1.  Introduction
H5MO-MFA is a PCM MUX equipment. It converts analog voices into 64 kbps digital signals,
and multiplexes the tributary 64kbps signals into primary rate E1 signal, to be transmitted over E1
transmission channels. It can be used to extend the reach of voice and data services from the central
office to remote user sites.
To meet the needs of different customer requirements, H5MO-MFA provides a wide range of
voice and data interface choices.
The equipment can be remotely monitored through the management software,.
The main features include:
 Maximum capacity up to 60 PCM channels per enclosure.
 Built-in cross-connect functionality.
 Supports multiple user interface types, including traditional telephone, Co-directional
64kbps data, async RS232 serial data, public telephone, hot line telephone, magneto line
interface, 2/4 wire voice, EM signaling, 10Base-T Ethernet, Nx64 kbps V.35 data
etc.
 Flexible configuration, different types of interfaces can be freely mixed in a single
shelf.
 Compact size, easy maintenance.
 1+1 Power card redundancy for high reliability.

2.  Architecture and Application


2.1 Device Architecture

2.1.1 Basic Principle


H5MO-MFA is usually configured as central office side (CO) or subscriber side (SU) units. The
CO unit connects to the telephone exchange line card, while the SU unit connects to user telephones.
The CO unit converts the voice signal from the central office exchange telephone interface into digital
PCM signal, and convert the ring voltage and other DC signaling into channel associated PCM
signaling, multiplexed into E1 signal, and transmitted to the remote, and the SU unit demultiplexes
the E1 signal into individual tributary digital signals, convert back into analog voices, and sends out to
the subscriber line leading to the user telephone set. The signaling is also converted back to ring
voltage on the telephone line. The block diagram in figure 2-1 depicts the operational principles.

Both CO and SU equipment comply with ITU-T G.703, G.704, G.706, G.715 recommendations.
The primary rate signal E1 is based on 30 channel PCM standard. Each shelf may contain up to two
30-ch systems, denoted as system-A and system-B. Each system may contain 4 channel mother cards,
and each channel mother card may contain 4 daughter interface cards, each daughter interface card
contains 2 voice or data interfaces. The user may chose the number of cards to be installed in a shelf
according to capacity requirement.
The H5MO-MFA can be monitored through RS232 and RS484 supervision ports on the PCM
Mux Card. To monitor the cards installed in both sides of the connected pair, a PC based control
station can be connected to either the CO side or the SU side, although most applications place the
control station at the CO side.
The Ring Power Card provides rining voltage to the subscriver telephone, and is typically
installed in the SU equipment. However, it can also be installed in the CO side when hot line or
magneto phone interfaces are installed on the CO side.
The Power Card converts –48V supply voltage to +5V and –5V operational voltage to the
equipment. To increase the reliability, two Power Cards can be installed in a single shelf in a 1+1
protection fashion.

2.1.2 System Configuration


Both the CO and the SU side equipment use the identical 16-slot shelf enclure. Each shelf can
hold 2 power cards (PWR), 1 ring power card (RPWR), 1 PCM mux/corss-connect card (MDX1-C), 8
channel cards (CHU), 1 EM signaling card (E&M), as is shown in figure 2-2.

Huahuan Beijing Tsinghua Electronics Co., Ltd.
Other cards are shared by both systems. When system-B is used, an additional framer daughter card is
required on the MDX1-C card. The slot marked (N/C) should be left unoccupied.
In a CO unit, the RPWR card is usually not required, and the voice channel daughter cards are of
the FXO type, while in a SU unit, the voice daughter cards are of the FXS type, and RPWR card is
required.
Each channel card can either be a Nx64 kbps high speed data card, a 10 BaseT Ethernet card, or
in most cases, a mother card that can hold 4 double-channel voice or low speed data daughter cards to
provide 8 voice or low speed data channels. On the mother card installed in slot 14 and 24, the
number of daughter cards is limited to 3, totaling 6 channels. Table 2.1 gives the association between
channel card positions and channel numbering.

User may install required number and type of channel interface cards according to this table.
The E1 interface on the unit can either be the unbalanced 75 coaxial type, or the balanced
120 twisted pair type as required.
For details of the cards, refer to chapter 3 and chapter 4.

2.2 System Application


The H5MO-MFA system can be used in a number of applications.
1. Point to point, star, and add/drop chain networks, as shown in Figure 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5.

