2 Introduction
2.1 General
This document describes the architecture and functions of the TUDA1 unit
and shows, how this unit is commissioned and operated as part of the
XMC20.
The TUDA1 unit is a 1-slot wide service unit of XMC20. It supports four data
interfaces and one Ethernet bridge port.
Each data interface is independently configurable as DCE interface type
• V.24/V.28,
• V.35 (Appendix II),
• X.24/V.11, or
• RS485.
The DCE interfaces support the following transmission modes:
• Asynchronous mode for subrates from 0.6 kbit/s to 38.4 kbit/s.
• Synchronous mode for subrates from 0.6 kbit/s to 56 kbit/s.
• Synchronous mode for nx64 data rates from 1x64 kbit/s to 31x64 kbit/s.
• Oversampling mode for data rates from 0 kbit/s to 600 kbit/s.
The synchronous nx64 transmission modes provide the codirectional or con-
tradirectional timing operation.
The Ethernet bridge port is implemented as 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX inter-
face according to IEEE Std. 802.3-2002.
Beside the data access TUDA1 offers the possibility to establish data confer-
ences with participants from the TUDA1 unit or any data circuit available in
the XMC20.

The TUDA1 unit with ESW release tuda1_r2e was first released for the
XMC20 system release R4C. The ESW is compatible with the XMC20 sys-
tem releases R6A and R6B.
The TUDA1 unit provides individual connectors for each of the five front
interfaces. The four DCE interface connectors use a 24 pin Metral connector,
the Ethernet interface uses a RJ-45 connector.
The pin assignment of the five front panel connectors is shown in Figure 6
"Front view of the front panel connectors" and in Table 17 below.
The Ethernet interface connector exhibits 2 LEDs indicating the status of the
Ethernet connection:
• Upper LED (yellow): Blinking when a packet is received (activity LED).
• Lower LED (green): Steady light when the link is up and running (link
LED).
There is no difference in the indications if the link is half or full duplex or if
the link speed is 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.

The pin assignment of the DCE connector is dependent of the configured
interface type:
a. In the RS485 2-wire mode this pin is used for transmit and receive.
b. In the RS485 2-wire mode this pin is not used.
The pin assignment of the Ethernet connector is as follows:
For each interface type, cables are available which provide the adaptation of
the universal unit connector to the dedicated interface type connector:
Since no DCE connector is standardized for RS485 only the unterminated
cable, i.e. without connector, is offered for the RS485 interface type.
Cables are also offered without the dedicated interface connector, i.e. unter-
minated.
For details on TUDA1 cables, please refer to [506] User Manual “XMC20
cables”.
Please note:
The latching clips of the unit side connectors must be positioned to the left
side to insert the connector correctly.
• Terminated cable
A terminated cable is used to connect the X.24/V.11 data interface to the
DTE. The DCE end of the X.24/V.11 cable uses a 15-pole D-sub female
connector, according to ISO 4903.
• Unterminated cable
An open ended or unterminated cable with 8 pairs is used to connect the
X.24/V.11 data interface to the MDF or can be equipped with a customer
specific connector.
• Terminated cable
A terminated cable is used to connect the V.35 data interface to the DTE.
The DCE end of the V.35 cable uses a 34-pole female connector, accord-
ing to ISO 2593.
Please note:
The signal list of the V.35 interface is according to ITU-T V.36, i.e. the sig-
nals 113, 141 and 142 are added to the signal list of V.35. The circuit 108
has been added from the V.24 signal list.
• Unterminated cable
An open ended or unterminated cable with 12 pairs is used to connect
every pin of the data interface connector to the MDF or can be equipped
with a customer specific connector.
• Terminated cable
A terminated cable is used to connect the V.24/V.28 data interface to the
DTE. The DCE end of the X.24/V.11 cable uses a 25-pole D-sub female
connector, according to ISO 2110.
• Unterminated cable
An open ended or unterminated cable with 12 pairs is used to connect
every pin of the data interface connector to the MDF or can be equipped
with a customer specific connector.
• Unterminated cable
An unterminated cable with 4 pairs is used to connect the RS485 data
interface to the MDF or can be equipped with a customer specific con-
nector.
Since no DCE connector is standardized for RS485 only the unterminated
cable, i.e. without connector, is offered for the RS485 interface type
It is up to the customer to attach the desired type of connector.
• Unterminated cable
An open ended or unterminated cable with 12 pairs is used to connect
every pin of the data interface connector to the MDF or can be equipped
with a customer specific connector.
The Ethernet interface layout is per default according to the host layout, but
implements automatic crossover functionality (MDI/MDI-X), i.e. it can adapt
itself automatically to work with a host or a switch. The interface therefore
works with crossover and straight cables.
The following media types are supported:
Please note:
A straight Ethernet cable is available from KEYMILE.
The cables must be attached to the cable tray of the XMC25 or the corre-
sponding device of the XMC23 or XMC22.
The figure below shows the cable/cable tray assembly of the XMC25.

Please note:
The transmit data or timing signals can not be used to synchronize the net-
work element.
The following table shows which functions are available in which combina-
tions:
The V.11 and RS485 receivers are terminated with a 125 Ω resistor.
The RS485 interface can be configured to 4-wire (full duplex mode) or to 2-
wire (half duplex mode). In the 4-wire mode the circuit 103 and circuit 104
must be connected to separate wire pairs. In the 2-wire mode the connector
pins of the transmit interface (103) are used:
TUDA1 TUDA1
RS485 2-wire RS485 4 -wire
With the RS485 2-wire interface type the receive and transmit data signals
share the same wire pair. Only half duplex transmission mode is allowed for
the DTE and the DCE.
As a consequence the receive data driver (R/104) is active only when
receive data has to be applied to the line. During the receive idle phases the
receive data driver is inactive, i.e. not driving.
The TUDA1 unit offers two possibilities to control the receive data driver:
• RTS controlled mode,
• Data controlled mode.
In order to avoid flow back of receive data to the transmit direction, the trans-
mit data signal in the DCE is fixed to “1” as long as the receive data driver is
active.
In the RTS controlled mode the receive data driver is kept active as long as
the control signal RTS (C, 105) from the remote end is active (“0”). The
receive data driver is set to inactive as long as the control signal RTS from
the remote end is inactive (“1”).
The RTS (C, 105) from the remote end is transported in the CAS bit a, i.e.
control signal transport with CAS must be available and enabled.
Please note:
Control signal transport via CAS bits is a KEYMILE proprietary feature.
Please note:
The data port at the remote end must be configured to interface type X.24-
V.11, V.24-V.28 or V.35, since the interface type RS485 does not support
the control signal interfaces.
In the data controlled mode the receive data driver is kept active as long as
the data is 0 and for a configurable timer period after the 0 to 1 data transi-
tion. After the expiry of the timer the receive data driver is set to inactive.
timer expired
The timer period is configurable between 20 and 1500 samples of the over-
sampling clock rate. The timer has to be set at least to the duration of the
maximum continuous “1” period of the data signal, during which the driver
must be kept enabled.
Example:
Assume a data signal structure with a maximum of 9 consecutive “1” data
bits. The data signal has a data rate of 64 kbit/s, the oversampling rate is
320 kbit/s.
The timer has to be set at least to 320/64 * 9 = 45 samples
Please note:
The data controlled mode requires knowledge of the data signal structure,
i.e. about the maximum length of “1” periods.
Please note:
The mapping of the user data to the X.30 frame is only byte synchronous if
the byte timing signal B is used.
a. X.30 does not specify the user bit rate 1’200 bit/s, 19’200 bit/s, 38’400 bit/s and
56’000 bit/s. Nevertheless these user bit rates can be used with the TUDA1 unit
also for the X-type interfaces.
For the transport over the TDM network the subrate data signals are mapped
to a synchronous frame according to ITU-T V.110 for the V-type interfaces
and according to ITU-T X.30 for the X-type interfaces. The framed subrate
signals have an intermediate signalling rate expressed by 2k x 8 kbit/s,
where k = 0, 1, 2 or 3.

