NT8D72 PRI2 25  
NTBK51 Downloadable D-Channel Daughterboard  
The NTBK51 is a two port Downloadable D-Channel Daughterboard (DDCH)  
that has been introduced as an option to the NT6D80 MSDL, the NT5D97  
dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card, or the NT5D12 dual-port 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card.  
The NTBK51 supports all the features of the existing 4 port MSDL  
(NT6D80), and eliminates the need for an external DCH card and associated  
cables for MSDL applications. The NTBK51 can support a maximum of 32  
(16*2) MSDL type D-Channels per system, unlike the MSDL which can  
support a maximum of 64.  
Note 1: Only one version, the NTBK51AA, can be used with the  
NT5D97, or the NT5D12. The NTBK51BA version has only 30+30 pin  
connectors (instead of 40+30 pins in the AA version). The missing 10  
pins in the BA version prohibits the use of port 0 on the NT5D97, or  
NT5D12 card.  
Note 2: The software allocation for NTBK51AA DDCH is similar to  
the MSDL. It is both physical and logical, and supports D-Channel  
functionality only.  
Note 3: Port 0 has to be an even loop on the DDP2, and Port 1 has to  
be an odd loop. Port 2 and Port 3 should not be configured.  
The connection between the dual-port cards and the DDCH daughterboard  
is made using two headers: one 30 pin and one 40 pin connector.  
Standard PRI cards  
This section provides a description of the standard ISDN PRI cards, namely  
the NT8D72 (AB/BA) PRI2 card, and the QPC720 1.5 Mb PRI card.  
NT8D72 PRI2  
Power requirements  
The NT8D72AB and NT8D72BA PRI use power and ground connections  
from the backplane. Power requirements are:  
+5 volts at 4 amperes  
+12 volts at 50 milliamperes  
-12 volts at 50 milliamperes  
NT8D72 faceplate  
The NT8D72 contains five LEDs and six external connectors. Figure 5  
"NT8D72 PRI faceplate layout" (page 26) shows the faceplate layout.

28 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview  
Echo canceller interface  
Echo cancellers are required only on satellite transmission circuits. The  
echo canceller detects the length of the loop, and then cancels out reflected  
transmission. (Callers will not hear echoes of their own voices reflecting  
back to them from the far end of the call.)  
The echo canceller’s control protocol must conform with that of the Tellabs  
Model 251. Both the echo canceller and the PRI circuit card act as Data  
Terminal Equipment (DTE).  
QMT21 High Speed Data Module  
The QMT21 High Speed Data Module supports the 64K Clear Data feature.  
(It allows data terminating equipment (DTE) to send and receive 64-Kb/s  
clear data.) The QMT21B is required for Large System to Large System  
configurations.  
QPC720 PRI for 1.5/2.0 Mb gateway  
Systems which are being used as a 1.5/2.0 Mb Gateway, one or more  
QPC720 (1.5 Mb) Primary Rate Interface circuit cards will also be needed.  
Note: Older vintages of the QPC720 PRI cannot be used for Gateway  
applications. The 1.5/2.0 Mb Gateway feature requires the use of a  
QPC720 circuit card with firmware updated to provide modified PAD  
values.  
Clock operation for the NT8D72  
There are two types of clock operation—tracking mode and free-run mode.  
Tracking mode  
In tracking mode, the PRI loop supplies an external clock reference to a  
clock controller. Two PRI loops can operate in tracking mode, with one  
defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other  
defined as the secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts  
as a back-up to the primary reference.  
(page 29), a system with dual CPUs can have two clock controllers (CC-0  
and CC-1). One clock controller acts as a back-up to the other. The clock  
controllers should be completely locked to the reference clock.

Figure 6  
Clock controller primary and secondary tracking  
Free run (non-tracking) mode  
The clock synchronization of the system can operate in free-run mode if:  
no loop is defined as the primary or secondary clock reference,  
the primary and secondary references are disabled, or  
the primary and secondary references are in local alarm  
Reference clock errors  
The system software checks at intervals of 1 to 15 minutes to see if a clock  
controller or reference-clock error has occurred. (The interval of this check  
can be configured in LD 73.)  
In tracking mode, at any one time, there is one active clock controller which  
is tracking on one reference clock. If a clock-controller error is detected, the  
system switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which  
reference clock is being tracked.

30 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview  
A reference-clock error occurs when there is a problem with the clock driver  
or with the reference clock at the far end. If the clock controller detects a  
reference-clock error, the reference clocks are switched.  
Automatic clock recovery  
A command for automatic clock recovery can be selected in LD 60 with  
the command EREF.  
A PRI loop is disabled when it enters a local-alarm condition. If the local  
alarm is cleared, the loop is enabled automatically. When the loop is  
enabled, clock tracking is restored in the following conditions:  
1. If the loop is assigned as the primary reference clock but the clock  
controller is tracking on the secondary reference or in free-run mode, it  
is restored to tracking on primary.  
2. If the loop is assigned as the secondary reference clock but the clock  
controller is in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on secondary.  
If the clock check indicates the switch is in free-run mode:  
1. Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock if defined.  
2. If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is restored  
to the secondary reference clock if defined.  
Note: If the switch is put into free-run mode by the craftsperson, it will  
resume tracking on a reference clock unless the clock-switching option  
has been disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock has  
been "undefined" in the database.  
Automatic clock switching  
If the EREF command is selected in LD 60, tracking on the primary or  
secondary reference clock is automatically switched in the following manner:  
1. If software is unable to track on the assigned primary reference clock, it  
switches to the secondary reference clock and sends appropriate DTC  
maintenance messages.  
2. If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock,  
it switches to free run.  
QPC720 PRI  
The QPC720 PRI card is required for PRI operation in all machine types.  
Power requirements  
The QPC720 PRI uses power and ground from the backplane. This card  
does not require an intelligent bus. Power requirements are:

NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card  
The NT5D97 is a dual-port 2.0 Mb DTI2/PRI2 card (the DDP2 firmware  
functions in DTI2 or PRI2 mode, depending on DIP switch settings) that  
integrates the functionality of two NT8D72BA PRI2 cards, and one QPC414  
ENET card into a single CE card. The NT5D97 occupies a single slot in  
the Network shelf and provides two DTI2/PRI2 network connections: an  
interface to an external D-Channel Handler (the NT6D11AF) or the NT6D80  
Multipurpose Serial Data Link card, and an optional plug-on NTBK51AA  
Downloadable D-Channel daughterboard (DDCH) with two DCH interface  
ports.  
The NT5D97 DDP2 card can be mixed in the same machine with PRI2  
NT8D72BA cards.  
The NT5D97 DDP2 card hardware design uses a B57 ASIC E1/T1 framer.  
The carrier specifications comply with the ANSI TI.403 specification. The  
NT5D97 provides an interface to the 2.048 Mbps external digital line  
either directly or through an office repeater, Network Channel Terminating  
Equipment (NCTE), or Line Terminating Unit (LTU).  
DANGER  
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
The NT5D97 DDP2 card is not designed to be connected  
directly to the Public Switched Network, or other exposed plant  
networks. Such a connection should only be done using an  
isolating-type networking terminating device that provides voltage  
surge protection, such as a Line Terminating Unit (LTU), Network  
Channel Terminating Equipment (NCTE), or Network Termination  
1 (NT1), as certified by your local, regional, or national safety  
agency and telecommunications authority.  
External D-Channel Interface DCH or MSDL  
The connection between the DDP2 card and the external DCH or MSDL is  
through a 26 pin female D type connector. The data signals conform to the  
electrical characteristics of the EIA standard RS-422.

