2.3.2 Electrical Connections

Either AC power or DC power will be used, depending on the model ordered. Power connection is at the rearof the unit. For the AC model, a power cord is supplied. For the DC model, -48 Vdc power is inserted via a 3-pin terminal block. Table 2-1 lists the pin definition for this power connector.

Table 2- 1 Power Connector

Pin Number Signal Description1 -V -DC 48 Volts2 +V +DC Return3 Chassis Ground

If the dual module, dual feed power supply option is to be installed, independent power feeds must be wiredto the power supply card. With dual feed, if any one power source fails, or if any one power module fails, theremaining functions of the unit will continue. If only one power feed is used, the advantage of a dual powermodule is still available. One LED for each power module indicates the status of that power module. Whenone power module has failed, a scheduled replacement of the entire module is necessary.

The Loop-V 4100 is designed to allow for "hot plug-in" or “hot-swapping” of modules. This means thatinterface cards can be inserted and removed with the main chassis powered up. Onreplacement of a plug-incard, the previous configuration of the port will be used if the replaced card is of the same type. Otherwise,the factory default configuration for that card type will be used. The configuration must be changed from thedefault if a different card type is inserted.


2-4

2.3.3 CPU Connection

The Loop-V 4200-28 can support two CPU boards for redundancy. These two boards are placed in the slots,located in the rear of the chassis, marked “CR 1” and “CR 2”. When the system starts, one CPU board willautomatically become the primary unit, and the other will become the redundant.

Once this is determined, the redundant board will synchronize with the primary. The synchronization processcopies the user-stored configuration from the primary to the redundant board’s flash ROM. Though thisprocedure takes only a few seconds, it is important that no modules be removed or installed duringthis process.

CPU Boards can be removed or installed at any time. If the primary CPU board is removed, the system willautomatically switch to the redundant, and if a new unit is placed in its position, that new unit will synchronizeto the new primary and remain the new redundant CPU board. If the redundant CPU board is removed, andreplaced, the new board will synchronize with the primary unit, and there is no change in service. However, ifa primary CPU board fails, and command is switched to the redundant, or is removed, interruption in servicewill occur.

NOTE: When control changes to the redundant CPU board, an interruption in service will take place.

NOTE: When the redundant CPU board is performing the synchronization process, do not add or removemodules.

2.4 Terminal Connection

A VT100 type terminal can be connected for maintenance and administration using the console port with aDB9 connector, located on the front of the unit. If ordered with the SNMP Ethernet option, management froma Telnet or Network Management System (NMS) can be effected through a LAN.

The Ethernet port can be accessed via an Ethernet 10-Base-T interface. Pin definitions are listed in Table 2-2below.

Table 2- 2 Ethernet Port

Pin Number Signal Description1 TPTX+ TP Driver Output2 TPTX-3 TPRX+ TP Receive Input6 TPRX-7 Chassis GND8 Chassis GND

The console port is configured as a DCE (data circuit-terminating equipment) device. It is designed to matchthe DB9 PC COM PORT of most lap-top computers. Pin definitions are listed in Table 2-3 in the followingsection.

3 OPERATION

This chapter describes the configuration options and operational functions. Refer to Chapter 5: TerminalOperation for detailed operational procedures of the main unit. Each module also has operationaldescriptions in their respective manuals.

3.1 Quick Start

This quick start section is provided to give a brief overview so operation can begin immediately.

3.2 Power OnTurn power on by attaching a power cable to the rear of the unit. The unit is shipped with factory defaultsetting.

After power up, factory defaults can be restored to the main unit itself and to the ports. To restore the factorydefault to the main unit, use the Y-command. To restore the factory default to the ports (all at once), use theK-command.

3.3 Self TestAt system power up, a complete self-test routine is run to check all I/O ports, read/write memory, and datapaths to validate system integrity. During the system self test, the Power LED on the CPU card will flashindicating that a self-test is underway.

3.4 Using a TerminalTo use the RS232 interface to configure the unit, connect a VT100 terminal to the DB9 jack, marked Console.The VT100 terminal can also be a PC running a VT100 emulator software. The CONSOLE port isconfigured as a DCE device.Upon connection, press ENTER and ESC alternately to bring the main menu into view. Then, refer to theinstructions in Chapter 5: Terminal Operation.

Use "I" command to get the card status. Press "H" followed by the slot number to choose a unit.

3.5 System Operation

3.5.1 ProtectionThere are several protection, or backup, options available, including redundant power supply, redundantCPU/cross connect core, redundant Broadband, and low speed port protection.

When two power supplies are installed, which can be a mix of AC and DC, the power is protected, and theload is shared between the two power supplies. When one fails, the other will take up the full load. The failedunit can then be replaced by a good unit without disrupting normal operations. See Section 2.3.2 for moreinformation.

When two CPU boards are installed, the CPU and the switching matrix (time slot interchange) are protected.At startup, one CPU board will assume the primary mode, and the other will be the redundant. The twoboards continually exchange status information. When the redundant board determines that the primary hasfailed, it will take over control. When the failed board is replaced, the new board will assume the redundantmode. See Section 2.3.3 for more information.

If two broadband modules are used (STM1, DS3, etc), they protect one another in one of two methods: spanprotection and circuit protection. In span protection, a line to the network must be maintained to each module,

Chapter 3 Operation

one of which will be the primary, and the other the secondary. When the system determines that the primarymodule (or span) has failed, it will automatically switch to the secondary. In circuit protection, a switchingcard is used between the two modules. The span is connected to the switching card, which transfers the datato the primary module. When the switching card determines that the primary module has failed, it will switchthe data stream to the secondary. In addition, the switching card continually checks the secondary modulefor status and an alarm will be triggered if the secondary is determined to have failed.

3.5.2 DateThe main chassis is equipped with a Real Time Clock (RTC). The current date and time can be changed asnecessary. The RTC is activated by the manufacturer before shipping. The RTC

3.5.3 Master Clock

The Loop-V 4100 has a system clock Phase Lock Loop (PLL), which may be phase locked to the internalclock, an external clock, or the OC3/STM1 and High Density E1 card’s clock inputs. The external clockfollows ITU G.703 specifications, which is either a 2.048 MHz or a 1.544 MHz AMI signal (external clockfrequency specified on order).

The default clock configurations are as follows: (a) master clock, (b) second clock (c) current clock, (d) clockrecover. When the master clock source is lost, the system will automatically switch to the second clocksource.

The secondary clock is used to provide an alternative clock source when the primary clock source islost, the current active clock source is shown by the terminal S-command. If the second clock sourceis lost as well, the Loop-V 4100 will automatically switch to the internal clock source.

If clock recover mode is manual, the Loop-V 4100 will not automatically return to the master clock sourcewhen the master clock source returns. In order to switch back to the master clock source, the clock must bereselected as the master clock source via the terminal using the S-command.

If clock recover mode is automatic, the Loop-V 4100 will return to the master clock source one minute afterthe master clock is recovered. The current active clock source is automatically changed to master clock.

3.5.4 Console PortThe console port allows usage of a local VT-100 terminal for system configuration, diagnostics, polling statusreports, etc. The console port baud, data bit length, stop bit length, parity bit length, XON-XOFF flow control,and interface type defaults, are shown below.

3.5.5 Logon, Logoff and Password

Logoff prevents system configuration changes at the terminal, while logon allows system configurationchanges. The password feature is used to augment lock control against unauthorized terminal users fromchanging system parameters from the terminal. With the password enabled, logon requires entering thecorrect password. If password is disabled, no password is required to logon.

The default option of the password is disabled.

The default password is LOOP.

3.6 ConfigurationCurrent configurations can be stored into a non-volatile memory. This allows the ability to retrieve the laststored configuration as well as set to this configuration after a reset/restart. Except for the time slotinterchange configuration described below, which is part of the main chassis, all other configurations refer tothe plug-in cards, which are operative only when one or more cards of those types are installed.

