6 ATL User Guide
2 INTRODUCTION
The AM7000 is a flexible SDH/PDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy/Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy)
multiplexer. Due to its modularity and various traffic units, it is possible to configure the AM7000 Multiplexer
for a wide range of applications. The AM7000 Multiplexer is a shelf-based system consisting of plug-in cards
that perform the grooming and multiplexing necessary for an access network.
The initial release of the AM7000 is as a cost effective PDH Multiplexer for grooming symmetric DSL traffic.
The AM7000 Multiplexer can be extended in the future by adding new types of plug-in cards without
changing the AM7000 Shelf, giving cost effective network evolution from a PDH Multiplexer to a SDH
Multiplexer.
ATL User Guide 7
3 APPLICATIONS
3.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The AM7000 Multiplexer can be used in a number of applications. It is designed to provide services from a
simple PDH Multiplexer (E1 trunk to DSL line cards) up through full SDH mapping at the STM-4 level with
equipment protection. In Release 1 the primary applications are as a PDH Multiplexer offering digital cross- 2
connect and as a bulk DSL access multiplexer.

4.1.6 AM200 DSL Modem

The AM200 DSL Modem can be connected to the AM7000 Multiplexer for access network applications. The
AM200 DSL Modem can then be remotely managed from the AM7000 Multiplexer. The AM200 DSL Modem
supports transmission rates from 128kbps to 2.3Mbps over a single copper pair line. The AM200 DSL Modem
complies with the G.SHDSL standard. It has a maximum transmission range of up to 7.5Km at 128Kbps and
up to 5.9Km at 2.3Mbps over 0.5mm2 cable. The AM200 DSL Modem provides G703, X21/V35 and Ethernet
interfaces. All interfaces may operate simultaneously. The X21 and V35 Interface options require the use of
a special converter cable that attaches to the 25-way D-type connector on the back of the AM200 DSL
Modem. The Ethernet interface supports Routing and Bridging over PPP (Point to Point protocol) and Frame
Relay. The X21/V35 interface supports rates between 64Kbps and 2.3Mbps. The DSL line rate is a multiple
of 64Kbps between 128Kbps and 2.3Mbps either manually configured or selected via the line rate adaption
protocol.

4.2 AM7000 MULTIPLEXER RELEASE R1_1B- RELEASE NOV '03
4.2.1 In Band Communications

The AM7000 contains an SNMP agent. This connects to ANMP using the IP protocol. The shelf controller (PMX
or OMX) behaves as an IP router with the fast Ethernet port as one of its ports. Other router ports are
connected to the cross-connect switch, this means that they can be connected to other ports on AM7000. In
this way an E1 circuit carrying customer traffic can also carry the management communications to another
AM7000 connected on the E1 circuit.

installation. DO NOT handle the cards unless you are wearing a suitable grounded wrist strap or alternative 3
form of ESD protection.
2 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

2.1 SELECTION OF SITE FOR INSTALLATION
The ambient temperature for operation of the AM7000 Multiplexer unit is rated from -10°C to +45°C with
relative humidity of up to 95% (non condensing). This temperature range will guarantee that the AM7000
operates within its specified parameters. Prior to installation you should consider the following aspects
regarding the selection of the installation site.
If the AM7000 Multiplexer is to be installed within cabinets or similar, select sites for the cabinets
that are not permanently exposed to direct sun radiation. Avoid sites with important differences
between the daily maximum and the nightly minimum temperature (except for cabinets with air
conditioning).
Do not install the AM7000 near or on top of equipment that dissipates heat.
Watch for constant temperature and constant relative humidity (within specified range). Operation
at lower temperature extends the long-term reliability (MTTF - Mean Time To Failure) and the lifetime
of the equipment.
Make sure that the selected location allows the equipment to dissipate the heat created within the
AM7000 Multiplexer.
Select a dust-free room that is normally closed and not generally accessible.
Do not install the AM7000 Multiplexer near equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields
(for example, large transformers, power rectifiers, generators, electrical machines, railways etc.).
Only proper grounding of the equipment will protect you and your equipment from lightning. Make
sure that the selected site provides efficient grounding terminals.
2.2 HEAT DISSIPATION

