ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8) Introduction
1 Introduction
The ISBUT (ISDN Basic access U interface 4B3T) is an ISDN BA unit used
in the following applications:
 V5.x applications where the access to the ISDN exchange is established
via V5.1 or V5.2 interfaces or
 "Festverbindung" where an ISBUT user port interworks over a leased line
network with a remote ISDN user port.
The unit has eight U interfaces using 4B3T coding. Each U interface features
remote-power feeding for the NT1, the NT64K and one repeater.
The ISBUT is designed as a UBUS unit. You can use the ISBUT in the FOX-
U/M, the FOX-U and the FOX515.
The ISBUT uses one slot in the FOX -U/M(E)/ AND FOX-U/515 subrack. It
has been specially designed for V5.x and "Festverbindung" applications.
The ISBUT does not support interoperation with the EXBAT unit.
The ISBUT 110 is supported from the UCST R4C and any newer versions.
The ISBUT 110 is referred to as the ISBUT in this document.
The term Festverbindung is usually called Digital Leased Line mode in
this document.
This document covers both the V5 and the Digital Leased Line mode of
operation. Some chapters are specific for one of those modes. You should
read the "general information" chapters and the mode specific chapters ac-
cording to your intended use of the ISBUT.

Architectural Description ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8)
Description of the Block The ISBUT is implemented with the following blocks:
Diagram
 Over Voltage Protection
This block provides protection against lightning surges (with external gas
discharge tubes) and ESD.
 Hybrid
The hybrid converts the 2-wire U interface into a 4-wire interface with
separated transmit and receive paths.
The hybrid circuit consists of a passive network and a transformer for ad-
aptation of the impedance. The remote power supply for the remote NT1
is fed to the line side of the transformer.
 Line Driver
This block offers the following functions:
 U interface
 Echo cancelling
 Switching of test loop 1
For the duplex transmission of data to the NT1 via the U interface, the
signal is encoded with 4B3T code. The line bit rate of 160 kbit/s contains
two B channels of 64 kbit/s each, a D channel of 16 kbit/s and a mainte-
nance M channel of 16 kbit/s used to transmit frame synchronisation in-
formation and loop activation commands.
The echoes generated on the transmission path are compensated by the
echo cancelling procedure and adaptation to the line impedance.
To carry out a function test, the loopback 1 activated by the Element
Manager can be inserted in this line driver block. This loops the 2B+D
channels back to the transmission network (backplane).
 Current limiting
In this block the supply current for the NT1 (individually for each line) is
monitored and limited. If this value is exceeded, the block sends the sig-
nal «Current limit» to the microcontroller, which cuts off remote power for
this channel. At regular intervals, the microcontroller applies remote
power again. If the excessive current drops, the remote power supply re-
mains on.
 Data transfer and UBUS Interface blocks
The data transfer block builds up the two B and the D channels of each
SbU for the UBUS interface. In V5 mode of operation, this block proc-
esses the D channel of all eight SbUs into the IC channel.
In this block the incoming data from both B-channels are buffered and in-
serted into the selected time slots (per subscriber).
In the reverse direction, the signal is extracted from the PCM frame and
transmitted to the Line Driver block via the Data Transfer block.
This block also does the Scrambling/Descrambling and the AIS detection
function.
 Microcontroller with memory and peripheral logic
The microcontroller initialises all the complex integrated circuits of the
unit. It controls the UBUS interface block, which connects the appropriate
time slots from the highways via the data transfer block to the line driver.
In the line driver block, the microcontroller controls the activation of ISDN
BA layer 1 and the maintenance functions (test loop and error counters).

ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8) Architectural Description
The microcontroller runs the local, card specific software stored in the lo-
cal FLASH EPROM. This SW can be downloaded from the
UCST/FOXMAN-UN if the ISBUT is operated in the FOX515.
The channels are cyclically scanned to monitor their alarm status. Any
transmission alarm messages are passed on to the central control cards
CENCA/COBU<x>. Simultaneously the lower red "traffic" LED on the
front panel is switched on.
The ISBUT communicates with the CENCA / COBU<x> via the C-LAN
interface and control signal lines. Configuration data is exchanged and
the alarm messages are sent to the CENCA/COBU<x>.
A flash EPROM for the unit SW, the EEPROM for the inventory man-
agement data (IVM), and the RAM for the unit's configuration data are
also part of the microprocessor block.
 DC/DC power converter for remote powering
An integrated DC/DC converter supplies the power for the NT1 units. The
remote supply’s voltage is symmetrically fed to the 2 wires of the U inter-
face.
The remote powering derives directly from the battery. The DC/DC con-
verter electrically isolates the remote power supply from the battery and
produces a balanced ±48V supply.
In the FOX-U subrack the power for the converter is provided via
the UF connection point at the back of the subrack.

units.
V5 specific guidelines for
commissioning and operation
Configuration Cross connect the IC-channel directly after creating the cross connection of
the eight user ports.
Synchronisation Synchronise the NE with the ISBUT to the V5 exchange via a dedicated 2
MHz clock signal from the exchange, or via a 2 Mbit/s E1signal from the
exchange.

