SSMTT-ACM and -ACM+ SSMTT-B -CFigure 1 Test Set LED Panels
The LEDs described here are used by the module:
MODULE
Green: The test set is in module mode.
SIGNAL
Active when in E1DUAL mode.
Green: Receiving an E1 signal on the line selected in TEST
CONFIGURATION-LED SOURCE.
Red: Not receiving an E1 signal as expected.
FRAME
This LED is active when in a framed test mode. It is active for only
one line. In E1DUAL mode this line is selected in TEST CONFIGU-
RATION- LED SOURCE: either LINE 1 or 2 can be selected. When
the TEST MODE is E1 SINGL, the FRAME LED is for LINE 1. Green: Frame synchronization has been achieved and the fram-
ing found on the received signal of the selected line matches
the framing set in TEST CONFIGURATION-FRAMING.
Red: The congured framing type is not found on the received
signal on the line selected in TEST CONFIGURATION-
FRAMING. This could indicate either a loss of framing on the
received signal or a framing mismatch.
PAT SYNC
Active when performing a BERT test with a known test pattern.
Red: No pattern synchronization or synchronization is lost.
Green: Pattern synchronization achieved. Synchronization hasbeen achieved when the receiver of the line selected in TEST
CONFIGURATION-RxDROP is receiving the same pattern as
the one transmitted by the test set.
Inactive: The test set is in VF Channel Testing.

2.1 Test Configuration
A circuit is accessed by configuring the test set to the circuit under
test and connecting the test set to the circuit.
The Dual E1 module can be configured to automatically detect
incoming framing and test pattern by pressing the AUTO key.
Conguration is the most important part of the entire test proce-
dure. If the test conguration items are congured incorrectly, all
measurement results will be meaningless.To configure use this procedure:
1. Select E1 MAIN MENU > TEST CONFIGURATION and at
TEST MODE, select E1SINGL (F1) or E1DUAL (F2).
2. Refer to the following two sections for conguration details.

2.1.1 E1 Single Configuration
Figure 5 E1 Single Test Configuration Screen
Tx SOURCE
Options: LOOP (F1), TESTPAT (F2)
LOOP: Used for full duplex drop and insert testing on an in-
service line. In this case, the signal received on the Rx port
will be transmitted out the Tx port for Line 1.
TESTPAT: Used for out-of-service bit error rate testing. In this
case, a test pattern will be transmitted on the selected Transmit
port. During Nx64 or VF CHANNEL ACCESS testing, an idle
code will be inserted on the unused channels.
FRAMING
Options: PCM-30 (F1), PCM-31 (F2), UNFRAME (F3)Choose the appropriate framing for the circuit.
PCM-30: The test set will synchronize on both FAS (Frame
Alignment Signal) and MFAS (MultiFrame Alignment Signal).
PCM-31: The test set will synchronize only on FAS.
Notes:
If unsure of the proper framing, push AUTO. Use the combi-
nation which synchronizes properly and/or allows error free
measurement results.
If the received signal framing and CRC-4 status of dont match
the framing and CRC-4 settings, the test set will display LOS
(Loss of Frame) condition and may display loss of CRC DET.
AMI is the default line code. The line code can be congured for
AMI or HDB3 in: E1 MAIN MENU > SYSTEM PARAMETERS
> MEAS CONFIGURATION.