The heat dissipation of the AM7000 Multiplexer is not always a fixed value. It can depend heavily on the
traffic load, the mode of operation and the parameters selected. The maximum heat dissipation is 180W.
2.3 AMBIENT AIR CONDITIONS AND AIRFLOW

The ambient temperature for operation of the AM7000 Multiplexer is limited to a range from -10°C to +45°C,
with a relative humidity of up to 95% (non condensing). The design of the individual Controller, Line and
Power Cards however considers ambient temperatures in the range from 0°C to +70°C for operation (with
the parameters specified)The difference between the two temperature ranges takes into account the
increased temperature inside the Shelf due to internal heat dissipation.
6 ATL User Guide
It is essential that the site of installation provides an ambient temperature within the specified range
at any time, in order to preserve the system specifications and to prevent the system from overheating.if you
plan to stack systems, you need to take into account that the system below will heat up the air defining the
ambient conditions for the system(s) above!
The AM7000 is a flexible multiplexer with a high modularity. It is possible to implement a variety of traffic
interfaces and configurations in the AM7000 Shelf. Depending on the traffic interfaces and services installed,
the AM7000 Multiplexer can dissipate considerable amounts of heat. To ensure reliable operation of the
AM7000 Multiplexer, it is essential to evacuate this heat from the multiplexer and from its environment.
The maximum heat dissipation of a fully populated AM7000 shelf is (with only natural cooling). If the
heat dissipation in the AM7000 shelf exceeds this value then forced-air cooling is required to increase the
airflow through the AM7000 shelf
To prevent the equipment from overheating please adhere to the following instructions.
Do not block the natural air convection through the AM7000 Shelf and its Cards.
Respect a minimum distance of 2 HU (2 X 44.45mm) between the equipment above and below the
AM7000 Shelf.
2.4 POWER SUPPLY

You must plan the supply of power to the AM7000 Shelf before the installation of the equipment. The
AM7000 Shelf does not provide an inlet for AC supply. Instead an external AC/DC converter is required to
convert the mains supply to -48 DC. The power connector on the rear of the Shelf allows for the connection
of two -48 volt power supplies. One inlet is used for the primary power supply; the second may be used as a
backup.
2.5 FUSES
It is essential to fuse the power source side of the power supply for each AM7000 Shelf with a 10A slow blow
fuse.
Omitting the fuses in the power supply circuit could lead to serious damage to the AM7000 Shelf and
may create a fire in the case of overloads or short circuits.
2.6 GROUNDING
The AM7000 Multiplexer is telecommunication equipment compliant to protection class 1
It is mandatory to connect the equipment to suitable protective ground!

3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

3.1 UNPACKING AND CHECKING THE EQUIPMENT
Check the unpacked equipment before you start the installation.
Some components may be shipped already inserted in the shelf or as separate items depending upon the
specific product ordered. Please consider this when checking the delivery.
Check for complete consignment and for correct designation (refer to the ordering information).
Check the equipment for damage due to storage, transport or handling. 3
Check the front and backplane connectors (if any) for damage.
Leave the units in their protective ESD bags until you plan to plug them into the AM7000 Shelf.
Do not throw away any pieces packed with the equipment: you might need them at a later stage.
Keep the original packaging of the components. If you plan to move or despatch the equipment later the
original packaging provides the best protection for the AM7000 Shelf and Cards.
3.1.1 AM7000 Shelf

The AM7000 Shelf is supplied with the following items either fitted to the shelf or supplied separate in the
box:
DC Power Cable, Qty = 1 (loose)

