LTPH-UM-1122-02, Issue 2 Overview
H4TU-C-388 List 1 September 12, 2003 1
OVERVIEW
The H4TU-C-388 List 1 is the Central Office (CO) side of a repeaterless T1 transmission system. The four-wire
HDSL4 product family (hereafter referred to as “HDSL4”) is based on the HDSL4 standard ANSI T1.418 Issue 2.
The H4TU-C, when used with an H4TU-Rremote unit, transmits a 1.544 Mbps payload up to a maximum distance
of 12 kft. over two unconditioned copper pairs. Using two doublers (H4Ds), the Carrier Service Area (CSA) reach
can be extended to a maximum of 34 kft.
The H4TU-C-388 List 1 is designed to mount in Double Dual Module Plus (DDM+) high-density shelves. For a
list of compatible shelves see “Appendix C - Compatibility” on page 66.

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 insertion 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 insertion 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,
DDS, and other transmission schemes.
•Can be used with customers requiring DS1 service on a temporary or permanent basis.
•Provide a means of quickly deploying service in advance of fiber-optic transmission systems.
DS1 is used throughout this document to refer to either the remote unit’s DS1 interface or the
line unit’s DSX-1 interface.

Table 1. Front-Panel Description
Front-Panel Feature Function
Front-panel display Displays four-character status, provisioning, and alarm system messages. The front-panel
display illuminates when power is initially applied. To conserve power, the display only remains
on for 5 minutes. Using the MODE or SEL buttons reactivates the display and restarts the
5-minute timer. Refer to Table 2 on page 5 for a listing of the four-character messages.
MODE and SEL pushbuttons Permits user options to be monitored and modified without the need of a maintenance terminal.
Used to initiate all HDSL4 loopbacks and to display DSX-1 line parameters and line unit identity.
Status LED The status LED can report the following conditions:
Off Line power is off.

INSTALLATION
Figure 2. Installing the H4TU-C-388 List 1 into a Shelf
1Align the H4TU-C with the enclosure slot guide, then push the unit back until it touches the backplane
card-edge connector.
2Press down on the H4TU-C front panel to properly seat it.
Upon receipt of the equipment, inspect the contents for signs of damage. If the equipment has
been damaged in transit, immediately report the extent of damage to the transportation
company and to ADC.
When installing an H4TU-C in a chassis, be sure to wear an antistatic wrist strap. Avoid touching
components on the circuit board.
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 H4TU-C DSX-1 output ports to the
cross-connect panel must be grounded at both ends.

H4TU-C-388 List 1 September 12, 2003 9
VERIFICATION
Once the H4TU-C is installed, verify that it is operating properly. To do this, monitor the following:
•Status LED
•Status messages reported by the front-panel display (see Table 2 on page 5)
Verification without a Downstream Device
If there is no downstream device installed:
1Verify that the H4TU-C powers up. The front-panel display illuminates and reports status messages. (See
Table 2 on page 5 for a list of messages.)
2Verify that the H4TU-C attempts to communicate with downstream devices (status LED flashes red). Even
if a downstream device is not present, the following events should occur:
•The front-panel display reports various four-character status messages.
•The H4TU-C again attempts communication until a downstream device is detected.
Verification with a Downstream Device
If a downstream device has been installed:
1Verify that the H4TU-C powers up. (The front-panel display illuminates and reports various status messages.)
2Verify that the H4TU-C attempts to communicate with downstream devices (status LED flashes red). One of
the following occurs:
•If downstream devices are successfully identified and the HDSL4 loop synchronizes, the H4TU-C status
LED lights steady green. The H4TU-C reports normal margin and loop attenuation messages on the
front-panel display.
•If downstream devices are not successfully identified, the H4TU-C reports four-character status
messages. The H4TU-C attempts communication again and reports four-character status messages. The
H4TU-C repeats this cycle until a downstream device is detected.
3If there is more than one span, verify that each subsequent span synchronizes normally by monitoring the
front-panel display messages.
4If a remote unit is installed, verify that the last span synchronizes normally. The H4TU-C status LED should
light a steady green and the front-panel display should report normal margin messages.
5Verify that a valid DS1 signal has been applied to the H4TU-C and the H4TU-R.
•If no DS1 signal is being applied to either the H4TU-C or the H4TU-R inputs, then the appropriate DS1
alarms (LLOS or RLOS) display on the front panel and the status LED flashes red.
•If a valid DS1 signal is being supplied to the H4TU-C and H4TU-R, then DS1 alarm indications should
be absent and the status LED should be steady green.

Provisioning LTPH-UM-1122-02, Issue 2
10 September 12, 2003 H4TU-C-388 List 1
PROVISIONING
There are two methods for provisioning:
•Use the MODE and SEL buttons on the front panel of the H4TU-C to:
—Set system options
—Reset the H4TU-C to its factory default settings for system options
—Display system option settings (scroll mode)
—Select system loopbacks
•Use a maintenance terminal (VT100 terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) connected to the
H4TU-C craft port (or to an HMU craft port) to access the maintenance screens (Figure 3 on page 13). This
gives you full access to all H4TU-C status, history, inventory, and provisioning screens.
USING THE MODE AND SEL BUTTONS
Setting Options through MODE and SEL
To provision the H4TU-C-388 List 1 through the MODE and SEL pushbuttons on the front panel:
1Press the MODE button for 1 second and then release it. The front-panel display alternately shows the first
system parameter and its current setting.
2Press the SEL button to step through all possible settings of the selected parameter. (See Table 5 on page 19
and Table 6 on page 20.)
3After the desired setting has been selected, press the MODE button. This updates the currently displayed
parameter to the selected setting, then advances to the next configurable parameter. After the last parameter
has been selected, a CONF NO message appears on the front-panel display.
4Do one of the following:
•To cancel the session without saving the requested parameter changes, press the MODE button or do
nothing. (After 30 seconds, the display returns to its normal mode without saving the new changes.)
•To accept the requested parameter changes, press the SEL button. (A CONF YES message displays and
returns to its normal mode after saving the new changes.)
No dip switches or jumpers are required to provision the H4TU-C-388 List 1 as it contains a
non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) which stores the system option settings. System option settings are
retained if shelf power is lost or if the H4TU-C-388 List 1 is unplugged.