System capacity and performance  
Physical capacity  
Each NT5D97 DDP2 card occupies one slot on the network shelf. Each card  
supports two digital trunk circuits and two network loops. The total number  
of DDP2 cards per system is limited by the number of network loops,  
physical capacity of the shelf, number of DTI2/PRI2 interfaces allowed by  
the software and the range of DCH addresses.  
D-Channel capacity  
The software configuration for the NTBK51AA DDCH is similar to the MSDL  
and only supports D-channel functionality.  
The system has a total capacity of 16 addresses (Device Addresses or  
DNUM) that can be reserved for DCH card, MSDL card or DDCH card. One  
exception is DNUM 0 which is commonly assigned to the TTY terminal.  
No two different D-Channel providers can share the same DNUM. Hence,  
the combined maximum number of DCH, MSDL and DDCH cards in the  
system is 16.  
The DCH has one D-Channel unit, the DDCH has two D-Channel units,  
and the MSDL has a maximum of four units. Therefore, the total number  
of D-Channel is derived by the following formula:  
Total_Num_DCH-Units = Num_DCHx1 + Num_DDCHx2 + Num_MSDLx4  
Therefore, Total_Num_DCH-Units in any given system is between 0-63.

CPU capacity  
Using a NT5D97 DDP2 card instead of DTI2/PRI2 cards does not increase  
the load on the system CPU. The DDP2 replaces an ENET card and two  
DTI2/PRI2 cards. Emulating the ENET card and the overall CPU capacity is  
not impacted by using a DDP2 card instead of a DTI2/PRI2 card.

50 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview  
Tracking mode In tracking mode, the DDP2 loop supplies an external  
clock reference to a clock controller. Two DDP2 loops can operate in  
tracking mode, with one defined as the primary reference source for clock  
synchronization, the other defined as the secondary reference source. The  
secondary reference acts as a back-up to the primary reference.  
(page 50), a system with dual CPUs can have two clock controllers (CC-0  
and CC-1). One clock controller acts as a back-up to the other. The clock  
controllers should be completely locked to the reference clock.  
Figure 18  
Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking  
Free run (non-tracking) mode The clock synchronization of the system  
can operate in free-run mode if:  
no loop is defined as the primary or secondary clock reference,  
the primary and secondary references are disabled, or  
the primary and secondary references are in local (near end) alarm

Reference clock errors  
The system software checks at intervals of 1 to 15 minutes to see if a clock  
controller or reference-clock error has occurred. (The interval of this check  
can be configured in LD 73).  
In tracking mode, at any one time, there is one active clock controller which  
is tracking on one reference clock. If a clock controller error is detected, the  
system switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which  
reference clock is being tracked.  
A reference-clock error occurs when there is a problem with the clock driver  
or with the reference clock at the far end. If the clock controller detects a  
reference-clock error, the reference clocks are switched.  
Automatic clock recovery  
A command for automatic clock recovery can be selected in LD 60 with  
the command EREF.  
A DDP2 loop is disabled when it enters a local-alarm condition. If the local  
alarm is cleared, the loop is enabled automatically. When the loop is  
enabled, clock tracking is restored in the following conditions:  
If the loop is assigned as the primary reference clock but the clock  
controller is tracking on the secondary reference or in free-run mode, it  
is restored to tracking on primary.  
If the loop is assigned as the secondary reference clock but the clock  
controller is in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on secondary.  
If the clock check indicates the switch is in free-run mode:  
Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock if defined.  
— If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is  
restored to the secondary reference clock if defined.  
Note: If the system is put into free-run mode by the craftsperson,  
it resumes tracking on a reference clock unless the clock-switching  
option is disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock is  
"undefined" in the database.  
Automatic clock switching  
If the EREF command is selected in LD 60, tracking on the primary or  
secondary reference clock is automatically switched in the following manner:  
If software is unable to track on the assigned primary reference clock, it  
switches to the secondary reference clock and sends appropriate DTC  
maintenance messages.  
If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock,  
it switches to free run.

52 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview  
Clock configurations  
Clock Controllers can be used in a single or a dual CPU system.  
A single CPU system has one Clock Controller card. This card can receive  
reference clocks from two sources referred to as the primary and secondary  
sources. These two sources can originate from a PRI2, DTI2, etc. PRI2  
cards such as the NT8D72BA are capable of supplying two references of  
the same clock source. These are known as Ref1 (available at J1) and Ref2  
(available at J2) on the NT8D72BA.  
The NT5D12 card is capable of supplying two references from each clock  
source, i.e., four references in total. NT5D12 can supply Clk0 and Clk1 from  
Unit 0 and Clk0 and Clk1 from Unit 1. Either Unit 0 or Unit 1 can originate  
There is one Clock Controller cable required for the DDP2 card, which  
is available in four sizes; this is the NTCG03AA/AB/AC/AD. Refer to  
"Reference clock cables" (page 45) for more information.

NT5D12 Dual-port DTI/PRI  
The NT5D12 is a dual-port 1.5 DTI/PRI card (the DDP firmware functions in  
DTI or PRI mode) integrating the functionality of two QPC472 DTI/DDP2  
PRI cards and one QPC414 ENET into one card. The NT5D12 occupies a  
single Network shelf slot and provides two DTI/PRI network connections,  
an optional connection to an external D-Channel Handler, the QPC757  
D-Channel Handler Interface (DCHI) or NT6D80 Multipurpose Serial Data  
Link (MSDL), and an optional plug-on NTBK51AA Downloadable D-Channel  
daughterboard (DDCH.)  
The NT5D12 DDP card supports all features (except the echo canceller and  
protocol conversion) of the QPC720. In addition, it maintains the backward  
compatibility of QPC720.  
The NT5D12 DDP card hardware design uses a B57 ASIC E1/T1 framer.  
The carrier specifications comply with the ANSI TI.403 specification. The  
NT5D12 provides an interface to the 1.5 Mb external digital line either  
directly or through an office repeater, Line Terminating Unit (LTU), or  
Channel Service Unit (CSU).

D-Channel and MSDL interface  
The connection between the DDP card and the DCHI or MSDL is via a 26  
pin female D type connector. The data signals conform to the electrical  
characteristics of the EIA standard RS-422.  
Two control signals are used to communicate the D-Channel link status  
to the DCHI or MSDL. These are:  
Receiver Ready (RR), originating at the DDP card, to indicate to the  
DCHI or MSDL that the D-channel link is operational.  
Transmitter Ready (TR), originating at the DCHI or MSDL, to indicate to  
the DDP card that the DCHI or MSDL are ready to use the D-Channel  
link.

System capacity and performance  
Physical capacity  
Each DDP card occupies one slot on the network shelf. It supports two  
digital trunk circuits and two network loops. The total number of DDP cards  
per system is limited by the number of network loops, physical capacity of  
the shelf, number of DTI/PRI interfaces allowed by the software and the  
range of DCH addresses.  
D-Channel capacity  
The software configuration for the NTBK51AA DDCH is similar to the MSDL.  
It is both physical and logical, and supports D-Channel functionality only.  
The system has a total capacity of 16 addresses (Device Addresses or  
DNUM) that can be reserved for DCHI card, MSDL card or DDCH card. One  
exception is DNUM 0 which is commonly assigned to the System Monitor.  
No two different D-Channel providers can share the same DNUM. Hence,  
the combined maximum number of DCHI, MSDL and DDCH cards in the  
system is 16.  
The DCHI and DDCH have two D-Channel units, the MSDL has four.  
Therefore the total number of D-Channels is derived by the following formula:  
Total_Num_DCH-Units = Num_DCHIx2 + Num_DDCHx2 + Num_MSDLx4  
Therefore, Total_Num_DCH-Units in any given system is between 0-63.

