
send a 511 pattern from the local TSU. The CLR 511 ERRORS  
screen can then be used to determine if the link is functioning  
properly by verifying that no errors are being counted.  
2)Run Selftest, Submenu of 4)Test  
This menu selection is used to execute an internal self test.  
This is the same self test that is performed automatically at  
power up. The results of the self tests are displayed in the  
LCD. Upon invoking the command the LCD displays  
INITIALIZING and test failures are displayed in the LCD  
window. The self test procedure consists of the following  
tests.  
Ram tests; EPROM checksum  
On board data path. Sending a known test pattern  
through an on-board loop  
Front Panel LED verification  
Phase Lock Loop verify  
If a failure is detected, note the failure number prior to  
contacting ADTRAN technical support.  
Executing a self test will disrupt normal data flow and prevent re-  
mote communication until the self test is completed (5 seconds).

Testing Example  
Prior to actually using the TSU to pass data, it is  
recommended to run tests on the circuit.  
The testing consists of sending a test pattern from end to end  
and checking for errors in the pattern. There are two types of  
tests used to accomplish this.  
Send the pattern from one end and loopback the far end.  
Send the pattern from both ends and check at both ends.  
Far End Looped Back Test  
Two types of tests can be executed with the far end looped.  
The first is a check of the network and the network interfaces  
at both ends (511). The second is a check of the DTE port.  
Network Interface Test  
The Network Interface Test can be run with any channel  
setup because the 511 pattern is always sent in the occupied  
channels.  
1. At the main menu, use the scroll keys to place the cursor  
on 4)TEST.