a. In order to maintain compatibility with the X.30 / 600 bit/s user rate, E7 is set to bi-
nary 0 in every fourth 80-bit frame, providing a frame length of 40 ms.
Please note:
The user bit rate 1’200 bit/s with X-type interfaces cannot provide the byte
timing.
The X.30/V.110 frame contains overhead bits named S bits, E bits and X bit
which are used to transport control signal states, the actual user data rate
indication and a remote alarm indication. For further information please refer
to section 5.5.2 Subrate Framing Signalling Transport (on page 69).
The TUDA1 DCE ports support synchronous nx64 kbit/s user data rates.
For the transport over the TDM network the nx64 kbit/s data signals are
mapped to n time slots in a G.704 framed 2048 kbit/s signal.
Depending on the usage of CAS up to 30 time slots or up to 31 time slots are
available for the user data transport.
Please note:
The parity bit is not evaluated in TUDA1, it is transported transparently.
In transmit direction, the asynchronous user data rate is adapted to the net-
work element timing (PETS) by deleting and adding stop bits. The maximum
allowed frequency deviation is
• -2.5% to +1.0% with the basic range configuration, and
• -2.5% to +2.3% with the extended range configuration.
In receive direction, deleted stop bits are detected and regenerated by gen-
erating eight (basic range) or four (extended range) stop bits with a reduced
length.
Start-stop characters can follow each other without a gap or with a gap.
Gaps are filled with stop bits.
With the asynchronous transmission mode, no timing signals (S/114/115, X/
113, B, F) are available at the DCE interface.
The incoming subrate user data is mapped directly into the V.110/X.30
frame, i.e. without any bit rate adaptation. The V.110/X.30 frame occupies 1
to 8 bits in a 64 kbit/s time slot.
The incoming nx64 kbit/s user data is mapped directly to n 64 kbit/s time
slots, i.e. without any bit rate adaptation.
In receive direction, the user data rate is derived from the network element
timing. The data, control and clock signals are fed to the DCE interface with
this user data rate.
With the interface type X.24/V.11 and subrate user data, TUDA1 supports
the byte timing signal (B) at the DCE interface.
With the interface type X.24/V.11 and nx64 kbit/s user data, TUDA1 supports
the byte timing (B) or frame timing (F) signal at the DCE interface.
Please note:
Since the same DCE connector pins are used for the byte timing (B), the
frame timing (F) and the codirectional transmit signal element timing (X),
only one of these three signals can be active at the same time.
Please note:
With the V.24/V.28 interface, the data signal rate is limited to 128 kbit/s.
Please note:
In oversampling mode, no clock signal is available at the DCE interface.
If the DTE is working in synchronous mode, i.e. with clock signals, two cases
must be considered:
1 The DTE delivers a clock signal (X, 113): A second DCE interface must
be used to oversample and transport the clock signal to the remote DTE
in parallel to the data signal. The clock signal is handled the same as a
data signal.

2 The DTE requires a clock signal (S, 114, 115): A second DCE interface
must be used to oversample and transport the clock signal to the remote
DTE. A third DCE interface must be used to generate the required user
clock signal.
This application is limited to the configurable user data rates of TUDA1
(0.6, 1.2, 2.4 …nx64 kbit/s).

The Ethernet frames are mapped to a nx64 kbit/s transport signal, constitut-
ing the WAN port to the TDM network.
Depending on the usage of CAS up to 30 time slots or up to 31 time slots are
available for the user data transport.
The WAN port encapsulates the MAC frames from the Ethernet port into
HDLC frames.

In direction from the Ethernet port to the WAN port the TUDA1 unit offers
four queues with a size of 64 frames each. The queues can be used for the
priorisation of the user traffic according to the 802.1p priority (VLAN priority)
or the DSCP value.
In direction from the WAN port to the Ethernet port the TUDA1 unit offers
one queue with a size of 128 frames.

The TUDA1 unit supports four algorithms for the priority to queue mapping:
• IP
The DSCP field of the IP header determines the packet priority.
• MAC
The 802.1p priority bits of the MAC header determine the packet priority.
Untagged packets get the default priority assigned. The default priority
value is configurable.
• IP Then MAC
The DSCP field of the IP header, if it exists, determines the packet prior-
ity. Otherwise the 802.1p priority bits determine the packet priority.
Untagged packets get the default priority assigned.
• MAC Then IP
The 802.1p priority bits of the MAC header, if they exist, determine the
packet priority. Otherwise the DSCP field of the IP header determines the
packet priority.
The scheduling of the frames in the queues towards the TDM WAN interface
uses the strict priority algorithm.
Packets in the higher priority queues are handled first. Packets in lower pri-
ority queues are only processed when there are no packets left in the higher
priority queue. Q1 is the highest priority queue, Q4 is the lowest priority
queue.
Please note:
The priority mechanism does not modify the Ethernet frames.
The point-to-point application connects one data interface (data and signal-
ling) with another data interface through a TDM network.
The connection can be protected with 1+1 SNC protection on the transport
layer.

Using the V.35, X.24/V.11 or V.24/V.28 interface type only one DTE can be
connected to one TUDA1 user port simultaneously.
The connection in the TDM network can be protected with 1+1 SNC protec-
tion on the transport layer.
The combination of the data signals and the signalling is accomplished with
one central conference (preferred solution for a star network) or with several
conference circuits placed at all network elements with connected slave
DTEs (preferred solution for a linear network).

