3 Preconditions for Operation

This Operating Manual OMN describes the operation of the network element types SL16
and SL16E in the operating mode “Operating”, with a TransXpress Local Craft Terminal
T-LCT – LCT for short – or a TransXpress Network Craft Terminal T-NCT – NCT for
short – connected. In cases where descriptions apply both to the LCT and also to the
NCT, the generic term “operating terminal” is employed.
This Operating Manual OMN also describes the user interface menus and windows
needed for installation of the SL16/SL16E (together with the Installation and Test Man-
ual ITMN) and for maintenance tasks (together with the Maintenance Manual MMN).
The OMN does not however contain any actual instructions for carrying out installation
or maintenance tasks.
3.1 Hardware Requirements
3.1.1 Network Elements SL16/SL16E

Requirements:
– Commissioning of the network element types SL16/SL16E has been successfully
completed using the Installation and Test Manual ITMN.
– Subrack SL16/SL16E has been installed e.g. in a rack and equipped with all the nec-
essary slide-in units (modules/cards).
– The necessary interface cables have been connected for:
Power supply
Signal transmission (fiber-optic system)
Operating terminal (in conjunction with Medium Attachment Unit MAU)
LZE and/or ZBBeo, if required
If the requirements are not all satisfied, please refer to the relevant instructions in the
Installation and Test Manual ITMN.
An operating terminal is required for commissioning, for configuration changes and for
i maintenance of the network elements. The operating terminal is not essential for ongo-
ing signal transmission via the SL16/SL16E and can be removed (provided it is not
needed for alarm monitoring).
3.1.2 Operating Terminal LCT or NCT

Requirements:
– The operating terminal is connected to the network elements via a V.24 or
LAN/Ethernet interface.
– The operating terminal is connected to the power supply (which is independent of
the SL16/SL16E).
Refer here to the Installation and Test Manual ITMN for further information.
Basically, either a notebook or a desktop PC can be used as the LCT or NCT. For con-
i venience, the configuration specified in Chapter 4 is generally selected. The operating
terminal must have a LAN/Ethernet card fitted if it is to be operated as a NCT.

OMN:SL Operation
SLD/T16-2.5
3.2 Software Requirements
3.2.1 Network Elements SL16/SL16E

The software for the Peripheral Control Units (PCUs) and for the Synchronous Multiplex-
er Control Unit SCU is stored in these slide-in units. The program loads and starts up
automatically when the network element is switched on.
The software version currently installed can be updated by software download.
☞ For information regarding installation of the new software, please contact the
Service department of the vendor in question.
3.2.2 Operating Terminal LCT or NCT

The software (firmware) for the operating terminal comprises:
– MS Windows NT operating system (service pack 5)
– driver software for Q-B3/Ethernet interface
– installation software for the network card
(for operation with Ethernet interface to Q-B3 access)
– gateway software NE-UniGATE
– application software SL16/SL16E
If the necessary software components are not all installed on the operating terminal,
please refer to the relevant instructions in the Installation and Test Manual ITMN and in
the user manual for your operating terminal.
When setting the screen resolution, please remember that small font sizes are used.
i
Online mode
To allow the operating terminal to run in online mode with the network element, the NE-
UniGATE gateway software package and the SL16/SL16E application software must
first have been successfully installed.
In contrast to Release 1, no offline operation
– without the NE-UniGATE gateway software installed and
– without a network element SL16/SL16E
is possible.
3.3 Prior Knowledge Required by Operating Personnel

For working with the equipment:
– basic knowledge of electrical and mechanical safety regulations
– basic knowledge of laser safety precautions
For working with the graphical user interface:
– general PC knowledge (how to switch on, log on etc.)
– basic knowledge of MS Windows NT
For understanding the operating procedures:
– knowledge of the features (as described, for example, in the Technical Description
TED).

