2. APPLICATIONS
2.1 General
The DNI5712 Issue 2 is installed at the customer premises on the
network side of the Network Interface, the point of demarcation
between the LEC and the Customer Installation. The DNI termi−
nates DS1 (1.544Mb/s) HCDS derived over metallic cable pairs
or fiber multiplexed facilities and provides maintenance loop−
back from the Side 1 receive path back to the LEC on the Side 2
transmit path. The DNI has the capability of being loop or
through powered from the span or being locally powered from an
external −48Vdc or 24Vac power supply.
When installed into a new or existing HCDS circuit the DNI5712
must be included in the span design.
2.2 DS1 Transmission Design
The loss in the LEC T1 transmission from the last line repeater
to the Network Interface should not exceed 16.5dB. The
DNI5712 has a maximum insertion loss of 1.0dB at 772kHz re−
stricting the loss between the last line repeater and the DNI to
less than or equal to 15.5dB.
The signal level received from the Customer Installation terminal
equipment should be limited so that the range of pulse ampli−
tudes received at the last LEC repeater is controlled to ±4dB.
This is accomplished by the customer adjusting the terminal
equipment (CSU) for the correct Output Pulse Option. The Out−
put Pulse Option setting is based on the LEC cable loss between
the CI Terminal Equipment and the last LEC repeater plus the
1dB DNI insertion loss, as specified by the LEC at the time of
installation.
2.3 Loop/Thru Span Powering
When optioned for Loop Power the DNI has a voltage drop of
15Vdc (250 Ohms at 60mA). The 250 Ohms must be added to the
simplex resistance of the span when calculating the required span
voltage. When optioned for Through Power the DNI has a volt−
age drop of 15Vdc (250 Ohms at 60mA). CI Terminal Equipment,
including customer wiring, can add up to an additional 1120
Ohms of simplex resistance (67Vdc at 60mA) for a total of 1370
Ohms. The 1370 Ohms of simplex resistance must be added to the
simplex resistance of the span when calculating the required span
voltage.
3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Refer to Figure 2, the DNI5712 Issue 2 Functional Block Dia−
gram, as needed while reading this description.
2 0305I2RA
030−101495 Rev. A R
3.1 Side 1 and Side 2 Transmission Paths
The DNI5712 is transformer−coupled on all transmission ports.
The transformers are center tapped to provide loop or through
termination for span current. The Network ports are equipped
with secondary lightning and surge protection circuits. The Side
1 (RCV from Facility) and Side 2 (XMT to Facility) transmission
paths are passive when the side 1 regenerator is NOT enabled
(factory default) (see paragraph 3.6) or attenuates the LEC or
Customer Installation transmission. The Side 2 transmission
path provides a means of limiting the CI transmit signal to a level
commensurate with the value of the setting of the Loopback Line
Build−Out (LPBK LBO).
3.2 Loopback Path
The DNI5712 has remote or manual loopback capability. The
DNI loops the LEC signal from the Side 1 receive path back to
the LEC on Side 2 (refer to Figure 3 as needed). The DNI pro−
vides full−time signal regeneration in the loopback path. The
loopback path is equipped with a Line Build−Out circuit (LPBK
LBO) that provides from 0 up to 22.5dB of attenuation.
3.3 Transmit Signal Limiter
The LPBK LBO is gang−switched with the Side 2 Transmit Signal
Limiter. The Transmit Signal Limiter allows the LEC to control
the peak amplitude of the customer’s transmitted signal in situa−
tions where the CI Terminal Equipment has an incorrect Output
Pulse Option setting. The Signal Limiter also prevents far−end
cross−talk or the over−driving of the last LEC line repeater but
does not duplicate the functionality of the CSU. If the CI Termi−
nal Equipment has the correct Output Pulse Option setting the
Signal Limiter has no affect on the CI transmission. Refer to
Table 1 for peak amplitude limits.
LPBK LBO Set XMT Path Signal Limiter limits the Peak Am-
For: plitude of the Customer Signal to:
15 dB or 22.5 dB 0.6 and 0.85 Volts
1.2 and 1.63 Volts
7.5 dB
0 dB No Effect
Table 1. Loopback LBO Adjustments
3.4 Framing Format
The DNI automatically interfaces DS1 signals using either un−
framed, SF or ESF format. When using ESF format, the
front−panel ESF LED lights when synchronization is achieved
with the ESF framing pattern.
3.5 Loopback
The primary function of the DNI5712 is transmission loopback.
Refer to Figure 3 for a typical loopback operation diagram. The
DNI5712 supports both manual and remote loopback activation.
