 Chapter 1 Introduction

The FM-60 is a flexible transmission system, which provides voice and data
applications by time division multiplexing and de-multiplexing on 2.048 Mbps E1
signals. Timeslot interchange (TSI) technique is applied to provide timeslot
assignment and timeslot interchange capability, so that any 64 Kbps or Nx64 Kbps
user signals can be assigned and cross-connected to any E1 timeslot(s).

The FM-60 has a compact design. It is equipped with 18 slots for various units.
Three of them are for common units, and the remaining fifteen slots are for
channel units. The channel units provide versatile user services. All the channel
units are hot-swappable, and different types of channel units can be placed in the
FM-60 simultaneously with arbitrary combination.

The FM-60 features powerful diagnostic capabilities. Several types of loopbacks

can be activated for the units.

Featured with a built-in SNMP agent, the FM-60 supports network management
for operation, administration, maintenance, and provision. It can be managed
through user-friendly GUI management software. FM-60 is equipped with two
RS-232 ports and one Ethernet port for management. Moreover, the FM-60
supports remote management capability, which allows it to be managed over
in-band E1 timeslot. Accompanied with the static routing function, management
messages can be routed from one FM-60 to next FM-60 over E1 line, so that the
remote management capability can be greatly extended.

The FM-60 also provides the function of remote control with CT-128 Multiple-Rate
NTU and CT-50 Subrate NTU. When the CT-128 or the CT-50 is connected to the
FM-60, it can be remotely controlled by the network management system.

1.2 System Diagram

The FM-60 consists of customer interface units (channel units), one E1 line
interface unit (ELIU or ELIU2), one maintenance and control unit (EMCU-B), and
two power supply units (EPSU).

The digital or analog user signals from the customer loops are terminated by
channel units (CU), and are then transmitted to the EMCU-B. Time slot
interchange for transmitting the CU data to the desired E1 time slots or to other
CU locations is performed inside the EMCU-B by the time slot interchange (TSI).
Interchanged data is sent to the ELIU/ELIU2 for transmitting data to the
corresponding time slots on E1 lines.

The FM-60 timing sources can be generated from a 2.048 MHz external clock,
received E1 lines, and internal oscillator. The EMCU-B selects one of these clock
sources and connects it to the phase lock loop (PLL) inside EMCU-B to derive
system synchronization clocks of FM-60. The EMCU-B also generates a 2.048
MHz output clock.

1.3 System Application

The FM-60 can be applied to various applications using different channel units.
The following diagram displays those applications. For specific application of a

STEP 1 Connect the power source to either JDU1 and JDU2 or both.

!" Connect chassis frame ground to the FG pin.

!" Connect –48V ground to the PG pin.

!" Connect –48V to the –48V pin.

STEP 2 Insert the EPSU in either of the EPSU slots. Fasten the unit in the
slot with the locking handles at both ends on the faceplate.

STEP 3 Measure the jacks on the EPSU faceplate and estimate if the power is
correctly supplied to the channel units.

STEP 4 Adjust the CID and Console DIP switches on the rear panel to a
desired data rate. An alternative is to do this after the EMCU-B is
inserted, but then also reset the EMCU-B (push the faceplate Reset
button). During the reset process, the traffic on the channel units
will be interrupted.

STEP 5 Insert the EMCU-B into the EMCU slot. Fasten the unit in the slot
with the locking handles at both ends on the faceplate.

STEP 6 Install the ELIU/ELIU2. Before sliding the card into the ELIU slot,
first select an E1 interface (BNC or wire strap pins) using the onboard
jumpers. The jumper setting is introduced in the later chapter of
ELIU/ELIU2. Use the locking handles at both ends on the faceplate
to fasten the unit.

STEP 7 Connect to the E1 connectors. Note that ELIU2 can connect 1st E1
and 2nd only.

STEP 8 To use an external clock, connect the external clock wire to the
Ext_CLK (I) connector.

STEP 9 To output the FM-60 clock, connect the Ext_CLK (O) connector.

STEP 10 Connect the alarm connectors anytime when required.

2.3 Channel Units

2.3.1 Introduction

Channel units can be positioned in slot 1 to slot 15. On each channel unit’s
faceplate, DB-9 or DB-25 connectors are provided to connect to customer end and
screws and locking handles are provided on the faceplate for fasten purpose.

When you face the chassis, the channel units are on your left side and are labeled
slot 1 to slot 15 respectively. Each channel unit is equipped with locking handles
at both ends on the faceplate for fasten purpose.

2.3.2 Installation

Each channel unit has the same installation procedures. The chassis (including
power) and common units should be installed prior to the channel units.