4 Application Area, Functions and Handling of

the Operating Terminal
4.1 Operating Terminals LCT and NCT

The operation and monitoring of network elements can be handled both by way of an
operating terminal (LCT or NCT, Fig. 4.1) and also by way of a telecommunications net-
work management.
The operating terminal LCT is used preferentially for mobile operation, while the operat-
ing terminal NCT is used for stationary operation. The same hardware can generally be
used for both terminals, but on account of the differing modes of operation we do rec-
ommend a notebook for the LCT and a desktop PC for the NCT. Corresponding to the
hardware types, two types of software are available – an LCT software package and an
NCT software package – where the latter also includes the former. Operating terminals
which have the NCT software installed can therefore be operated in LCT mode or in
NCT mode.
You will be asked to choose either LCT mode or NCT mode when the corresponding
variant of the gateway software NE-UniGATE is installed or when this starts up.
In the case of connection via the interface Q-F, LCT mode enables you to access the
local network element. When connection is effected via the Q-B3 interface, up to two
network elements of a prespecified address area can be called simultaneously (without
the opportunity of a graphical network view).
NCT mode (connection via the interface Q-B3) allows you to monitor all alarms reported
by the reachable network elements. A background bitmap (preferably an actual map)
can be assigned to each communication channel. This allows you to locate the network
elements according to their geographic position.

4.3 Working with the User Interface

The procedure for working with the user interface corresponds to that applicable to Win-
dows NT. This section contains information relating to basic topics.
4.3.1 Operating Terminals

The following general information applies equally to the mobile operating terminal LCT
and to the stationary operating terminal NCT.
In the case of standard requests on the user interface of the application software, the
i texts appear in accordance with the installed Windows language version.
4.3.1.1 Mouse and Keyboard

The SL16/SL16E is operated mainly from the screen of the operating terminal, using a
mouse, trackball or touchpad. Apart from when it is used as an alternative to the mouse
(see below), the alphanumeric keyboard is only needed for entering customer-specific
text in certain windows.
The keyboard set-up is the international one.
Both the left and the right mouse buttons are used when working with the user inter-
face. If you have a three-button mouse, the buttons must be set accordingly; the third
(middle) button is not used. The left mouse button is used in the same way as in MS
Windows NT:
A30808-X3580-H503-1-7619 35
OMN:SL Operation
SLD/T16-2.5
The left mouse button – select a pull-down menu from the top bar of a window
is used for example to
– select a menu item
– select a function using the features available in a window
(buttons, selection menus etc.)
– confirm an action (e.g. <Apply>)
– work with a window (see Chapter 4.3.1.3) etc.
The right mouse button – access a pop-up menu from the graphic representation
is used for example to of a symbol (functional unit, module (slide-in unit) etc.)
– select a menu item
Unless the text states otherwise, you always use the left mouse button for clicking and
i double clicking.
As an alternative to using the mouse, you can select menus from a menu bar using the
i <ALT> -”underlined letter” combination of keystrokes (see Tab. 4.3). You can select
individual menu items from a menu simply by pressing the key corresponding to the un-
derlined letter. Close opened windows with key combination <Ctrl> <F4> .
The rest of this Operating Manual OMN refers exclusively to use of the mouse.
4.3.1.2 Menus
For menus, the principles are the same as in MS Windows NT; this applies both to work-
ing with menus and to the way information is presented within the menus.
⇒ You can leave any submenu again by pressing the <ESC> key.
4.3.1.3 Windows
The basic functions “Move”, “Resize”, “Minimize”, “Maximize” etc. are the same as in
MS-Windows NT.
⇒ In dialog windows, you can move from one input field to the next, either by
clicking on the field you want to move to with the left mouse button or by press-
ing the <Tab> key. If you press <Return>, this has the same effect as clicking
on the button with the thick outline round it (which you select using <Tab>).

tures of the network element types which are more or less available.
Before configuring a NE by an operating terminal watch the correct and complete place-
i ment of the modules.
6.1 Program Start

Depending on the selection of the interface Q-F or Q-B3 or offline, the application soft-
ware is started in a different way:
• Start when connecting via Q-F
After starting UniGATE or selecting the Q-F interface via the menu command <Con-
figuration> <Communication channel> or <Network> <Connect to network> after
previous “Offline Mode”, the application software of the network element connected
with the Q-F interface is started immediately.
• Start when connecting via Q-B3
After starting UniGATE these appear as icon (see Fig. 6.1) on the user interface if
the Q-B3 interface has been selected as communication channel and one or more
network element/s has/have been set to “Active” via <Configuration> <Assign> <Q-
B3 Addresses>.
Fig. 6.1 Program Icon (Example)
Start the application software by double clicking with the left-hand mouse button on the
program icon (see Fig. 6.1) of the desired network element. The application can be
started also with the option <start> of the context menu that appears when the program
icon is clicked with the right-mouse button.
After starting the application software, the copyright window shown in (see Fig. 6.2) ap-
pears and the NCT NE Password is prompted.