5.3 Conferencing
5.3.1 Resources
The TUDA1 unit has a fixed amount of resources available for nx64 kbit/s
data conferences. Each conference that is created consumes resources
according to the maximum number of conference participants and to the par-
ticipants bandwidth.
• The maximum number of conference participants must be configured
when the conference is created. The following values are available:
− Maximum number of participants p = 4, or
− Maximum number of participants p = 8, or
− Maximum number of participants p = 16.
If later on a higher number of participants is required the conference must
be deleted and newly created with the appropriate maximum number of
participants.
• The conference participants bandwidth must be configured when the con-
ference is created. The following values are available:
− Rate = 64 kbit/s, i.e. number of time slots n = 1, to
− Rate = 1984 kbit/s, i.e. number of time slots n = 31.
The conference participants bandwidth can’t be modified.
The resources consumed by a conference is calculated with
RC = p x n, where
− p = number of participants
− n = number of time slots per participant
Example:
A conference with 8 participants and a participant bandwidth of
6x64=384 kbit/s requires conference resources of
RC = 8 x 6 = 48 time slots.
The sum of all conference resources is restricted to 848 time slots per
TUDA1 unit:
RU = Σ RC ≤ 848 time slots.
The maximum number of conferences with 4 participants is
C4max = 848/4 = 212.
The maximum number of conferences with 8 participants is
C8max = 848/8 = 106.
The maximum number of conferences with 16 participants is
C16max = 848/16 = 53.
Due to the fact that the building block for data conferences is a 16 participant
conference with a bandwidth of 1 time slot, one building block can be used to
create
• one conference with 16 participants, or
• two conferences with 8 participants, or
• four conferences with 4 participants.
The following formulas apply for the calculation of the used conference
resources, where np is the number of time slots used in conferences with p
participants:
• Number of conferences with 4 participants =
C4 = Σ n4 + Σ 2xn8 + Σ 4xn16
• Number of conferences with 8 participants =
C8 = round-up (Σ n4/2) + Σ n8 + Σ 2xn16
• Number of conferences with 16 participants =
C16 = round-up ((Σ n4/4) + (Σ n8/2)) + Σ n16
Example:
Assume four conferences:
− conference 1 with 4 participants and 192 kbit/s (n=3),
− conference 2 with 4 participants and 640 kbit/s (n=10),
− conference 3 with 8 participants and 320 kbit/s (n=5),
− conference 4 with 16 participants and 1984 kbit/s (n=31),
The used resources are as follows:
C4 = Σ n4 + Σ 2xn8 + Σ 4xn16
= (3+10) + 2x5 + 4x31 = 147
C8 = round-up (Σ n4/2) + Σ n8 + Σ 2xn16
= round-up ((3+10)/2) + 5 + 2x31 = 74
C16 = round-up ((Σ n4/4) + (Σ n8/2)) + Σ n16
= round-up ((3+10)/4) + 5/2) + 31 = 37
The remaining resources are as follows:
C4 = 212 - 147 = 65, or
C8 = 106 - 74 = 32, or
C16 = 53 - 37 = 16.

Please note:
The remaining conference resources can be read from the TUDA1 unit sta-
tus dialogue.
In addition to the nx64 kbit/s conferences the TUDA1 unit offers subrate con-
ferences. Also with subrate conferences the amount of resources available is
fixed. Each conference that is created consumes resources according to the
maximum number of conference participants.
• The maximum number of conference participants must be configured
when the conference is created. The following values are available:
− Maximum number of participants p = 4, or
− Maximum number of participants p = 8, or
− Maximum number of participants p = 12.
Please note:
The conference participants bandwidth must be configured when the confer-
ence is created. The conference participants bandwidth can’t be modified.
The sum of all subrate conference participants is restricted to 12 per TUDA1
unit:
RU = Σ RC ≤ 12 participants
The following subrate conference configurations are possible:
• 1 conference with 12 participants, or
• 1 conference with 8 participants plus 1 conference with 4 participants, or
• 3 conferences with 4 participants.
Please note:
The remaining conference resources can be read from the TUDA1 unit sta-
tus dialogue.
The TUDA1 unit accesses the PBUS (XMC20 TDM bus) with a maximum
capacity of 32 P12 signals, each having 32 time slots. Five P12 signals are
reserved for the user ports and 27 P12 are reserved for the conference par-
ticipants.
Each participant can only access one P12 signal, i.e. it is not possible to split
the participants data signal to more than one P12 signal. This has the conse-
quence that depending of the participants bandwidths not the full available
PBUS bandwidth can be used.
In the example below the remaining PBUS resources are:
• 7 participants with maximum 31x64 = 1984 kbit/s,
• 1 participant with maximum 27x64 = 1728 kbit/s,
• 2 participants with maximum 4x64 = 256 kbit/s,
• 24 participants with maximum 1x64 = 64 kbit/s.

Please note:
A P12 resource with 32 free timeslots is shown as two remaining resources:
→ 1 participant with maximum 31x64 = 1984 kbit/s, and
→ 1 participant with maximum 1x64 = 64 kbit/s.
To make best use of the available PBUS bandwidth, the resource usage
strategy must be taken into account when creating conferences. The
resource usage strategy is as follows:
• The P12 resources for conferences are grouped, according to the PBUS
line usage. Each PBUS line multiplexes 4 P12 resources:
− group 1: P12-5 to P12-7 (only 3 P12 resources),
− group 2: P12-8 to P12-11,
− group 3: P12-12 to P12-15,
− group 4: P12-16 to P12-19,
− group 5: P12-20 to P12-23,
− group 6: P12-24 to P12-27,
− group 7: P12-28 to P12-31.
• The groups are populated with participants from group 1 to group 7. A
new group is accessed when there are no remaining resources left for a
participant.
• Each group is populated with participants
− first from the lowest numbered timeslot on any of the groups P12 to
the highest numbered timeslot, and
− second from the groups lowest numbered P12 to the highest num-
bered P12.
Please note:
Only created participants make use of PBUS resources.
→ The parameter “maximum number of participants” of a conference
does not influence the PBUS resource usage.
Please note:
The remaining PBUS resources usable for additional participants can be
read from the TUDA1 unit status dialogue.
Conferences are accessible for local participants, i.e. from TUDA1 ports or
any other data unit in the network element. The conferences include also the
participants from the “to master” and “to slave” direction, i.e. from other net-
work elements, transported via the TDM network.
The data conference function performs the addition of the data signals. The
data signals are combined with a wired-AND operation. The wired-AND
requires all inactive terminals to send a continuous “1”-signal.
It is possible to control the data access of a participant to the conference by
the associated C/105 control signal. Refer to section 5.3.5 Conference Con-
trol (on page 60) for further information.
The control signals transported in the CAS a and b bits or in the subrate
frame bits S, SA and SB of all participants are combined in a wired-AND
function, i.e. if any of the participants exhibits an active state (CAS-bit = 0 or
S, SA, SB bit = 0), this active state is inherited to the combined CAS signal.

Please note:
The controlled access of a participant to a conference is only available if
CAS is available (nx64 kbit/s data rate) or if the subrate frame bits S or SB
are available (subrate).
Please note:
If using the control signal 109/I to enable the DTE transmitter the delay time
in the TUDA1 at the slave DTE location from control signal 105/C = ON to
control signal 109/I = ON must be configured to at least 20 ms when using
the oversampling transmission mode. With subrate transport the delay must
be correspondingly longer.
The DCE interfaces of TUDA1 are able to supervise the send time and idle
time of the DTE and to detach it from the connection point if the correspond-
ing limits are exceeded. This prevents that the system will be locked by a
slave DTE which continuously sends data. Refer to section 7.4 DTE send
and idle Time Restrictions (on page 111).
With each of the 4 user ports the TUDA1 unit offers a DCE interface with
data, control and timing signals. The data signals are the transmit signal T/
103 and the receive signal R/104.