NT5D12 Dual-port DTI/PRI 65  
CPU capacity  
Using a NT512 DDP card instead of DTI/PRI cards does not increase  
the load on the system CPU. The DDP replaces an ENET card and two  
DTI/PRI cards, it emulates the ENET card and the overall CPU capacity is  
not impacted by usage of DDP card instead of a DTI/PRI card.

Clock  
There are two types of clock operation - tracking mode and free-run mode.  
Tracking mode  
In tracking mode, the DDP loop supplies an external clock reference to a  
clock controller. Two DDP loops can operate in tracking mode, with one  
defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other  
defined as the secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts  
as a back-up to the primary reference.

clock controllers to the reference clock.  
Figure 30  
Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking  
Free run (non-tracking) mode  
The clock synchronization of the system can operate in free-run mode if:  
no loop is defined as the primary or secondary clock reference,  
the primary and secondary references are disabled, or  
the primary and secondary references are in local (near end) alarm.  
Reference clock errors  
The system software checks at intervals of 1 to 15 minutes to see if a clock  
controller or reference-clock error has occurred. (The interval of this check  
can be configured in LD 73.)

72 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview  
In tracking mode, at any one time, there is one active clock controller which  
is tracking on one reference clock. If a clock controller error is detected, the  
system switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which  
reference clock is being tracked.  
A reference-clock error occurs when there is a problem with the clock driver  
or with the reference clock at the far end. If the clock controller detects a  
reference-clock error, the reference clocks are switched.  
Automatic clock recovery  
A command for automatic clock recovery can be selected in LD 60 with  
the command EREF.  
A DDP loop is disabled when it enters a local-alarm condition. If the local  
alarm is cleared, the loop is enabled automatically. When the loop is  
enabled, clock tracking is restored in the following conditions:  
If the loop is assigned as the primary reference clock but the clock  
controller is tracking on the secondary reference or in free-run mode, it  
is restored to tracking on primary.  
If the loop is assigned as the secondary reference clock but the clock  
controller is in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on secondary.  
If the clock check indicates the switch is in free-run mode:  
Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock if defined.  
— If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is  
restored to the secondary reference clock if defined.  
Note: If the system is put into free-run mode by the craftsperson,  
it resumes tracking on a reference clock unless the clock-switching  
option is disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock is  
"undefined" in the database.  
Automatic clock switching  
If the EREF command is selected in LD 60, tracking on the primary or  
secondary reference clock is automatically switched in the following manner:  
If software is unable to track on the assigned primary reference clock, it  
switches to the secondary reference clock and sends appropriate DTC  
maintenance messages.  
If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock,  
it switches to free run.  
Clock configurations  
Clock Controllers can be used in a single or a dual CPU system.

NT5D12 Dual-port DTI/PRI 73  
A single CPU system has one Clock Controller card. This card can receive  
reference clocks from two sources referred to as the primary and secondary  
sources. These two sources can originate from a PRI, DTI, etc. PRI cards  
such as the QPC720 are capable of supplying two references of the same  
clock source. These are known as Ref1 (available at J1) and Ref2 (available  
at J2) on the QPC720.  
The NT5D12 card is capable of supplying two references from each clock  
source, i.e., four references in total. NT5D12 can thus supply Clk0 and Clk1  
from Port 0 and Clk0 and Clk1 from Port 1. Either Port 0 or Port 1 can  
originate the primary source, as shown in Figure 31 "Clock Controller -  
There is one new Clock Controller cable required for the new DDP card,  
which is available in four sizes; this is the NTCG03AA/AB/AC/AD. Refer to  
"Reference clock cables" (page 68) for more information.

DIP switch settings  
The NT6D11AB/AE/AF has three sets of DIP switches. Each port has its  
own bank of 10 DIP switches (SW1 & SW2) to select the port address (8  
bits) and mode of operation (2 bits). SW1 is used for port 0 settings, SW2 is  
used for port 1 settings. SW3 is used to select the D-channel protocol. Port  
0 is used to select whether the asynchronous ESDI port is be disabled or  
not. Port 1 is used to select the standard or expanded D-channel addressing  
mode on the NT6D11AB/AE/AF.  
The DIP switches are located as shown by Figure 35 "NT6D11 DIP

NTBK51 DDCH installation and removal  
Contents  
This section contains information on the following topics:  
Introduction  
This chapter provides installation and removal procedures for the NTBK51  
Downloadable D-channel Daughterboard, the NT5D97 dual-port DTI2/PRI2  
card, and the NT5D12 dual-port 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card on all Large Systems.  
Note: The only version of the NTBK51 DDCH that can be used on an  
NT5D97, or NT5D12 installed on a Large System, is the NTBK51AA.  
Vintage NTBK51BA cannot be used, due to a different pin configuration  
(the NTBK51BA is used on Small Systems.)  
Before beginning an installation:  
Consult the Spares Planning (NN3001-253) document and follow the  
instructions.  
Bring spares of all cables and boards.  
Remember that test procedures require a 24-hour minimum bit error-rate  
testing before being used.  
Remember that either the DDCH, the MSDL, or NT5D97, or NT5D12  
card can be installed first. However, NT5D97 PRI2 loops, and NT5D12  
PRI loops, must be configured in software before defining DCH links.

92 NTBK51 DDCH installation and removal  
The DDCH can be mounted on any NT5D97 DDP2 card. Set the address  
for the DDCH (see the switch settings section to set the address). If a  
DDCH is present on a DDP2 card then an external D-channel should not be  
connected to J6. If a DDCH is present the LED "DDCH" lights up.  
CAUTION  
The static discharge bracelet located inside the cabinet must be  
worn before handling circuit cards. Failure to wear the bracelet  
can result in damage to the circuit cards.  
Procedure 5  
Install the NTBK51 on the NT5D97 dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card  
Step Action  
1
2
Unpack and inspect the DDCH daughterboard.  
The DDCH comes with four standoffs so that it can be mounted  
onto the NT5D97. These are easily pushed into four corresponding  
mounting holes on the DDP2.  
Mount the DDCH so that it mates with P1 and P2 on the NT5D97  
motherboard.  
Note: P 1 and P 2 contain (40+30) sockets as the NTBK51AA  
respective pins (40+30), which enables the technician to "mate"  
them. This is applicable for the NT5D97AA/AB. The NT5D97AD  
has 44+34 sockets. In order to place the NTBK51AA (40+30  
pins), place the NTBK51AA inside P1 and P2. Start from their  
lower edge. (The remaining "free" sockets (4+4) in P1 and P2  
are in their upper edge.)  
3
Set the DDP2 ENB/DIS faceplate switch to Enable (ON). The DDCH  
LED then flashes three times.

The section contains information on the following topics:  
Introduction  
This chapter contains information on how to install the 2.0 Mb NT8D72 and  
the 1.5 Mb QPC720 PRI cards on all Large Systems.  
Information on how to install the dual-port cards NT5D97 and NT5D12 is  
contained in this document.  
PRI circuit pack locations  
The PRI circuit pack occupies two adjacent slots on a shelf. As many as  
five circuit packs can be plugged into an empty Network shelf, along with a  
Power Converter circuit pack. Specific locations will depend on available  
space.  
Note 1: Due to physical width, Bus Terminating Units (BTUs) and PRIs  
cannot fit next to each other on a shelf.