15/120
15Dual E1
CRC-4
Options: YES (F1), NO (F2)
YES: Measures of CRC-4 errors on an incoming signal and
also transmits the CRC-4 bits on the outgoing signal. CRC-4only works with PCM-31 and PCM-30 framing.
If UNFRAME has been selected for framing, the test set will
force the CRC-4 conguration to NO.
TEST RATE
Options: 2.048M (F1), Nx64K (F2)
2.048M: Used for full rate testing. If you are not certain about
which one to choose, select this for full rate testing.
Nx64: Use for fractional
testing. Upon pressing, the
SELECT TIMESLOT screen to
the right is displayed. In it
select each timeslot to test,
these can be selected
automatically, or manually.
Figure 6 Select TimeslotScreen
Manual Selection of Timeslots
1. Use to choose a timeslot, then press SELECT (F2).
2. Repeat until all the necessary timeslots have been selected.
Selected timeslots remain highlighted, as in Figure 6.
Press UN-SEL (F3) to deselect a timeslot. Press CLR-ALL (F4) to clear all selections and to start over.
Automatic Selection of Timeslots
1. Press AUTO (F1).
If receiving a signal which is already formatted in the N (or M)
x64 kbit/s fractional E1 format, the quickest method for select-
ing timeslots is to press AUTO (F1).
2. Press ENTER to set the choices, and return to the TEST
CONFIGURATION screen.
In AUTO, the test set will automatically congure the timeslots
by looking for active data. It will congure the transmit side to be
the same as the active timeslots on the receive side. The test
set determines which timeslots are active by rst determiningwhich timeslots are idle. Any timeslot that is not idle is assumed
to be active. The test set determines that a timeslot is idle when
it nds the lines idle code. This is set in SYSTEM PARAMETERS
> MEAS CONFIGURATION-CODE CONFIGUR.

16/120
16 SSMTT-27
Notes:
In PCM-31 framing, timeslots 1-31 correspond to channels 1-31.
In PCM-30 framing, timeslots 1-15 correspond to channels
1-15, and timeslots 17-31 correspond to channels 16-30. InPCM-30, timeslot 16 is used for the multiframe alignment signal.
Fractional E1 is not offered with unframed signals, because
framing is required to determine the location of timeslots.
The timeslots specied for transmit/receive need not be the
same. The number of selected timeslots can differ from the Tx
side to the Rx side. The test set will assume that all incoming
data is received byte by byte in ascending channel order.
L1-Rx PORT
Options: TERM (F1), BRIDGE (F2), MONITOR (F3)
Congures the Line 1 2.048 Mbit/s receiver.
These settings let the test set electrically decode a 2.048 Mbit/s
signal under a wide range of resistive cable losses. They also
determine which electrical load will be placed on the circuit by the
test set. These settings have no effect on the transmitters.
On a 2.048 Mbit/s circuit, there must always be exactly one
receiver that applies the low impedance (75/120) termination.
There should never be two or more receivers applying a low
impedance termination.
CAUTION: If uncertain, select BRIDGE, this will protect the
2.048 Mbit/s signal.
TERM: The received signal is terminated with a 75 or 120
impedance. The tested signal has been transmitted over realcable at a level between approximately +6 and -43 dB. This
mode will disrupt the circuit.
BRIDGE: The test set applies high-impedance isolation resis-
tors to the circuit. This will protect the signal from any possible
disruption. The tested signal has been transmitted over regular
cable at a level of approximately +6 and -43 dB.
MONITOR: Used when a measurement is made at a protected
monitoring point, at a level between -15 and -30 dB. The signal
is provided from the protected MONITOR port of a network
equipment.
In this mode, if a 0 dB signal is received, the CODE ERR LED
will light red. This often happens when the test set is pluggedinto an OUT port. In this case, choose TERM instead. If un-
certain if a port is bridged or protected, try BRIDGE rst.

