1.1

Construction and transmission management The multiplex equipment are plug-in units constructed on a EURO-2 size circuit board. The plug-in units are installed into equipment car tridges conforming either to the TM4 or the TM4-EMC Construction Practice (see the corresponding operating handbooks). Equipment operation is controlled using the Service Terminal via the ser vice interface on the equipment's front edge. Through this interface, equipment state and alarm data are read, controls and settings are given, loop-backs are ordered, etc. Communications in the service interface are serial formatted. (See the Operating Handbook for the Service Ter minal and the separate description for each equipment on its Operation with Service Terminal.) The equipment can also be controlled by the TMS Transmission Manage ment System (see the Operating Handbook for the TMS Transmission Management System).

The service interfaces can be connected into a bus at the equipment sta tion, and buses of the different stations can be further connected into a service network by means of the data channel in the equipment. All equipment connected to the bus or network can then be remote-con trolled from one point using the Service Terminal or the Transmission Management System (see the corresponding handbooks).

2.2

Interfaces In the multiplex equipment, the user is connected only to the connectors located on the front edge of the unit. The unit's back connector is in tended for connecting the equipment power supply and rack alarms through the motherboard of the equipment cartridge. All multiplex equipment connectors are male connectors. The location of the signals at the connectors is shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7. Cabling of the equipment is shown in more detail in the Installation part of this handbook and in the operating handbooks for the TM4 and the TM4-EMC Construction Practices.

Service connector (Euroconnector P1) MI Service Interface Service interface for the Service Terminal or Trans mission Management Computer. Via this interface, settings and controls are given to the equipment, and statuses, fault data, and statistics are read. Bi directional. Differential levels as per CCITT V.11 (EIA RS-422). If the data hybrid is not in use, the interface is active only when the equipment transmits the signal out. At other times, the output is at a high- impedance state, so the interface can be connected to a bus to gether with other corresponding interfaces, where upon several sets of equipment can be controlled from one point. _______________________________________________ DI Data Interface Data interface for transferring asynchronous seri al-formatted data as a separate channel along with the frame structure. Can be used for transferring the desired bit data in general, or can be externally wired specifically for transmission management communications. Bidirectional. Differential levels as per CCITT V.11 (EIA RS-422). Unlike the interface MI, the data interface DI is al ways active; it is not intended to be a bus.

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Functional Description 2.10.1990

DM 8, 34, 140 II/1 Page 15

The interface DI can be connected to the interface MI by using the internal data hybrid of the equip ment. _______________________________________________ PA1 and PA2 Programmable Alarm outputs Programmable equipment alarm outputs. The ex act operation of the signals in case of different alarm combinations can be set using the Service Terminal. PA1 is also always activated if a power supply fault arises in the equipment. The user adapts these signals for his own purposes, for example, connecting them to his own fault moni toring system. _______________________________________________ PIN Programmable Input Programmable input interface. Activated by grounding. Opens the data hybrid. Also used when bypassing password functions, for example, if the password is forgotten.

Main system interfaces and measurement points (SMB coaxial connectors J2...J4 in DM 8, J2...J5 in DM 34 and DM 140) MR Main system Receive signal Main system incoming interface signal. In multiplex equipment DM 8 and DM 34, the cable sheath of incoming signal MR can be grounded or left ungrounded when cabling. The corresponding strapping must also be done for the equipment. Grounding connects the sheath to the equipment ground directly. If required, capacitive grounding can be performed by using a U-jumper provided with a capacitor for the strapping.

Power supply and rack alarm interfaces (back connector PB1) A Alarm interface Rack alarm interface via which alarms caused by the multiplex equipment are transmitted to the rack. Based on fault conditions and settings, the equipment generates data on whether the alarm is prompt (A), deferred (B), or if it is a matter of alarm cancellation (D). _______________________________________________ P Power interface Power supply interface via which the multiplex equipment obtains the central battery voltages (-20...-72 V DC) and the external auxiliary volt age (+5 V).

2.3

Operation in transmit direction In the transmit direction (interface T), the HDB3-coded tributary sig nals coming from the line are regenerated and converted first from bipo lar format into two TTL-level signals and then into binary format in the tributary interface repeater (IT block). Justification of the bit rate difference between the tributaries is done in the buffers (BT blocks). In the multiplexer (MUX block), the signals coming from the buffers are multiplexed into one main system signal to which the extra bits required by the frame structure are inserted and which is converted in the main sys tem interface repeater (IM block) to a line code more advantageous for transfer (interface MT).

2.4

Operation in receive direction In the receive direction, the main system signal coming from the line (in terface MR) is regenerated, divided into two TTL-level signals, and de coded in the interface repeater (IM block).

