4 Description
NT5K02 and NT8D03 Analog Line Cards 553-3001-161
Physical description
Analog line cards are housed in:
— NT8D37 Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) Modules:
up to 16 cards
— NT8D11 Common/Peripheral Equipment (CE/PE) Modules:
up to 10 cards
The analog line card circuitry is mounted on a 31.75 by 25.40 cm (12.5 by
10 in.) printed circuit board.
The analog line card connects to the backplane through a 160-pin edge
connector. The backplane is cabled to the input/output (I/O) panel, which
connects to the main distribution frame (MDF), also called a cross-connect
terminal, through 25-pair cables. Telephones then connect to the card at the
MDF.
The faceplate of the analog line card is equipped with a red light emitting
diode (LED) which lights when the card is disabled. When the card is
installed, the LED remains lit for two to five seconds as a self-test runs. If
the self-test completes successfully, the LED flashes three times and
remains lit until the card is configured and enabled in software, then the
LED goes out. If the LED does not follow the pattern described or operates
in any other manner (such as continually flashing or remaining weakly lit),
the card should be replaced.
Functional description
The analog line card contains an 8051-family microprocessor that provides
the following functions:
— self-identification
— self-test
— control of card operation
— status report to the controller
— maintenance diagnostics

Description 5
NT5K02 and NT8D03 Analog Line Cards 553-3001-161
The analog line card also provides:
— 600-ohm balanced terminating impedance
— analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion of transmission and
reception signals for 16 audio telephone lines
— transmission and reception of scan and signaling device (SSD)
signaling messages over a DS30X signaling channel in A10 format
— on-hook and off-hook status detection
— 20-Hz ringing signal connection and automatic disconnection when the
telephone goes off-hook
— synchronization for connecting and disconnecting the ringing signal to
zero crossing of ringing voltage
— loopback of SSD messages and Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) signals
for diagnostic purposes
— correct initialization of all features, as configured in software, at
power-up
— direct reporting of digits dialed (500 telephones) by collecting dial
pulses

Technical summary
NT8D03 Analog Line Card
Analog line interface
The NT8D03 Analog Line Card meets the EIA/TA464 standard for ONS
Type II line cards.
Input impedance
The impedance at tip and ring is 600 ohms with a return loss of
— 20 dB for 200-500 Hz
— 26 dB for 500-3400 Hz
Insertion loss
On a line to line connection, the total insertion loss at 1 kHz is 4 dB + 1 dB.
This is arranged as 3.5 dB loss for analog to PCM, and 0.5 dB loss for PCM
to analog.
Frequency response
The loss values in Table 2 are measured relative to the loss at 1 kHz.

(Note 3) 160 mA
Note 1: Current required for each line off hook.
Note 2: Each active ringing relay requires 10 mA of battery voltage.
Note 3: Reflects the current for ringing a single DN telephone. There may be as
many as five ringers on each line.
Foreign and surge voltage protection
In-circuit protection against power line crosses or lightning is not provided
on the analog line card. When the card is used to service off-premise
telephones, primary and secondary MDF protection must be installed.
Off-premise telephones served by cable pairs routed through the central
office, or crossing a public right-of-way, can be subject to a requirement for
on-card protection, and MDF protectors may not be acceptable. Check local
regulations before providing such service.
Overload level
Signal levels exceeding +6.5 dBm0 applied to the tip and ring cause
distortion in speech transmission.

12 Technical summary
NT5K02 and NT8D03 Analog Line Cards 553-3001-161
Backplane pin layout
Table 5 shows the I/O pin designations at the backplane connector, which is
arranged as an 80-row by 2-column array of pins. Normally, these pin
positions are cabled to 50-pin connectors at the I/O panel in the rear of each
module, for connection with 25-pair cables to the MDF.
The information in Table 5 is provided as a reference and diagnostic aid at
the backplane, since the cabling arrangement may vary at the I/O panel. See
System installation procedures (553-3001-210) for cable pinout information
at the I/O panel.