Power Card, Qty = 1 (fitted to AM7000 shelf)
M6 Screw, Qty = 4 (in poly bag)
M6 Nylon Washer, Qty = 4 (in poly bag)
M6 Captive Cage Nut, Qty = 4 (in poly bag)
Rear Blanking Plate, Qty = 17 (fitted to the rear of the shelf)
Note:- In order to maintain the EMC characteristics of the system; a front blanking panel must be fitted to
every un-used slot on the shelf. Failure to do so may present access to hazardous voltages and violate EMC
integrity. Front blanking plates should be ordered so that there are no empty slots in the shelf once all of the
required cards are installed
3.1.2 AM7000 Line Cards

Each Line Card is supplied with a cable retainer separate in the box.
10 ATL User Guide
3.2 LIGHTNING & OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION
3.2.1 General
The Line Cards used in the AM7000 provide secondary over-voltage protection for their interfaces in
conjunction with external equipment. The primary protection (as required for lightning strike) is normally
implemented at the connection points of the signal cables to the outside world.
Poor cabling and grounding present a danger to personnel and equipment
3.2.2 Prerequisites
The AM7000 series of products is compliant to ITU-T K.20/K21. Additional external protection ensures that
much heavier conditions can be supported without creating danger for the user or damage to the equipment
3.2.3 Strategy Of Protection

The ITU-T K.20/K.21recommendation defines 2 test levels for lightning protection
1/1.5KV
4KV
The resilience of the interfaces with the lower level surges does not require additional external protection. The
compliance with the higher level surges requires additional protective devices.
The internal protection circuit normally complies with the requirements for equipment installed in unexposed
environments. For equipment installed in environments with normal exposure and particularly in highly
exposed environments ADDITIONAL PROTECTION IS NECESSARY.
3.2.4 Classification Of Exposure

Since it is impossible to know the life levels and shapes of surges on telecommunication lines, the following
paragraphs provide a rough classification for exposure based on experience.
3.2.4.1 Unexposed Environment

Such conditions are rare and might apply for very short distances of interconnection in places without heavy
thunder storms or indoors.
3.2.4.2 Normally Exposed Environment

Such condition applies for cables conducted under ground over the whole distance of the interconnection.
These conditions are typical for central Europe.
3.2.4.3 Highly Exposed Environment

This type of environmental exposure applies for
Cables conducted over ground.

Cables conducted along power lines, railways or similar installations.
Regions with frequent and/or heavy thunder storms (such as tropical countries)
ATL User Guide 11
3.2.4.4 Risks
Insufficient protection of the transmission interfaces will lead to destruction of the transmission equipment.
Since the over-voltage tries to discharge to ground via the path with the lowest resistance. The surge can
create extremely high currents anywhere in the installation and may burn cables and equipment.
Insufficient protection of the transmission interfaces coupled with large discharges creates unpredictable
danger for operator.

1. SCOPE
This Section applies to the configuration of the AM7000 Multiplexer using ATL Telecom's Access Network
Management Platform (ANMP) Software, and provides basic set-up information.
For detailed information on installing and using ANMP please refer to the ANMP User Guide, ATL part no:
1/246/001/610.
4
6 ATL User Guide
2 INTRODUCTION
The AM7000 can be configured via the the use of ANMP software or via the Command Line Interface (CLI).
The user guide covers the commissioning of the PMX, E1S16, DSL8 and N64K4 cards via the use of ANMP. It
assumes that the ANMP software has already been loaded onto your PC or laptop. Before the AM7000 can
be accessed via the ANMP the AM7000 IP address needs to be set.
3 SETTING THE IP ADDRESS

The AM7000 is shipped with the IP address of the PMX card set to 10.10.17.55 (default).
The IP address can only be changed via the Command Line Interface (CLI) mode. The CLI mode is accessed
via a VT100 Terminal or PC connected to the Terminal port on the front of the PMX card.
The PC needs to be running the TeraTerm VT100 emulation program. This program can be down loaded from
the ATL website http://www.atltelecom.com/support/.
3.1 CONNECTION VIA TERMINAL PORT