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Functional Description 2.10.1990

DM 8, 34, 140 II/1 Page 19

The main system clock signal for the demultiplexer is generated from the incoming signal. The demultiplexer (DEMUX block) is synchronized to the incoming signal frame and it demultiplexes, dividing the data to the tributaries. The buffers (BT blocks) provide a binary signal at its average frequency to the interface repeater (IT block) which performs HDB3- coding and generates a bipolar signal for transmission on the line (interface T). 2.5 Data and service connection bits of the frame structure For time-division multiplexing of the digital tributary signals, a frame is needed in which the bit rate of the multiplexed signal is a little over four times higher than the nominal bit rate of the input signals (CCITT Rec ommendations G.742 and G.751). In second order (DM 8) and third order (DM 34) digital multiplex equip ment, bit 12 of the frame bits, and bit 14 in the fourth order (DM 140) mul tiplex equipment, is reserved for national use. In this multiplex equip ment, bits 12 and 14 are used for generating a data channel. 2.6 Data hybrid There is a summing connection (a data hybrid) in the CONTROL block that connects the signals coming from the service interface MI, data inter face DI, data channel DCH, or processor CPU to all other interfaces con cerned. The signal coming from the data channel is cut off if the received main system signal is missing, frame alignment is lost, or equipment loop-back of the main system is done. In that case the data channel's possible unde fined state will not interfere with the use of the service interface. However, in some fault conditions a disturbing signal may come from the data channel, so that a connection to the equipment cannot be established via the service interface. Then the data hybrid can be opened by connect ing the pin PIN to ground. After grounding the PIN, the data hybrid is open for the time selected by the setting Control timeout. When the data hybrid is active, the MI output is continuously in an active state and the interface cannot be connected to a bus.

Alarms In fault or control conditions, the multiplex equipment indicates a fault or a control by the red or yellow service LED on the front edge produces the rack alarms A, B, or D via the rack alarm interface generates data on the fault or the control, its character, and the ser vice condition of the system (alarm S) for the service interface when required, transmits a far-end alarm.

Exact data on the equipment state and on possible faults are obtained via the service interface using the Service Terminal or Transmission Manage ment Computer. With these, programmable alarm outputs PA1 and PA2 can also be set as active when required, and the behaviour of the equip ment in alarm conditions can be controlled (footnotes 1, 2, and 3 of Table 3).

If the equipment operating voltages are cut off (power supply fault), the external auxiliary voltage that is connected to the equipment activates the red service LED, red rack alarm lamp, and programmable alarm output PA1. Programmable alarm outputs The equipment's programmable alarm outputs PA1 and PA2 can be con nected in the desired way, for example, to the user's own fault monitoring system. In addition, the output PA1 can be used, for example, for control ling the changeover equipment in protected systems. 2.8 Loop-backs Loop-backs of the equipment are carried out in the interface repeater blocks IM and IT. Loop-backs are used for troubleshooting, and they are ordered into effect via the service interface using the Service Terminal or Transmission Management Computer. So that loop-backs would not accidentally stay in effect, they are auto matically cancelled after the time defined by the setting Control timeout. Loop-back to interface A tributary signal coming from outside the unit is connected back via the repeater as the outgoing signal. This function can be used, for example, for examining the signal cabling or line section.

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Functional Description 2.10.1990

DM 8, 34, 140 II/1 Page 23

A signal to be looped is connected within the unit's interface block to se lector SEL1 on the other transmission direction side. SEL1 selects the sig nal to be transmitted out from the equipment - a normal or a looped sig nal. Instead of the received tributary signal, the AIS is connected into the time slots. Main system interface loop-back is in principle similar to tributary loop-back. The AIS is connected to all tributaries as the signal to be transmitted.

Loop-back to interface in tributaries

Loop-back to equipment The tributary signal going out of the equipment is connected back to the equipment as close to the interface as possible. During this loopback, the AIS is transmitted from the actual interface. In this way, an individual tributary signal that is sent from the other end of the connection can be measured from the standpoint of the whole connec tion, or all tributaries can be simultaneously looped downwards in the hierarchy. In the DM 140, a signal coming via equipment loop-back of a tributary is not connected to the receiver of the test signal. Equipment loop-back can be used for examining the equipment, signal cabling, or the line section.

