1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
When operating with a digital channel, the basic configuration of the Universal Power-Line
Carrier terminal type OPU-1 includes two ports, one for the transmission of synchronous
data, capable of working at a maximum speed of 72 kbit/s, and the other for the
transmission of asynchronous data for a maximum speed of 14400 bit/s.
By means of an optional internal multiplexer, made up of additional modules incorporated in

the OPU-1 base equipment, multiplexing of different services, speech and data, is possible
using the net bit rate the terminal allows. When the transmission rate is 81 kbit/s the system
net bit rate is of 79 kbit/s, when the transmission rate is 40.5 kbit/s the system net bit rate is
of 39.5 kbit/s, and when it is 27 kbit/s the net bit rate is of 26.3 kbit/s.
The configuration, programming and supervision of each of the multiplexer ports, speech
and data, is carried out by means of the Management System of the OPU-1 terminal.
1.2 CONSTITUTION
The optional internal multiplexer of the OPU-1 terminal consists of up to three modules, which
can be DMPU and/or TMPU type.
The DMPU module is equipped with data ports, up to a maximum of six. Using only
modules of this type, the number of data ports of the equipment can be extended to a total
of twenty, belonging two of the data ports to the basic equipment and the remaining
eighteen to the three optional DMPU modules.
The TMPU module is equipped with speech ports, up to two, and can be equipped with a
data port. Using only modules of this type, the number of ports of the equipment can be
extended with six speech ports of the three TMPU modules and with five data ports,
belonging two of the data ports to the basic equipment and the remaining three to the three
optional TMPU modules.

OPU-1
The characteristics of DMPU and TMPU modules are described in the following.
DMPU.## Data module.
Each DMPU module can house up to six data ports.
TABLE 1 indicates the interfaces allowed for each port and connector type.
The module can perform drop-insert functionality which allows a more

efficient use of the system bandwidth. The drop-insert is particularly
suitable for half-duplex communications or polling systems (Central
Unit/Remotes).
The type of module depends on the number of ports, in this way:
DMPU.02 2 data communication channels (port 3/9/15 and port 4/10/16).
DMPU.04 4 data communication channels (port 3/9/15, port 4/10/16, port

5/11/17 and port 6/12/18).
DMPU.06 6 data communication channels (port 3/9/15, port 4/10/16, port

5/11/17, port 6/12/18, port 7/13/19 and port 8/14/20).
TABLE 1 Interfaces supported by the DMPU module ports

Port 4/10/16 (DB15 female) Port 7/13/19 (DB9 female) and Port 8/14/20 (DB9 female)
V.24/V.28 (RS-232C) V.24 asynchronous
X.21 RS-422
RS-422 RS-485 (HD/FD)
RS-485 (HD/FD)
The external connection of a DMPU module is carried out directly on the front connectors.

OPU-1
TMPU. ## Speech module.
Allows duplex transmission and reception with speech encoder at 2100 bit/s,
2450 bit/s or 2800 bit/s based on RALCWI coding algorithm.
The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) of voice quality is about 3.5-3.6.
Supports up to 2 speech communication channels for 4-wire or 2-wire

telephone termination. When 2-wire is configured, two operation modes are
obtained: FXO (2-wire exchange-side) and FXS (2-wire subscriber side).
For the FXO mode, it includes ring detection and the exchange subscriber-
loop management. For the FXS mode, it includes the subscriber circuits:
ring-current generator and pick up detection.
It allows transmission and reception by E/M-wire signalling, in band or out

of band.
It allows transmission and reception by DTMF, in band.
It allows transmission and reception of factory preset tones, in band.
Possibility of incorporating modem protocols for standards V.21 (300 bit/s

FSK), Bell 103 (300 bit/s FSK), V.23 (1200/75 bit/s FSK) and Bell 202
(1200/75 bit/s FSK).
The TMPU module can contain a data port with an interface (DB15 female)
that complies with Recommendation V.24/V.28 of the UIT-T (RS-232C).
The type of module depends on the number of ports, in this way:
TMPU.11 1 speech communication channel (Port 4/10/16) plus 1 data

channel (Port 3/9/15).
TMPU.21 2 speech communication channels (Port 4/10/16 and Port

5/11/17) plus 1 data channel (Port 3/9/15).
The external connection of a TMPU module data port is carried out directly on the front
connector, whilst the external connection of the speech ports is carried out through the
ZTPU terminal block. This block can be installed on the rear of the equipment (plug-in
terminal block type ZTPU.#1) or in a cabinet-mounted terminal block (block type ZTPU.#0).

