T1/FT1 OVERVIEW
T1 digital communication links have been used by telcos for the transmission of voice since the early
sixties. The D4 channel bank is an example of a T1 digital carrier system that was introduced in the midseventies and is still widely used by the telcos. Communication demands of business continued to grow to
the point that the telcos began offering T1 service directly to the public. D4 channel banks were used for
T1 in corporate network topographies for voice. The technological advances in computer development also
created a demand for T1 data communication, which now is a large part of the T1 traffic.
T1 SERVICE OFFERINGS
T1 is a digital service delivered to the user over two pairs of wires from the service provider. The signal
operates at 1.544 Mbps and is usually extended by repeaters installed approximately every mile after the
first 6000 feet. The T1 signal is divided into 24 time slots which operate at 64 kbps (DS0s). Each time slot
is occupied by digitized voice or by data.
The T1 signal originally used a type of framing known as D4 superframe (SF), which identifies how the T1
is multiplexed. An enhancement of that framing format, called extended superframe (ESF), is available.
ESF provides a non-disruptive means of full-time monitoring on the digital facility. It was originally used
by service providers to monitor the performance of their service offering. Since the introduction of ESF,
equipment installed in private networks can also provide this performance information to the user.
T1 ESF CSU ACE OVERVIEW
Most carriers (regional or local telcos), when supplying a T1 line to customer premises equipment (CPE),
require an interface to monitor the T1 line. The T1 ESF CSU ACE (extended superframe channel service
unit advanced communication equipment) provides the required interface between the CPE (such as DSUs,
channel banks, T1 multiplexers, and PBXs) and telco or private T1 facilities. Figure 1-1 depicts a typical
© 2004 ADTRAN, Inc
Figure 1-1. T1 ESF CSU ACE Application
The T1 ESF CSU ACE provides surge protection, signal regeneration, alarms, and loopbacks necessary for
circuit operation and fault isolation. The unit provides the simultaneous use of performance report
messages of ANSI T1.403 and maintenance messages of AT&T TR54016. The T1 ESF CSU ACE also
provides conversion from SF to ESF framing formats, allowing older SF data terminal equipment (DTE) to
take advantage of the superior diagnostic capabilities of ESF T1 facilities.
The unit complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules and with applicable sections of AT&T 62411, ANSI T1.102,
and T1.403.
Figure 1-2 shows the front of the T1 ESF CSU ACE, and Figure 1-3 shows the back of the T1 ESF CSU
ACE. Figure 1-4 shows the jack signal directions.
Figure 1-2. T1 ESF CSU ACE Front View
Figure 1-3. T1 ESF CSU Rear View
Figure 1-4. Jack Signal Directions
The following features give the T1 ESF CSU ACE many advantages over other products of its kind:
Smallest T1 ESF CSU ACE in the industry.
Front panel interface eliminates the need for a terminal to configure the T1 ESF CSU ACE.
Automatic ESF to D4 frame conversion.
Wall mount NEC Class 2, 12 VDC power supply eliminates the need for an external power supply.
Can be wall mounted to virtually any surface. There are rubber feet on the unit for use on a table top.
Can configure a modem so that it does not have to be configured before installation.
Backs up configuration data in EEPROM.
NI (Labeled NET)
The network interface (NI) port complies with the applicable ANSI and AT&T standards. Its features
D4 or ESF framing
AMI or B8ZS coding
Configurable LBO
Local and remote test loopbacks
Extensive self test
TI (Labeled CPE)
Features of the terminal interface (TI) include the following:
D4 or ESF framing (independent of NI)
Transmit LBO to 655 feet
Control Port Input (Labeled EIA-232)
Features of the control port include the following:
EIA-232 input from a PC or a modem for control of the T1 ESF CSU ACE
Up to 9600 baud operation
Acts as input for PC or proxy agent control
The front panel provides complete and easy control of all items that can be configured through
menu-guided options. The front panel LCD displays the status of operation and performance reports for the
unit. Chapter 3 contains information on front panel operation and all the menu options.