The data handling can be configured with the following control and mainte-
nance mechanisms:
• Interface mode 2-wire or 4-wire:
The RS485 interface type can be configured to 2-wire mode, i.e. half
duplex mode of the RS485 bus, or to 4-wire mode, i.e. full duplex mode
of the RS485 bus.
With the 2-wire mode the squelch function inserts a “1” signal in transmit
direction as long as the driver in receive direction is active.
All other interface types use the full duplex mode with separate transmit
and receive signals.
Please note:
The signal monitoring status on the receive data signal shows the signal sta-
tus before the buffer in receive direction.
→ With the RS485 2-wire interface type and RTS controlled mode there
can be activity on the data signal also when the buffer in receive direc-
tion is disabled. The activity is shown in the port status “To DTE”
parameters.
• Data signal inversion (transmit signal T/103 and receive signal R/104):
In order to be compatible with DTEs using inverted logic, the transmit and
the receive data signal can be inverted.
• Consequent action (transmit signal T/103):
On a detected failure in the transmit data signal T/103 or the transmit tim-
ing signal X/113, the data is replaced with a “1” or “0” signal. The conse-
quent action can be disabled.
On a detected send or idle time filter violation the data is replaced with a
“1” signal. The consequent action can be disabled.
Please note:
The level detection on the transmit data signal T/103 is not available for the
RS485 2-wire interface type.
• Loop 3c:
The maintenance function “Loop 3c” loops the transmit data signal back
to the receive direction. For details please refer to section 7.2.3 Loop 3c
(on page 108).
• Loop 2b:
The maintenance function “Loop 2b” loops the receive data signal back to
the transmit direction. For details please refer to section 7.2.1 Loop 2b
(on page 106).
• Loop 3b:
The maintenance function “Loop 3b” loops the transmit data signal back
to the receive direction. For details please refer to section 7.2.2 Loop 3b
(on page 107).
• Interface line state “out of service”:
The maintenance function “out of service” of an interface replaces the
transmit signal going to the PBUS by a “1” signal.
In receive direction the data signal from the PBUS is replaced by a “1”
signal.
• Interface line state “test pattern insertion”:
The maintenance function “test pattern insertion” replaces in receive
direction the data signal by a continuous test pattern “1010”.
• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are “trail signal fail” and “trail signal degrade” from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled in the CTP configuration, CAS
AIS is an additional switching criterion.
• Consequent action (receive signal R/104):
On a detected failure in the receive signal the data is replaced with a “0”
or “1” signal.

The data handling can be configured with the following control mechanisms:
• Participant configuration “signalling to conference”:
The “signalling to conference” parameter allows to control the forwarding
of control signals towards the conference. This parameter influences also
the forwarding of the data signal in case of the conditional interconnection
(see below). If “signalling to conference” is set to “No” the “conditional
interconnection” parameter set to “Yes” disables the forwarding of the
data signal.
• Participant configuration “conditional interconnection”:
The conditional interconnection function allows to control the access of a
participants data signal to the conference by the signal state of the con-
trol signal C/105, which has to be available at the conference input, i.e.
the port configuration must enable the forwarding of control signals to the
network (“signalling to network” = “Yes”) and the participant configuration
5.5.1 Overview
Depending on the interface type used different control signals are available.
Refer to Table 20: "Data, control and timing signals with their electrical char-
acteristics" (on page 38).
• C/105 (to DCE)
In normal operation the control signal C/105 is used by the DCE as an
indication that the DTE is ready to transmit data.
With subrates, the state of the control signal C/105 is transported to the
remote DCE in the SB bit of the V.110 frame or S bit of the X.30 frame.
Alternatively the state of the control signal 105 can be transported in the
SA bit and the SB bit of the V.110 frame.
When using CAS the state of the control signal C/105 can be transported
to the remote DCE in the CAS a bit.
• 106 (from DCE)
The control signal 106 informs the DTE that it can start to send data.
The state of the control signal 106 can be controlled by the local control
signal 105 with various delay settings. The delay time can be configured
to
− 0, 10, 20 or 40 ms.
The delay is active for the OFF to ON and ON to OFF state transitions.
With subrates the state of the control signal 106 can be controlled by the
remote DCE via the X bit of the V.110 or X.30 frame (loss of frame syn-
chronization alarm). As long as the remote DCE has no synchronization
failure the control signal 106 is in the ON state and the local DTE can
transmit data.
• 107 (from DCE)
The control signal 107 informs the DTE that the remote DTE is in fault
free operation.
With subrates the state of the control signal 107 can be controlled by the
remote DTE via the SA bit of the V.110 frame which transports the
remote state of the control signal 108.
When using CAS the state of the control signal 107 can be controlled by
the remote DCE via the CAS b bit which transports the remote state of
the control signal 108.
• 108 (to DCE)
The control signal 108 is used to inform the DCE that the DTE is fault free
and in operation.
With subrates and V-type interfaces, the state of the control signal 108
can be transported to the remote DCE in the SA bit of the V.110 frame.
When using CAS the state of the control signal 108 can be transported to
the remote DCE in the CAS b bit.
• I/109 (from DCE)
The control signal I/109 is used to ready the DTE for receiving data from
the DCE.
The state of the control signal I/109 can be controlled by the local control
signal C/105 with various delay settings. The delay time can be config-
ured to
− 0, 10, 20 or 40 ms.
The delay is active for the OFF to ON and ON to OFF state transitions.
With subrates the state of the control signal I/109 can be controlled by the
remote DCE via the SB bit of the V.110 frame or the S bit of the X.30
frame which transports the remote state of the control signal C/105.
When using CAS the state of the control signal 109/I can be controlled by
the remote DCE via the CAS a bit which transports the remote state of
the control signal C/105.

Please note:
The S bit, SA bit, SB bit and X bit are only available with subrates. The
56 kbit/s user data rate must use the V.110 framing with signalling.
Please note:
The a bit and the b bit are only transmitted to the PBUS when CAS is ena-
bled, i.e. when the “signalling to network” parameter is set to “yes”.
Please note:
With active loops the control signals are controlled according to the specific
loop.
→ Refer to section 7.2 Loops (on page 106).
Please note:
The RS485 interface type supports no control signals.
The X.30 and the V.110 frames contain overhead bits named S bits, E bits
and X bit which are used to transport control signal states, the actual user
data rate indication and a remote alarm indication.
S bits are used to transport the status of selected DCE interface signals from
the local DCE to the remote DCE.

The frame formats of X.30 and V.110 are compatible. The S1 to S9 bits of
the V.110 frame occupy the places of the SP, SQ and SR bits of the X.30
frame.
With the user data rates up to 38’400 bit/s, the E1 to E3 bits are used to indi-
cate the local user data rate to the far end. The transport of network inde-
pendent clocking information in the E-bits E4 to E6 is not supported.
The X bit in the V.110 and X.30 frame is used to transport the status of the
X.30/V.110 frame synchronization to the remote DCE:
− Frame synchronization OK: X bit = 0.
− Frame synchronization failed: X bit = 1.
The received X bit can control the status of the DCE signal 106.

