LTPH-UM-1149-01 Overview
H2TU-C-231 List 3F June 12, 2002 1
OVERVIEW
The H2TU-C-231 List 3F (H2TU-C) line unit is the Central Office (CO) side of a T1 transmission system. The
HiGain HDSL2 product family is fully compliant with the HDSL2 standard ANSI T1.418.
The H2TU-C, when used with an H2TU-R remote unit, transmits a 1.544 Mbps payload on one unconditioned
copper pair over the full Carrier Service Area (CSA) range. The CSA includes loops up to 12,000 feet of 24 AWG
wire or 9,000 feet of 26 AWG wire, including bridged taps.
The H2TU-C is designed to mount in standard 220 mechanics shelves. For a list of compatible shelves, see
“Appendix C - Compatibility” on page 67.
FEATURES
Standard features include:
•HDSL2 transmission features
–Lightning and power cross-protection on HDSL2 interfaces
–Full-duplex HDSL2 transmission on one pair at 1.552 Mbps
–Ultra-low wander (Stratum 1 compliant)
–Grounded loop detection on High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2 (HDSL2)
•Front-panel features
–Four character status display
–DSX-1 signal access
–Status Light Emitting Diode (LED)
–RS-232 craft port for maintenance terminal connection
–MODE and LBK pushbuttons for system settings display and loopback activation
–Dual loopback commands
•Maintenance screens to provision, monitor, and troubleshoot HDSL2 system
–DS1 and HDSL2 performance monitoring
–Loop attenuation and insertion loss reporting
–Non-volatile storage of performance monitoring parameters
–Performance Report Messaging (PRM) support for Supplemental PRM (SPRM) and Network PRM
(NPRM) at the H2TU-R
–Payload (PL) and HDSL Generic (HG) loopback source identification
–Margin Alarm (MAL) threshold
–Report menu option for downloading status and performance monitoring data to a file
–16-bit inband retrieval of margin and pulse attenuation
–Remote provisioning through TL1 FDL or 11-bit inband commands
–Remote access and control of H2TU-R test signal generator
•Configuration options
–Selectable DSX-1 pre-equalizer

Overview LTPH-UM-1149-01
2 June 12, 2002 H2TU-C-231 List 3F
–Bipolar Violation Transparency (BPVT) options
–Bit Error Rate (BER) alarm
–Power Back Off - Customer (PBOC) and Power Back Off - Network (PBON) options for configuring
power output levels
–Loss of Signal/Alarm Indication Signal (LOS/AIS) payload alarm option
–Selectable loopback activation codes
•Additional Loopback Timeout (LBTO) settings of 8 hours and 24 hours
•Network Management and Administration (NMA) interface
APPLICATIONS
HiGain HDSL2 systems provide a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy method for delivering T1 High Capacity Digital
Service (HCDS) over a single copper pair. HiGain HDSL2 systems support a multitude of network connections
and system models.
•The service is deployed over one unconditioned, non-loaded copper pair.
•Conventional inline DS1 repeaters are no longer required.
•Cable pair conditioning, pair separation and bridged tap removal are not required.
Each loop has no more than 35 dB of insertion loss (INSL) at 196 kHz, with driving and terminating impedances
of 135Ω. In general, HiGain HDSL2 systems:
•Operate effectively inthe same cable binder group with other HDSL2 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.