6.2.4 Menu Item <File> <Script Configuration>

The “Script Configuration” function allows you to automate when configuring the network
elements. The particular advantage becomes apparent if certain configuration process-
es have to be repeated several times. Therefore this function is particularly useful when
commissioning or extending a network. By means of this routine, network elements with
the same features can be configured quickly and easily.

The actual equipping is shown in “Module View” by selecting the “NE / Subrack” and
with right mouse button <Information> <Actual Equipping>.
For SLD16, modules SCU (slot 416), CLL (slot 414) and SNL (slot 407) must always be
plugged in because these are required for configuration and operation.
Similarly with the SLD16E, modules SCU (slot 511), CLL (slot 416) and SNL (slot 505)
must always be plugged in.
When opening the subrack for all the hardware settings on the modules and for plug-
! ging-in or pulling-out modules from the subrack, the notes in the maintenance manual
MMN and in the installation and test manual ITMN have to be taken into account.
Menu of the slot numbers

The slot numbers are at the top of the module symbols (see Fig. 6.7).
For each slot, a pop-up menu with the appropriate module types can be called up by
clicking with the right-hand mouse button on the slot number.
This so-called “can” equipping list for the relevant slot is interrogated when calling up the
menu from the network element for the first time. For all further calling-up, it is taken from
the application memory of the craft terminal.
Configuring required equipping

A module slot can either be “empty” or equipped with a module (e.g. “EIPS1”) contained
in the selection list of the pop-up menu.
If you select a module from the pop-up menu, it is taken up immediately in the actual
equipping of the network element.
Possible Slots of CS4 Modules (for SLD16E)

In this NE there are blocked slots when configuring an OIS16/OIS16-2 module in slots
502 and 509. These blocked slots 401 to 404 and 411 to 414 are filled automatically by
the LCT with CS4 placeholder modules (grey color).

Currently selected timing sources for the clock pulses T0 and T4 are displayed by
means of an arrow. The arrow displays the mode.
The modes involved are as follows:
• Auto:
The CLL selects from the configured timing sources, to which a priority was allocat-
ed, the best clock pulse according to quality. For the same quality, the lower value of
the set priority is decisive (1 = very good / 6 = very bad / do not use).
• Forced:
The operator determines which timing source is used. If the selected timing source
fails, a second arrow displays “Selected” in the “Holdover” field. The “Forced” arrow
remains on the timing source selected by the operator. If the timing source can again
be used, the second arrow again disappears after expiry of the “Wait to Restore
Time“. Here arranged priorities have no meaning.
The jump from higher timing quality to lower timing quality is accepted immediately.
The jump back from lower timing quality to higher timing quality is only accepted after
expiry of the time set in the “Wait to Restore Time” field. This applies to the modes
“Forced” and “Auto”.
All set configurations should be selected carefully according to the situation in the net-
i work.

able Performance Monitoring” field is disabled, the field is shaded dark green.
In the “TCN 15min”, “TCN 24h” and “TCN UAT” fields, “Monitoring enabled” also con-
nects monitoring of the upper BBE, ES, SES and UAS fields individually.
If TCN is disabled and if the threshold for this TCN is exceeded (alarm present), the TCN
alarm is cleared.
The TCN thresholds for 15 min monitoring are set in field “TCN 15 min” “upper Thresh-
old” or “lower Threshold” which dictate when the alarm will be triggered or cleared. It is
triggered immediately when the “upper Threshold” is crossed and cleared when the en-

Only the received VC-4 signal of the SDH interface is monitored. This setting does
not change the VC-4 signal.
Possible settings
– Normal Monitoring:
Monitoring the AU-4/VC-4 signals (default; coming from STM-1)
– Supervisory UNEQ:
Enabling of HSUM. HSUM only gives UNEQ alarm, if C2=00 and Path Trace
J1=00
– Disabled:
Monitoring of the AU-4/VC-4 concerned is switched off. Alarms RDI, AU-SSF, UN-
EQ, SD, TIM (Trace Identifier Mismatch) are suppressed and not displayed in the

displayed in the performance window. The VC-4 is supervised at the STM ports.
• RDI/REI Insertion:
Insertion of RDI (Remote Defect Indication) / REI (Remote Error Indication) is only
possible with one EIPS1 module (155 Mbit/s) if HSUM and HSUG are active. The
RDI/REI insertion does not depend on Cross-Connect connections.
• Insert Supervisory UNEQ Signal:
Switches the HSUG function on/off and thereby inserts the UNEQ signal. The UNEQ
signal is then possible here with transmitted Path Trace. Traffic transmission is inter-
rupted.
• Path Protection Hold-Off Time [0...20000 s]:

• “Transport Mode”: SDH or SONET
• “J0C1 Insertion Mode”: This mode decides whether the single configured J0 is in-
serted into the SOH or the automatically generated C1 Bytes, which are calculated
autonoumosly by the NE.
This mode is only valid together with “Transport Mode” = SONET.
• “SSBit Insertion Mode”: This mode decides which SSBits are inserted in the map-
ping path.
The SSBit Insertion Mode can be configured to the following values:
– “10 for SDH and 00 for SONET”; that means that 10 is inserted into the ssBits if
the port is configured to transport mode SDH and 00 is inserted in case of trans-
port mode “SONET”.
– “always 10”; that means that in both cases (transport configured to SDH or SO-
NET), 10 is inserted into the ssBits.
To prevent the loss of management control, the following sequences must be consid-
i ered.
• “FEC Switch Tx”: (default is “disabled”)

• “FEC Switch Rx”: (default is “disabled”)
In case of NE´s managed via DCC, the FEC configuration must be started at the NE,
which is at the “far end” of the DCN link, and proceeded NE by NE to the beginning
of the DCN link. In addition to that, the transmit direction of FEC should be enabled
before the receive direction of FEC. After the configuration of only the receive direc-
tion, the DCN link may be errornous caused by an FEC which is producing bit errors
out of a fault-free signal. For disabling the FEC functionality, the receive direction
should be disabled before the transmit direction.

6.11.8 Module Protection (for SNL and CLL Modules)

The SNL module protection function is automatically in operation within a NE if both SNL
modules are included in the required equipping. No specific working or protection mod-
ules exists from the operator´s viewpoint, therefore both modules can only be configured
with the same provisioning mode “Working” according to the PET.
The CLL module protection function envolves the following two independent protection
functions: protection switching for the internal timing generator (MTG) and protection
switching for the T0 system clocks.
Both MTG and the T0 protection switching functions are automatically in operation with-
in a NE if both CLL modules are included in the rwquired equipping. No specific working
or protection modules exists from the operator´s viewpoint, therefore both modules can
only be configured with the same provisioning mode “Working” according to the PET.

7 Fault and Alarm Management

Alarm condition reporting is described in detail in the Maintenance Manual. Insofar as is
necessary for the purposes of comprehension and for operation using the OMN, the ba-
sic topics are described in this Chapter.
Alarms from network elements are reported spontaneously to the operating terminal
where they can be requested and displayed.
7.1 Alarm Indication in the Network Display Window

(Connection via QB3-Ethernet)
Depending on whether the operating terminal is running in NCT mode or LCT mode, dif-
ferent methods of alarm representation are employed. For descriptions with a window
display, see OMN:NE-UniGATE.
7.1.1 Alarm Indication in NCT Mode

Active network elements appear in the main window of NE-UniGATE either as a collec-
tion of different NE icons, or in a schematic network representation with connecting
lines, or arranged geographically with connecting lines on a map.
All three types of display behave in the same way upon the occurrence of a fault. The
icon outline for the faulty NE flashes in the color of the alarm which has the highest se-
verity. If the alarm severity is “critical”, the outline flashes e.g. red/green (default setting).
The identifier (designation of the network element) of accessible NEs appears in black
font, whereas inaccessible NEs remain gray.
After the alarm has been acknowledged, the color of the previously flashing outline is
retained whilst the fault condition persists. In the default setting, the outline is displayed
in the following colors according to the severity:
Alarm severity Color of icon outline
critical red
major orange
minor yellow
warning blue
indeterminate white
cleared green
Tab. 7.1 Default Color settings for Icon Outline Depending on Alarm Severity
The colors specified in Tab. 7.1 can be modified in the UniGATE program.
7.1.2 Alarm indication in LCT Mode