Transmission and reception of a test signal The function of transmission and reception of a test signal is used for checking the condition of the internal signal paths of the multiplex equip ment. A test generator and test receiver are in the interface repeater blocks of the tributaries. With commands from the Service Terminal (or Transmis sion Management Computer), a test signal can be selected to be trans mitted into the time slots in place of the normal incoming tributary signal. The test receiver monitors the received tributary signal and is able to rec ognize the faultless test signal. Using the Service Terminal, the receiver can be asked if it has identified the test signal. In the DM 8 and DM 34, an automatic signal path test can be carried out in which the test signal is transmitted towards the main system direction and looped back. In the tributaries, the signal is looped onwards, where upon it reaches the test receiver. The test can be ordered using the Service Terminal, and the faulty tributary number is obtained as the response (or the message OK if the signal is propagating error-free). In the corresponding test in the DM 140, the loop-backs must be cabled outside the equipment. The numbers of those tributaries whose test re ceiver has indicated a faultless test signal are obtained as the test re sponse.

Signal quality and compilation of statistics The DM 8, DM 34, and DM 140 multiplex equipment monitors the quali ty of the incoming main system signal in the manner defined by CCITT Recommendation G.821. The equipment measures errors only from the frame alignment word, but this measurement mode gives a good enough indication on the quality of the entire signal. The equipment is able to tell how many periods belonging to different classifications (severely errored seconds, errored seconds, and degraded minutes) have appeared in the signal, and what is the allocation of these periods with regard to its operational time. The data are readable via the service interface using the Service Terminal. The CCITT recommendation presents the maximum values for the dif ferent classifications at given reference connections. These reference connections are divided into three grades: high grade, chiefly meaning international long connections local grade, meaning connections within a country (local) medium grade, which is in-between the two above grades.

The total amount of erroneous periods allowed is divided among these grades as follows: high grade medium grade local grade 40 % 15 % (both ends) 15 % (both ends)

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Functional Description 2.10.1990

DM 8, 34, 140 II/1 Page 26

Furthermore, the maximum amounts of erroneous periods from the available time on the entire connection are: degraded minutes errored seconds severely errored seconds 10 % 8% 0.1 %

Because the reference connection is very long compared to practical transmission connections, medium grade and local grade can be consid ered as divided into 50 km sections. The amounts of erroneous periods measured from these sections are 2...5 % of the entire maximum allowed, depending on the quality level desired (refer to CCITT Com XVIII Con tribution 30, April 1985). A proposal on the quality targets for a digital connection is in the accom panying table. The proposal is calculated from the aforementioned CCITT recommendations. In calculating errored seconds, generally the transmission rate in relation to the 64 kbit/s bit rate must be taken into account, since the maximum amounts of erroneous periods deal with this rate. In the case of the DM 8, DM 34, and DM 140 multiplex equipment, this has already been taken into account when calculating the statistics. The amount allowed for unavailable time is not given because it depends on the objectives set for equipment reliability.

Besides the multiplex equipment compiling statistics on the signal quali ty, signal quality can naturally also be monitored using separate measure ment devices, for example, by selecting the desired signal at a measure ment point on the equipment's front edge and by measuring with an error meter.

TRANSMISSION MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS OF THE EQUIPMENT Transmission management of the equipment includes e.g. controls, set tings, testings, and measurements. Transmission management functions are carried out either locally using the Service Terminal or remotely using the Service Terminal or the TMS Transmission Management System (see the corresponding operating handbooks). The functions are menu-based and the menus have 1...4 levels. The me nus, their use, and all possible responses are presented in detail in the de scriptions DM 8/DM 34/DM 140 Operation with Service Terminal which are appended to this handbook.

Controls, temporary (5) Controls are functions required in troubleshooting and servicing of the equipment (loop-backs etc.). All controls are automatically removed af ter a set monitoring time, except for the Measurement connector signal selection Loop-back to interface Possible in the main system and the tributaries. A signal fed to the inter face exits the same interface. Loop-back to equipment Possible in the main system and the tributaries. A signal coming from within the equipment is connected back. The AIS is transmitted out from the interface. Test signal to composite signal Only in the tributaries. A test signal is transmitted into the time slots to wards the main system direction. Measurement connector signal selection Selection of the signal desired to be measured at the main system mea surement connector MPM or tributary measurement connector MPT (in DM 8 at connector MEAS from which both the main system and tributary signals are measured). Measurable at the DM 8 measurement connector MEAS: input and output signals of the main system and the tributaries main system oscillator frequency AIS oscillator frequency.

