The 2.0 Mb DTI card provides the physical interface for the digital E-1 carrier
on the system. The card includes an on-board clock controller and is installed
in slots 1 through 9 in the Option 11C main cabinet. On IP Expansion
cabinets, it is placed in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second,
third, and fourth expansion cabinets, respectively.
For Succession CSE 1000, it is placed in slots 11-14, 21-24, 31-34, 41-44 of
the first, second, third and fourth Media Gateways, respectively.
The NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card is also used for ISL shared mode applications.
For information on the NTAK10 faceplate LEDs, refer to DTI Maintenance
on page 87 in this guide.
Install DTI hardware

The NTAK10 circuit card is installed in card slot 1-9 in the Option 11C main
cabinet. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39,
41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth expansion cabinets, respectively.
For Succession CSE 1000, it is placed in slots 11-14, 21-24, 31-34, 41-44 of
the first, second, third and fourth Media Gateways, respectively.
The NTAK10 is installed only in the Succession Media Gateway. It is not
supported in the Media Gateway Expansion. Up to four digital trunk cards are
supported in each Media Gateway. The NTAK10 card is installed in Slots 1,
2, 3 and 4 of the Media Gateway.

Inspect the NTAK10 circuit card

Inspect the circuit card before installing it in the Option 11C main cabinet or
Media Gateway:
Locate the NTAK10 2.0 Mb circuit card and carefully remove it from its
packaging.
Inspect the circuit card for any visible damage that occurred during
shipping.
Set the switches

The NTAK10 incorporates four surface mounted dip switches. The following
tables provide information on the various settings and related functions of
these switches.
Note: The ON position for all the switches is toward the bottom of the
card. This is indicated by a white dot printed on the board adjacent to the
bottom left corner of each individual switch.
Set the switches on the circuit card according to the requirements of your
installation.

Switch S4 Carrier shield grounding

This switch supports selective shield grounding of the Tx and/or Rx pairs of
the carrier cable. Closing the switch (down position) applies Frame Ground
(FGND) to the coaxial carrier cable shield, creating a 75 unbalanced
configuration. The Tx and Rx pairs are referenced with respect to the 2.0 Mb
DTI card that is, Rx is carrier received from the far-end device.

Hardware description
2.0 Mb PRI cards
Two PRI cards are available on the system:
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card
NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card
The difference between the two PRI cards is that the NTBK50, when
equipped with the NTBK51 D-channel daughterboard, can download
software onto the card. This feature is based on the MSDL platform and
essentially replaces the D-channel circuit on the NTAK79 PRI card. (The
NTAK79 PRI card does not support the NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel
handler daughterboard.)
2.0Mb DTI/PRI
Page 48 of 152
A second difference between the NTAK79 and NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI cards is
that the NTAK79 has an on-board clock controller while the NTBK50
supports the NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard.
Note: If the NTAK93 D-channel daughterboard is attached to the
NTBK50 PRI card instead of the NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel
daughterboard, the NTBK50 PRI card functions in the same manner as
the NTAK79 PRI card.
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card
The 2.0 Mb Primary Rate Interface card provides the physical interface for
the digital E-1 carrier on the system. The card includes an on-board clock
controller and on-board D-channel handler. It is installed in slots 1-9 in the
main cabinet. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed in slots 11-19, 21-29,
31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth expansion cabinets,
respectively.
For Succession CSE 1000, it is installed in slots 11-14, 21-24, 31-34, 41-44
of the first, second, third and fourth Media Gateways, respectively.
For information on the NTAK79 faceplate LEDs, refer to PRI Maintenance
on page 109.
NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card
The 2.0 Mb Primary Rate Interface card provides the physical interface for
the digital E-1 carrier on the system. The card is installed in slots 1-9 in the
main cabinet or Media Gateway. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed in
slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth
expansion cabinets, respectively.