ADTRAN PC Program
T-Watch is the ADTRAN PC control program. It provides complete control over the configuration of the
T1 ESF CSU ACE through a graphic interface. The T-Watch program displays the same status and
performance data as the front panel LCD. This data is displayed in the form of tables and graphs.
The T-Watch program has the following capabilities:
Interface with modem permits dialing into a remote T1 ESF CSU ACE location to configure the unit or
read the unit’s status or performance.
Performance data read from the units can be exported in a file which is compatible with common
The ADTRAN T1 ESF CSU ACE supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) through
the ADTRAN Advisor SNMP Proxy Agent (1950007L1) to a network management system such as
OpenView® or SunNet Manager™. The proxy agent runs on a PC and can interface to the T1 ESF CSU
ACE directly or through a modem, in the same manner as the T-Watch PC programs.
The ADTRAN T1 ESF CSU ACE recognizes an escape sequence that puts the unit into the ASCII terminal
mode. After receiving the sequence, the T1 ESF CSU ACE sends front panel information to the terminal.
This interface acts exactly like the front panel, but the advantage is that it can be accessed remotely
(through a modem). The escape sequence is:
<CONTROL-A> <CONTROL-P> <CONTROL-T>
<CONTROL-P> <CONTROL-T> <CONTROL-T>
The terminal or terminal emulation software must be VT100 compatible.
T1 ESF CSU ACE TESTING
The T1 ESF CSU ACE offers three forms of testing:
The self test checks the integrity of the electronic components’ internal operation by performing memory
tests and sending and verifying data test patterns through all internal interfaces. Although actual user data
cannot be passed during these tests, the self test can be run with the network and DTE interfaces in place
and will not disturb any external interface.
The self test automatically executes upon power-up. It can also be initiated from a front panel menu or
from the control port.
In addition to the specified self tests, background tests are run on various parts of the internal electronics.
These run during normal operation to confirm continued correct functioning. The background tests include
the standard background network performance monitoring as required by ANSI T1.403 and AT&T 54016,
for which the results are stored.
A number of different loopbacks can be invoked locally from the front panel, by T-Watch commands, or
remotely by using special inband codes (AT&T network loop-up and loop-down codes). Additionally, the
loopbacks can be remotely controlled by out-of-band commands using the T1 ESF FDL, or from T-Watch
using a modem connection. A discussion of network loopbacks and DTE interface loopbacks follows.
Network Loopbacks
There are two types of network loopbacks: line loopbacks and payload loopbacks. These are illustrated in
Line Loopback - Loops all of the received data back toward the network. The transmitted data is the
identical line code that was received, including any bipolar violations or framing errors.
Payload Loopback - Similar to line loopback, except that the framing is extracted from the received data
and then regenerated for the transmitted data.
Figure 1-5. Network Loopback Tests
DTE Interface Loopbacks
Loops all data from the terminal interface (TI) back towards the T1. This loopback may be initiated using
front panel, EIA-232 control port, or T-Watch commands. The DTE (or external test equipment) must
provide any test pattern in order to check the DTE interface. See Figure 1-6.
Figure 1-6. DTE Interface Loopback
The T1 ESF CSU ACE offers three test patterns: All Ones, All Zeros, and 1:8. These patterns can be
initiated from the front panel, through the EIA-232 control port, or remotely via a management software
like T-Watch.
The All Ones pattern sends ones in all the payload bits.
The All Zeros pattern sends zeros in all the payload bits and is useful for testing line code configuration
(AMI/B8ZS mismatches).
1 in 8 (1:8)
Each channel of the T1 has only one bit set. This pattern is used in conjunction with external test
equipment to determine whether the T1 line is performing acceptably under a stress condition.
