Introduction
T1/FT1 OVERVIEW
T1 digital communication links have been used by the
transmitting companies (Telcos) for the transmitting of voice
since the early sixties. The D4 channel bank is an example of
a T1 digital carrier system that was introduced in the mid
seventies and is still widely used by the Telcos.
Communication demands of businesses continued to grow to
the point that the Telcos began offering T1 service directly to
the public. D4 channel banks began to be used for T1 in
corporate network topographies for voice. The technological
advances in computer development created a demand also
for T1 data communication which now is a large part of the
T1 traffic.
T1 Service Offerings
T1 is a digital service that is delivered to the user over two
pairs of wires from the service provider. The signal operates
at 1.544Mbps and is usually extended by repeaters that are
installed about every mile after the first 6000 feet. The T1
signal is divided into 24 time slots which operate at 64 kbps
(DS0s). Each time slot is occupied by digitized voice or by
data.
The T1 signal originally used a type of framing known as D4
Superframe which identifies how the T1 is multiplexed. An
enhancement of that framing format is available now called
Extended Superframe (ESF). ESF provides a non-disruptive
means of full time monitoring on the digital facility. It was
originally used by the service provider to monitor the

Chapter 1. Introduction
performance of their service offering. Since the introduction
of ESF, equipment that is installed in private networks can
also provide the same performance information to the user.
Fractional T1
Fractional T1 lets the buyer purchase less than a full T1
circuit between two points. Most carriers offer fractional T1
in increments of 56 or 64 kbps. Connection is made to the
same network elements. The network allows multiple users
to share the same interoffice T1 bandwidth.
Fractional T1 remains almost exclusively an Inter-Exchange
Carrier (IXC) service. Local Exchange Carriers (LECs)
typically do not offer FT1, so the user's proximity to the IXC's
point of presence (POP) is key in the savings that fractional
T1 offers.
Fractional T1 local access is available in two forms, 56kbps or
a full T1 line. In 56 kbps the required number of DDS lines is
extended from the IXC POP and the bandwidth is combined
at the office on an outbound T1 circuit. The user pays for the
individual 56K lines and the amount of the interoffice T1
utilized. In T1 access, the user pays for a full T1 to the IXC
POP and then only for the bandwidth utilized.

Functional Description
The ADTRAN TSU is one of several T1 multiplexers that
offers complete flexibility for connection of various data
sources to T1 or FT1 facilities. This family of TSU
multiplexers includes the following.
1. TSU - a T1 CSU/DSU with a single NX56k/64k serial
port. See Figure 1-1, above and Figure 1-2 on page 1- 4.
2. TSU 100 - same as the TSU with the added feature of a
slot in the rear panel to house an option module. Each
module offers up to four additional data ports.
3. TSU 600 - same as the TSU with the added feature of six
slots in the rear panel to house up to six option modules.
Each module offers up to four additional data ports for a
total of 24 possible data ports.
The TSU serves as the link between user data sources such as
LAN bridges and routers, computers, CAD systems and
teleconferencing equipment. The amount of bandwidth
allocated to the port is custom programmable. The DTE data
can occupy contiguous or alternate channels in the T1 stream,
and the channels may start at any position.

Three Methods of Control
Front Panel
The front panel provides complete and easy control of all
items that can be configured through menu guided options.
The front panel LCD also displays the status of operation and
performance reports for the unit. A complete discussion of
the operation of the front panel and all the menu options is
found in Chapter 3, Operation.
Adtran PC Program
T-WATCH is the ADTRAN PC control program. It provides
complete control over the configuration of the TSU using a
graphic interface. The T-WATCH program displays the same
status and performance data as the front panel LCD. This
data is displayed in the form of tables and graphs.
The T-WATCH program has the following capabilities.
1. Interfaces with a modem which permits dialing into a
remote TSU location to configure the unit or read the
unit’s status or performance.
2. The performance data read from the units can be
exported in a file which is compatible with common
spread sheet programs.
SNMP
The ADTRAN TSU will support the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) through an ADTRAN proxy
agent in mid 1994. The proxy agent runs on a PC and can
interface to the TSU directly or via a modem, in the same
manner as the T-WATCH PC program.

Chapter 1. Introduction
TSU Clock Sources
The TSU is operable from various clock sources permitting it
to perform properly in many different applications. The
network interface clocking options are set by using the
Network (NI) Configuration menu options. There are three
clock source options available.
•
•
•
Network
DTE Timed
Internal Timing
The clocking option selected always designates the clock source for
transmission. Clocking necessary for receiving data will always be
recovered from incoming data.
Network Timed
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 1-4.

DTE Timed
The DTE is the source of timing. The TSU uses the incoming
DTE clock to determine the transmission timing. This is
typically used in applications where it is necessary to have
the DTE as the Primary Clock Source, (such as limited
distance line drivers). See Figure 1-5.