3. Mixing of FXS and FXO interfaces in a single unit is supported.


4. Maximum capacity of one unit is 60 channels, may be stacked to provide more channels.
5. Transmission between units may use standard E1’s provided by dedicated transmission
equipment.
6. Independent of the transmission media, such as optical fiber, microwave radio, or cables, all
units in the network can be remotely monitored through management software, as the
management channel is in-band within the E1 signal.
7. Changing of different interfaces is easily achieved by replacing appropriate daughter channel
cards.
8. Each unit can provide 30 E lines and 30 M lines in addition to the full capacity of voice
channels. The 30 E & M signaling lines can be divided between system-A and system-B.

A basic system will at lease have the Enclosure, the PWR card, and the MDX1-C card. All the
rest building blocks are optional to the configuration required by each application. The next section
will describe each of the functional cards and their operation in detail.

4.2 Card Description and Operation

4.2.1 Power Supply Card (PWR)


The PWR card converts –48V DC supply power to +5V, -5V voltage required by internal
electronics. Each enclosure may use two PWR cards. Since a single PWR card can support the
operation of the complete unit, one more PWR card provides the 1+1 redundancy for more reliability.
The nominal output power of each PWR card is 25W.
There are 3 green LED lights on the PWR card, each indicate, top down, -48V, +5V, and –5V.
Light off denotes failure of the respective voltage.

-10-
Huahuan Beijing Tsinghua Electronics Co., Ltd.
4.2.2 Ring Power Card (RPWR)
The RPWR card generates ringing current to subscriber loop. It works in an unbalanced fashion,
i.e. one electrode (denoted RING+) is at the ground potential, and the other electrode (denoted RING-)
outputs the 75VAC(25Hz) ring voltage. The green LED indicates the operation status. Off represents
failure of the card.

4.2.3 PCM Mux Card (MDX1-C)


The MDX1-C card is shared by system-A and system-B in the same shelf. Main functional
blocks include a CPU unit, an on-board E1 transceiver and E1 framer unit, and a socket for the
additional E1 transceiver/framer daughter card FRAMER. The default capacity of the card is one E1,
i.e. system-A. When two systems are installed in the same shelf, the FRAMER daughter card muxt be
mounted on the MDX1-C card. There are arrow marks on both the MDX1-C socket and the FRAMER
daughter card, and they should be aligned when inserting the daughter card to the socket.
Besides basic multiplexing functions, there is a cross-connect block built-in on the card.
Main function
1. Standard E1 signal transmission driver and receiver, impedance may be set to 120
or 75.
2. Framing and de-framing of E1 signal.
3. Generates timing signal for PCM multiplexing operation.
4. Synchronization to local or recovered clock at 2.048MHz.
5. Provide time-slot corss connect between input and output E1’s.
6. Generate alarms.
7. Indicate operational status of the system.
8. Communicate with control station, accept control commands, report system status.
E1 interface impedance selection is factory set to either 75 or 120. User needs to indicate the
required impedance at the time of purchase.
4.2.3.1 Warning LED’s
There are 14 LED warning lights, divided into two groups for the two systems. The left column
of LED’s are for system-A, and the right column for system-B. Within each group, the meaning of
each LED is given in table 4.1, in top down order.
Table 4.1 MDX1 card LED table
LED name Color Meaning
AIS yellow Received E1 AIS
LOSS red Loss of incoming E1
FLS red Out of frame
MFLS red Out of multi-frame
RA yellow Remote alarm
RLOOP green E1 port Rx to Tx loopback
LLOOP green E1 port Tx to Rx loopback
4.2.3.2 Clock Mode
In a pair of H5MO-MFA equipment, one unit should be set to local clock mode, and the other
should be set to recovered clock mode. By convension, the CO unit is set to local mode, and the SU

-11-
Huahuan Beijing Tsinghua Electronics Co., Ltd.
unit is set to recovered clock mode. In ADM networks, one and only one unit should be set to local
clock, and all the rest set to recovered clock. In a single ended network where SU unit is connected
directly to the exchange throuth E1 signal without a CO unit, the SU unit is set to recovered clock
mode.
Note: It is a common mistake to set both units to the same clock mode, which will result in
severe slip and degrade the operation.
The first bit of a 4-dip switch at the lower left corner of MDX1-C card, marked K3, sets clock
mode. When the dip is switched to ON, local clock mode is selected, and the system synchronouses to
a high precision local ossociation clock. When the dip is OFF, recovered clock mode is selected, the
system works on recovered clock from incoming E1 signal.
A green LED below the warning lights indicates the clock mode. ON reprenents local clock mode,
and OFF represents recovered clock mode. The light is for both system-A and system-B, since their
clock modes are coupled.
4.2.3.3 Loop-Back Control
The E1 ports of system-A and system B can be set into loop-back state for diagnostics. Two
double-dip switches at the bottom on the front edge of the card provide loop-back control for
system-A (upper switch) and system-B (lower switch). Within each switch, the upper dip ON will
force the respective E1 port enter into remote loop-back state, i.e. the received E1 signal will be sent
back to the transmission side, and the RLOOP LED will be lit. The lower dip ON initiates the local
loop-back operation, when transmitted E1 signal is looped back to receiver side. LLOOP LED will
indicate this status.
NOTE:
1. Loop-back operation affects all 30 channels in the E1 signal, it is used only for
maintainance purposes, should not be set in normal operation.
2. The RLOOP and LLOOP cannot be set at the same time.