GECOD if the GECOD interworks directly with a PCM2FA.
What you should do if you If you update the Least Line Submode of an ISBUT which runs already in a
encounter many alarms or Digital Leased Line application then it may happen that there are a lot of
unwanted test loops on an alarms showing on or any loopbacks are unintendently activated.
ISBUT
This misbehaviour is caused since during the reconfiguration process one of
the both ISBUTs receives undefined information in the D-channel because
the second ISBUT is not updated yet.
The same behaviour, a lot of alarms or unwanted loops, is produced if you
cross connect a B-channel with a D-channel.
How to avoid that situation If you have to change the Least Line Submode of an already running ISBUT
application then
 Delete the Cross-Connections to the appropriate ISBUT unnits in both
nodes.
 Update the ISBUT configuration, e.g. the Least Line Submode.
 Create the Cross-Connections in both NEs

ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8) V5: Configuration and Operation
5 V5: Configuration and Operation

You should read this chapter only if you intend to use the ISBUT
within a V5 application. For Digital Leased Line (or "Festver-
bindung") applications please read the next chapter Digital
Leased Line: Configuration and Operation!
The ISBUT is automatically initialised on power up or when the unit is
plugged into the subrack. The unit obtains its configuration data from the
COBU<x> or CENCA.
Network connections with the CENCA and cross connections with the
COBU<x> based NEs, the assignment of the channels to the TSs of a
transmission link are established as described in and FOX515 Technical
Description.
Defining the Units

Configuration of the ISBUT in To determine the slot designation of the various units you should use the
FOX515 generic templates for system design provided in the chapter "Implementation
and Application Notes" of FOX515 Technical Description.
To configure the ISBUT in the UCST/FOXMAN-UN double-click on the de-
sired slot and select ISBUT110.cdu from the list.
The unit description "V5ISDN-BA4B3T" tells you that the ISBUT is the ISDN
linecard with the 4B3T linecode.
The template below shows a recommended example for a fully equipped
FOX515 subrack for ISDN.

V5: Configuration and Operation ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8)
Figure 6: Fully equipped FOX515 subrack for ISDN

Configuration of the ISBUT in The label on the unit front panel conforms to the FOX515 labelling concept
the FOX -U/M/-U as described in FOX515 Technical Description in chapter "Operation and
Maintenance".
Due to this, the corresponding UCST template (*.cdu) can NOT be read from
the label as you normally can with UBUS units.
The UCST template (.cdu) corresponding to the installed unit defines the
range of functions. Therefore, see also the release notes. The .cdu defines
the unit SW that must be installed on the ISBUT.
In a FOX-U/M(E)/-U you cannot download the unit SW by the
UCST/FOXMAN-UN (SW download is NOT supported in FOX-U/M(E)/-U).
Therefore, all ISBUTs delivered are commissioned with the unit SW when
they leave ABB. The installed SW version is indicated on a label on the
ISBUT PBA or can be read out by the Inventory function of the
UCST/FOXMAN-UN.
If you have to change the SW for any reason then you must configure the
ISBUT in a FOX515 and deliver/install the unit SW for the unit. The SW re-
mains resident on the ISBUT even if it is unpowered and/or you move the
unit to a FOX-U/M(E)/-U.
You may also use the copy-PROM procedure as described in the para-
graphs on Unit SW installation at the end of this chapter.
Please note that you eventually have to convert the unit in the
UCST if you want to modify the SW.
Setting the User Port Pa- This section will guide you through all the steps necessary to configure the
rameters ISBUT for the V5.x mode of operation.
The User Port parameters are settable individually for all eight
User Ports.
You can have a mixed configuration of V5 and Digital Leased Line
User Ports on the same ISBUT.
The ISBUT has the same configuration for V5.1 and V5.2 configu-
ration. Therefore, you don't have to distinguish between these two
application modes when you configure the ISBUT.
Double click on an ISBUT unit to open the Unit Configuration Parameters

Dialogue for the selected ISBUT.

 Name
Default entries are "User Port-<x>". You can edit these names up to a
maximum of 16 characters. E.g. enter the MDF connection point or the
subscriber's telephone number.
This entry is not mandatory but helps to keep clarity for the commission-
ing.
 State
Disable the SbUs that have no connection to NT1's. If a SbU is disabled it
will not appear in the Cross-Connection mask.
The power feeding is switched off if a subscriber is disabled.
 Power Feed
The ISBUT provides remote power feeding for one regenerator, the NT1,
and a restricted mode of power feeding at the S interface.
The power feeding is also active if a subscriber has no cross-connections
or if no NT is connected to the line.
The power feeding is independent of the status of the BA. Even if the
subscriber is locked, the power feeding remains active.
 Mode of Operation

rameters
There is only one parameter related to the IC channel: You can enable or
disable the IC channel.
You must have the IC-channel enabled if at least one user port is
configured in the V5 mode of operation.

If your current ISBUT configuration has no V5 user ports and you

enable a first V5 user port then the ISBUT also asks you to enable
the IC-channel:
Description of the IC- What is an IC-channel? (FOX specific)

channel
The IC-channel is a FOX internal communication channel between the
ISBUT or ISBUQ and the PCON<x> or IPSMG. It is a 64 kbit/s timeslot car-
rying the Ds (ISDN signalling protocol), the p-data and the f-data.
All IC-channels of all ISBUTs belonging to one V5.x interface are mapped on
PCON<x> into one, two or three communication paths (c-path). On IPSMG
the IC-channel signalling is bridged to the softswitch.
Each ISBUT has its own IC-channel.
All subscribers on one ISBUT share one IC-channel.
Description of Activation The activation of the U interface is a procedure to initialise the U interface for
and deactivation proce- Layer 1 for transparent full duplex data transmission on the 2-wire line. This
dures includes the recognition of the synchronisation pattern, as well as stable
running of the adaptive echo canceller. This procedure is initiated either by
the NT1 or by the LE (V5 Exchange).
Coldstart activation (after power up) takes up to 1,5 seconds maximum.
Warmstart activation (after normal deactivation) takes up to 420 ms maxi-
mum. These times are valid only if no regenerator is in use.
Note: With ISBUT there is no DS Permanent Activation functionality such
as that available with the ISBUQ 130.
The deactivation of the U interface is an orderly disconnection procedure to
permit the NT1 and any regenerators to be returned to a low power con-
sumption mode and reduce intrasystem crosstalk to other systems. This pro-
cedure is initiated only by the LE.
Activation by the NT1:
If the NT1 initiates the activation (originating call) then after the "wake up" of
the U interface the connections are activated but only become transparent if
synchronised and if the appropriate command is sent by the NT1.
Activation of the U interface is not possible if the NT1 has no TE (ISDN Ter-
minal) connected to its S interface.
Activation by the LE:
If the LE initiates the activation (terminating call) then the ISBUT sends its
"wake up" via the U interface to the NT1. After synchronisation of the NT1,
the U interface is active and transparent.
Activation of the U interface is not possible if:
 the NT1 has no TE (ISDN Terminal) connected to its S interface, or
 the U interface is not terminated on a NT1.