Settings, permanent (6) With settings, the equipment is permanently controlled to certain operat ing modes. Settings nearly entirely replace the strappings used in the pre vious D-equipment generation. The settings are stored in the equipment's non-volatile memory and are kept there even during electrical outages. If the equipment is damaged, for example, and replaced by new equipment, the settings of the new equipment must be checked. Service options The following are set by the Service options: speed of the traffic between the equipment and the Service Terminal or Transmission Management Computer address which is needed when several sets of equipment are con nected to the service bus or network for controlling from one point functions of rack alarms that are caused by the equipment (normal/ alarms inhibited/A replaced by B) rack alarm delay functions of programmable alarm outputs PA1 and PA2 that are used for the user's own purposes timeout for controls connection between service interface MI and data interface DI (data hybrid config.) set ON or OFF

Use of tributaries Each tributary is separately set to either an in-use or a out-of-use state. Tributaries that are out of use transmit the AIS both out from the interface and in the time slots. Consequences of excess error rate and far-end alarms If the error rate of the signal exceeds the set limit E-3 or E-4, the equip ment can give: alarm A alarm B no alarm A, S, far-end alarm and AIS to tributaries

When the equipment has received a far-end alarm, it can give: A+S alarm B+S alarm S alarm

Alarm S indicates that the main service of the system is missing. Error rate threshold Limit above which an error rate alarm is obtained. E-3 or E-4 can be set as the limit. Calibration of voltage measurement Calibration parameter associated with the voltage measurements which the user need not change from the factory setting. Default settings The settings are returned to their default values, i.e. the factory settings. Does not affect the settings Baud rate, Address, or Calibration of voltage measurement.

Measurements (7) The equipment measures its own internal operating voltages (DM 8, DM 34: +5 V, -5 V, DM 140: +5.1 V, -4.5 V) and the results are readable via the service interface.

3.6

Statistics (8) Signal quality The equipment compiles statistics on availability according to CCITT Recommendation G.821 by examining errors that occur in the frame alignment word. The equipment classifies the periods in which errors ap pear into: severely errored seconds S(sev), BER > E-3 degraded minutes M(degr), BER > E-6 errored seconds S(err).

In addition, the equipment calculates the following parameters of avail ability (the portion of the total time or available time in the above-men tioned classifications): unavailable time S(unav)/total time S(tot) degraded minutes M(degr)/available time M(ava) severely errored seconds S(sev)/available time S(ava) errored seconds S(err)/available time S(ava).

The equipment classifies over 10-second periods during which the equipment has a severe fault as unavailable time (BER > E-3, the signal is missing, frame alignment is lost, etc.). Error counters The error counters indicate the number of equipment processor reset tings, errors in the frame alignment word, and losses of frame alignment.

3.7

Testing (9) Self-tests done by the equipment. Signal path test An automatic test which is available in the DM 8 and DM 34. The equip ment connects a test signal from all tributaries into the time slots and all interfaces into an equipment loop. The test signal is returned to the detec tors and the local processor indicates those tributary numbers in which the test signal is received as erroneous. Display of tributary test detectors Used if a signal path test is desired to be done for the DM 140 or if loopbacks are desired to be done elsewhere than inside the equipment. The local processor indicates those tributary numbers whose test receiver has revealed an error-free test signal. Memory display For checking the contents of the storage locations. Memory tests The equipment tests the condition of its EPROM, RAM, and EEPROM memories.

INTRODUCTION The multiplex equipment DM 8, DM 34 and DM 140 is installed into car tridges of the TM4 or the TM4-EMC Construction Practice. The con nection of central battery voltages and rack alarms to the cartridges as well as the signal cable routing, groundings, and installation planning and work order are described in the operating handbooks for the construction practices. The equipment is ready to operate after its installation into a cartridge and the connection of signal cables. Before installation, the equipment strappings should, however, always be checked as well as the possible changes required be made. The instructions for installation of the equipment into cartridges, cabling of signal interfaces, and strappings are given below. NOTE! Wrist grounding or corresponding protection should always be used when handling a plug-in unit removed from its pack age.

2 2.1

MOUNTING OF EQUIPMENT INTO CARTRIDGES Power supply and rack alarm interfaces When the equipment is inserted into the cartridge, the central battery voltages and rack alarms are connected through the motherboard of the cartridge and the back connector PB1 of the equipment. At the same time the equipment is also grounded to the cartridge body.

Equipping The connectors of the cartridge motherboards and the back connectors of the equipment are standardized so that the voltages and rack alarm sig nals conveyed by them are always located in the same places in the con nectors (see Figure 1). Due to this, no unit slot in the cartridge is reserved for a particular set of equipment. The cartridges can be freely equipped using any combination of multiplex equipment, or other equipment of Nokia ND equipment generation can be installed in the same cartridge together with multiplex equipment. The Multiplex Equipment DM 8 and DM 34 takes one unit slot (5 T) in a cartridge and the DM 140 takes two unit slots (10 T).

SIGNAL INTERFACES AND THEIR CABLING The main system and tributary interfaces and the service and data inter faces of the multiplex equipment are cabled via front connectors. The locations of the interfaces are shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5 as well as in the instruction stickers which are delivered with the equipment and which are to be affixed on the inside of the cartridge cover. Only a temporary connection is made to the measurement points on the equipment's front edge when service and testing functions are carried out.