4.2.3.4 Monitor and Control Port


The control station communicates with the H5MO-MFA equipment through RS-485 serial
interface. The RS-485 jack is on the backplane. The CPU block in MDX1-C card communicates to the
control station to provide monitor and control of the system. A RS-232 port using DB9 socket is also
available at the top front edge of the card for easy access with a portable PC.
Dip 2,3, and 4 of switch K3 is for monitor and control related settings. Bit 2 determines whether
the contro signal to the remote unit should be in-band. It should always be set to ON.
Dip 3 and dip 4 set the control mode of the system, as given in Table 4.2.
Table 4.2 K3 switch dip3 and dip 4 control mode settings
Dip 3 Dip 4 Mode Description
OFF OFF 0 Local unit*, terminal mode.
OFF ON 1 Local unit*, add/drop mode..
ON OFF 2 Remote unit*, in add/drop mode.
ON ON 3 Remote unit*, terminal mode.
* Local units refere to units directly connected to the control station through RS-485 port.
Remote units refer to units on different sites from the control station, but connected to the local unit
through E1 links.

4.2.3.5 Cross-Connect Settings


The MDX1-C card has built-in time slot cross-connect functionality, as depicted in Figure 4-2.
The E1’s to and from backplane side (through framers) are denoted -FA and -FB, and E1’s to and
from the channel multiplex side are denoted –MA and –MB. The cross connect block achieves
non-blocking cross connection of time slots among these 4 pairs of E1 signals.

The time slot allocation for E1’s to and from the MUX’s is determined by hardware, i.e the
position of the CHU cards for voice channels, or the dip switch setting on the 10Base-T and DATA2
cards. Table 4.3 lists the relationship between daughter card positions and channel numbers. In this
manual, channel number, rather than actual time slot number, is used to describe channel allocation.
Ch01~Ch15 occupy TS1~TS15, and Ch16~CH30 occupy TS17~TS32 in a E1 signal.

The slot position within E1 signals going out of the MDX1-C card is re-arranged by the
cross-connect block under software control. This capability greatly increases the flexibility of the
system. For example, suppose system-A does not contain a data port, and system-B has 2 low speed
data ports allocated to ch1 and ch2 (remember that each daughter card contains 2 channels), if the
application requires that port-3 on system-A be configured as a data port, and system-B does not use
the data ch2 on port-2, one can reallocate the slots, exchanging slot-2 in E1-B and slot-3 in E1-A, all
by software control without hardware adjustment.
Cross-connect is also very useful in add/drop applications when each station require only a
limited number of ports. All the units on a chain can have identical hardware configurations, while
physical ports can be associated to any time slots by software.
The cross-connect block does not switch time slot-16, since it is shared by all channels in a E1
signal to carry channel associated signaling. Instead, the signaling exchange is not done at the
cross-connect fabric, but is achieved by the CPU processing on the MDX1-C card.
Cross-connect setting can either be set through centralized control station, or it can be set locally
using a portable PC.
 Setting Cross-Connect
Cross-connect is set through control software H7GMSW. The description of the software is
given in “H7GMSW Manual”, only the potion on cross-connect setting is described here.
Inside the H5MO-MFA icon, double click on the MDX1 card position, bring out the control
window as shown in Figure 4-3. Click the check box at the lower left corner, when a tick sing appear
in the check box, double click on the Cross-Connect Control button, wich will bring out cross-connect
window as shown in Figure 4-4.

Huahuan Beijing Tsinghua Electronics Co., Ltd.

