IDR Block Diagram 3.1 Transmit To Span (Side 1) Incoming T1 signals from the DSX are applied to the Side 1 FROM DSX IN" port, pins 109 and 110 (T&R). These signals are routed to the Side 1 Code Detector circuit. The Side 1 Code Detector monitors the incoming signal for maintenance control codes and a DSX Loss-Of-Signal (LOS). The signal is then transformer-coupled through the Lightning Protection circuit to the span line via the XMT TO SPAN" port, pins 105 and 106 (T1&R1). 3.2 Receive From Span (Side 2) T1 signals appearing on the Side 2 RCV FROM SPAN" port, pins 101 and 102 (T&R), pass through the Lightning Protection circuit. These signals are transformer-coupled to the Extended Range Automatic Line Build-Out (ALBO). The extended range ALBO circuit regenerates signals experiencing from 0 to 35 db of loss. The output of the ALBO is applied to the Side 2 Code Detector circuit. The Side 2 Code Detector circuit monitors the incoming signal for maintenance control codes and a Facility LOS. The Output Driver provides a 3 volt base-to-peak (6 volt peak-to-peak) output signal. The signal is then transformer coupled to the Side 2 TO DSX OUT" port, pins 114 and 115 (T1 & R1). 3.3 Loss-Of-Signal (LOS) Detection The IDR constantly monitors the incoming transmission from the Facility and the DSX for a LOS. The IDR can be optioned by Switch S3 to transmit an unframed all-ones Alarm Indication 3

When the signal is restored, the is no longer transmitted. 3.4 Span Powering Westell s IDR is equipped with an Automatic Span Power Regulator (ASPR) circuit. The IDR automatically provides the required voltage, up to -130 VDC, to power a 60 ma bi-directional span line from the -48 VDC battery supply. The IDR supports spans with up to 2160 Ohms of simplex resistance. Set any/all manual option switches prior to installing the unit. 4 OPTIONS & FEATURES The Westell IDR should be should be optioned prior to installation. The IDR contains two slide switches on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and a push button switch on the front panel that option the unit for proper operation in various applications. Also located on the front panel are four LEDs and two pin jacks. Refer to Figure 2 for the location and a brief description of each option and feature. - PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT - 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 uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. - INSPECTION NOTE - If not previously inspected at the time of delivery, visually inspect the unit for damages prior to installation. If damaged in transit, immediately report the extent of the damage to the transportation company and to Westell (see Part 6 for telephone number). 4.1 S1 - POWER or LOOP Switch Switch S1 is used to enable or disable the ASPR. When set to POWER," the IDR provides span powering for downstream line repeaters, the DS1 Interface Connector (NIU), and when required, the Customer Terminal Equipment (CSU). When set to LOOP," the Span Power Regulator is off (no span power provided), and the simplex leads are looped. The LOOP position is useful in applications where the IDR is not required to power other network elements (e.g., when deployed as a local-powered looping repeater or as a Network Interface Unit). 4.2 S3 - /Off Switch This switch, when set to the position, transmits an Alarm Indication Signal () after detecting a LOS from the span or Network Interface (NI). When in the position, is not transmitted. 4.3 S2 - Manual Loopback Push Button Switch The IDR can be manually looped back toward the DSX by pressing the front-panel MLB push button switch. The IDR will remain in loopback until the MLB switch is reactivated or the appropriate loopdown code is received. Manual loopback does not time out. 4.4 LEDs 4.4.1 LPBK (Loopback) LED The IDR is equipped with a front-panel yellow Loopback (LPBK) LED. When loopback is activated toward the DSX, the LPBK LED lights steady. When loopback is activated toward the Network Interface, the LPBK LED flashes. 4.4.2 PWR (Power) LED - Input Power Indication The IDR is equipped with a green PWR (Power) LED. The PWR LED lights when -48 VDC office battery and battery return ground are present on pins 217 and 218; the internal power supply is functioning properly, and span current is flowing. When Switch S1 is in the LOOP position or if an open power loop exists, the PWR LED will pulse at 1-second intervals. When the IDR is placed in the remote, Temporary Power Down mode, the PWR LED flashes. If the PWR LED is not lit, -48 VDC is absent. 