Please note:
The control information is transported in the abcd bits only with the nx64 kbit/
s transport mode.
→ With subrate signals the S bit or the SA and SB bits of the X.30/V.110
frame are used instead.
With each of the 4 DCE interfaces the TUDA1 unit offers up to 3 control sig-
nal inputs and up to 4 control signal outputs, refer to Table 20: "Data, control
and timing signals with their electrical characteristics" (on page 38).

The control signal handling can be configured with the following control and
maintenance mechanisms:
• Consequent action on a failure of the T/103 data signal or of the X/113
timing signal:
On a detected failure in the transmit signal the control signals C/105 and
108 towards the network are set to OFF.
• Configuration in transmit direction:
The incoming control signals C/105 and 108 can be replaced by a fixed
ON or OFF value.
• Loop 3c:
The maintenance function “Loop 3c” loops the control signal 108 back to
the control signal 107 and loops the control signal C/105 back to the con-
trol signal I/109. In transmit direction the control signals C/105 and 108
are set to OFF. The loop is near the DCE interface. For details please
refer to section 7.2.3 Loop 3c (on page 108).
• Loop 2b:
If the control signals C/105 or 108 are configured to “from DTE”, the
maintenance function “Loop 2b” loops the control signal I/109 received
from the network back to the control signal C/105 and loops the control
signal 107 received from the network back to the control signal 108. If the
control signals C/105 or 108 are not configured to “from DTE”, the control
signals C/105 and 108 towards the network remain unchanged.
In receive direction the control signals 107, I/109 and 106 are set to OFF.
The loop is near the DCE interface. For details please refer to section
7.2.1 Loop 2b (on page 106).
• Loop 3b:
The maintenance function “Loop 3b” loops the control signal 108 back to
the control signal 107 and loops the control signal C/105 back to the con-
trol signal I/109. In transmit direction the control signals C/105 and 108
are set to OFF. The loop is near the PBUS interface. For details please
refer to section 7.2.2 Loop 3b (on page 107).
• Control signal transport, transmit direction:
With subrates the state of the control signal C/105 is transported to the
remote DCE via the SB bit of the V.110 frame or the S bit of the X.30
frame.
In order to be compatible with a remote DCE of X-type, the state of the
control signal C/105 can in addition also be transported via the SA bit of
the V.110 frame. This is enabled with the “V/X compatibility mode”
parameter set to “Yes”.
With subrates the state of the control signal 108 is transported to the
remote DCE via the SA bit of the V.110 frame.
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the state of the control signal C/
105 is transported to the remote DCE via the CAS a bit and the state of
the control signal 108 is transported to the remote DCE via the CAS b bit.
The CAS pattern is inserted in all positions of the used time slots.
The transport of signalling information towards the network can be disa-
bled with the “signalling to network” parameter set to “No”:
− With subrates the SA and SB bits of the V.110 frame or the S bit of the
X.30 frame are set to OFF (“1”).
− In the nx64 kbit/s mode the CAS abcd pattern is the idle pattern
“1101”.
• Interface line state “out of service”, transmit and receive direction:
In transmit direction the maintenance function “out of service” of an inter-
face activates the TSD and TSF signals. TSF and TSD are the XMC20
internal failure signals used to control the protection switching.
With subrates the complete X.30 or V.110 frame is replaced by a “1” sig-
nal, i.e. the control signals C/105 and 108 in the X.30 and V.110 frame
are set to OFF.
If CAS is used the AIS-CAS pattern (1111) is inserted in all positions of
the used time slots
In receive direction the control signals 106, 107 and I/109 are all set to
OFF.
• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are “trail signal fail” and “trail signal degrade” from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled in the CTP configuration, CAS
AIS is an additional switching criterion.
Please note:
The nx64 kbit/s mode not using CAS provides no means for the transport of
control signals to the remote DCE.
→ Use CAS to enable control signal transport. This is a KEYMILE propri-
etary feature.
→ CAS is enabled when the configuration parameter “Signalling to net-
work” is set to “Yes”
Please note:
If a port requires CAS for the control signal transport CAS must be enabled
on the P12 transport signal.
→ The termination mode of the P12 transport signal must be set to
“PCM30” or “PCM30C”.

The control signal handling can be configured with the following control
mechanisms:
• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are “trail signal fail” and “trail signal degrade” from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled in the CTP configuration, CAS
AIS is an additional switching criterion.
• Consequent action:
On a detected failure in the receive signal the data is replaced with a “1”
or “0” signal (refer to section 5.4.2 Conference Data Handling (on
page 63)). The CAS is replaced with the CAS-AIS pattern. Consequently
all control signals are set to OFF.
• Control signal transport, receive direction:
With subrates the SA and SB bits are demapped from the V.110 frame or
the S bits are demapped from the X.30 frame.
Note that with the X.30 frame the S bits are interpreted as if they were SA
and SB bits of a V.110 frame. This allows the interconnection with partici-
pants connected to a V.110 type interface. It is up to the operator to con-
figure the control signal 107 output at the data port correspondingly, e.g.
set it to OFF.
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the a and b bits are demapped
from the CAS. The CAS pattern of the first used time slot is evaluated.
The CAS a bit is alternatively used to the S or SB bit, the CAS b bit is
alternatively used to the SA bit.
Control signals can be blocked from accessing the conference circuit with
the “signalling to conference” parameter set to “No”. In this case the con-
trol signals are set to OFF.
If the “conditional interconnection” parameter is set to “Yes”, the control
signals are only forwarded to the conference if the SB bit or CAS a bit,
corresponding to the control signal C/105, is ON.
• Participant state “out of service”:
The maintenance function “out of service” of a participant simulates a fail-
ure of the participant in receive and transmit direction.
In transmit direction the maintenance function “out of service” of a partici-
pant activates the TSD and TSF signals. TSF and TSD are the XMC20
internal failure signals used to control the protection switching.
With subrates the control signals S, SA and SB are set to OFF in both
directions.
In the nx64 kbit/s mode the a and b bits are set to OFF in receive direc-
tion. In transmit direction the CAS-AIS pattern (1111) is inserted in all
positions of the used time slots.
• Participant state “test pattern insertion”:
With subrates the control signals S, SA and SB are transparent in receive
direction.
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the a and b bits are set to OFF in
receive direction.
• Control signal transport, transmit direction:
With subrates the SA and SB bits are mapped to the V.110 frame or the
S bit is mapped to the X.30 frame. In order to be compatible with a
remote DCE of X-type, the state of the SB bit can in addition also be
mapped to the SA positions of the V.110 frame. This is controlled with the
Subrate framing” parameter set to “X.30”.
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the a and b bits are mapped to the
CAS. The CAS pattern is inserted in all positions of the used time slots.
Control signals can be blocked from accessing the network with the “sig-
nalling from conference” parameter set to “No”:
− With subrates the S, SA and SB bits are set to OFF.
− In the nx64 kbit/s mode the CAS pattern in transmit direction is
replaced by the default pattern (1101).
Please note:
The nx64 kbit/s mode not using CAS provides no means for the transport of
control signals to the remote DCE.
→ Use CAS to enable control signal transport. This is a KEYMILE propri-
etary feature.
→ CAS is enabled with the following configuration parameters set to
“Yes”:
“Signalling to conference”,
“Signalling from conference”.
Please note:
If a conference participant requires CAS for the control signal transport CAS
must be enabled on the P12 transport signal.
→ The termination mode of the P12 transport signal must be set to
“PCM30” or “PCM30C”.
Please note:
The X bit of the V.110 subrate frame is not logically added in the conference
function.
→ The X bit is set according to the frame loss state in the participants
termination function.
With codirectional timing the data signal is in both directions, to and from the
DTE, accompanied by its corresponding clock signal. The source for the
receive timing signal is the DCE, the source for the transmit timing signal is
the DTE.
Since the TUDA1 expects the transmit data signal to be synchronous to the
network element timing (PETS), the transmit timing signal must be synchro-
nized to the receive timing signal inside the DTE (loop timing).