Figure 4-3 MDX1 Card Control Window

Cross-connect setting is achieved by filling out the table. In Figure 4-4, there are 4 grey columns
representing the outgoing (relative to the cross-connect block) channels, i.e. all the channels in Tx-FA,
Tx-FB, Rx-MA, and Rx-MB in Figure 4-2. The white columns on the right to each grey column, is
filled in with channel numbers intended to go in the relative channels in the outgoing E1 signals. For
example, to cross-connect the ch02 of Framer B to ch03 in Backplane Port-A, fill in the white box at
the right of the Tx-FA03 box in grey column-1 with Tx-MB02, and fill in the white box next to
Rx-MB02 in grey column-4 with Rx-FA03 for bi-directional operation.
To simplify the input process, all the channels are coded into integer digits, as listed in Table 4.4.
User just need to input a corresponding number in the white boxes.
The “Through” button in Figure 4-4 sets the cross-connect matrix into its default “through”
mode, with all channels in Tx-FA directly from corresponding channels in Rx-MA, and all channels
in Tx-FB directly from corresponding channels in Rx-MB, and vice versa.

Note:

1、 Keep in mind that all the channels should be set in pairs to facilitate duplex channels.
Mistakes in this regard often lead to single-ended conversation.
2、 In add/drop mode, pass-through channels should be set between FA ports and FB ports.

3、 Only integer numbers between 1 and 120 are legal, the software will not allow any other
inputs.
4、 Do not click on “through” butten again after filing numbers, or the filled number will
be replaced by default settings. It might be helpful to click “through” butten before
filing the table if default setting is intended for most channels.

4.2.4 Channel Interface Cards


Channel cards are assemblies of the channel mother card (CHU) and a selection of daughter
cards. Daughter cards are pluged onto the appropriate sockets on the mother card. Each mother card
can hold up to 4 daughter cards, and each daughter card usually contain 2 interface ports, occupying 2
time slots in the E1 signal.

-16-
Huahuan Beijing Tsinghua Electronics Co., Ltd.
4.2.4.1 Channel Mother Card (CHU)
The CHU card accomplishes 2 functions:
1. Generate individual timing signals for each daughter card, from master timing signals from
the MDX1 card.
2. Provide power and other connections between daughter cards and the rest of the system.
There are 4 daughter card sockets numbered 1,2,3, and 4 on the CHU card. When plug in a
daughter card, pay attention to the arrow at each socket and the arrow on the daughter card. Align the
arrow to the same direction, avoid reversing or mismatching of the socket and the plug pins. All the
daughter cards are compatible, and can thus be pluged at any position. Positions 1,2,3, and 4
respectively relate to ch01 and ch02, ch03 and ch04, ch05 and ch06, ch07 and ch08 at shelf channel
slot 11 and 21. Other slots are likely arranged.
There are 8 green LED’s on the CHU card, denotes, in top down order, channel number 1
through 8. The meaning of these lights depends on the daughter type installed, see Table 4.5.

4.2.4.2 FXO telephone interface daughter card (CH/L)


CH/L interfaces with an exchange user line. Its functions include A/D and D/A conversion,
ring current detection, signaling coding and decoding, etc. Each CH/L daughter card contains 2
exchange user line interfaces.

4.2.4.3 FXS telephone interface daughter card (CH/R)


The CH/R daughter card provides interface to subscriber loop. Its function include A/D and
D/A conversion, 2-wire/4-wire conversion, battery to subscriber loop, ringing current to
subscriber loop, over-voltage and over-current protection, etc. Each CH/R daughter card contains
2 subscriber line interfaces.

4.2.4.4 2-wire voice daughter card (CH2W)


CH2W daughter card fulfils the function of 2-wire/4-wire conversion and voice signal A/D and
D/A conversion. Each CH2W daughter card contains 2 voice interfaces.
CH2W daughter card does not have CO and SU versions, it is typically used in connecting with
voice frequency modems.

-17-
Huahuan Beijing Tsinghua Electronics Co., Ltd.

4.2.4.5 4-wire voice daughter card (CH4W, CH4W_A)


CH4W cards include voice signal A/D and D/A conversion, and signal level adjustment functions.
Each CH4W daughter card contains 2 voice interfaces.
CH4W daughter card does not have CO and SU versions, it is typically used for 4-wire tandem
connections.

