INTRODUCTION

2 Introduction
This section presents a general introduction to the LEDA1 unit.
The section is closed with a unit view in section "Installation" (page 21).

2.1 General

This document describes the architecture and functions of the LEDA1 unit
and shows, how this unit is commissioned and operated as part of the
FOX61x.
The LEDA1 unit is a 1-slot wide service unit of FOX61x. As a FOX61x PDH
unit it provides PBUS access.
The unit supports the following interfaces:
− 8 analogue voice interfaces with a telephony bandwidth of 300 Hz to
3.4 kHz, configurable to 2-wire or 4-wire access mode,
− 16 E&M signalling interfaces, where each voice channel offers 2 E&M
signalling channels.
The LEDA1 unit is designed for two main applications:
− Inter-exchange connections, supporting E&M interface types I to V.
− Terminal equipment connections, e.g. for party line subscriber sets or
modems for data over voice transmission.
Beside the voice access LEDA1 offers the possibility to establish voice con-
ferences with participants from the LEDA1 unit or any voice circuit available
in FOX61x.

LEDA1 has an access capacity of 4 x 2 Mbit/s towards the FOX61x internal


cross connection backplane, PBUS, allowing access of the eight voice user
ports and of up to 10 voice conferences with up to 32 participants in total.
The following network features will help to enhance the systems availability:
• Performance monitoring
• 1+1 end to end linear trail protection

FOX61xLEDA1 13
INTRODUCTION

A more economical use of the network resources can be achieved by the


features like:
• Support of point-to-multipoint linear networks (P2MP)
• Support of multipoint-to-multipoint linear networks (MP2MP)
LEDA1 is connected to a TDM transport unit as e.g. a LEDE1 unit via the
PBUS in the backplane of FOX61x.

2.2 Unit view

Figure 2: LEDA1 unit view

Figure 2 shows the LEDA1 unit hardware. On the front plate are two LEDs
for the unit- and traffic failure indication. The connector for 8 E&M interfaces
is based on the standard DIN 41 612.

4.6 Connections and cables

4.6.1 Front connector of the LEDA1 unit


The front connector of the LEDA1 unit has 64 pins (2x32, row a and row c
are used). This corresponds to 8 interfaces, each with 8 lines. Every inter-
face consists of balanced voice lines (2-wire or 4-wire) and 4 lines for signal-
ling.
A ground wire is not provided. To ensure correct functioning of the signalling,
a common earth return from the exchange to the LEDA1 unit is required.
This connection is established via the subrack ground. The potential differ-
ence between the exchange ground and the FOX61x ground must be less
than 4 V.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.1.2 Point-to-multipoint (P2MP)


The point-to-multipoint application is a linear or star network application. It
connects one master E+M interface with several slave E+M interfaces
through a TDM network.
When the master terminal sends, it sends in direction towards the slaves,
and all slave terminals can receive the sent signal.
When a slave terminal sends, it sends in direction towards the master, and
only the master can receive the sent signal.
The sender does not receive its sent signal.
This type of application is used together with the conferencing features of
LEDA1.
The connection between any two network elements can be protected with
1+1 SNC protection on the transport layer
It is also possible to implement a shared protection ring (SPR) for the protec-
tion of the linear LEDA1 network. For further information please refer to

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.2 Conferencing

5.2.1 Local conferences


The LEDA1 unit offers up to 10 individual voice conferences for local partici-
pants, i.e. from LEDA1 ports or any other E+M or PSTN unit in the network
element. The conferences include also the participants from the “to master”
and “to slave” direction, i.e. from other network elements, transported via the
TDM network.
The number of participants per conference is limited to 17.
The total number of participants of all 10 conferences is limited to 32.
Local conferences on one or several LEDA1 units can be cascaded to build
one large conference with more than 17 participants.
The voice conference function performs the addition of the voice signals.
The G.711 coded signals of the participants are decoded to the linear format,
level adjusted and added. The voice signal of every second participant is
inverted to avoid feedback or other acoustic instabilities.
Finally the summed signal is coded to the G.711 format. The signalling pat-
terns of all participants are combined in a wired-AND function, i.e. if any of
the participants exhibits an active state (CAS-bit = 0), this active state is
inherited to the combined CAS signal.