Connect a VT100 terminal (or PC running TeraTerm VT100 emulation program) to the 9-way Terminal serial
port on the front of the PMX. Configure the serial port settings of the VT100 terminal to 19,200 baud, 8 bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit and Xon/Xoff.
Press the 'return' key and the screen prompt > will appear. Type in the following command to enter the admin
status
>login admin admin ↵
The admin> prompt will then appear on the screen.
Admin>
Before you can change the IP address, the admin status must be set to down. To set the admin status to down
type in the following command:-
ipnetwork set adminstatus 2 ↵
You can now set the IP address using the following command followed by the new IP address (?.?.?.?
represents the new IP address)
ipNetwork set hostaddr ?.?.?.?
In the following example the IP address will be changed to 10.10.16.92.
At the admin prompt, type in:
ipNetwork set hostaddr 10.10.16.92 ↵

ATL User Guide 7
To view the current IP address, type in the following at the admin prompt:-
ipNetwork get hostaddr ↵
For the example used above the response would be
Host Address = 10.10.16.92
Admin>
Finally reset the admin status to up using the following command:-
ipNetwork set adminstatus 1 ↵
The IP address of the AM7000 has not been set and the unit can now be controlled/configured via the Nemsis 4
ANMP software package.

5.6.4 Overview of DSL Profiles

Of all the possible DSL configurations, most network operators deploy just a handful of different settings. The
use of profiles allows the information for a line type, or given service level, to be entered just once. Setting
up an individual customer's line is then simply a matter of selecting from the pre-configured profiles. Profiles
are defined for the whole shelf and are stored in the main system database, for this reason the profile screens
are associated with the shelf controller card e.g. PMX. A maximum of 16 profiles (including the default profile)
can be stored. The name used for a profile must not contain a substring of an existing profile name e.g. You
cannot call a profile C3 or C321 if a profile named C32 already exists

The DSL Alarm Profile Screen allows the User to define, edit and delete alarm settings for the DSL Cards.
Note: For different line rates, the network planning rules should indicate the maximum allowed line
attenuation. This will vary depending on the local network infastructure, e.g. cable gauge, cable mix, other
services in the same cable bundle etc. The other settings are used to monitor the Quality Of Service level for
a given service.A maximum of 8 profiles (including the default profile) can be stored. The name used for a
profile must not contain a substring of an existing profile name e.g. You cannot call a profile A3 or A321 if a
profile named A32 already exists

no CRC links an Errored Second is a second with one or more anomalies or one or more defects. E1-Unframed
links an Errored Second is a second is a second with one or more defects.
SES - Severely Errored Seconds
For E1-FAS CRC links, a severely errored second is a second with 300 or more anomalies or one or more
defects. For E1-FAS no CRC links, a severely errored second is a second with 300 or more anomalies or one
or more defects. E1-Unframed links an Errored Second is a second with one or more defects.
4
SEFS - Severely Errored Framed Seconds
For E1-FAS CRC and E1-FAS links no CRC An Severely Errored Framing Second is a second with one or more
defects e.g. AIS, LFA, LOS. For E1-Unframed Links, this parameter is not incremented. Severely Framing
Errored Seconds are not incremented in the unavailable link state.
UAS - Unavailable Seconds
A period of unavailable time begins at the onset of ten consecutive SES events. It ends at the onset of ten
consecutive non SES events.
CSS - Controlled Slip Seconds
A Controlled Slip Second is a one-second interval containing one or more controlled slips. This is not
incremented in the unavailable link state. These do not contribute to the ES or SES. The Falc can report
controlled slips, so this parameter will be provided
Degraded Minutes
A Degraded Minute is one in which the estimated error rate exceeds 1E-6 but does not exceed 1E-3.
Degraded Minutes are determined by collecting all of the Available Seconds, removing any Severely Errored
Seconds grouping the result in 60-second long groups and counting a 60-second long group (a.k.a., minute)
as degraded if the cumulative errors during the seconds present in the group exceed 1E-6.
PCV - Path Code Violation
A Path Coding Violation error event is a FAS error in E1-FAS no CRC formats and E1-FAS CRC, or a block error
in E1-FAS CRC formats, these are only counted during seconds which are not of type SES, following the
definition of Background Block Errors in G.826.
LES - Line Errored Second
A Line Errored Second is a second in which one or more Line Code Violation error events were detected. Not
defined in G.826 but since the Falc reports LCV's, this parameter, can be provided in the Mib as per RFC2495.