Note 2: This chapter includes instructions for installing an additional  
network shelf on a system (when no vacant Network slots are available  
to install PRI packs, additional network shelves can replace Intelligent  
Peripheral Equipment shelves located on the rear of the Common  
Equipment or Disk shelves). Refer to "Install an additional network  
Cable requirements  
Shielded 22 AWG (0.644 mm) cables are recommended for connecting  
the PRI to the crossconnect point. This cable consists of two twisted-pair  
conductors.  
The transmit and the receive pairs must be enclosed in a polyvinyl jacket.  
This type of cable is commonly referred to as "6-conductor" cable. The  
cable should be grounded at the crossconnect point.  
In addition to twisted-pair conductors, 75-ohm coaxial cable can also be  
used to provide connection to the office repeater or line terminating unit  
(LTU).  
For manufacture cables of lengths different than those of the standard  
cables provided, see "Nonstandard cables" on "Nonstandard cables" (page  
For the 2.0 Mb NT8D72 PRI card, see Figure 41 "NT8D72(Half Group  
Group and Single Group cabling arrangements applying to the system; also,  
For the 2.0 NT8D72 on a Multi Group arrangement, see Figure 45 "NT8D72

Case Scenarios for replacing a digital trunk NT8D72BA, QPC536E,  
or NTCK43 by a DDP2 card  
The following discussion describes possible scenarios when replacing a  
digital trunk NT8D72BA PRI2 card or QPC536E DTI2 card or NTCK43 Dual  
PRI card configuration with a NT5D97 DDP2 card configuration.  
Case 1 - The two ports of a QPC414 network card are connected to two  
digital trunks.  
In this case, the QPC414 and the two digital trunks are replaced by a single  
DDP2 card, which is plugged into the network shelf in the QPC414 slot.  
Case 2 - One port of the QPC414 card is connected to a digital trunk, and  
the second is connected to a peripheral buffer. Both cards are in a network  
loop location.  
In this case, the QPC414 should not be removed. The digital trunk is  
removed and the DDP2 card is plugged into one of the two empty slots.

NT5D97AA/AB DIP switch settings 129  
Case 3 - The network shelf is full, one port of a QPC414 network card is  
connected to a digital trunk, and the second is connected to a peripheral  
buffer. This arrangement is repeated for another QPC414. The digital trunks  
are located in a shelf that provides only power.  
In this case, the peripheral buffers will have to be reassigned, so that each  
pair of buffers will use both ports of the same QPC414 card. The other  
QPC414 card can then be replaced by the NT5D97 DDP2.  
Note: If an NT8D72BA/NTCK43 card is being replaced by a DDP2  
card, the D-channel Handler can be reconnected to the DDP2 card, or  
removed if an onboard NTBK51DDCH card is used. Also, DIP Switches  
in the NT5D97 must be set properly before insertion. NT5D97 has a  
different DIP Switch setting from NTCK43AB. Refer to "NT5D97AA/AB  
DIP switch settings" (page 129) for DIP switch setting).  
NT5D97AA/AB DIP switch settings  
The NT5D97 DDP2 card is equipped with 6x2 sets of DIP switches for  
trunk parameters settings for port0 and port1 respectively. Additionally,  
the DDP2 card is equipped with one set of four DIP switches for the Ring  
Ground setting. The NT5D97AA/AB has one set of eight DIP switches and  
NT5D97AD has two sets of ten DIP switches for the D-channel Handler  
parameters setting.  
The DIP switches are used for the setting of default values of certain  
parameters. Firmware reads the general purpose switches, which sets the  
default values accordingly.

142 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 installation and removal  
Consider the following when configuring the NT5D97 DDP2 card:  
The system software allows four ports to be defined for the NT6D80  
MSDL. The DDCH (NTBK51AA) card has only two ports, 0 and 1;  
therefore, ports 2 and 3 must not be defined when using the NTBK51AA.  
Port 0 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined to work with Loop 0 of the  
NT5D97 DDP2 card, and Port 1 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined  
to work with Loop 1 of the NT5D97. This relationship must be reflected  
when configuring a new DCH in LD 17 (in response to the DCHL prompt,  
enter either 0 or 1 when specifying the loop number used by the DCH).  
You cannot define one of the DDP2 loops for the NTBK51AA DDCH,  
and the other loop for the NT6D11AF, NT5K75AA, and NT5K35AA DCH  
card or the NT6D80 MSDL.  
When configuring the NT5D97 DDP2 in DTI2 outgoing dial pulse mode,  
a Digit Outpulsing patch is required.

Scenarios for replacement of a digital trunk card (QPC720/QPC472)  
by a DDP card  
The following discussion describes possible scenarios when replacing a  
digital trunk QPC720 PRI card or QPC472 DTI card configuration with a  
NT5D12 DDP card configuration.  
Case 1 - The two ports of a QPC414 network card are connected to two  
digital trunks.  
In this case, the QPC414 and the two digital trunks are replaced by a single  
DDP card, which is plugged into the CE shelf in the QPC414 slot.  
Case 2 - One port of the QPC414 card is connected to a digital trunk,  
and the second is connected to a peripheral buffer. Both cards are in the  
network loop location.  
In this case, the QPC414 should not be removed. The digital trunk is  
removed and the DDP card is plugged into one of the two empty slots.  
Case 3 - The CE shelf is full, one port of a QPC414 network card is  
connected to a digital trunk, and the second is connected to a peripheral  
buffer. This arrangement is repeated for another QPC414. The digital trunks  
are located in a shelf that provides only power.  
In this case, the peripheral buffers will have to be reassigned, so that each  
pair of buffers will use both ports of the same QPC414 card. The other  
QPC414 card can then be replaced by the NT5D12 DDP.

NT5D12 switch settings 145  
Note in all cases - If a QPC720 card is being replaced by a DDP card, the  
D-channel Handler or MSDL can be either reconnected to the DDP card, or  
removed if an onboard NTBK51AA DDCH card is used.  
NT5D12 switch settings  
The NT5D12 card is equipped with 6x2 sets of DIP switches for trunk  
parameters settings for port0 and port1 respectively. Additionally, the  
NT5D12 card is equipped with one set of four DIP switches for the Ring  
Ground setting and one set of eight DIP switches for the D-channel Handler  
parameters setting.  
The DIP switches are used for setting of default values of certain  
parameters. The general purpose switches are read by the firmware which  
sets the default values accordingly.  
The following parameters are being set by the DIP switches. Factory setups  
are shown in bold.  
General Purpose Switches  
A per-trunk set of four DIP switches provides the default setting for  
operational modes. Switch set S9 is used for Trunk 0. Switch set S15 is used

—End—  
Configure the NT5D12 DDP  
After the NT5D12 DDP has been installed, it can be configured using the  
same procedures as for the standard QPC720 PRI card.  
Consider the following when configuring the NT5D12 DDP card:  
The system software allows four ports to be defined for the NT6D80  
MSDL. The DDCH (NTBK51AA) card has only two ports, 0 and 1;  
therefore, ports 2 and 3 must not be defined when using the NTBK51AA.  
Port 0 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined to work with Loop 0 of the  
NT5D12 DDP card, and Port 1 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined  
to work with Loop 1 of the NT5D12. This relationship must be reflected  
when configuring a new DCH in LD 17 (in response to the DCHL prompt,  
enter either 0 or 1 when specifying the loop number used by the DCH).  
You cannot define one of the NT5D12 loops for the NTBK51AA DDCH,  
and the other loop for the QPC757 DCHI or the NT6D80 MSDL.