5.2.3 Conferences in the MP2MP application


Conferences in the multipoint-to-multipoint application consist of a number of
sub-conferences. The number of sub-conferences corresponds to the num-
ber of participants. The sub-conference of each participant adds the voice
and CAS signals of all participants except the own signal.
The sender does not receive its sent signal.
The designation “to master” or “to slave” has no relevance for the conference
itself, since the setup is symmetrical in relation to the network directions. The
“to master” and “to slave” participant designations just help to setup the
transport cross connections.

5.3 Voice

5.3.1 E&M voice interface types


The LEDA1 unit offers 8 2-wire or 4-wire analogue voice interfaces. The
voice interface type is configurable by the element manager individually per
port.
The analogue voice bandwidth is 300 … 3'400 Hz. The voice input and out-
put gains are configurable by the element manager individually per port.
The analogue voice signal is coded and decoded according to ITU-T G.711,
A-law.

Figure 16: LEDA1 voice interface

5.3.2 Line echo cancellation


A mismatch between the impedance of the subscriber line and the LEDA1
user port line impedance causes a near end echo that can be heard at the
far end.
The line echo canceller reduces this near end echo with a tail length of 1 ms.
This feature can be enabled or disabled in the LEDA1 interface configura-
tion.

Risk of operating trouble!


When connecting a modem to LEDA1 the echo canceller must be disabled
by configuration.
An enabled echo canceller can disturb the data transmission.

Please note:
The LEDA1 unit is not able to detect a modem control tone (and automati-
cally disable the echo canceller).
The line echo canceller can be enabled or disabled. The echo canceller is
mainly used in the 2-wire interface mode.
The echo canceller requires the returned echo signal to be attenuated by at
least 6 dB to be able to adapt, i.e. the line termination at the subscribers ter-
minal equipment must be close to the 600 Ω line impedance implemented on
LEDA1.

5.3.3 E&M interface voice transport


With each of the 8 user ports the LEDA1 unit offers a 2-wire or 4-wire ana-
logue voice interface.

34 FOX61xLEDA1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

For each subscriber port the relative input level and relative output level of
the analogue signal can be adjusted by configuration:
In the digital network the relative level is at 0 dBr according to ITU-T G.101,
i.e. the relative level configuration corresponds directly to the signal levels at
the analogue port. The following figure shows the relative levels, and in italic
also the absolute levels.

-6 dBr -6 dBr 0 dBr

Figure 17: Level configuration on input and output directions

The values in italic are examples of absolute levels. With the shown configu-
ration you have in upstream direction a gain of 2 dB and in downstream
direction a loss of 6 dB.

Please note:
With the 2-wire interface type the absolute output level should always be at
least 1 dB below the absolute input level in order to eliminate any echo or
instability of the subscriber interface.

Please note:
To avoid reflexions with high impedance telephones connected to a user
port, an external terminating resistor must be applied. The resulting termina-
tion should be close to 600 Ω.
Echo signals due to reflexions cause disturbances in conferences.

Please note:
The theoretical load capacity of a PCM A-law coded signal is +3.14 dBm0.
With a relative level of 0 dBr, the maximum absolute level is therefore 0 dBr
+ 3.14 dBm0 = 3.14 dBm.

The voice handling can be configured with the following control mechanisms:
• Interface type 2-wire or 4-wire:

FOX61xLEDA1 35
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The 2-wire interface type uses only the a2/b2 pins of the voice user port.
The 4-wire interface type uses the a1/b1 pins for the output signal and
the a2/b2 pins for the input signal.
• Back-to-back loop:
The maintenance function ‘back-to-back loop’ loops the voice signal com-
ing from the backplane back to the backplane. The loop is transparent.
• Front-to-front loop:
The maintenance function ‘front-to-front loop’ loops the voice signal com-
ing from the front interface back to the front interface.
The signal is looped via the backplane, i.e. the PBUS. The loop is trans-
parent.
• Input level:
With the 2-wire interface type the relative input level can be configured
from -12.5 dBr to +9.5 dBr in steps of 0.5 dBr.
With the 4-wire interface type the relative input level can be configured
from -16.0 dBr to +9.5 dBr in steps of 0.5 dBr.
• Output level:
With the 2-wire interface type the relative output level can be configured
from -20.0 dBr to -1.0 dBr in steps of 0.5 dBr.
With the 4-wire interface type the relative output level can be configured
from -16.5 dBr to +7.0 dBr in steps of 0.5 dBr.
• Interface line state ‘out of service’:
The maintenance function ‘out of service’ of an interface replaces the
transmit signal going to the PBUS by an ‘all-1’ signal.
In receive direction the receive signal from the PBUS is replaced by a
silence signal, i.e. by an ‘all-0’ signal in the 16-bit linear voice domain.
• Interface line state ‘test signal insertion’:
The maintenance function ‘test signal insertion’ replaces in receive direc-
tion the voice signal by a continuous test signal sequence:

• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are ‘trail signal fail’ and ‘trail signal degrade’ from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled, CAS AIS is an additional
switching criterion.

5.3.4 Conference voice transport


The LEDA1 unit offers voice conferences with a maximum of 17 participants
per conference. In order to eliminate any instabilities the participants input
signals and output signals can be attenuated.

36 FOX61xLEDA1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The squelch function suppresses small voice levels in order to avoid sum-
ming up noise signals. The squelch level can be configured on the unit layer.
The higher the squelch level the higher are also audible disturbances on the
voice signal.
In the multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) application, all participants are han-
dled identically. Each participant has its own sub-conference. The sub-con-
ference of each participant adds the voice signals of all participants except
the own signal.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.4 Signalling

5.4.1 E&M signalling interface states and CAS bits


With each of the 8 user ports the LEDA1 unit offers 2 signalling interfaces
E&M and E’&M’. E&M signalling is used as interface between a trunk circuit
(e.g. PABX) and a signalling unit (signalling transport). LEDA1 plays the role
of a signalling unit.
The E&M signalling is transported through a TDM network in the CAS bits.

Figure 23: LEDA1 signalling interface

The detectors for the M and M’ signal states are implemented as voltage
detectors, not as current detectors. The default mapping of M and M’ signal
states to CAS signalling states is as follows.
M signal connected to ground → CAS a-bit = 0
M signal open or connected to battery voltage → CAS a-bit = 1
M’ signal connected to ground → CAS b-bit = 0
M’ signal open or connected to battery voltage → CAS b-bit = 1
To be able to handle all five E&M interface types (refer to section "E&M sig-
nalling interface types" (page 41) the CAS bit value for the M-detection can
be inverted.
The E and E’ signal outputs are open (highZ) in the inactive state and con-
nected to ground in the active state:
CAS a-bit = 0 → E signal output connected to ground (lowZ)
CAS a-bit = 1 → E signal output open (highZ)
CAS b-bit = 0 → E’ signal output connected to ground (lowZ)
CAS b-bit = 1 → E’ signal output open (highZ)
In case CAS is not used the signalling transport is not available. The E and
E’ signal outputs are kept in the open state.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.4.2 E&M signalling interface types


E&M signalling has five different implementations, called type I to type V.
The differences between the types are
− the number of used wires,
− the signalling voltage levels, and
− the detector bias voltage levels.
An inactive state (onhook) is transported with the CAS bit = 1, the active
state (offhook) is transported as CAS bit = 0.

Table 6: E&M signalling types


State Type M, M’ M bias CAS a, b E, E’ E bias
active I battery ground 0 ground battery
II battery ground 0 ground battery

V ground battery 0 ground battery
inactive I ground ground 1 open battery
II open ground 1 open battery
III ground ground 1 open battery
(SG wire)
IV open battery 1 open battery
V open battery 1 open battery

The LEDA1 unit supports all five interface types with some restrictions in the
interface cabling. Refer to the sections below.

5.4.2.1 E&M type I

Type I is a 2-wire interface using the M and E wires.


In the inactive state the M-wire is connected to ground and the E-wire is
open.
In the active state the M-wire is connected to battery and the E-wire is con-
nected to ground.