Operation Note
1、 Standard 4-wire voice daughter card (CH4W)

The CH4W daughter card contains two 4-wire voice interfaces. Both the received (coming
out of the system) and transmit (going into the system) signal levels can be set to one of two
levels: 0dBr or +4dBr. Signal level selection is accomplished by seting jumpers on the card.
Jumpers CNM1~CNM2 set receive signal level for interface-1, jumper CNM3 sets transmit
signal level for interface-1, jumpers CNM4~CNM5 set receive signal level for interface-2,
jumper CNM6 sets transmit signal level for interface-2, as is listed below:
Interface number Jumpers Jumper position Meaning
Left Receive level: 0dBr
CNM1, CNM2
Right Receive level: +4dBr
1
Left Transmit level: 0dBr
CNM3
Right Transmit level: +4dBr
Left Receive level: 0dBr
CNM4, CNM5
Right Receive level: +4dBr
2
Left Transmit level: 0dBr
CNM6
Right Transmit level: +4dBr
The default factory setting is 0dBr/0dBr, i.e. all jumpers on left side.

2、 4-wire voice with built-in attenuator daughter card (CH4W_A)

The CH4W daughter card contains two 4-wire voice interfaces, with built-in
attenuators for fine adjustment of the signal levels. The maximum received (coming out of
the system) signal level is -14dBr when attenuator is set to 0 dB attenuation, and the
maximum transmit (going into the system) signal level is +4dBr when attenuator is set to 0
dB attenuation. The amount of attenuation each attenuator can insert is between 0dB to
31.5dB, adjustable at 0.5 dB steps.
There are 4 separate attenuators for signal level adjustment for receive and transmit of
2 interfaces. The attenuation value is set by four 12-bit dip switches, denoted K1, K2, K3,
and K4.
K1: setting receive signal level for interface-1
K2: setting transmit signal level for interface-1
K3: setting receive signal level for interface-2
K4: setting transmit signal level for interface-2
Total attenuation of each attenuator is the sum of a 6-section sub-attenuators, each
section selectively inserts 0.5dB, 1dB, 2dB, 4dB, 8dB, and 16dB respectively. Table 4.6 lists
the dip switch coding for each section.

Note: the default factory setting is 0dB total attenuation.
Suppose a 14.5dB attenuation is to be inserted, which can be decomposed into
8dB+4dB+2dB+0.5dB, and corresponding dip setting is shown in Figure 4.7.

4.2.4.6 Synchronous Data Daughter Cards (CHD, CHD_V35B)
Synchronous data daughter cards are used to interface with low speed synchronous data. They
perform interface coding and data adaptation into one or two 64kbps channels within a E1 signal.
Two types of synchronous data daughter cards are available, the CHD card which contains two
64kbps G.703 codirectional synchronous data interfaces, and the CHD_V35B card which contain one
64kbps or 128kbps synchronous data with interface selectable between V.35 and V.11/RS422.

Operation
No setting is required for CHD daughter card.
For CHD_V35B daughter card, selections can be made for bit rate and interface type. There is a
2-bit dip switch on the daughter card to set its operation mode, as shown in Figure 4-6. The left dip
selects interface type between V.35 and V.11, and the right dip selects bit rate between 128kbps and
64kbps.

V35 128

V11 64

Figure. 4-6 CHD_V35B


Each socket on the channel mother card CHU corresponds to 2 channels in E1 signal. When
CHD_V35B is set to 64kbps, it only occupies the first channel, only when 128kbps is selected, it will
occupy both channels.
Note: when 128kbps is selected, the CHD_V35B daughter card should not be plugged at
socket-4 position on the CHU, if the CHU is at slot 12 or 22.
The physial interface for CHD_V35B uses wire-wrap pins on the backplane, as describered in
section 6.2. Table 4.8 gives the relationship between interface signals and the wire-wrap pins. In the
table, Ti and Ri are printed marks on the back side of the backplane, where i is from 1 to 32, and
repeated for system-A and system-B. The pins are in pairs, so there are always 2 pins next to each
other that have the same mark, one denoted TiU or RiU for the upper pin, and one denoted TiL or RiL
for the lower pin in the table.
Table 4.8 Relationship between backplane wire-wrap pins and CHD_35B interface signal
Ri CHD_V35 signal Ti CHD_V35 signal
RiU TDA (transmit data) TiU RDA (receive data)
RiL TDB (transmit data) TiL RDB (receive data)
Ri+1U TCLKA (transmit clock) Ti+1U GND
Ri+1L TCLKB (transmit clock) Ti+1L GND
Note: i=8*n+2*m-1,
where n = 0 for CH11 and CH21
n = 1 for CH12 and CH22
n = 2 for CH13 and CH23
n = 3 for CH14 and CH24
m is the socket number at which the CHD_V35B is pluged on the CHU mother
card.

