The Model 2715 DIP switches (Switches SW1 - SW8) can be con-
figured as either “On” or “Off”. Figure 2 (below) shows the orientation
of the DIP switches with respect to ON/OFF positions.
High Density Bipolar 3 (HDB3): In HDB3 coding, the transmitter
deliberately inserts a bipolar violation when excessive zeros
in the data stream are detected. The receiver recognizes
these special violations and decodes them as zeros. This
method enables the network to meet minimum pulse density
requirements. Use HDB3 unless AMI is required in your
application .
ON
Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI): AMI coding does not inherently
account for ones density. To meet this requirement, the user
should ensure that the data inherently meets pulse density
requirements.
OFF

Switch SW2: CAS Multiframe
UNFRAMED (G.703)

Clock Mode
The Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) multiframe uses Timeslot 16
(TS16) to send multiframe (MF) alignment data. In CAS MF, a multi-
frame is defined as 16 frames, where a frame consists of 32 64kb/s
timeslots, numbered 0 to 31. TS16 of the first frame in the MF contains
the CAS MF alignment word in the upper four bits. The alignment word
is always 0000 (binary). The 2715 does not perform any signaling in
TS16 other than to insert the MF alignment word, in order to maintain
MF alignment. When CAS MF disabled, the unit transmits user data in
TS16; therefore, up to 31 channels are available for user data. When it
is enabled, TS16 is not available to the user. In this case, the user can
use up to 30 channels for data. CAS MF can be used with CRC-4 MF
or by itself. When enabled, both units must employ CAS MF; if one unit
is set for CAS MF, and the other is not, the one using CAS MF will
detect a loss of sync.

and the other end must be configured for network clock mode.
Switch SW3 & SW4: CRC-4 Multiframe/Clock mode
In framed mode, SW3 is used for CRC-4 MF. CRC-4 Multiframe uses
Time Slot zero to carry CRC-4 information. It operates independently of
CAS MF. When CRC-4 is enabled, the unit monitors the incoming data
stream for CRC-4 errors. It transmits CRC-4 error counts to the trans-
mitting unit. Excessive errors may cause loss of frame or loss of sync.
If CRC-4 MF is used, both units must be set for set for CRC-4 MF.
Otherwise, the one using CRC-4 MF will detect loss of sync.

In unframed mode, SW3 is used to along with SW4 to determine the
clock mode. In unframed mode, the model 2715 can be set to network,
internal or external clock mode. This is done by setting both SW3 and
SW4 to the on position.
In framed mode SW4 is used alone to determine the 2715 transmitter
timing. The 2715 can be set to Network or Internal clock.

NOTE: When the data rate is set to 2.048Mb/s, then the unit is
forced into G.703 mode, and it transmits user data on all 32
timeslots. There is no framing information; therefore, the CAS MF
(SW2)and CRC-4 (SW3) switches are ignored. In all other rate
settings, the unit employs G.704 framing; TS0 is reserved for
signaling.

Line Coding: HDB3 (default)
3.2.2 System Configuration
Options: AMI, HDB3
The System Configuration menu looks like this:
HDB3: In this line coding, the transmitter substitutes a deliberate
bipolar violation when excessive zeros in the data stream are
detected. The receiver recognizes these special violations and
decodes them as zeros. This method enables the network to
meet minimum pulse density requirements. Unless AMI is
required in your application, HDB3 should be used whenever
possible.
AMI: Alternate Mark Inversion defines a pulse as a "mark,” a
binary one, as opposed to a zero. In a E1 network connection,
signals are transmitted as a sequence of ones and zeros.
Ones are sent as pulses, and zeros are sent as spaces, i.e.,
no pulse. Every other pulse is inverted from the previous
pulse in polarity, so that the signal can be effectively transmit-
ted. This means, however, that a long sequence of zeros in
the data stream will cause problems, since the NTU receiving
the signal relies on the signal to recover the 2.048 Mb/s clock.
If you must use AMI, you should ensure that the data terminal
equipment connected to the unit provides a minimally accept-
able pulse density. For this reason, there are advantages to
using HDB3 instead.
The System Configuration options are described below:
Line Format: G.703 (default)
a
Options: G.703, G.704
G.703: G.703 is unframed, 2.048Mb/s. In this case, the DTE rate
is equal to the line rate at the network interface (NI). CAS MF
and CRC-4 are disabled.
G.704: G.704 reserves TS0 for signaling and frame alignment.
Maximum data rate depends on whether CAS MF is enabled
or not.