17/120
17Dual E1
Options: L1-RX (F1), INTERN (F2), L2-RX (F3), OFFSET (more,
F1), TTL-L2 (more, F2)
This is used to time the transmit signal.
L1-Rx: The test set uses the timing from the signal receivedon Line 1 as the clock source.
INTERN: This uses the internal timing of the test set. This
timing is not synchronized to the network. You should use
internal timing in loopback testing where synchronization is
not required.
L2-Rx: Timing is received from the signal received on Line 2.
SHIFT: Press to display the
screen shown to the right. In
it, the test set uses a digital
synthesizer to shift the
transmit frequency in 1, 10,
100, or 1000 Hz steps. Shift
up to +/- 50,000 hz (25K
ppm).
Figure 7 DDS Shift Screen
1. Set DDS SHIFT from 0 and 50,000 Hz by using INC (F1) or
DEC (F2).
2. Set the SCALE of the shift by using INC (F1) and DEC (F2).
Choose among 1, 10, 100, and 1000 (i.e., a shift of 3 Hz with
a SCALE of 10 would shift the frequency 13 Hz).
TTL-L2: The test set uses a G.703 sinusoidal clock plugged
into E1 RX2 as the timing source

Tx/INSERT
Options: L1-TX (F1), L2-TX (F2)Select the 2.048 Mbit/s test line that the test signal is inserted.
Determine where the 2.048 Mbit/s test pattern, Nx64 kbit/s test
pattern, Nx64 kbit/s multiplexed signal, or voice frequency channel
will be inserted (i.e., if Tx/INSERT is L2-Tx and if talking on the
test set, then the speech will be inserted on line 2).
Rx/DROP
Options: L1-RX (F1), L2-RX (F2)
Select the received test signal from either L1-Rx or L2-Rx.
Congures bit error rate, 2.048 Mbit/s line frequency, E-bit error
measurements, M.2100/550 measurements, voice channel fre-
quency, voice channel level, voice channel Rx ABCD. View received
data, FAS, and MFAS words, etc. (i.e., if performing a BERT on the
received signal from line 1, then select Rx/DROP as L1-Rx).
Tx SOURCE
Options: LOOP (F1), TESTPAT (F2)
LOOP: Used for in-service full duplex drop and insert testing. In
this case, the signal received on the Rx port will be transmitted
out the Tx port for Lines 1 and 2. A signal will be inserted on
1 or more channels on the line selected in Tx/INSERT. The
channels and corresponding ABCD bits on the unselected line
are passed through the test set unchanged from Rx to Tx.
TESTPAT: Used for out-of-service bit error rate testing. A
test pattern is transmitted on the selected Tx/INSERT port.During Nx64 or VF CHANNEL ACCESS testing, an idle code
is inserted on the unused channels. On the unselected line,
the channels and ABCD bits are passed through the test set
unchanged from Rx to Tx.

FRAMING
Options: PCM-30 (F1), PCM-31 (F2), UNFRAME (F3)
Choose the framing that is appropriate for the circuit.
PCM-30: Test set will synchronize on both FAS (Frame Align-ment Signal) and MFAS (MultiFrame Alignment Signal).
PCM-31: The test set will synchronize only on FAS.
Notes:
If framing and CRC-4 state of the received signal do not match
the framing and CRC-4 settings, the test set will display LOS
(Loss of Frame) condition and may display loss of CRC DET.
AMI is the default line code. The line code can be congured for
AMI or HDB3 in: E1 MAIN MENU > SYSTEM PARAMETERS
> MEAS CONFIGURATION.
If unsure of the framing, press AUTO. Use the combination
which synchronizes properly and results in error free results.
CRC-4
Options: YES (F1), NO (F2)
YES: Allows the test set to measure CRC-4 errors on the in-
coming signal and to transmit the CRC-4 bits on the outgoing
signal. CRC-4 only works with PCM-31 and PCM-30 framing.
If UNFRAME has been selected for framing, the test set will
force the CRC-4 conguration to NO.
TEST RATE
Options: 2.048 (F1), Nx64K (F2)
2.048M congures the test set for full rate testing. If unsure,
select 2.048 Mbit/s.
Nx64K congures the test set for fractional testing. Upon se-lection, the SELECT TIMESLOT screen is displayed. In this
screen, choose each timeslot for testing. See Section 2.1.1-
TEST RATEfor the procedure.
L1-Rx Port and L2-Rx Port
Options: TERM (F1), BRIDGE (F2), MONITOR (F3)
Congures the two 2.048 Mbit/s receivers.
These settings let the test set electrically decode a 2.048 Mbit/s
signal under a wide range of resistive or cable losses. These
settings also determine which electrical load will be placed on
the circuit by the test set. These settings have no effect on the
transmitters. On a 2.048 Mbit/s circuit, there must always be