2.2 CONNECTIONS OF THE TMPU MODULE DATA PORT
The DB15 female connector of a TMPU module supports V.24/V.28 interface of the ITU-T
(EIA RS-232C). See connection in TABLE 3.
The external connection is carried out directly on the front connector.

OPU-1
2.3 CONNECTIONS OF THE TMPU MODULE SPEECH PORTS
The TMPU module supports 1 or 2 speech communication channels for 4-wire or 2-wire
telephone termination, and FXO (exchange side) or FXS (subscriber side) mode for the
2-wire configuration, with speech encoder at 2100 bit/s, 2450 bit/s and 2800 bit/s based on
RALCWI coding algorithm.
The external connection of the TMPU module speech ports is carried out through the ZTPU
terminal block, pluggable at the rear of the equipment (ZTPU.11 for 1 speech port or
ZTPU.21 for 2 speech ports) or for installation in a cabinet-mounting terminal block
(ZTPU.10 for 1 speech port or ZTPU.20 for 2 speech ports).
The front view of the terminal block is shown in FIGURE 1. As can be seen in the figure,
each port has associated two terminal blocks of five terminals (J1 and J4 for port P4/10/16
and J2 and J5 for port P5/11/17), whose use is shown in the figure. In addition, for direct
connection of a telephone, each port has an associated RJ-11 connector (J8 for port
P4/10/16 and J9 for port P5/11/17).
Each port can also be associated with a terminal block of five terminals (J6 for port
P4/10/16 and J7 for port P5/11/17). The use of these terminals is shown in FIGURE 2.
The block terminals do NOT have disconnect devices (system PUSH-IN, AWG26-AWG12),
2
and are suitable for conductors from 0.2 to 2.5 mm of section.
The XMT and RCV levels for 2W and 4W are configured from the OPU-1 Management
System. When the system is working with 2W, the 4WT are not used.
The M-wire and the 2W/4W switching inputs are optocoupled. The E-wire and T-wire
outputs are relay voltage-free contacts.
In normal operation conditions, the T-wire is activated, that is to say, N.O. and C contacts of
the associated relay are short-circuited.

3 COMMISSIONING
This chapter describes the function of the LEDs on the front plate of the DMPU and TMPU
modules.
3.1 LED INDICATION OF THE DMPU MODULE
FIGURE 3 shows the front view of the different types of DMPU module.
Each port of the DMPU module has two amber LEDs associated that indicate the state of
the port. The indications are the following.
Amber LED Lights up to indicate the transmission of a logical "0" in the TD

(higher) line.
Amber LED Lights up to indicate the transmission of a logical "0" in the RD

(lower) line.
When a data loop is programmed in a port, the amber LEDs associated with the port light
up alternately at a cadence of 0.5 s/0.5 s.
On the other hand, the amber LEDs associated with the port light up simultaneously at a
cadence of 0.2 s/0.2 s, when a port is not programmed or is disabled, either because the
programming is not correct or the port de-activation has been programmed. This
signalling also occurs when a port is blocked by the connection of the service telephony
and when the link is broken.

4 DESCRIPTION OF THE OPU-1 MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

ASSOCIATED WITH THE MULTIPLEXER (DMPU / TMPU)
The OPU-1 Management System incorporates the pages which allow the ports of the
optional multiplexer made up of the DMPU and/or TMPU modules to be configured and
programmed, to supervise the state of the ports, as well as to carry out a data loop in each
or de-activate them.
4.1 CONFIGURATION
4.1.1 Configuration of the OPU-1 terminal
In order to configure and program the multiplexer, it is necessary to specify the operative
parameters, such as, speed, data format in asynchronous data ports, signalling, etc.
However, before programming the multiplexer, it is necessary to configure the OPU-1

Universal power-line carrier terminal that contains the multiplexer.
If the management terminal is connected to the OPU-1 terminal, all the corresponding
parameters of each programming page can be acquired by pressing the RETRIEVE
CommandButton. All the configuration and programming of the OPU-1, either of the
terminal itself or a file, can be acquired by means of the Files submenu of the System
menu. Once the information has been acquired, if communication exists between the
computer and the OPU-1 terminal, it is possible to program it in the terminal from the same
Files submenu.
4.1.2 Configuration of the internal multiplexer modules
Once the OPU-1 terminal is configured, the configuration of the modules of the internal
multiplexer is carried out from the Digital configuration option of the Digital part submenu of
the Configuration menu.
In the associated page, the parameters associated with the configuration of the internal
multiplexer modules are shown in FIGURE 5.