Clocking: Network (default)
CAS MF Setting: Disabled (default)
Options: Network, Internal, External
Options: Enabled, Disabled
Network: This is the most commonly used setting when connect-
ing to a carrier’s network. In this mode, the unit recovers the
clock from the received signal and uses it to transmit data. In
this way the unit remains synchronized to a master clock. In
campus applications, one of the units must be set to Internal
clock, and the other end is set to Network clock. At all times,
there must be only one clock source. Otherwise, clock slips
and framing errors and bit errors may occur.
CAS MF: CAS multiframe uses Timeslot 16 (TS16) to send multi-
frame (MF) alignment data. In CAS MF, a MF is defined as 16
frames, where a frame consists of 32 64kb/s timeslots, num-
bered 0 to 31. TS16 of the first frame in the MF contains the
CAS MF alignment word in the upper four bits. The alignment
word is always 0000 (binary). The 2715 does not perform any
signaling in TS16 other than to insert the MF alignment word,
in order to maintain MF alignment. When CAS MF disabled,
the unit transmits user data in TS16; therefore, up to 31 chan-
nels are available for user data. When it is enabled, TS16 is
not available to the user. In this case, the user can use up to
30 channels for data. CAS MF can be used with CRC-4 MF or
by itself. When enabled, both units must employ CAS MF; if
one unit is set for CAS MF, and the other is not, the one using
CAS MF will detect a loss of sync.
Internal: This is commonly used in campus applications, where
the unit is not connected to the public telephone network
directly. In this mode, the unit uses the on-board oscillator as
the transmit clock source.
External: This is a special mode that can only be used with the
Unframed format. In this mode, the unit requires a 2.048 Mhz
clock signal from the DTE via the external clock pin on the
DTE interface connector. Most applications will use Network
or Internal clock modes.
i
V.54 Loops: Enabled (default)
Options: Enabled, Disabled
This is a special in-band loopback facility that sends a special pseudo-
random pattern over the data stream. This is the only loopback that the
unit can initiate. This is useful for campus applications when you need
to put a remote unit in loopback. The unit responds to the V.54 loop-
back command, and the whole process takes only a few seconds to
complete. When V.54 Loopback is disabled, the unit will not be able to
send or respond to V.54 loopback commands. The duration of the loop-
back is limited by the loopback timeout setting. While V.54 is being
activated, user data is overwritten.
f
CRC-4 Setting: Disabled (default)
Options: Enabled, Disabled
CRC-4 Multiframe: CRC-4 Multiframe uses TS0 to carry CRC-4
information. It operates independently of CAS MF. When
CRC-4 is enabled, the unit monitors the incoming data stream
for CRC-4 errors. It transmits CRC-4 error counts to the trans-
mitting unit . Excessive errors may cause loss of frame or loss
of sync. If CRC-4 MF is used, both units must be set for CRC-
4 MF; otherwise, the one using CRC-4 MF will detect a loss of
sync.
j
Default Config Source: Switch (default)
Options: EEPROM, Switch
The Model 2715 can be initialized via the configuration in the on-board
permanent memory (EEPROM) or via the internal DIP switches
(Switch). Once the unit is powered up, you may change the settings
through the control port or the DIP switches. When you make changes
through the control port, no changes will take place or be saved to per-
manent memory until you Save Changes (Main Menu option "d" +
[Enter]). When you make changes through the switches, all changes
are made immediately.

If you do not have a terminal, you may force the unit to use the DIP
switches as the default configuration source by turning off the unit, set-
ting all the DIP switches to the ON position, then powering on the unit.
This will cause the unit to enter a special mode. Then turn off the unit
and change the switch settings to the desired settings. When you turn
the unit on again, the unit will be set up with the selected switch set-
tings.

