E1 Controller Unit
(3603-86)
Installation Guide
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Document Purpose
This document provides installation information
for the for the E1 with SNMP (E1-S). This document covers model number 3603-86.
Equipment Function
The E1-S is part of the 360-80 Intelligent Channel Bank (ICB). It allows direct connections to
public E1 networks.
Equipment Location/Mounting
Mount the E1-S in the primary slot of the
360-80. One controller unit must be installed in
the primary slot for proper system operation.
Performance History
This unit stores performance history for the last
30 days and over the last 24 hours in 15-minute
intervals. This performance history includes bit
error rate (BER), errored seconds (ES) and severely errored seconds (SES).
Control Interface
This unit is managed through the Network Management Interface (NMI), which controls the provisioning of the unit and obtains status information from the unit. Provisioning and status information is described in the Installation section of
this document. For operation of this interface,
see the Network Management Interface documentation.
This unit will maintain its default provisioning
until that provisioning is altered through the NMI.
If this unit’s provisioning is changed, it will maintain the new provisioning even if power is lost.
INSPECTION
Step
Inspect for Damages
4.
Inspect the equipment thoroughly upon delivery.
If the equipment has been damaged in transit,
immediately report the extent of damage to the
transportation company.
Once the unit is fully inserted, tighten the securing screw on the front panel.
5.
The unit will perform a self-test to ensure that it is
compatible with the network management software on the system.
Equipment Identification
6.
Wire the unit per the wiring section.
7.
After the self-test is performed, check the software provisioning of the card using the craft interface on the front of the controller unit .
Charles Industries’ equipment is identified by a
model and issue number imprinted on the front
panel or located elsewhere on the equipment.
Each time a major engineering design change is
made on the equipment, the issue number is
advanced by 1 and imprinted on subsequent
units manufactured. Therefore, be sure to include both the model number and its issue number when making inquiries about the equipment.
STATIC-SENSITIVE
To prevent electrostatic charges from damaging
static-sensitive units:
Use approved static-preventive measures (such as
static-conductive wrist straps and static-dissipative
mats) at all times whenever touching units outside
of their original, shipped, protective packaging.
Do not ship or store units near strong electrostatic,
electromagnetic, or magnetic fields.
Action
If you are replacing a unit that is already in service, insure that the unit is the same as the unit
being replaced.
Step
Remove the wiring connectors from the front and
rear of the unit.
2.
Unscrew the front panel securing screw to release the unit from the shelf.
3.
Using the card ejector, remove the unit from the
shelf.
4.
Follow the procedure for installing a new unit.
INSTALLATION
Use the following steps to wire the unit.
Installing a New Unit
Step
Step
1.
2.
Action
Connect E1 to the rear panel RJ48 jack (J1). If a
coaxial connection is needed, install Balun adaptor 97−001811.
If using the Ethernet network management interface on the rear of the unit, connect the system
to the other units using J2 and J3.
3.
If you are using composite clock, remove the
connector and wire the signal to the connector
CCLK IN.
2.
Insert the unit into the shelf, making sure that the
unit is aligned with the card guides inside the
shelf.
4.
Reinstall the connector with the composite clock
signal wires.
5.
Power and alarm should already be wired. If not,
see the documentation for the ICB shelf.
3.
Slide the unit fully in to the shelf.

Status
ON
Unit is receiving power.
OFF
The unit is not powered.
AR
Red
ON

caused by a loss of signal
(LOS) or a loss of framing
(LOF) or out of frame
(OOF) condition.
OFF
Normal operation.
ON
The unit is receiving a
YELLOW alarm condition
on the E1. This indicates
that a problem is upstream at some other device or network node.
OFF
Normal operation.
ON
The system is processing
the trunk signaling data
based on detected alarm
conditions.
OFF
Normal operation.
ON
The unit is in loopback.
This indication only occurs during testing.
OFF
Normal operation.

Yellow
Action
If not already installed, install the rear panel,
screwing it to the appropriate mounting locations
on the shelf using the provided hardware.
Due to mechanical differences, the E1-S card
can only be installed in an Issue 3 or greater
ICB shelf.

Wiring the Unit
The rear panel of the unit should be installed
before all units are installed in the shelf, and before wiring begins.

Installing a Replacement Unit
Always use the original static-protective packaging
for shipping or storage.
Attaching the Rear Panel
the system management bus. This switch is used
if the system is connected together with other
360-80 systems into a central management control center. This switch allows the control center to
‘address’ the individual systems. See section on
network management for more information.
Front Panel Switch and LED Definitions
The Audible Alarm Cut Off (ACO) switch is a
pushbutton used to open the audible alarm contacts from the 360-80 system. This switch will only
mask audible indications of present alarm conditions—it will NOT clear the alarm. If a new alarm
occurs, the alarm will re-enable.
The Address ID switch on the front panel is a multi-section switch for setting the system address on

Default Unit Configurations
Place the Berg connector between the
top and middle pins
to remove termination from the composite clock input.
This is done when
the clock will be
connected to additional equioment.
The ICB stores all configuration settings in the
E1-S. The E1-S is shipped from the factory with
the default settings, which may be changed
through the network management interfaces.

The 360−80 channel bank can be managed via
two different interfaces over the Ethernet connection on the rear of the E1−S card. The Network
Management System (NMS) interface is GUI
based and requires proprietary software operating
on the managing PC. The Network Node Manager
(NNM) interface is SNMP based and requires
SNMP network manager software operating on
the managing PC. See NMS and NNM documentation for more information.
This unit comes from the factory with default provisioning, which can be changed through Network
Management or the craft terminal interface. Each
unit has its own provisioning options. The provisioning options are as follows with the default optioning noted:

This unit provides for alarm contacts for audible
and visual alarms. Access to the alarm contacts is
provided on the 360-80 shelf. Pressing the audible
alarm cut-off (ACO) switch clears the alarm indication for the audible alarm contacts (pressing this
switch does not clear the alarm). See the shelf
documentation for information on wiring. The unit
generates alarm indications based on the configuration of the alarm registers. See section on network management for more information.

To use either interface from outside the E1 controller’s LAN, a “gateway” address must be defined.
The gateway address should be the same as the
IP address of the LAN’s router.

The RJ-11 jack on the front of the unit is the local
craft/control port. The default interface is an
RS-232 connection that defaults to 9600 baud, 8
bits, 1 stop and no parity. The interface through
the control port is VT-100. VT-100 operation on a
PC requires VT-100 emulation software. An IP
address and IP subnet mask must be configured
through the craft interface before the unit will communicate with the NMS/GUI or SNMP. To communicate with SNMP, the SNMP community table
must also be configured. See the network management section or the network management interface documentation for more information.
A cable (03-200542-0) is available to connect between the front panel RJ11 jack and a DB-9 connector.