Deactivation by the LE:

Deactivation is always initiated by the LE.
The following fault conditions at the LE or at the NT1 side causes a deactiva-
tion of the U interface:
 LFA (Loss of Frame Alignment)
 LOS (Loss of Signal)
 Loss of remote power at NT1 (results in an LFA/LOS).
Status functions
Terminology of "lock" and
"shutdown" User ports of a V5 interface, which is not in service, are set to the
state unlocked/disabled and remain in this state independently of
failure or management conditions.
Therefore, the user port states on the PCON<x> or IPSMG and on
the linecards may diverge if the V5 interface on PCON<x> or the
media gateway on IPSMG is not in service.
"Lock" and "Shutdown" are operator requests to block ports generated via
the UCST/FOXMAN-UN and sent from the AN to the LE (V5 Exchange).
 Immediate port blocking via the "Lock" request is used for urgent port
maintenance or in the case of failures or unacceptable error perform-
ance.
 Deferred port blocking via the "Shutdown" request is used for non-
urgent port maintenance. The LE waits until an ongoing call is termi-
nated before putting the port into the blocked state.
Port blocking is used during start-up, for user port maintenance, and in the
case of failures. When a port is blocked, originating calls are no longer pos-
sible and terminating calls are treated by the LE (V5 Exchange) as if the port
was out of service (according to the national protocol).
A "blocked" port is deactivated unless its type of service requires permanent
activation.
You need to co-ordinate the unblocking ports at both sides. The LE puts the
port into the operational state when it accepts an unblocking request from
UCST.
The LE can "disable" ports or properly speaking logically disconnects the
subscribers from the exchange due to various reasons such as:
 AN fault
 Blocking by the LE because of excessive error rate, fault, or for man-
agement reasons.
Some explanations about administrative and operational state according to

ETS 300 376-1, Annex A:
 The “locked” / “enabled” state means that the port has been locked by
the management system of the AN and that there are no local fault
conditions.
 In the “locked” state the operational state attribute reflects AN internal
failures, i.e. “enabled” means no AN fault and “disabled” means AN
fault regardless of any knowledge about the LE side.

 However, in the “unlocked” state the operational state attribute is

changed from “enabled” to “disabled” due to AN fault or blocking by
the LE.
The use of administrative and operational state combinations can be
seen as a means to report as much detail as possible about the user port
status. Thus, a user port can be in the following different states:
“locked” / “disabled”
“locked” / “enabled”
“shutting down”
“unlocked” / “disabled”
“unlocked” / “enabled”
whereas only the user ports in the states “unlocked” / “enabled” are really
unblocked on the V5 interface. In all the other states, the associated user
port is either blocked or considered as blocked.
Administrative Operational Cause / Meaning

State State
(AN forced) (LE forced)
Locked Disabled The User Port is blocked by LE due to a request by UCST
and there are faults in the AN
Locked Enabled Port is blocked by LE due to a request by UCST and there
are no faults in the AN
Shutting down ---- Port will be blocked by LE whenever the ongoing call is
terminated due to a request by UCST
Unlocked Disabled Port is blocked by LE because of excessive error rates,
fault, LE management reasons, or faults in the AN
Unlocked Enabled Port is operational on the V5 interface.

Displaying Status/Maintenance Select an ISBUT unit and select Unit Configuration 

(V5 specific) Status/Maintenance... to open the Status/Maintenance Dialogue.
Figure 10: Status/Maintenance Dialogue
 SbU Name:
Here appears the subscriber's name you defined in the Parameter menu.
 State:
Possible states are: Enabled; not enabled.
This shows the status you defined previously in the Parameter section.
 Activation State:
Possible states are: deactivated; BA activated; DS activated.
Shows deactivated if the whole Basic Access is deactivated.
Shows BA activated if the whole Basic Access is activated.
Shows DS activated if the Digital Section is activated.
 Administrative State:
Possible states are: unlocked; locked; shutting down.
This shows the NE state of a subscriber. The NE state is the state influ-
enced by the NE itself and not by the exchange.
The ISBUT can ask the exchange to lock selected subscribers for main-
tenance or other purposes. This is done via the [Shutdown] button in this
mask. The actual state of the specific subscriber is displayed in the ad-
ministrative state.

 Operational state:
Possible states are: enabled; disabled.
This shows the state as defined and forced from the exchange.
 Mode of Operation:
Possible states are: V5; Digital Leased Line.
Here appears the mode of operation you defined in the Parameter menu.
Buttons in the status dialogue On the right side of the Status/Maintenance dialogue, you'll find several but-
tons. Select a subscriber to activate the buttons.
 [Get...]:
If you click on this button, the EM requests an update of the status field
from the NE. If you are no longer connected, it automatically establishes
a connection to the NE.
 [Shutdown]:
This button allows you to initiate a controlled shutdown of a selected
subscriber. The AN asks the LE to block a subscriber and as soon as the
LE gives the permission, the NE locks the subscriber. That means it is
always the responsibility of the LE to lock a subscriber. If a subscriber is
off-hook and you request a shutdown then the status message shutting
down is shown until the LE permits the locking of the subscriber.
 [Lock]:
If you lock a selected subscriber then the subscriber will be locked im-
mediately even if the subscriber is off-hook. The LE is not asked first.
Locking a port causes on going calls to be interrupted.
 [Unlock]:
The UCST can ask to bring a subscriber previously locked back to normal
mode of operation.
 [BA Status ...]:
See paragraphs Displaying the BA status.
 [Quick Tests ...]:
This button allows you to run a quick loopback or an activation test to
check the BA.
For further details please refer to the section "Diagnostics and Mainte-
nance" in this document.
 [Loopbacks ...]:
This button allows you to set a loop either in the ISBUT, the repeater(s)
or the NT1.
 [Status Cmd ...]:
This button opens a status window for the remote power feeding.