Please note:
Contradirectional timing is problematic with higher user data rates, i.e. when
the delay time on the interconnection from the DCE to the DTE and back to
the DCE is in the range of a half unit interval (UI) of the user data rate. In this
case the correct sampling of the data signal can not be guaranteed with the
fixed timing configuration. The adaptive timing configuration should be used
instead.
Please note:
The adaptive timing configuration should not be used together with the byte
timing since the timing relationship between signal element timing and byte
timing is then no more defined.
Timing signals are used in the synchronous transmission mode of the DCE
interface. With the asynchronous and oversampling transmission modes the
timing signals are not used and are correspondingly disabled.
All timing signals generated by the TUDA1 unit, i.e. 114, 115, S, B and F are
synchronous to the network element timing source, i.e. the PETS. The
nx64 kHz and subrate timing signals are derived with appropriate dividers
from the PETS.
The frame timing signal F is synchronous to the G.704 frame on the PBUS.
Frame timing is only available for nx64 kbit/s signals.
The byte timing signal B is synchronous to the octet boundaries of the
receive data signal.
Frame timing and byte timing are only available with the X-type DCE inter-
faces. They are exclusively used with the DTE transmit timing signal X.
Please note:
Byte timing is not available with the user bit rate 1200 bit/s.

The timing signals can be configured with the following control and mainte-
nance mechanisms:
• Signal monitor and consequent action:
The transmit timing signal X/113 is supervised for a loss of signal.
A missing clock signal X/113 is detected when TUDA1 counts at least
4xn (n ≤ 10, i.e. rate ≤ 640 kbit/s) octet slips in 2.5 seconds. This corre-
sponds to a clock offset of ± 200 ppm in relation to the network element
timing. With n > 10, the number of octet slips to be counted is fixed to 40.
As a consequent action a missing clock signal X/113 is replaced by the
TUDA1 internal timing signal S/114.
The consequent action on the transmit data signal can be enabled or dis-
abled.
If the consequent action is enabled
− the data signal T/103 is replaced by “1” or “0”,
− the control signals C/105 and 108 towards the network are set to “1”
(i.e. “OFF”).
• B or F timing:
With X-type interfaces with synchronous user data rates the B/F/X timing
signal can be disabled, used as an input (X/113) or used as an output (B/
F):
− None (B/F):
The B/F timing signal output is disabled or configured as an input to
the TUDA1 and used for the transmit signal synchronization.
− Byte Timing (B):
The B/F/X timing signal is configured as an output to the DTE and sig-
nals the last bit of each data byte sent to the DTE on the receive user
data signal.
− Frame Timing (F):
The B/F/X timing signal is configured as an output to the DTE and sig-
nals the beginning of each frame of data bytes sent to the DTE on the
receive user data signal.
• Transmit Timing
The timing signal used for the TUDA1 internal sampling of the transmit
user data signal T/103 can be configured to the following modes:
− Contradirectional fix:
The transmit user data signal (T/103) is sampled with the timing signal
S/114. The nominal delay from clocking out the receive data signal (R/
104) to the sampling of the transmit data signal (T/103) is half a bit
width.
In this mode the signal X/113 is not used and the corresponding con-
nector pins can be used as byte/frame timing (B/F) signal output.
− Contradirectional adaptive:
The transmit user data signal (T/103) is sampled with a phase
adjusted timing signal S/114. The sampling phase is adjusted to the
signal state changes of the transmit signal T/103. The transmit user
data signal can have any phase in relation to the transmit timing signal
(S/114).
In this mode the signal X/113 is not used.
This mode is used for relatively long lines and high user data rates
where the signal delay is of the same order of magnitude as the half
bit width or more.
Please note:
The byte or frame timing (B/F) signal output can not be used since the phase
relationship between the transmit data signal and the B/F timing signal can
not be determined by TUDA1.
− Codirectional:
The transmit user data signal (T/103) is sampled with the transmit tim-
ing signal received from the DTE (X/113). Note that the receive timing
signal (S/115) must be looped in the DTE so that the transmit timing
signal (X/113) is synchronous to the network element timing.
In this mode the signal X/113 is used and the corresponding connec-
tor pins are configured as inputs. The timing circuit B/F can’t be used,
i.e. the X.24 timing circuits must be configured to “None (B/F)”.
Please note:
With subrates the “contradirectional adaptive” and “codirectional” transmit
timing modes are not available.
• Loop 2b:
The maintenance function “Loop 2b” loops the receive timing signal S/
115 back to the transmit direction where it replaces the transmit timing
signal from the DTE X/113. With an active loop 2b the B or F timing sig-
nal can be set to OFF. For details please refer to section 7.2.1 Loop 2b
(on page 106).
5.7 Protection
TUDA1 supports 1+1 linear trail protection and 1+1 inherently monitored
subnetwork connection protection (SNCP/I). 1+1 protection is available for
the DCE interfaces and for the conference participants.
The difference between the two protection scenarios lies in the availability of
CAS.
• If CAS is available the CAS AIS failure can be detected, which represents
then the 1+1 linear trail protection. Linear trail protection protects against
server failures and disconnected matrix connections (via CAS AIS detec-
tion).
• If CAS is not available only the server layer defects can be detected,
which represents then the 1+1 SNCP/I protection. SNCP/I protects
against server failures.
1+1 protection provides the 1+1 unidirectional protection. The operation type
can be configured to revertive or non-revertive.
Please note:
Non-revertive operation is only available for subrates and for n=1 (64 kbit/s).
The switching of the working and the protecting channel is done in sink
direction only. On the source side a fixed bridge is used.
Please note:
The loss of subrate frame alignment is not used as protection switching crite-
rion.

