7 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Functional Description The KHS.1 module is a high-speed data module for RAD s family of high-speed modular TDM systems, the Kilomux (which includes the following four models: KM- 2000, KM-2004, KM-2100 and KM-2104). The module provides two high-speed synchronous data channels. Each channel can support data rates of 32, 48, 56, 64, 128, 192, 256 or 384 kbps, however the maximum data rate may be limited by the data rate of the Kilomux main link. The channel interface is DCE, and can be independently configured for V.35, RS-530, V.36/RS-422/RS-499 or X.21 operation. Channel data rates as well as all the channel operating parameters are controlled through the Kilomux supervisory port. Programmable timing modes and channel buffers permit connection to all types of digital lines, including digital data services, and ensure data integrity. Each channel has three user-programmable timing modes: DCE: the KHS.1 channel provides the timing signals to the DTE connected to it. DTE1: the KHS.1 channel provides the receive timing signal, and accepts the transmit timing from the equipment connected to the channel. DTE2: the KHS.1 channel accepts the receive and transmit timing signals from the equipment connected to the channel, and buffers and retimes the incoming data. When connected to the national network or to private carrier data lines, e.g., DDS or Kilostream lines, a KHS.1 channel operating in the DTE2 mode can be used as an external timing reference source for the Kilomux unit the module is installed in. The KHS.1 module provides two user-selectable modes of support for the V.24/RS-232 interface control signals: Local control signal support. When local support is enabled, the channel locally supports four interface control signals, that is, the state of the control signals is not transmitted to the remote channel. The locally-supported control signals are as follows: RTS. CTS: can be programmed to follow RTS with a programmable delay, or to be constantly ON. If a channel is disconnected, its CTS line is always OFF, irrespective of the selected mode. DSR: constantly ON, except when the channel is in remote loopback, or under PRBS or BER testing. KHS.1 Functional Description 1-1

8 Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual DCD: constantly ON, except when communications are not possible because of loss of frame synchronization. End-to-end transmission of local RTS line state to the remote DCD line, and vice versa. Typical end-to-end delay is 2.5msec. The support mode can be independently selected for each channel. The support mode can be independently selected for each channel. The module automatically performs self-test upon power-up and during normal operation. Comprehensive diagnostic capabilities reduce downtime to a minimum. Diagnostics include local and remote channel loops, and in addition the channels support loops 2 and 3 per CCITT Rec. V.54. During maintenance, the activity of the channel transmit and receive lines, and the state of the RTS and DCD control lines can be monitored on the dedicated Kilomux front-panel indicators. Each channel terminates on a separate 25-pin D-type, female connector. Pin-out assignment is in accordance with RS-530 specifications. Local support of four control signals is provided. For connection to V.35, X.21 or RS-422/RS-449 equipment, special cables are available. Figure 1-1 shows typical KHS.1 applications. Figure 1-1.

The instructions appearing in this section assume you are familiar with the operation and capabilities of the supervision terminal. If necessary, refer to Chapter 4 of the Kilomux-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual for general operating instructions, and for instructions on the execution of other configuration activities. The configuration functions applicable to the KHS.1 module are listed below: Inclusion of a KHS.1 module not yet installed in the Kilomux database. This allows the pre-programming of the module parameters, so when the module is installed in the enclosure, it will immediately start operating in the desired mode. This function is performed by means of the DEF SYS command. Selection of the main link to be used by the module, and when applicable, module priority. This function is performed using the DEF CON command. This command is available only on the Kilomux-2000/2100, provided it is operating in the dual-link, priority bumping or switched-backup mode (but not in the single link or redundancy modes). Programming of the module channel parameters, using the DEF CH command. Before starting the configuration procedure, obtain the list of prescribed channel parameters from your system administrator. 2-4 Configuration KHS.1

Inclusion of KHS.1 Module in Database If the KHS.1 module to be configured is not yet installed in the Kilomux, type: DEF SYS <Enter> The system parameters data form is displayed. A typical form for a Kilomux-2100 is shown below. The form presents the current parameter values as defaults. CLK_MASTER CLK_FBACK DWLD_BW_A DWLD_BW_B ML_MODE ML_RECOVERY FRAME_MODE N/A N/A NO NO SW_BACK AUTO AUTO Assuming that the only necessary changes are the inclusion of a new KHS.1 module in the system database, press >. The second line of the system parameters data form is displayed. A typical data form for a Kilomux-2100 is shown below: IO : TYPE(DB): KHS Note If the desired slot number is not shown, press <Enter> once or twice, until the desired group of slot numbers is displayed. Press the spacebar to move the cursor to the desired slot number, and then press F or B to scroll among the available selections. When the desired selection (KHS.1) is displayed, press the space bar to move to the next field. After the desired selections are made, press > to end. The supervision terminal will display the time and date fields, followed by the Kilomux prompt. Selection of Main Link and Priority (Kilomux-2000/2100 only) Note Skip this section if the main link mode is SINGLE or REDUNDANCY. This section describes the process of selecting main link and priority in the Kilomux-2000 (KCL.1). If you are using the Kilomux-2100 (KCL.2), see Appendix F of the Kilomux-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual. To define the main link and/or priority of a selected KHS.1 module, type: DEF CON <Enter> The connections table is displayed. The table lists the I/O slots and the main link currently used by each module, as well as the priority assigned to each module when a flip occurs from main link A to main link B and from main link B to main link A.