Page 49 of 152
Note: For Succession CSE 1000, the NTAK79 card and NTBK50 cards
are installed only in the Media Gateway. They are not supported in the
Media Gateway Expansion.
IMPORTANT!
Each Media Gateway that has a digital trunk must have a
clock controller set to an external reference clock.
Note: Clocking slips can occur between Media Gateways that are
clocked from different COs, if the COs are not synchronized. The slips
can degrade voice quality.
The NTBK50 supports the following clock controller and D-channel handler
daughterboards:
NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard
NTAK93 D-channel handler daughterboard, or NTBK51 Downloadable

D-channel daughterboard.
If the NTAK93 D-channel daughterboard is attached, the NTBK50 PRI card

functions in the same manner as the NTAK79 PRI card. If the NTBK51
D-channel daughterboard is attached, software is downloaded to the card
instead of residing in a D-channel circuit.
For information on the NTBK50 faceplate LEDs, refer to PRI Maintenance
on page 109.
NTAK20 Clock Controller (CC) daughterboard

The NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard is used with the NTBK50
2.0 Mb PRI card. The NTAK79 PRI card has an on-board clock controller.
2.0Mb DTI/PRI
Page 50 of 152
Digital Trunking requires synchronized clocking so that a shift in one clock

source results in an equivalent shift of the same size and direction in all parts
of the network. On systems, synchronization is accomplished with the
NTAK20 clock controller circuit card.
IMPORTANT!
Every Option 11C cabinet or Media Gateway that contains a digital trunk
must contain a clock controller. If an Option 11C system is equipped
with digital trunks, Nortel Networks recommends that at least one digital
trunk is placed in the Option 11C main cabinet.
The Clock Controller circuitry synchronizes the system to an external

reference clock, and generates and distributes the clock to the system. The
system can function either as a slave to an external clock or as a clocking
master. The NTAK20AB version of the clock controller meets AT&T
Stratum 3 and Bell Canada Node Category D specifications. The
NTAK20BB version meets CCITT stratum 4 specifications.
Shelf slot assignment
On non-CISPR B system cabinets, the NTAK20 is placed in slots 1-9. On
cabinets NTAK11Dx and NTAK11Fx, the active NTAK20 is placed in slots
1-3 (slots 4-10 cannot be used.) On IP Expansion cabinets, the NTAK20 is
placed in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and
fourth expansion cabinets, respectively.

NTAK93 D-Channel Handler Interface (DCHI) daughterboard

The NTAK93 DCHI daughterboard interfaces with the system Central
Processing Unit (CPU) and mounts on the NTBK50 PRI card for PRI (but not
ISL) applications. The equivalent circuit resides on-board the NTAK79 2.0
Mb PRI card. The DTI/PRI digital trunk card is installed in the Succession
CSE 1000 Media Gateway. Digital trunk cards are not supported in Media
Gateway Expansions.
The DCHI is responsible for performing the Q.921 layer 2 protocol
information. It transfers layer 3 signaling information between two adjacent
network switches.
The NTAK93 DCH daughterboard, when installed on the NTBK50 circuit
card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTBK50.
A minimum of one NTAK93 is required for each PRI link. If more than one
PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DCHI circuit card can
support up to a maximum of sixteen PRI connections for the system. This
allows for the support of 495 B-Channels or PRI trunks.
NTBK51 Downloadable D-Channel (DDCH) daughterboard

The NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard interfaces with the system Central
Processing Unit (CPU) and mounts on the NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card
for PRI D-Channel applications.
Digital trunk cards are not supported in Media Gateway Expansions.
The DDCH is equivalent to the MSDL card on larger systems, but it only
supports D-channel applications (no SDI or ESDI).
The NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard, when installed on the NTBK50 circuit
card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTBK50.
2.0Mb DTI/PRI
Page 52 of 152
A minimum of one NTBK51 is required for each PRI link. If more than one
PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DDCH circuit card can
support up to a maximum of 16 PRI connections for the system. This enables
support for 495 B-channels or PRI trunks.
Install the NTAK79 PRI card

The steps required to install PRI are as follows:
1
Inspect the PRI card.
Set the switches on the PRI card.
Insert the PRI card in slots 1-9 of the Option 11C main cabinet, or in slots
11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth
Expansion cabinets, respectively.
For Succession CSE 1000, it is installed in slots 11-14, 21-24, 31-34,

