2.2 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
tel: (301) 975-1007
email: [email protected]
The Model 2701RC Series are single port E1/FE1 CSU/DSUs that
provide high-speed WAN connectivity in a rack card package.
Connecting to the serial WAN port of a switch, router or multiplexer, the
NetLink-E1™ provides E1 or FE1 access connection at data rates of
2.048 Mbps and nx64. The Netlink-E1™ is an excellent choice when
terminating leased line services, Frame Relay backbones, internet
access as well as LAN-to-LAN services.
The Netlink-E1™ provides digital access to local WAN services
between two facilities over a dedicated 4-Wire circuit. WAN band-
width, framing and coding options are programmed via internally
accessible DIP switches, via a VT-100 type terminal using a Model
1001CC control card, or SNMP managable through the 1001MC. With
a 1001CC card, a terminal can manage addressable 2701RC cards
using menu driven controls. The Netlink-E1™ uses AMI and HDB3 line
coding. Netlink-E1™ also supports a full range of system and diagnos-
tic features that make system setup easy.
NOTE: Packages received without an RMA number will not be
accepted.
Patton Electronics’ technical staff is also available to answer any
questions that might arise concerning the installation or use of your
Patton Model 2701RC. Technical Services hours: 8AM to 5PM EST,
Monday through Friday.
The NetLink-E1™ provides E1 terminations over a modular RJ-48C
jack or dual 75 Ohm BNC connectors when using the 1001RCM11575.
Power options include a single AC or DC or redundant AC/DC.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
NOTE: If you do not have a terminal, you may force the unit to use the
DIP switches as the default configuration source by turning off the unit,
setting all the DIP switches to the ON position, then powering on the
unit. This will cause the unit to enter a special mode. Then turn off the
unit and change the switch settings to the desired settings. When you
turn the unit on again, the unit will be set up with the selected switch
settings.
The 2701RC features configuration capability via hardware DIP
switches, a software control port, or SNMP through the 1001MC. This
section describes all possible hardware and software switch configura-
tions of the network connection.
NOTE: The 2701RC factory default is set to DIP switch control.
Software control can be enabled either through the control port
or SNMP management station. Performing a hardware reset sets
the unit for dip switch control.
NOTE: The Model 2701RC is set to HDB3 line coding at the
factory: This setting can be changed to AMI via VT-100 menus
(using the 1001CC card) or SNMP Management (using the
1001MC card).
3.1 DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
The Model 2701RC has two eight bit DIP switches and two rotary
DIP switches that allow configuration for a wide range of applications.
The switches are accessed by removing the card from the chassis.

CAS multiframe uses Timeslot 16 (TS16) to send multiframe (MF)
alignment data. In CAS MF, a MF is defined as 16 frames, where a
frame consists of 32 64kb/s timeslots, numbered 0 to 31. TS16 of the
first frame in the MF contains the CAS MF alignment word in the upper
four bits. The alignment word is always 0000 (binary). The 2701RC
does not perform any signaling in TS16 other than to insert the MF
alignment word, in order to maintain MF alignment. When CAS MF dis-
abled, the unit transmits user data in TS16; therefore, up to 31 chan-
nels are available for user data. When it is enabled, TS16 is not avail-
able to the user. In this case, the user can use up to 30 channels for
data. CAS MF can be used with CRC-4 MF or by itself. When enabled,
both units must employ CAS MF; if one unit is set for CAS MF, and the
other is not, the one using CAS MF will detect a loss of sync.

SWITCH S2-2: CRC-4 MULTIFRAME
In framed mode, S2-2 is used for CRC-4 MF. When CRC-4 is enabled,
the unit monitors the incoming data stream for CRC-4 errors. It trans-
mits CRC-4 error counts to the transmitting unit.. When using timeslot
zero (TS0), excessive errors may cause loss of frame or loss of sync.
If CRC-4 MF is used, both units must be set for set for CRC-4 MF.
Otherwise, the one using CRC-4 MF will detect loss of sync.
SWITCH S2-6 FRONT PANEL SWITCHES
As the Front Panel Switches may be inadvertently toggled, or in the
event that the end-user may not need to use the switches, the installer
may disable the front panel switches. Set Switch S2-6 to determine
whether the front-panel toggle switches are enabled or disabled.