OPU-1
FIGURE 5 Configuring the internal multiplexer modules
V2 multiplexer version is corresponding to the DMPU and/or TMPU modules.
The optional internal multiplexer of the OPU-1 terminal consists of up to three modules.
Each of the three MODULE ListBox allows the user to select the type of module, in this
way: DMPU-02, DMPU-04, DMPU-06, TMPU-11 and TMPU-21.
Using only DMPU modules, the number of data ports of the equipment can be extended to
a total of twenty, belonging two of the data ports to the basic equipment and the remaining
eighteen to the three optional DMPU modules.
Using only TMPU modules, the number of ports of the equipment can be extended with six
speech ports of the three TMPU modules and with five data ports, belonging two of the data
ports to the basic equipment and the remaining three to the three optional TMPU modules.
As an example, FIGURE 6 shows the appearance of the screen once a DMPU-04 module,
a TMPU-21 module and a DMPU-02 module are configured. As is shown in the figure, eight
positions are reserved per module, in this way: P3 to P8 for module (I), P9 to P14 for
module (II) and P15 to P20 for module (III). The positions remain reserved although there
is no associated port. See in FIGURE 3 and FIGURE 4 that the position numbering
corresponds to the one specified on the module front plate.
Once the multiplexer modules are configured, the DROP-INSERT OPTION section for the
data ports of the DMPU modules is displayed. DROP-INSERT operation is described in
section 4.1.4.

OPU-1
FIGURE 6 Example of configuration of the internal multiplexer modules

OPU-1
4.1.3 Programming of the internal multiplexer ports
Once the internal multiplexer modules are configured, port programming is carried out from
the Multiplexer option of the Digital part submenu of the Configuration menu.
The appearance of the screen is shown in FIGURE 7 of example.
The P1 and P2 ports correspond to the basic ports of the OPU-1 equipment, integrated into
the MQPU module.
The P1 port is associated with a synchronous data port up to 72 kbit/s, with interface
according to Recommendation V.35 or V.11 of the ITU-T or G.703 codirectional or
contradirectional.
The P2 port is associated with an asynchronous data port up to 14400 bit/s, with interface
according to Recommendation V.24/V.28 of the ITU-T.
Ports P3 to P20 correspond to internal multiplexer ports (up to three modules to choose
from the following: DMPU-02, DMPU-04, DMPU-06, TMPU-11 and TMPU-21).
If data has not been acquired in the page, the multiplexer configuration established in
section 1.4.2, Configuration of the internal multiplexer modules, appears in the DETECTED
ListBoxes.
When the RETRIEVE CommandButton is pressed (situated at the bottom of the page) the
web application shows the ports installed in the OPU-1 terminal connected to the computer.
The non-installed ports are shown as Not detected.
If the type selected in the port does not coincide with that of the submodule installed in the
terminal, the indicator STATE lights up in amber. However, if the type coincides, it lights up
in green.
It is possible to program a port without its associated module being present in the OPU-1
terminal. When the corresponding module is installed in the OPU-1 terminal, the port
becomes operative.