41-44 of the first, second, third and fourth Media Gateways, respectively.
Connect the cables.
Each step is described in the pages that follow. The PRI hardware installation
procedure is the same regardless of the type of system at the far-end that is,
another system such as the AXE-10, or SYS-12.
Inspect the NTAK79 circuit card
Locate the NTAK79 2.0 Mb circuit card and carefully remove it from its

DTI Maintenance
System DTI operation is monitored and reported on through maintenance

messages, out-of-service alarms, and circuit card faceplate LEDs.
System maintenance provides several tools, either manual or automatic, for
maintaining effective DTI operation. These tools are service change and
maintenance commands that are accessible through the software overlays and
resident diagnostic routines.

2.0 Mb DTI alarms

There are two groups of alarm indicators monitored by the 2.0 Mb DTI.
Within these two alarm groups, there are several individual alarm types.
Group 1 alarms are event driven and include indicators that decrement a
counter whenever an error is detected. Grade-of-service is changed based on
how quickly the threshold of the counter is exceeded. The threshold count is
determined in LD 73 and downloaded to the 2.0 Mb DTI. Group 1 alarms are:
1
Bipolar Violations (BPV) Near-end alarm
Slips (SLP) Near-end alarm
Frame Alignment Problems (FAP) Near-end alarm
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC-4) Near-end alarm
Group II alarm indicators are either continuous or discontinuous.

Grade-of-service is changed based on the duration of the alarm within a
defined period of time. A minimum persistence time is defined in LD 73 and
downloaded to the 2.0 Mb DTI.
2.0Mb DTI/PRI

Bipolar Violation (BPV). In a bipolar pulse stream, pulses alternate in
polarity. A bipolar violation has occurred if, after transmission, two pulses of
the same polarity are received in succession (this could be caused by an
electrical disturbance such as noise).

553-8300.EPS
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC-4). When the 2.0 Mb DTI card runs in
CRC-4 mode, the CRC-4 word contains a checksum of all data in the
multiframe. The receiving side uses the checksum to verify the data.

Standard 14.00

DTI Maintenance
Page 93 of 152
The primary difference between BPV and CRC is that bipolar violation
tracking indicates errors in the local span, while CRC indicates errors on an
end-to-end span. For example, on a satellite link, BPV only detects errors in
the span between the system and the satellite connection. Since CRC
traverses the entire span, it indicates an end-to-end bit error rate.
Slip (SLP). Digital signals must have accurate clock synchronization for data
to interleaf into, or extract from, the appropriate timeslot during multiplexing
and demultiplexing operations. A Frame slip is defined as the repetition or
deletion of 193 bits (one frame) due to a discrepancy in the read and write
rates at the buffer (clocks aren't operating at EXACTLY the same speed).
When data bits write to (add to) a buffer at a slightly higher rate than they read
(empty), sooner or later the buffer overflows. This is called slip-frame
deletion.
In the opposite situation, when data bits write (add) to a buffer at a slightly
lower rate than they read (empty), eventually the buffer runs dry or
underflows. This is called slip-frame repetition.
All degradations shown in Table 23 can be controlled or avoided by proper
clock (network) synchronization.

DTI Maintenance
Clock synchronization can be tracking, on the primary or secondary reference