-20-
Huahuan Beijing Tsinghua Electronics Co., Ltd.
For example, if the CHD_V35B card is at socket 3 on a CHU pluged in slot CH12, then i = 13,
thus R13U, R13L, R14U, R14L, T13U, T13L, T14U, and T14L pins are used as signal pins.

4.2.4.7 Asynchronous Data Daughter Card (CHAD_232, CHAD_422)


The CHAD card adapts asynchronous serial data into a single 64kbps PCM channel. The
maximum baud rate is 14.4kb/s. Each card contains 2 channels.
Two interface versions are available, one code named CHAD_232 is for RS-232/V.24 interface,
and one code named CHAD_422 is for RS-422/V.11 interface. The cards are of plug-n-play type, no
setting is required.

4.2.4.8 Magneto Daughter Cards (CHRD, CHRD_2K)


Magneto interface card interfaces with magneto telephone sets. It converts analog signal to and
from 64kbps PCM digital signal, detects hand-cranked AC signaling, and sends rining power to
magneto telephone when the remote is making the call. Each card contain two channels.
Two types of magneto daughter cards are available, one is the standard magneto interface card,
CHRD, and the other is the carrier signaling magneto interface card, CHRD_2K.
1. Standard magneto interface daughter card CHRD
It is used to connect ordinary magneto telephone, or magneto switchboard. Signaling is
transmitted through channel associated signaling bits in time slot 16 of the E1 signal.
2. Carrier signaling magneto interface daughter card CHRD_2K
It is also used to connect ordinary magneto telephone, or magneto switchboard. It differs from
CHRD in that the signaling is transmitted in-band using a 2100Hz single frequency tone. Since
signaling is in-band, cascading is simplified. A generator of the 2100Hz signal is needed to support
the carrier signaling, which is provided by a daughter card, SG_2K. Only one SG_2K daughter card is
need in each shelf, see section 4.2.4.10.

4.2.4.9 Hot Line Interface Daughter Card (CHP)


Hot line telephone interface is similar to ordinary telephones, except that it does not need to dial.
When one side pickes up the phone, the other side rings. So hot line interface needs to provide ring
power on both sides. Thus, RPWR card is required in a shelf if CHP card is installed.

4.2.4.10 2100Hz Signal Generator Daugher Card (SG_2K)


This card is used in conjuction with CHRD_2K interface to provide in-band signaling tone of
2100Hz. Only one SG_2K is required in a shelf no matter how many CHRD_2K interfaces are used,
or in which system they are used. The daughter card may be plagged on any of the sockets on a CHU,
but it’s better to be installed at socket 4 on CH14 or CH24, as those sockets are not used for channel
multiplexing.

4.2.5 High Speed Data Interface Card (DATA 2)


4.2.5.1 Introduction
DATA2 card provides two N*64kbps (N=1~30) bit rate V.35 DCE interfaces data channels. The
bit rata for each channel, and corresponding time slots occupied in the E1 signal, can be individually
configured. The card takes place of slots CH11 through CH14 for system-A E1 time slots, or slots
-21-

the E1 port; “receiving” means data going into the data port, which are sent through the
E1 port.

4.2.6 Ethernet Data Interface Card (10BASE-T)


The 10BASE-T card is used to transmit Ethernet packets through a N*64kbps channel within a
E1. This enables the H5MO-MFA to be used to provide voice, low-speed data, and Ethernet at the
same time, using E1 connection. The E1 link may be provided by a SDH fiber optic network, by
microwave link, by satellite link, or, when distance is within 1.5 km, by direct link using twisted pair
cables between to H5MO-MFA units. Figure 4-10 depicts a typical application.

The 10BASE-T card takes the position of a channel card in the H5MO-MFA shelf. It can be
plugged into any of the CH11~CH14 slots for system-A, or CH21~CH24 slots for system-B.
4.2.6.1 Time Slot Setting
E1 time slot allocation for the 10BASE-T card is set using dip switch K1 on the card. Differ from
DATA2 card, the time slots allocated to 10BASE-T card must be contiguous. Dip 1 through dip 5 of
K1 set the starting channel, and dip 6 through dip 10 set the ending channel to be allocated to Ethernet
connection. The numbers are coded in binary, with dip 1 and dip 6 the least significant bits, and dip 5
and dip 10 the most significant bits respectively. Dip position ON represents a 1, and OFF represents
0. Table 4.13 indicates the dip arrangement.

