174 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
— converts on/off-hook, and ringer control messages from the DS-30X
loop into A/B bit manipulations for each time slot in the T1 data
stream, using robbed bit signaling.
•
the front panel LED when the card is enabled or disabled by
instructions from the NT8D01 controller card.
The Lineside T1 card contains two microcontrollers that control the internal
operation of the card and the serial card LAN link to the controller card.
The microcontrollers control the following:
•
reporting to the CE CPU through the card LAN link:
— card identification (card type, vintage, serial number)
— firmware version
— self-test results
— programmed unit parameter status
•
receipt and implementation of card configuration:
— control of the T1 line interfaces
— enabling/disabling of individual units or entire card
— programming of loop interface control circuits for administration of
channel operation
— maintenance diagnostics
•
interface with the line card circuit:
— converts on/off-hook, and ringer control messages from the DS-30X
loop into A/B bit manipulations for each time slot in the T1 data
stream, using robbed bit signaling.
• the front panel LED when the card is enabled or disabled by
instructions from the NT8D01 controller card.