1 SCOPE
This section applies to the AM7000 PMX Card, designed and manufactured by ATL Telecom Limited in the
U.K. It provides guidance for the installation and commissioning of the AM7000 PMX Card, as well as useful
reference information.
2 INTRODUCTION
The PMX (PDH Management and Cross-connect) Card is a plug-in card providing management and cross-
connect functionality for the AM7000 Multiplexer. The PMX Card fits into slots 17 & 19 of the AM7000 Shelf.
The PMX Card is a core card that manages the other cards in the AM7000 Shelf.
The structure of management information is based on SNMP MIBs. Management interfaces include an
Ethernet connection, a RS232 local terminal connection and two in-band E1 or fractional E1 connections. The
PMX Card can cross-connect up to 8192 individual 64K DS0 level circuits. The PMX Card has no traffic
interfaces but instead uses Line Cards in the Universal Line Card Slots to provide E1 trunk connections and a
mix of E1 and DSL tributary connections.
The PMX Card can synchronise to traffic from any E1 line card or to dedicated synchronisation sources. The
dedicated synchronisation interface supports an input and an output of 2Mbps HDB3 or 2MHz square wave
signals terminated in 75 or 120 ohms.
The PMX Card can be fully protected by installing a second PMX Card in the appropriate slot. When two PMX
Cards are installed one is considered as the "worker" PMX Card and the other as the "protector" PMX Card. 6
When the AM7000 Multiplexer has two PMX Cards providing shelf controller functionality a "worker" PMX
Card is able to identify when it is faulty and concede control to the "protector" PMX Card.

6 CONFIGURATION
The PMX Card provides functions and processes, which affect the services and operation of the AM7000
Shelf.
The ANMP software provides the corresponding menus for control for the AM7000 Shelf or the PMX Card.
6.1 CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL OF THE AM7000 SHELF

See Section Three - System Configuration of this User Guide.
6.2 CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL OF THE PMX CARD

The PMX Card can be Managed by both SNMP over Ethernet (10BaseT) and the standard VT100 system using
a local terminal.
6.2.1 Configuration using ANMP (ATL's SNMP)

See Section Three - System Configuration of this User Guide.
ATL User Guide 11
6.3 CROSS CONNECTIONS

Using ANMP the User can configure the PMX Card Online or Offline. The procedure for carrying out a cross
connection Offline is identical to the procedure for carrying out a cross connection Online. In the following
example the cross connections will be added, edited and deleted Offline.
NOTE:- Before a PMX card can be removed all of the Cross Connections must be deleted and the slot selection
set to empty before the card is removed.
6.3.1 OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL CROSS-CONNECT

Any-port-to-any-port traffic grooming allows the AM7000 Multiplexer to function as a Digital Cross-Connect
device. Various levels of Cross-Connections are available, but all are built on the smallest cross-connect
available, which is at 64kbps (DS0) resolution. The AM7000 Shelf can be fitted with a PMX Card and up to
16 E1S16 Cards (see Figure 2 - E1 Cross Connect ) to produce a single shelf with 256 E1 Interfaces and a non-
blocking DS0 cross-connect capacity of 8192 connections. Alternatively the AM7000 Shelf can be fitted with
a PMX Card and 16 DSL8 Cards (see Figure 3 - DSL Cross Connect) to cross-connect 128 x AM200DSL
Modems.