In LCT mode, the icons for the reachable network elements which have been entered in
the network list appear in the main window of NE-UniGATE. A maximum of two of these
network elements can be called simultaneously with the aid of the NE application soft-
ware. In contrast to NCT mode, there is no representation of alarm conditions on the NE
icons. Should a spontaneous alarm occur in the NE relating to a currently open window,
124 A30808-X3580-H503-1-7619
Operation OMN:SL
SLD/T16-2.5
then the alarms are represented by way of the respective symbols (function/module
symbol). For details, see Chapter 7.2.
7.2 Alarm Indication in a View Mode

Alarms are indicated according to the alarm type (equipment alarm, transmission alarm
or alarm for a general NE function) in the “Module View”.
⇒ To this end, in the window “Option Settings” (Open at Startup in Fig. 6.79)”
which can be called via <Options> <Settings>, you can select whether the Mod-
ule View window is to be opened, or not.
You have the facility to have the reported alarms indicated as individual alarms (Chapter
7.2.1) or in a hierarchical display (Chapter 7.2.2).
The alarm state is displayed by the color of the symbol which represents the function
group.
The following colors and display modes are used:
– wheat for normal operation,
– red for alarms,
– gray if a slide-in unit is configured as “empty”.
These colors cannot be modified.
In addition, the following possibilities exist for visualizing the alarm indication by setting
the symbol either to “flash” or to have “a blue outline” (menu item: <Options> <Settings>
Alarm Flash):
– flashing red for a current, unsuppressed and unacknowledged alarm and if a slide-
in unit is configured with the LCT but is not present in the network element.
– red with blue outline as an alternative display form if flashing red is felt to be an an-
noyance.
7.2.1 Individual Alarm Indication in the “Alarm Window”

Individual alarms and, if applicable, activated alarm inhibitions (see Chapter 7.3) are dis-
played in an alarm window. The alarm window can be opened as follows in the lower-
most display level for the symbol to which the fault relates (see Fig. 7.1):
– Click with right mouse button on symbol e.g. with existing alarm (here: EIPS1)
– Context menu appears. Path <Fault> <Equipment Alarms...>, alarm window
(EIPS1_slot-nr. alarm) is opened. In this window, on the left beside the current
alarm, an LED appears in the characteristic color for the relevant severity level.

In order to localize an alarm, you must find the symbol displayed in red in one of the View
windows, mark it, and open the submenu. It is either possible to open the alarm window
directly from the latter or it is necessary to open additional subviews until the associated
alarm window can be selected.

Basically, the fault in question may be a transmission alarm of the incoming signal or it
may be a fault from the remote end, i.e. a fault (RDI, REI) reported by the called party.
Other possibilities to consider include transmission faults with failure or impaired quality
of the received signal.
Four LED indicators are available. Depending on the severity (urgency), the following
collective alarms can be indicated in the alarm status field (second field from left):
– critical (red LED)

– major (orange LED)
– minor (yellow LED)
– warning (blue LED)
It is possible to restrict the alarm indication to higher severities (see Chapter 7.6).

7.4 Alarm Displays
7.4.1 Collective Indication of Alarms in the Main Window

The main window contains a status line (footer line of the main window) with an alarm
status field (second field from the left) in which up to four LED symbols are arranged next
to each other (Fig. 7.1). These report NE alarms - in the form of a collective indication
according to alarm severity.
The LED symbols displayed and their meaning
red critical alarm active, acknowledged
orange major alarm active, acknowledged
yellow minor alarm active, acknowledged
blue warning alarm active, acknowledged

7.4.4 Quality Alarms (Performance Alarms)

To provide an ongoing assessment of the transmission quality, threshold values for
quality parameters can be defined in accordance with ITU. If these values are exceeded,
the so-called TCN indicator (Threshold Crossing Notifications) “T in square field” is dis-
played colored in the transmission and port symbols of the Traffic.
7.5 Acknowledging Alarms

The indication of a change of alarm state, such as the flashing of a slide-in unit symbol
or function symbol for example, can be acknowledged so that this indication disappears.
This process identifies the alarm as “acknowledged”, thereby enabling the indication to
visualize the occurrence of a further alarm in the unit in question.
Acknowledgment is performed as follows: click the flashing or blue-outlined symbol with
the right mouse button, <Fault> <Acknowledge>.
7.5.1 Acknowledging all Alarms in the NE

⇒ Select the menu item <Fault> <Acknowledge All> from the menu bar of the main
window.
This acknowledges the alarms for all functional units and slide-in units. The symbols in
the main window stop flashing or the blue outline of the symbol and of the LEDs serving
to identify the alarm disappears.
7.5.2 Acknowledging the Alarms for a Particular Functional Unit

You have the option to acknowledge a red flashing or blue-outlined symbol on every hi-
erarchy level.
⇒ Click on the symbol in question with the right mouse button and select the menu
item <Fault> <Acknowledge> from the pop-up menu. All the alarms reported on
this hierarchy level are acknowledged.
In the lowermost hierarchy level - the alarm window - you can acknowledge each indi-
vidual alarm by selecting the alarm report with the right mouse button and selecting the
menu item Acknowledge.