Password
The Password facility provides security by allowing only those who
know the correct password to configure the unit via the control port.
You can still configure the unit via the DIP switches. The password can
be up to 16 characters long, with no restriction on the combination of
characters you can use, so be sure to remember the password. The
password is case sensitive. If you lose your password, you will lose the
ability to access the unit via the control port.

5.0 OPERATION
4.3 POWER CONNECTION
Once the Model 2715 is installed and configured properly it is ready
to place into operation. This section describes the function of the LED
indicators, and the use of the loopback and pattern test modes.
The Model 2715 offers three ways to supply external power: AC
power, DC power and interface power.
4.3.1 Using the AC Power Supply (100-240VAC)
5.1 LED DESCRIPTIONS
The Model 2715 uses a 5VDC, 2A universal input 100-240VAC,
power supply (center pin is +5V). The universal input power supply is
equipped with a male IEC-320 power entry connector. This power sup-
ply connects to the Model 2715 by means of a barrel jack on the rear
panel. There are a variety of international power cords available for
the universal power supply. The Model 2715 powers up as soon as it
is plugged into an AC outlet–there is no power switch.
The Model 2715 is equipped with seven LED indicators that moni-
tor the status of communication. Figure 4 (below) shows the location
of the LEDs on the Model 2715 front panel.
4.3.2 Supplying DC Power
The 36-60 VDC DC to DC adapter is supplied with the DC version
of the Model 2715. The black and red leads plug into a DC source
(nominal 48VDC) and the barrel power connector plugs into the barrel
power supply jack on the 2715.

4.3.3 Supplying Power via pin KK
You may also supply DC power directly to pin KK of the V.35 inter-
face. DC Power supplied to pin KK must be +5VDC ± 5%, 300mA
minimum.

TXD
RXD
When the unit sends a one, the TXD LED is
turned on. When it sends a zero, the TXD
LED is turned off. Moreover, the TXD LED
is active only in active DS0 channels. In
inactive channels, the TXD LED is off.
NOTE: Model 2715 is factory configured to accept power from the
enclosed DC wall adapter (See Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 above).
If you wish to supply power via pin KK on the interface, you must
change the setting of the power supply jumper on the printed cir-
cuit board See Appendix E. All power sources must be SELV
(Circuit, Safety Extra Low Voltage) specified. (See CENELEC
EN60950, Section 1.2.8.5)
When the unit receives a one, the RXD LED
is turned on. When it receives a zero, the
RXD LED is turned off. Moreover, the RXD
LED is active only in active DS0 channels.
In inactive channels, the RXD LED is off.