Type II is a 4-wire interface using the M, SB (signal battery), E and SG (sig-


nal ground) wires.
In the inactive state the M-wire and the E-wire are open.
In the active state the M-wire is connected to battery voltage fed from the
signalling unit via the SB wire and the E-wire is connected to ground fed
from the trunk unit via the SG wire.

is not used in this implementation.
For correct operation the potential difference between the trunk circuit
ground and the FOX61x ground must be < 4 V. This is generally the case if

5.4.3 E&M interface signalling transport


With each of the 8 user ports the LEDA1 unit offers 2 signalling interfaces
E&M and E’&M’. The M and M’ signalling inputs control the CAS bits a (M)

The CAS handling can be configured with the following control mechanisms:
• M signalling inverted:
M/M’ signal connected to ground → CAS a/b-bit = 1
M/M’ signal open or connected to battery voltage → CAS a/b-bit = 0
M signal not inverted:
M/M’ signal connected to ground → CAS a/b-bit = 0
M/M’ signal open or connected to battery voltage → CAS a/b-bit = 1
• Back-to-back loop:
The maintenance function ‘back-to-back loop’ loops the CAS pattern
coming from the backplane back to the backplane.

Please note:
The signalling loops work only for quasi static signalling patterns (< 1 signal-
ling state change per second).
• Front-to-front loop:
The maintenance function ‘front-to-front loop’ loops the CAS pattern com-
ing from the front interface back to the front interface.
The signal is looped via the backplane, i.e. the PBUS.

FOX61xLEDA1 47
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

• CAS enabled:
In transmit direction the a and the b bit are controlled by M and M’, the c
bit is fixed to ‘0’ and the d bit is fixed to ‘1’.
In receive direction the E and E’ signals are controlled by the a and b bit:
CAS a/b-bit = 0 → E/E’ signal output connected to ground (lowZ)
CAS a/b-bit = 1 → E/E’ signal output open (highZ)
CAS disabled:
In transmit direction the abcd bits are all set to ‘1’.
In receive direction the CAS AIS monitoring is disabled and the E and E’
signal outputs are set to open.
• Interface line state ‘out of service’:
The maintenance function ‘out of service’ of an interface replaces the
abcd bits from and towards the PBUS by the CAS AIS.
Depending of the signalling mode, the E/E’ output signals can be open
(‘transparent’, ‘incoming’) or closed to ground (‘outgoing’).
• Interface line state ‘test signal insertion’:
The maintenance function ‘test signal insertion’ replaces in receive direc-
tion the abcd bits by the idle pattern ‘1101’, i.e. the E and E’ signal out-
puts are set to open.
• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are ‘trail signal fail’ and ‘trail signal degrade’ from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled, CAS AIS is an additional
switching criterion.
• Signalling mode:
In receive direction the signalling mode defines the behaviour of the E/E’
signal outputs in case of a received CAS AIS. Please refer to section
"E&M interface signalling modes of operation" (page 48).

5.4.4 E&M interface signalling modes of operation


Transmission line and transmission equipment failures in the TDM network
cause the insertion of the alarm indication signal (AIS) in the signalling chan-
nel of an affected voice channel (CAS AIS = abcd = 1111).
If CAS is enabled in the port managed object, the signalling mode controls
the reaction of the E and E’ signal outputs in case of a received CAS AIS.
The following modes are available:
− transparent
− incoming
− outgoing
The terms “incoming” and “outgoing” are related to the connection establish-
ment. The calling exchange uses the signalling lines designated as “outgo-
ing”, on the called exchange these lines are designated as “incoming”. A
connection is established from the “outgoing” interface to the “incoming”
interface.

Figure 30: Incoming and outgoing lines

Depending if the failure occurred in direction to a called exchange or in direc-


tion to the calling exchange, the reaction on this failure must be handled dif-
ferently.
In forward direction, i.e. in direction to the called exchange, a transmission
failure must not block this connection so as not to tie up other exchanges to
call this telephone. The connection must be cleared at the incoming end.
In backward direction, i.e. in direction to the calling exchange, a transmission
failure must block this connection so it is not used again until the fault is cor-
rected. The connection must be blocked at the outgoing end.
The LEDA1 unit can provide such automatic signalling in case of transmis-
sion failures with the signalling mode configuration.
• Outgoing
At the outgoing end of a connection, the LEDA1 port configured to “out-
going” provides the following blocking signal to block the calling
exchange:
− When CAS AIS is received the outputs E/E’ are opened (derived from
bits a/b).
− After 12.5 s, the outputs E/E’ are connected to ground, i.e. blocked.
− 0.4 s after the CAS AIS is cleared, the outputs E/E’ are unblocked, i.e.
E/E’ are controlled by the a and b signalling bits.