clock, or non-tracking (free-run). In LD 73 (prompts PREF and SREF), the
2.0 Mb DTI which supports the active clock controller is defined as the
primary clock reference. Another 2.0 Mb DTI can be defined as the secondary
clock reference. The clock controller synchronizes from the primary or
secondary's incoming pulse stream. The clock controller in turn supplies
clocking to all other 2.0 Mb DTI cards.
2.0 Mb DTI hardware detects frame slips in tracking and free-run modes. For
tracking mode, running the midnight routines prints the number of overflows
and clears the counter. For free-run mode, running the midnight routines
prints the number of slips and clears the counters.
Frame Alignment Problem (FAP). A Frame Alignment Problem is counted
when a bit error occurs within the framing pattern.
Group 2
Loss of Frame Alignment Signal (LFAS). A loss of Frame Alignment
condition occurs when frame alignment is lost on three consecutive frame
alignment errors. This condition can occur as a result of the far-end of the E1
span going completely out of serviced (due to a power interruption, for
example) or any other reason resulting in the loss of the incoming pulse
stream. The B3 alarm is sent to the far-end after the persistence time expires.
Loss of frame alignment thresholds. 2.0 Mb DTI hardware detects
out-of-frame conditions. Running the midnight routines prints the number of
occurrences when frame alignment was lost and clears the counters.
Alarm Indication Signal (AIS). AIS is defined as receiving all ones without
framing. The detection algorithm for AIS is two or less zeros per two frames.
This allows detection of AIS in the presence of a 10E-3 error rate, while not
detecting all ones with framing as AIS.
When the AIS is detected, the prompt maintenance alarm indication
associated with LFAS and excessive bit error rates are inhibited. B3 alarm is
sent to the far-end after persistence time expires.

Alarm Indication Signal 64 Kilobit (AIS64). There are specific AIS

requirements for CNET (France). The first requirement relates to the
transmission of AIS in TS16. In that case, all ones should be transmitted in
the event that abcd signaling is not supported.
With respect to the reception of AIS in TS16, AIS 64 Kbits must be detected
when multiframe alignment has been lost and the binary content of TS16 is
95 percent 1, counting on 256 or 512 bits.
When AIS in TS16 is detected, then bit 6 of outgoing TS16 frame 0 should
be set. When the fault disappears, it should be cleared. Setting and clearing
bit 6 of TRS 16 frame 0 must follow changes in status of the fault by less than
100 msec.
Other requirements when AIS 64 Kbit is detected include setting an LED,
printing a TTY message, and updating present status and history files. When
a fault is detected, further changes in other error types should continue to be
reported.
Loss of Multiframe Alignment Signal (LMAS). This condition is
sometimes called a multiframe yellow alarm. An LMAS occurs when two
consecutive multiframes contain errors in their Multiframe Alignment Signal,
or when all TS16 bits are zero for at least one multiframe.
B6 alarm is sent to the far-end after the persistence time expires. If the option
is enabled, a B3 alarm is also sent.
Loss of CRC-4 multiframe alignment signal. This condition is declared
when the CRC-4 multiframe search fails to recognize two valid multiframe
alignment words within 8 msec. This category is only relevant however, when
the CRC-4 option is selected.
B6 alarm is sent to the far-end after persistence time expires. If the option is
enabled, a B3 alarm is also sent.
Remote Alarm Indication (RAI). Bit 3 of TS0 in non-FAS frames is set to
1. This alarm is sometimes called a yellow alarm. The far-end is receiving
AIS.
2.0Mb DTI/PRI
Page 96 of 152
DTI Maintenance
Remote yellow alarm (B6). Bit 6 of TS16 in Frame 0 is 1. This alarm

occurs when the far-end has detected a loss of MFA.
Alarm threshold recommendations for digital trunks
If a digital trunk is present in an IP expansion cabinet/Media Gateway, link
outages due to data network degradation between a main cabinet/Call Server
and an expansion cabinet/Media Gateway cause alarms on the far-end of the
digital trunk. If link outages are frequent, you can increase alarm thresholds
on the far-end to prevent the trunk from being placed in a state that requires
manual intervention to recover.

Monitor system PRI operation

Service messages report on near and far-end switch status. Both service and
service acknowledge messages are supported on PRI B-channels and ISL
channels. These messages are used for backup D-channel and D-channel
sanity polling. The status may be in-service and out-of-service.
Service and service acknowledge messages for B-channels and ISL channels
are supported between:

PRI Maintenance
D-channel establishment
When the D-channel establishes, the B-channel status is supported by sending
service messages for each B-channel controlled by a D-channel. This enables
the far-end to synchronize its channel states. The service messages are sent
when the system brings up the D-channel automatically or an administrator
brings up the D-channel manually by using LD 96.
D-channel sanity polling
If a D-channel has been idle for 30 seconds, a service message is sent to poll
the link sanity. The service message is sent whether or not the near-end is
configured as master or slave.
B-channel status change
Whenever there is a status change for a B-channel or an ISL channel, the new
status is reported to the far-end in a service message. Status change can occur
through service change or maintenance operations, such as the addition or
deletion of a channel in LD 14, or the disabling of the associated loop, shelf,
card or unit in LD 30, LD 32, LD 36, LD 41 or LD 60.
Channel status audit
LD 30 is enhanced to allow channel status audit to be initiated. The channels
associated with each D-channel are examined and their status is reported to
the far-end by service messages.
Service message commands
You activate the service messages in LD 96 on a per D-channel basis. The
commands are:
553-3011-315
ENL SERV N: Turns on the support of service and service acknowledge

messages for DCH link N. The command should only be executed when
the specified D-channel is in the disabled state.
DIS SERV N: Turns off the support of service and service acknowledge
messages for DCH link N.
STAT SERV (N): Displays the current service and service acknowledge
message SERV setting for individual DDCH N or for DCHIs.

2.0 Mb PRI error detection

The Primary Rate Interface categorizes errors and alarm conditions into two
main groups, Group I and Group 2 errors.
Group I errors
These are real-time calculated error-rate thresholds. Group I errors can
include:
Bipolar Violations (BPV)
Frame Bit Errors (FBER)
CRC-4 Word Errors (CRC)
Controlled Frame Slips
Bipolar Violations (BPV)

In an Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) bipolar pulse stream, pulses alternate
in polarity. A bipolar violation has occurred when two pulses of the same
polarity are received in succession, as shown in Figure 11 on page 116. This
might be caused by an electrical disturbance such as noise, a low signal level
or a faulty repeater. Bipolar violations indicate the integrity of the local span
from the system to the first repeater.
The PRI card, following the CEPT PCM-30, uses a zero code suppression
technique known as HDB3, which introduces intentional bipolar violations
onto the carrier. The bipolar violations are recognized by the receiver and
disregarded as bipolar violation errors.

Frame bit errors

The NTAK79/NTBK50 PRI CEPT PCM-30 stream is structured into a frame
of 32 8-bit timeslots. To maintain alignment of this frame structure, alternate
timeslot zeros have a specific frame alignment pattern (X0011011).
A frame bit error is acknowledged when any bit in the received pattern is in
error. This error rate indicates the integrity of the end-to-end span.
CRC-4 word errors
When operating in the CRC-4 multiframe format (CRC), frames are bundled
into groups of 16. This format includes a specific multiframe alignment
pattern in bit 0 of every even frame's timeslot 0 (001011XX).
Each odd frame timeslot 0 includes a CRC-4 cyclic redundancy checksum of
the previous 8 frames (sub-multiframe). This transmitted checksum is
compared against a calculated checksum at the receiver. If the two checksums
do not match, a CRC-4 word error is indicated.
553-3011-315
Standard 14.00
November 2002
PRI Maintenance
Page 117 of 152
Group I error rates are processed on the PRI card based on software
downloadable parameters N1 and N2 (for each BPV, CRC, and FBER). The
values for N1 are scaled on the card as follows:
BPV = N116
CRC = N1 4
FBER = N1 1
N2 values are not scaled. These parameters can be set in LD 73 on a per card
basis, or they can be left at their default values.
Parameters N1 and N2 provide for the following error rate thresholds reported
to the system:
Severely errored second: When the number of occurrences of the error

exceeds the value of N1 in the previous second. This error is reported and
counted (LCNT), but no action is taken by the system.
Unavailable condition: This is reported when 10 severely errored

seconds are received in 10 consecutive seconds. This is equivalent to an
error rate worse than 10-3 with the default value. When this condition is
reached, the 2.0 Mb PRI is put into an out-of-service condition until the
Group I OOS guard timer expires and the error condition has ceased or
improved.
2.0Mb DTI/PRI
Page 118 of 152
PRI Maintenance
No new call condition: When the number of occurrences of the error