The user port must be locked first before you can run quick tests or
apply loopbacks.
If not locked, the following dialogue appears:
You have first to stop a running performance test if you want to use
the Quick tests on a specific user port.
Quick Test: Quick Loopback The Quick Loopback Test verifies the digital section between the AN and the
Test NT1 by checking whether it is possible to engage and release the NT1 loop-
back (loopback 2).
Open the Status/Maintenance dialogue and push the [Quick Test ...] button.
The following dialogue appears:
Figure 12: Quick Tests dialogue for Quick Loopback Test

The result is not shown automatically. You have to press the [Get]
button to display the test result.
The possible test results are: running, pass; fail
Quick Test: Activation Test The Activation Test verifies the basic access between the AN and the TE.
The BA is considered as faultless if the AN management can activate the DS
and the TE.
Open the Status/Maintenance dialogue and press the [Quick Test ...] but-
ton. The same dialogue as with the Quick Loopback Test appears. Use the
Test Selection to select the Activation test:

latest test result.
To start a new test press the [Start Test] button. The test lasts about 5 s (av-
erage time) but may also last up to 15 s.
The possible test results are: running, pass; fail
Loopbacks ... The Loopback... dialogue allows you to set a loopback either in the ISBUT
itself, in the repeater or in the NT1.
Open the Status/Maintenance dialogue and click on the [Loopbacks ...] but-
ton. The following dialogue appears:
Figure 14: Loopbacks dialogue
The colours of the switch-boxes have the following meaning:

yellow: Switch is undefined since no [Get] has been applied
green: The loopback is not active
red: The loopback is active

The loopbacks loop the signal as follows:

 Loop 1
Loops the U interface on the ISBUT from the exchange back to the ex-
change.
 Loop 1A
Loops the U interface at the subscriber side of the repeater back to the
exchange. With the 4B3T line code only one repeater is possible.
 Loop 2
Loops the 2 B and D channels in the NT1 back to the exchange.
To activate / de-activate the Mark / unmark the loopback to be activated / deactivated.

loopbacks
Press [Set] to send the loopback activate / de-activate command to the user
port.
Loopback information Active loopbacks appear with red switch-boxes after you press [GET].
You can have only one loopback active at a time. Before a loop-
back becomes active, you must first de-activate any existing active
loopback.
Active loopbacks are alarmed and indicated via the lower LED on
the front panel.
Loopbacks are not treated as a configuration parameter, and are
thus not stored in the configuration. They are permanent until you
de-activate them. A power reset of the ISBUT unit (by ISBUT ex-
traction and insertion or subrack power down) automatically de-
activates all loops.
To display active loopbacks Press the [Get] button.

Performance test With the Performance Test you can determine the quality of a Digital Sec-
tion. The test sends a bit pattern according to O.152 towards the NT or the
repeater. Since the loopback either in the NT or the repeater mirrors the bit-
pattern back to the pattern test equipment located on the ISBUT it is possi-
ble to count the bit errors during a specific time.

The Performance Test may be executed with loopbacks 1, 1A and 2. (The

test with loopback 1 is not that useful since it is within the unit).
You must specify the loopback location and the test duration prior to starting
the test.
A user port must be locked first before you can run a Performance
Test.
You can run a performance test on one subscriber only at a time.
The result shows the bit-error count divided by the total number of sent bits.
The total amount of sent bits is 128kbit/s x time.
To check the Performance test set-up you can apply an artificial bit-error in-
sertion. This function inserts about one bit-error per second. If you enable
the bit-error insertion and leave the test running e.g. for one minute then the
result will be (for a line without any additional errors):
BER = 7.8 E-6
You can calculate the number of errors within those 60 seconds as follows:
7.8 E-6 [errors/bit]  60[s]  128'000[bit/s] = 60 [errors]
How to run a Performance Test  Open the Status/Maintenance dialogue and select your user port.
 Then click on the [Loopbacks...] button.
 Press the [Get] button to activate the dialogue.
 Select your loopback, e.g. loopback 2.
 Press the [Set] button. To check the actual status press the [Get] button
again.
 To enable the performance test button press the [Get] button again
 Press on the Performance Test [Test...] button.

Figure 16: Performance Loopback Test dialogue
 Press [Get] to activate the dialogue.

The Location shows you the location of the active loopback. (Don't
mind about the entry "Far End", it has no meaning).
The Test State displays the actual state of the test. It can be running,
idle or test aborted.
The Test Result displays the last available result. An optimum sub-
scriber line has zero bit-errors (BER: 0 E0). If the result is worse than
zero bit-errors then you must decide whether to use the line or not.
Settings:
Here you can set the Duration of a test. The default value is one min-
ute. The possible values are:
If you want to insert artificial errors then activate the box Insert Error (1
-1
s ). This inserts one error per second.
 Press [Start Test] to start the Performance Test.
With the EXBAT and SUBAT units as repeaters this performance
test may fail since EXBAT/SUBAT transfers the two B-channels
separately as 2 x 64 kbit/s and not as 128 kbit/s.

How to stop a Performance The Performance Test stops automatically as soon as the Duration time
Test defined in the Settings dialogue elapses.
You can also interrupt a Performance Test at any time with the [Stop Test]
button. The Test Status will then be test aborted.
Status Command With the Status Command button you can check the status of the remote
power feeding for the selected V5 subscriber. You also can change the
status for maintenance needs.
Select your subscriber and then press the [Status Cmd...] button. The follow-
ing dialogue appears:
If you want to change the remote power feeding for maintenance purpose
then you can click on the  box and press the [Set] button.
This changes the power feeding just for maintenance purpose. It
does not modify the configuration. Therefore, as soon as you
download the configuration the former power feeding mode takes
over again.
As soon as you modify the Power Feeding status in this dialogue
the ISBUT activates the alarm Maintenance Act for this specific
subscriber.
If you switch off the remote power then the service will be out of
order.
You will reset the NT1 if you remove the remote power feeding.


ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8) Digital Leased Line: Configuration and Operation
6 Digital Leased Line: Configuration and

Operation
You should read this chapter only if you intend to use the ISBUT
within a Digital Leased Line (or "Festverbindung") application. For
V5 applications please read the former chapter V5: Configuration
and Operation!
The ISBUT is automatically initialised on power up or when the unit is
plugged into the subrack. The unit obtains its configuration data from the
COBU<x> or CENCA.
Network connections with the CENCA and cross connections with the
COBU<x> based NEs, the assignment of the channels to the TSs of a
transmission link are established as described in and FOX515 Technical
Description.
Defining the Units

Configuration of the ISBUT in To determine the slot designation of the various units you should use the
FOX515 generic templates for system design provided in the chapter "Implementation
and Application Notes" of FOX515 Technical Description.
To configure the ISBUT in the UCST/FOXMAN-UN double-click on the ap-
propriate slot and select ISBUT110.cdu from the list.
The unit description "V5ISDN-BA4B3T" tells you that the ISBUT is the ISDN
linecard with the 4B3T linecode.
The template below shows a recommended example for a fully equipped
FOX515 subrack for ISDN.

Digital Leased Line: Configuration and Operation ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8)
Figure 17: Fully equipped FOX515 subrack for ISDN

Configuration of the ISBUT in The label on the unit front panel conforms to the FOX515 labelling concept
the FOX -U/M/-U as described in FOX515 Technical Description in chapter "Operation and
Maintenance".
Due to this, the corresponding UCST template (*.cdu) can NOT be read from
the label as you normally can with UBUS units.
The UCST template (.cdu) corresponding to the installed unit defines the
range of functions. Therefore see also the release notes. The .cdu defines
the unit SW that must be installed on the ISBUT.
In a FOX-U/M(E)/-U you cannot download the ESW using the
UCST/FOXMAN-UN (SW download is NOT supported in the FOX-U/M(E)/-
U). Therefore all ISBUTs delivered are commissioned with the unit SW when
they leave ABB. The installed SW version is indicated on a label on the
ISBUT PBA or can be read through the Inventory function of the
UCST/FOXMAN-UN.
If you have to change the SW for any reason then you must configure the
ISBUT in a FOX515 and deliver/install the unit SW for the unit. The SW re-
mains resident on the ISBUT even if it is unpowered and/or you move the
unit to a FOX-U/M(E)/-U.
You may also use the copy-PROM procedure as described in the para-
graphs on Unit SW installation at the end of this chapter.
Please note that you eventually have to convert the unit in the
UCST if you want to modify the SW.
Setting the User Port Pa- This section will guide you through all the steps necessary to configure the
rameters ISBUT for the Digital Leased Line mode of operation.
The User Port parameters are settable individually for all eight
User Ports.
You can have a mixed configuration of V5 and Digital Leased Line
User Ports for on the same ISBUT.
Double click on an ISBUT unit to open the Unit Configuration Parameters
Dialogue for the selected ISBUT.
Select the Mode of Operation "Digital Leased Line" for the required sub-
scribers.

Digital Leased Line application
Figure 19: 2nd part of the Unit Configuration Parameters Dialogue for
Digital Leased Line application

 Name
Default entries are "User Port-<x>". You can edit these names up to a
maximum of 16 characters. Enter e.g. the MDF connection point or the
subscriber's telephone number.
This entry is not mandatory but helps to keep clarity for the commission-
ing.
 State
Disable the SbUs that have no connection to NT1s. If a SbU is disabled it
will not appear in the Cross-Connection mask.
The power feeding is switched off if a subscriber is disabled.
 Power Feed
The ISBUT provides remote power feeding for one regenerator, the NT1,
and a restricted mode of power feeding at the S interface.
The power feeding is also active if a subscriber has no cross-connections
or if no NT is connected to the line.
The power feeding is independent of the status of the BA. Even if the
subscriber is deactivated, the power feeding remains active.
 Mode of Operation
Here you have to select either V5 or Digital leased line. Select Digital
Leased line for "Festverbindung" applications.
 Leased Line Submode
In this mask you define the requested leased Line mode and the trans-
mission capacity:
UCST selection Mode of Digital Leased Line Transmission bitra-

te
B1 + B2 + D* Standard-Festverbindung Digital 192 kbit/s

S02/TS02
B1 + D* Standard-Festverbindung Digital 128 kbit/s
S01/TS01
B1 + B2 Standard-Festverbindung Digital 64U 128 kbit/s
Standard-Festverbindung Digital 64S2 128 kbit/s
B1 only Standard-Festverbindung Digital 64U 64 kbit/s
Standard-Festverbindung Digital 64S 64 kbit/s
 Leased Line Activation

Here you select the mode of the activation of the DS:
Permanent:
As soon as you download a configuration to the FOX, the ISBUT tries to
establish an activation of the whole leased line.
If the activation attempt is not successful then the ISBUT tries to activate
the leased line permanently until it is successful.
The FOX signals the alarm ISDN layer 1 if after 16 s it can't establish the
activation of the leased line.