7 MANAGEMENT COMMUNICATIONS
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The AM7000 contains an SNMP agent. This connects to ANMP using the IP protocol. The shelf controller (PMX
or OMX) behaves as an IP router with the fast Ethernet port as one of its ports. Other router ports are
connected to the cross-connect switch, this means that they can be connected to other ports on AM7000. In
this way an E1 circuit carrying customer traffic can also carry the management communications to another
AM7000 connected on the E1 circuit.

Figure 19 - Internal Management Communications Paths

For the PDH system, the Inband Communications Channel (ICC) uses one 64kbps timeslot.
Six steps are required to configure management connections for ICC:
1- Plan the network
2- Configure Ethernet ports
3- Cross Connect the ICC ports
4- Give IP addresses to the ICC ports
5- Create the IP routes on the network elements
6- Create the IP routes on the Central Management System
Some knowledge of IP networks is assumed in the following sections.

ATL User Guide 27
7.2 PLAN THE NETWORK

A management path needs to be configured between all the AM7000 nodes that are to be managed. It is
possible to route the ICC between many nodes using only two ports
The IP addresses should be allocated with the following rules in mind.
1. The two ends of an ICC link must be on the same subnet.
2. Each ICC link must be on a unique subnet.
3. Each Ethernet interface must be on a unique subnet
It is highly recommended to map out the routes and address allocations for the entire network before starting
to configure the nodes.

When connecting the AM7000 network element to an existing LAN, the IP subnet address used for the
Ethernet port will already be determined. Typically this subnet address may be of the form 120.130.x.x or
120.130.140.x. Only the specific IP address must be chosen. This must be in the address range of the subnet
and be different from that used by any other equipment on the LAN.
When connecting an AM7000 network element to a new LAN, the subnet address used for the Ethernet port
must be different from that of any other LAN in the organisation.

7.3 CONFIGURE THE ETHERNET PORT

Use a terminal emulator such as Hyperterm or Teraterm to connect to CLI port on the front panel of the PMX
card (19.2Kbps, No parity, No flow control).
Set the IP address and netmask of the Ethernet port using the following CLI commands:-
First login using the default login and password:
Login admin
Password admin
Take the port out of service, type in:
ipNetwork set adminstatus 2
Set the IP address and netmask, type in:
ipNetwork set hostaddr 120.130.141.22

ipNetwork set netmask 255.255.255.0
6
Bring the port back into service by typing in:
ipNetwork set adminstatus 1
Set the IP address and net mask of the laptop computer that is used for local configuration to match the
subnet e.g. 120.130.141.43 : 255.255.255.0.
Check that an IP connection can be made from the computer to the AM7000 via the ethernet port. (Use
ping.)
Start ANMP on the laptop computer and add an AM7000 node with the IP address of its Ethernet port.
Using ANMP go online and confirm that there is contact with the AM7000 node.

7.4 CROSS CONNECT THE ROUTER PORTS

Using the PMX > Cross Connect screen in ANMP on the laptop computer, make cross connections between
the E1 ports and the management router.

the down stream channel from the manager.
On Node 1, only the Comms 2 needs to be cross connected to the chosen E1S16 64kbps timeslot.
On Node 2, a connection is needed to Comms 1 and Comms 2
On Node 3, a connection is only needed to Comms 1

Figure 19 shows how to configure the ICC physical route between nodes. Note, Node 1 has cross connects
that carry the ICC but are not directly connected to C1 or C2, it is a good idea to name the routes ICC2, ICC3
etc. to distinguish them from normal traffic carrying cross connects. At nodes 2 and 3, the E1 Circuit has two
timeslots carrying ICC, one 'upstream' and one 'downstream' with respect to the complete ICC path.
32 ATL User Guide
7.5 GIVE IP ADDRESSES TO THE ROUTER PORTS

Using the PMX > Management Ports screen in ANMP on the laptop computer, set the IP addresses of the ICC
ports that have been cross connected. Also set the default routes for IP packets sent back towards the central
management platform.
In the example in Figure 21
For Node 1,
Set the Default Route to LAN
Add the IP address and netmask to comms port 2.
For Node 2
Set the Default Route to 1 (For Comms 1)
Add the IP address and netmask to comms ports 1 and 2.