exceeds the value of (10 x N2) in the previous minute. This corresponds
to an error rate of 10 -3 to 10-5 using the default N2 value. When this
condition is reported, the system records the error (LCNT) and places the
PRI card into a no new call condition, with all idle channels set to
MbSY. The card automatically returns to normal state when the
condition improves after the Group I NNC guard timer expires.
Maintenance condition: This condition exists when the number of

occurrences of the error exceeds the value of N2 in the previous minute.
This corresponds to an error rate between 10-5 and 10-6 based on the N2
default values. When this condition is reported, the system records the
error (LCNT) and places the 2.0 Mb PRI card into a maintenance alarm
state. This state has no effect on call processing, it simply indicates line
degradation. The card automatically returns to normal state when the
condition improves after the Group I MAINT guard timer expires.
There is no error report for the error rates below 10 -6 (10xN2) as such
rates are considered satisfactory.

Frame slips
Digital signals must have accurate clock synchronization for data to be
interleaved into, or extracted from, the appropriate timeslot during
multiplexing and demultiplexing operations. A Frame Slip is defined (for 2.0
Mb links) as the repetition or deletion of the 256 data bits of a CEPT frame
due to a sufficiently large discrepancy in the read and write rates at the buffer
(clocks are not operating at exactly the same speed).
When data bits write (add) to a buffer at a slightly higher rate than they read
(empty), sooner or later the buffer overflows. This is called slip-frame
deletion.
In the opposite situation, when data bits write (add) to a buffer at a slightly
lower rate than they read (empty), eventually the buffer runs dry or
underflows. This is also called slip-frame repetition.
A 2.0 Mb PRI contains a buffer large enough to contain two full frames
(256 x 2 = 512 bits), and is normally kept half full (1 frame). See Table 27 on
page 120 for the impact of one slip on various types of data.

Clock synchronization can be either tracking, on the primary or secondary

reference clock, or non-tracking (free-run). In LD 73 (prompts PREF and
SREF), the 2.0 Mb PRI which supports the clock controller is defined as the
primary clock reference. Another 2.0 Mb PRI (or DTI) may be defined as the
secondary clock reference. The clock controller synchronizes from the
incoming bit stream of the primary or secondary references. The clock
controller in turn supplies a synchronized reference for the rest of the system,
including all 2.0 Mb PRIs and DTIs.
The 2.0 Mb PRI card detects and reports frame slips (repetitions and
deletions) to the system. The count of slips is recorded (LCNT), printed out,
and cleared at each midnight routine.

Frame slips have two alarm thresholds as defined in LD 73. They are as
follows:
Slip out-of-service threshold. When this threshold (variable count

versus variable time) is reached, the PRI card is placed in an
out-of-service state. The card automatically returns to a normal state if
the slip rate improves after the Group I OOS guard timer expires.
Slip maintenance threshold. When this threshold is reached, the PRI

card is placed in a maintenance state that has no impact on call
processing. The maintenance state is simply an indication that a degraded
condition exists. The card automatically returns to a normal state if the
slip rate improves after the Group I MAINT guard timer expires.
Define slip thresholds

To define your slip thresholds, use the following commands in LD 73. Times
range from 1M to 24H (one 1 minute to 24 hours). Counts are 1 to 255.

Group 2 errors
Group 2 errors are event-based alarms that can be separated into Red (local)
and Yellow (far-end) alarms.

Yellow (far-end) alarms

A Yellow alarm on the 2.0 Mb PRI card indicates that the card is receiving an
alarm indication from the far-end.
This type of alarm may be received in two ways:
1
Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) Bit 3 of non-FAS frame set.
Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) All 1s on the carrier.
Since the 2.0 Mb PRI is receiving a Yellow alarm signal, that indicates that
there is a carrier connection, but the far-end is not ready. It is possible,
however, that the carrier connection is one-way only (2.0 Mb PRI receiving).
When the 2.0 Mb PRI receives a Yellow alarm signal, all channels are placed
in a maintenance busy mode (MBSY). Group 2 Yellow alarms are recorded
(LCNT) on each occurrence, but the card is not placed into an out-of-service
state.
Red (local) alarms
A Red alarm on the PRI card indicates that the card is having problems
synchronizing with the incoming bit stream.
This type of alarm may be caused by the following:
Loss of Signal (LOS)
Loss of Frame Alignment (LFAS)
Loss of CRC-4 Multiframe Alignment (LMAS)
When the 2.0 Mb PRI is in a Red alarm state, RAI is transmitted to the
far-end.
For both Group 2 Red and Yellow alarm states, action is taken after the
condition has persisted for a downloaded persistence (PERS) threshold. The
parameter is set in LD 73 in multiples of 2 msec, with 2 x 50 = 100 msec as
the default.