3.1

Connectors and cables The multiplex equipment connectors are male connectors: SMB coaxial connectors and Euroconnectors. Recommendations regarding suitable cables and connectors for symmet rical and coaxial cabling as well as work instructions for the recom mended cables are found in the operating handbooks for the TM4 and the TM4-EMC Construction Practice.

3.2

Main system interfaces The main system interfaces are cabled to the coaxial connectors J2 and J3 (see Figures 3, 4, and 5). NOTE! The grounding of the incoming interface is also set with strap pings (see chapter 4.2 Strapping alternatives).

Strapping example In the Multiplex Equipment DM 8 TC 21300 the main system interface strapping MRGND affects the grounding of the incoming main system signal cable. The marking card (Figure 7) shows that the strapping MRGND is located up on the PCB front edge and that the factory strapping is the alternative a", i.e. the cable sheath is grounded. If one wishes to leave the cable sheath ungrounded, the U-jumper is de tached from pin row NR1 and the alternative b" is recorded on the mark ing card as the current strapping.

INTRODUCTION The operation of the Multiplex Equipment DM 8, DM 34 and DM 140 is controlled via the service interface MI using the Service Terminal. Through this interface, equipment state and alarm data are read, controls and settings are given, loop-backs are ordered, etc. If the service interfaces have been connected into a bus and the buses have been further connected into a service network by means of a data channel, all equipment connected to the bus or network can be remotecontrolled from one point using the Service Terminal or the Transmission Management System TMS (see the corresponding operating hand books). Enclosed to this handbook are separate descriptions DM 8/ DM 34/ DM 140 Operation with Service Terminal. The service menus obtained from the equipment and their use are described in these descriptions. For the Service Terminal there is a separate Operating Handbook.

COMMISSIONING The equipment is ready to operate after its installation into a cartridge and the connection of signal cables. Before commissioning, however, the software settings should be checked, the clock frequencies should be measured, if required, and the statistics and error counters must be reset.

2.1

Software settings In connection with the commissioning, the equipment name and the fol lowing permanent settings shall be checked and the required changes be made. The number of the service menu through which the change is made and the factory setting are given in parentheses. Identifications Equipment name (4,7,2/DMxxAB) Used, when necessary, in network management to identify a set of equip ment, in addition to the address. The name is also visible when Fault dis play is used. The name may be, for example, the equipment type and some abbreviation related to the route (together max. 15 characters).

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Operation 10.10.1989

DM 8, 34, 140 II/3 Page 57

Settings Baud rate (6,1,1/9600 bit/s) In case the equipment is not in a bus, a service interface MI speed as high as possible (9600) should be used. When the equipment is in a bus, the speed is set to correspond to the one used in the bus. Address (6,1,2/4095) Each equipment in the bus shall have its own address by means of which it can be accessed separately. Equipment which is not in the bus does not need an address; the connection can be established using the address 4095 common to all equipment. Rack alarm functions (6,1,3/normal) If it is desired that rack alarms are not given normally, e.g. during commis sioning, the alarms can be set to be inhibited or urgent alarms A can be replaced by less urgent alarms B. Rack alarm delay (6,1,4/1 s) If it is desired that short, occasional alarms are filtered, i.e. prevent them from causing a rack alarm A, a time > 0 is set here. However, even then continual short alarms will cause a rack alarm. Programmable alarm outputs PA1 and PA2 functions (6,1,5 PA1/alarm A activates; 6,1,6 PA2/alarm B activates) The desired alarm condition is selected by this setting to activate the out puts PA1 and PA2. From them, alarm data can be collected with some fault monitoring system. The output PA1 can also be used e.g. to control a change-over equipment in protected systems. Control timeout (6,1,7/10 min) A time is selected during which the controls remain active. Normally the time can be short (< 10 min) but if one wishes to keep a certain control (e.g. loop-back in connection with testing) active for a longer period, the timeout can be set to be greater. The control Measurement connector sig nal selection is not affected. Data hybrid configuration (6,1,8/set OFF) The use of the data hybrid depends on the structure of the service net work.