forced into G.703 mode, and it transmits user data on all 32 time-
lots. There is no framing information; therefore, the CRC4 MF (S2-
2) switch is ignored. In all other rate settings, the unit employs
G.704 framing; TS0 is reserved for signaling.
SWITCH S2-7 VT-100 OR NMS SELECTION
Switch S2-7 selects the configuration mode that the G.703 Access
Rack Card uses. When VT-100 is selected, configuration and status
can be setup through a VT-100 terminal using a 1001CC. When NMS
(network management station) is selected, configuration and status
can be setup and maintained through SNMP using a 1001MC. Please
refer to the 1001MC user manual when using this mode.
SWITCH S2-3: REMOTE DIGITAL LOOPBACK TYPE
The user can set this switch to select the type of remote loop that
will be initiated by the Model 2701. If set to V.54, the Model 2701 will
initiate a V.54 loop when Remote Loop is selected by the front panel
switches. If set to CSU, the Model 2701 will initiate a CSU loop when
Remote Loop is selected by the front panel switches.
Note: Dip switch configuration can be used regardless of the setting of
this switch. The dip switches are enabled through the VT-100 screens,
NMS, or by performing a hardware reset.

SWITCH S2-4: RDL RESPONSE
Switch S2-8 is used to select the line build out for the Model 2701RC.
When using the 1001RCM11575 (dual BNC) rear card, set S2-8 to
OFF. When using a 120 Ohm cable with RJ-45 connectors, set S2-8 to
ON.
V.54 and CSU Loopbacks are special in-band loopback facility that
sends a pseudo-random pattern over the data stream. This is useful for
campus applications when you need to put a remote unit in loopback.
The unit responds to the V.54 loopback command, and the whole
process takes only a few seconds to complete. When V.54 Loopback
is disabled, the unit will not be able to send or respond to V.54 or CSU
loopback commands. The duration of the loopback is limited by the
loopback timeout setting.

3.2 CONFIGURING THE REAR INTERFACE CARD
Prior to installation, you will need to examine the rear card you
have selected and make sure it is properly configured for your applica-
tion. Each rear card is configured by setting straps located on the PC
board. To configure the rear cards, you must set the configuration
straps. Figure 4 below shows the orientation of these straps. Each
strap can either be on pegs 1 and 2, or on pegs 2 and 3.
The Model 2701RC Series has five interface card options: the
Model 1001RCM12548C (DB-25/RJ-48C), the Model
1001RCM13448C (M/34/RJ-48C), the Model 1001RCM11548C (DB-
15/RJ-48C), the Model 1001RCM11575 (DB-15/Dual BNC). Each of
these options supports one DTE interface connection and one 4-wire
line connection. Figure 3 below illustrates the five different interface
options for the Model 2701RC Series.

the network performance, initiate V.54 loops, local loops, and
send test patterns. Network performance parameters are
updated once a second, giving you the ability to quickly deter-
mine if there is a problem.

Unit Options allow you to customize the Model 2701RC for
your location. You can change the default header names to
give each unit a unique name and password. Also, you can
reset the unit to its default settings without the manual. It also
has a Service Information screen in case you need technical
assistance from Patton.

Options: G.703, G.704
G.703: G.703 is unframed, 2.048Mb/s. In this case, the DTE rate
is equal to the line rate at the network interface (NI). CAS MF
and CRC-4 are disabled.
G.704: G.704 reserves TS0 for signaling and frame alignment.
Maximum data rate depends on whether CAS MF is enabled
or not.

