To avoid electric shock, be careful when working near HDSL4 loop connections or
telecommunications circuits. Be careful when working near power supplies. Soneplex
equipment uses -48 Vdc office power and some remote HDSL4 equipment uses -130 Vdc.
Coming in contact with high electrical potential will result in death or severe personal injury.
The chassis must be properly grounded to ensure human and equipment safety.
To prevent electrical shock, never install telephone equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm. When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines on the network
side before working with uninsulated lines or terminals.
Electronic components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before handling
modules, wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic components.
Place components in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When working on
components, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically grounded.

LTPS-UM-8054-01 Overview
LPS-H4TU-C-L5 December 3, 2003 1
OVERVIEW
The LPS-H4TU-C-L5 Central Office (CO) module is a low-power, plug-in unit that installs in a Soneplex
Broadband Chassis or Soneplex Loop Extender Chassis at the central office. Hereinafter referred to as the
H4LXC, this CO module provides DS1/HDSL4 signal conversion, and status and alarm reporting. The module is
only compatible with the H4TU-R-402-5A remote module.
The LPS-H4TU-C, when used in conjunction with an H4TU-R-402-5A remote unit (H4LXR), provides 1.544
Mbps full-duplex T1 transmission on two unconditioned copper pairs over the full Carrier Service Area (CSA)
range. The CSA includes loops of up to 16,000 feet on 24 AWG wire or 12,000 feet on 26 AWG wire, including
bridged taps.
FEATURES
•Remote provisioning of the line through the H4LXR
•Status Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for Digital Signal Level 1 (DS1) and HDSL4 interfaces
•Lightning and power cross-protection on HDSL4 and DS1 interfaces
•1.544 Mbps full-duplex transmission on one unconditioned copper pair
•34 kft range with two H4D repeaters (using 26 AWG copper)
•Ultra-low wander (0.26 UI)
•Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) or Bipolar with 8-Zero Substitution (B8ZS) line code
•Unframed, Superframe (SF), or Extended Superframe (ESF) frame format
•Dual (bi-directional) loopbacks (initiated from H4LXC front panel, H4LXR front panel, or SCU craft screen)
The H4LXC functions and features described in this manual are supported by Shelf Controller
Unit (SCU) Software Version 3.5 through 4.1.1. For information about this card when running
under SCU v5.0 and higher, refer to LTPS-UM-8068-xx.
DS1 is used throughout this document to refer to either the remote unit’s DS1 interface or the
line unit’s DSX-1 interface.

HDSL4 SHELF COMPATIBILITY
The LPS-H4TU-C is designed to mount in the LEC or Broadband chassis. For a list of compatible doublers (see
Table 1).
HDSL4 MODULE COMPATIBILITY
The LPS-H4TU-C module is only compatible with the H4TU-R-402-5A remote module and the H4D-409-L2
doubler units. Refer to the H4D installation document LTPS-QI-1120-xx for more information on doubler
operational procedures. Table 1 shows the various transmission distances possible with and without doublers.
APPLICATIONS
HDSL4 systems provide a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy method for delivering T1 High Capacity Digital Service
(HCDS) over two pair of wires. HDSL4 systems support a multitude of network connections.
•The service is deployed over two unconditioned, non-loaded copper pair at 784 kps per loop.
•Conventional, inline DS1 repeaters are no longer required.
•Cable pair conditioning, pair separation, and bridged tap removal are not required.
For Span 1, each loop has no more than 47 dB of loss at 196 kHz, with driving and terminating impedances of
135Ω; for Span 2 and Span 3, each loop has no more than 43 dB of loss at 196 kHz. In general, HDSL4 systems:
•Operate effectively in the same cable binder group with other HDSL4 lines, HDSL, T1, ADSL, SDSL, POTS,
Digital Data Service (DDS), and other transmission schemes.
Can be used with customers requiring DS1 service on a temporary or permanent basis.

LTPS-UM-8054-01 Installation
LPS-H4TU-C-L5 December 3, 2003 5
INSTALLATION
This section provides instructions for installing the H4LXC module and performing initial turnup. This includes
testing the earth ground potential of the H4LXR remote enclosure, testing the local power supply, and verifying
successful completion of self-test diagnostics. This procedure assumes that the chassis and remote enclosure have
been mounted, and that all wiring to the chassis and remote enclosure has been completed.
To install and turn up the H4LXC:
1Open the shipping carton, carefully unpack the module from the protective packing material, and inspect the
module.
2Check each component against the packing list to verify that the correct catalog numbers and quantities were
received.
3Align the card with the card-slot guides and slide it into the chassis. Grasping the card lever, gently lift the
card and hook the latch on the lip of the chassis (Figure 2 on page 6 shows an example of installing a module),
then pull up on the lever to seat the card. If excessive resistance is encountered, remove the module and check
for obstructions or improper alignment.
Never install telephone equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm. When installing
or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network interface before working with
uninsulated lines or terminals to prevent electrical shock.
Wear an antistatic wrist strap to prevent damage to module components. Place modules in
antistatic packing material when transporting or storing.
To comply with the intrabuilding wiring requirements of GR-1089 CORE, Section 4.5.9, the
shields of the ABAM-type cables that connect the CO line card DSX-1 output ports to the
cross-connect panel must be grounded at both ends.
If possible, install the H4LXC and perform T1 provisioning before installing the H4LXR. The
H4LXC must be EQUIPPED and T1 Provisioning set to YES before any provisioning can be
performed at the H4LXR. The H4LXR craft interface can then be used to place the facility into
service (including unit, T1, and HDSL4 service states) after turnup testing is complete.
If the equipment has been damaged in transit, immediately report the extent of damage to the
transportation company and to ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Contact ADC if there are any
damages or irregularities. See “Appendix B - Product Support” on page 39 for procedures.