7.6 CREATE THE IP ROUTES ON NETWORK ELEMENTS

Using the PMX > Management Routes screen in ANMP on the laptop computer, add IP routes to node 1
In the example in Figure 21
On Node 1, add routes to subnets on node 3.
Destination : Netmask : Gateway
120.130.142.0 : 255.255.255.0 : 120.130.141.0022

ATL User Guide 35
On Node 3, add route to subnets on node 1.
Destination : Netmask : Gateway
120.130.140.005 : 255.255.255.0 : 120.130.141.022
7.7 CREATE THE IP ROUTES ON THE CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

On the central management system that is connected to node 1 across the LAN, add the following routes at
a DOS prompt:-
route -p add 120.130.141.0 mask 255.255.255.0 120.130.140.87

route -p add 120.130.142.0 mask 255.255.255.0 120.130.140.87
Open ANMP on the central management system and build the AM7000 network elements. When building a
network element specify the IP address of the Ethernet port.
In the example Figure 21
For Node 1,
120.130.140.87
For Node 2,
120.130.150.1
36 ATL User Guide
For Node 3,
120.130.150.3
Go online to all the newly connected network elements and confirm that there is contact with the agents. All
management of the network elements can now be performed from the central management system.
7.8 SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD OVER ICC

If the FTP server is running on the same host as ANMP, then all of the routes will be OK.
If, however, the FTP server is on a different host, routes will need to be added to the AM7000 nodes pointing
to the FTP server and to the FTP server host pointing to the AM7000 node. This is done in the same way as
creating routes for ANMP.

PMX Cards are installed one is considered as the "worker" PMX Card and the other as the "protector" PMX
Card.
The PMX Card is able to operate either as the "worker" PMX Card or the "protector" PMX Card. The
software on both cards negotiates which card is the "worker" PMX Card and which is the "protector" PMX
Card. If both PMX Cards are powered up together priority is given to the PMX Card in slot 17.
38 ATL User Guide
It is important when the AM7000 has two PMX Cards providing shelf controller functionality that a "worker"
PMX Card is able to identify when it is faulty and concede control to the "protector" PMX Card.
When the "worker" PMX Card fails, the red unit fail LED is on (except on loss of power), all the Shelf
Controller functions are conceded to the "protector" PMX Card. The "protector" PMX Card now adopts all
the Shelf Controller functions.
This protection is non-revertive.
8.1.2.2 Interfaces for Management Communication

The Shelf Controller Function needs to communicate with other functional blocks in the shelf and with the
network management system. The Shelf Controller function is implemented in a Motorola 860 Processor that
provides dedicated support for communication functions.

6 FRAMING
The E1S16 Card allows the User to select 1 of 5 framing options for each channel, Unframed, PCM30,
PCM30C, PCM31 & PCM31C.
6.1 UNFRAMED
Unframed data is binary data in a continuous stream, with no framing structure.
6.2 PCM30
The frame consists of 32 timeslots (Figure 4), 30 timeslots are used for traffic and 2 time slots (0 & 16) are
used for synchronisation (0) and signalling (16) purposes. The synchronisation timeslot 0 contains the Frame
Alignment Signal (FAS) in every even frame and the Not Frame Alignment Signal (NFAS) in every odd frame.
The signalling timeslot 16 contains the Channel Associated Signal (CAS).

