ABOUT THE PRODUCT 1 The PairGain® Campus-HRS™ (HDSL Rate Selectable) CSU/DS-1 and CSU/DSX-1 interface cards provide a connection between a High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) and a network or other digital equipment. They enhance the interface cards for the Campus-Star® chassis and Campus-RS Desktop Units by providing a T1 or fractional T1 connection to a data network.
About the Product The front-panel LEDs on the chassis indicate the transmission status of the T1 (CSU/DS-1 card) or DSX-1 (CSU/DSX-1 card) line, the HDSL line, and alarm conditions. The interface card installed in the Campus-RS Desktop Unit or Campus-Star chassis comprises half of the HDSL transmission system. When connected to another Campus-RS or to a Campus-T1® Desktop Unit or Line Unit, the Campus-RS system can transport digitized voice, data, and video signals over existing copper wire at T1 rate.
About the Product DATA PORT CONFIGURATION T1 transport provides for full-duplex transmission and reception of DS-1 signal over unconditioned twisted-pair copper wiring. The signal can be either long-haul DS-1 (up to 6 kft) using the Campus CSU/DS-1 card, or short-haul DSX-1 (<655 ft) using the Campus CSU/DSX-1 card. You can configure the following operating parameters for the data ports: • DS0 channel time slot assignments • equalization • line code (AMI or B8ZS) • line build-out per ANSI T1.
About the Product Unlike other Campus-RS products, the Campus-RS CSU/DS-1 and CSU/DSX-1 support only Standard Mode T1 and 768 (single pair) rates. To connect the Campus-HRS CSU/DS-1 or CSU/DSX-1 to a different Campus-RS product, you must set the following configuration options on the remote interface card: • Set the HDSL Operating Mode to Standard Mode • Set the Standard Mode HDSL Rate to T1 or 768 See the remote interface card user manual to set these configuration options.

TESTING THE SYSTEM USING LOOPBACK TESTS 6 The Campus-RS CSU/DS-1 and CSU/DSX-1 Interface Cards support a complete set of loopback functions that allow you to test the data communication path between the host equipment, the Campus unit, and the remote unit. You can use either the LCD menu or an ASCII terminal to initiate loopback tests directly from the Campus unit. The Campus unit can also be configured to respond to in-band or data link loopback commands transmitted on the DS-1 or DSX-1 interface.
Testing the System Using Loopback Tests The following loopback tests are supported: • DS-1/DSX-1 Line Loopback • DS-1/DSX-1 Payload Loopback • Local Data Port toward Remote Data Port • Remote Data Port toward Local Data Port • Remote Data Port toward Remote Data Port • DS-1/DSX-1 Far-end Loopback The following sections describe each type of loopback. DS-1/DSX-1 Line Loopbacks The DS-1/DSX-1 Line loopback tests the complete 1.
Testing the System Using Loopback Tests Remote to Local Loopback The Remote to Local loopback tests the local data port, entire data path inside the local Campus unit, the HDSL line, and the HDSL transceivers of both units and most of the internal data path inside the remote unit. Use this loopback to verify that the HDSL line is operational and that the HDSL transceiver of the remote unit is operational. This loopback also tests the same areas as the Local to Local and Local HDSL loopbacks.
Testing the System Using Loopback Tests Clearing Loopbacks Manually You can clear a loopback from either the LCD menu or an ASCII terminal. To use the LCD front panel, see “Initiating and Clearing Loopback Conditions” on page 3-18. To use an ASCII terminal, see “Terminating All Loopbacks” on page 4-28. Setting Loopback Timeout When using a loopback, there is a possibility that it will be forgotten. If this happens, the communication link remains down.
Testing the System Using Loopback Tests Data link (out of band) loop codes are valid in ESF framing mode. The Campus unit will activate and deactivate the DS-1 Line Loopback or DS-1 Payload Loopback in response to standard ANSI T1.403 data link code words. The card can be configured to respond to either in-band loop codes, data link loop codes, both types (default setting), or neither.

TESTING THE SYSTEM (LOOPBACK TESTS) 7 The Campus-RS CSU/DS-1 and CSU/DSX-1 Interface Cards supports a complete set of loopback functions that allow you to test the data communication path between the host equipment, the Campus unit, and the remote unit. You can use either the LCD and menu buttons or an ASCII terminal to initiate loopback tests. To use an LCD to initiate a loopback, see page “Configuring Loopbacks” on page 4-26.
Testing the System (Loopback Tests) Local to Local Loopbacks The Local to Local loopback verifies that the local host equipment, local data cable, and local interface card are installed and configured properly. The remote host equipment is not involved in this type of loopback. Remote to Local Loopbacks The Remote to Local loopback tests the selected remote data port, the entire data path inside the local and remote Campus units, the HDSL line, and the HDSL transceiver of both units.
Testing the System (Loopback Tests) CLEARING LOOPBACKS You can clear a loopback test in the following two ways: • cancel the loopback manually from either the LCD or an ASCII terminal • set the Loopback Timeout option to cancel the loopback automatically after a set period of time Clearing Loopbacks Manually You can clear a loopback from either the LCD or an ASCII terminal. To use the LCD, see “Clearing Loopbacks Manually” on page 6-4.
Testing the System (Loopback Tests) V.54 LOOPBACK SUPPORT The Campus-RS CSU/DS-1 and CSU/DSX-1 Interface Cards supports V.54compliant loopbacks. This lets you initiate loopback tests from a V.54capable host device. Before you can use V.54 loopbacks, you must enable V.54 loopback support. To do so through the LCD menu, see “Setting Loopback Timeout” on page 6-4. To do so through an ASCII terminal, see “Setting a Loopback Timeout” on page 4-28. The V.

CI AND NI CONFIGURATIONS ANSI standard T1.403 defines the requirements for a DS1 metallic interface, also called the network interface (NI), for a network-to-customer installation (CI). This standard defines the physical and electrical characteristics of a device that is configured either as NI or CI. For the Campus-RS CSU/DS-1 and CSU/DSX-1 Interface Cards, the NI and CI settings do not affect the physical characteristics of the interface, such as input gain, transmit power, and so on.
