DESCRIPTION
The ADTRAN U-BR1TE is a device which enables
transport of ISDN Basic Rate (2B+D) information over T
carrierlines. Thisisaccomplishedbytheinsertionofthetwo
"B"channelsat64kbpsandasingle "D"channelat16kbps
into 3 DS0 time slots. The U-BR1TE provides a standard
U-interface which operates at 160 kbps full duplex over a
single twisted pair of wires. The U-BR1TE may be used at
both the Central Office Terminal location (COT) and the
RemoteTerminallocation(RT). ClearChannelcapabilities
(B8ZS) are not required of the T1 facility if Zero Byte
Suppression is enabled. The U-interface available at the
U-BR1TE conforms to ANSI standards and performs all
Layer 1 functions.
The U-BR1TE plugs into a single D4 channel slot. It
occupiesthetimeslotinwhichitisinserted,andthenexttwo
adjacent time slots when delivering 2B+D service. The
U-BR1TE meets the ones density requirement of the T
carrier through the use of zero byte substitution and
associated flags in the “D” channel DS0 slot according to
TR-NWT-000397.
Maintenance and testability is provided for on the
U-BR1TE's front panel. A four-character display provides
an indication of Loop Activation, Out-of-Service, and Test.
The Select button is used with the four-character display to
determinewhichnetworkelementistobeloopedback. The
B1-B2 switch determines which channel is to be looped
back. The LP-CR switch determines the direction of the
loopback. The Test button, which activates the unit's test
features, is recessed to prevent any inadvertent operation.
The U-BR1TE/MLT contains the same capabilities as
the U-BR1TE, with the addition of compatibility with
MechanizedLoopTesting(MLT3.0/ISDN)accordingtoTR-
NWT-000397, Issue 3, June 1992. When configured and
installed in a SLC-96 channel bank, the U-BR1TE/MLT
allows testing the local loop cable drop using an Extended
Pair Gain Tester (XPGTC).

APPLICATIONS
The ADTRAN U-BR1TE is suitable for use in both
Central Office and customer premises environments. The
use of a single wire pair for full-duplex operations greatly
simplifies the administration of cable plant. The capability
oftheU-interfacetoservemixedwiregauges,andnominal
distances up to 18,000 ft. make it the universal choice for
ISDN deployment.
The ADTRAN U-BR1TE is ideally suited when the
need arises to extend ISDN service beyond the normal
ISDN BR1/8 Bank (BR1/8)
TheADTRANBR1/8BR1TE bankprovidesanalternative
means of housing the ADTRAN U-BR1TE or T-BR1TE and
providesnetworkterminationforaT1line. TheBR1/8contains
eight channel slots to accommodate up to eight U-BR1TEs or
T-BR1TEs. Each channel slot contains three DS0 timeslots
allowing all of the channel slots to be used when delivering
ISDNBasicRate(2B+D)Service. TheBR1/8isaneconomical

servicing range. The ability to provide ISDN services
is only limited by the range of available T carrier lines.
In instances where the 2B1Q U-interface card is
not available in the digital switch, it is possible to use
ADTRAN T-BR1TEs and U-BR1TEs in a mixed
application. Thisapplicationallowsthe2B1QT1.601-