Three applications are shown in this section. Figure 1-7 on page 27 shows a general data application;
Figure 1-8 on page 28 shows a general voice application; and Figure 1-9 on page 28 shows a channel bank

Figure 1-9. Channel Bank Application
Carefully inspect the T1 ESF CSU ACE for any shipping damages. If damage is suspected, file a claim
immediately with the carrier and then contact ADTRAN Technical Support. If possible, keep the original
shipping container to ship the T1 ESF CSU ACE back for repair or to verify damage during shipment.

Menu flow is normally depicted from left to right. Arrows on the lower right of the screen indicate the
direction of scrolling to view additional menu items. At every level of the menu, pressing the CANCEL
button returns the system to the previous menu level. Repeatedly pressing the CANCEL button returns the
system to the Main menu.
The opening menu is the access point to all other operations. There are four Main menu items: STATUS,
CONFIGURATION, UTILITY, and TEST. Each Main menu item has several functions and submenus to
identify and access specific parameters. In the discussions that follow, each Main menu item contains a
complete menu diagram to identify the location of each operation.
DETAILED MENU OPERATION
The Status menu branch lets you view the status of the T1 ESF CSU ACE operation. See Figure 3-9.
*T1 ERR/ALM has the same menu sub-branches as NI ERR/ALM.
**T1 HISTORY has the same sub-branches as NI HISTORY.
Figure 3-9. Status Menu Tree
1)NI PERF RPTS, Submenu of 1)STATUS
The Network Interface Performance Reports menu item displays the user copy of the performance
data. The T1 ESF CSU ACE maintains this performance data on the network in compliance with ANSI
T1.403 and AT&T document TR54016. The data displayed is data accumulated over the last 15
minutes and over the last 24 hours.
Figure 3-10. First Menu of NI PERF RPTS Menu
These fields cannot be edited, only cleared, as previously discussed. Only the user copy of the
performance data is cleared. The network management performance data history remains unaffected.
Separate carrier totals are kept which can only be retrieved and reset from the network.
Figure 3-11. Performance Counter Screen
The counters used in the performance screens are defined below.
Percent of available seconds
Percent of error free seconds
Continue with standard operation procedures to exit the display.
Since only the user’s copy of performance data is cleared by the T1 ESF CSU ACE, the
data displayed here might be different from the data being sent to the network as
maintenance message data.
2)NI ERR/ALM, Submenu of 1)STATUS
The NI ERR/ALM menu is used for viewing currently active/inactive errors and alarms on the network
Figure 3-12. First Current NI Errors/Alarms Screen
The up and down scroll keys are used to access the complete display of the errors/alarms that are
currently active. The alarms and errors which can be seen are shown below:
No pulses received at NI
Unframed all-ones received at NI
No framing pattern sync at NI
Receiving yellow alarm pattern from NI
LOS (loss of signal)/out of frame (OOF) causing red alarm at NI
Bipolar violations (BPVs), frame bit errors, and cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) errors in ESF or BPVs and frame bit errors in SF were received at
BPVs in SF or ESF at NI
Frame bits received incorrectly at NI
3)NI HISTORY, Submenu of 1)STATUS
The NI History menu is used for viewing the history of errors and alarms on the network interface. If
an alarm has occurred since the last Clear History selection, the menu will be active. If the condition
hasn’t occurred, the menu will be inactive. The Clear History screen is shown in Figure 3-13.
Figure 3-13. Clear History Screen
The conditions reported are the same as those in the NI ERR/ALM submenu but provide historical data
on Alarms/Errors instead of current data on Alarm/Errors.
4)TI ERR/ALM, Submenu of 1)STATUS
The T1 ERR/ALM screens are the same as the NI ERR/ALM screens except that they correspond to
5)TI HISTORY, Submenu of 1)STATUS
The T1 HISTORY screens are the same as the NI HISTORY screens except that they correspond to the
Use the Configuration menu to set the T1 ESF CSU ACE operational configuration, including all of the
network interface parameters and the terminal interface parameters. See Figure 3-14.