LOS
ALM
The Loss of Sync LED lights when the unit
loses synchronization with the incoming sig-
nal. This may happen when there is a fram-
ing mismatch or a loss of signal. In
unframed mode, the LOS LED monitors the
status of the transmit clock.
5.2 LOOP (V.54 & TELCO) DIAGNOSTICS
The Model 2715 offers three V.54 loop diagnostics. Use these
diagnostics to test the NTU and any communication links. These tests
can be activated via the software control port (See Section 3.2.3
System Diagnostics) or via signals on the serial port interface.
5.2.1 Operating Local Loopback (LL)
The alarm LED indicates the presence of a
AIS or RAI, or Out of Frame condition. The
ALM LED will blink on every half-second.
Alarms may occur due to:
The Local Loopback (LL) test checks the operation of the local
Model 2715, and is performed separately on each unit. Any data sent
to the local Model 2715 in this test mode will be echoed (returned)
back to the user device (i.e., characters typed on the keyboard of a ter-
minal will appear on the terminal screen).
• Loss of Synchronization
• Loss of Frame
• AIS (Blue Alarm)
• RAI (Yellow Alarm)
To perform a LL test, follow these steps:
1. Activate LL. This may be done in one of two ways:
ERR
The error LED indicates various error condi-
tions, including framing bit errors, excessive
zeros, controlled slips, severe errors, or bit
errors (when sending V.52 test patterns).
When sending a test pattern, the LED will
remain lit if the unit does not receive the
identical pattern. When it receives the cor-
rect pattern, the LED will turn off. If error
insertion is on, the LED will blink once a
second if everything is operating properly.
a
a. Enter
Diagnostics/Statistics menu and toggle the <Spacebar>
until “LL” appears next to the Local Loop option.
Local Loop from the System
a
b. Activate the “LL” signal on the DTE. If you are not sure
which lead is the “LL” signal, please refer to Appendix D.
2. Verify that the data terminal equipment is operating properly
and can be used for a test.
3. Perform a V.52 BER (bit error rate) test as described in
Section 5.3.3. If the BER test equipment indicates no faults,
but the data terminal indicates a fault, follow the manufactur-
er’s checkout procedures for the data terminal. Also, check
the interface cable between the terminal and the Model 2715.
TST
The test indicator LED blinks with a specific
pattern depending on the type of test mode.
When the unit is in local analog loop, the
LED will blink on briefly. When the unit is in
remote loop, the TST LED will blink off
briefly. When the unit is sending a test pat-
tern or is putting the remote unit into V.54
loopback, the TST LED will stay on. These
are the test modes:
5.2.2 Operating Remote Digital Loopback (RDL)
The Remote Digital Loopback (RDL) test checks the performance
of both the local and remote Model 2715, as well as the communica-
tion link between them. Any characters sent to the remote Model 2715
in this test mode will be returned back to the originating device (i.e,
characters typed on the keyboard of the local terminal will appear on
the local terminal screen after having been passed to the remote
Model 2715 and looped back).
• V.54 Loopback & V.52 Patterns
PWR
The power indicator LED will remain lit while
the unit is powered. It turns off when the
unit is not powered.

To perform an RDL test, follow these steps:
5.3 BIT ERROR RATE (V.52) DIAGNOSTICS
1. Activate RDL. This may be done in two ways:
The Model 2715 offers three V.52 Bit Error Rate (BER) test pat-
terns. These test patterns may be invoked along with the LAL and
RDL tests to evaluate the unit(s) and the communication links.
b
a. Enter
Remote Loop from the System
Diagnostics/Statistics menu and toggle the <Spacebar>
b
until “TM” appears next to the
Remote Loop option.;
When a 511, 2047, or QRSS test is invoked, the Model 2715 gen-
erates a pseudo-random bit pattern of 511 bits, 2047 bits or 220 bits,
respectively, using a mathematical polynomial. The receiving NetLink-
E1™ then decodes the received bits using the same polynomial. If the
received bits match the agreed upon pseudo-random pattern, then the
Model 2715(s) and the communication link(s) are functioning properly.
b. Activate the “RL” signal on the DTE. If you are not sure
which lead is the “RL” signal, please refer to Appendix D.
2. Perform a bit error rate test (BERT) using the internal V.52
generator (as described in Section 5.3), or using a separate
BER Tester. If the BER test indicates a fault, and the Local
Line Loopback test was successful for both NetLink™s, you
may have a problem with the twisted pair line connection.
511
Initiates a built-in 511 bit pseudo-random
pattern generator and detector.
2047
QRSS
Initiates a built-in 2047 bit pseudo-random
pattern generator and detector.
Initiates a built-in 220 bit pseudo-random
pattern generator and detector.
To perform a V.52 test, follow these steps:
1. Activate the local loopback or remote loopback diagnostic.
2. Activate the test pattern. This may be done in one of two
ways:
e
a. Enter
Selected Pattern from the System
Diagnostics/Statistics menu and toggle the <Spacebar>
until the desired test pattern appears.
c
b. Enter
Test Pattern and toggle the <Spacebar> to
send the selected pattern.
c. One of two result codes will appear to the right of the
Test Pattern listing:
c
OK Indicates that the received test pattern is error-free.
BE Indicates that there are errors in the test pattern (to
deliberately insert errors in the pattern, toggle
Error Insertion to ON).