Page 123 of 152
For Group 2 Red alarm conditions, there are four definable time thresholds
that can be set in LD 73 on a per-loop basis. The first parameter sets an
aggregate time in multiples of 128 msec (default 20 = 2.5 sec). The next four
parameters provide time thresholds for MAINT, NNDC, NNC, and OOS.
For example, if the total cumulative time that an error has been present
reaches the aggregate time (2.5 sec default) in less than the time set in OOS,
the card is put into an out-of-service state. If it took more than the preset time
for the error condition to register, the card could be put into NNDC, NNC, or
MAINT states. The card remains in the alarm condition until the error has
improved and after the Group 2 guard timers expire.
Define group 2 error thresholds
You can define Group 2 error thresholds in LD 73. Only the highest priority
Group 2 alarm condition is active at a time. The order of priority (from
highest to lowest) is: LOS, AIS, LFAS, LMAS, RAI.

Alarm threshold recommendations for digital trunks

If a digital trunk is present in an IP expansion cabinet/Media Gateway, link
outages due to data network degradation between a main cabinet/Call Server
and an expansion cabinet/Media Gateway cause alarms on the far-end of the
digital trunk. If link outages are frequent, you can increase alarm thresholds
on the far-end to prevent the trunk from being placed in a state that requires
manual intervention to recover.

NTAK79/NTBK50 power on self test

When power is applied to the NTAK79/NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card, the
card performs a power-on self-test. The self-tests verify the operation of most
of the on-board hardware.
If all the self-tests pass, the upper 5 LEDs blink simultaneously three times.
If any of the self-tests fail, the LEDs do not blink. Only the OOS LED
illuminates. The corresponding error code is then printed on the TTY.

Self-test error codes

Table 34 lists the self-test failure codes for the NTAK79/NTBK50 2.0 Mb
PRI. These codes can be returned on card power-up in the form DTA105 L
X (where X is the failure code), or during a self-test procedure in LD 60 as
DTI009 L X (where X is the error code).
Failure codes 1-14 are hardware failures on the NTAK79/NTBK50 card.
Codes 15-16 may be due to carrier span problems or lack of loopback
activation at the far-end.

Self-testing the 2.0 Mb PRI
This self-test can be run manually on a per-loop or per-channel basis using
LD 60. The DCHI/DDCH and 2.0 Mb PRI must be disabled before performing
the self-test.
To self-test the entire loop:
1
Enter the following command in LD 96 to disable the DCHI/DDCH:

DIS DCH N
Enter the following command in LD 60 to disable the 2.0 Mb PRI card and
run the self-test:
DISL L
SLFT L (entire loop)
To self-test a specific channel:

1
Enter the following command in LD 60 to disable the idle channel:

DSCH L CH
Enter the following command in LD 60 to run the self-test on the channel:

SLFT L CH
End of Procedure
2.0 Mb PRI automatic loop test

This procedure is not recommended since it causes yellow at the far-end and
can cause some B-channels to not re-enable once the test is completed.
Therefore, set the ATLP command to 0.
The automatic loop test checks the same functions as the self-test. Unlike the
self-test, it can be run automatically as part of the midnight routines.
2.0Mb DTI/PRI
Page 134 of 152
PRI Maintenance
2.0 Mb PRI automatic loop test