7.7 Alarm Severities

Alarms are indicated both in the alarm lists and alarm windows of the individual function-
al units and also in the main status line of the main window. The restriction of the indi-
cation to higher alarm severities can be applied by way of the menu item <Options>
<Settings> “Alarm Severity Threshold” (see Fig. 6.79). The lowest severity which is still
to be displayed must be marked in the “Options Settings” window in the “Alarm Severity
Threshold” field. Close the window with “OK”.
The following severities exist:
– “critical” (most severe),
– “major”,
– “minor” and
– “warning” (least severe).
The restriction only relates to the alarm turning red in the event of a fault.
All alarms continue to be displayed in the alarm window or the alarm list unless they
have been suppressed in some other ways.
7.8 Setting Alarm Suppressions
7.8.1 Displaying the Alarm Suppression

Each symbol field in which alarms can be reported contains a square field (indicator)
which is identified with the letter A.
If no alarm suppression is set, the indicator A appears wheat-colored. When an alarm
suppression is set, the indicator A in the symbol in which the alarm is reported turns
gray.

8 Engineering Order Wire

A requirement for using the engineering order wire (EOW) is that the corresponding in-
i terface module for connecting and disconnecting the EOW signal in the transmission
link is present in the network element, connection setup is configured using the OH
bytes and that a telephone number for selective or group calling has been assigned for
the network element (see Installation and Test Manual ITMN for more details).
A telephone handset for DTMF dialing with integrated keypad and internal buzzer is
used to provide the EOW facilities. The key functions are show in Tab. 8.1.

A C Keys for manual entry of DTMF signals. Applies to EOW type 2 (see Tab. 8.4)

Call types and allocation of numbers

Tab. 8.2 gives the number codes for the various subscribers/subscriber groups.

Collective calling 000 111 to 999
Group calling X00 X11 to X99
XY0 XY1 to XY9
Selective calling XYZ XYZ
where: X, Y, Z = 1 to 9
Tab. 8.2 Number Scheme
Telephone numbers X00, XY0 and 000 are reserved for group calling and collective call-
i ing and can thus not be used as selective calling numbers. Since digit “0” may not be
included for selective calling numbers (nor may “109”, “208” ...), the available number
of purely selective calling numbers is restricted to 729. In addition telephone number
combination *09 should be avoided as this is assigned to a special function.
If, as well as EOW equipment with 3-digit telephone numbers there is also equipment
i with 2-digit telephone numbers in the network (e.g. SMA ... series 1), you should make
sure when allocating telephone numbers that unique subscriber assignment is assured
(e.g. do not allocate the numbers 141, 142, ... if there is already a 2-digit telephone num-
ber of 14 and vice versa).

Tones and signals

Tab. 8.3 shows a graphical diagram of the audible and visual signaling in the EOW ar-
ea.
Dial tone (three-tone signal at 2-second intervals)

– Sounds after pickup the handset if more than
one conference is configured.
Ringing tone (single tone at 5-second intervals)

– Sounds if conference is free.
PBX call tone (double tone at 5-second intervals)

– Sounds if an external call appears.
Busy tone (single tone at 1-second interval)

– Sounds if conference is busy.
Break-in tone (three double tones)

– Sounds if a subscriber is breaking into
an existing conference.