On Request:
The leased line remains deactivated until you start the activation with the
UCST/FOXMAN-UN. If you start this procedure then the ISBUT makes
one attempt to activate the line.
If this activation procedure is not successful, then the FOX generates an
alarm ISDN layer 1. This alarm disappears if you manually deactivate the
activation process via the UCST / FOXMAN-UN.
The TE can also activate the leased line.
 Scrambling
Here you can enable or disable the scrambling function.
The scrambling procedure prevents the B1 and the B2 channels from car-
rying all logical "1" information.
If you enable the scrambling function you can configure another parame-
ter: AIS detection.
 AIS Detection
AIS detection is available only if the Scrambling is enabled.
If you enable AIS detection then an alarm AIS of B- or D is generated as
soon as the ISBUT detects an AIS signal on either the B channel(s) or
the D channel.
Note:
In the "Standard-Festverbindung Digital S02/TS02" and the "Stan-
dard-Festverbindung Digital 64U" the ISBUT cannot distinguish an
AIS between the two B-channels. The alarm is set if both B1 and B2
have AIS.
The ISBUT detects the AIS in the D* channel if the service bits S1 .. S4,
the E bit and the A bit are set to "1".
As long as you are running a maintenance function (e.g. test loops or per-
formance monitoring) the AIS detection is automatically switched off.
Copying parameters It is possible to copy the parameters of any SbU to other SbUs using the
[Copy] button.
Figure 20: Copy of parameters dialogue
First, select the subscriber with the master parameters. Then select all the
subscribers which should have the same settings and press the [OK] button.

Setting the IC-channel Pa- There is only one parameter related to the IC channel: you can enable or
rameters disable the IC channel.
The IC-channel is V5 specific. If your ISBUT has all enabled subscribers
configured in the Digital Leased Line mode of operation then the UCST /
FOXMAN-UN asks you to disable the IC-channel:
If your configuration has no V5 user ports and then you enable a first V5
user port, the ISBUT also asks you to enable the IC-channel.

In the Loop Location field you can see where the loop is set. Possible
entries are:
 Empty
 Loop 1 Far End; Loop 1a Far End; Loop 2 Far End
 Loop 1 Near End; Loop 1a Near End; Loop 2 Near End
In the Loop activated by field the system tells you who activated the
loop back.
Possible entries are:
 Empty
 Near End; Far End
 Power feeding
The following power feeding states can are possible:
 operational: remote power feeding is on
 shutdown: remote power feeding is off
 Activation State
The following activation states can are possible:
 DS activated
 deactivated
 BA activated

 Digital Leased Line

This dialogue tells you if the Scrambling and the AIS detection parame-
ters are enabled or disabled.
Loopbacks ... The Loopback... dialogue allows you to set loopbacks either
 in the near end
 in the far end
of the Digital Leased Line network.
You can set the far end loopbacks only if you have the D* channel
configured for that specific user port.
You can have only one active loopback per Digital Leased Line
network.
If you have an active loopback and you want to activate another
loopback you must disable the first loopback before activating the
second loopback.
If you set a loopback then the Scrambling function is automatically
switched off until the loopback is switched off again.
Active loopbacks are alarmed (Maintenance Act.) and indicated via
the lower red LED on the front panel.
Loopbacks are not treated as a configuration parameter, and are
thus not stored in the configuration. They are permanent until you
de-activate them. A power reset of the ISBUT unit (by ISBUT ex-
traction and insertion or subrack power down) automatically de-
activates all loops.
If a loopback was initiated by the far end equipment then the ISBUT displays
the notification "Loop under control by far end" in the loopbacks dialogue
(detail only shown below):
You cannot clear a loopback which is under the control of the far
end.
If the near end has an active loopback and the far end equipment sends the
request to activate a second loopback then the first loopback remains active
and the second loopback is suppressed.
If the far end equipment is a PCM2FA then this equipment continuously
sends the loopback request. As soon as the near end ISBUT removes its

first loopback, the second loopback initiated from the PCM2FA will take
place.
Open the Status/Maintenance dialogue and click on the [Loopbacks ...] but-
ton.
The dialogue of the Loopbacks in the UCST / FOXMAN-UN depends of the
mode of operation of the user port.
Figure 24: Loopbacks dialogue for user ports with the D* channel:
Figure 25: Loopbacks dialogue for user ports without the D* channel:
The colours of the switch-boxes have the following meaning:

yellow: Switch is undefined since no [Get] has been applied
green: The loopback is not active
red: The loopback is active
The loopbacks loop the signal as follows:
 Loop 1
Loops the U interface in the LT.

 Loop 1A
Loops the U interface at the subscriber side of the repeater back to the
LT. With the line code 4B3T only one repeater is allowed.
 Loop 2
Loops the 2 B and D channels in the NT1 back to the LT.

Performance test With the Performance Test you can determine the quality of a Digital Sec-
tion. The test sends a bit pattern according to O.152 towards the NT or the
repeater. Since the loopback in either the TE, the NT or the repeater mirrors
the bit-pattern back to the pattern test equipment located on the ISBUT it is
possible to count the bit errors during a specific time.

You need to have a loopback to run a performance test. This loopback may
be located either in the near or the far end.
With some equipment like the NT64K you can apply a loopback at the
NT64K itself without the control of the UCST / FOXMAN-UN. In this case you
can also run the performance loopback test.

To check for an existing loopback e.g. in the NT64K you enable an

artificial error insertion in the Performance Loopback Test dialogue.
If the test result remains "BER: 0 E 0" then no loopback is set in
the NT64K.
You must specify the loopback location and the test duration before starting
the test.
You can run a performance test on one subscriber per ISBUT only
at a time.
You must ensure that the subscriber port is activated before run-
ning a PM test.
Running PM on a deactivated port leads to wrong PM results.
The result shows the bit-error count divided by the total number of sent bits.
The total amount of sent bits is 128kbit/s x time.
To check the Performance test set-up you can apply an artificial bit-error in-
sertion. This function inserts about one bit-error per second. If you enable
the bit-error insertion and leave the test running e.g. for one minute then the
result will be (for a line without any additional errors):
BER = 7.8 E-6
You can calculate the number of errors within those 60 seconds as follows:
7.8 E-6 [errors/bit]  60[s]  128'000[bit/s] = 60 [errors]
How to run a Performance Test  Open the Status/Maintenance dialogue and select your user port.