Figure 3-14. Configuration Menu Tree
1)NETWORK (NI), Submenu of 2)CONFIG
This menu is used to access the configuration of parameters associated with the network interface in
the T1 ESF CSU ACE. There are nine submenu items that include setting the format and the line build
out (LBO).
Figure 3-15. Network (NI) Submenu
Continue with standard operating procedures to edit the Network Interface parameters.
The fields and parameters available are as follows:
Sets the frame format for the NI. The factory default is ESF.
D4 is equivalent to superframe format (SF).
Sets the line code for the NI. The factory default is B8ZS.
Enables and disables the transmission of yellow alarms. The factory default is ENABLED.
Enables and disables the transmitting of performance report messages (PRM) data on the facility data
link (FDL). The PRM data continues to be collected even if PRM is disabled. (Possible only with
ESF Format.) The factory default is OFF.
Selects framed or unframed keep alive signal to be transmitted from NI when TI is in red alarm. The
factory default is UNFRAMED.
When enabled, bit stuffing causes the T1 ESF CSU ACE to monitor for ones (1s) density violations
and inserts a one (1) when needed to maintain ones at 12.5 percent. This option should be disabled if
B8ZS is enabled. The factory default is DISABLED.
Selects the line build out for the network interface. The factory default is 0 dB.
When interfacing to a Smart jack, the 0 dB setting typically works best because most
Smart jacks expect a strong receive level.
When enabled, the T1 ESF CSU ACE responds to loopback codes from the network interface. The
factory default is ENABLED.
9) ROB BIT SIG
Enables and disables robbed-bit signaling. This option should be enabled in applications when the
terminal interface (TI) is connected to equipment for voice or dialed data services (PBX/SW56).
When enabled, robbed bit signaling will occur in the user specified DS0s. The DS0s must be
contiguous, and are defined by a starting and ending DS0. The factory default is Disabled.
10) RBS START
When robbed-bit signaling is enabled, enter the first DS0 in which robbed-bit signaling will occur
(1-24). The factory default is 1.
11) RBS END
When robbed-bit signaling is enabled, enter the last DS0 in which robbed-bit signaling will occur (124). The factory default is 24.
2)UNIT, Submenu of 2)CONFIG
This menu is used to change control port and alarm trap options. See Figure 3-16.

2)DATA RATE - Selects the data rate for the control port. This should be consistent with the
modem and/or PC/proxy agent serial port. The factory default is 9600.
Used to initialize the method by which the control port handles alarm conditions.
1)TRAPS - This setting determines whether alarm conditions should automatically send alarm
messages (traps) to the controlling PC/proxy agent. The factory default is DISABLED.
2)OUTPUT - Selects whether the alarm traps (if enabled) are sent directly, or whether the telephone number stored in the T1 ESF CSU ACE should be dialed first (industry-standard AT dial
command sent to modem). The factory default is DIRECT.
3)TEL NUM - This is the telephone number dialed for alarm traps transmission. The string can be
up to 20 characters in length and is terminated with a semicolon (;). A colon (:) is used to represent
a pause in the dial string.
Example: Number 9:5551212; would dial 9, pause momentarily, and then send 5551212. This
pause could be effected to access an outside line from a PBX, etc.
When editing a specific character, the scroll keys are used to scroll from 0 to 9, then colon(:) and
semicolon (;). The new telephone number is entered into the T1 ESF CSU ACE only upon pressing ENTER after typing the semicolon (;).
Input - 20 digits (0 through 9, : and ;)
The typed digits are accepted only after pressing ENTER. The telephone numbers can be
cleared by entering a semicolon (;) as the first digit.
3)TERMINAL (TI), Submenu of 2)CONFIG
This menu item is used to select and configure the parameters associated with the T1 ESF CSU ACE
Sets the frame format for the T1. The factory default is ESF.