3.7 Time Slot Interchange (Digital Access Cross-Connect)An important function of the Loop-V 4100 is Time Slot Interchange (TSI), also known as Digital AccessCross-connect System (DACS), where each DS0 time slot of any line can be assigned to any DS0 time slotof any line including itself. The assignment table is called a map. A map contains the DS0 time slotassignments of all time slots for all lines. An idle code is transmitted on all unused time slots. The defaultDS0 time slot assignment of all ports is idle channel. When a time slot is assigned to itself, for example A(M)to A(M), a loopback of that time slot towards the line results.

In the case of a data type plug-in card, the data can be assigned to as many DS0 time slots as the data raterequires. These DS0 time slots must be assigned to the same port, though not necessarily contiguous DS0time slots of that port.

In the case of a data type plug-in card, the data can be assigned to as many DS0 time slots as the data raterequires. These DS0 time slots must be assigned to the same port, though not necessarily contiguous DS0time slots of that port.

NOTE: The payloads from an original source must be kept in a group in their original order when they aremapped or the data will not arrive in the correct order.

Chapter 3 Operation

The following diagram shows data payloads from remote units being mapped to a Loop-V 4100 which willmap them on to another part of the network. The payloads are kept grouped together with their individualcomponents in their original order.

3.8 Alarms and ReportsFor the HD_E1 plug-in card, the Loop-V 4100 has many types of alarms, as listed in Table 3-3 below. TheLoop-V 4100 also has an alarm queue which records the latest 200 alarms with a time stamp. Alarm historyand alarm status registers, which are used to track the alarm count, are also available. Each alarm can beindividually enabled or disabled. When disabled, no action is taken. When enabled, the alarm counterincrements on the occurrence of the specific type of alarm. When alarms occur or the counter threshold isexceeded, an alarm is triggered.

All alarms are disabled by default.

Individual fault counts are updated every second. Bipolar Violation (BPV) counts are updated every second,but the BPV alarm is based on an average Bit Error Rate (BER) that is calculated over a 15-minute interval.Therefore, the BPV alarm status is updated every 15 minutes after the average BER is calculated. If theaverage BPV rate exceeds the preset threshold i.e., from 10-9 up to 10-6, an alarm can be declared(assuming BPV alarm is enabled). ES and UAS employ threshold-triggered alarms, but these alarms aredeclared as soon as the recorded account exceeds the preset threshold. The 15-minute integration intervaldoes not apply to ES and UAS alarms. Alarm register states are reset every 15 minutes, but preserved in theAlarm History display.

The following table shows performance report options available and the method to clear the registers. Foralarms & reports for individual cards, consult the manual for the respective module.

3.10 SNMP ConnectionThe embedded SNMP agent, if installed, for the Loop-V 4100 offers standard RFC 1213 MIB II as well asLoop Telecom's enterprise MIB access. The network manager can use any SNMP compatible networkmanagement system such as Sun Connect's Sun Net Manager and Hewlett-Packard's HP Open View tomonitor and control the system. This enables integration of WAN equipment management with LAN SNMPnetwork management systems. The embedded SNMP agent also includes Telnet implementation to allowaccess to the Loop-V 4100’s terminal interface from any workstation in the network.

Telnet

LAN Port

Ethernet

Figure 3- 1 SNMP Connection

Before SNMP is enabled, make sure the IP address for the Loop-V 4100 is configured correctly and thecommunication parameters match the Terminal server port.

Once the SNMP agent is activated, the ping command can be used to verify the status of the Loop-V 4100.The command is as folows:

$ ping 192.1.100.45

192.1.100.45 is alive

Please refer to each respective SNMP manager operation instruction to incorporate the Loop-V 4100 seriesenterprise MIB to the system.

Telnet capability comes with the optional SNMP agent. Once the SNMP agent is running, a Telnet program,which simulates a VT100 terminal, can be used to access the Loop-V 4100 command screen. The mostpopular Telnet utility in the public domain is provided by NCSA. It can maintain several telnet connectionssimultaneously.

If the Console port is to be used, it is recommended to set the Console port parameters to run at the highestspeed to reduce the jittery output on the terminal. The Loop-V 4100 can run reliably at 38.4K bps

3.11 Verifying Loop-V 4100 Operations

The purpose of this section is not to help the user determine where a possible fault in the network may lie.For this, the user needs to know the exact geometry of the network. Then standard network trouble shootingprocedures should be followed, which involve sectionalizing the network and performing loopback tests onpieces of the network.