 Press [Start Test] to start the Performance Test.
You can run a performance test with a loopback initiated by the far
end equipment.
Be careful that you don't disturb any ongoing far end maintenance
tests.
You can run a performance test with an external loopback not con-
trolled by the UCST / FOXMAN-UN. As an example the NT64K
may have its own locally settable loopbacks.
With the EXBAT and SUBAT units as repeater this performance
test may fail since EXBAT/SUBAT transfers the two B-channels
separately as 2 x 64 kbit/s and not as 128 kbit/s.
How to stop a Performance The Performance Test stops automatically as soon as the Duration time
Test defined in the Settings dialogue elapses.
You can also interrupt a Performance Test at any time with the [Stop Test]
button. The Test Status will then be test aborted.

Board alarms Figure 28: Alarm Configuration dialogue for the Board level
 Hardware fault
This alarm is generated if the configuration applied by the EM does not fit
the HW installed in the subrack e.g. if the UCST template and the in-
stalled unit SW don't match.
 Check and correct the configuration of the ISBUT. Also check the
correct delivery and installation of the unit SW.

Alarm and Log Text ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8)
 If not successful then replace the ISBUT.

 Power sup. fault
This alarm occurs if the remote power supply fails. The internal DC/DC
converter on the ISBUT which provides remote powering of the NT1 is
faulty, overloaded or operating out of specification.
 Change the ISBUT.
It also could be that there is not sufficient power from the battery source
for the load required by all the U interfaces.
 Check the power supply of the subrack.
 IC-chan fault
This alarm is specific for V5 and the H.248/MEGACO application. If you
have all the subscribers of an ISBUT configured in the Digital Leased
Line mode of operation and this alarm appears then you should disable
the IC-channel of that ISBUT.
This alarm occurs if the layer 2 of the internal communication channel be-
tween the ISBUT and PCON<x> or IPSMG could not be established. This
error message is always on if the ISBUT does not have any cross con-
nections towards the PCON<x> or IPSMG.
 Check if the crossconnections are made properly. If the ISBUT is in
another network element, check the wiring and the configuration
of the connections.
User Port alarms You can define the User Port alarm settings individually for all eight sub-
scribers. To set the alarms select user-port <x> or All in the Alarm Configu-
ration dialogue.
Figure 29: Alarm Configuration dialogue for the User Port level
 Hardware fault

This alarm shows that a subscriber line interface on the ISBUT is out of
order.
 Change the ISBUT.
 Power feeding
This alarm indicates any faulty conditions on the U interface. Maybe the
wiring of the U interface has a short circuit.
 Check the wiring of the U interface for short circuits. If this is not
successful change the NT1.
 LOS/LFA in DS
(Loss Of Signal / Loss of Frame Alignment in Digital Section)
This alarm is generated if the DS or the whole BA has been activated and
then deactivated. The deactivation occurred due to a LOS/LFA in the DS.
 Check the U interface wiring or the NT1.
 LOS/LFA in T
(Loss Of Signal / Loss of Frame Alignment in Terminal)
This alarm is generated if the BA has been activated but a LOS/LFA oc-
curred in the terminal.
 Check if the terminal (phone) is connected correctly to the NT1.
 ISDN layer 1
This alarm is generated if it is not possible to activate the DS. Normally
this error occurs after the LOS/LFA in DS error has been on.
 Check the U interface wiring or the NT1.
 Remote alarm
This alarm is generated by the ISBUT if the far end equipment activates
the Remote alarm indication bit (bit 3) in the D* channel.
 Check the far end equipment.
 AIS of B- or D
This alarm is generated if the ISBUT detects an AIS state in either one of
the B-channels or the D* channel.
In the "Standard-Festverbindung Digital S02/TS02" and the "Stan-
dard-Festverbindung Digital 64U" the ISBUT cannot distinguish an
AIS between the two B-channels. The alarm is set if both B1 and
B2 have AIS.
The ISBUT detects the AIS in the D* channel if the service bits S1
.. S4, the E bit and the A bit are set to "1".
As long as you are running a maintenance function (e.g. test loops
or performance monitoring) the AIS detection is automatically
switched off.
 Check the far end equipment, the wiring and the transmission
network.
 Maintenance Act
This alarm is generated if the ISBUT is running any maintenance actions
e.g. a loopback on at least one subscriber.

 Check the configuration of the ISBUT for any unwanted

maintenance actions.
The following alarms are generated only if the user port is in the Digital
Leased Line mode of operation with Permanent Leased Line Activation.
The timers and default values used to calculate the performance are fixed.
You cannot modify them.
 Unacpt Perf Near
Unacceptable performance on U Interface at the near end.
This alarm is generated if the number of errored seconds (ES) or the
number of severely errored seconds (SES), counted in the time interval
T1, crosses the set threshold for unacceptable performance.
The alarm is cleared if the number of (ES) or the number of (SES),
counted in the time interval T1, crosses the reset threshold for unaccept-
able performance.
When the user port is configured as DS Permanent Activation enabled,
the performance is evaluated according to G.826. The default values are:
T1: 15 minutes, set thresholds: ES = 120, SES = 15, reset thresholds: ES
= 0, SES = 0
When the user port is configured as DS Permanent Activation disabled,
the performance is evaluated by a proprietary procedure. The default val-
ues are: T1: 1 minute, set thresholds: ES = 6 , SES = 2, reset thresholds:
ES = 3, SES = 1. The alarm is set after 10 continuous intervals T1 with
ES  6 or SES  2 and the alarm is reset after 10 continuous intervals T1
with ES  3 or SES  1.
 Check the wiring of the U interface and remove interfering signal
sources.
 Degrad Perf Near
(Degraded performance on U Interface at the near end)
This alarm is generated if the number of errored seconds (ES) or the
number of severely errored seconds (SES), counted in the time interval
T2, crosses the set threshold for degraded performance.
The alarm is cleared if the number of (ES) or the number of (SES),
counted in the time interval T2, crosses the reset threshold for degraded
performance.
The default values are: T2: 24 hours, set thresholds: ES = 2600, SES =
650, reset thresholds: ES = 0, SES = 0

ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8) Setting Cross Connections to PCONV/PCON2 or IPSMG
8 Setting Cross Connections to

PCONV/PCON2 or IPSMG
Proceed ISBUT unit by ISBUT unit.
First create the cross connections for the eight User Ports. Then
create the cross connection for the IC-channel.
Do these two steps for each ISBUQ unit after the other.
"The two highway rule" An ISBUT can only access two FOX internal UBUS highways. If you create
the cross-connections under control of the UCST then the UCST checks the
use of the UBUS highways and stops creating crossconnections as soon as
more than two highways are required. The following message appears:
What to do?
To avoid this limitation you must ensure that ISBUT uses two internal UBUS
highways only. That means you must create the connection points and cross
connections on the UBUS highways manually. This is achieved with the
UBUS Expert Mode.
If the above message appears then delete the ISBUT unit in your configura-
tion and re-add it again. You may have to configure the whole V5 ISDN part
for this ISBUT again. Then proceed with the configuration as described in
the paragraphs "UBUS Expert Mode".
UBUS Expert Mode This mode is activated if you select the box UBUS expert mode within the
Create Cross Connection dialogue.
If the UBUS expert mode box is activated the following dialogue appears af-
ter you press the [Create] button:

Setting Cross Connections to PCONV/PCON2 or IPSMG ISBUT 110 User Guide (R8)
Figure 30: Create First point dialogue
This dialogue allows you to select the highway and the timeslot for a specific
connection point. In our example, we assign the User Port-1 of ISBUT <2> to
highway 5 timeslot 1 since highway 5 has enough free timeslots. You can
see this in the column Timeslots [1..31] usage. The Timeslots marked with
an "+" are already occupied, the timeslots marked with "=" are free.
Proceed the same way with the other User Ports and for V5 applications with
the IC-channel as well.
The automatic crossconnection procedure would fill up the highway
1 and highway 2, each of which has spare timeslots for 1 ISBUT
User Port only. The cross connection for the 3rd to 8th ISBUT User
Ports and the IC channel will be assigned automatically to highway
5  the violation of the 2 highway rule!
You can check your configuration with the Bus usage tool in the
UCST / FOXMAN-UN.

Bus usage tool The Bus Usage Tool allows you to check the connection points of all the
existing cross connections of the NE.
How to check the assigned Open the NE Configuration  Bus usage... dialogue. You see in the
highways for one ISBUT UBUS folder all 16 highways. For each highway you also see the active con-
nection points. In one column (Timeslot [1..31] Usage) you have a summary
of the time slots used. TS used are marked with a "+".
In the next columns (Connection Points <x>) you can check the subscribers
assigned to the time slots.
Verify that all the TSs of one ISBUT are assigned to no more than two UBUS
highways.
The following figure shows correct ISBUT timeslot assignment
Figure 31: Correct TS assignment for ISBUT on internal Highway 5
Correct timeslot usage for the ISBUT: In the dialogue above all 17 TSs (16
plus 1) of the ISBUT are on highway number 5.
If you have to delete a Connection Point then you have to disable
the related User Port in the Unit Configuration Parameter dia-
logue. You may also delete and re-add the whole unit. It is not suf-
ficient to just delete the related crossconnection!

ISBUT in the FOX -U/M(E)/

AND FOX-U
UBUS Access for ISBUT
From UCST R4A you no longer have to set connection points prior
to setting the cross connections.
When the ISBUT is installed in a FOX-U/M(E)/-U subrack, then the corre-
sponding traffic data are provided via the 2Mbit/s ports of the MEGIF,
LECA2 or TUN<xy>. The SbUs of the ISBUT must be cross-connected to
the TSs on the 2Mbit/s port.
For V5 applications only:
The 2Mbit/s port must then be connected to a PCONV or PCON2 in a
FOX515 over a 2 Mbit/s network. The 2 Mbit/s access points are "termi-
nated" within this part of the network.
ISBUT in the FOX515 In the FOX515, connection points are automatically created at the time the
cross connections are defined. Define the cross connections for all eight
SbUs of an ISBUT unit whether they are used or not.
If you use the ISBUT within a V5 or H.248/MEGACO application please read
the following notes:
Proceed ISBUT unit by ISBUT unit.
First create the cross connections for the User Ports before you
create the cross connection for the IC-channel of the ISBUT.
Do these two steps for each ISBUT unit after the other.
 You must configure PCONV/PCON2 or IPSMG first as described in the
Users Guide for the PCONV, PCON2 or IPSMG units. In particular the
ISDN UP Access and the IC-channel must be created as described in
PCONV User Guide, PCON2 User Guide and ]359].
 You must configure the cross connection for the eight SbUs (1-8) on the
ISBUT to the PCONV/PCON2 or IPSMG using P0_nc (Nx64kbit/s) Type,
Bi-directional and without Protection.
 You must configure the cross connection for the IC-Channel on the
ISBUT to the IC-channel on the PCONV/PCON2 or IPSMG using P0
(64kbit/s) Type, Bi-directional and without Protection.

Figure 32: Example of ISBUT-PCON2 cross connections for one entire

ISBUT
 The PCONV must be configured appropriately with respect to the V5 in-

terface, V5 Link Access, and the 2 Mbit/s ports (first two ports integrated
on PCONV and any additional ports on a LOMIF). This is described in
PCONV User Guide.
 In the V5 application ensure that the FOX515 is synchronised to the V5
Exchange.
 The IPSMG must be configured appropriately for its function as
H.248/MEGACO media gateway. This is described in 359.