22
Clocking: Network (default)
d
b
Line Coding: HDB3 (default)
Options:
Network, Internal, External
Options: AMI, HDB3
Network: This is the most commonly used setting when connect-
ing to a carrier’s network. In this mode, the unit recovers the
clock from the received signal and uses it to transmit data. In
this way the unit remains synchronized to a master clock. In
campus applications, one of the units must be set to Internal
clock, and the other end is set to Network clock. At all times,
there must be only one clock source. Otherwise, clock slips
and framing errors and bit errors may occur.
HDB3: In this line coding, the transmitter substitutes a deliberate
bipolar violation when excessive zeros in the data stream are
detected. The receiver recognizes these special violations and
decodes them as zeros. This method enables the network to
meet minimum pulse density requirements. Unless AMI is
required in your application, HDB3 should be used whenever
possible.
AMI: Alternate Mark Inversion defines a pulse as a "mark,” a
binary one, as opposed to a zero. In a E1 network connection,
signals are transmitted as a sequence of ones and zeros.
Ones are sent as pulses, and zeros are sent as spaces, i.e.,
no pulse. Every other pulse is inverted from the previous
pulse in polarity, so that the signal can be effectively transmit-
ted. This means, however, that a long sequence of zeros in
the data stream will cause problems, since the NTU receiving
the signal relies on the signal to recover the 2.048 Mb/s clock.
If you must use AMI, you should ensure that the data terminal
equipment connected to the unit provides a minimally accept-
able pulse density. For this reason, there are advantages to
using HDB3 instead.
Internal: This is commonly used in campus applications, where
the unit is not connected to the public telephone network
directly. In this mode, the unit uses the on-board oscillator as
the transmit clock source.
External: In this mode, the unit requires a clock signal from the
DTE via the external clock pin on the DTE interface connec-
tor. Most applications will use Network or Internal clock
modes.
Line Build Out: 120 Ohm (default)
Options: 120 Ohm, 75 Ohm
e
120 Ohm: Use with 120 Ohm RJ-48C connector.
75 Ohm: Use with the 1001RCM11575 rear card. (Dual BNC
connectors)
f
CRC-4 Setting: Disabled (default)
Options: Enabled, Disabled
CRC-4 Multiframe: CRC-4 Multiframe uses TS0 to carry CRC-4
information. It operates independently of CAS MF. When
CRC-4 is enabled, the unit monitors the incoming data stream
for CRC-4 errors. It transmits CRC-4 error counts to the trans-
mitting unit . Excessive errors may cause loss of frame or loss
of sync. If CRC-4 MF is used, both units must be set for CRC-
4 MF; otherwise, the one using CRC-4 MF will detect a loss of
sync.
24
23
CAS MF Setting: Disabled (default)
NOTE: If you do not have a terminal, you may force the unit to use the
DIP switches as the default configuration source by turning off the unit,
setting all the DIP switches to the ON position, then powering on the
unit. This will cause the unit to enter a special mode. Then turn off the
unit and change the switch settings to the desired settings. When you
turn the unit on again, the unit will be set up with the selected switch
settings.
Options: Enabled, Disabled
g
CAS MF: CAS multiframe uses Timeslot 16 (TS16) to send multi-
frame (MF) alignment data. In CAS MF, a MF is defined as 16
frames, where a frame consists of 32 64kb/s timeslots, num-
bered 0 to 31. TS16 of the first frame in the MF contains the
CAS MF alignment word in the upper four bits. The alignment
word is always 0000 (binary). The 2715 does not perform any
signaling in TS16 other than to insert the MF alignment word,
in order to maintain MF alignment. When CAS MF disabled,
the unit transmits user data in TS16; therefore, up to 31 chan-
nels are available for user data. When it is enabled, TS16 is
not available to the user. In this case, the user can use up to
30 channels for data. CAS MF can be used with CRC-4 MF or
by itself. When enabled, both units must employ CAS MF; if
one unit is set for CAS MF, and the other is not, the one using
CAS MF will detect a loss of sync.

2,048k/na] (default)
The Channel Configuration Menu has a sub-menu that looks
like this:
i
V.54 Loops: Enabled (default)
Options: Enabled, Disabled
This is a special in-band loopback facility that sends a special pseudo-
random pattern over the data stream. This is the only loopback that the
unit can initiate. This is useful for campus applications when you need
to put a remote unit in loopback. The unit responds to the V.54 loop-
back command, and the whole process takes only a few seconds to
complete. When V.54 Loopback is disabled, the unit will not be able to
send or respond to V.54 loopback commands. The duration of the loop-
back is limited by the loopback timeout setting. While V.54 is being
activated, user data is overwritten.
2701RC
You may configure the Model 2701RC to operate with any combination
of active and inactive DS0 channels in this screen. When you execute
the Save Changes command, the selected settings will be saved to
permanent memory, and the system will be updated to operate with the
new channel settings.
j
Default Config Source: Switch (default)
Options: EEPROM, Switch
The Model 2701RC can be initialized via the configuration in the on-
board permanent memory (EEPROM) or via the internal DIP switches
(Switch). Once the unit is powered up, you may change the settings
through the control port or the DIP switches. When you make changes
through the control port, no changes will take place or be saved to per-
manent memory until you Save Changes (Main Menu option "d" +
[Enter]). When you make changes through the switches, all changes
are made immediately.
NOTE: In Unframed format, the Bandwidth Selected will display
“2.048k,” and the Total Channels will display “na.” When using the
DIP switches to set the bandwidth, the starting channel is always
channel 1 or 0.