STEP 1 Verify if any hardware jumper or DIP switch should be set. Few
channel units, e.g., EEM2 has jumpers to set.

STEP 2 Slide a channel unit in an available slot (Slot 1 to Slot 15). Make sure
it fits into the backplane connector. Do not mis-put it into a
common unit slot.

STEP 3 Press the locking handles at both ends to fasten the unit into the slot.

Note 1: If a slot is meant to remain empty, it is recommended to use a dummy

face panel to cover the slot to keep possible objects, dust, or liquid from
entering the equipment. Any of the element may do damage to the
circuit board or equipment.
Note 2: Make sure all units fit in the slots.

5.1.2 E1 Line 1+1 Protection

E1 Line 1+1 protection guarantees data is correctly transmitted or received on the

E1 line. This function requires two E1 lines for redundancy purpose. Normally,
data is transmitted or received on both lines but only the data on the active E1 line
can reach the destination. When the master E1 line is in a bad condition, the
slave line will be activated immediately. The data on the slave E1 will then reach
its destination.

The four E1 lines are divided into 2 pairs: 1st E1 & 2nd E1 (1&2) and 3rd E1 & 4th E1
(3&4).

STEP 1: Tick 1&2, 3&4, or both to select the E1 pair (s).

STEP 2: Select a threshold of the bit error rate.

STEP 3: Select a lock-in number.

STEP 4: Specify an E1 line to be the active E1.

STEP 5: Click the set 1&2 or set 3&4 button to apply the settings.

The following table explains 1+1 protection in detail.
Item Description Value
1&2, 3&4 Pair of E1 line ELIU: 1&2,
3&4
ELIU2: 1& 2
Threshold This is the Bit Error Rate (BER) to identify the E1 line 1.0E-1(10-1) ~
performance/status. 1.0E-7(10-7)
Active E1 This is the master E1 line via which data will be 1~2 or 3~4
Line received or transmitted. The other is the slave line
used for backup purpose.
For example, you select 1st E1 as the active line. The
nd
2 E1 will be the slave.
Lock-in The lock-in number is the switchable times between 1 ~ 15
number active and slave E1 lines.
If the BER of the active E1 line exceeds the threshold,
the slave line will be activated. The active E1 will be
used again when it returns to normal (BER below the
threshold). This cycle is called a switchable time.
When the lock-in number is reached, the system will
fix on the slave E1 line and no switch will be processed.

Figure 5-2 E1 1+1 Protection

5.1.3 Timing Source

Table 7-1 TSI Configurations between/among channel units

The following lists important TSI features of each channel unit.

!" For EE0U-EBCU connection, the EBCU should be 64kbps(B1 channel).

!" For EE0U-EDSU connection, the EDSU should be 64kbps. EDSU N= 1

!" For EBCU-EBCU connection, both EBCU should be of the same rate.

!" For EBCU-EDSU connection, both units should be of the same rate (64 or 128
kbps). For 64kbps, EBCU should use B1.

43
!" For the EDSU-EDSU connection, both EDSU should be of the same rate.

!" For the EBRI-EBRI connection, both EBRI should be of the same
configuration.

!" For the ELTU, it can be connected to E1 only.

Before you start to read the chapter, be familiar with the following terms that will
help to understand this chapter.

!" Source Time Slot: It is the source of data. A Source TS can transmit data
to numerous destinations (also called Destination Time Slot).

!" Destination Time Slot: It is the destination of the data sent by the Source
Time Slot. A Destination Time Slot can be assigned to only one Source Time
Slot. Many Destination TS may share one Source TS.

!" Bi-direction: Normally, data is sent from the Source TS to one or more
Destination TS, which is one-way only. You can also assign a Destination TS
to be bi-directional. That is, in addition to one-way transmission, data can
be sent from the Destination TS to the Source TS. But, only the Destination
TS can be assigned to be bi-directional.

44
7.1 Setting TSI

This section specifies the general procedure to setting the TSI. All the units have
very similar procedures on TSI configuration.

Select TSI from the CID main screen to access the TSI main screen. The screen
displays all the available time slots. The upper part lists the channel units’ time
slots. The bottom two or four rows list the E1 time slots. (ELIU has four E1 lines,
and ELIU2 has two E1 lines.) Each E1 has 31 time slots, and TS16 may be
configured for CAS function.

Figure 7-1 TSI Configuration Main Screen

45
STEP 1: The status of time slots can be identified by specific colors listed below.

: light green- in use

: blue- available for TSI configuration

: red- TS16 is used for CAS

: gray- the port or the unit not configured

: pink- selected for Source TS

STEP 2: Select a blue time slot as the Source TS. The selected time slot (also
called source time slot) will turn pink.