156 Clock Controller description and installation  
Introduction  
This chapter introduces the NTRB53 Clock Controller, and provides  
procedures on how to install this clock controller on Large Systems.  
The NTRB53 Clock Controller replaces the QPC471H and QPC775F in  
new systems. QPC471H and QPC775F Clock Controllers continue to be  
supported.  
Note: The NTRB53 Clock Controller cannot be combined with a  
QPC775 or a QPC471 card in one system  
The illustrations used in the description section depict a Small System.  
However, the system can also be representative of a Large System.  
Description  
This section provides an overview on the use of clock controllers. For Large  
Systems, the following clock controllers are supported:  
NTRB53  
QPC471  
QPC775  
Note: Clock controllers cannot be mixed in one system.  
The NTRB53 Clock Controller is available for all markets. The QPC471  
Clock Controller is available for U.S. markets. Vintages A through G of the  
QPC471 Clock Controller can be used in one system; vintage H of QPC471  
Clock Controllers cannot be mixed with clock controllers of other vintages.  
The QPC775E Clock Controller card is available for only Canadian and  
International markets.  
Need for synchronization  
Digital trunking requires synchronized clocking so that a shift in one clock  
source will result in an equivalent shift of the same size and direction in all  
parts of the network.  
When digital signals are being transported over a communication link,  
the receiving end must operate at the same frequency (data rate) as  
the originating end to prevent loss of information. This is referred to  
as link synchronization. If both ends of a communication link are not  
in synchronization, data bit slips occur and therefore a loss of data  
results. In general, accurate timing is very important, but more importantly  
synchronized timing is a must for reliable data transfer.

Description 157  
When only two switches are interconnected, synchronization can be  
achieved by operating the two systems in a master/slave mode whereby one  
system derives its timing from the other. However, in a network of digital  
systems, slips can be better prevented by forcing all digital systems to use  
a common reference clock (see Figure 59 "Hierarchical Synchronization"  
Supported Clock Controllers  
For Large Systems, the following clock controllers are supported:  
NTRB53  
QPC471  
QPC775  
NTRB53 Clock Controller  
The NTRB53 Clock Controller is a replacement for the QPC471 and  
QPC775 Clock Controllers. The NTRB53 clock controller retains existing  
functionality.  
Software configuration of the clock remains unchanged. A PSDL object  
allows field upgrades of the clock’s firmware. Overlay changes allow for  
force download and status checking. Support for the IDC command and  
hardware inventory are also included.  
System Initialization During system initialization, the system software will  
verify if the clock controllers equipped in the system are the downloadable  
clock controllers (NTRB53) or not. If the clock controllers are identified as  
the downloadable clock controller cards, then both downloadable clock  
controller cards will be checked for the software version number they are  
running with. This is compared with the version number of the PSDL file  
stored in the system software database.  
If there is a mismatch between the two version numbers and the system  
database has the higher version number, the card will be put in the PSDL  
downloading tree. Once the entry is added in the PSDL tree, the preprocess  
step is done. The next step is for the system to initiate the downloading in  
the background, using the PSDL tree. As soon as the download complete  
message is received from the card, the CPU sends a message to reset the  
clock controller card so that it boots with the new software. Once a self-test  
is complete the core sends an enable base message to enable the card.  
Maintenance Overlays Downloading can be initiated from LD 60 for the  
inactive clock controller card as part of the enabling sequence of the card. A  
download can be forced by specifying the optional parameter FDL (Force  
Download) when enabling the card. At the prompt, enter:

If the optional parameter is not specified, then downloading is conditional.  
This means that the version number of the loadware on the clock controller  
card will be checked against the version number stored on the system disk.  
If a mismatch is found and the version number in the system software  
database is higher, then downloading will be initiated for that card. The entry  
for the card is not added to the PSDL tree at this time. Instead, downloading  
is initiated on a single card and only that card will be allowed to perform  
the force download option.  
QPC471 and QPC775 Clock Controllers  
Clock Controllers QPC471 and QPC775 will continue to function with:  
CS 1000M HG systems  
CS 1000M SG systems  
CS 1000M MG systems  
Note: "Description" (page 156) for market and application availability  
information.  
Synchronization methods  
There are two common methods of operation for maintaining timing  
coordination between switching systems, Plesiosynchronous and  
Mesosynchronous.  
Plesiosynchronous operation  
In a Plesiosynchronous operation, nodal clocks run independently (free run)  
at the same nominal frequency. There are frequency differences between  
clocks resulting in frame slips (see "Frame slip" (page 160).) The magnitude  
of frame slips are directly proportional to the frequency difference. Slips are  
inevitable but can be minimized by using very stable clocks and elastic  
stores or buffers. These buffers are capable of absorbing a certain number  
of data bits to compensate for slight variances in clock frequencies.  
Mesosynchronous operation  
In a Mesosynchronous operation, nodal clocks are continuously and  
automatically locked to an external reference clock. With this method, frame  
slips can be eliminated if elastic stores are large enough to compensate for  
transmission variances. Mesosynchronous operation is virtually slip free.  
Whenever possible the system uses the Mesosynchronous mode of  
operation by using the clock controller circuit cards to lock onto an external  
reference source (such as the Central Office, another PBX, and so on).  
This statement is true unless the system is used as a Master in an  
independent/private network (no digital links to a higher Node Category).

In a digital network, nodes are synchronized using a priority master/slave  
method. Digital nodes are ranked in Stratum levels 1 to 5. Each node is  
synchronized to the highest ranking node in its neighborhood with which it

Frame slip  
Digital signals must have accurate clock synchronization for data to  
be interleaved into or extracted from the appropriate timeslot during  
multiplexing and demultiplexing operations. A Frame Slip is defined (for 2  
Mbyte links) as the repetition of, or deletion of the 256 data bits of a CEPT  
frame due to a sufficiently large discrepancy in the read and write rates at  
the buffer (clocks are not operating at exactly the same speed).  
When data bits are written into (added to) a buffer at a slightly higher rate  
than that at which they are being read (emptied), sooner or later the buffer  
overflows This is a slip-frame deletion.  
In the opposite situation, when data bits are written (added) into a buffer  
at slightly lower rate than that at which they are being read (emptied),  
eventually the buffer runs dry or underflows. This is also a slip-frame  
repetition.

Description 161  
A 1.5 Mbyte PRI contains a buffer large enough to hold about 2 full DS-1  
frames (193 x 2 = 386). A 2 Mbyte PRI contains a buffer large enough to  
contain 2 full frames (256 x 2 = 512 bits). The buffer is normally kept half  
full (1 frame).  
Slippage has impact on the data being transferred, as is shown in Table 63  
degradations shown in the table can be controlled or avoided with proper  
clock synchronization.