19 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Operation Considerations in the Selection of the CTS and RTS_CTS_DEL Parameters The selection of the parameters CTS and RTS_CTS_DEL depends on the specific requirements of each application. When analyzing your requirements, take into consideration the following recommendations that can help increase the throughput: When the application requires the transfer of the local RTS to the remote DCD, always select CTS=RTS and select MIN for RTS_CTS_DEL. There is no need to delay the CTS with respect to RTS, because in this case when a data transmission is started (i.e., the RTS line is switched to ON), the remote end will start receiving data only after the remote DCD line is switched to ON. In a multidrop configuration, such as that shown in figure 2-3, when CTS=RTS, it is necessary to select a RTS-CTS delay longer than the RTS-CTS delay of modem A. This is necessary because when the DTE connected to the West Kilomux signals the start of a transmission by setting its RTS line ON, there is a delay before modem A (that receives the RTS signal from the DCD line of the East Kilomux) returns ON on the CTS line. The West KILOMUX must therefore delay the CTS to the DTE by an interval, which is greater than the modem A RTS-CTS delay. If the delay is shorter, modem A will not transmit the beginning of the data transmission.

The diagnostic information presented in this chapter supplements the general Kilomux diagnostics operation instructions contained in Chapters 3 thru 6 of the Kilomux-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual. 3.2 Alarm Messages Table 3-1 lists the alarm messages generated by the KHS.1 module specifies their type (event or state), and explains their interpretation. The alarm messages generated by the KHS.1 module that are displayed by a supervision terminal connected to the Kilomux are listed in Chapter 4 of the Kilomux-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual. Table 3-1. KHS.1 Alarm Messages Alarm Message Type Interpretation HARDWARE ERROR State A KHS.1 hardware failure has been detected during the self-test. PHASOR OVERFLOW Event Phasor overflow occurred.

22 Chapter 3 Alarms and Diagnostics Installation and Operation Manual 3.3 Diagnostics The available functions are: Activation of a local or remote loop on the desired channel. Indication of the state of the lines that control the activation of CCITT Rec. V.54 loop 2 and loop 3 on the desired channel. Pseudo-random sequence (PRBS) transmission on the desired channel. Bit error rate test (BERT) with automatic remote loopback on the remote Kilomux channel (supported by Kilomux-2000/2004 system only). Monitoring of activity on the channel transmit and receive lines, and monitoring of the channel RTS and DCD lines by means of the Kilomux frontpanel indicators. The following sections describe the available test activities. For front-panel test activation instructions, refer to Chapter 3, Section 3-12 in Part I of this manual. For instructions on the activation of tests using a supervision terminal, refer to Chapter 4 in Part I. Test Types Local Channel Loop When a local loop is activated on a KHS.1 channel, the channel transmit signal is returned to the channel receive path. The transmit signal is still connected to the transmit path and reaches the remote user. While the loop is connected, the local user equipment must receive its own signal. The loop signal path is shown in Figure 3-1.