Service Information
f
This section describes the functions of the Model 1001R14 rack
chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 2701RC Series cards
into the chassis, and how to connect to the twisted pair interface and
the serial interface.
If you need to contact us for help, you can view the Service Information
screen. Here is what it looks like:
4.1 THE MODEL 1001R14 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1001R14 Rack Chassis (Figure 9, below) has fourteen
or sixteen device card slots, plus a single power supply or dual redun-
dant power supplies. Measuring only 3.5 high, the Model 1001R14 is
designed to occupy only 2U in a 19 rack. Sturdy front handles allow
the Model 1001R14 to be extracted and transported conveniently.
2701RC
Figure 9. Model 1001R14 Rack Chassis with power supply
4.1.1 The Rack Power Supply
The power supply included in the Model 1001R14 rack uses the
same mid-plane architecture as the modem cards. The front card of
the power supply slides in from the front, and the rear card slides in
from the rear. They plug into one another in the middle of the rack.
The front card is then secured by thumb screws and the rear card by
conventional metal screws.
WARNING! There are no user-servicable parts in the
power supply section of the Model 1001R14 rack. Voltage
setting changes and fuse replacement should only be per-
formed by qualified service personnel. Contact Patton
Electronics Technical Support at (301)975-1000 for more
information.

Powering up Your 1001R14 Rack
3. Locate the correct interface on the bottom of the driver board.
For example, the RS-232/V.35 interface board is marked
THIS SIDE UP FOR V.35 on one side and THIS SIDE UP
FOR RS-232 on the other side. Other single interface
boards (e.g. RS-530) are marked with the with FRONT on
one side of the board.
The power supplies that come with your 1001R14 rack system are
equipped with a power entry connector on the rear power supply card.
The power supplies are Hot-Swappable, so you are not required to
remove the cards from the rack while applying power to the system.
NOTE: Please refer to the Model 1001R14 Series User Manual
AC and DC Rack Mount Power Supplies for fuse and power card
replacement information.
4. Re-orient the interface board into the socket with the appropri-
ate interface pointed UP and with the arrow pointing toward
the front panel of the Model 2701RC pc board.
4.2 INSTALLING THE INTERFACE DRIVER BOARD
5. Push the Interface Driver Board gently onto the socket and re-
install into the 1001 rack.
The DTE electrical interface on the 2701RC is determined by a
DTE daughter board that is mounted on the main board by a 20 pin
jumper. Figure 10 shows the Interface Driver Board on the top of the
2701RC main board.
4.3 INSTALLING THE MODEL 2701RC INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 2701RC is comprised of a front card and a rear card.
The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other
by way of mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the following
steps as a guideline for installing each Model 2701RC into the rack
chassis:
Interface Driver
Board
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the
metal rails provided.
2. Secure the rear card using the metal screws provided.
3. Slide the card into the front of the chassis. It should meet the
rear card when it s almost all the way into the chassis.
4. Push the front card gently into the card-edge receptacle of the
FRONT RS-530
rear card. It should click into place.
5. Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
NOTE: Since the Model 1001R14 chassis allows hot swapping
of cards, it is not necessary to power down the rack when you
install or remove a Model 2701RC.
Figure 10. Interface Driver Board
Follow the instructions below to install or change the correct inter-
face for your application.
4.4 CONNECTING TO A DTE DEVICE
1. With the 2701RC front card pulled out of the rack chassis,
locate the driver board on top of the 2701RC front card.
The serial port on most rear interface cards are hard-wired as
DCE (Data Circuit Terminating Equipment). The interfaces are
designed to plug into a DTE such as a terminal, PC or host computer.
When making the connection to your DTE device, use a straight
through cable of the shortest possible length--we recommend 6 feet or
less. When purchasing or constructing an interface cable, please refer
to the pin diagrams in Appendix D and Appendix E as guides.
2. Lift the interface drive board gently off the main PC board.
35
36
4.5 CONNECTING TO A DCE DEVICE
5.0 OPERATION
The rear interface cards on most interface modules are hard wired
as DCE . Therefore, you must use a null modem cable when con-
necting to a modem, multiplexer or other DCE device. This cable
should be of the shortest possible length--we recommend 6 feet or
less. When purchasing or constructing a null modem interface cable,
use the pin diagrams in Appendix C as a guide.
Once the NetLink-E1™ is installed and configured properly it is
ready to place into operation. This section describes the function of
the LED indicators, and the use of the loopback and pattern test
modes.
5.1 LED DESCRIPTIONS
NOTE: Pin-out requirements for null modem applications
vary between equipment manufacturers. If you have any
questions about a specific installation, please contact Patton
Electronics Technical Support.
The NetLink-E1™ is equipped with nine LED indicators that monitor
the status of communication. Figure 12 (below) shows the location of
the LEDs on the NetLink-E1™ Series front panel.
4.6 CONNECTING THE E1 INTERFACE
Model 2701RC
The Network Line Interface is an eight position keyed modular jack
configured as a RJ-48C. This interface will need to be configured to
match the line parameters (i.e. framing, line coding, etc.) supplied by
the central office.

loses synchronization with the incoming sig-
nal. This may happen when there is a fram-
ing mismatch or a loss of signal. In
In addition to the 120 Ohm twisted pair connection, the Model
2701RC, when used with the 1001RCM11575 rear card, is equipped
with dual female BNCs (TX and RX) for connection to a 75 ohm dual
coax G.703 network interface.