• Incoming
At the incoming end of a connection, the LEDA1 unit configured to
“incoming” provides the following 700 ms clear forward signal pulse to
free the called exchange:
− When CAS AIS is received the outputs E/E’ are opened (derived from
bits a/b).
− After 12.5 s, the outputs E/E’ are connected to ground for 0.7 s and
afterwards opened again.
− 0.4 s after the CAS AIS is cleared, the outputs E/E’ are unblocked, i.e.
E/E’ are controlled by the a and b signalling bits.

This setting is used if the trunk line is used in an application that does not
require the manipulation of the signalling bits as described above. An
example is when the channel is used to transmit data using an analogue
modem:
− The output signals E/E’ are always directly controlled by the a and b
signalling bits.

5.4.5 Conference signalling transport


The LEDA1 unit offers up to 10 conferences with a maximum of 17 partici-
pants per conference. The signalling patterns of all participants are com-
bined in a wired-AND function, i.e. if any of the participants exhibits an active
state (CAS-bit = 0), this active state is inherited to the combined CAS signal.
In the multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) application, all participants are han-
dled identically. Each participant has its own sub-conference. The sub-con-
ference of each participant adds the CAS signals of all participants except
the own signal.

The CAS handling can be configured with the following control mechanisms:
• Participant CAS enabled:
In direction from the PBUS the abcd bits are the signalling bits received
from the PBUS.
In direction to the PBUS the abcd bits coming from the conference are
sent to the PBUS.
Participant CAS disabled:
In direction from the PBUS the CAS AIS monitoring is disabled and the
abcd bits are all set to ‘1’ (CAS AIS).
In direction to the PBUS the abcd bits coming from the conference are
replaced by the CAS AIS.

52 FOX61xLEDA1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Participant CAS enabling has precedence over the conference CAS ena-
bling.
• Participant line state ‘out of service’:
The maintenance function ‘out of service’ of a participant has the same
effect on the signalling as the CAS disabling of the participant, i.e. the
abcd bits from and towards the PBUS are replaced by the CAS AIS.
• Participant line state ‘test signal insertion’:
The maintenance function ‘test signal insertion’ replaces in direction from
the PBUS the abcd bits by the idle pattern ‘1101’.
• Conference CAS enabled:
In direction to the PBUS the abcd bits resulting from the AND combina-
tion are sent to the PBUS.
Conference CAS disabled:
In direction to the PBUS the abcd bits resulting from the AND combina-
tion are replaced by the idle pattern ‘1101’.
• Protection switching:
In direction from the PBUS a working and a protecting channel can be
configured. Switching criteria are ‘trail signal fail’ and ‘trail signal degrade’
from the P12 transport unit. With participant CAS enabled, CAS AIS is an
additional switching criterion.

Please note:
It a port requires CAS for the control signal transport CAS must be enabled
on the P12 transport signal.
→ The termination mode of the P12 transport signal must be set to
“PCM30” or “PCM30C”.

Risk of operating trouble!


It is possible to create a cross connection from a LEDA1 port using CAS to
another CTP not using CAS.
→ This would result in a non operational signalling transport.

− 1 participant ‘to master’, connected to the master terminal.
− 1 participant ‘to slave’, connected to the P12 transport in direction to
the slave NEs.
− any number of ‘local’ participants, connected to the local slave termi-
nals.

Please note:
When only one ‘master’ participant is connected at the ‘master NE’, no con-
ference is required and the master interface can be connected directly

• Slave NE without DTE:
− no participants.
• Slave NE:
− 1 participant ‘to slave’, connected to the P12 transport in direction to
the slave NE tail end.
− 1 participant ‘to master’, connected to the P12 transport in direction to
the master NE.
− at least 1 participant ‘local’, connected to the local slave terminal.
• Slave NE tail end:
− 1 participant ‘to master’, connected to the P12 transport in direction to
the master NE.
− at least 1 participant ‘local’, connected to the local slave terminal.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Please note:
When only one ‘local’ participant is connected at the ‘slave NE tail end’, no
conference is required and the local interface can be connected directly
towards the ‘master NE’.
Conferencing signals are all taken from the PBUS. There is no direct access
of the local port signals to a conference, i.e. all participants of a conference
must be cross connected with the cross connect configuration of FOX61x.