Guidelines  
Some key points to keep in mind when designing Network Synchronization:  
Where possible, the Master Clock Source should always be from a Node  
Category/Stratum with higher clock accuracy, that is, a PBX connected to  
the Central Office (CO.) The CO is the Master and the PBX is the Slave.  
The source should not be in free-run itself (providing its own clock)  
unless it is operating in a fully independent network where the source  
acts as a Master (see "Plesiosynchronous operation" (page 158).)  
When connecting two PBXs together (no CO connections), the most  
reliable PBX should be the Master. Reliability here refers to Dual  
CPU/Dual Clock, battery back-up or stratum level of the clock controller.  
Avoid timing loops. A timing loop occurs when a clock using as its  
reference frequency a signal that it itself traceable to the output of that  
clock. The formation of such a closed timing loop leads to frequency  
instability and is not permitted. Timing loops are sometimes unavoidable  
on the secondary clock reference source.  
Ensure all CO/PBX links used as clock references have a traceable path  
back to the same stratum 1 clock source.

While it is beyond the scope of this discussion to provide detailed Network  
Synchronization, the following examples illustrate some of the basic  
concepts to achieve stable clocking.

Example 1, Isolated Private Network  
In this example, there is no digital connection to the Central Office.  
Figure 61  
Example 2, Isolated Private Network with Secondary Reference Clock  
In this example, there is no digital connection to the Central Office. For tie  
lines between PBXs facilitated by a central office, clocking is derived from  
the PBX, not the CO. When a second Digital loop is available, it can be used  
as a Secondary Clock source in case the Primary Source fails.

becomes available, it can be used as a Secondary Clock Source in case the  
Primary Source fails.

Example 4, Alternate Clocking from the same CO  
In this case, a digital connection to the Central Office can exist (i.e. Loops X  
and Y). When a second Digital loop from the CO or Master M-1 becomes  
available, it can be used as a Secondary Clock Source in case the Primary  
Source fails.  
To avoid timing loops, in example 4-4 the most reliable slave system should  
not have a Secondary Clock Source (SREF= <cr>). In this example, this is  
illustrated by the node which supports loops X and Z.

Example 7, Network Clocking with MUX  
In this example, the direct connection to the CO (without a MUX) should be  
used as a primary clock reference because this is where the least amount of  
hardware is involved. The MUX must pass the clock and not generate its  
own clock; in other words, it must be a slave (not Free Run). Synchronized  
clocking is required.  
Modes of operation  
There are two modes of operation, tracking mode and free run (non-tracking)  
mode.  
Tracking mode  
In tracking mode, the Primary Rate Interface (PRI) or Digital Trunk Interface  
(DTI) loop supplies an external clock reference to the onboard clock  
controller. Two PRI or DTI packs can operate in tracking mode, with one  
defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other  
defined as a secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts as  
a back-up to the primary reference.

168 Clock Controller description and installation  
Free run (non-tracking) mode  
The clock synchronization for a PRI loop can operate in free-run mode if:  
the loop is not defined as the primary or secondary clock reference  
the primary and secondary references are disabled  
the primary and secondary references are in a local alarm state  
Small System Clock Controller daughterboard  
The Small System supports a single onboard clock controller daughterboard,  
the NTAK20, located on either:  
the NTRB21 1.5 Mbyte DTI/PRI card  
the NTAK09 1.5 DTI/PRI card  
the NTAK10 2 Mbyte DTI card  
the NTAK79 2 Mbyte PRI card  
the NTBK50 2 Mbyte PRI card  
The clock controller circuitry synchronizes to an external reference clock and  
generates and distributes the clock to the system. This enables the system  
to function either as a slave to an external clock or as a clocking master.  
Note: When configuring ISL over analog trunks, clock controllers are  
not required.

ISL installation  
Contents  
The section contains information on the following topics:  
ISL configurations  
The ISDN Signaling Link (ISL) is used on PRI/DTI connections. The ISL  
feature operates in two modes, shared and dedicated.  
Shared mode  
The DCHI supports ISDN PRI signaling for both PRI and ISL trunks.  
Dedicated mode  
In this mode, the DCHI supports ISL trunks using ISDN PRI signaling. The  
D-channel communicates with the far end using a dedicated leased line,  
dialup modem, or DTI trunk.

184 ISL installation  
Dedicated mode using dialup modem  
In this configuration, the DCHI or MSDL is connected to a modem which is  
connected to a 500 set line card. See Figure 73 "ISL dedicated mode, using  
dialup Hayes Smartmodem 2400" (page 186). The call is connected to the  
far end through the analog (500/2500 type set) -to-TIE trunk path.  
To set up the D-channel, program the modem at one end in the autodial  
mode, so it automatically initiates a call to the other end at power up. The  
autodial DN must be coordinated with personnel at the far end switch.  
Install a modem for ISL applications  
The modem software and hardware must be installed sequentially. The  
modem software must be defined before the hardware connection between  
the modem and the system can be made. Within the software installation,  
either the autodial or the auto-answer software can be set up first. Figure  
184) shows the hardware configuration between two PBXs and their  
corresponding modems.

correction. The following data rates are also supported: 1.2 Kbps, 2.4 Kbps,  
3.6 Kbps, 4.8 Kbps, 7.2 Kbps, 14.4 Kbps, 19.2 Kbps, 38.4 Kbps, and 56  
Kbps for ASIM. The High Speed Data Module (HSDM) supports 64 Kbps.  
Note 1: This configuration is the least reliable due to the lockup  
problems inherent in Smart Modems from power splices and noisy lines.  
To increase the reliability on this configuration, a constant power source  
can be used when powering the modems. Also ensure that the TIE  
lines meet data grade specifications.

200 1.5 Mb PRI implementation  
Note: Clocking slips can occur between systems that are clocked from  
different COs, if the COs are not synchronized. The slips can degrade  
voice quality.  
The Clock Controller circuitry synchronizes the system to an external  
reference clock, and generates and distributes the clock to the system. A  
Small System can function either as a slave to an external clock or as a  
clocking master.  
The NTAK20AA version of the clock controller meets AT&T Stratum 3 and  
Bell Canada Node Category D specifications. The NTAK20BA version  
meets CCITT stratum 4 specifications.  
Clocking modes  
The system supports a single clock controller that can operate in one of two  
modes - tracking or non-tracking (also known as free-run).  
Tracking mode In tracking mode, one or possibly two DTI/PRI cards  
supply a clock reference to a clock controller daughterboard. One DTI/PRI  
is defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, while  
the other is defined as the secondary reference source (PREF and SREF in  
LD 73).  
There are two stages to clock controller tracking, as follows:  
tracking a reference  
locked onto a reference  
When tracking a reference, the clock controller uses an algorithm to match  
its frequency to the frequency of the incoming clock. When the frequencies  
are very nearly matched, the clock controller locks onto the reference. The  
clock controller makes small adjustments to its own frequency until incoming  
and system frequencies correspond.  
If the incoming clock reference is stable, the internal clock controller tracks  
it, locks onto it, and matches frequencies exactly. Occasionally, however,  
environmental circumstances cause the external or internal clocks to drift.  
When this happens, the internal clock controller briefly enters the tracking  
stage. The green LED flashes momentarily until the clock controller locks  
onto the reference once again.  
If the incoming reference is unstable, the internal clock controller is  
continuously in the tracking stage, with the LED flashing green all the time.  
This condition does not present a problem, instead it shows that the clock  
controller is continually attempting to lock onto the signal. However, if slips  
are occurring, there is a problem with the clock controller or the incoming  
line.

