Select the card slots

To install ISDN BRI cards, perform the following steps:
1 Identify all the slots that can contain them. First identify the modules
with unused network and peripheral card slots and then remove the
covers from the identified modules. To identify the modules, use the
following Print Programs. Table 1 lists the modules that can house
ISDN BRI cards.
• LD 22 to print the system configuration and identify unused
network card slots to install MISPs
• LD 20 to list unused IPE card slots to install SILCs, UILCs and
BRSCs

2 Locate the card slots in the Meridian 1 modules which can house ISDN
BRI cards. Group all SILCs, UILCs, BRSCs, superloops and the MISP
that supports them in the same network group to avoid using junctors
for dedicated connections.
The following rules apply when selecting the card slots:

ISDN Basic Rate Interface Installation

Page 16 of 46 Install ISDN BRI hardware

MISPs
• MISPs are inserted into the CE/Network Module for options 51C and
61C, and the Network Module for options 81C. Refer to the LD 22
printout to identify modules with unused network card slots and to
Table 1 for the card slots in these modules that can house MISPs.
• An MISP cannot share network loop addresses with a Superloop
Network Card in options 51C, 61C, and 81C. The MISP requires two
network loop addresses and one network card slot.
• An MISP supports a maximum of eight BRSCs and two line cards.
• An MISP supports a set of four SILCs or UILCs when not supporting a
BRSC.
• An MISP can support both BRSCs and SILCs or UILCs at the same time.
If it serves one BRSC, a MISP can also support three line cards. If it
supports two or more BRSCs, a MISP can also support two line cards.

BRSCs
• Install one BRSC per IPE module.
• With a BRSC configured, an IPE module can support a maximum of 15
line cards. These may be up to eight UILCs combined with any other
seven peripheral cards (including SILCs), or up to 15 SILCs.

SILCs/UILCs
• SILCs, UILCs and BRSCs are installed into the IPE card slots of the
CE/PE Module and/or the IPE Module for option 21E. They are installed
into the IPE Module for all other system options. Refer to the LD 20
printout to identify modules with unused peripheral card slots.

553-3901-200 Standard 7.00 January 2002

 Install ISDN BRI hardware Page 17 of 46

• In each module, install a maximum of 15 SILCs, or eight UILCs

combined with any other seven peripheral cards (including SILCs). If 15
SILCs are installed, the remaining slots in the module may contain a
BRSC, a UILCs or non-ISDN BRI cards that do not need the - 48 V
power supply of the IPE module (this restriction is due to power supply
limitations for the module). If 8 UILCs are used, you may install any
other card which could reside in the IPE module.
• Group all SILCs, UILCs, BRSCs and the MISP that supports them in the
same network group to avoid using junctors for dedicated connections.
The figures that follow show typical module configurations.

Cross-connect the MDF

The MDF cross-connects NE-A25B cables connected to SILC and UILC
ports with building wiring connected to ISDN BRI terminals.

Each SILC provides eight four-wire full duplex ports. These ports are
connected to building wiring to form DSLs. These ports are polarity sensitive.
Signal polarity must be maintained along each loop.

Each UILC provides eight two-wire full duplex ports. These ports are
connected to twisted pair building wiring to form DSLs. These DSLs are not
polarity sensitive and, although it is recommended, it is not necessary to
maintain signal polarity along each loop.

Figure 7 and Figure 8 illustrate, respectively, a cross-connection of an SILC

port and an UILC port to the building wiring.

Cross-connect SILC and/or UILC ports to the building wiring

1 Identify the card type (SILC or UILC) for a connector on the MDF.
Refer to the IPE or CE/PE module card location form, which shows the
card type connected to each I/O panel connector.
2 Identify transmit and receive pairs on the top of the labeled distribution
strip for the card type and module type you are connecting. To identify
SILC or UILC ports and their pin numbers, refer to Tables 4 through
10, which follow the illustrations.
Note: In Tables 4 through 10, the cable pair designated T- T+ is the
transmit pair and the pair designated R+ R- is the receive pair of the
S/T interface. The cable pair designated T R is the Tx and Rx of the
2B1Q full duplex U interface.