Sets the line code for the T1. The factory default is B8ZS.
Sets the transmit LBO for the T1. The factory default is 0 - 133 feet.
Use the Utility menu to view and set system parameters. See Figure 3-17. This includes setting the time
and date and resetting all parameters to factory values or to re-initialize the unit. This menu is also used to
view the unit’s software revision and ID setting.
(Displays current software rev.)
(Returns all configurations to
factory settings.)
1)ACCESS TYPE
(Select remote unit type.)
Figure 3-17. Utility Menu Tree
1)SOFTWARE REV, Submenu of 3)UTIL
Use this submenu to display the current software revision level. This information is required when
requesting assistance from ADTRAN Customer Service or when updates are needed. The top line
gives the revision of interest. The bottom line displays information of use to ADTRAN only.
Follow standard operating procedures to access the 3)UTIL menu items.
2)REINIT UNIT, Submenu of 3)UTIL
Use this submenu to re-initialize the unit. This menu item does not restore factory default settings, but
simply resets the unit and causes it to run through its self test and initialization cycles.
3)ADDRESS, Submenu of 3)UTIL
Use this submenu to access the current Unit Address setting. Unit identification numbers must be
between 000 and 999. See Figure 3-18.
Figure 3-18. Re-initialize Unit/Address Screen
4)SET PASSCODE, Submenu of 3)UTIL
Use this submenu to access the passcode setting needed to control port access. The Unit Identification
number is limited to four digits between 0001 and 9999.
5)FACT RESTORE, Submenu of 3)UTIL
Use this submenu to restore factory default settings for all unit parameters. This restores all parameters
6)REMOTE T-WATCH, Submenu of 3)UTIL
To communicate with a far-end unit via the FDL (i.e., from a proxy such as T-Watch), identify the
remote unit as a standalone or rackmount. Use this option to select the remote unit type, ID, and slot
number. The ID and slot number are only applicable if the selected remote unit is rackmount, so these
may be left blank if the remote unit is standalone.
1)ACCESS TYPE (REMOTE UNIT)
1)STANDALONE - The far-end unit is standalone.
2)RACKMOUNT - The far-end is a rackmount.
2)SHELF SNMP ID
Enter the SNMP ID of the far-end rackmount unit (0-255).
3)SHELF SLOT
Enter the slot number of the far-end rackmount unit (1-16).
This type of communication may not be available with all T1 products.
Use the Test menu to initiate different types of tests of the unit and view test results. The menu
contains four sub-items. See Figure 3-19.
The execution of tests disrupts some of the normal operation. See individual menu items
concerning tests before executing.
1)LOCAL LOOPBK
Figure 3-19. Test Menu Tree
Tests are used to control the activation of loopbacks, the initiation of data test patterns, and self test
1)LOCAL LOOPBK, Submenu of 4)TEST
Four choices are available for setting the local loopback:
Deactivates the loopback
Activates the DTE loopback
Activates the line loopback
Activates the payload loopback
Figure 3-20. Local Loopback Test Screen
2)REM LB, Submenu of 4)TEST
Activates the same loopbacks as the LOCAL LOOPBCK but at the far end. This uses either the inband
loop-up code as specified by AT&T 62411 for line loopback (ATT In-Band LLB), or the FDL as
specified in ANSI T1.403 for line loopback codes. An FDL (formerly TABS) maintenance message
corresponding to AT&T TR54016 can be used for payload loopback as well:
Deactivates the loopback.
Activates the line loopback using inband code.
Initiates the transmission of an FDL line loop-up code toward the far end.
Initiates the transmission of the PLB maintenance messages on the FDL.