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Operation 10.10.1989

DM 8, 34, 140 II/3 Page 58

Use of tributaries (6,2/all in use) Those tributaries that will not carry traffic are set out of use. Consequences of excess error rate (6,3,1/no alarm) and far-end alarm (6,3,2/S alarm) If one wishes to obtain an alarm of the excess error rate of the signal, the desired alarm consequence is set (A, B or A, S, far-end alarm and AIS to tributaries). The last-mentioned consequence should not generally be used, especially if line equipment (or radio relay equipment) also monitor the error rate. No alarm is usually given of the received far-end alarm because the fault has been detected elsewhere but if desired, alarm A or alarm B can be set to be given. However, S-alarm visible in the Service Terminal is always given. It indicates that the main service of the system, i.e. main system sig nal, is missing. Error rate threshold (6,4/E-3) If an alarm is desired when the error rate threshold is exceeded, E-3 or E-4 is set as threshold. Default settings (6,6) With this setting the so-called factory settings can be restored to the equipment. Does not affect the settings Baud rate, Address, or Calibra tion of voltage measurement. User privileges Timeout (10,4,1/10 min) The time which the privileges obtained with the password or PIN signal (see Protections) are in effect is set (max. 1000 min). Protections (10,4,2/no protections) Some of the transmission management functions of the equipment can be protected against misuse. The protection is implemented by setting either a password (makes remote operation possible) or PIN signal as the condi tion for operation. The making of settings and controls is restricted by the PIN signal only to local operation and thus the possibility of misuse is smaller but the remote-controlled management of the network becomes more difficult.

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Operation 10.10.1989

DM 8, 34, 140 II/3 Page 59

Password (10,4,3/ - ) The password can consist of 1...7 characters. The protection is activated by item 10,4,2 Protections. It is recommended that this is set only after the commissioning of the equipment and when the connection functions faultlessly. 2.2 Commissioning measurements Commissioning measurements are not necessarily required. Clock fre quencies, however, can be measured if desired. The frequencies of the main system oscillator and AIS oscillator (in DM 34 and DM 140 also the frequencies of the tributary oscillators) are mea sured from the measurement points on the front edge of the equipment. The frequencies are connected to the measurement point through the service menu 5,4 and they are measured with a frequency counter. The recommended values for the frequencies are: 2.3 2M clock 8M clock 34M clock 140M clock 2047.94...2048.06 kHz (2048 kHz  30 ppm) 8447.83...8448.17 kHz (8448 kHz  20 ppm) 34367.48...34368.52 kHz (34368 kHz  15 ppm) 139262.61...139265.39 kHz (139264 kHz  10 ppm).

Statistics resetting Signal quality statistics and error counters are reset during commission ing. Reset statistics (8,1,1) Reset error counters (8,2,1)

In this way it is made sure that the compilation of statistics and error counting start from the commissioning.

MAINTENANCE The equipment does not require scheduled maintenance. Maintenance is needed only when the equipment indicates with alarms that there is a fault. Accurate data concerning the equipment state and the nature of the fault are obtained via the Service Terminal. Additional data on the condition of the equipment and the signal quality are obtained from the measurements and statistics made by the equip ment itself. Measurement results and statistics are read with the Service Terminal. By means of the Service Terminal, also the tests and loop-backs possibly required in fault location can be made.

When the red service LED is lit, there is a serious fault in the equipment and it usually has to be replaced by a new one. It is probably a question of power supply failure, i.e. the unit-specific power supply does not func tion. The red service LED, red rack alarm lamp and programmable alarm output PA1 are activated by means of an external auxiliary voltage. When the yellow service LED is lit, the fault may, for example, be in the signal received by the equipment. The alarm can also be caused by some controlled service function performed in the equipment (e.g. loopback). The alarming equipment itself is not necessarily faulty; the fault may be in the far-end equipment, signal cabling or the line section. The green service LED is lit when the equipment is accessed by the Ser vice Terminal. 3.2 State and fault messages The state and fault messages of the equipment obtained through the ser vice menu 1 Fault display by the Service Terminal or the TMS Transmis sion Management System are described below together with their mean ings. The rack alarm/service LED indication obtained from the equip ment in each situation is given in parentheses. No incoming xM sig. (A/yellow) The incoming main system signal (8, 34 or 140M) or tributary signal (2, 8 or 34M) is missing. Frame alignment lost (A/yellow) The frame alignment of the main system signal is lost. AIS xM ( - /yellow) The incoming main system signal (8, 34 or 140M) is AIS. BER > E-x (A, B, - or A, S, far-end alarm and AIS to tributaries/if A or B, yellow) The error rate of the incoming main system signal is worse than the set threshold value E-3 or E-4. The function of the alarms in this fault con dition can be set with the Service Terminal.

Far-end alarm (A, B or - /if A or B, yellow) Far-end alarm received (bit B11 or B13 of the frame structure). The function of the alarms in this fault condition can be set with the Service Terminal. Loop to equipment (A/yellow) Loop-back to equipment is connected. Loop to interface (A/yellow) Loop-back to interface is connected. Test mode (A/yellow) An equipment test is running. Memory fault (A/yellow) A fault detected by the equipment in EPROM, RAM or EEPROM test. Eq. reset (A/ - ) The local processor of the equipment has been reset (or some other simi lar malfunction). This fault message is obtained via the TMS Transmis sion Management System only. Fault in eq. (A/yellow or red) The equipment has detected a fault in itself, e.g. in connection with a loop-back.