3 Identify building wires connected to the bottom of the distribution strip.

Refer to the Building Cable Plan, which identifies wires between
distribution frames and wall outlets.
4 Plug in the terminating resistor (Part Number A0378866) at the
appropriate location in each S/T DSL. See “Engineering Guidelines” in
the ISDN Basic Rate Interface: Product Description (553-3901-100) for
engineering rules and locations of terminating resistors.

Connect the ISDN BRI terminals to the DSL

ISDN BRI terminals are connected to DSLs using modular cables up to 10
meters (33 feet) long, with RJ-45 plugs on each end. One end of the cable
plugs into the terminal and the other end plugs into the wall outlet.

Note: All ISDN BRI terminals should comply with CCITT, ANSI,
ETSI NET-3, INS NET-64, National ISDN, 1TR6, Numeris VN2, and
D70 standards for terminals, and be compatible with Meridian 1. For a
list of compatible terminals, refer to the ISDN Basic Rate Interface:
Product Description (553-3901-100).

Figure 9 illustrates a terminal connection to the S/T interface; Figure 10

illustrates a network termination (NT1) connection to the U interface.

1 Plug one end of the modular cable into the ISDN BRI interface
connector on the terminal, and the other end of the modular cable into
the wall outlet.
2 For an SILC S/T interface terminal with an optional auxiliary power
source, plug the power source into the wall outlet, then plug the cable
into the power source's RJ-45 jack. This power source must supply
power only to the local ISDN BRI terminal, not back into the DSL
through the RJ-45 wall outlet. The power adapter is supplied with the
terminal.
3 Program the terminal parameters, such as the SPID and TEI, as
required by the type of terminal. For detailed information pertaining to
this procedure, refer to the section “Initialize ISDN BRI terminals”,
found in ISDN Basic Rate Interface: Administration (553-3901-300).
4 Repeat steps 1 and 3 for each terminal to be connected.

—————————— End of Procedure ——————————

Connect the terminating resistors

DSLs require that a terminating resistor (Part Number A0378866) be
connected at the end of each loop. See ISDN Basic Rate Interface: Product
Description (553-3901-100), for engineering rules and locations of
terminating resistors. The end of the S/T interface loop has a RJ-45 jack to
plug in the telephone cable. Plug the terminating resistor into the RJ-45 and
then plug the telephone cable into the terminating resistor. Note that for every
port there is one loop with only one terminating resistor per loop. Each loop
may have up to eight telephones.

Install ISDN BRI hardware for trunk applications

The following lists the procedures for install ISDN BRI hardware for ISDN
BRI trunk applications. Meridian 1 must already be installed and operating
according to the instructions in System Installation Procedures
(553-3001-210) before performing these procedures.

For a successful installation, perform these procedures in the order listed

below:
1 Select the card slots where the ISDN BRI cards will be located
2 Install the MISP
3 Install clock referencing on the SILC
4 Install the SILC and/or UILC
5 Connect Meridian 1 to the MDF
6 Cross-connect the MDF (in Terminal Equipment mode)

Note: The Meridian 1, in Tie trunk or CO connectivity, requires a

different wiring configuration than for a line application; the transmit and
receive pairs should be reversed, as illustrated in Figure 12.

Select the card slots

Follow the same procedures as described earlier for line applications (refer to
“Select the card slots” on page 15).

Remove the module cover for card installation

Follow the same procedures as described earlier for line applications (refer to
“Remove the module cover for card installation” on page 19).

Install the MISP

Follow the same procedures as described earlier for line applications (refer to
“Install the MISP” on page 20).

Install the clock reference on the SILC

The DSL#0 and DSL#1 on an SILC card can be configured as the reference
clock source, with DSL#0 being assigned for the primary clock reference and
DSL#1 being assigned for the secondary clock reference.

