Chapter 5 Config Menu Use the CONFIG menus to set the TSU ACE operational configuration, including all of the network interface parameters, the allocation of the DS0s, and the port parameters. This menu includes two branches: NETWORK (NI) and PORT. Figure 5-1 shows the complete menu tree. .
Chapter 5 Config Menu TSU ACE User Manual Table 5-1. Network Interface Submenus Submenu Description FORMAT Sets the frame format for the NI. Choices: D4, ESF, AUTO a CODE Sets the line code for the NI. Choices: AMI, B8ZS YEL ALRM Enables and disables the transmitting of yellow alarms. Choices: ENA (enable), DISA (disable) XMIT ALRM Enables and disables the transmitting of performance report message (PRM) data on the facility data link (FDL).
TSU ACE User Manual Chapter 5 Config Menu Network Timing The network is the source of timing. The received data clocking is looped back to the network where it is used to determine the transmission timing. This option is also referred to as looped timed as the transmission clock is derived from the received clock. See Figure 5-3. Figure 5-3. Network Timed Clock Source DTE Timing The DTE is the source of timing. The TSU ACE uses the incoming DTE clock to determine the transmission timing.
Chapter 5 Config Menu TSU ACE User Manual Internal Timing The TSU ACE is the source of timing. The TSU ACE is configured to use its own internal oscillator as the source of timing. Applications include private line driver circuits where one end is set to network and the other to internal. See Figure 5-5. Figure 5-5. Internal Clock Source PORT MENU Use this menu to select and configure the parameters associated with the V.35 port. RATE 56/64 Sets the base rate of the interface.
TSU ACE User Manual DTE TX CLK Chapter 5 Config Menu Controls the clock used by the TSU ACE to accept the transmit (TX) data from the DTE. Most applications will allow for this to be set to INTERNAL. If the interface cable is long (causing a phase shift in the data) the clock can be selected as INT-INV (Internal/Inverted - the factory default setting). This switches the phase of the clock which should compensate for a long cable.
Chapter 5 Config Menu INBAND TSU ACE User Manual Inband Configuration Channel - Use to enable/disable an 8-kbps remote configuration channel (see Figure 5-6). When this option is set to ON, the first DS0 occupied operates in 56K mode and the DTE clock rate is reduced by 8 kbps. The TSU ACE uses this 8-kbps channel to send and receive configuration data across a T1 span.
Chapter 6 Utility Menu Use the UTILITY branch to view the unit’s software revision, to reinitialize the unit, to set system parameters, and to restore factory default settings (see Figure 6-1). 1) SOFTWARE REV 2) REINIT UNIT UTIL 3) ADDRESS 4) SET PASSCODE 5) KEYPAD 6) FACT RESTORE Figure 6-1. Utility Menu Tree SOFTWARE REV Displays the current software revision level. This information is required when requesting assistance from ADTRAN Customer Service or when updates are needed.
Chapter 6 Utility Menu TSU ACE User Manual Figure 6-2. Address Screen SET PASSCODE The TSU ACE uses passcodes for front panel security and T-Watch PRO access. Use SET PASSCODE to add, change, or delete a passcode. Acceptable codes are 0000 through 9999. Four question marks (????) indicate the keypad is locked. To alter the passcode, highlight PASSCODE and press ENTER. Then use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to change the digits. After changing a digit, press ENTER to move to the next digit.
Chapter 7 Test Menu The TEST submenus initiate different types of unit tests and let you view test results in the LCD window (see Figure 7-1). This menu contains three branches: NETWORK TEST, RUN SELFTEST, and PORT TESTS. Test execution will disrupt some of the unit’s normal operation. See individual menu items concerning tests before executing. NO LOOPBACK 1) LOCAL LOOPBK LINE ON NO LOOPBACK PAYLOAD ON V.
Chapter 7 Test Menu TSU ACE User Manual Local Loopback The three choices available for setting the local loopback include NO LOOPBACK, LINE ON, and PAYLOAD ON. Figure 7-2 shows an illustration of how the tests work. No Loopback Deactivates the loopback. Line On Activates the line loopback which loops all of the received data back toward the network. The transmitted data is the identical line code that was received, including any bipolar violations or framing errors.
TSU ACE User Manual Chapter 7 Test Menu Test Pattern Selects the test pattern and initiates the transmission of the pattern. There are four patterns available (see below). End testing by selecting NO PATTERN. 1:8 ALL DS0s Generates a 1 in 8 pattern in all DS0s. 511 Active DS0s Generates a 511 test pattern and inserts the pattern into currently active channels. All Zeros Generates an all zero's pattern in every channel. All Ones Generates an all one’s pattern in every channel.
Chapter 7 Test Menu TSU ACE User Manual The self-test includes the following board-level tests, in this order: 1. RAM tests; EPROM checksum 2. On-board data path; sending a known test pattern through an on-board loop 3. Front panel LED verification 4. Phase lock loop verification. If a failure is detected, note the failure number and contact ADTRAN Technical Support.
Chapter 8 Circuit Testing Before using the TSU ACE to pass data, ADTRAN recommends running tests on the circuit. Testing consists of sending a test pattern from end-to-end and checking for errors in the pattern. There are two types of tests used to accomplish this: 1. Loop-up the far end and then send a test pattern. 2. Send a test pattern from both ends and check at both ends. FAR END LOOPED BACK TEST TSU ACEs should respond to a loop-up code sent over the T1 circuit.
Chapter 8 Circuit Testing TSU ACE User Manual Ending the Test When you have finished viewing the results, complete the following steps to return the TSU ACE to normal operation: 1. Press CANCEL to return to submenu item TEST PATTERN. 2. Select NO PATTERN to terminate the test and the 511 pattern generation. Result: The far end remains in loopback until the network REMOTE LOOPBK is set to No LOOPBACK under submenu item REMOTE LOOPBK. 50 © 2003 ADTRAN, Inc.