Local Channel Loop 3-2 Diagnostics KHS.1

23 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3 Alarms and Diagnostics This loop provides a quick check of the connections to the local user equipment. To execute a local channel loop, type the following text into the supervision terminal: LOOP L XX YY Where: XX is the slot number, and YY is the channel number. Remote Channel Loop The signal path depends on the downloading state: If downloading is enabled and a remote channel loop is activated on a KHS.1 channel of the local Kilomux-2000 unit, the KHS.1 module of the remote Kilomux-2000 unit loops back the channel receive signal toward the local channel. The received signal remains connected as usual to the receive path of that unit. The loop signal path is shown in Figure 3.3A. This loop allows the local user to perform a quick check of the end-to-end transmission on this channel. If downloading is disabled, the remote loop is connected on the local Kilomux unit, i.e., the local KHS.1 module returns the receive signal of the tested channel toward the remote Kilomux. The loop signal path is shown in Figure 3.3 B. This loop allows the remote user to perform a quick check of the end-to-end transmission on this channel. Note Downloading is supported only by the Kilomux-2000/2004 system. To execute a remote channel loop, type the following text into the supervision terminal: LOOP R XX YY Where: XX is the slot number, and YY is the channel number. Note The remote loop does not return the control signals. To receive the control signals, you must also perform the control-signal loop on the far-end Kilomux unit. Control Signal Loop When a control-signal loop is activated on a channel of the KLS.1 module (using the LOOP SIG command), the channel transmit control signals are returned to the channel receive control signals. The transmit control signals are not connected to the transmit path. While the loop is connected, the local user equipment receives its own control-signals. The transmitted data, however is connected to the transmit path and reaches the remote user. The received data path is also unaffected by the loop. The loop path is shown in Figure 3.2. Note The Control Signal loop is supported only by the Kilomux-2100/2104 system. If the Control Signal loop is active, data transfer may be momentarily affected when applying any type of loop command to the adjacent channel. KHS.1 Diagnostics 3-3

CCITT Rec. V.54 Loops KHS.1 channels support the CCITT Rec. V.54 loops 2 and 3. The state of the corresponding loop activation lines can be displayed to the operator. Loop 3 The channel CCITT Rec. V.54 loop 3 command is sent by the user's DTE, using the dedicated loop 3 activation line in the interface connector of KHS.1 channel. The command activates a local channel loop on the local KHS.1 channel (Figure 3.1). To execute a V.54 loop 3, type the following text into the supervision terminal: LOOP V54.3 ML Loop 2 The channel CCITT Rec. V.54 loop 2 command is sent by the user's DTE, using the dedicated loop 2 activation line in the interface connector of the KHS.1 channel. The response to a CCITT Rec. V.54 loop 2 command depends on the state of the downloading function: If downloading is disabled (or the system in use is Kilomux-2100/2104 and not Kilomux-2000/2004), a CCITT Rec. V.54 loop 2 command has no effect. If downloading is enabled, a CCITT Rec. V.54 loop 2 command results in the activation of a remote channel loop (on the remote Kilomux-2000 channel, as shown in Figure 3.3A). Note Downloading is supported only by the Kilomux-2000/2004 system. 3-4 Diagnostics KHS.1

26 Chapter 3 Alarms and Diagnostics Installation and Operation Manual PRBS Transmission The PRBS transmission function is used to provide a test signal to a selected channel of the KHS.1 module. By activating a local or remote main link loop, or a remote channel loop (or by connecting an external loop) while PRBS transmission is activated, this function can also be used to obtain a qualitative evaluation of data transmission without using external test equipment. Data transmission is checked by applying a (511) bit pseudo-random sequence generated by an internal test sequence generator to the input of the tested channel transmit path. The transmitted data is returned by means of a loop somewhere along the data path (e.g., by connecting a remote channel loop if downloading is enabled, or a local main link loop) to the receive path of the module. The received signal is routed to a test sequence evaluator. The evaluator compares the received data, bit by bit, to the original data and detects any difference (bit error). The output of the evaluator is sampled during module polling, to check whether errors were detected in the interval between consecutive pollings. The test results are displayed on a supervision terminal, the test results are displayed as a number in the range of 0 (no errors detected during the current measurement interval) thru The number of errors is accumulated from the activation of the PRBS transmission. During PRBS transmission, the tested channel is disconnected from the user data equipment, and the DSR line is turned off on the local side (the DSR line of the user equipment connected to the remote Kilomux module will not be disconnected). Only one PRBS or BERT test can be activated at any time on each KHS.1 module installed in the Kilomux unit. BERT Testing The BERT test is used to evaluate data transmission through a selected channel of the KHS.1 module without using external test equipment. The BERT test can be activated only when the downloading function is enabled, and the link to the remote Kilomux-2000/2004 operates normally. The BERT test is similar to the PRBS transmission test, except that before the evaluation of the received data starts, a remote channel loop is activated. This should cause the sequence to be transmitted along the full path. The test results are displayed as for PRBS transmission. Note This feature is supported only by Kilomux-2000/2004 systems. As for PRBS transmission, the BERT test can be activated on only one channel of each KHS.1 module installed in the Kilomux-2000/2004 unit, the tested channel is disconnected from the user data equipment, and its DSR line is turned off on the local side. 3-6 Diagnostics KHS.1

27 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3 Alarms and Diagnostics Recommended Test Sequence The loops available on the KHS.1 module provide a rapid and efficient way to identify the general location of a fault at either of the two KHS.1 channels connected in a link, or in the external equipment or connections to channels. If a complaint is received from one of the users connected to a KHS.1 channel, first activate the KHS.1 local test loop at the side where the complaint is received.