553-3901-200 Standard 7.00 January 2002

 Install ISDN BRI hardware Page 39 of 46

The loop number and location of the primary and secondary clock source is
configured in the Digital Data Block overlay 73. Refer to the ISDN Basic Rate
Interface: Administration (553-3901-300).

The following procedure should be followed to provide clock referencing on

the SILC.

Note: For procedures on how to install the QPC775/QPC471 Clock

Controller on the various Meridian 1 systems, please refer to ISDN PRI:
Installation (553-2901-201).

1 Maintain the same polarity on each transmit and receive. Rewire the
selected Tx and Rx pairs (applicable to DSL0 and DSL1), to exchange
the Tx and Rx pair position. This rewiring is done at the Main
Distribution Frame (MDF).
2 Remove the phantom power jumpers (two jumpers per DSL) from the
pin headers.
3 Place the SILC in the selected IPE slot.
4 Configure the selected DSL as TE mode (in overlay 27).
5 Enable the clock in overlay 60, to output the clock references to the
IPE back plane pins.
6 Configure the Clock Controller card to accept ISDN BRI clock
reference.
7 Check the appropriate messages from the Clock Controller to ensure
that it is synchronized to the proper clock reference (this is done using
overlay 60).
8 Connect the ISDN BRI clock reference cables to the Clock Controller,
using the procedures which follow.

—————————— End of Procedure ——————————

Connect clock reference cables

The following procedure should be followed to connect the ISDN BRI clock
reference cables to the Clock Controller. There are three different cables that
route clock signals from the IPE back plane to the Clock Controller face plate
(as shown in Figure 11). These are shown in Table 7.:

panel.

NTND72AA 6.5 Connects CE I/O to Clock

Controller face plate.

Note: Measure the distance between the IPE and CE modules to ensure
that you order the correct cable lengths.

1 Search for available D-sub 9 connector slots on the I/O panels of the
selected IPE and CE I/O modules (if the I/O panel is equipped with
D-sub 9 connector slots). If none is available, look for an empty slot
used for 25 pair wire connectors (the cables contain two adapter plates
to convert an 25 wire slot to two D-sub 9 connector slots).
2 Connect the cables as shown in Figure 11; if choosing IPE slots 0, 4,
8, or 12 the transmit and receive cable installed on pins 72 - 79 should
be removed and secured to a proper place.

Clock recovery
The SILC is configured in the slave-slave mode when acting as a trunk
interface. This is set up through the Maintenance Signaling Channel (MSC).
The microcontroller configures the S/T chips on the SILC as appropriate.

The SILC may recover the network clock from the received data stream using
on-chip phase lock loops. The clock frequency which is recovered is 2.56
MHz. The jitter and wander conform to CCITT recommendations.

All of the S/T chips on the SILC could be configured as Terminal Equipment
Slaves (TES), but only the clocks recovered from DSL0 and DSL1 are routed
to the back plane connector pins. These clocks are provided as differential
pairs on back plane pins, as follows: in

Table 8
Clocks as differential pairs

Differential pairs Pin # Row A Row B

Primary 73 +Ref 0A - Ref 0A

Primary 74 +Ref 1A - Ref 1A

Secondary 75 +Ref 0B - Ref 0B

Secondary 76 +Ref 1B - Ref 1A

Automatic clock recovery is done upon the expiration of the free run guard
timer. Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock, if defined. If the
primary reference clock is disabled, tracking is restored to the secondary
reference clock, if defined.

Install the SILC and the UILC

Follow the same procedures as described earlier for line applications (refer to
“Install the BRSC, SILC and UILC” on page 21).

Connect Meridian 1 to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF)

Follow the same procedures as described earlier for line applications (refer to
“Connect Meridian 1 modules to the MDF” on page 24).

Cross-connect the Main Distribution Frame (MDF)

The Meridian 1, in Tie trunk or CO connectivity, requires a different wiring
configuration than for a line application; the transmit and receive pairs should
be reversed, as illustrated in Figure 12.
