Channelized T1 or E1 Trunk Card

The Cisco AS5800 universal access server supports channelized T1 (CT1) and channelized E1 (CE1) ingress interfaces that provide a synchronous telecommunications interface in both North American and international environments. The CT1 or CE1 trunk card is installed in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf in the Cisco AS5800.

This chapter explains how to remove and replace a CT1 or CE1 trunk card in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf chassis. It also includes steps for verifying and troubleshooting your CT1 or CE1 trunk card installation.

CT1 and CE1 Trunk Card Overview

Channelized ingress interfaces reside on either CT1 or CE1 trunk cards that are installed in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf. A CT1 or CE1 trunk card contains all necessary functionality to terminate incoming telephone calls. The channelized trunk card is configured in the factory for either T1 or E1 framing, depending on your order.

Figure 2-1 shows the CT1 and CE1 trunk card components.

Figure 2-1: CT1 and CE1 Trunk Card

The CT1 and CE1 trunk cards perform the following functions:

Terminate as many as12 T1 or 12 E1 lines

: The CT1 trunk card provides physical termination for as many as 12 T1/Primary Rate Interface (PRI) lines, includes channel service units (CSUs), and connects directly to the telco network, while the CE1 trunk card provides physical termination for as many as 12 E1 lines and connects to an external network termination (NT1) device.

Demultiplex calls

: A framer removes framing and embedded signaling bits (or inserts them, depending on the direction of the flow), and the framer CPU sends the data stream to onboard time-division multiplexing (TDM) resources, which break out each call (DS0) and pass each call to an appropriate call termination resource. Digital or ISDN-originated calls are terminated onboard the CT1 or CE1 trunk card on High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) controllers, and analog modem-originated calls are passed over the dial shelf backplane TDM bus to an available modem resource. The system software controls modem and HDLC resource management.

Respond to time-sensitive signaling

: Each individual T1 or E1 port can be used as the system clocking reference. Each CT1 or CE1 trunk card can supply two clocks from any two of its 12 ports. You can assign priorities to these clocks or accept the default values assigned by the software.

Process counting information for performance monitoring
Support online insertion and removal (OIR)

: The CT1 or CE1 trunk card supports OIR, a feature that allows you to remove and replace trunk cards in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf while the system is operating without disrupting other cards and their associated calls. If you remove a trunk card while the system is operating, all calls associated with the lines on that card are dropped. Calls being handled by other trunk or modem cards, however, are not affected. For more information, see the "Busyout Command" section.

Figure 2-2 shows two CT1 or CE1 trunk cards installed in a fully configured Cisco 5814 dial shelf chassis.

Figure 2-2: Cisco 5814 Dial Shelf Chassis Fully Configured with Cards Installed

Clocking

All Cisco AS5800 access server trunk cards use the same transmit clock. This clock can originate from several sources, which are as follows:

TDM clock source---A priority value from 1 to 50 that is applied to a clock source when multiple clock sources are used
External clock source---A clock source external to the access server

Clocks are prioritized by slot number (slots 0 to 5). The highest-priority clock is selected from the card in slot 0 and used as the default clock. If this clock fails, the highest-priority clock from the card in slot 1 becomes the default clock, and so forth.

The trunk card then forwards the clocks to the dial shelf controller. The dial shelf controller selects the highest-priority clock as the system primary clock, and the rest of the clocks remain in a prioritized backup queue.

Instead of using the default algorithm for clock selection, you can specify clocks through global configuration and select a maximum of two clocks per trunk card.

If you configure fewer than two clocks on a trunk card and all other configured clocks fail, clock selection resorts to the default algorithm on that card and the second clock will be selected automatically.

LED and LCD Indicators

The CT1 and CE1 trunk card front panels are designed with LED indicators (Figure 2-3) and a liquid crystal display (LCD) (Figure 2-4) to provide trunk card status and port-level monitoring information.

Figure 2-3: CT1 and CE1 Trunk Card Front Panel LEDs

There are two types of LEDs for the T1 and E1 trunk cards:

Card-level LEDs, which provide status information for card maintenance
Port-associated LEDs, which provide warning signals and configuration status for individual ports.

All LEDs are visible from the front panel. (See Figure 2-3.)

Table 2-1 lists the CT1 and CE1 trunk card LEDs and their functions.

Trunk Card Bantam Jacks

Passive port monitoring is supported through two shared bantam jacks located at the bottom of the trunk card front panel. (See Figure 2-4.) The bantam jacks allow you to connect a network monitoring device to the trunk card to detect T1 or E1 errors.

The four-character LCD indicates which line is to be monitored or inspected using the bantam jacks.

To enable the bantam jacks for port monitoring, follow these steps:

Step 1 Push and quickly release the monitor button below the LCD to toggle to the port number you want to monitor.

You must release the button within two seconds to advance through the port numbers (from 0 to 11). After port 11, the display returns to port 0. As you advance through the port numbers, the LEDs reflect configuration status and alarm conditions for the port number displayed in the LCD.

Step 2 Push and hold the monitor button for two or more seconds to enable the bantam jack. To disable the bantam jack and return to toggle mode, press the button again and hold it for two or more seconds.

When you release the button, the port LCD no longer toggles through the port numbers, the letter "B" is displayed in the LCD, and the bantam jacks are enabled.

Step 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to enable the bantam jacks for each port you want to monitor.

CT1 and CE1 Trunk Card Port Pinout

The CT1 trunk card receives and transmits 1.544-Mbps signals through a 100-ohm cable, using common RJ-45 connectors. Use a straight-through RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable to connect the T1 lines to an RJ-45 receptacle.

