1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 Description
Loop-E 1510 provides E1 network interface, DS0 channel multiplexing, and direct connections to data, and video DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). This manual applies only to the Stand-Alone model. Loop-E 1510 also supports framed/unframed E1-to-Ethernet Bridge, provides an economic solution to E1 network access. The E1-to-Ethernet Bridge supports fractional or clear channel E1 WAN port with HDB3 (High Density Bipolar 3) coding and continuous error checking, and single 10/100 Ethernet LAN port with bridging function. Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU can be configured via the DIP switches.

1.2 Applications
The Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU application example is illustrated in Figure 1-2. Via DACS (Digital Access CrossConnect System), the Loop-E interfaces various applications such as LAN (Local Area Network) to WAN (Wide Area Network) communications, Host to workstation communications, video conferencing and data communication of PBXs (Private Branch Exchanges). This allows the user to integrate different application into a single communication link and utilizing only part of the available bandwidth. Furthermore, this allows the user to expand bandwidth, up to 31 DS0 channels, on demand without additional physical links because they are already available. Data and video applications may include equipment such as video conferencing, bridge, router, gateway, workstation, host computer, and various high-speed data terminal equipment. Figure 1-3 to Figure 1-5 illustrates some of these applications.

2. INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Never touch un-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

2.1 Site Selection

The following are guidelines for site selection. These guidelines must be followed to ensure a proper installation site. The installation site should have an AC power receptacle. The following are the maximum suggested cable lengths: V.35 X.21 60m 60m (200 ft) (200 ft)

NOTE: If longer distance is desirable, a lower than maximum speed with proper cabling and grounding is advisable. For more information, please contact Loop Service Representative. The installation site should provide space for adequate ventilation and cable routing. Reserve at least 12 cm (5 inches) at the rear of the unit for cables and air flow. The site should provide a stable environment. The operating area should be clean and free from extremes of temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration. Relatively humidity should stay between 0 and 95%. Do not operate the unit at an altitude greater than 3000 meters (10,000 feet).

3. OPERATION
This chapter describes the Loop-E 1510 CSU/DSU configuration options and operational functions.

3.1 DTE Configuration

3.1.1 CRC (Cycle Redundancy Check)

Loop-E can be used in two frame or multiframe mode. For two frame mode, set CRC (Cycle Redundancy Check) to OFF. For multiframe mode, set CRC to ON. A proprietary facility data link is implemented in both modes to facilitate remote system control and performance and statistics monitoring.

3.1.2 TTM (Terminal Timing Mode)

In the normal condition, Loop-E uses Transmit Clock to sample DTE Transmit Data, which is transmitted from DTE facility. In terminal timing mode, DTE facility uses Transmit Clock to drive Transmit Data and loop this clock to Loop-E via External Clock. In this mode, Loop-E will use External Clock to sample Transmit Data instead of using Transmit Clock. This method is to avoid phase delay due to cable length. In other words, if the DTE cable is too long, the transmit data may not in-phase with the Transmit Clock. With this feature, the External Clock and Transmit Data will be in-phase.

3.1.3 Clock Invert

The clock polarity of the DTE port is either normal or inverted. It is used to drive transmit data and to sample receive data.

4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 Self-Test
At system power up, a complete self-test routine is run to check all I/O ports, read/write memory, and data paths to validate system integrity. During the system self test, all LEDs are flashing until the initializatiohn is done. When self-test is done, all LEDs are off.

4.2 Diagnostics 4.2.1 Line Loopback

Line loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The incoming E1 line signal is loopback to the outgoing E1 signal before the E1 transceiver framer. This loopback is used to isolate the local equipment from a troubled E1 transmission line. Line loopback test can be activated from the front panel and terminal.

4.2.2 DTE to DTE Loopback

DTE to DTE port loopback is illustrated in the following figure. TO-DTE is when DTE incoming signal is loopback to the DTE outgoing signal. This loopback is used to validate the unit integrity of DTE facility.

4.3 Verifying Loop-E Operations

The purpose of this section is not to help the user determine where a possible fault in the network may lie. For this, the user needs to know the exact geometry of the network. Then standard network trouble shooting procedures should be followed, which involve sectionalizing the network and performing loopback tests on pieces of the network. The purpose here is to help the user determine whether the Loop-E equipment is at fault after tests have pointed a suspicious finger at this equipment. The procedures outlined here depends on test equipment and other equipment the user may have on hand. The organization of these procedures start from the simple to the complex. The procedure ends when a definitive conclusion is made that the Loop-E equipment is at fault. To verify that the Loop-E equipment is not at fault, specialized equipment such as a BERT (bit error rate test) set is needed.

4.3.1 Quick Test

See if the LEDs show any abnormal displays. If yes, use the LED indications to guide the user to test other parts of the network, such as the E1 line, or DTE equipment. Especially during initial installation, excessive errors may be due to (a) incorrect configuration of either LoopE or of the equipment at the other end of the line, or (b) due to faulty line installation, which results in

Chapter 4 Maintenance excessive noise, cross talk, or impedance mismatch. Especially in electrically noisy environments, such as central offices, use of shielded cables are mandatory.

4.3.2 Substitution
If a spare Loop-E is available, then replace the working one with the spare. The user must carefully configure the spare exactly as the working one. If the substitution clears the problem, then the original working one is suspect. Note that this is not definitive as other reasons may cause the same symptom. A good practice is to reconfigure the original one and swap once more. If both units behave the same, then the problem is probably elsewhere.

4.3.3 Using Loopback Plugs

Without a spare, loopback plugs are handy for diagnosis. Note that internal loopback facilities of the Loop-E does not include the interface circuitry. Thus a set of plugs, one for each of the interfaces, line and DTE, are needed for complete tests. These plugs are wired such that signals from the Loop-E are loopback by hard wire back to the receive pin of the same plug. Replace the line connector with a loopback plug. Observe if the line is in sync. If not then Loop-E has failed. Then perform a PRBS test towards the line. If this fails, then Loop-E has failed. For the DTE ports, a loopback plug must be used in concert with a far end Loop-E if such a terminal is available, then a PRBS test will determine if that DTE port is at fault. Note that if a far end terminal is available, the first test should be a local line loopback to see if the line is good. If the local DTE has diagnostic capabilities, then a loopback plug towards the DTE would help determine if the line to the DTE is good. This can further help isolate the problem. If tests with loopback plugs all pass, then the problem is probably elsewhere.

4.3.4 Using Bert Test Set

If a BERT (bit error rate test) set is a available, such as the Fireberd 6000, then a comprehensive suite of test are available to examine the health of the Loop-E. With a BERT, each of the ports of the Loop-E can be tested individually. The user must configure the BERT in the exact way the Loop-E is configured. This is easily done by comparing each of the options one by one. After checking that the configuration matches, if any one of the ports fails, then Loop-E has failed.
