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 line unit DSX-1 output ports to the cross-connect
panel must be grounded at both ends.

Table 3. Maintenance Terminal Config Menu—Standard Options(a)
(a) Default settings are in bold.
Standard Option Function
Loopback Timeout
(LBTO) Sets automatic cancellation of all loopbacks to NONE, 20 min, 60 min, or
120 min after activation.
Loop Attenuation
Threshold (LATT) Determines the maximum loop attenuation (0 to 40 dB) before an alarm is
declared. Zero disables the alarm. Default setting is 32 dB.
Margin Threshold
(MARG) Determines the minimum allowable margin (0 to 15 dB) below which a system
alarm can occur. Zero disables the alarm. Default setting is 4 dB.
DS1 Frame Formatting
(FRMG) AUTO = system searches DS1 transmission for SF or ESF frame pattern.
SF = sets system for SF frame formatting.
ESF = sets system for ESF frame formatting.
UNFR = system functions as a transparent bit pipe.
DS1 Line Coding (DS1) B8ZS = sets system for B8ZS line code.
AMI = sets system for AMI line code.
H2TU-C Equalization
(EQL) Sets the DSX-1 equalizer to: 0 (0 to 132 ft.), 133 (133 to 265 ft.), 266 (266 to
398 ft.), 399 (399 to 532 ft.), or 533 (533 to 655 ft.).
H2TU-R Line Buildout
(RLBO) Sets the DS1 receive level output toward the Customer Interface to 0 dB,
-7.5 dB, or -15.0 dB.
Alarm Pattern (ALMP) Enables an AIS or LOS output at the DS1 ports for LOSW or LOS DS1.
H2TU-R TLOS Loopback
(TLOS) Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) a TLOS loopback at H2TU-R for LOS at its
DS1 input (if enabled at the H2TU-R).
Network Loopback
Pattern (NLBP) Enables the H2TU-R to transmit an AIS or LOS towards CI for any network
loopback.
Power Back Off Network
(PBON) The power output levels of the H2TU-C network unit toward the customer.
Default (DEF) or enhanced (ENH).
Power Back Off Customer
(PBOC) The power output levels of the H2TU-R customer unit toward the network.
Default (DEF) or enhanced (ENH).
Table 4. Maintenance Terminal Config Menu—ADC Options(a)
(a) Default settings are in bold.
ADC Option Function
Line Power Feed (PWRF) Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) HDSL2 line power.
Remote Provisioning
(RTPV) Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) remote provisioning.
Bipolar Violation
Transparency (BPVT) Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) Bipolar Violation Transparency.
DS1 BER (DBER) Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) 24-hour DSX-1 BER alarm threshold.
HDSL2 BER Threshold
(HBER) Sets HDSL2 BER alarm threshold at 1E-6, 1E-7 or NONE.

(A3LB).
SmartJack Loopback

Minor Alarm (ALM) Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) the generation of an alarm output when a
system alarm occurs.
Network AIS Pattern
(NAIS) If ALMP is set to AIS, determines which pattern is sent to the network when a
remote LOS or AIS occurs. CI = AIS-CI sent to the network; AIS = AIS sent to
the network.
Performance Report
Messaging (PRM) OFF = no enhanced Performance Report Messaging, SPRM = Supplemental
PRM, NPRM = Network PRM, S + N = H2TU-R generates both SPRMs and
NPRMs whenever possible.
RAI to RAI-CI towards
NET (RACI) Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) conversion of a DS1 RAI signal (yellow alarm)
received by the H2TU-R to an RAI-CI signal toward the network.
ESF-RAI to SF-RAI
Overwrite (ROVR) Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) conversion of an ESF DS1 payload from the
network with an embedded RAI pattern to an SF-RAI pattern toward the CI at
the H2TU-R. CONV option must be set to FCON or ACON.
H2TU-R DS1 Frame
Conversion (CONV) OFF = framing determined by the DS1 FRMG option, ACON = autodetection of
framing and potential frame conversion at the H2TU-R, FCON = autodetection
of framing and forced frame format conversion at the H2TU-R.
Fractional T1 Mode (FT1) Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) system response to DDS latching loopback
commands for fractional T1 applications, CP disconnect, and trouble
indication.