8.1 Call Setup

Depending on the type of call selected (see Chapter 8.2), all EOW telephones are al-
ways connected to each other via the transmission link, i.e. each subscriber who con-
nects to the same conference can listen in and join in (Party line mode).
136 A30808-X3580-H503-1-7619
Operation OMN:SL
SLD/T16-2.5
You can break into existing EOW connections at any time by lifting the handset and
pressing # (see 8.1.1).
When collective calling is used all subscribers are reached simultaneously by the ringing
signal via the interconnected equipment and can each participate in the call.
When operating with selective calling individual subscribers or also subscriber groups
(group calling) can be dialed using a three-digit telephone number. The subscriber re-
ceiving the call, but others on the party line as well, can break into the conference, take
part in the conversation or simply listen in.
Breaking into the conference is signaled to other conference participants by a break-in
i tone.
For setting up a connection to specific network network elements it is necessary to ac-

tivate their DTMF receivers (signal/key A) and reset them again after the call
(signal/key B). The type of EOW (which depends on the network element), dicates
whether this is either done automatically or by pressing additional keys.
Audible tones indicating the status of the connection (proceed-to-dial, ring tone, busy
i tone), that originate from associated PBX/public networks, must not lie in the frequency
range of the DTMF signaling otherwise the detection of the DTMF signals in an existing
connection will be disturbed or delayed.
Tab. 8.4 gives an overview of the assignment of the different network elements to the
EOW types.

8.1.1 Connection to Conference

After pickup of the handset (see Fig. 8.1) the operator will hear the conference select
tone if more than one conference is configured. the conference is selected by dialing the
conference number (1/2). If only one conferencce is configured the handset is directly
connected to this conference.
If the conference is busy the operator is notified with the busy tone. By dialing “#” it is
possible to connect to a busy conference. The other conference participants are notified
in this case.
In order to call another subscriber in a busy conference “#” has to be dialed before the
subscriber number. The special function “*09” should be dialed before “#” if a PBX is
connected to the conference in order to avoid disconnection of the PBX.

An incoming call from the PBX is always directed to the local handset.
If the handset is not in use the conference LED is flashing and the internal and external
ringers are activated. The handset and the PBX are automatically connected to the con-
ference when the handset is picked up.
If the handset is in use on another conference the conference LED is flashing, the ex-
ternal ringer is activated and a notification tone is injected to the handset. The handset
user can switch over to the calling PBX conference by hang-up and pickup the handset
again. The handset and the PBX are automatically connected to the conference when
the handset is picked up. If the handset is in use on the same conference the external
call tone is injected to the local handset. The handset user can connect the PBX to the-
conference by pressing the “#” button.
Disconnection of existing PBX connections from the conference can be avoided by
pressing “*09” before “#”.
As long as the PBX is not connected to the conference the PBX subscriber hears the
call tone.
After the connection to the conference a PBX interface with DTMF signaling can dial
new subscribers by its own using the sequence “*09#XXX” (XXX = 3 digit subscriber
number). The sequence “*09” avoids disconnection of the PBX itself and other connect-
ed PBX. A PBX interface with pulse dialing cannot dial by its own and requires support
by other conference participants.
The PBX interface is disconnected by pressing “#” or after the automatic time out de-

In case of an incoming call from the PBX interface the interface is directly connected to
the conference if the conference is not busy. The PBX subscriber hears the dial tone
and can call a conference subscriber by dialing the 3 digit number.
If the conference is busy a external call tone is submitted to the conference. A confer-
ence participant can connect the PBX by pressing “#” or it is automatically done after the
external call time out of 30 seconds. As long as the PBX is not connected to the confer-

8.2 Call Types

With call types selective calling, group calling and collective calling it is possible to call
an individual subscriber, a group of subscribers or all subscribers collectively.
8.2.1 Selective Calling

Selective calling is used to call an individual subscriber.
⇒ Lift the telephone handset and enter the 3-digit number of the desired network
element. For procedure see flowchart in Fig. 8.1.
8.2.2 Group Calling

Group calling is used to call a group of network elements as part of a conference call.
Here network elements with the same tens digit or the same hundreds digit can be called
at the same time as a group. To call a group a 0 should be dialed for the ones digit and/or
the tens digit.
Examples: No. 120 signals 121 to 129

No. 100 signals 111 to 199
No. 000 signals 111 to 999 (= collective calling)
⇒ Lift the telephone receiver and enter the telephone number of the desired group
of network elements, replacing either the last or the last-but-one digit by 0 (see
Tab. 8.2). For procedure see flowchart in Fig. 8.1.
8.2.3 Collective Calling

Collective calling is used to call all subscribers of the conference at the same time.
⇒ Lift the telephone receiver and enter the telephone number 000 (see Tab. 8.2).
For procedure see flowchart in Fig. 8.1.