5.2 LOOP (V.54 & TELCO) DIAGNOSTICS
The NetLink-E1™ offers three V.54 loop diagnostics and is com-
patible with two Telco loop diagnostics. Use these diagnostics to test
the CSU/DSU and any communication links. These tests can be acti-
vated via the software control port (See Section 3.2.3 System
Diagnostics), via signals on the serial port interface or the front panel
switch.
ALM
The alarm LED indicates the presence of a
Blue or Yellow Alarm, or Out of Frame con-
dition. The ALM LED will blink on every half-
second. Alarms may occur due to:
• Loss of Synchronization
• Loss of Frame
• AIS (Blue Alarm)
5.2.1 Operating Local Loopback (LL)
• RAI (Yellow Alarm)
The Local Loopback (LL) test checks the operation of the local
NetLink-E1™, and is performed separately on each unit. Any data
sent to the local NetLink-E1™ in this test mode will be echoed
(returned) back to the user device (i.e., characters typed on the key-
board of a terminal will appear on the terminal screen).
ERR
The error LED indicates various error condi-
tions, including framing bit errors, excessive
zeros, controlled slips, severe errors, or bit
errors (when sending V.52 test patterns).
When sending a test pattern, the LED will
remain lit if the unit does not receive the
identical pattern. When it receives the cor-
rect pattern, the LED will turn off. If error
insertion is on, the LED will blink once a
second if everything is operating properly.

2. Verify that the data terminal equipment is operating properly
and can be used for a test.
b. Activate the RL signal on the DTE. If you are not sure
which lead is the RL signal, please refer to Appendix D.
3. Perform a V.52 BER (bit error rate) test as described in
Section 5.3. If the BER test equipment indicates no faults,
but the data terminal indicates a fault, follow the manufactur-
er s checkout procedures for the data terminal. Also, check
the interface cable between the terminal and the NetLink-E1.
c. Set the front panel switch to Remote .
2. Perform a bit error rate test (BERT) using the internal V.52
generator (as described in Section 5.3), or using a separate
BER Tester. If the BER test indicates a fault, and the Local
Line Loopback test was successful for both NetLink“s, you
may have a problem with the twisted pair line connection.
5.2.2 Operating Remote Digital Loopback (RL)
The Remote Digital Loopback (RL) test checks the performance of
both the local and remote NetLink-E1™, as well as the communication
link between them. Any characters sent to the remote NetLink-E1™ in
this test mode will be returned back to the originating device (i.e, char-
acters typed on the keyboard of the local terminal will appear on the
local terminal screen after having been passed to the remote NetLink-
E1™ and looped back).
5.2.3 CSU Loop
The NetLink-E1“ also responds to central office initiated loop com-
mands. The NetLink-E1“ will implement the loop up command
when it recognizes the pattern 10000 in the data stream for a mini-
mum of 5 seconds. The loop down command is implemented by the
pattern 100 in the data stream for a minimum of 5 seconds.

RDL Initiated
When a 511, 2047, or QRSS test is invoked, the NetLink-E1™ gen-
erates a pseudo-random bit pattern of 511 bits, 2047 bits or 220 bits,
respectively, using a mathematical polynomial. The receiving NetLink-
E1™ then decodes the received bits using the same polynomial. If the
received bits match the agreed upon pseudo-random pattern, then the
NetLink-E1™(s) and the communication link(s) are functioning properly.
Figure 8. Remote Loopback
There are two Remote Loops that can be initiated from the
NetLink-E1 unit: (1) V.54 Loop, and; (2)CSU Loop. The user can
select the type of loop that can be initiated from the System
Diagnostics/Statistics screen or with Switch S2-1. Select c RDL
Type and press the <spacebar> to toggle between the CSU loop and
the V.54 loop. When a loopback is initiated this is the type of loop that
the unit uses to loop up the remote unit. NOTE: The NetLink-E1 will
respond to both loops regardless of the state of the RDL Type.
511
Initiates a built-in 511 bit pseudo-random
pattern generator and detector.
2047
QRSS
Initiates a built-in 2047 bit pseudo-random
pattern generator and detector.