TSU Testing
Currently the TSU offers three forms of testing.
•
•
•
Self Test
Loopback Tests
Pattern generation and check
Self Tests
The self test checks the integrity of the internal operation of
the electronic components by performing memory tests and
by sending and verifying data test patterns through all
internal interfaces. Although actual user data cannot be
passed during these tests, the self test can be run with the
network and DTE interfaces in place and will not disturb any
external interface.
The self test automatically executes upon power up. It can
also be commanded from a front panel menu or from the
control port.
In addition to the specified self tests, background tests are
also run on various parts of the internal electronics. These
will run during normal operation to confirm continued
correct functioning. The background tests include; 1)
monitoring the phase locked loop for lock, 2) the standard
background network performance monitoring, as required
by ANSI T1.403 andAT&T 54016 for which the results are
stored.
Loopback Tests
A number of different loopbacks can be invoked locally from
the front panel, by T-WATCH commands or remotely by
using special inband codes (AT&T D4 network loop up and
loop down codes; V.54 loop up/loop down codes for the
Nx56k/64k serial interface). Additionally the loopbacks can
be remotely controlled by out-of-band commands via the T1
ESF FDL, or from T-WATCH via a modem connection.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Network Loopbacks
There are two types of network loopbacks; see Figure 1-7.
•
Line Loopback: 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.
•
Payload Loopback: similar to Line loopback, except that
the framing is extracted from the received data and then
regenerated for the transmitted data.

DTE Interface Loopbacks
The Nx56k/64k serial interface offers a DTE loopback. See
Figure 1-8.
DTE Loopback: loops all data from the DTE back towards
the DTE. This loopback may be initiated by the DTE asserting
the Local Loopback (LL) input on the connector or by using
front panel or T-WATCH commands. The DTE (or external
test equipment) must provide any test pattern in order to
check the DTE interface.

Pattern Generation
The TSU offers four available test patterns, All Ones, 3:24,
and 511 and 1:8.
All Ones
Need definition
3 in 24
The 3:24 is a stress pattern which places the maximum
number of 0s in the transmitted data. This is always done
over all DS0s. This pattern is used in conjunction with
external test equipment to determine if the T1 line is
preforming acceptably under a stress condition.
61200060L1-1
TSU User Manual
1-13
Chapter 1. Introduction
511
The 511 pattern is generated and checked by the Nx56k/64k
serial interface. It only appears in the DS0s assigned to the
Nx56k/64k port. When used in conjunction with the payload
loopback at the far end as previously described, an end to
end integrity check can be made on the DTE ports.
1 in 8
The 1:8 pattern is used similarly to the 3:24. Each channel of
the T1 has only one bit set.
Application
Using the V.35 DTE interface, a bridge or router can be
interfaced to the network. The bandwidth used is
programmable at Nx56 or Nx64 data rates for T1 or FT1
service. The bandwidth can be selected as contiguous or
alternate. See Figure 1-9.

POWER UP TESTING AND INITIALIZATION
When shipped from the factory, the TSU is uninitialized and
set to factory default conditions. At the first application of
power, the unit will automatically execute self tests followed
by an initialization sequence which sets up the unit.
Self Test
Upon a power-up or commanded self tests the LCD displays
ADTRAN TSU INITIALIZING and the LEDs illuminate
sequentially. When the self test is completed with no failures
detected, the LCD will momentarily display ALL TESTS
PASSED. If a failure is detected it is displayed in the LCD
window. The automatic self test procedure consists of the
following tests.
1. Board level tests.
•
•
RAM tests; EPROM checksum
On board data path. Sending a known test pattern
through an on board loop.
2. Unit level tests.

Used to set the unit up as the Master or Slave on a chain of
units, and whether to initialize a modem and the control port
data rate.
POSITION
Determines if this TSU is at the head of a chain of units
(directly connected to the modem or PC). The head of the
chain is referred to as the Master Unit. Units down the chain
are referred to as Slaves or a Slave Unit.
The setting of the position selection is necessary only when
using a modem, in which case the head unit should be
Master. For all other cases, select SLAVE. (The Master is in
charge for control of the modem.)
Choices: MASTER; SLAVE
MODEM INIT
The TSU is capable of initializing a modem. This menu
selection is used to effect this initialization and should be
selected only when the choice above designates the TSU as
the MASTER. Prior to modem initialization it should be
physically connected to the TSU and the power turned on. At
this point, an industry-standard AT command string is used
to initialize the modem. The string is also used following
future power-up sequences.

DATA RATE
Selects the data rate for the control port. This should be
consistent with all units on a chain and with the modem
and/or PC/Proxy Agent serial port.
Choices: 1200, 2400, 9600
2) ALARMS
Used to initialize the method by which the control port
handles alarm conditions.
TRAPS
This setting determines if alarm conditions should
automatically send alarm messages (traps) to the controlling
PC/Proxy Agent. The setting is for this unit, or for slaves if
this unit is a master.
Choices: ENAB - Enable; DISA - Disable
OUTPUT
Selects whether the alarm traps (if enabled) are sent directly,
or if the telephone number stored in the TSU should be
dialed first (industry-standard AT dial command sent to
modem).
Choices: DIRECT or DIAL
TEL NUM
This is the telephone number which is dialed to obtain alarm
traps. The string can be up to 20 characters in length and is
terminated with a semi colon (;) as the last character. A colon
(:) character is used to represent a pause in the dial string.
Example: For number 9:5551212; dial 9, pause, and then send
5551212. This pause could be effected to access an outside
line form a PBX, etc.
When editing a specific character, the scroll keys are used to
scroll from 0 to 9, then “:” and “;”. The new telephone
number is entered into the TSU only upon pressing ENTER
after typing the “;”.
Choices: 20 digits (0-9, : and ;)
The typed digits are accepted only after pressing ENTER.