When a loopback method is selected, the T1 ESF CSU ACE displays LOOPING in the top
right corner of the LCD and the yellow LOOPBACK LED is turned on. When the T1 ESF
CSU ACE determines that the far-end T1 ESF CSU ACE has looped up, the T1 ESF CSU
ACE displays LOOPED. If the T1 ESF CSU ACE does not recognize the remote T1 ESF
CSU ACE looped up after about 10 seconds, the T1 ESF CSU ACE sends the appropriate
loop-down code and displays FAILED, and the LOOPBACK LED is turned off.
Excessive errors on the T1 line can cause this failure. The FDL loopbacks fail if the FDL
is not intact from one end point to the other. FDL loopbacks are valid only in the ESF
3)TEST PATTERN, Submenu of 4)TEST
Sets the pattern for the test and initiates the transmission of the pattern. The test is terminated by
selecting NO PATTERN. There are four patterns available:
Terminates pattern generation.
Generates an all zeros pattern in every channel.
Generates a 1 in 8 pattern in all DS0s.
Generates an all ones pattern in every channel.
To select, for example, 1:8 ALL
DS0s.
To record selection.
The T1 ESF CSU ACE starts to generate a 1:8 test pattern and inserts the
pattern into all DS0s.
4)RUN SELFTEST, Submenu of 4)TEST
Use this menu selection to execute an internal self test. This is the same self test that is performed
automatically at power-up. The results of the self tests are displayed in the LCD (see Figure 3-21).
Upon invoking the command, the LCD displays INITIALIZING and test failures are displayed in the
Figure 3-21. Self Test Result Screen
If a failure is detected, note the failure prior to contacting ADTRAN technical support.
The execution of a self test disrupts normal data flow and prevents remote communication
until the self test is completed (approximately five seconds).

A method of data transmission which allows characters to be sent at irregular intervals by preceding each character with a start bit, followed by a stop bit.
The bandwidth determines the rate at which information can be sent through a channel (the greater the bandwidth, the more information that can be sent in a given amount of time).
backward explicit congestion notification. A bit set by a frame relay network to notify an interface device
(DTE) that congestion avoidance procedures should be initiated by the sending device.
A device that supports LAN-to-LAN communications. Bridges may be equipped to provide frame relay support
to the LAN devices they serve. A frame relay capable bridge encapsulates LAN frames in frame relay frames
and feeds them to a frame relay switch for transmission across the network. A frame relay capable bridge also
receives frame relay frames from the network, strips the frame relay frame off each LAN frame, and passes the
LAN frame on to the end device. Bridges are generally used to connect LAN segments to other LAN segments
or to a WAN. They route traffic on the Level 2 LAN protocol (e.g. the Media Access Control address), which
occupies the lower sub-layer of the LAN OSI data link layer. See also router.

data terminal equipment. The end-user terminal or computer that plugs into the termination point (DCE) of a
communications circuit. The main difference between the DCE and the DTE is that pins two and three are
A process by which an interface device places an end device’s protocol-specific frames inside a frame rely
frame. The network accepts only frames formatted specifically for frame relay; therefore interface devices acting as interfaces to a frame relay network must perform encapsulation. See also interface device or frame relay
capable interface device.
The ultimate source or destination of data flowing through a frame relay network sometimes referred to as
DTE. As a source device, it sends data to an interface device for encapsulation in a frame relay frame. As a destination device, it receives de-encapsulated data (i.e., the frame relay frame is stripped off, leaving only the
user’s data) from the interface device.
frame check sequence. The standard 16-bit cyclic redundancy check used for HDLC and frame relay frames.

Type of communications link that connects a single device to another single device, such as a remote terminal
permanent virtual circuit. A frame relay logical link, whose endpoints and class of service are defined by network management. Analogous to an X.25 permanent virtual circuit, a PVC consists of the originating frame
relay network element address, originating data link control identifier, terminating frame relay network element
address, and termination data link control identifier. Originating refers to the access interface form which the
PVC is initiated. Terminating refers to the access interface at which the PVC stops. Many data network customers require a PVC between two points. Data terminating equipment with a need form continuous communion