The purpose here is to help the user determine whether the LOOP-V 4100 equipment is at fault after testshave pointed a suspicious finger at this equipment. The procedures outlined here depends on test equipmentand other equipment the user may have on hand.

The organization of these procedures start from the simple to the complex. The procedure ends when adefinitive conclusion is made that the LOOP-V 4100 equipment is at fault. To verify that the LOOP-V 4100equipment is not at fault, specialized equipment such as a BERT (bit error rate test) set is needed.

3.11.1 Quick TestRemove all line connections to LOOP-V 4100. Remove power. After a few seconds, re-apply power. Observethe power-up self-test sequence. If this fails, then LOOP-V 4100 has failed.

See if the LEDs show any abnormal displays. If yes, use the LED indications to guide the user to test otherparts of the network.Especially during initial installation, excessive errors may be due to (a) incorrect configuration of eitherLOOP-V 4100 or of the equipment at the other end of the line, or (b) due to faulty line installation, whichresults in excessive noise, cross talk, or impedance mismatch. Especially in electrically noisy environments,such as central offices, the use of shielded cables is mandatory.

3.11.2 Using Hardware LoopbackWithout a spare unit, hardware loopbacks are handy for diagnosis. Note that the internal loopback facilitiesof the Loop-V 4100 do not include the interface circuitry for this type of testing. Thus hardware loopbackdevices, (one for each of the interface types), are needed for complete tests. These devices are wired suchthat signals from the Loop-V 4100 are looped back by hard wire to the receive pin of the interface.

For the DS3 and E3 cards use a BNC cable to connect the RX and TX terminals.For the OC3/STM1 card use optical cable or BNC cable depending on the card.

Replace the line connector with a hardware loopback device. Observe if the line is in sync. If not, then theLoop-V 4100 has failed. Then perform a PRBS/QRSS test towards the line. If this fails, then the Loop-V 4100has failed.

Note that if a far end terminal is available, the first test should be a local line loopback to see if the line isgood. If tests with hardware loopback devices all pass, then the problem is probably elsewhere.

3.12 Firmware Download

The Loop-V 4100 controller software is flash memory based, which allows firmware (software) updates andthrough the Ethernet port. This procedure will present steps to accomplish this task. This procedure coversboth single and dual CPU board applications.1. Connect the Loop-V 4100 to a TFTP server through the Ethernet port of the primary CPU board. The TFTP server can be the controlling PC running a TFTP application. Connect the controlling PC to the Loop-V 4100 either through the Console port or through the Ethernet port, along with the TFTP server.2. Using Telnet or a VT-100 terminal to control the Loop-V 4100, begin the download process as outlined in

Section 5.7.1.3. When prompted by the Loop-V 4100, enter the IP address of the TFTP server and the file name of the

firmware file.4. When confirmed, the Loop-V 4100 will automatically search the TFTP system for the file, and begin to

download it.5. Store the configuration by powering off and then powering on again. In a machine equipped with two

controllers, CTRL 1 will be the working controller and CTRL 2 will be the redundant controller.

Note: In the above screen you wil l notice the words ” Next bootfirmware switch to bank 2”. When new firmware is downloaded to a Loop-V4100 that has its current firmware in BANK 1, the new firmware is not activated until the Loop-V 4100 is rebooted. Upon reboot the newly downloaded firmware will automatically beswitched to BANK 2 and it will become the new current firmware, Similarly, if the currentfirmware is in BANK 2, the newly downloaded firmware will be switched to BANK 1 uponrebooting. BANKS only switch after a download occurs and the Loop-V 4100 is rebooted.

After the downloading is successfully completed and a reboot takes place, the newlydownloaded firmware will be called the current firmware. The previous firmware will be storedin the other BANK for backup. If a download fails and the user wishes to revert to theprevious firmware, instructions for doing so can be found in Section 6.2 of this appendix.

You must now reset the Loop-V 4100. When you do the firmware will switch from Bank 1 toBank 2.Press Z from the Controller Menu. Use the arrow keys to move the asterisk to Primary.