Installation LTPS-UM-8054-01

Figure 2. Example of Installing the H4LXC into a chassis
4Following module insertion the STAT LED lights red, indicating that power is on. The STAT LED then lights
yellow, indicating the start of self-test diagnostics. All LEDs momentarily light yellow, then go out (except
for the STAT LED, which remains yellow).
Following successful completion of self-test diagnostics, the front-panel LEDs appear as follows:
•STAT: Green indicates successful completion of self-test diagnostics.
•RMT ALM: Off or yellow when the HDSL4 LOSW/BER LED is red.
•LBK: Off
•DS1 LOS/BER: Off, red, or yellow (see Table 3 on page 7 for details).
•H4 CONT/SNR: Off
•L1 or L2 LOSW/BER: Red or flashing red (for up to 90 seconds) until the HDSL4 loop is synchronized,
then green. If an intermittent CRC error is detected on the HDSL4 loop, a yellow flash will be observed.
5If the LED indicators respond as described, proceed to Step 6; otherwise, refer to “Turnup Troubleshooting”
on page 7 to isolate the problem.
6Assuming that a working SCU resides in the CO chassis, press the LMPTST switch on the APU to verify that
all the LEDs on the H4LXC front-panel light yellow; this indicates that the LEDs are functional.
7If all LEDs do not light yellow, the H4LXC is considered defective. Remove the H4LXC module, replace it
with a new module, then repeat Steps 2 through 6.
8Before installing the associated H4LXR, connect a maintenance terminal to the SCU craft port (see
“Connecting a Maintenance Terminal to the Craft Port” on page 8), logon the SCU craft interface (see
“H4LXC Status Display” on page 13), and set the H4LXC Unit Equip State to EQUIPPED and T1
Provisioning to YES (see “H4LXC Configuration” on page 16).

Provisioning LTPS-UM-8054-01
12 December 3, 2003 LPS-H4TU-C-L5
PROVISIONING
The primary source for H4LXC and H4LXR provisioning is the SCU’s Unit Configuration screen (see Figure 9
on page 16). The secondary provisioning source for the H4LXR is the craft port interface menus available at the
H4LXR. The H4LXR craft menus enable the user to alter a subset of the H4LXR provisioning values selectable
at the H4LXC. For H4LXR provisioning items that are alterable in the craft port interface menus, the H4LXR
communicates provisioning changes back to the H4LXC. All provisioning values which can be altered by the
H4LXR craft port interface will remain in the state that was last set at either the H4LXR or H4LXC.
Perform the following procedures in the order listed to provision the H4LXC.
1Logon to the craft interface (as described in “Logging On to the Craft Maintenance Interface” on page 9).
2Display H4LXC status information (as described in “H4LXC Status Display” on page 13).
3Configure the H4LXC circuit (as described in “H4LXC Configuration” on page 16).
4View the Performance Monitoring Reports (as described in “Performance Monitoring Reports” on page 20).
5Display the Inventory Status screen (as described in “Inventory Status Display” on page 23).
6Reset the H4LXC (as described in “Reset/LED Test Commands” on page 24).
USING SCU V3.6.2 SOFTWARE
When using SCU v.3.6.2 software, please take note of the following differences to the screen contents:
•Any reference to H4LX will not be present. Specifically, the “Shelf Status” will read “H” rather than “4” for
HDSL4.
•The “Loopback Timeout” settings will revert to the fixed values after a + (refresh) is performed
(see Table 6).
•The “T1 Framing Format” will display a value of “Ft Only,” but if selected, after a + (refresh), it
will revert to “Unframed.”
•“SNR Values” outside the range of 0 to 15 will be either 0 (if previously negative) or 15 (if previously >15)
after a + (refresh), and cannot be disabled.
•The “HDSL PA Threshold” must be 1 to +40 (not 0 to +50) and cannot be disabled.
•If “LBO” is set to 22.5, it will revert back to it’s previous setting after a + (refresh). When the LBO
is set to “UNIT SWITCH” it reverts to 0.0 after a + (refresh).
•An “HDSL BER Threshold” setting of 1E-4 or 1E-5 changes to 1E-6 after a + (refresh) and cannot
be disabled.
•The “T1 BER Threshold” cannot be disabled.
•A “Customer Loopback” will appear as both a Customer and Network loopback in the Loopback Status and
Trouble Isolation screens.
