INSTALLATION
After unpacking the unit, inspect it for damage. If damage is noted, file a claim with the carrier, then
contact ADTRAN. See Warranty section.
See Note in Compliance section. The DS3 Network Interface Unit with Performance Monitoring
(NIU3 PM) provides a demarcation and loopback point for DS3 circuits. The NIU3 PM can deploy as
a single unit, a 3-unit horizontal shelf, or a 12-unit vertical shelf.
Transmission Distance
The NIU3 PM can pass both network and customer signals up to 900 feet. During NIU3 bypass
operations, if total transmission distance exceeds 900 feet, DS3 data may cease. The DS3 NIU3 is not
intended for use as a repeater. See the Operation Diagram to the right for maximum recommended
transmission distance.
Network and Customer Connections, Power & Fuse
Each housing has four rear panel BNC connectors for each NIU3 PM: two (IN/OUT) for customer
receive/transmit, and two (IN/OUT) for network receive/transmit. The NIU3 PM operates on local
–48 VDC or –24 VDC. During normal operation, maximum power is 125mA @ –48 VDC or 250 mA@
–24 VDC. Power is fused on each NIU3 PM card.
TURNUP
When inserted into a host with power, the STATUS LED turns On red while the NIU3 PM
performs a self-test. If the self-test passes, the STATUS LED turns On green, and the remaining
LEDs go through an On/Off sequence, indicating the NIU3 PM is online. If the test fails, the STA-
TUS LED remains red, and the host bypass relays maintain data flow around the NIU3 PM.
OPERATION
During operation, the NIU3 PM is transparent to the network. If the NIU3 PM malfunctions, is
removed, or loses power, bypass relays on the host circuit board engage and maintain data flow
around the NIU3 PM.
Monitoring
Front panel monitoring jacks provide nonintrusive access through a high-impedance bridging
circuit. The monitor level is nominally 21.5 dB below the signal power. The signal being
transmitted to the network is monitored via the NTWK MON jack; the signal being transmitted
to the customer is monitored via the CUST MON jack.
Loss of Signal
During a loss of signal defect, the NIU3 PM provides both a “keep alive”signal and LED
notification.
■If there is no signal from the network, the NTWK LOS/AIS LED turns On red, and the NIU3
PM transmits an unframed all-ones signal toward the customer.
■If there is no signal from the customer, the CUST LOS/AIS LED turns On red, and the NIU3
PM transmits the keep-alive signal selected on the Provisioning Terminal screen. This signal
is transmitted toward the network.
Loss of Framing
If either NTWK or CUST C-Bit and M13 LEDs are both Off, the associated network or customer
signal is unframed.
TESTING
The NIU3 PM is compatible with standard test equipment. Digital testing is accomplished with a
T-Berd 310 or equivalent. The test device at the CO inserts a DS3 NIU FEAC loop up code (C-Bit
parity framing only) toward the NIU3 PM. The NIU3 PM then performs a network loopback. The
loopback is terminated by a DS3 NIU FEAC loop down code. Network and customer loopbacks
can also be enabled or terminated with the front panel LBK SEL pushbutton or via the craft
interface.
In-band Test Codes
Remote testing can also be conducted using in-band test codes. The CO test device inserts the
arming code 1011100 for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the test device has 20 seconds to transmit
one of the following test identifier codes:
■11010011 11010011 D3D3h Loopback ■11010111 01000001 D741h Blue
■00101110 00100011 2E23h 2^23-1 ■00101110 00100000 2E20h QRSS
■11010111 01000010 D742h Idle ■11010111 01000011 D743h User Defined
The first code initiates a loopback at the customer interface in the network direction. The
remaining codes send the associated test pattern in both network and customer directions
simultaneously. To deactivate a loopback or test pattern, send 1110110. NIU test patterns are
framed according to framing of the incoming signal at the NIU NTWK interface at the moment
an NIU in-band test pattern is activated. The User Defined test pattern is set to the last test
pattern programmed on the NIU Loopbacks and Test screen.

DS3 NIU3
WITH PERFORMANCE MONITORING
Pushbutton Loopback
Front panel LBK SEL pushbutton (SW1) controls loopback mode as described here:
■To initiate a network loopback, press SW1 once and hold for 5 seconds. The NTWK LBK LED flashes rapidly,
indicating the network loopback is “arming.”After 5 seconds, the network loopback enables, the NTWK LBK LED
turns On solid, and SW1 can be released.
■To initiate a customer loopback, press SW1 twice and hold for 5 seconds. The CUST LBK LED flashes rapidly,
indicating the customer loopback is “arming.”After 5 seconds, the customer loopback enables, the CUST LBK LED
turns On solid, and SW1 can be released.
■To initiate a dual (bidirectional) loopback, press SW1 three times and hold for 5 seconds. During this time, the
NTWK LBK and CUST LBK LEDs flash rapidly, indicating the dual loopback is “arming”. After 5 seconds, the dual
loopback enables, the NTWK LBK and CUST LBK LEDs turn On solid, and SW1 can be released.
If SW1 is released before the arming period expires, the loopback does not initiate, preventing an inadvertent
loopback.
■If a loopback is in effect, pressing SW1 disables the loopback, regardless of initiation point.
Time Out
After a loopback or pattern test is initiated, unless terminated manually, a time out returns the loop to normal
operation after a selected time of 20 min, 60 min, 120 min, or 24 hrs. The timer is reset at any point by sending the
FEAC loop up code. The test time out can be set or disabled through the craft interface. Pressing the LBK SEL
button during a test releases the loopback and returns the unit to normal operation.
CONTROL PORT OPERATION
The NIU3 PM front panel DB-9 provides an RS-232 interface for connection to a controlling terminal. To initiate a
terminal session, insert a DB-9 jack into the RS-232. The terminal interface operates at data rates from 1.2 kbps to 19.2
kbps. The asynchronous data format is fixed at 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The supported terminal type is
VT100 or compatible.
NOTE: When conducting a terminal session, always select VT100 mode in the Settings menu prior to making the craft
connection.
Terminal Session
The NIU3 PM synchronizes upon insertion in a powered-up shelf or housing. After synchronization, terminal sessions
provide access to screen menus for provisioning, monitoring, testing, or obtaining performance or event history.
Terminal screens are password protected with “ADTRAN”as the password. The adjacent menu tree identifies the
menu screens (not all are depicted).
NOTE: If using a personal computer with terminal emulation capability, disable all power saving programs.
Otherwise, communication between the PC and the NIU3 PM may be disrupted, resulting in misplaced
characters or screen time outs.
COMPLIANCE
This product is compliant with: ■NEBS-Level 3 ■ANSI-T1.404 ■UL 60950
NOTE: This product is intended for use in a restricted access area in a Type “B” or “E” enclosure only.
