1 The Primary Rate system
1.1 Introduction
This manual has been written to provide users of the Primary Rate
system with all the necessary information to configure and operate the
system. This chapter provides a brief introduction to the system and it’s
components. Chapter 2 provides information on the Primary Rate
system. Chapter 3 provides detailed information on configuration and
operation.
Please refer to Section 5 for the abbreviations found in this manual.
1.2 This is the Primary Rate System
The Primary Rate system is a Primary Rate ISDN product offering;
• Each primary rate module provides up to 30 active channels (23
for USA), each of which can operate at, or be rate adapted up to
64 kbit/s for X21, V35 or V24 data access
• N x 64 kbit/s services
• Multiple rack and PRI card operation together with high density
access and backup applications.
The Primary Rate system is incorporated in the Fivemere SBU6C, or
SBU14C shelves; it is not available as a standalone system.
Three types of PRI module are available as follows:-

CBUPRI/E1 SBUPRI-23/30 User Manual
80-14005000-011–2
• CBUPRI/E1 - this is the first iteration, providing 2.048Mbit/s ‘E1’ type
ISDN access
• SBUPRI-30 - the later version with the same features as CBUPRI/E1,
but with capacity for future expansion
• SBUPRI-23 - as for SBUPRI-30 but is a 1.544Mbit/s ‘T1’ ISDN access
version for the USA market.
The CBUPRI/E1, SBUPRI-23 and SBUPRI-30 are similar in appearance
and use; the Configuration menus vary however. To simplify matters,
this manual refers to “SBUPRI” throughout referring to all three types;
differences where they exist are specified for each type.
The system comprises:
Front (Application) Card Rear (Interface) Card
PRI ISDN Card
(CBUPRI/E1 or SBUPRI-23
or SBUPRI-30)
PRI ISDN Interface Card
(RJ-45 Connection)
Shelf Manager Module
(SBUGSM, or SBULSM) This controls all cards via a common command port
Other Application Cards These define what type of data
interface is presented to the
user’s equipment
For cards other than the SBUPRI used in the SBU14Cor SBU6C, please
see the relevant manual.
Management is provided via the Shelf Manager Module (SBUGSM or
the later SBULSM) in the system.
Local or Remote access to the cards in the shelf is by password which is
entered the first time any card in the shelf is polled. Alarm messages
from all application cards in the shelf are routed to the alarm and/or
command ports on the Shelf Manager Module.
Configuration commands are issued to the cards from the management
console or Fivemere proprietary Network Management System (SBU-
NM) via the Shelf Manager Module.

1.3 The Primary Rate Interface Module
As with all Shelf System cards, the Primary Rate Interface Modules
(SBUPRI) comprise a front and a rear card. Both front and rear cards
are not interchangeable between the CBUPRI/E1, SBUPRI-23 and
SBUPRI-30 modules. See Figure 1 in section 2.2.
The SBUPRI work in conjunction with other modules in the Primary Rate
system, ‘standalone’ operation is not possible. The SBUPRI provide up
to 30 ‘B’ channels (23 for USA) for use by other application cards in the
Primary Rate system.
The CBUPRI/E1 and SBUPRI-30 works with ‘Euro’ Primary Rate (I.421)
ISDN. The SBUPRI-23 works with US National standard (Bellcore NI-2).
All 3 types have a physical interface provided by an RJ45 connector.
1.4 Shelf Manager Module (SBUGSM or SBULSM)
The Shelf Manager Module is responsible for configuring the cards and
for collecting ALERTs from all application cards. A full description of the
Shelf Manager Module can be found in the SBU Systems User Guide,
which is provided as part of the documentation set.
1.5 Quad User Modules
These modules are in two forms; the Quad Low Speed Module
(SBUQLS/SBUQLB) and Quad High Speed Module
(SBUQHS/SBUQHB). Please see the Quad User Modules manual for
further details.
Additional module types will be added to the system in due course as
part of the continuing development program on these products. Further
supporting manuals will be produced for additional modules.
1.5.1 Quad Low Speed Module (SBUQLS/SBUQLB)
The SBUQLS provides four rate adapted User ports per card offering
standard V.24, X.21, and V.35 interfaces. The interfaces are chosen by
selection of the desired type of interface card for all four ports. Each
port has Talkwire capability.

1.5.2 Quad High Speed Module (SBUQHS/SBUQHB)
The SBUQHS provides four User ports per card offering N x 64k data
rates on each port, with X.21 and V.35 interfaces. The interfaces are
chosen by selection of the desired type of interface card for all four ports.

2 The Primary Rate Interface Module
2.1 Introduction
The Primary Rate Interface Module (SBUPRI) works in conjunction with
the other modules in the Backup system and ‘standalone’ operation is
not possible. The SBUPRI provides up to 30 ISDN ‘B’ channels (23 for
USA) for use by other application cards in the system.
Management is provided via the Shelf Manager Module.
Access to the cards in the shelf is by password which is entered on the
first poll of the shelf. Alarm messages from the cards in the shelf are
routed to the alarm and/or command ports on the Shelf Manager
Module.
The front card carries out the call processing functions, the rear card
carries the line matching/isolating transformers. Both front and rear
cards are not interchangeable between the CBUPRI/E1 and SBUPRI-
23/30 modules.
2.2 Front and Rear cards
The panel layouts for the front and rear cards that make up the SBUPRI
are shown in Figure 1 overleaf. The ‘Master’ LED is labelled ‘Talkwire’
on the earlier PRIM, but the function is not implemented.