Please note:
It a participant requires CAS for the control signal transport CAS must be
enabled on the P12 transport signal.
→ The termination mode of the P12 transport signal must be set to
“PCM30” or “PCM30C”.

5.6 Protection

5.6.1 Subnetwork connection protection and linear trail protection


5.6.1.1 Protection features

LEDA1 supports 1+1 linear trail protection (LTP) and 1+1 inherently moni-
tored subnetwork connection protection (SNCP/I). 1+1 protection is available
for the E+M ports and for the conference participants.
The difference between the two protection scenarios lies in the availability of
CAS. CAS AIS is a failure criterion of the own layer, i.e. of the P0 layer.
• If CAS is available the CAS AIS failure can be detected, which is then the
1+1 linear trail protection. Trail protection protects against server failures
and disconnected matrix connections (via CAS AIS detection).
• If CAS is not available only the server layer defects can be detected,
which is then the 1+1 SNCP/I protection. SNCP/I protects against server
failures.
1+1 protection provides the 1+1 unidirectional protection. The operation type
can be configured to revertive or non-revertive.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.6.1.2 Protection configuration

P0 protection switching takes place in the LEDA1 cross connect function (P0
cross connect).
Protection switching action is driven by the traffic signal request type:
• Traffic signal requests:
− Signal fail (SF)
The SF state is activated if the analysis of the incoming server signal
on the transport unit reports a signal failure, e.g. loss of signal.
− CAS-AIS
The CAS signalling pattern abcd of the received signal exhibits an
AIS, i.e. abcd = 1111.
− Signal degraded (SD)
The SD state is activated if the analysis of the incoming server signal
on the transport unit reports a degraded signal, e.g. BER 10-6.
It is possible to check the status of the protection switch (working, protecting
circuit) via the CTP status function.
For more information on cross connections and protection switching please
refer to FOX61x TDM Services Manual.

5.6.2 Equipment protection (EQP)


5.6.2.1 EQP features

To protect the LEDA1 functions against a failure on the LEDA1 unit, FOX61x
offers the possibility to equip the subrack with a second LEDA1 unit.
EQP protects the conference function. The E&M interfaces can not be pro-
tected.
In case of a failure on the active (working or protecting) unit the user traffic is
rerouted from the failed LEDA1 unit to the stand-by LEDA1 (protecting or
working) unit.
The working and the protecting LEDA1 units can be plugged in any free slot
of the FOX61x subrack.

FOX61xLEDA1 57
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Please note:
The ports on the standby unit are inactive.

Please note:
The protection switching is non revertive, i.e. after the repair of a failed
LEDA1 unit, the currently active LEDA1 unit remains the active unit irrespec-
tive if it is the working or protecting unit.

Please note:
During a protection switching event the user traffic is interrupted for up to
10 s.

Please note:
Performance management data on the standby unit is cleared.
→ Performance management data collection restarts after an equipment
protection switchover event on the active unit.

5.6.2.2 EQP prerequisites

To enable equipment protection for the LEDA1 unit some prerequisites must
be met:
• The protecting LEDA1 unit must be in the unassigned state. Otherwise
the unit will not be selectable in the EQP configuration in AP: /unit-x, Con-
figuration - EQP: Create EQP Group…, EQP Group Creation, Protecting
Unit.
• The protecting unit must be hardware compatible with the working unit.
Check the hardware compatibility status after the EQP group configura-
tion in the AP: /unit-x, Status - EQP: Units Status, HW Compatible.
• The protecting unit must be software compatible with the working unit.
Check the software compatibility status after the EQP group configuration
in the AP: /unit-x, Status - EQP: Units Status, SW Compatible.
The compatible software must be installed on the LEDA1 unit before the
EQP group creation.
• The unit configuration of an equipment protection group is always done
on the active unit. The configuration on the standby unit is not possible.