TUDA1 TUDA1
P0-nc protection switching takes place in the TUDA1 cross connect function.
Protection switching action can be driven by two different request types:
• Traffic signal requests:
− Signal fail (SF)
The SF state is activated if the analysis of the incoming server signal
on the transport unit reports a signal failure, e.g. loss of signal.
− CAS-AIS
The CAS signalling pattern abcd of the received signal exhibits an
AIS, i.e. abcd = 1111.
− Signal degraded (SD)
The SD state is activated if the analysis of the incoming server signal
on the transport unit reports a degraded signal, e.g. BER 10-6.
• External command requests
− Forced switch to working
− Forced switch to protecting
− Manual switch to working
− Manual switch to protecting
Note that a forced switch is executed even when there is a failure on the tar-
get signal. A manual switch is executed only if the target signal exhibits no
degradation or a less severe degradation than the active signal.
The external command requests are maintenance functions, i.e. they are not
stored in the units database.
To protect the TUDA1 functions against a failure on the TUDA1 unit, XMC20
offers the possibility to equip the subrack with a second TUDA1 unit as a
protecting unit.
EQP protects the conference function. The DCE interfaces can not be pro-
tected. If protection of the DCE interfaces is required, external equipment
performing the switching of the interface signals between the working and
the protecting unit must be used. Refer to section 5.7.2.5 DTE cabling for
1+1 equipment protection (on page 93).
In case of a failure on the active (working or protecting) unit the user traffic is
rerouted from the failed TUDA1 unit to the standby TUDA1 (protecting or
working) unit.
The working and the protecting TUDA1 units can be plugged in any free slot
of the XMC20 subrack.
Please note:
The protection switching is non revertive, i.e. after the repair of a failed
TUDA1 unit, the currently active TUDA1 unit remains the active unit irrespec-
tive if it is the working or protecting unit.
Please note:
During a protection switching event the user traffic is interrupted for up to
6 s.
To enable equipment protection for the TUDA1 unit some prerequisites must
be met:
• The protecting TUDA1 unit must be in the unassigned state. Otherwise
the unit will not be selectable in the EQP configuration in AP: /unit-x, Con-
figuration - EQP: Create Group…, EQP Group Creation, Protecting Unit.
• The protecting unit must be hardware compatible with the working unit.
Check the hardware compatibility status after the EQP group configura-
tion in the AP: /unit-x, Status - EQP: Units Status, HW Compatible.
The following requirements must be fulfilled that the two units are stated
as hardware compatible:
− Identical unit function. The unit function is composed of the 5 first
characters of the unit name, e.g. TUDA1. The unit name is available at
the AP:/ Main - Equipment, Unit.
− Identical board identification, e.g. 349. The board identification is avail-
able at the AP:/ Main - Inventory, Board ID.
The working TUDA1 unit of an EQP group is assigned and configured the
same way as a stand alone TUDA1 unit.
The protecting TUDA1 unit is running with the same ESW as the working
unit and must be in the unassigned state.
The 1+1 equipment protection group is configured on the working unit:
• AP: /unit-x, Configuration - EQP.
− Execute the command “Create Group…”.
− Select the Protecting unit, e.g. /unit-18.
− Execute “OK”.
• Save the NE configuration.
Further on any changes on the TUDA1 configuration must be done on the
active unit. To find out which unit is the active unit check the AP tree or the
unit status of the working or protecting TUDA1 unit.
The unit status of the working and protecting units shows the actual status of
the units belonging to the equipment protection group. The unit status offers
also the commands for the EQP manipulation:
• Manual switch
The currently standby unit is set as active unit and the currently active
unit is set as standby unit. This requires that the currently standby unit is
in operational state, i.e.
− has no failure,
− is not isolated.
A manual switch is possible if it is indicated with the “Manual Switch-Over
Allowed” parameter.
Note that this command can only be activated on the working unit status
window.
• Forced switch
The currently standby unit is set as active unit, independent of the failure
state of the currently standby unit.
Note that there is a risk that the user traffic will be permanently inter-
rupted if the currently standby unit is in a failure state.
The currently active unit is set as standby unit.
Note that this command can only be activated on the working unit status
window.
• Isolate unit
To be able to perform a maintenance action, e.g. update of the embed-
ded software, on an active unit without activating a protection switch-
over, the working unit can be isolated. This means that the protection
switching state machine is frozen and no protection switch will be done
until the isolation of the unit is removed.
Note that the isolate unit command can only be applied to the working
unit.
• Join unit
Remove the isolation of a previously isolated unit.
Note that the join unit command can only be applied to the working unit.
The table in the EQP status window displays the following items:
• Unit
MO address of the unit belonging to the EQP group.
• EQP unit mode
The working unit is the unit where the protection group has been config-
ured.
The protecting unit is the unit that has been set to the unassigned state
before configuring the protection group.
• Active
Active true means the unit is the active unit, i.e. it is the operational unit.
Active false means the unit is the standby unit, i.e. it is not the operational
unit.
The active state can be changed with the “Manual Switch” and “Forced
Switch” commands.
• Failure
Failure true means the unit is in a failure state.
Failure false means the unit is not in a failure state.
The failure state can not be changed manually.
• Substituted
Substituted true on the working unit means the unit has been substituted
by the protecting unit. A substituted unit is also in the “active false” state.
Substituted false on the working unit means the unit has not been substi-
tuted, i.e. it is the active unit or it has been isolated.
Due to the fact that TUDA1 has front interfaces that are doubled when using
the 1+1 equipment protection function, the DTE cabling must be set up
accordingly.
1+1 equipment protection with TUDA1 works only with V.24/V.28, V.35 or
X.24/V.11 type DTEs providing two separate interfaces. One of the inter-
faces is the working interface while the other is in standby mode.
DTE TUDA1

1+1 equipment protection with a RS485 type DTE is possible as long as the
electrical interface parameters are not violated.
When using the Ethernet port of TUDA1 with 1+1 protection switching, the
Ethernet cabling must be connected with an external switch box or a hub.
Great care should be taken when using additional switch boxes, as these
devices must be considered as single points of failure in the sensitive path of
the 1+1 equipment protection scheme.
6 Commissioning
In this section, you will find a commissioning example for the TUDA1 unit, a
TUDA1 interface and a TUDA1 conference.
Please refer to [355] User Manual “ECST” for details on the general GUI
aspects, and to [302] User Guide “XMC25/XMC23/XMC22” for specific char-
acteristics of the XMC20.

The creation of profiles is based upon templates that are provided with the
ESW versions.
→ The templates are available only after importing the respective service
unit’s ESW in ECST
Please note:
Make sure that you only use profiles from templates that have been installed
with the ESW running on the respective unit. If you use profiles from other
ESW versions, you may get an error message when trying to apply the pro-
file to the unit’s configuration.
Please note:
TUDA1 supports the provisioning of up to 8 different QoS mapping profiles.
The profile is applicable to the managed objects according to the following
table.
6.2.1 Prerequisites

6.3.1 Prerequisites
Conference configuration This action list shows step by step how to configure a conference. The given
example uses mostly the default values.
The following assumptions and identifiers are used:
‒ The TUDA1 unit is assumed to be plugged in slot 7 of a XMC25.
‒ The TUDA1 unit is assigned.
‒ The conference to be configured has the identifier conf-1.
‒ The maximum number of participants is 4.
‒ The initial number of participants is 3.
‒ The rate is 64 kbit/s.
‒ The conference is of the multipoint-to-multipoint type.
‒ The conference has one “local” participant, one participant “to master”
and one participant “to slave”.
‒ The participants use CAS for the control signal transport.
‒ The participants data and control signals are interconnected without
conditional control.
7 Operation
This section describes the operation functions of the TUDA1 unit.
Please note:
The operation functions described in this section assume a correctly config-
ured and operational TUDA1 unit.
LEDs on the front of the TUDA1 unit are used to indicate to the user the
alarm status summary of the unit and of the network traffic signals.