4.4.3 ARM (Arming) LED The IDR is equipped with a yellow ARM (Arming) LED which lights after the IDR has received the 11000 code for 5 seconds or longer. The IDR can operate on command codes when it is in the armed state. 4.4.4 (Alarm) LED and Input Power Fuse The IDR is equipped with a built-in, non-field-replaceable ¾-Amp fuse. The (Fuse Alarm) LED lights when the fuse opens and when the IDR is in open power loop mode. 4.5 Pin Jacks - Span Current and Voltage The IDR is equipped with 2 pin-type test jacks that are used for monitoring span current and span voltage. Span current is measured as a voltage across the -I and -V jacks. The voltage measured across the pin jacks should be between.57 and.63 VDC which equates to a span current of 57 to 63 ma. The span current should be balanced within 2%. Span voltage is measured by inserting one probe of the volt meter into the -V pin jack and referencing the second probe to ground. The span voltage measured should be consistent with the calculated span voltage. 5. INSTALLATION The IDR mounts in an AT&T DDM+ (High Density) T1 mounting assembly or shelf, or equivalent, at a fiber hub location or at the customer premises. See Table 1 for pin-outs. 4

Table 1. Installer Connections, Pin Assignments 6. REMOTE MAINTENANCE OPERATION Refer to Table 2, IDR Loopback Activation and Maintenance Control Codes), and the following paragraphs for a description of the remote maintenance capabilities of the IDR. All codes are transmitted LEFT-most-bit first with the exception of the ESF Data Link codes which are transmitted RIGHT-mostbit first. 6.1 Arming The Span Line The tester must first arm the span line before an IDR can be remotely accessed for maintenance testing. 6.1.1 Arming from the DSX Inband code: = 11000 > 5 sec. ESF Data Link code = 0001 0010 1111 1111 > 16 ms The IDR is armed from the DSX by sending the Inband Arming code 11000 (framed or unframed) for greater than five seconds or the 16-bit ESF Data Link Arming code 0001 0010 1111 1111 for greater than four repetitions (or 16 ms.). 6.1.2 Arming From The Network Interface (NI) ARM code = 11000 > 5 seconds The IDR is armed from the NI by sending the Inband Arming code 11000 (framed or unframed) for greater than five seconds. Upon receiving the Arming code, the IDR s front-panel ARM LED lights. The IDR remains armed for 30 minutes unless the All Loopdown and Disarm code is received. The IDR allows the arming code to be sent through the unit towards the far-end NIU. Blocking of the arming code can be enabled. The arming state and loopback both time out after 30 minutes. 6.1.3 Arming Code Blocking Toggle Activate from: NI - Span Line Armed Activate code: 1100 0101 0110 1010 > 5 sec. Once the IDR has been armed, sending the Arm Blocking Toggle Code (C56A Hex) from the CPE or the DSX enables or disables the blocking of the Arming code. The IDR is shipped with the Arming code blocking function disabled. When the function is enabled and the IHR receives Arming code for three seconds from the Network Interface side, the IHR sends an unframed all-ones Alarm Indication Signal () to the DSX to block the arming code from disrupting other network elements in the path. 6.2 Loopback Loopback allows the tester to rapidly sectionalize a problem in the span line by looping back test signals at various repeater locations. Loopback can be activated from either the DSX or from the Network Interface. When loopback is activated from the DSX, the IDR provides a Metallic loopback. When loopback is activated from the Network Interface, the IDR provides a Logic Loopback. 6.2.1 Metallic Loopback (MLB) Metallic Loopback (MLB) is activated and monitored from a test location on the DSX-side of the IDR. The metallic loopback point is on the span side of the IDR. Metallic loopback allows testing of all components, including the Span side transformers and lightning protection circuitry. 6.2.2 Logic Loopback Logic Loopback (LLB) is activated and monitored by a field technician at the Network Interface. Logic Loopback is an electronic loopback located before the output transformers and lightning protection. The span line remains powered during loopback. 6.2.3 Loopback Activation Activated from: DSX or NI - IDR Armed Activation code: 1101 0011 1101 0011 > 10sec. To activate the IDR loopback, transmit the 16-bit loopback activate code 1101 0011 1101 0011 for greater than 10 seconds while the IDR is armed. Loopback will automatically time-out in 30 minutes. 6.2.4 Loopback Indication Signal (LIS) The IDR transmits an unframed, all-ones Loopback Indication Signal (LIS) toward the Network Interface after loopback has been activated from the DSX. When Loopback is activated from the Network Interface location, LIS is sent toward the DSX. 5