The DNI5712 supports remote loopback in unframed, SF or ESF
formats. When the DNI5712 enters the loopback mode the front−
panel yellow LPBK LED lights.
3.5.1 Loopback Query
The Loopback query feature is operational whenever the
DNI5712 is in loopback. This feature will insert bit−errors into the
DS1 bit−stream which can be used at a test location to identify that
the DNI is the device in the span which is in loopback. With the
DNI in loopback, the loopback query bit−error response can be
activated by sending the 16−bit loopback query code 1101 0101
1101 0101 (D5D5H) toward the the DNI for > 5 seconds. In re−

sponse, the DNI will insert 570 bit−errors into the T1 bit stream
as an indication that the DNI is in loopback. In addition, these bit−
errors will be repeated once every 20 seconds for as long as the
loopback query code is continually sent to the DNI. Upon remov−
ing the loopback query code, the DNI returns to normal loopback
operation.
3.5.2 Loopback Indication Signal (LIS)
When the DNI5712 enters loopback, the unit sends an all−ones
Loopback Indication Signal (LIS) to the CI, interrupts the trans−
mission from the CI and terminates the XMT IN port with 100
Ohms.
3.6 Remote Regen Enabling and Disabling
(Factory Setting − Disabled)
Remote enabling and disabling of the receive regenerator circuit
is performed by sending the inband code 1100 0101 0101 1000
(C558−hex) for greater than 5 seconds while the DNI is in loop−
back. In response, the DNI will change state from it’s current
setting. In other words, the DNI will toggle from disabled to en−
abled or from enabled to disabled. A corresponding bit−error
response will be returned in the payload once every 20 seconds
while the regenerator toggle code is being received.
D A response of 580 bit−errors inserted into the payload indicates
that the regenerator circuit has been enabled.
D A response of 585 bit−errors inserted into the payload indicates
that the regenerator circuit has been disabled.
Non−volatile memory will store this setting in the event of a power
loss.
3.7 Remote Programming LED Status
When remotely programmed, the power LED on the DNI will
flash at 1 second second intervals. To remove any remote pro−
gramming, the MNLB button must be pushed and held for more
than 5 seconds. The power LED will then cease flashing and re−
turn to normal state.
3.8 Manual Loopback
Manual loopback is activated by pressing the front−panel MNLB
switch. When this switch is pressed, a permanent loopback condi−
tion is established. Loopback remains in effect until the MNLB
switch is pressed a second time or until loopback deactivate code
is received.
With S5 set to the disabled (DIS) position the DNI will recognize
Inband loopback activate and deactivate control codes when
transmitted only in the unframed or SF format. The DNI will not
recognize Inband codes when ESF transmission is detected.
3.10 ESF Data Link Code Detection
The DNI will recognize ESF loopback activate and deactivate
control codes transmitted over the 4kb/s data link regardless of
the position of switch S5.
3.10.1 Inband Loopback Activation
The repetitive pulse pattern K11000" (2 in 5), applied to the Side
1 receive path of the DNI, will place the unit into loopback. The
DNI will not activate loopback until the loopback activation code
sequence has been detected for at least five seconds. The DNI will
switch to the loopback mode in less than six seconds after the
loopback activation code has been applied to the line. The detec−
tion algorithm will function reliably with a bit error rate of 10U#
or less on the facility. NOTE: With S5 disabled the Inband codes
must be sent in either the unframed or SF format.
3.10.2 Inband Loopback Deactivation
The repetitive pulse pattern K11100" (3 in 5), applied to the Side
1 receive path of the DNI, will return the unit to normal. The DNI
will not deactivate loopback until the code sequence has been de−
tected for at least five seconds. The DNI will return to normal
within six seconds after the loopback deactivation code has been
applied to the line. The detection algorithm will function reliably
with a bit error rate of 10U# or less on the facility. NOTE: With S5
disabled Inband codes must be sent in either the unframed or SF for−
mat.
3.10.3 ESF Loopback Activation
The bit−oriented command and response message 0001 0010
1111 1111 (right−most bit sent first) transmitted on the ESF data
link of the LEC signal will place the DNI in loopback. The loop−
back detector circuitry must recognize the loopback activation
signal after 16 milliseconds. The detection algorithm will func−
tion reliably with a bit error rate of 10U# or less on the facility.
3.10.4 ESF Loopback Deactivation
The bit−oriented command and response message 0010 0100
1111 1111 (right−most bit sent first) transmitted on the ESF data
link of the LEC signal will return the DNI to normal. The loop−
back detector circuitry must recognize the loopback deactivation
signal after 16 milliseconds. The detection algorithm will func−
tion reliably with a bit error rate of 10U# or less on the facility.