7.2 Loops
For maintenance purposes TUDA1 offers for the DCE interfaces three differ-
ent types of diagnostic loops.
TUDA1
R/104
PBUS
DTE Loop 3c Loop 2b Processing Loop 3b
T/103
Please note:
An active loop 2b, 3b or 3c is traffic disturbing.
Please note:
An active loop generates the alarm “Maintenance Function Active”.
Please note:
There are no diagnostics loops available with MAC bridging.
7.2.1 Loop 2b
The loop 2b is the so called remote loop. The loop selector is located close
to the DCE interface.
TUDA1 A, TUDA1 B,
local remote
T/103
R/104
7.2.2 Loop 3b
The loop 3b is the so called local loop. The loop selector is located close to
the PBUS interface of the TUDA1 unit.
TUDA1 A, TUDA1 B,
local remote
T/103
R/104
• The receive data signal R/104 is replaced by the transmit data signal T/
103.
• The control signal I/109 is replaced by the transmitted control signal C/
105 if the control signal I/109 is configured to “Remote-105”. With another
configuration the control signal is not modified.
• The control signal 107 is replaced by the transmitted control signal 108 if
the control signal 107 is configured to “Remote- 108”. With another con-
figuration the control signal is not modified.
• The control signal 106 is not modified by a loop 3b.
• The control signal 142 is set to ON, indicating to the DTE that a test func-
tion is active.
• The timing signals S/114, S/115 and B/F remain active.
During an active loop 3b the signals towards the DTE B are as follows:
• The transmit data signal T/103 is a fixed pattern, configurable to “1, “0” or
“0101”
• The control signal C/105 is set to OFF.
• The control signal 108 is set to OFF.
Please note:
With subrates the transmit data signal towards the DTE B is not the fixed
pattern, but the unchanged user data signal from DTE A.
→ The loop 3b with subrates is transparent.
7.2.3 Loop 3c
The loop 3c is the so called local loop. The loop selector is located close to
the DCE interface of TUDA1.
TUDA1 A, TUDA1 B,
local remote
T/103
R/104
Please note:
With higher user data rates and long cables, the timing condition of the data
sampling in the DTE can not be fulfilled anymore since the looped data sig-
nal is not resampled in TUDA1.
→ Use loop 3b instead.
The port and participant line state maintenance functions allow to take a
DCE interface or a conference participant out of service or to insert a test
pattern towards the front port or towards the conference.
The line state maintenance function provides the following parameters:
• In service:
This parameter restores the normal operating state of the front port or of
the conference participant.
• Out of service:
Take a front port or a conference participant out of service, i.e. replace
the data signal by an all-1 signal in receive and transmit direction, set all
control signals towards the DTE to OFF, set the S, SA and SB bits in the
X.30/V.110 frame to OFF and replace the signalling towards the network
by an AIS (abcd = 1111) and activate the TSD and TSF signals. TSF and
TSD are the XMC20 internal failure signals used to control the protection
switching.
The timing signals remain active.
− Port maintenance:
This parameter can be used to simulate a failed path towards the front
port.
− Participant maintenance:
This parameter can be used to test the protection switching in a point-
to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint application due to a failed
TUDA1 unit.
Please note:
The line states of both the “to master” and the “to slave” participants must be
set to “out of service” to check the correct protection switching.
• Test pattern insertion:
Replace the receive data signal at the front port or a conference partici-
pants data signal by a test pattern 0101, set all control signals towards
the DTE to OFF. The CAS signalling of a conference participant is set to
OFF. The subrate S, SA and SB bits of a conference participant are
transparent.
The timing signals remain active.
− Port maintenance:
This parameter provides an easy way to check the connection from
the TUDA1 unit to a connected DTE.
To insert a test pattern towards the TDM network, a loop 2b or an
external hardware loop must be applied at the corresponding inter-
face.
− Participant maintenance:
This parameter provides an easy way to check the connection from
the TUDA1 unit to any other conference participant.
In a point-to-multipoint application a test pattern inserted at the “to
master” participant is sent to all “local” and the “to slave” participants.
A test pattern inserted at a “local” or “to slave” participant is sent to the
“to master” participant.
In a multipoint-to-multipoint application a test pattern inserted at any
participant is sent to all other participants.
a. TSF and TSD are the XMC20 internal failure signals used to control the protection
switching
b. With subrates the control signals towards a conference are transparent.
For the location of the signal insertion points please refer to the figures in
section 5.4.1 Port Data Handling (on page 62), section 5.4.2 Conference
Data Handling (on page 63), section 5.5.4 Port Control Signal Handling (on
page 73) and section 5.5.5 Conference Control Signal Handling (on
page 77).
Please note:
Active maintenance functions generate the MFA alarm (maintenance func-
tion active).
Please note:
Only one maintenance functions can be active at the same time on a port or
conference participant.
A supervision circuit of the DTEs send and idle times helps to improve the
network’s availability by preventing the network from remaining blocked as a
result of a defective DTE. This function is mainly used in the point-to-multi-
point and multipoint-to-multipoint applications.
The activity check of a DTE is done by checking the logic content of the
transmit data signal T/103: A “0” means an active state, a “1” means an inac-
tive state.
The send time supervision checks the number of consecutive seconds with
observed activity of the DTE, i.e. each second containing a data bit with a
logic “0” counts as a “send time second”. If the number of “send time sec-
onds” exceeds the configured limit an alarm is activated.
The send time limit can be configured from 1 s to 255 s.
The idle time supervision checks the number of consecutive seconds with no
observed activity of the DTE, i.e. each second containing only data bits with
a logic “1” counts as an “idle time second”. If during the observation period
the number of “idle time seconds” is below the configured limit an alarm is
activated.
The idle time limit can be configured from 1 s to 255 s. The observation
period for the idle time can be configured from 2 s to 65’535 s. The idle time
limit is required to be smaller than the observation period.

When one of the send time or idle time limits is violated the interface can be
taken out of service (refer to section 8.4.3.4 AP: / unit-x / port-y, Configura-
tion - Error Handling (on page 137)). All DTEs connected to this port will be
detached in this case. The DTEs remain detached until the interface is taken
into service again 30 s after the defect clearing or with the corresponding
port status command, refer to section 8.4.6.2 AP: / unit-x / port-y, Status -
Maintenance (on page 149).
7.5 Maintenance
It is possible to read inventory data from the TUDA1 unit via the ECST with
the following access point:
AP: /unit-x, Main - Inventory.
It is possible to update the embedded software (ESW) of the TUDA1 unit via
software download.
Please refer to [355] User Manual “ECST” for the description of the ESW
download.
When upgrading the ESW on 1:1 equipment protected TUDA1 units, care
must be taken concerning the traffic interruptions and which unit will finally
be the active unit. At the end of the upgrade procedure the working unit shall
be the active unit.
It is assumed that the working unit is plugged in slot 7 and the protecting unit
is plugged in slot 18 of the XMC25 subrack.
ESW upgrade procedure 1 The following procedure provides the upgrade process with one traffic inter-
ruption of about 60 s.
ESW upgrade procedure 2 An alternative procedure requires two short interruptions of about 1 s instead
of one long interruption. 1
