    1.1 Dual E1 LEDs

    The LEDs provide information on the test sets current test status.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    exactly one receiver that applies the low impedance (75/120)termination. There should never be two or more receivers ap-

    plying a low impedance termination.

    See L1-Rx PORT in Section 2.1.1for a choice descriptions.

    TX CLOCK

    Options: RECEIVE (F1), INTERN (F2), SHIFT (F3)

    This is used to time the transmit signal.

    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).

    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

    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.

    the test. This measurement is reported as N/A when the test set

    is not synchronized on a received FAS or MFAS signal.

    DGRM: Number of Degraded Minutes since the start of the test.

    A DGRM occurs when there is a 10-6bit error rate during 60 avail-

    able, non-severely bit errored seconds.

    %DGRM: Percentage of summary DGRM since the start of the

    test.

    error, FBE, errored block, or CRC-4 error. An ES is not counted

    during an UAS.

    %ES: Percentage of ES that have occurred since the start of the

    test.

    FALM: Frame Alarm seconds is a count of seconds that have had

    far end frame alarm (FAS Remote Alarm Indication, RAI) since

    the start of the test.

    FE: Number of Frame bit Errors that have occurred since the start

    of the test. It reported as N/A when the test set has not synchro-

    nized on a known framing pattern.Hz/PPM: The Hertz/Part Per Million count records any variance

    from 2.048 Mbit/s in the received frequency.

    LOFS: Loss Of Frame Seconds is a count of seconds since the

    start of the test that have experienced a loss of frame.

    LOSS: Loss Of Signal Seconds is a count of the number of sec-

    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

    for Line 1.

    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.

    2.5 VF Channel Access

    This menu performs a variety of talk/listen functions.

    Note: Do not attempt to enter VF CHANNEL ACCESS if the

    FRAME LED is not green. A green LED indicates that the framingfound on the received signal matches the framing selected in TEST

    CONFIGURATION. It is impossible to talk, listen, or perform other

    channelized functions in the absence of frame synchronization,

    since channels can be identied only within a framed signal.

    The menu contains the following items:
