1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
The Mini Quad E1 (M4E75/M4E120) plug-in card is designed for the QX-3440 series. They allow
each DS0 time slot in mini quad E1 interfaces to be interchanged and multiplexed onto a digital
network.
Continuous error checking, performance polling, and in-service diagnostics are provided through
the main controller of the QX-3440. In addition, the LEDs on the plug-in provide status indication.
It is great for intra-building E1 connections or drops from SONET/SDH network. For outside
connections where lightning protection is required please use our full Quad E1 interface card.

Frame
For the E1 line interface:
The frame format is ITU G.704. Either 2-frame, or 16-frame can be selected and the frame
structure goes with CRC setting. To use 2-frame structure, select ON for Frame and OFF for
CRC. To use 16-frame structure, select ON for Frame and ON for CRC.
In ESF frame format mode, user can choose either AT&T or ANSI facility data link protocol.
ESF & T1.403 chooses ANSI ESF data link protocol and one second performance report will be
sent to the network every second automatically. Also, ANSI and AT&T data link message is
acceptable in ANSI ESF frame format mode. However, AT&T ESF frame format mode only
accepts AT&T ESF data link protocol.
T1 supports G.802 mode, called T1 FRAME NONE mode, which can only map to T1 same mode,
or E1 port full channel map. E1 supports clear channel mode, called E1 FRAME OFF mode,
which can map to E1 same mode or DTE port (full 32-channel map).
Code
For the E1 line interface, either AMI (Alternate Mark Inverting) or HDB3 (high density bipolar of
length 3) line code format can be chosen. For the T1 line interface, either AMI (Alternate Mark
Inverting) or B8ZS (bipolar with 8 zero substitution) line code format can be chosen. Be sure
this setting matches that of the network.
RAI / YEL
CXR. 19
User’s Manual
M4E1
Remote Alarm Indication (RAI), or Yellow alarm in T1 parlance (YEL), transmits a return signal
back out to indicate loss of signal and loss of frame sync at the receiving side of the port. This
action can be turned ON or OFF.
CRC
E1 can be used in two frame or multi-frame mode. Choose CRC OFF for 2-frame, and CRC ON
for 16-frame. The cyclic redundancy check function can be turned ON or OFF. Unlike bipolar
violation, which can monitor only one span, CRC allows error monitoring through multiple spans
of DS0 lines. If CAS is enabled, a 16-frame structure is used, which is independent of the
16-frame structure for CRC. A proprietary facility data link is implemented in both modes to
facilitate remote system control and performance and statistics monitoring.
AIS
AIS, the alarm indication signal notifies the far end when one of the following conditions occurs.
One condition is when a loopback and diagnostic test are in progress. Thus customer signals
are blocked. The other is when an alarm (LOS, LOF, AIS, RAI) occur on received site. The AIS
can be sent two ways. In the framed mode, all time slots will have all ones sent but the framing
pattern will be preserved. In the unframed mode, all ones are sent for all time slots.
When all ones are sent in both directions for a given port, due to the TSI (time slot interchange)
within the QX3440, the corresponding time slots in other ports will also have all ones.
SIGNALING
The signaling setup offers two options: TRAN and CD=01. TRAN (transparent) is to make no
changes to the signaling bit. The testing device will use the same signaling bit it received for
transmission. CD=01 to make changes the C and D signaling bit. For example, if the received
signaling bit is 1011 (ABCD), choose CD=01 and the signaling bit will change to 1001.
CAS
For voice channels, the signaling information, which included such signals as on-hook, and
ringing, can be carried by two methods. One is by a completely independent channel managed
CXR. 20
User’s Manual
M4E1
by the system operator, in which case no action is needed by the local equipment (CAS is OFF).
Another is by CAS where the signaling information is carried in the same bit stream as the voice
channel. In this second method, for time slot interchange, the signaling bits must be routed along
with the voice channels to the proper destination. Thus the QX-3440 must be told, when CAS
is used, to turn the CAS option to ON.
For E1, CAS (Channel-Associated Signaling) is a method for sending signaling information
where time slot 16 of the E1 format is shared for each of 30 other time slots within the same E1.
OFF designation is for CAS disabled. For E1, when disabled, the 256N multiframe is used when
time slot 16 is available to the user. The maximum number of time slots available for payload is
31. ON designation is for CAS enabled. When enabled, the 256S multiframe is used when time
slot 16 is reserved for the transmission for end-to-end signaling using CAS. The maximum
number of times slots available for payload is then 30.
For T1, CAS when ON is where "robbed-bit signaling" takes place. This places the signaling
information, once every 6 frames, in bit 7 (least significant bit) of the associated time slot,
replacing the information bit at that location. When CAS is OFF, robbed-bit signaling will not take
place. When it’s enabled, robbed-bit signaling is permitted for voice channels. For channels
designated as DATA, robbed-bit signaling is not performed.
In all cases, QX-3440 utilizes a proprietary facility data link, FDL for E1, or in-band signaling for
T1, to achieve remote system control and performance and statistics monitoring.
INTF (Interface)
The T1 interface can be long haul or short haul. Long haul has higher powered output to drive
long lines, while short haul is more appropriate for intra-office connections. E1 interface only
display 120 Ohm twisted pair or 75 Ohm coaxial cable, which is a manufacture option set by
Jump. For detailed Jump setup, please refer to Chapter 2, Jumper Setting.
Idle Code
Any DS0 time slot, which is not assigned to a DTE port, is an idle time slot. An idle code is
transmitted on idle DS0 time slots. The idle time slot may be programmed to any bit pattern from
0x00 to 0xFF. (The prefix 0x is to indicate that hex follows.)
NOTE: Due to ones-density requirement, it is advised that idle code to be set as 0xD5 for
E1 and 0xFF for T1, which are the factory defaults. Otherwise, the idle code must be
programmed to contain at least two bits of '1'.
