239 T1 HDSL4 Repeater (H4R)
1. GENERAL
This practice is an installation and maintenance guide for the ADTRAN® 239 T1 HDSL4 Repeater (H4R) (239
H4R). Figure 1 illustrates the 239 H4R (P/N 1223445L1) front panel.
2. DESCRIPTION
HDSL4 provides extended range T1 (DS1) transport on the telecommunications network. HDSL4 features spectral
compatibility with ADSL and other transport technologies.
This 239 H4R performs signal regeneration to extend the range of the HDSL4 circuit.
The H4TU-C (Central Office Transceiver) unit receives DSX-1 input signals from the network through the chassis,
transports them across the HDSL4 circuit, and terminates them through an H4TU-R remote unit which provides a
traditional DS1 to customer equipment. The H4TU-C provides testing, provisioning, and performance monitoring
capabilities that address circuit status.
The H4TU-C works in conjunction with the ADTRAN H4TU-R (Remote) and up to three H4Rs (Repeaters) to
provide a DS 1 service on the local loop.

to that anomaly. This number will also reflect the highest anomaly count seen, as it is possible to have more than
one bad splice per circuit. This screen will report the worst (most frequently detected) anomaly.
In this example, a detection has occurred approximately 650 feet from an H4TU-C module on Loop 2 of the
HDSL4 circuit.

Fast Retrain Feature
Fast Retrain is an ADTRAN proprietary feature whose intent is to minimize downtime when an intermittent non
power-related impairment (bad splice, noise burst, etc.) affects the HDSL loop and cannot be bridged.
HDSL2 and HDSL4 transceivers normally train in approximately 25 to 30 seconds. For an initial circuit turn-up,
this is not a big issue. However, once service has been established on the circuit, any large down-time will interrupt
communications on the circuit. A loss of synchronization on the F1DSL loop can cause excessive down times due
not only to the 30-second HDSL retrain time, hut also further delays due to the higher level protocols in the
network going through re-synchronization. On the older generation 1TDSL2 and F1DSL4 units, a 1-second loss of
HDSL frame synchronization would cause the data pumps to retrain. This retrain would take approximately 25
seconds during which AIS would be sent to the terminating equipment. The reception of AIS by the terminating
equipment then might trigger higher level protocol re-synchronizations.
In an effort to minimize this down time, the Fast Retrain feature has been implemented. If an impairment (bad
splice, for example) causes the F1DSL data pump to lose frame synchronization for 500 msec or longer, instead of
retraining, a fast retrain will be attempted. This abbreviated train can achieve data mode in 5 to 7 seconds. A

NOTE
Fast-Retrain capable units must be installed on both ends of the HDSL4 circuit for
for any reason, then th/traditional (25-30 second) retrain will be initiated. P

Due to span power limits, the number of H4Rs permitted in the circuit depends upon the type of H4TU-C utilized.
An ADTRAN 239 H4R provides DS1 transport on all revised resistance design (RRD) 26 AWG and/or 24 AWG
loops. Three ADTRAN 239 H4R repeaters may be added to extend the range of a loop.
Repeater placement is determined by the following criteria:
• On single H4R loops, only on the attenuation properties of the loop segment must be considered.
• For a circuit requiring two H4Rs, both segment attenuation as well as segment DC resistance requirements be
satisfied.
• For a circuit requiring three H4Rs, H4TU-C and H4TU-R hardware requirements, segment attenuation, and
Refer to the “HDSL4 Deployment Guidelines” on page 6 of this practice and the Installation and Maintenance
Practice for the deployed H4TU-C.
Compliance
Table 2 shows tbe compliance codes for the 239 H4R. The 239 H4R is NRTL listed to the applicable UL standards.
The 239 H4R is to be installed in a restricted access location and in a Type “B” or “E” enclosure only.
Table 2. Compliance Codes

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by ADTRAN could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.
3. INSTALLATION
After unpacking the 239 H4R, inspect it for damage. If damage has occurred, file a claim with the carrier, then
contact ADTRAN Customer Service. Refer to “Appendix A, Warranty” for further information. If possible, keep
the original shipping container for returning the 239 H4R for repair or for verification of shipping damage.

CAUTION
Electronic modules can be damaged by ESD. When handling modules, wear an
antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic components. Place
modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When working
on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically
grounded.
There are no manual option settings for the H4R.
H4R power is derived from an H4TU-C, independent of line impedance or wire gauge. The operating power from
the H4TU-C may also be used to span power the H4TU-R.
The 239 H4R is designed for deployment in any environmentally controlled 239-type apparatus case.
A retainer latch is available for securing the 239 H4R in the apparatus case.
When installing the ADTRAN 239 H4R refer to the Installation and Maintenance Practice for the housing being
used.

CAUTION
The H4R dissipates a maximum of 5.4 watts.
NOTE
Ensure that the chassis ground is securely connected to the apparatus case. Ground
pin designations are defined in Table 3.
5. HDSL4 DEPLOYMENT GUIDELINES
Refer to the H4TU-C Installation and Maintenance Practice, HDSL4 Deployment Guidelines section, for loop
parameters including attenuation and loop resistance considerations.

8. MAINTENANCE
The HDSL4 239 T1HDSL4 Repeater (H4R) requires no routine maintenance for normal operation. In case of
equipment malfunction, perform an in-band loopback from the Central Office. If a malfunction is confirmed,
replace the unit.
The ADTRAN 239 H4R has looping capability through the channel allowing digital loopback in fault isolation.
The loopback is activated remotely. The type of loopbacks the H4R supports will be dependent upon the loopback
capabilities of the transceiver units utilized on the circuit. Refer to the Installation and Maintenance Practice of the
specific H4TU-C or H4TU-R for a list of loopback codes.
Performance monitoring, diagnostics, and loopbacks are also available from the craft interface at the
H4TU-C or H4TU-R.
CAUTION
When testing indicates a faulty H4R, refer to the housing Installation and Mainte¬
nance Practice for the entry and pressurization control, the replace the faulty unit.
ADTRAN does not recommend that repairs be attempted in the field. Repair services may be obtained by returning
the defective unit to ADTRAN. Refer to “Appendix A, Warranty” for further information.