STEP 3: Click the Enter TSI button to select the Destination time slots.

Figure 7-2 Time Slot Selections

STEP 3: The screen displays all effective Destination TS that can react with the
Source TS. For example, an EE&M TS is selected as Source TS. EE&M
is a voice unit, so the TSI selection screen displays all the available TS on
the voice channel units, like EE&M, EEM2, and EEM4. Those that are not
configured or are not the same type will appear gray.

STEP 4: On the screen, the Source TS appears pink, and the effective Destination
TS appears blue. Each TS is divided to two blocks: input and output.

46
 I - Input of data.
O- Output of data.
The status or configuration of a TS can be verified according to its
colors.
White input and output- this TS is available for TSI configuration.
Blue input and white output- this is a destination TS that receives
data from source TS only.
Yellow output and blue input- this is a source TS for bi-direction
transmission.
White input and gray output- this TS is already configured for TSI.
Blue input and yellow output- it means this is a destination TS
used for bi-direction transmission.
White input and blue output- this is a destination TS for one way
transmission.

Table 7-2 Different States of Time Slots

STEP 5: According to the factory default, the Bi-direction function is enabled. A

bi-direction Destination TS will have blue input and yellow output. If
more than one TS is selected, the last one will have the bi-direction
function while the previous ones are one-way.

STEP 6: If bi-direction function is not required, click the bi-directional button to

disable it.

STEP 7: To de-select a selected time slot, click it again.

STEP 8: Click the Set TSI button. A dialog box displays informing the setup is
successful.

STEP 9: Click OK.

STEP 10: Click the Back button to return to the TSI configuration screen.

STEP 11: You may learn that all the configured TS are green.

Note: Only one destination time slot can be set to bi-directional used together
with the source time slot for mutual data transfer. Simultaneously, more
than one destination time slots can be used for one-way data flow. Those
destination time slots receive data from the source TS.

 Chapter 8 Inband Management

The ENRS supports inband management. With an ENRS installed in the local
FM-60, other FM-60s connected to it via E1 can be configured with time slots used
for the inband management.

An EMCU-B only or an additional ENRS can remotely configure an FM-60 via

in-band or across a router. The EMCU-B supports remote configuration of up to
twenty FM-60s. An additional ENRS can manage 1024 network segments
consisted of FM-60s. A network segment may contain various FM-60s.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

!" To configure the FM-60s via in-band connection, make sure the clocks of the
devices are synchronized.

!" In subsequent explanations and examples, where the term EMCU is used,
this means the MCU-B.

48
8.1 In-band Management via EMCU-B

The EMCU-B has two HDLC controllers. Each HDLC controller supports
management of ten FM-60s. Two HDLC controllers can be used to manage
twenty FM-60s. When the EMCU-B is used for in-band management, only two
E1s (if four are available) at most can be configured for the in-band connection.

Follow the steps below to set the EMCU-B parameters.

STEP 1: Enter the FM-60 CID. On the main menu, click the EMCU-B faceplate to
enter the EMCU-B configuration screen.

in-band management. This time slot is used to connect to the remote
FM-60.

STEP 6: Click Set to apply the settings.

Note: Only two E1 lines can be used for the in-band management.

50
8.2 In-band Management via ENRS

This section specifies how to configure in-band management parameters using

the ENRS. An ENRS has 32 HDLC controllers. An HDLC controller supports
management of up to 32 network segments consisted of FM-60s.

In the following diagrams, three applications are illustrated:

!" Application A: An FM-60 in the central office (CO) is connected to other

FM-60s via E1, but there are no intermediary nodes between the CO FM-60
and the remote FM-60s (Figure 6-1).

!" Application B: An FM-60 in the CO is connected to many nodes. Between

the central office and the last node, there are intermediary node(s)
connected via E1 (Figure 6-2).

!" Application C: An FM-60 in the central office is connected to other FM-60s

via E1 and the second node is also connected to other nodes via a LAN
(Figure 6-3).

8.3 In-band Management Between Two FM-60s

The following diagram shows an application in which the central site has an FM-60
and a PC running the MCID. The FM-60 in the central site is directly connected to
three FM-60s via E1.

In this example, the FM-60 in the central site requires an EMCU-B and an ENRS.
The remote FM-60 only requires an EMCU-B. An FM-60 can mount up to three
ENRS units and can ideally manage up to hundreds of FM-60s.

8.5 In-band Management via E1 to LAN

The FM-60 not only provides management in an E1 environment, but also in a LAN
environment. This application shows the combination of both environments. In
real applications, the customer may utilize the E1 network to manage the devices
located in the remote LAN. This provides a flexible way for network management.

