OVERVIEW
The HiGain®Multiplexer Unit HXU-357 List 1 is the newest generation of
broadband multiplexers. It offers a low-cost multiplexing solution that
features low-power consumption and a data transfer rate of 45 mbps. The
HXU-357 is designed for HiGain Wideband 3190s that provide a complete
T1 delivery system using a standard open architecture system in a 23-inch
rack space. These HiGain systems multiplex DS1 channels into a single,
industry-standard DS3 data channel. The HXU-357 is capable of transmitting
and receiving up to 28 DS1 signals over a DS3 interface. It also displays
standard office alarms (Figure 1).
When used in a protection configuration comprised of two multiplexers (one
active and the other as a standby), each card monitors the integrity of the user
data and automatically switches out a faulty unit.

HXU-357 List 1 February 9, 1999 5
Functional Overview
Transmit Signal Flow
In the transmit direction, the HXU-357 takes the 28 incoming bipolar,
asynchronous, Tl low-speed signals, and adds line conditioning. It then
multiplexes the signals with DS3 overhead data and stuffing bits to produce
an industry-standard DS3 data stream.
The DS3 data and timing signals are converted into a signal for coaxial
interface to external equipment. In a 1:1 protection configuration, the
microprocessor on each card monitors the integrity of the transmit data signal
from the active (primary) and standby card and communicates with the other
to determine the online card.
Receive Signal Flow
In the receive direction, the HXU-357 converts the incoming DS3 signal into
clock and data signals for interface to the demultiplexer circuitry. In a 1:1
protection configuration, the microprocessor on each card monitors the
integrity of the receive data signal and communicates with the other to
determine the online card.
The demultiplexer circuitry receives the DS3 data and timing signals and
demultiplexes them into the 28 DS1 signals. All stuffing bits added for bit
synchronization at the transmitting end of the system are deleted from the
data stream prior to line signal encoding.
Protection Switching
In a 1:1 protected configuration, the primary card is defined as the active or
online card. The secondary card is the standby. The microprocessors on each
card communicate with each other to determine active and standby status.
When a card fails, either because the external watch dog timer timed-out or
because the software detected a failure of the hardware, a priority switch is
initiated. If the failure is on the primary card, a priority switch to the
secondary card occurs. Priority switching occurs from the secondary card to
the primary card and, if necessary, back again until the fault is corrected or
more than three switches occur in a 10-minute period.

150-357-200-02, Issue 2 Overview
HXU-357 List 1 February 9, 1999 7
Alarm Drivers
The microprocessor drives the alarm relays for the multiplexer unit. The relay
outputs are wire-ORed from both cards on the back left side of the Wideband
System 3190 chassis and are read by the HMU, which in turn combines this
information to generate Critical, Major, Minor, and Far-End alarm outputs.

Interfaces
Address/Data Bus
A bidirectional data bus controls the transfer of data to and from the
microprocessor in response to the state of the read/write control line.
The alarm inputs to the HXU-357 multiplexer card enter at the data bus.
When an alarm signal is received, the corresponding alarm LED on the front
panel of the HXU-357 illuminates. The HXU-357 sends independent alarm
signals to activate critical (CR), major (MJ), minor (MN), and far-end (FE)
alarm relays on the HMU-319 List 7 or List 7A management unit.
HiGain Management Unit Interface
The multiplexer card interfaces with the HMU over a serial RS-232 interface.
The HMU provisions the system parameters (for example, setting the BER
threshold), performs maintenance tasks, and monitors system status.
DS1 Interface
The DS1 signals enter the HXU as balanced, half-width bipolar waveforms
where they are converted to DS1 NRZ data and clock signals by the T1 Line
Interface Unit (LIU). (See Figure 3 on page 4.) The LIU also provides BPV
detection and loopback functions.
Signals transmitted by the HXU are converted back to bipolar DSX-1 before
they are presented to the 28 Tip and Ring interfaces on the card.
The Line Protection block provides high-voltage protection and a line
protection switch.

150-357-200-02, Issue 2 Overview
HXU-357 List 1 February 9, 1999 9
Microprocessor
The microprocessor reads and writes data to the bidirectional data bus using
a system clock of 40 MHz divided down to 20 MHz.
The microprocessor performs arithmetic and logic operations as directed and
monitors various alarm point functions throughout the multiplexer. These
tasks include:
•illuminating appropriate fault and status indicators on the circuit card.
•using lockout software to isolate a fault condition to a specific card,
thereby suppressing down-line faults due to sympathetic alarm
conditions.
•performing automatic switching from the defective multiplexer card to
the standby card.
•calculating DS3 BER for the online and offline cards.
•calculating the bipolar violation (BPV) errored-seconds performance for
each DS1 low-speed input and DS3 channel inputs.
•providing remotealarm reporting,externaltothemultiplexer,usingrelay
contact closures to indicate major, minor, critical, abnormal and far-end
alarm conditions.
Microprocessor System Software
The microprocessor system software supports the following operational,
administrative, maintenance and provisioning features:
•performance management: retrieves and schedules all performance
management parameters, thresholds and histories.
•configuration management: enters, edits, deletes, and retrieves
provisionable parameters.
•fault management: clears and views current alarms, views 100-event
alarm history log.
•system administration: logs in, initializes, edits password, and manages
user names.

Overview 150-357-200-02, Issue 2

•controls: operates and releases controls, including loopback and
switching.
•Simple Management Network Protocol (SNMP): supports both standard
and proprietary Management Information Bases (MIBs); supports
SNMP version I and MIB II.
Multiplexer / Demultiplexer Circuitry
The HXU-357 accepts up to 28 DS1 (data and clock) signals and multiplexes
them into an electrical DS3 clock and data signal. It also demultiplexes the
electrical DS3 clock and data signal into28 DS1 (data and clock) signals. The
transceiver converts the NRZ signals to a bipolar drive for the coax cable.
The HXU-357 firmware controls multiplexer operation. The firmware allows
the local multiplexer to perform tests as well as initiate loopbacks on the
far-end multiplexer.
Memory
Resident software programming is permanently stored in three types of
memory: EEPROM, Flash RAM, and SRAM. Each can be upgraded from
1MBto2MB.
In addition to the three memories mentioned above, there are four 16-bit
registers (two read registers and two write-parallel registers).
Clock Circuit
The microprocessor derives its clock source from a crystal oscillator
operating at 40 MHz divided down to 20 MHz. This provides the timing
references at the clock input for the HXU-357.
You can download the HXU-357 software over the Ethernet
connectionor locally by a maintenance terminal connected to
the craft port of an HMU-319 List 7 or List 7A. This operation
is under software control. See “Upgrading the Multiplexer
Software”on page 46.