Risk of operating trouble!


The configuration of an equipment protection group must be saved (AP: /
Configuration - Configuration Management: Save).
Otherwise, in case of a protection switch event, the NE will load an outdated
configuration from the internal configuration database and the NE configura-
tion will be corrupted.

5.6.2.3 EQP configuration

The working LEDA1 unit of an EQP group is assigned and configured the
same way as a stand alone LEDA1 unit.
The protecting LEDA1 unit is running with the same ESW as the working unit
and must be in the unassigned state.
The 1+1 equipment protection group is configured on the working unit:

58 FOX61xLEDA1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

• AP: /unit-x, Configuration - EQP.


− Execute the command “Create EQP Group…”.
− Select the Protecting unit, e.g. /unit-18.
− Execute “OK”.
• Save the NE configuration.
Further on any changes on the LEDA1 configuration must be done on the
active unit. To find out which unit is the active unit check the AP tree or the
unit status of the working or protecting LEDA1 unit.

5.6.2.4 EQP status

The unit status of the working and protecting units shows the actual status of
the units belonging to the equipment protection group. The unit status offers
also the commands for the EQP manipulation:
• Manual switch
The currently standby unit is set as active unit and the currently active
unit is set as standby unit. This requires that the currently standby unit is
in operational state, i.e.
− has no failure,
− is not isolated.
A manual switch is possible if it is indicated with the “Manual Switch-Over
Allowed” parameter.
Note that this command can only be activated on the working unit status
window.
• Forced switch
The currently standby unit is set as active unit, independent of the failure
state of the currently standby unit.
Note that there is a risk that the user traffic will be permanently inter-
rupted if the currently standby unit is in a failure state.
The currently active unit is set as standby unit.
Note that this command can only be activated on the working unit status
window.
• Isolate unit
To be able to perform a maintenance action, e.g. update of the embed-
ded software, on an active unit without activating a protection switch-
over, the working unit can be isolated. This means that the protection
switching state machine is frozen and no protection switch will be done
until the isolation of the unit is removed.
Note that the isolate unit command can only be applied to the working
unit.
• Join unit
Remove the isolation of a previously isolated unit.
Note that the join unit command can only be applied to the working unit.
The table in the EQP status window displays the following items:
• Unit
MO address of the unit belonging to the EQP group.
• EQP unit mode
The working unit is the unit where the protection group has been config-
ured.
The protecting unit is the unit that has been set to the unassigned state
before configuring the protection group.

FOX61xLEDA1 59
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

• Active
Active true means the unit is the active unit, i.e. it is the operational unit.
Active false means the unit is the standby unit, i.e. it is not the operational
unit.
The active state can be changed with the “Manual Switch” and “Forced
Switch” commands.
• Failure
Failure true means the unit is in a failure state.
Failure false means the unit is not in a failure state.
The failure state can not be changed manually.
• Substituted
Substituted true on the working unit means the unit has been substituted
by the protecting unit. A substituted unit is also in the “active false” state.
Substituted false on the working unit means the unit has not been substi-
tuted, i.e. it is the active unit or it has been isolated.
The substituted state of the protecting unit is always false.
• Isolated
Isolated true means the unit has been isolated with the “Isolate Unit”
command.
Isolated false means the unit is not isolated.
The isolation state can be changed with the “Isolate Unit” and “Join Unit”
commands.
The isolated state of the protecting unit is always false.
• HW Compatible
HW compatible true means the working HW unit is compatible with the
protecting HW unit.
HW compatible false means the working HW unit is not compatible with
the protecting HW unit. Equipment protection is not possible.
• SW Compatible
SW compatible true means the working unit embedded software (ESW) is
compatible with the protecting unit ESW.
SW compatible false means the working unit ESW is not compatible with
the protecting unit ESW. Equipment protection is not possible.
• DB Saved
DB saved true means the current configuration of the working unit has
been saved to the FOX61x internal database.
DB saved false means the current configuration of the working unit has
not been saved to the FOX61x internal database. A protection switching
event will load an outdated configuration and traffic will be disturbed.