For example, suppose an application needs four voice, two 9.6kbps low-speed data, and one
Ethernet connection. One can allocate channel 1~4 to voice, channel 5~6 for low-speed data, and the
remaining 7~30 channels totaling 26*64kbps, i.e. 1664kbps capacity, can be allocated to Ethernet. To
achieve this using system-A:
1. Use one CHU card, install 2 CH/R cards (or CH/L at the CO side) on socket 1 and socket
2, install a CHAD card on socket 3, the CHU card takes the slot CH11.
2. Put one 10BASE-T card in any of the slots CH12~CH14, config the K1 switch to set
starting channel to 7, and ending channel to 30, as shown in Table 4.14.

4.2.6.2 LED’s
Two LED’s indicate the operation status of the card. The green LED ON indicates the normal
working condition of the Ethernet cable connection, it will flash when packets are passing the port.
The yellow LED is the collision indication, it shines when packet collision occurs.

4.2.7 E&M Signaling Card (EM)


The EM card interfaces with E and M signaling lines, convert signaling information into time
slot 16 in E1. Each EM card contains 30 E lines and 30 M lines. These 30 pair of E/M lines are
arranged into 4 groups, 8 lines for the first 3 groups, and 6 line for the 4th group. Each group can be
configured to use either system-A or system-B. The configuration is done with management software.
It should be clear that in this equipment, E line is the input line where signal goes into the
system, and M line is the output line where signal comes out of the system.

4.2.8 Data Mother Board(DATAMB)
4.2.8.1 Overview
Data mother board is the new added data interface mother board of H5MO-MFA and
H5MO-MFB.There are two sockets on the board which can support two H5PCM.V35 boards or two
H5PCM.100Base-Tx boards or one H5PCM.V35 and one H5PCM.100Base-Tx.
4.2.8.2 Indication lights

5.  Alarms and Maintenance


In previous sections, individual functional cards are described in detail. Many cards have alarm
lights on the front edge. These alarm LED’s give out alarm indication that can help the maintenance
during the operation.
Apart from alarm LED’s on each functional card, the system sumerize the operational status and
generate system alarm output to trigger a rack top alarm light and siren. System alarms are servier
alarms that need immediate services.
All alarms will also appear at the control station terminal if management software is installed.

5.2 Daily Maintenance


For reliable operation and extended life, users should take the following precautions:
1. Do not modify any potion of the system, do not adjust any adjustable components.
2. Limit the frequency of changing cards, avoid plugging or unplugging the cards with system
power on.
3. Never mis-plug cards into wrong slots.
4. When changing daughter cards, make sure alignment is correct.
5. Securly connect the earth plate to local earth potential using short, thick wire to limit the
danger of lightening damage.
6. Keep discharge devices on over voltage protection frame in good condition, avoid bypassing
the protection frame and directly connect outside loop to the system.
7. When using control station, make sure the PC is securely earthed.
8. -48V supply power must be stable and reliable.

6.  Installation
The H5MO-MFA uses the same 19 inch metal shelf for both CO side and SU side equipment.
Functional cards are plugged into the shelf along card rails. A flip down open metal door covers the
internal cards. All the connections are down at the back of the shelf.

6.2.2 Descriptions
All the connections to the H5MO-MFA system are made with connectors on the backplane, as
illustrated in Figure 6-3. There are printed marks on the backplane near each connector.
6.2.2.1 E1 CONNECTORS
On the upper left corner, there are 4 connectors for E1 connection. The sockets marked Tx2M1
and Rx2M1 are output and input ports respectively for system-A, and the sockets marked Tx2M2
and Rx2M2 are output and input ports respectively for system-B. Default connectors are coaxical
for 75Ω unbalanced E1 interface. It may be replaced with 3-pin wire-wrap pins for 120Ω balanced
E1 if required by user when ordering the product, where the upper pin is GND, and 2 lower pins
are for signal connection.
6.2.2.2 CONTROL PORT
The RS-485 socket at the lower right corner is used for connection to the control station. It is a 9
pin D type connector, to be connected to the controlling PC station using a cable made according
to section 6.3.
6.2.2.3 SYSTEM ALARM
There are two equivalent system alarm sockets on the upper left of the backplane. The upper pin
of the sockets floats in normal conditions, and connects to ground when system alarm occurs. It is
connected to the rack top alarm unit when equipped, and can be cascaded when more than one
equipment unit is stacked. Two sockets are internally connected for cascading. If no rack top
alarm unit is equipped, these sockets should be left open.
6.2.2.4 POWER IN CONNECTOR
The supply power of -48V voltage is connected to the H5MO-MFA system throuth the power in