RATE 56/64
This sets the base rate of the interface. The actual data rate
depends on the number of DS0s assigned to the Nx port. The
DTE data rate vs. the number of DS0s appear in Appendix II.
Choices: 56K or 64K
CHANNELS
This sets the unit to use alternate or contiguous channels in
the T1 data stream. If greater than 12 channels are used, then
contiguous must be used. If not, then alternate channels may
be used to meet pulse density requirements (only necessary
for Nx 64 without B8ZS). If other than a private network, the
carrier must be notified of this choice.
Choices: ALT or CONT
DTE TX CLK
Controls the clock used by the TSU to accept the transmit
(TX) data from the DTE. Normally this is 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). This
switches the phase of the clock which should compensate for
a long cable. If the DTE provides a clock with TX data, the
clock selection is set to EXTERNAL. The TSU will depend on
an externally supplied clock to accept the TX data.
Choices: INTERNAL, INT-INV, or EXTERNAL
START CHAN
Used to select the channel in which the T stream will start.
The setting must be consistent with the carrier if using a
public network.
Choices: 01 through 24

1)Network Tests, Submenu of 4)Test
Network Tests are used to control the activation of loopbacks
and the initiation of data test patterns.
The Network tests are run on the Network INterface (NI).
Three different test configurations can be selected to
determine the type of loopback and the pattern to run. Test
results are displayed in the LCD window.
1. With the cursor on main menu item 4)TEST, press
ENTER.
The first twoTest submenu items with the cursor on
1)NETWORK TESTS displays.
2. Press ENTER.
The first of three submenu choices with the cursor on
1)LOCAL LOOPBCK displays. There are three available
choices for setting the local loopback.
Line On - Activates the line loopback
Payload On - Activates the payload loopback
No loopback - Deactivates the loopback.
3. Use the up and down scroll keys to select and press
ENTER to record selection. The cursor returns to the 1 in
front of LOCAL LOOPBACK.
4. Use the up and down scroll keys to select 2)REMOTE
LOOPBACK or 3)PATTERN.
2)REMOTE LOOPBK- activates the same loopbacks as the
LOCAL but at the far end. This uses either the inband loopup
code as specified byAT&T 62411 for line loopback (ATT In-
Band LLB), or the FDL as specified in ANSI T1.403 for
payload and line loopback codes. An FDL (formerly TABS)
maintenance message corresponding to AT&T TR54016 can
be used for payload loopback as well.
•
No loopback - deactivates the loopback

511 Active DS0s - generates a 511 test pattern and inserts
the pattern into currently active channels
•
•
•
1:8 ALL DS0s - generates a 1 in 8 pattern in all DS0s
All Ones - generates an all ones pattern in every channel
None - terminates pattern generation
8. Use the up and down scroll keys to select; for example,
511 ACTIVE DS0s.
9. Press ENTER to record selection. The TSU starts to
generate a 511 test pattern and inserts the pattern into all
DS0s.

4)CLR 511 ERRORS - Accomplishes two functions. First, it
clears out the 511 error total when ENTER is pressed. Second,
it displays a total of the 511 errors. If 511 errors are being
received, the display is updated accordingly.
C L R 5 1 1 E R R O R S
5 1 1 E R R O R S = 5 6
This menu function is very useful for testing end-to-end
integrity of the network. First loopup the far end TSU. Then
send a 511 pattern from the local TSU. The CLR 511 ERRORS
screen can then be used to determine if the link is functioning
properly by verifying that no errors are being counted.
2)Run Selftest, Submenu of 4)Test
This menu selection is used to execute an internal self test.
This is the same self test that is performed automatically at
power up. The results of the self tests are displayed in the
LCD. Upon invoking the command the LCD displays
INITIALIZING and test failures are displayed in the LCD
window. The self test procedure consists of the following
tests.
•
•
Ram tests; EPROM checksum
On board data path. Sending a known test pattern
through an on-board loop
•
•
Front Panel LED verification
Phase Lock Loop verify
If a failure is detected, note the failure number prior to
contacting ADTRAN technical support.
Executing a self test will disrupt normal data flow and prevent re-
mote communication until the self test is completed (5 seconds).

Testing Example
Prior to actually using the TSU to pass data, it is
recommended to run tests on the circuit.
The 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.
•
•
Send the pattern from one end and loopback the far end.
Send the pattern from both ends and check at both ends.
Far End Looped Back Test
Two types of tests can be executed with the far end looped.
The first is a check of the network and the network interfaces
at both ends (511). The second is a check of the DTE port.
Network Interface Test
The Network Interface Test can be run with any channel
setup because the 511 pattern is always sent in the occupied
channels.
1. At the main menu, use the scroll keys to place the cursor
on 4)TEST.