OPU-1
FIGURE 7 Example of programming of internal multiplexer ports

OPU-1
If one wishes to de-activate a port, the ACTIVATED CheckBox associated with it must be
deactivated and then the PROGRAM CommandButton at the bottom of the page must be
pressed.
When a port is disabled, it does not lose its assigned position in the internal frame, but only
stops transmitting information. In order for the port not lose its assigned position in the
internal frame, the option Not programmed must be programmed in the USE ListBox
associated with it.
The disabled port starts functioning again when the corresponding ACTIVATED CheckBox
is selected and the PROGRAM CommandButton is pressed.
When a port is de-activated, in the corresponding DMPU module and, if applicable, in the
TMPU module, the amber LEDs associated with the port light up simultaneously at a
cadence of 0.2 s/0.2 s. In the case of the ports integrated in the OPU-1 terminal, the LED
ACTIVE associated with the port goes out on the front plate of the MQPU module.
As is shown in the example of FIGURE 7, in order to see graphically the occupation of the
port in the frame, a different colour is associated with each port, as long as the label is
different from Not programmed.
The information proceeding from the ports and from the Ethernet user interface is
multiplexed in frames of 81 kbit/s, 40.5 kbit/s or 27 kbit/s. The first bit of each frame (S) is
used for the frame synchronism and the second (C) for the internal service channel.
4.1.3.1 Synchronous data port
When programming a synchronous data port, it is necessary to specify whether one wishes
to establish an associated channel in the port for signalling (RTS and DCD), the speed of
data in transmission and reception, and the type of interface.
The selection of Yes in the SIGNALLING ListBox involves the use of one bit of the internal
frame. Signalling will therefore occupy 200 bit/s, 100 bit/s or 66 bit/s depending on whether
the gross bit rate is of 81 kbit/s, 40.5 kbit/s or 27 kbit/s.
The SPEED ListBox allows the transmit and receive data speed to be introduced. The
range of possible values is a function of the gross bit rate. At 81 kbit/s and 40.5 kbit/s, the
value range is comprised between 600 bit/s and 38400 bit/s and, at 27 kbit/s, between
600 bit/s and 19200 bit/s.

OPU-1
4.1.3.2 Asynchronous data port
When programming an asynchronous data port, the parameters that must be specified are
signalling, speed, data bits and stop bits, and the type of interface.
The SIGNALLING ListBox allows an associated channel for signalling (RTS and DCD) to
be established in the port. The selection of Yes involves the use of one bit of the internal
The ListBox labelled SPEED allows the data speed of the port to be introduced. The range
of possible values is a function of the gross bit rate. At 81 kbit/s and 40.5 kbit/s, the value
range is comprised between 50 bit/s and 28800 bit/s and, at 27 kbit/s, between 50 bit/s and
19200 bit/s.
Lastly, come the ListBoxes for the establishment of the data format. It is possible to
program the number of data and stop bits from the data format. The number of bits per
character can be 9, 10 or 11 bits depending on the number of data and stop bits. The data
format is:
START BIT + DATA BITS + STOP BITS = 8, 9, 10 or 11 bits/character
If a format with parity bit is used, the parity bit must be contained in the data bit field.
4.1.3.3 Anisochronous data port
When programming an anisochronous data port, the parameters that must be specified are
signalling and speed.
The SIGNALLING ListBox allows an associated channel for signalling (RTS and DCD) to
be established in the port. The selection Yes involves the use of one bit of the internal
(2)
The ListBox labelled SPEED allows the transmit and receive data speed to be introduced.
To transmit anisochronous data, a synchronous channel is used with a standard speed,
which is ten times higher than the one selected. For this reason, once the speed has been
(2)
The anisochronous data is not referred to any clock signal and has no format. That is to say, the transitions take place at
random moments. Therefore, the speed to be programmed should correspond to the speed that permits the minimum pulse
time to be transmitted.

OPU-1
introduced, the bit/s eliminated from the net bit rate of the system do not correspond with
those introduced in the ListBox SPEED.
4.1.3.4 Speech port at 2100 bit/s, 2450 bit/s or 2800 bit/s (RALCWI)
The values to be programmed in a RALCWI speech port are the signalling, speed, the
termination type and the speech levels in transmission and reception.
The SIGNALLING ListBox allows an associated channel for signalling (E&M wires) to be
established in the port. When In Band is selected, the signalling is managed using the band
destined for the transmission of the voice signals. However, if Out-of-Band is selected, the
signalling will occupy 1 kbit/s, 500 bit/s or 333 bit/s depending on whether the gross bit rate
is of 81 kbit/s, 40.5 kbit/s or 27 kbit/s.
2-wire operating mode, either exchange side or subscriber side, requires the use of
signalling.
The ListBox labelled SPEED allows the output speed of the encoder to be configured, a
possible selection being 2100, 2450 or 2800 bit/s. If no speed is selected the application
will consider that the port is not to be programmed. Therefore, the port is disabled and has
no assigned position in the internal frame.
The CONFIGURABLE TERMINATION ListBox allows the telephone termination to be

selected at 2 wire or 4 wire, at 2-wire exchange side (FXO) or at 2-wire subscriber side
(FXS). If 2W is selected, the port remains programmed at 2W regardless of the type of
external input. If, however, 4W is selected, the port remains programmed at 4W or 2W
depending on the external input.
Finally, are the TextBox that determine the voice level in XMT and in RCV for 2W and 4W.
In each case the programming is independent.
The programmable range is between 20 dBm and +8 dBm.