FOX61x, the following figure has to be considered for the M wire limiting the
distance:
RS : Serial line resistance of the M wire
RP : Cable and contact leakage resistance
RT: Terminating resistance in LEDA1, 40 kΩ

This section describes the operation functions of the LEDA1 unit. You will
find the following information:
• Optical indicators found on the LEDA1 unit front (section "Unit optical
indicators" (page 73)).
• Diagnostic loops at LEDA1 front ports (section "Loops" (page 75)).
• Maintenance functions for ports and conference participants (section
"Line states" (page 76)).
• Generic maintenance functions of the unit (section "Maintenance"
(page 78)).

Please note:
The operation functions described in this section assume a correctly config-
ured and operational LEDA1 unit.

7.1 Unit optical indicators

LEDs on the front of the LEDA1 unit are used to indicate to the user the
alarm status summary of the unit and of the network traffic signals.

7.2 Loops

The following diagnostic loops can be individually set for each of the 8 E&M
ports:
• Front-to-front loop:
The front-to-front loop loops the voice signal and the E&M signalling
received at the front port back to the front port.
The loop is transparent, i.e. the forwarded voice signal and E&M signal-
ling towards the PBUS interface are the received signals from the front
port.
• Back-to-back loop:
The back-to-back loop loops the voice signal and the E&M signalling
received from the network interface (P12 transport unit) back to the net-
work interface.
The loop is transparent, i.e. the forwarded voice signal and E&M signal-
ling towards the front port are the received signals from the network.

OPERATION

7.3 Line states

The port and participant line state maintenance functions allow to take an
interface or a conference participant out of service or to insert a test signal
towards the front port or towards the conference.
The line state maintenance function provides the following parameters:
• In service:
This parameter restores the normal operating state of the front port or of
the conference participant.
• Out of service:
Take a front port or a conference participant out of service, i.e. replace
the voice signal by silence and the signalling by an AIS (abcd = 1111).
− Port maintenance:
This parameter can be used to simulate a failed path towards the front
port.
− Participant maintenance:
This parameter can be used to test the protection switching in a
shared protection ring (SPR) application due to a failed LEDA1 unit.
The conference is bypassed in the SPR.

Please note:
The line states of both the “to master” and the “to slave” participants must be
set to “out of service” to check the correct protection switching.
• Test signal insertion:
Replace the outgoing voice signal at the front port or a conference partici-
pants voice signal by a test signal. The signalling is replaced by the idle
pattern (abcd = 1101), i.e. the E and E’ signalling outputs are set to open.
− Port maintenance:
This parameter provides an easy way to check the connection from
the LEDA1 unit to a connected telephone set.
To insert a test signal towards the TDM network, a back-to-back loop
must be applied at the corresponding interface.
− Participant maintenance:
This parameter provides an easy way to check the connection from
the LEDA1 unit to any other conference participant.
In a point-to-multipoint application a test signal inserted at the ‘to mas-
ter’ participant is sent to all ‘local’ and the ‘to slave’ participants. A test
signal inserted at a ‘local’ or ‘to slave’ participant is sent to the ‘to mas-
ter’ participant.
In a multipoint-to-multipoint application a test signal inserted at any
participant is sent to all other participants.
When applying a maintenance function the following signals are sent
towards the front port or the conference and towards the PBUS:

7.4.3 ESW upgrade with EQP


When upgrading the ESW on 1:1 equipment protected LEDA1 units, care
must be taken concerning which unit will finally be the active unit. At the end
of the upgrade procedure the working unit shall be the active unit.
It is assumed that the working unit is plugged in slot 17 and the protecting
unit is plugged in slot 18 of the FOX subrack.

ESW upgrade procedure The following procedure provides the upgrade process without changing the
active unit.

Isolate the working unit Proceed as follows:


1. Isolate the working LEDA1 unit:
 AP: /unit-17, Status – EQP.
 Execute the “Isolate Unit” command.
 The working LEDA1 unit is isolated, i.e. it will not perform a protection
switchover.

ESW download and start Proceed as follows:


1. Download the new ESW file to the working LEDA1 unit:
 Menu NE - Software Download….
 Click on the table row with ID “unit-17”.
 Execute the “Configure...” command.
2. In the “Software download settings” dialogue configure the following
items:
 Select the software to be downloaded from the software selection
box.
