BASIC UNIT
 

• The basic unit includes power supply, E1 main link and data port, and four ISDN "S" interface ports.

• The E1 interface is compatible with almost all carrier provided E1 services and meets ITU recommendations G.703, G.704, G.706 and G.732. It supports either 2 or 16 frames per multiframe, with or without CRC-4. Zero suppression over the line is HDB3. The integral LTU (optional) ensures a range of up to 2 km.

• FCD-E1I can be ordered with a fiber optic main link, which eliminates the need for an external fiber optic modem. The fiber optic link complies with ITU standards G.703, G.921 and G.956.

• The following fiber optic interfaces are available:
  • 850 nm LED for use over multimode fiber at distances up to 5 km
  • 1300 nm LED for use over single mode fibers at distances up to 47 km
  • 1300 nm laser diode for use over single mode fibers for range up to 62 km
  • 1550 nm laser diode for use over single mode fibers for extended range up to 100 km.

• Timeslot assignment is programmable, allowing data from the data port and from the sub-E1 port to be placed into timeslots consecutively. FCD-E1I provides additional flexibility by giving full user control over the data port timeslot allocation, without restrictions.

• Multiple clock source selection ensures maximum flexibility for supporting different applications. The E1 main link may be clocked from the recovered receive clock, from an internal oscillator, from one of the data ports or from the sub-E1 port.

• FCD-E1I is available as a standalone unit for desktop use. A rack-mount adapter kit enables installation of one or two units in a 19" rack.

USER INTERFACE
 

• The data ports interfaces can be ordered as V.35, RS-530,
  V.36/RS-449 or X.21. The ports can operate in the following clock modes:
  DCE: Transmit and receive clocks are output
  DTE1: External transmit clock is input (coming from the user DTE)
  DTE2: Both transmit and receive clocks are externally input.

• The four ISDN "S" interfaces can be used for extending ISDN services to locations that do not support ISDN. Each "S" interface port operates in full duplex over 4-wire twisted-pair for a range of up to 1000m (3300 ft).

• The ISDN "S" interface ports can operate in the following clock modes:
  NT Transmit clock timing is locked to the nodal timing
  TE Transmit clock timing is derived from the RX signal from the NT (ISDN switch). The unit's nodal clock can be locked on to this clock.

• The optional sub-E1 port can be configured to work without CRC-4, while the main E1 link is working with CRC-4. This enables connection of E1 equipment not supporting CRC-4, over an E1 network that is working with CRC-4.

MANAGEMENT & MAINTENANCE

• Setup, control and monitoring of status and diagnostics information can be activated via:
  • ASCII terminal connected to the async control port command line interpreter
  • SNMP management connected to the async control port.

• FCD-E1I has an internal SNMP agent and can be controlled by any generic SNMP station or by the RADview SNMP network management application. In addition, configuration and monitoring is provided via TELNET or a dumb terminal.

• FCD-E1I supports dial-in modem connections. These connections can be used for remote
  out-of-band configuration and monitoring.

• In-band management can be performed by using the spare bits (SA bits) on timeslot 0 or by using a dedicated timeslot. This allows setup, monitoring and diagnostics of the remote unit. In-band access by using spare bits on timeslot 0 is possible only if those bits are passed transparently end-to-end.

• Maintenance capabilities include user activated local and remote loopbacks at the main E1 link, sub-E1 port and data port. The user can activate a BER test for the data port. The data port responds to an ANSI FT1 in-band loop code, generated from the remote FCD-E1I in a specific bundle of timeslots allocated only to that port.

• When operating with CRC-4, E1 network statistics are stored in memory according to RFC-1406. The statistic information may be retrieved locally through the control port.