The CE1 trunk card receives and transmits 2.048-Mbps CE1 signals through either 120-ohm or 75-ohm coaxial cable. All CE1 interface cables use common RJ-45 connectors on the dial shelf end.

The receive impedance is software configurable as 75 ohms or 120 ohms. The T1 default value is 100 ohms. The E1 default value is 120 ohms. Use the line termination {75-ohm | 120-ohm} command in controller configuration mode to configure the receive impedance.

Connecting Trunk Card Cables

The CT1 and CE1 trunk cards provide 12 RJ-45 receptacles for T1 or E1 lines. To connect T1or E1 lines, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach the RJ-45 end of the T1 or E1 cable directly to the RJ-45 receptacle on the trunk card. (See Figure 2-11.)

Step 2 For T1 cabling, attach the network end of your CT1 cables to your external network.

Step 3 For E1 cabling, attach the network end of your CE1 cables to your network termination (NT1) device.

Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the unit first. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information that accompanied this device.

Figure 2-11: CT1 and CE1 Trunk Card RJ-45 Cable Connections

Configuring Cable Length

When you configure your CT1 trunk cards, you must include the length of the cable connected to the card. To specify this length, use the cablelength command. No cablelength command is required for CE1 trunk cards.

If you change the cable length when installing and cabling a new trunk card, you need to specify cable length in your software configuration. The cablelength command is designed to recognize two settings:

Cable Length Short

Cable length short defines the length of the cable (in feet) between your network access server (NAS) and your repeater. The cablelength short command includes the following settings:

133 feet (0 to 133 feet)
266 feet (134 to 266 feet)
399 feet (267 to 399 feet)
533 feet (400 to 533 feet)
655 feet (534 to 655 feet)

Note Although the cable length may range from 0 to 655 feet, the hardware recognizes only fixed lengths. For example, if the cable length between your NAS and your repeater is 50 feet, you should configure your cable length using the 133 feet setting. If you later change the cable length to 200 feet, reconfigure your cable length using the 266 feet setting.

Cable Length Long

Cable length long defines the length range between your NAS and your repeater in gain and pulse. The cablelength long command includes the following gain and pulse settings:

gain 26 (26 db gain)
gain 36 (36 db gain)
-15 db (-15 db pulse)
-22.5 db (-22.5 db pulse)
-7.5 db (-7.5 db pulse)

To configure cable length, you must be in global configuration mode. Table 2-15 lists commands to help you configure your CT1 lines using the cablelength command.

Note When you configure your system for CT1 lines, you must also include additional commands to define framing, line code, clock source, signaling, and so forth. For complete instructions on how to configure your trunk card lines, refer to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Software Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your system. The Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Software Installation and Configuration Guide will be replaced by the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Operation, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning Guide, available later this year.

4 .

AS5800-1(config-controller)#
cablelength short 133

[or]

AS5800-1(config-controller)#
cablelength long gain 26 }
Enter the controller cablelength short value (133, 266, 399, 533, or 655).

Enter the controller cablelength long value using gain 26 or gain 36 and pulse (-15, -22.5, -7.5, or 0).

This completes the trunk card installation procedure. To verify the installation, proceed to the following section, "Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation."

V erifying and Troubleshooting the Installation

When you first power ON your Cisco AS5800 access server, all LEDs light while the system runs a series of diagnostics. After the system passes initial diagnostics, all LEDs go off. The LEDs then light again as described in Table 2-1.

To complete the installation, verify that the trunk card LEDs operate properly by observing the following LED states:

The power LED is ON.

: If the power LED remains OFF, verify that the card is seated properly.
: If the power LED lights on other trunk cards in the dial shelf, try inserting the trunk card in a different slot. If none of the power LEDs lights, check your dial shelf power connections, power entry modules, and AC-input power supplies (if present).

The HCPU LED is ON.

: If the HCPU LED is OFF but the power LED is ON, the software image might have failed to load onto the card. The dial shelf controller attempts to reload the software automatically. After a programmed number of attempts to reload the software image fail, the dial shelf controller powers OFF the trunk card and all LEDs shut off.
: If this happens, assume that the failure is due to defective hardware. Return the card to the factory for replacement. For information on how to contact Cisco, see the "Cisco Connection Online" section.

The FCPU LED is ON.

: If the FCPU LED is OFF while the HCPU LED is ON, either the hardware is defective or the framer processor software has crashed. To determine if the failure is software related, wait while the auto-reload feature on the dial shelf controller card attempts to reload the software image. If the software fails to reload after the programmed number of times, assume that the failure is due to defective hardware. Return the card to the factory for replacement.

Tips For further installation troubleshooting information, refer to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Hardware Installation Guide.

Configuring the CT1 and CE1 Trunk Card

The Cisco 5814 dial shelf recognizes CT1 and CE1 trunk cards only in slots 0 to 5 within the dial shelf chassis. Therefore, install trunk cards only in one of the first six slots.

If you are replacing a dial shelf card by installing a new dial shelf card of the same type in the same slot, the system software recognizes the new dial shelf card interfaces and brings them up automatically. No additional configuration is needed.

If you are installing a trunk card in a different slot than the trunk card that you just removed, additional configuration is needed. Refer to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Software Installation and Configuration Guide to configure the CT1 and CE1 interfaces. The Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Software Installation and Configuration Guide will be replaced by the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Operation, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning Guide, available later this year.