With ATLP command set to one and if all 30 channels are idle at midnight,
the system software disables the card and performs a self-test on all channels.
This causes a yellow alarm to be generated to the far-end. If any one of the 30
channels are busy at midnight, the software randomly disables one idle
channel, and checks it while the card is enabled.
With the ATLP command set to zero, only one channel is tested. The channel
tested is randomly selected by software; it cannot be specified.
Enter the following command in LD 60 to perform the automatic loop test as
part of midnight routines:
ATLP 1 or 0
Link diagnostic and remote loop back tests

The remote loop-back and the link diagnostic test are performed manually on
a per channel or per loop (or card) basis.
Link diagnostic test
The link diagnostic test, also called the far-end loop-back test, does not test
the system 2.0 Mb PRI. It puts the 2.0 Mb PRI in loop-back mode so a remote
loop-back test can be performed on equipment at the far-end. Refer to
Figure 12 on page 135.
The 2.0 Mb PRI channel or loop (card) tested must be disabled.

Overview
This chapter provides the information required to implement ISL on the
system including:
hardware and software installation
implementation of components needed to provide basic call service
2.0Mb DTI/PRI
Page 138 of 152
ISDN features are treated separately in the chapter devoted to ISDN feature
implementation.
This chapter assumes that ESN implementation is already in place. It also
assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of NARS and CDP.
Two modes of ISL are available: shared and dedicated. This chapter covers
ISL installation in dedicated mode using dedicated and leased lines. Shared
mode installations are done according to the instructions supplied for PRI,
with the noted exceptions.
ISL hardware requirements

ISL, regardless of the operation mode, uses analogue or digital TIE lines as
B-channels.
ISL in shared mode

In shared mode, PRI hardware is required in addition to the existing TIE lines
interface cards.

Setting up the D-channel
If this is a dedicated mode installation using leased line modems, the
D-channel connects the DCHI with the far-end modem over a dedicated
leased line. Synchronous modems with a minimum 2400 baud data rate must
be configured. Modems must support leased line capability and synchronous
mode. The Hayes Smartmodem 2400 cannot be used on leased lines.
If this a dedicated mode using dial-up modems, modems such as Hayes 2400,
Ventel 2400 or Gandalf 2400 can be used. In this configuration, the DCHI
connects to a modem which is connected to a 500 set line card. The call
connects to the far-end through the 500 set-to-TIE trunk path.
Program the modem at one end in the auto-dial mode, so it automatically
initiates a call to the other end at power up. The auto-dial number must be
coordinated with the far-end switch. The originating modem has this auto-dial
number stored internally as part of the modem configuration routine.
The far-end modem need only be set-up for auto-answer.
End of Procedure
ISL software implementation

There are two modes of ISDN Signaling Link (ISL) operation, shared mode
and dedicated mode.

Shared mode
The NTAK79 on-board DCHI supports ISDN PRI signaling and ISL trunks.
The configuration is basically the same as the PRI D-channel, with the
D-channel also supporting ISL trunks.
The DTI/PRI software implementation sequence can be used (refer to the
appropriate chapters for more information) with the following exceptions.

Dedicated mode
The DCHI uses the NTAK02 circuit card and does not support ISDN PRI
signaling. The DCHI is reserved for ISL use only. The D-channel can
communicate with the far-end by means of a dedicated leased line modem or
dial-up modem.
Note that the following implementation relates to analogue TIE trunks being
used as B-channels. In the case where DTI/PRI trunks are also used, then
LD 17 digital loop (2.0 Mb PRI) and LD73 (2.0 Mb PRI/SYTI) must also be
configured with the appropriate clocking and threshold settings.
For ISL dedicated mode using a dial-up modem, a 500 set, TIE trunk route
and member must be programmed (used for D-channel). Table 37
summarizes the required steps.

Maintenance testing
ISL back-to-back testing (without modems)
For maintenance reasons or testing purposes, it is sometimes necessary to
connect ISL back-to-back (without modems). This connection is normally
done within the same system in a lab environment.
Hardware requirements:
A 25-pin female-to-female gender changer is required to connect the
NTAK19BA cable back-to-back. The gender changer is not supplied with the
system. Figure 17 on page 152 illustrates the connection.
Note: Protocol converters AO378652 and AO381016 supplied with the
system are not gender changers.