Hardware description 201  
Free-run (non-tracking) In free-run mode, the clock controller does not  
synchronize on any source, it provides its own internal clock to the system.  
This mode can be used when the system is used as a master clock source  
for other systems in the network. Free-run mode is undesirable if the system  
is intended to be a slave. It can occur, however, when both the primary and  
secondary clock sources are lost due to hardware faults, or when invoked  
by using software commands.  
Shelf slot assignment  
For cabinet systems, the NTAK09 DTI/PRI card can be placed in main and  
expansion cabinets in any single card slot given in Table 74 "Shelf slot  
Note: For CISPR B group cabinets, the active Clock Controller  
(NTAK20) can only occupy slots 1-3, 11-13, 21-23, 31-33, or 41-43 in  
an Option 11C cabinet. For FCC and/or CISPR A group cabinets, this  
limitation does not exist.  
On non-CISPR B system cabinets, the NTAK20 can be placed in slots 1-9 of  
the Option 11C main cabinet. On cabinets NTAK11Dx and NTAK11Fx, the  
active NTAK20 must be placed in slots 1-3 (slots 4-10 cannot be used.)  
On non-CISPR B IP expansion cabinets, the NTAK20 can be placed in slots  
11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth expansion  
cabinets, respectively.  
Clock controller LED states  
The clock controller LED, on the NTAK09 or NTRB21 faceplates, is in  
various states depending on the status of the clock controller.

over an extended period of time, check the CC STAT in

state. Check for slips and related clock controller error  
conditions. If none exist, then this state is acceptable,  
and the flashing is identifying jitter on the reference.

SDI I/O addresses 0 to 79 and port 1.  
Note: I/O addresses 0, 1, 2, 8 and 9 are preconfigured on the Small  
System and must not conflict with the I/O addresses on the NTAK93  
card.  
A minimum of one NTAK93 is required for each PRI link. If more than one  
PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DCHI circuit card can  
support up to a maximum of sixteen PRI connections for the Small System.

Install the NTAK02 in any available slot 1-10 of the Option  
11C Cabinet or slot 11-14 of Media Gateway 1.  
Install the NTAK19BA four-port cable on the 50-pin Amphenol  
connector associated with the slot the NTAK02 is installed in.  
If the installation is a dedicated mode using leased line modem  
configuration, the D-channel connects the DCHI with the far-end  
modem over a dedicated leased line. The modems must have a  
minimum transmission rate of 2400 baud and must support leased  
line capability and synchronous mode, 2-wire or 4-wire operation.  
Modems such as Ventel 2400 Plus II can be used. You must specify  
4-wire operation when ordering. Otherwise, the modem is factory  
shipped for 2-wire operation.  
Note: The Hayes Smart modem 2400 cannot be used on leased  
lines.

6
If the installation is a dedicated mode using dialup modem (such as  
Hayes 2400, Ventel 2400 or Gandalf 2400) configuration, the DCHI is  
connected to a modem that is connected to a 500 set line card. The  
call is connected to the far-end via the 500 set-to-TIE Trunk path.  
Note: Dedicated mode using leased line modems is the  
preferred method.  
Set up the D-channel. Configure the modem at one end in the  
autodial mode so it automatically initiates a call to the other end at  
power-up. The autodial number must be coordinated with the far-end  
switch. The originating modem must have this autodial number  
stored internally as part of the modem configuration routine. The  
far-end modem must be configured for auto-answer.

232 1.5 Mb ISL implementation  
Basic ISL implementation  
Implement dedicated mode  
basic ISL capability. It applies to analog TIE Trunks that are used as  
B-channels. When DTI/PRI trunks are also used, LD 17 digital loop (DLOP)  
and LD 73 (digital data block-DDB) must also be configured with the  
appropriate clocking and threshold settings.  
The DCHI in this case uses the NTAK02 circuit card and does not support  
ISDN PRI signaling. The DCHI is reserved for ISL use only. The D-channel  
can communicate with the far-end by means of a dedicated leased line  
modem or dialup modem.  
For ISL dedicated mode using a dialup modem, a 500 set, TIE Trunk route  
and member have to be configured (used for D-channel).  
Configuring dedicated mode involves four major steps:

Figure 82  
2.0 Mb DTI cabling  
NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card  
The 2.0 Mb DTI card provides the physical interface for the digital E-1  
carrier on the system. The card includes an onboard clock controller and is  
installed in slots 1 through 9 in the Option 11C Cabinet. On IP Expansion  
cabinets, it is placed in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second,  
third, and fourth expansion cabinets, respectively.  
The NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card is also used for ISL shared mode applications.  
For information on the NTAK10 faceplate LEDs, refer to ISDN Primary Rate  
Interface Maintenance (NN43001-717).  
Install DTI hardware  
The NTAK10 circuit card is installed in card slot 1-9 in the Option 11C  
Cabinet. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed in slots 11-19, 21-29,  
31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth expansion cabinets,  
respectively.  
It is not supported in the Media Gateway Expansion. Up to four digital trunk  
cards are supported in each Media Gateway. The NTAK10 card is installed  
in Slots 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Media Gateway.  
ATTENTION  
IMPORTANT!  
Each Media Gateway that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller set to  
an external reference clock.

Install DTI hardware 239  
Inspect the NTAK10 circuit card  
Inspect the circuit card before installing it in the Option 11C Cabinet or  
Media Gateway:  
Locate the NTAK10 2.0 Mb circuit card and carefully remove it from its  
packaging.  
Inspect the circuit card for any visible damage that occurred during  
shipping.  
Set the switches  
The NTAK10 incorporates four surface mounted dip switches. The following  
tables provide information on the various settings and related functions of  
these switches.  
Note: The ON position for all the switches is toward the bottom of the  
card. This is indicated by a white dot printed on the board adjacent to  
the bottom left corner of each individual switch.  
Set the switches on the circuit card according to the requirements of your  
installation.

Note: Prompted for Small Systems.  
The following prompts and associated responses define the grade of service  
timers for the DTI card. Group I problems are treated individually. They are  
bipolar violations, bit error rate (frame alignment) slips, and CRC-4 errors.  
Group II problems are treated as a group. They are bit 3 of TS0 (far-end  
out of service), bit 6 of TS16 (far-end lost multiframe alignment), AIS (alarm  
indication signal), loss of frame alignment, and loss of multiframe alignment.  
Responses are interpreted as follows:  
mt = Maintenance threshold time.  
ct = New call suppression (hardware service removal) threshold time.  
ot = Out of service threshold time.  
dt = No new data calls suppression threshold time.  
Each of the response times are expressed as follows:  
nnnY = time in milliseconds where nnnn = 20-5000 (input to nearest  
20 milliseconds.)  
nnnS = time in seconds where nnn = 1-240  
nnnM = time in minutes where nnn = 1-240  
nnH = time in hours where nn = 1-24

2.0 Mb PRI cards  
Two PRI cards are available on the system:  
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card  
NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card  
The difference between the two PRI cards is that the NTBK50, when  
equipped with the NTBK51 D-channel daughterboard, can download  
software onto the card. This feature is based on the MSDL platform and

Hardware description 259  
essentially replaces the D-channel circuit on the NTAK79 PRI card. (The  
NTAK79 PRI card does not support the NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel  
handler daughterboard.)  
A second difference between the NTAK79 and NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI cards  
is that the NTAK79 has an onboard clock controller while the NTBK50  
supports the NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard.  
Note: If the NTAK93 D-channel daughterboard is attached to the  
NTBK50 PRI card instead of the NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel  
daughterboard, the NTBK50 PRI card functions in the same manner  
as the NTAK79 PRI card.  
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card  
The 2.0 Mb Primary Rate Interface card provides the physical interface for  
the digital E-1 carrier on the system. The card includes an onboard clock  
controller and onboard D-channel handler. It is installed in slots 1-9 in the  
main cabinet. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed in slots 11-19, 21-29,  
31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth expansion cabinets,  
respectively.  
For information on the NTAK79 faceplate LEDs, refer to ISDN Primary Rate  
Interface Maintenance (NN43001-717).  
NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card  
The 2.0 Mb Primary Rate Interface card provides the physical interface for  
the digital E-1 carrier on the system. The card is installed in slots 1-9 in the  
main cabinet or Media Gateway. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed  
in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth  
expansion cabinets, respectively.  
ATTENTION  
IMPORTANT!  
Each Media Gateway that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller set to  
an external reference clock.  
Note: Clocking slips can occur between Media Gateway systems that  
are clocked from different COs, if the COs are not synchronized. The  
slips can degrade voice quality.  
The NTBK50 supports the following clock controller and D-channel handler  
daughterboards:  
NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard  
NTAK93 D-channel handler daughterboard, or NTBK51 Downloadable  
D-channel daughterboard.

260 2.0 Mb PRI implementation  
If the NTAK93 D-channel daughterboard is attached, the NTBK50 PRI card  
functions in the same manner as the NTAK79 PRI card. If the NTBK51  
D-channel daughterboard is attached, software is downloaded to the card  
instead of residing in a D-channel circuit.  
For information on the NTBK50 faceplate LEDs, refer to ISDN Primary Rate  
Interface Maintenance (NN43001-717).  
NTAK20 Clock Controller (CC) daughterboard  
The NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard is used with the NTBK50 2.0  
Mb PRI card. The NTAK79 PRI card has an onboard clock controller.  
Digital Trunking requires synchronized clocking so that a shift in one clock  
source results in an equivalent shift of the same size and direction in all  
parts of the network. On systems, synchronization is accomplished with the  
NTAK20 clock controller circuit card.  
ATTENTION  
IMPORTANT!  
Every Small System cabinet or Media Gateway that contains a digital trunk must  
contain a clock controller. If a Small System is equipped with digital trunks, Nortel  
recommends that at least one digital trunk is placed in the Small System main  
cabinet.  
The Clock Controller circuitry synchronizes the system to an external  
reference clock, and generates and distributes the clock to the system. The  
system can function either as a slave to an external clock or as a clocking  
master. The NTAK20AB version of the clock controller meets AT&T Stratum  
3 and Bell Canada Node Category D specifications. The NTAK20BB version  
meets CCITT stratum 4 specifications.  
Shelf slot assignment  
On non-CISPR B system cabinets, the NTAK20 is placed in slots 1-9. On  
cabinets NTAK11Dx and NTAK11Fx, the active NTAK20 is placed in slots  
1-3 (slots 4-10 cannot be used.) On IP Expansion cabinets, the NTAK20  
is placed in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and  
fourth expansion cabinets, respectively.  
NTAK93 D-Channel Handler Interface (DCHI) daughterboard  
The NTAK93 DCHI daughterboard interfaces with the system Central  
Processing Unit (CPU) and mounts on the NTBK50 PRI card for PRI (but not  
ISL) applications. The equivalent circuit resides onboard the NTAK79 2.0 Mb  
PRI card. The DTI/PRI digital trunk card is installed in the Media Gateway.  
Digital trunk cards are not supported in Media Gateway Expansions.

Install the NTAK79 PRI card 261  
The DCHI is responsible for performing the Q.921 layer 2 protocol  
information. It transfers layer 3 signaling information between two adjacent  
network switches.  
The NTAK93 DCH daughterboard, when installed on the NTBK50 circuit  
card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTBK50.  
A minimum of one NTAK93 is required for each PRI link. If more than one  
PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DCHI circuit card can  
support up to a maximum of sixteen PRI connections for the system. This  
allows for the support of 495 B-Channels or PRI trunks.  
NTBK51 Downloadable D-Channel (DDCH) daughterboard  
The NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard interfaces with the system Central  
Processing Unit (CPU) and mounts on the NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card  
for PRI D-Channel applications.  
Digital trunk cards are not supported in Media Gateway Expansions.  
The DDCH is equivalent to the MSDL card on larger systems, but it only  
supports D-channel applications (no SDI or ESDI).  
The NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard, when installed on the NTBK50 circuit  
card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTBK50.  
A minimum of one NTBK51 is required for each PRI link. If more than one  
PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DDCH circuit card  
can support up to a maximum of 16 PRI connections for the system. This  
enables support for 495 B-channels or PRI trunks.  
Install the NTAK79 PRI card

2.0 Mb ISL implementation  
Contents  
This section contains information on the following topics:  
Overview  
This chapter provides the information required to implement ISL on the  
system including:  
hardware and software installation  
implementation of components needed to provide basic call service  
ISDN features are treated separately in the chapter devoted to ISDN feature  
implementation.  
This chapter assumes that ESN implementation is already in place. It also  
assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of NARS and CDP.  
Two modes of ISL are available: shared and dedicated. This chapter covers  
ISL installation in dedicated mode using dedicated and leased lines. Shared  
mode installations are done according to the instructions supplied for PRI,  
with the noted exceptions.  
ISL hardware requirements  
ISL, regardless of the operation mode, uses analog or digital TIE lines as  
B-channels.

Procedure 43  
Setting up the D-channel  
Step Action  
1
If this is a dedicated mode installation using leased line modems,  
the D-channel connects the DCHI with the far-end modem over a  
dedicated leased line. Synchronous modems with a minimum 2400  
baud data rate must be configured. Modems must support leased  
line capability and synchronous mode. The Hayes Smartmodem  
2400 cannot be used on leased lines.

288 2.0 Mb ISL implementation  
If this a dedicated mode using dialup modems, modems such as  
Hayes 2400, Ventel 2400 or Gandalf 2400 can be used. In this  
configuration, the DCHI connects to a modem which is connected  
to a 500 set line card. The call connects to the far-end through the  
500 set-to-TIE trunk path.  
Program the modem at one end in the autodial mode, so it  
automatically initiates a call to the other end at power up. The  
autodial number must be coordinated with the far-end switch. The  
originating modem has this autodial number stored internally as part  
of the modem configuration routine.  
The far-end modem need only be setup for auto-answer.  
—End—  
ISL software implementation  
There are two modes of ISDN Signaling Link (ISL) operation, shared mode  
and dedicated mode.  
Shared mode  
The NTAK79 onboard DCHI supports ISDN PRI signaling and ISL trunks.  
The configuration is basically the same as the PRI D-channel, with the  
D-channel also supporting ISL trunks.  
The DTI/PRI software implementation sequence can be used (refer to the  
appropriate chapters for more information) with the following exceptions.

ISL software implementation 289  
Dedicated mode  
The DCHI uses the NTAK02 circuit card and does not support ISDN PRI  
signaling. The DCHI is reserved for ISL use only. The D-channel can  
communicate with the far-end by means of a dedicated leased line modem  
or dialup modem.  
Note that the following implementation relates to analogue TIE trunks being  
used as B-channels. In the case where DTI/PRI trunks are also used, then  
LD 17 digital loop (2.0 Mb PRI) and LD73 (2.0 Mb PRI/SYTI) must also be  
configured with the appropriate clocking and threshold settings.  
For ISL dedicated mode using a dialup modem, a 500 set, TIE trunk  
route and member must be programmed (used for D-channel). Table 106
