152-319-100-02, Revision 02 Overview
H2TU-C-319 List 1 and List 1C April 21, 2000 1
OVERVIEW
The HiGain Solitaire™product family from PairGain®is the industry’s first practical implementation of High
bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2 (HDSL2). PairGain products are fully compliant with the HDSL2 standard.
Providing full-rateT1 access using just a single copper pair,HDSL2 is a cost-effective solution that offers an open
architecture. The open architecture inherent in HDSL2 guarantees interoperability, allowing simple, economic
accommodation of network growth. HiGain Solitaire uses the industry’s first HDSL2 chipset (ANSI T1/E1.4
compliant) developed by PairGain.
HiGain Solitaire HDSL2 products provide 1.552 Mbps transmission on one unconditioned copper pair over the
full Carrier Service Area (CSA) range. The CSA includes loops up to 12,000 feet of 24 American Wire Gauge
(AWG) wire or 9,000 feet of 26 AWG wire, including bridged taps.
FEATURES
The H2TU-C-319 line unit is the Central Office (CO) side of a T1 transmission system. List 1 and List 1C are
identical, except that the List 1C does not provide the standard front-panel provisioning features (RS-232
connector, MOD andSEL buttons,and four-character display). List 1Cprovisioning is accomplished only through
the HMU-319 management unit interface.
•HDSL2 transmission features
–Three-span range with two regenerators (36 kft, 24 AWG)
–Lightning and power cross-protection on HDSL2 interfaces
–Full duplex HDSL2 transmission on one pair at 1.552 Mbps
–Ultra-low wander (Stratum 1 compliant)
–Grounded loop detection on High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2 (HDSL2)
•Front-panel provisioning features
–Four-character status display (List 1 only)
–DS1 splitting and bridging access
–Status LED
–RS-232 craft port for connection to a maintenance terminal (List 1 only)
•HiGain Solitaire HDSL2 maintenance screens for inventory, provisioning, and troubleshooting
–High-performance, non-volatile DS1 and HDSL2 performance monitoring
–Non-volatile alarm histories
•Configuration options
–Selectable DS1 pre-equalizer
–Bipolar Violation Transparency (BPVT)
–Bit Error Rate (BER) alarm
–Loss of Signal/Alarm Indication Signal (LOS/AIS) payload alarm
–Remote provisioning
–Selectable loopback activation codes
•Compatible with 3192 mechanics shelves
•Payload (PL) and HiGain (HG) loopback source identification

Overview 152-319-100-02, Revision 02

•Network Management and Administration (NMA) interface
•Margin threshold alarm
COMPATIBILITY
The H2TU-C-319 is designed to mount in 3192 mechanics shelves. For a list of compatible shelves see
“Appendix C - Compatibility”on page 55.
APPLICATIONS
HiGain Solitaire systems provide a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy method for deliveringT1 High Capacity Digital
Service (HCDS) over a single copper pair. HiGain Solitaire systems support a multitude of network connections
and system models (see Figure 1 on page 3).
•The service is deployed over one unconditioned, non-loaded copper pair.
•Conventional, inline, T1 repeaters are no longer required.
•Cable pair conditioning, pair separation, and bridged tap removal are not required.
Each loop has no more than 35 dB of loss at 196 kHz, with driving and terminating impedances of 135
 . In
general, HiGain Solitaire systems:
•Operate effectively inthe same cable binder group withother HDSL2 lines, HDSL, T1,ADSL, SDSL, POTS,
DDS, and other transmission schemes.
•Can be used with customers requiring DS1 service on a temporary or permanent basis.
•Provide a means of quickly deploying service in advance of fiber optic transmission systems.
DS1 is used throughout this document to refer to either the remote unit’s DS1 interface or the
line unit’s DSX-1 interface.