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Operation 10.10.1989

DM 8, 34, 140 II/3 Page 64

3.3

Fault location In fault conditions, an alarm is sometimes received simultaneously from several sets of equipment. This is due to the fact that the effect of the fault spreads along the signal path with the faulty signal. Usually, however, the set of equipment that has detected a fault transmits the AIS whereupon the other sets do not alarm but indicate the AIS. If it is not possible to locate the fault on the basis of the fault data provided by the alarms and the Service Terminal, the use of equipment and inter face loop-backs, testing of the internal signal path of the equipment, and memory tests can be of help. NOTE! Loop-backs and signal path tests cut off the traffic. Unless the loop-backs are cancelled, they are in effect during the whole time set for controls (6,1,7 Control timeout).

Loop-back to interface (5,2,0,2/5,2,x,2) Loop-back to interface is used in testing a line section and signal cabling. The loop-back can be made in the main system or tributary repeater blocks.

Transmission and reception of test signal

In the DM 8 and DM 34 the signal path test is performed by the Service Terminal command 9,2 and the numbers of those tributaries where a faulty test signal has been received are obtained as an answer. If one wishes to perform the signal path test on the DM 140 or make a loop-back somewhere else than inside the equipment, the loop has to be connected with cables outside the equipment. Test signal transmission is controlled via the menu 5,2,x,4 and the numbers of those tributaries where a faultless test signal has been received are obtained as an answer from the menu 9,3. EPROM (9,5) RAM (9,6) and EEPROM (9,7) tests The following answers can be obtained from the memory tests ordered with the Service Terminal: OK EPROM failed Int. RAM failed Ext. RAM failed Int. and ext. RAMs failed EEPROM failed Too many corrections in EEPROM

The answer Too many corrections in EEPROM gives a warning of an im pending fault and it is advisable to have the equipment repaired.

Fault location examples Here are some examples of fault messages and fault location. If the equip ment in the network is connected to the same service network, loopbacks and tests can be performed remotely from one point. Incoming main system signal missing Since the equipment receiving a faulty signal - and often the faulty equip ment itself - transmits the AIS, it can be concluded that the fault is in the multiplex equipment receiver, signal cabling or preceding signal sending equipment. The condition of the multiplex equipment receiver can be checked by connecting the main system loop-back to equipment whereupon the equipment is found in working order when the alarm disappears. If the alarm does not disappear, the equipment gives the fault message Fault in equipment. The testing can be continued at the far-end either by connecting a loop with cables or remotely by making a loop-back to interface in the farend equipment. The condition of the far-end equipment transmitter can be checked with a loop-back to equipment which can also be made remotely if a service connection has been established through the data channel of some other equipment. When the incoming tributary signal is missing, the fault location proceeds as above. Frame alignment lost or BER > E-x The fault may be in the alarming equipment itself but also in the transmit ter of the same order multiplex equipment at the far-end or on the signal path. Using loop-backs, it is possible to check equipment by equipment how far on the signal path a faultless signal or one whose error rate is better than the set error threshold will persist. If the signal is coming via line equipment, data on the location of the fault can be obtained from the error rate alarm of the line equipment.

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Operation 10.10.1989

DM 8, 34, 140 II/3 Page 68

Incoming signal is AIS Some other equipment than the alarming equipment is receiving a faulty signal and is therefore transmitting the AIS. The fault location is started from the alarming equipment according to the above items. Far-end alarm received The equipment at the far-end has detected one of the above-men tioned faults. The alarming equipment itself is probably not faulty. The fault location is started from the equipment at the other end of the con nection and from the signal path. 3.5 Performance measurements Since the equipment itself collects data on signal quality and error occur rences and indicates faults by alarms, only few performance measure ments carried out with separate measurement instruments are required. However, measurements can be performed through the measurement points on the front edge of the equipment if desired. The supply voltages can be measured using the Service Terminal. Supply voltages The supply voltages can be measured and the result read through the ser vice menu 7. If the supply voltages deviate from the recommended values, it is advis able to have the equipment checked. The allowable range of variation for the voltages is 5 % from the nominal voltage. Error rate and jitter measurements The desired signal to be measured is connected to the front edge mea surement point of the equipment using the Service Terminal menu 5,4 and it is measured with an oscilloscope or an error counter. The signal con nected to the measurement point with the Service Terminal will not be re moved after the time set by Control timeout. In an error rate measurement, the values used in connection with statis tics can be used as a basis for performance evaluation (see Functional De scription). The recommended values for jitter measurements are given in the CCITT Recommendations G.742, G.751 and G.823.

MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Operation 10.10.1989

DM 8, 34, 140 II/3 Page 69

3.6

Monitoring of statistics Signal quality (8,1) The statistics on signal quality can be read using the Service Terminal. These statistics cover the time from the resetting to the reading. The read ing of the statistics does not reset the statistics. Evaluation of the results, see the Functional Description. If the local processor (CPU) of the equipment is reset, for example due to a voltage breakdown, also the statistics are reset and the compilation of the new statistics starts from that moment. In case the CPU-reset count er has been reset at the same time as the statistics, the resetting caused by the breakdown will also be seen from the counter. Error counters (8,2) CPU-reset counter (8,2,2) Displays the number of local processor resets. If the answer is > 255, the counter is full. Main system bit errors (8,2,3) Displays the cumulative sum of bit errors detected in the frame alignment word. If the answer is > 65535, the counter is full. Main system frame alignment losses (8,2,4) Displays the number of frame alignment losses detected in the received main system signal. If the answer is > 255, the counter is full. If the error counters are full, the exact number of errors can not be ob tained.

GENERAL The operation of the DM 8 Multiplex Equipment is controlled using the Service Terminal via the service interface. With the Service Terminal, the basic equipment settings can be set into the non-volatile memory, serv ice functions, e.g. loop-backs, can be performed, or the state and alarm data of the equipment can be read, etc. If the service interfaces are connected into a bus and the buses further into a service network by means of the data channel, all equipment con nected to the bus or network can be remote-controlled from one point using the Service Terminal (or the TMS Transmission Management Sys tem, see the corresponding operating handbooks). All the transmission management functions which can be performed with the Service Terminal are dealt with in this description. The functions are menu based and the menus have 1...4 levels. The service menus of the equipment are accessed using the Service Ter minal menu Select operation.
Select operation: 1 Fault display 2 Local alarm cancel 3 Reset local cancel 4 Identifications 5 Controls (temporary) 6 Settings (permanent) 7 Measurements 8 Statistics 9 Testing 10 User privileges 11 Miscellaneous

In the following, there is first a short description of each item in this menu and then the service menus of the equipment and their use are described in detail. 1 Fault display Indicates the equipment name, alarm states, main system and tributary states, and possible faults in plain language. 2 Local alarm cancel Removes rack alarms A and B caused by the equipment.

GENERAL The operation of the DM 34 Multiplex Equipment is controlled using the Service Terminal via the service interface. With the Service Terminal, the basic equipment settings can be set into the non-volatile memory, service functions, e.g. loop-backs, can be performed, or the state and alarm data of the equipment can be read, etc. If the service interfaces are connected into a bus and the buses further into a service network by means of the data channel, all equipment con nected to the bus or network can be remote-controlled from one point using the Service Terminal (or the TMS Transmission Management Sys tem, see the corresponding operating handbooks). All the transmission management functions which can be performed with the Service Terminal are dealt with in this description. The functions are menu based and the menus have 1...4 levels. The service menus of the equipment are accessed using the Service Ter minal menu Select operation.
Select operation: 1 Fault display 2 Local alarm cancel 3 Reset local cancel 4 Identifications 5 Controls (temporary) 6 Settings (permanent) 7 Measurements 8 Statistics 9 Testing 10 User privileges 11 Miscellaneous

In the following, there is first a short description of each item in this menu and then the service menus of the equipment and their use are described in detail. 1 Fault display Indicates the equipment name, alarm states, main system and tributary states, and possible faults in plain language. 2 Local alarm cancel Removes rack alarms A and B caused by the equipment. D alarm is ob tained as a reminder of the cancellation.

GENERAL The operation of the DM 140 Multiplex Equipment is controlled using the Service Terminal via the service interface. With the Service Terminal, the basic equipment settings can be set into the non-volatile memory, service functions, e.g. loop-backs, can be performed, or the state and alarm data of the equipment can be read, etc. If the service interfaces are connected into a bus and the buses further into a service network by means of the data channel, all equipment con nected to the bus or network can be remote-controlled from one point using the Service Terminal (or the TMS Transmission Management Sys tem, see the corresponding operating handbooks). All the transmission management functions which can be performed with the Service Terminal are dealt with in this description. The functions are menu based and the menus have 1...4 levels. The service menus of the equipment are accessed using the Service Ter minal menu Select operation.

10,4,2,2 Password required This option causes that the next time when a connection is established to the equipment the password has to be known or PIN signal has to be used if one wishes to change settings or make controls. The option requires that a password has been set for the equipment, see 10,4,3.

10,4,2,3 Local PIN required If this option has been selected, the settings and controls cannot be changed with any other means except by connecting PIN to ground (see 10,2).

10,4,3 Password Here a password can be set which has to be known later if one wishes to change the settings or controls. The equipment prompts:
Give password: 1...7 char