-30-

connector above the control socket. The upper screw is the -48V input, and the lower screw is
ground. Make sure the voltage and polarity are correct, and tightly fasten the screw for reliable
connection. There is another power in socket at the upper right corner. It may also be used for
connecting the -48V power supply. But for reliable operation, the screw connector is
recommended.
6.2.2.5 E&M CONNECTION
The wire-wrap pins in connectors CN1 and CN2 on both sides of the EM connector are used for
connecting E and M lines. There are marks E1 through E30 and M1 through M30 beside
respective wire-wrap pins for easy identification. E and M lines should be wire-wrapped on
appropriate pins.
6.2.2.6 CHANNEL INTERFACES
Wire-wrap pin connectors are provided around channel card connectors CH11~CH14 and
CH21~CH24. The wire-wrap connectors are marked CN3 through CN18. CN3~CN10 are used for
system-A, and CN11~CN18 are for system-B. Notation marks T1~T32 and R1~R32 beside
respective wire-wrap pins for easy identification. Generally, Ti pins are transmit signal pins
(going into the system), and Ri pins are receive signal pins (coming out of the system). The exact
meaning of these wire-wrap pins depends on channel card types inserted into the slot, as given in
Table 6.2.

n = 1 for CH12 and CH22
n = 2 for CH13 and CH23
n = 3 for CH14 and CH24
m is the socket number at which the daughter card is pluged on the CHU mother
card.
l = 0 for 1st channel on the daughter card
l = 1 for 2nd channel on the daughter card
NOTE-2. RiU and RiL respectively denote the upper and lower pins that both marked Ri.
NOTE-3. Telephone lines are usually directly wire-wrapped onto the wire-wrap pins, and data
ports usually use appropriate connectors wire-wrapped to the pins, to provide detachable
data cable connection.
NOTE-4. It should be remined that in the table, 4-wire receive voice means voice signal coming
out of the system, transmit voice means voice signal going into the system, while
definition for data signals is opposite, i.e. Tx data means data signal coming out of the
system, but Rx data means data signal going into the system. This is somewhat confusing,
but should not be mistaken.
6.2.2.7 DATA2 CARD INTERFACE
Similar to CHU cards, the DATA2 card also uses the wire-wrap pins for data I/O. Use a 25-pin D
type connector (DB25) to connect to the wire-wrap pins, and a DB25 to standard V.35 ISO-2593
DCE connector conversion cable (part number BH4.851.054) provided with the card.
The wire-wrap pins are related to V.35 signals as listed in Table 6.5

6.2.2.8 10BASE-T CARD INTERFACE


Similar to CHU cards, the 10BASE-T card also uses the wire-wrap pins for I/O connection. Either
the Category-5 Ethernet cable may be directly wire-wrapped for permanent connection, or a RJ45
jack may be wire-wrapped to the pins to provide socket for Ethernet connections. The wire-wrap
pins are related to Ethernet signals as in Table 6.8.

The RJ45 jack is provided with the 10BASE-T card. Wire-wraping needs to be down on site after
the user has determined which slot to be used for 10BASE-T card, and the distance between RJ45 and
the equipment perfered.
When connecting the RJ45 jack to the backplane, refer to Table 6.9.

6.3 Control Station Cable
Some cables, e.g. control connection cable, need to be made in the field to meet the site condition.
This section describe how the control cable is made.

Figure 6-4 Control station control cable


The control station PC is connected to H5MO-MFA equipment through a RS-485 cable. A
plug-in card is provided with each copy of the management software for converting RS-232 port on a
PC into RS485 port. The male type 9-pin D-connector, marked CN1 in Figure 6-4, is used to connect
to the PC. If there are more than 1 H5MO-MFA equipment unit at one site, only one cable, with more
than 1 equipment side connectors of female 9-pin D-connector, such as CN2 and CN3 in Figure 6-4, is
used.
Pin to pin interconnection of the control cable in Figure 6-4 is given by Table 6.11. The table
may be extended easily for cables having more than 2 equipment side connectors.

Note: 1. The ‘’ sign represents a section of connection wire, i.e. pin 1 of CN1, pin 3 of CN2 and
CN3 are connected in series.
2. The length of each section of the cable is determined by the distance between the control
station PC and the H5MO-MFA, and between stacked H5MO-MFA’s. When the distance is
more than 10 meters, or when there is strong electromagnetic interference, use twisted pairs.
Otherwise, un-twisted cables may be used.
3. When twisted pairs are used, make sure the connection relationship given in the table are
kept.
