NT1 ACE
ISDN Network Termination

Product Features
The ADTRAN NT1 ACE provides the
network termination for 2B1Q ISDN basic
rate service. The NT1 ACE provides a 2B+D
basic rate interface between the subscriber’s
terminal equipment and the ISDN network.
Basic rate ISDN consists of two 64 kbps B
channels and a single 16 kbps D channel.
Connection to the ISDN network is made
with a U interface. Connection to the
subscriber’s terminal equipment is by an
S/T interface. The U and the S/T interfaces
conform to ANSI and CCITT standards and
perform all Layer 1 functions.
the S/T interface for overcurrent fault condi-
tions. In the event of such a condition, the unit
automatically limits the amount of delivered
current until the fault condition is removed.
■ Compatible with 2B1Q
basic rate services and
standard ISDN terminals
■ Provides 2B+D basic
rate service
As many as eight passive bus devices may be
connected to the S/T interface of the NT1.
These connections can be in one of the
■ Conforms to ANSI T1.601-
1992 and ANSI
T1.605-1991
following two modes: multiple terminals within
50 meters of each other over the full 1,500
meter range of the interface, or multiple termi-
nals of arbitrary spacing within 200 meters.
Also, termination impedance options include
50 Ohm, 100 Ohm, or unterminated. The NT1
ACE is protected from lightning and harmful
line transients on the network interface.
■ Supports multiple switch
vendors Lucent 5ESS, NTI
DMS-100, Siemens EWSD,
NEC, and National ISDN-1
■ Responds to Quiet Mode
and Insertion Loss Test
The NT1 ACE is designed with aesthetics as
well as functionality in mind. The unit is
enclosed in an attractive, durable plastic
housing appropriate for desk-top use. The NT1
ACE is powered by the wall-mount power
supply included with the unit. The wall-mount
power supply provides up to 8.9 W of power for
terminal equipment. The NT1 ACE monitors

overcurrent protection
for S/T power
Three LED status indicators on the NT1
ACE aid in fault isolation. Indicators display
the status for Power, Network Ready, Network
and Customer Errors.