RECEIVE: The test set uses the timing from the signal received onthe line set as RX/DROP as the clock source for both TX lines.
Figures 9-11 are the timing set ups when RECEIVE is selected.
Figure 9 represents slave timing. Here, Tx CLOCK=L1-Rx, but the
signal received on L1-Rx is timed off of the L1-Tx source. Thus,
there is no true clock source, thus the transmit signal may die.
Figure 9 Slave to Slave Timing Setup
Figure 10 depicts loop or slave timing. Tx/INSERT and TX CLOCK
are set for the same line. Loop timing is necessary when transmit-
ting toward an exchange or other network element that requires
synchronous signals. This network element must be congured
to be a master timing source in relation to the signal, or else this
will result in slave-to-slave timing.
Figure 10 Loop/Slave Timing Setup
Figure 11 depicts external timing. External timing uses an external
clock source to time the Tx/INSERT signal. The external clock
source should be congured for the opposite line from the Rx/
DROP selection. In this case, Rx/DROP and Tx/INSERT are setfor Line 2. Therefore, Tx CLOCK is set for Line 1 (L1-Rx).
Note: In Figures 9-11, Tx SOURCE has been set for TESTPAT.
The Tx CLOCK setting is ignored if Tx SOURCE is set for LOOP.
In LOOP, both Lines 1 and 2 pass timing from Rx to Tx.

Figure 11 External Timing Setup
INTERN: This setting uses the internal timing of the test set.
This timing is not synchronized to the network. You should
use internal timing in loopback testing where synchronization
is not required. If you set Tx/INSERT as L1-Tx, and chooseINTERN, the L1-Tx signal will use the internal timing of the
test set. In E1DUAL mode, the L2-Tx signal will use the timing
recovered from L2-Rx.
SHIFT: Press to display the
screen shown to the right. In
it, the test set uses a digital
synthesizer to shift the
transmit frequency in 1, 10,
100, or 1000 Hz steps. Shift
up to +/- 50,000 hz (25K
ppm).

1. Set the DDS SHIFT between 0 and 50,000 Hz by using INC
(F1) and DEC (F2).
2. Set the SCALE of the shift by using INC (F1) and DEC (F2).
Choose among 1, 10, 100, and 1000. For example, a shift of
3 Hz with a SCALE of 10 would shift the frequency 13 Hz.

2.2 Test Pattern
Figure 13 Test Pattern Selection Screen
Standard Test Patterns
To send one of the standard patterns:
1. Use to select a desired pattern. As each pattern isselected, the test set begins transmitting that pattern.
2. Press INVERT (F2) to send an inverted pattern (1s and 0sreversed). Press NORMAL (F2) to send a normal pattern.
3. At the MEASURE MODE line in SYSTEM PARAMETERS >MEAS CONFIGURATION, select BER or LIVE. In BER, the
test set looks for a BERT pattern. In LIVE, the test set doesnot look for a pattern, it tests live trafc. If LIVE is selected,
the PAT SYNC LED is off.
Long patterns are written in hex (hexadecimal). A pattern in hex will
be written with pairs of numbers separated by commas. The Hex
number system consists of the 16 digits; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
A, B, C, D, E, F. 15 FA hex translates to the binary pattern 0001
0101 1111 1010, where the left most bit is transmitted rst.
The following test patterns are available:
2e23: Industry-standard 2e23-1pseudo random bit sequence and
is formed from a 23 stage shift register and is not zero-constrained.
It contains up to 22 zeros in a row and violates standards for
consecutive zeros in AMI-coded transmission.
2e20: Industry-standard 2e20-1pseudo random bit sequence is
formed from a 20 stage shift register and is not zero-constrained.
It contains up to 19 zeros in a row and violates standards for
consecutive zeros in AMI-coded transmission. The QRS pattern
is derived from the 2e20 pattern.2e15: Industry-standard 2e15-1pseudo random bit sequence is
formed from a 15 stage shift register and is not zero-constrained.
It contains up to 14 zeros in a row and does not violate standards
for consecutive zeros in AMI-coded transmission.

