NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2 PRI2 card

DANGER

DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

The NT5D97 DDP2 card is not designed to be connected
directly to the Public Switched Network, or other exposed plant
networks. Such a connection should only be done using an
isolating-type networking terminating device that provides
voltage surge protection, such as a Line Terminating Unit (LTU),
Network Channel Terminating Equipment (NCTE), or Network
Termination 1 (NT1), as certified by your local, regional, or
national safety agency and telecommunication authority.

Physical description

External D-Channel Interface DCH or MSDL

The connection between the DDP2 card and the external DCH or MSDL is
through a 26-pin female D type connector. The data signals conform to the
electrical characteristics of the EIA standard RS-422.

Two control signals are used to communicate the D-channel link status to
the DCH or MSDL. These are:

Receiver Ready (RR), originating at the DDP2 card, to indicate to the
DCH or MSDL that the D-channel link is operational.

Transmitter Ready (TR), originating at the DCH or MSDL, to indicate to
the DDP2 card that the DCH are ready to use the D-channel link.

Table 120 "DCH/MSDL Receiver Ready control signals" (page
320)

indicates how the RR control signal operates with regard to the DDP2

status.