In this application, the FM-60 in the central site communicates to the FM-60A in
the remote LAN via E1. Both FM-60s must have EMCU-B and ENRS cards. FM-60
A uses the LAN port of the ENRS to connect to the LAN. In the remote LAN, FM-60
B and FM-60 C only need the EMCU-B, and they connect to the LAN via the LAN
port of the EMCU-B.

 Chapter 23 EATU- ADSL Channel Unit

The FM60-EATU is a channel unit of the FM-60 E1 Flexible Multiplexer. This unit
has four ADSL ports for Internet access. With its concentration scheme and TSI
capability, multiple end users’ ADSL traffic can be concentrated onto any time-slot
of an E1 line to increase the bandwidth utilization. At the ISP side, the only
requirement is an unchannelized E1 router/bridge, such as CT-591, to terminate
the traffic.

The FM60-EATU is equipped with two Ethernet LAN ports, which enable for
cascading with other EATU units to accommodate more ADSL services over an E1
line. It also enables interfacing capability with an external router/bridge to allow
for more advanced functions.

With the EATU channel unit, the FM-60 can be enhanced as an integrated access
platform providing not only a leased line, but also ADSL services.

There are two different types of EATU:

!" Master: Besides the ADSL circuits, this card type can support TSI capability to
concentrate ADSL traffic onto an E1 line.

!" Slave: Provides ADSL circuits only. It has to work with a Master unit to
concentrate its traffic onto an E1 line.

216
23.1 Application

In addition to the typical application (Fig.23-1), the EATU can be used for another
application, illustrated in Figure 23-2. The EATU can be connected to an external
router (e.g., CT-591) through the faceplate UP RJ45 port. Via the router, data
can be transmitted to the data network.

and status, and it can be used to configure the card’s common settings. The Set
CU button is used to apply the common settings. The Delete CU button is used
to de-configure the card common settings.

Each field is explained below:

!" Nx64K: This field is used to set up the E1 bandwidth [N= 1-31].

!" Link Protocol: [PPP and HDLC]. This field is used to set up the session link
protocol.

!" Keep Alive (0-255 seconds):

This field is used to set the time interval at which the Keep-Alive message will be
sent. The value ranges from 0 to 255 seconds. Zero (0) means no Keep-Alive
message will be sent. In HDLC mode, the Keep-Alive message is sent to inform
the remote end that the port is ready. Upon receiving the Keep-Alive message,
the remote end should return an acknowledgement packet. The session will then
be established. In PPP mode, the Keep-Alive message is sent at regular intervals
to inform the remote end that the port is operational.

!" Authen. Method:

In PPP mode, if authentication is required, you can select an Authentication

Method (CHAP or PAP) in the [PPP Authen. Method] field, and fill in the [PPP
Authen. Method] and [PPP Authen. Password] fields. If authentication is not
required, select None in the [PPP Authen. Method] field.

!" PPP Authen. User Name/ PPP Authen. Password:

It is necessary to fill in these two fields when an authentication method (CHAP or

PAP) is selected.

Port Configuration: displays the status of the ports and the slave units that are
connected to the master, and configures the port settings. The port settings
include Detection of Loss of Signal, and Upstream and downstream data rates. If
LOS is enabled, an alarm will be declared if a LOS is detected. The Set button is
used to submit the port settings. The Deconfig button is used to deconfigure
the settings of the port. The Deconfig All button is used to deconfigure all the
ports.

Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Unable to access the FM-60 via the CID software over PPP

STEP 1: Check the session baud rate.

Make sure both your modem and the FM-60 are set to the same rate. The factory
default setting of the FM-60 is 38.4 Kbps. You can modify the rate to 19.2 Kbps
via the CID.

STEP 2: Check the IP address of the CID port.

The default setting of the CID port IP address is 192.168.1.10. If it was changes,
use the new IP address to log on.

The following is an example on using the default IP address to access the FM-60.

STEP 3: Make sure you have reset FM-60 after changing the baud rate of the CID
port.

STEP 4: You must manually assign an IP to your PC that runs the CID software,
and make sure it is set to the same network segment as the FM-60 CID
port (the default IP of FM-60’s CID port is 192.168.1.10). The following
is an example on how to modify your TCP/IP for the PPP session on

241
 Windows 98. For other operating systems, the procedures may differ.

!" Click Start>Programs>Accessories>Communications>Dialup Networking to

access the screen where the PPP session was established.

!" Right-click the session icon and choose Properties.

242
!" Click the Server Type tab and click the TCP/IP Settings… button.

!" Click Specify an IP address and type the IP address of your PC. Click OK to
complete the setting.