20ITU: This is the 2e20-1pseudo random bit sequence and is
formed from a 20 stage shift register and is not zero-constrained.
It conforms to the ITU O.153 technical standard. It is not identical
to 2e20, because different feedback mechanisms are used whenthe patterns are produced by means of shift registers. 20ITU
suppresses consecutive sequences of more than 18 zeros, as
opposed to 14 zeros in 2e20.
2047: Industry-standard bit code used for DDS applications.
511,127,63: Industry-standard bit codes used for DDS.
1111: Industry-standard all ones pattern is used for stress testing
E1 AMI, and B8ZS lines. If it is sent unframed, it will be interpreted
as an AIS (Alarm Indication Signal). This is the pattern in its binary
form: 1111.
1010: Industry-standard alternating ones and zeros pattern. It is
frame aligned with f showing the location of the framing bit. Thepattern is: f 0101 0101.
0000: Industry-standard all zeros pattern is often used to make
sure that clear-channel lines have been properly provisioned for
B8ZS during circuit turn-up. If a portion of the circuit is AMI, then
pattern synch and/or signal will be lost. The pattern is: 0000.
FOX: Industry-standard pattern is used in data communications
applications. The ASCII translation of the pattern is the Quick
brown fox .... sentence. The pattern is frame aligned to ensure
proper ASCII translation of the bits. It is recommended that the
pattern be sent with framed signals, otherwise ASCII translation
is not possible. This is the pattern: 2A, 12, A2, 04, 8A, AA, 92, C2,
D2, 04, 42, 4A, F2, EA, 72, 04, 62, F2, 1A, 04, 52, AA, B2, 0A, CA,04, F2, 6A, A2, 4A, 04, 2A, 12, A2, 04, 32, 82, 5A, 9A, 04, 22, F2,
E2, 04, 8C, 4C, CC, 2C, AC, 6C, EC, 1C, 9C, 0C, B0, 50.
QRSS: Industry-standard Quasi Random Signal is formed from a
20 stage shift register and is zero-constrained for a maximum of
14 consecutive zeros. When transmitted in a framed signal, up to
15 consecutive zeros will occur in accordance with AMI minimum
density requirements.
1-4: The one-in-four pattern is used for stress testing circuits. It is
frame aligned. The pattern is 0100.
1-8: Industry-standard 1 in 8 pattern is used for stress testing AMI
and B8ZS lines. It is also called 1:7. The pattern is frame aligned(f is the framing bit) as shown in its binary form: f 0100 0000.
3-24: Industry-standard 3 in 24 pattern used for stress testing AMI
lines. The pattern is frame aligned (f is the framing bit) as shown
in its binary form: f 0100 0100 0000 0000 0000 0100.

2.3 Measurement Result
To observe results:
1. From the E1 MAIN MENU, select MEASUREMENT RESULT
and press START (F3).2. Press PAGE-UP (F1) or PAGE-DN (F2) to view the screens.
3. Press ESC when nished.
The test set continuously performs measurements on received
signal(s). When a measurement is performed, MEAS is displayed
on screen. When stopped, it is not displayed.
Results are stored when STOP (F3) is pressed and when PRINT
RESULT is set to LAST in SYSTEM PARAMETERS > MEAS CON-
FIGURATION, or when a TIMED measurement nishes. Events are
also stored when PRINT EVENT is ENABLED, in MEAS CONFIGU-
RATION.
The screens do not need to be displayed for results to be compiled.Measurements are automatically restarted every time the con-
guration is signicantly changed. You can view the accumulated
measurements along with restarting the measurement.
The actual screens and the values displayed depend upon the se-
lected TEST MODE. However, all screens share common features.
Figure 16 Measurement Results Screen
Measurements often have a count number displayed on the left
side and a corresponding rate or percentage displayed on the right
side of the same line. For example, in Figure 16, CODE appears
on the left and RATE on the right.
A key concept is availability. A circuit is available for use only whenthe bit error rate is low enough that a signal can be understood. A
circuit is said to be unavailable at the beginning of 10 consecutive
severely errored seconds. Errors, errored seconds, and severely
errored seconds are not accumulated when the circuit is unavail-
8/14/2019 MAN-22060-US002_C00_SSMTT-27_Dual_E1_MMD
27/120
27Dual E1
able. Therefore, if injecting errors continuously to the test set at
a 2x10-3error rate, increasing bit errors, errored seconds, and
severely errored seconds for the rst 9 seconds will be seen. At
the tenth second, all the counts will decrease back to the valuesthey had before the error injection was started, and the unavail-
able counter will increase by 10.
Once a circuit is unavailable, it becomes available only after 10
consecutive seconds without severe errors. To continue the previ-
ous example, if severe error injection is turned off, and then 1 or
2 errors are inserted during the next 5 seconds, the unavailable
second counter continues to increase for the rst 9 seconds while
the error counter does not change. At the tenth second, the un-
available second counter decreases by 10 and the error counter
increases by the 1 or 2 inserted errors.

2.3.1 Measurement Results and General Definitions
These are several screens of data. The screens that are displayed
depend on the MODE, E1SINGL or E1DUAL. Screen 1, which
appears when rst entering MEASUREMENT RESULT, is a STA-
TUS screen. It displays the status of each line in use, a statusmessage is displayed for both lines 1 and 2. These messages (i.e.,
NO ERRORS, FRM LOSS, SIG LOSS, ERROR DET) represent
the condition of the line during testing.
Measurement Result Definitions
Note: Each measurement is proprietary to its screen; i.e., error
refers to E-Bit errors in the E-BIT screen, and to all Summary

The -WANDR increases whenever the measured frequency is
less than the reference frequency.
The following sections describe the available results screens.
Line 1 and Line 2 Summary Screens
These two SUMMARY screens
report the summary results for
Lines 1 and 2, if both are in
use. The screen to the right is

They report the most signifi-
cant measurements containing
specific types of impairments;
i.e.,code errors, CRC-4 block
errors, framing, and multifram-
ing bit errors. See Section
2.3.1for definitions.

The bar graph indicates how fast the signal is slipping in rela-
tion to the reference clock. RxDROP determines which line the

measurements are from. The not selected line is the reference
clock. I.e., if RxDROP is L1-Rx, L1 is measured, and the reference
clock is from L2-Rx.
It is important to know the source of the reference clock, to mean-ingfully interpret the graph results.
The bar graph slips most rapidly at the center position and then
gradually slows down as the length of the bar increases.
One clock slip occurs when the measured frequency deviates from
the reference frequency by 1 unit interval. For E1 a unit interval
is equal to 488 nanoseconds. The number of clock slips is kept at
the end of the bar. At 256 clock slips the graph resets itself.
The bar graph is valid when L1-Rx and L2-Rx have valid signals.
If L2-Rx has no signal it will display NO LINE 2 REF SIGNAL,
and a graph is not displayed, as in the right screen Figure 18.
Note:When no reference clock signal is present, the test set willdefault to its internal clock, for the measurement of MAX, MIN,
and current RCV bit rates of the selected signal.

enter a value according to the Q.441 specication or any other
desired value to make the sequence work.