The FAS contains 8 bits (Figure 5), bit 1 is known as the Si bit and is reserved for international use. It is
normally set to 1 except in systems that use CRC (ref to Error! Reference source not found.)

The CAS contains the information necessary for switching and routing of the 30 channels (signalling & status
codes) are interleaved and transmitted in timeslot 16. The 64kbps capacity of timeslot 16 is divided between
the 30 subscriber channels and 2 auxiliary channels for synchronisation and alarms. A signalling multi-frame
is formed which comprises 16 normal PCM30 frames (Figure 6). Each signalling timeslot of the multi-frame
has a transmission capacity of 4kbps (64kbps divided into 16 frames). Each timeslot is then divided to include
2 subscriber channels, giving a signalling rate of 2kbps.

6.3 PCM30C
PCM30C is similar to PCM30 except PCM30C contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). With PCM30 there
is the possibility that one of the channels could contain the bit pattern 10011011, which matches the FAS.
This would lead to the unit re-synchronising to this channel rather than the FAS. To avoid this fault, ITU-T
Recommendation G.704 specifies the use of a CRC-4 check for 2.048Mbps systems.
The CRC-4 multi-frame (Figure 7) consists of 16 PCM frames just like the signalling multi-frame (Figure 3). The
CRC-4 multi-frame is divided into two 8 framed sub-multi-frames, I and II. A CRC Multi-frame Alignment
Signal (CRC MFAS) is used to synchronise the receiving side to this multi-frame. The CRC MFAS is a 6-bit signal
that is inserted bit by bit into the first bit of the NFAS in frames1, 3,5,7,9 and 11. The first bits of frames 13
& 15 are called the E bits and are used to indicate the data blocks with bit errors back to the transmitting
unit.

This would lead to the unit re-synchronising to this channel rather than the FAS. To avoid this fault, ITU-T
Recommendation G.704 specifies the use of a CRC-4 check for 2.048Mbps systems.
7 COMMISSIONING
Once the equipment is correctly installed, it may be necessary to monitor the quality of service before putting
live traffic on the circuit, depending on the installation rules of the network.
Use Local Loop tests to verify the wire connection between the terminal and the AM7000.
Use the V.54 Remote loop to verify the end to end connection.
The Status screen displays the current status. The AMS screen displays the various alarms and their severity.
The PRBS Bert Tester that is built into the PMX card can be used to test the various cross connections. Refer
to the PMX card section for an explanation of it’s operation.

4 INSTALLATION
The installation of the PWR1 Card and the connection of the Power Cable to the AM7000 Shelf is covered in
the Installation Section of this User Guide.

The power can now be applied to the AM7000 Shelf. All the Front Panel LEDs will flash Amber at a rate of
0.5Hz for approximately 4 to 7 seconds. When the AM7000 Multiplexer has been installed and working
correctly the Power A, Power B, Shelf Power and Unit Status LEDs will be illuminated in green and the Ext.
Alarm LED will be extinguished.
All other cards can then be inserted or removed with the power to the AM7000 still switched on ("hot
swappable").

5.1.2 Physical Inventory Functions

The PWR1 Card provides the standard AM7000 physical inventory functions via the AM7000 Inventory Bus.
5.1.3 External Alarm Functions

The alarm function monitors the power inputs, fuses, the fan alarm and the external alarm inputs and reports
them to the PMX Card via the AM7000 Inventory Bus. The alarm function also enables the PMX Card to set
the station alarm outputs. There is no processor on the PWR1 Card so the alarm function also enables the
PMX Card to control the LEDs on the PWR1 Card.
5.1.4 Power Filtering Functions

The power in from the AM7000 Backplane is applied to the PWR1 Card. The power lines are fused to protect
the PWR1 Card. It is then filtered to reduce conducted emission before being applied to the AM7000
Backplane to power all the other cards in the AM7000 Shelf.