3.11 CPE And Facility Loss−of−Signal (LOS)
Upon detecting a loss−of−signal from the CI for greater than
150ms, the DNI lights the red CPE LOS LED. Upon detecting
the absence of transmission from the facility for greater than
150ms, the DNI lights the red FAC LOS LED.

3.12.2 DS1 Idle Signal Upon Loss−of−Signal
The DNI upon detecting a loss−of−signal from the CI will send
CDI code toward the Network. The CPE LOS LED illuminates.
When the CI signal is restored the DNI will return to the normal
operating state.
3.12.3 CDI Framing
Framing of the CDI (Customer Disconnect Indication) pattern
transmitted is the same as the framing format received from the
network. SF returns SF, ESF returns ESF. In either case the 5712
Issue 2 will transmit framed pattern 0001 0111 (17 hex) into each
of the 24 DSO time slots for CDI. In addition, when ESF framed,
the FDL (Facility Data Link) will include the Remote Alarm Indi−
cator (e.g., ESF yellow alarm, eight 1’s followed by eight 0’s)
interrupted each second, for not less than 90 ms nor more than
100 ms with LAPD idle code (01111110). If no transmission or
unframed transmission is being detected from the network, the
CDI transmitted to the network will default to SF framing.
3.12.4 Loopback Upon Loss−Of−Signal
The DNI upon detecting a loss−of−signal from the CI will enter
loopback. The CPE LOS and LPBK LEDs illuminate. Loss−of−
signal Loopback has no time−out. When the CI signal is restored,
the DNI will return to the normal operating state.
3.14 Customer Disconnect Response Override
Once in the Customer Disconnect Response mode, the tester can
(see Figure 4, CDR Remote Override) send:
1. The NIU Loopback code. The DNI enters normal loopback.
This loopback will stay in effect until deactivated. The DNI will
then return to the Normal mode where it will then react to the
status of the customer signal.
or
2. The NIU Loopdown code. This action places the DNI in the
CDR Override mode. In the CDR Override mode the Loop−
back, AIS or DS1 Idle Signal is disabled which allows signal
access from the CI. The DNI will return to the Normal Mode
when the CI signal is restored or the 60 minute CDR Override
time−out expires. If the 60 minute CDR Override time−out ex−
pires the DNI returns to the Normal mode where it will react to
the status of the customer signal. The DNI can be returned to the
CDR mode by sending NIU loopback deactivate code. Sending
the NIU Loopback Activate code places the DNI into normal
loopback.
3.15 Power
Power to the DNI can be derived from the facility (via the simplex
leads) or from a local external power source. The DNI is
equipped with a 3−position slide switch (S3) labeled for LOOP,
THRU and LOCAL. This switch is used to configure the unit for
the intended power operation.

3.13 Remote Toggle Procedure
To remotely toggle the CI LOS Response, use the following pro−
cedure: First loop−up the 5712 Issue 2, then query it by sending
the 16 bit in−band LOS Response Toggle Code, 0101 1101 0100
0001, 5D41 (Hex) for greater than 5 seconds. After 5 seconds the
unit will respond with an all 1’s signal if set for AIS (Factory De−
fault), with CDI (0001 0111, Hex 17) if set for CDI, will return
what it is sent if set for Loopback, or will send the alternating
0101010... stress pattern if set for no response to CI LOS. If re−
sponse is the desired setting, simply remove the LOS Response
Toggle Code. To toggle the selection to another setting, remove
the LOS Response Toggle Code and resend it again for > 5 Sec−
onds. The unit will toggle to the next CI LOS Response option in
the following sequence − CDI, Nothing, Loopback, AIS, CDI,
Nothing, Loopback, etc. When it is at the desired option, remove
the LOS Response Toggle Code and do not resend it.
3.15.1 Loop Power Option − S3 Set To LOOP
In the LOOP power configuration, span current simplexed from
the facility to the DNI is connected across the Power Supply cir−
cuitry and looped back to the facility. The CI−side simplex leads
loop the dc path back to the CI. In the looped power configura−
tion the facility is isolated from the CI and no span current crosses
the Network Interface.
3.15.2 Through Power Option − S3 Set To THRU
In the THRU power configuration, span current simplexed from
the facility powers the DNI and passes through the unit to the CI.
In the event span current is interrupted at the CI, the Span Cur−
rent Detector automatically switches to the LOOP power mode.
In this manner, the voltage drop across the DNI increases from
15Vdc to 40Vdc. This allows the DNI to maintain span current
continuity. When the CI current path is restored the DNI auto−
matically returns to the THRU power mode.