4.1.4 Configuration of the drop-insert function
The configuration of the drop-insert function is carried out from the Digital configuration
option of the Digital part submenu of the Configuration menu.
In the associated page, when the RETRIEVE CommandButton associated with the
DIGITAL CHANNEL OPTION section is pressed, or once the modules are configured, the
DROP-INSERT OPTIONS section appears for the data ports of the DMPU modules.
For example, if the DMPU.06, DMPU.04 and DMPU.02 modules are configured, the
parameters of the DROP-INSERT OPTIONS section correspond to those shown in
FIGURE 8.
FIGURE 8 Example of configuration of drop-insert parameters

OPU-1
The drop-insert function allows the port incoming information (main port) to be replicated in
various destination ports (auxiliary ports). As is shown in FIGURE 8, a DMPU.06 module
has three main ports, a DMPU.04 module has two main ports, and a DMPU.02 module
has one main port.
The most outstanding application of the drop-insert function is the transmission of a polling
message from a central unit to various RTUs and the responds from the interrogated RTU,
see FIGURE 10 of example. The drop-insert is therefore a configuration suitable for half
duplex point-to-multipoint structures and polling systems.
The configuration of the drop-insert parameters for the example of FIGURE 10, would be
the one shown in FIGURE 9.

4.2 MONITORING
The Digital part submenu of the Monitoring menu of the OPU-1 Management System
contains a submenu, Multiplexer state, which allows the state of the multiplexer ports to be
displayed.
The submenu gives access to two options: Data and Speech.
Monitoring data, data and speech, is only shown in the ports where the programming is
in accordance with the type of submodule installed in the OPU-1 terminal. Should the
port programming be incongruous, or the associated module not be present in the
equipment, no information associated with the port will appear.
4.2.1 Data port monitoring
The Data option gives access to a page that allows the state of the data ports of the MQPU
module to be displayed, and the status of the data ports of the optional DMPU and/or
TMPU modules installed in the OPU-1 terminal, see FIGURE 11.
FIGURE 11 Example of monitoring of internal multiplexer data ports

OPU-1
Once the page has been accessed, the SPEED CheckBox shows the speed programmed,
whilst the USE ListBox shows the type of each of the ports, that is to say, whether a port is
of synchronous, asynchronous or anisochronous.
It is possible to supervise the data port signalling by means of the DCD, RTS, CTS and
DSR indicators. The PC acquires continual information about the state of these signals in
the ports. The indicator lights up in green when the signal is active.
Bear in mind that P3 to P8 ports are reserved for module (I), P9 to P14 ports for module
(II) and P15 to P20 ports for module (III). See in FIGURE 3 that the position numbering
correspond to the one specified on the module front plate.
4.2.2 Speech port monitoring
The Speech option gives access to a page that allows the state of the speech ports of the
optional TMPU modules installed in the OPU-1 terminal to be displayed, see FIGURE 12.
FIGURE 12 Example of monitoring of internal multiplexer speech ports

OPU-1
Once the page has been accessed, the SPEED CheckBox shows the speed programmed,
whilst the USE ListBox shows that the speech port uses the RALCWI coding algorithm.
It is possible to supervise the speech port signalling by means of the E and M indicators.
The PC acquires continual information about the state of these signals in the ports. The
indicator lights up in green when the signal is active.
Bear in mind that P3 to P8 ports are reserved for module (I), P9 to P14 ports for module
(II) and P15 to P20 ports for module (III). See in FIGURE 4 that the position numbering
correspond to the one specified on the module front plate.
4.3 ALIGNMENT HELP
The Digital part submenu of the Alignment help menu has the Multiplexer loops option that
allows a data loop in the ports of the multiplexer to be carried out, see FIGURE 13.
The programming of a data loop in a port is carried out by selecting the CheckBox
associated with the same port and then, pressing the PROGRAM CommandButton. When
a loop is carried out, the port input data returns at input/output level to its original source,
whilst the data received from line is sent back to the line. In order to de-activate the data
loop the corresponding CheckBox must be de-selected and then, the PROGRAM
CommandButton must be pressed.
When a data loop is carried out, in the corresponding DMPU and/or TMPU module, the
amber LEDs associated with the port light up alternately at a cadence of 0.5 s/0.5 s. In the
case of the ports integrated in the OPU-1 terminal, the LED LOOP associated with the port
lights up on the front plate of the MQPU module.