Repeaters and NIU in loopback loopdown (loopback deactivates) and disarm after receiving the Inband or ESF Data Link All Loopback Deactivate & Disarm code from the DSX side. *Bit errors are repeated every 20 seconds until the code is removed. All codes transmitted LEFT-most-bit first except ESF Data Link codes which are transmitted RIGHT-most-bit first. Table 2. Remote Maintenance and Provisioning Control Codes and Queries 6.2.5 Loopback Acknowledgment (DSX or NI) Loopback Acknowledgment is the method used by the IDR to verify that the unit has entered loopback or has successfully completed any of the other remotely-accessible features. During loopback activation, the IDR sends/performs the following Loopback Acknowledgment, toward the direction loopback is activated: after receiving loopback activate code for 3 seconds, the IDR returns 2 seconds of (Alarm Indication Signal), IDR then enters loopback and returns 5 seconds of unerrored Loopback Activate code, IDR then injects 231 bit errors into the looped-back T1 transmission, IDR then returns Loopback Activate code, until the code is removed. 6.3 Queries 6.3.1 Loopback Query Activated from: DSX or NI Activation code: 1101 0101 1101 0101> 20 sec. Loopback Query allows the tester to determine which Intelligent repeater (if any) is in loopback. The T1 span can be queried from the DSX or from the Network Interface. The side requesting the query sends the 16-bit Loopback Query code 1101 0101 1101 0101 (D5D5 Hex) for greater than 20 seconds. Upon detecting the query code, one of the following responses is returned: no pattern sync - indicates no loopback exists continuous pattern sync - indicates the NIU has looped back or there is an existing loopback. pattern sync and 10, 20, 30...200 bit errors - indicates address of an Intelligent Line Repeater in Logic Loopback A response of 15,25,35...205 bit errors indicates the address of an Intelligent Line Repeater in Metallic Loopback. 6

030-101673 Rev. A Section IDR-918-6SB-201 A response of 231 bit errors indicates an Office Repeater in loopback 6.3.2 Open Power Loop Query Activated from: DSX - Span Line armed Activation code: 0101 1011 0101 1011> 10 sec. The tester can query the span line to determine if an open power loop exists and where it is located. An armed IDR in the Open Power Loop mode will enter loopback after receiving the 16-bit Power Loop Query code 0101 1011 0101 1011 (5B5B Hex) for greater than 5 seconds. The IDR, upon entering loopback, will transmit its Loopback Acknowledgment bit-errors, identifying the location of the power loop. 6.4 Power Down Activated from: DSX - IDR armed or loopback activated Activation code: 0110 0111 0110 0111> 5 sec. An armed IDR can be remotely commanded from the DSX to disable the span power. This is accomplished by sending the Power Down code 0110 0111 0110 0111 for greater than 5 seconds while the IDR is armed or in loopback. The PWR LED flashes. Power to the span line remains disabled until the Power Down code is removed. Five seconds after the code is removed, span power is restored, and the IDR disarms and goes idle. 6.5 Loopback Deactivate Activated from: DSX or NI Activation code: 1001 0011 1001 0011 > 5 sec. Loopback can be deactivated before the 30-minute time-out by sending the 16-bit loopback deactivate (IDR LPDN) code 1001 0011 1001 0011 (9393 Hex) for greater than 5 seconds. The repeater(s) remain armed. Each time the repeater returns to the armed state, the 30-minute arming timer resets. The tester can either activate another repeater for testing or can re-activate the same repeater if further testing is not required. 6.6 All Loopback Deactivate & Disarm from DSX Inband code = 11100 > 5 sec. ESF DL code = 0010 0100 1111 1111 > 16 ms Sending the Inband All LPDN and DISARM code 11100 for greater than 5 seconds or the 16-bit ESF Data Link All Loopdown and Disarm code 0010 0100 1111 1111 for greater than 4 repetitions from the DSX deactivates all loopbacks, including the NIU, disarms the span line, and returns the circuit to normal. 6.7 All Loopback Deactivate & Disarm from the NI Inband code = 11100 > 5 sec. Sending the Inband All LPDN and DISARM code 11100 for greater than 5 seconds from the NI deactivates the repeater loopback, disarms the span line, and returns the circuit to normal. 7.
