Rack Mounting

Insert the NT1B-300TC into the appropriate slot in the rack. Any
unit may be inserted or removed from an operational rack
without affecting the performance of other NT1 units. Power is
supplied through the rack.

Powering Arrangements

The NT1 and terminal equipment may be powered through
several different arrangements. In a stand-alone configuration,
the optional Tone Commander Model 901034 Desktop Power
Supply can be used to power both the NT1 and terminal
equipment. Plug the power supply barrel connector into the
POWER jack on the NT1. In a rack configuration, NT1 power is
provided by the rack. Terminal power is supplied through the
NT1 for either of the following configurations:

PS2 - Direct power feed on S/T jack pin 7 (-) and pin 8 (+),
5 watts maximum per terminal (10 watts total).
PS1 - Phantom power feed over the transmission pairs, S/T
jack pins 3/6 (+) and pins 4/5 (-), 4 watts maximum (total for all
terminals).

Alternately, a stand-alone NT1 may be powered from a
back-room power source (e.g. Tone Commander Model PS-50),
or an in-line power source (e.g. Tone Commander Model
901052), on pins 7 and 8 of the LINE connector.

CAUTION: Make sure only one power source is connected to
the NT1; damage to equipment may result if multiple power
sources are connected.

Installation and Troubleshooting

Connect the network U interface from the telco to the U LINE
jack on the NT1. Connect ISDN BRI terminals to either S/T jack
using four pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, Category 3
or better, with T568A or T568B wiring.

After the U and S/T cords are connected, connect the power
source to the NT1. Observe the indicator LEDs. The green
POWER LED should turn on as soon as power is applied. The
green STATUS LED should transition from off, to fast flash, slow
flash, then on steady as the U and S/T interfaces initialize. The
NT1 is fully activated when both LEDs are on steady. Be
patient; in some instances, the network may take up to 3
minutes to synchronize with the NT1.

If two S/T terminals are connected to the NT1, the STATUS LED
will light steady if either terminal has initialized through the NT1.
To check each terminal, connect only one at a time and verify
LED status.

Incorrect termination on the S/T (terminal) interface is a
common cause of unreliable terminal operation. Symptoms
include random data errors, intermittent STATUS indication, or
complete terminal malfunction. Network line synchronization
may not be affected. Refer to the wiring configuration diagrams
in the Termination Switch section for the appropriate termination
setting.

To fully operate with the network, the terminal equipment must
also be correctly programmed with required operating
parameters (such as SPID) that are provided by your telco.
Consult your terminal equipment documentation for
programming instructions.

Status Indicators

The operating state of the NT1B-300TC is displayed by the two
indicator lamps.

POWER: ON STEADY when power is applied to the NT1.

STATUS: OFF – No U interface (line error). Check connection
to telco network.

FAST FLASH (8/sec.) – Attempting to link U interface with the
telco network. A fast flash persisting longer than 15 seconds
indicates that the NT1 is in a maintenance mode that was
requested by the central office

SLOW FLASH (2/sec.) – U linked, S/T link not established with
terminal. Check connection to terminal.

ON STEADY – Normal operation. U linked, and at least one S/T
terminal linked.

Resetting the NT1

If the U interface is disconnected or disrupted, a loss of linkage
between the NT1 and the telco central office may occur. To
force immediate network and terminal resynchronization,
momentarily disconnect power to reset the NT1.

Removing power from the NT1 during normal operation will
temporarily disrupt network communication and will disconnect
any call in progress.
