1. INTRODUCTION
This practice describes the Pulsecom®O3-4D1A OC3 to DS1 Multiplexer, shown in
Figure 1. Installation instructions and engineering references are included.
A. Reason for Reissue
This practice has been reissued to provide ETL Listed Telephone Equipment and redun-
dant power information, to update Table 1, and to improve cable wiring organization.
B. Description
The O3-4D1A multiplexes/demultiplexes four DS1 signals from an OC3 optical signal.
By using standard, non-proprietary, virtual tributary VT1.5 and synchronous transport
signal STS-1 mapping, the O3-4D1A provides fiber-to-fiber compatibility with synchro-
nous optical network (SONET) multiplexers as well as far-end O3-4D1 Series units.
Compared to the O3-4D1, the O3-4D1A operates from +24 VDC or –24 VDC as well
as from –48 VDC and will enter loopback after an enable signal has been present for
5 seconds.
O3-4D1A units do not include optical transceivers. Ordering codes for the O3-4D1A
board as well as for available optical transceivers are shown in Table 1.
C. Features
The O3-4D1A provides the following features:
•Supports Universal and, by virtue of VT1.5 OC3 mapping, Integrated network
topologies
•Type 400 network channel terminating equipment (NCTE) mechanics—ideal for
placement at subscriber sites
•DS1 numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 mapped into STS-1 #1 VT1.5 positions 1, 2, 3, and 4,
respectively
•Available 3192-mechanics version (O3-4D1L3) suitable for installation in existing
3192 remote terminal (RT) shelves
•Climate hardened
•Can be powered from +24 VDC or –24 VDC supplies for cell site applications as well
as from standard –48 VDC sources
•DS1 lightning protection and DC power input surge protection to help assure reliable
service delivery for units installed at cell sites or in other harsh environments
•Plug-and-play default DS1 provisioning [short loops, bipolar with 8-zero substitution
(B8ZS) and extended superframe (ESF)] and simple front-panel switches that enable or
disable each of the four DS1 ports to eliminate the need to use the craft port for most
applications

3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Up to four DS1 circuits are combined into a single OC3 signal by using VT1.5 and STS-1
mapping; DS1 numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are mapped into STS-1 #1 VT1.5 positions 1, 2, 3,
and 4, respectively. The DS1 payload is not modified. Figure 3 shows a functional block
diagram.
A. OC3 Circuitry
The optical interface for the 155 Mbps data stream conforms to the basic SONET structure
defined in GR-253-CORE.

B. DS1 Circuitry
Each DS1 is provisioned for alternate mark inversion (AMI) or B8ZS line coding.
Superframe, extended superframe, or unframed formats are supported. Each DS1 pulse
template meets ANSI T1.102.
Each DS1 port is provisioned for digital signal cross-connect (DSX-1) type interface
(short haul), with line build-outs (LBOs) appropriate to service line lengths from 0 to
655 feet as well as 0, 7.5, or 15 dB.
The O3-4D1A detects loss of signal, all ones (alarm indication signal), and line code
violations for each DS1 on the drop side.
The unit is factory-set to enable a 60-minute loopback timeout for the four DS1 lines. The
craft port can be used to selectively inhibit loopback as well as loopback timeout on a
per-DS1 basis. See Section 5, CRAFT PORT, for additional DS1 loopback information.
C. Local Alarms
Tables 2, 3, and 4 provide alarm information for a universal configuration as well as an
O3-4D1A connected to a representative higher-order multiplexer (such as the Lucent
DMXtend). See Figures 4 and 5.

4. INSTALLATION
DANGER
The O3-4D1AemploysClass1optical signals. To avoid injury, do not look
directlyinto the optical transceiver or into the fiber cable. Note that the
light is invisible;the optical signal cannot be detected bythe eye.
Per GR-1089-CORE June 2006, Section 9.8, the battery return (BR) of this unit does not
have any internal connection to the unit’s frame and, therefore, may be used in either
DC-C (common bonding and grounding systems) or DC-I (isolated bonding and ground-
ing systems). The chassis ground wire must be at least as large as the wire used for the BR.
WARNINGS
1. This unit includes components that are susceptible to damage from
static electricity.DO NOT handle units without protection from
electrostatic discharge.
2. When not in use, optical connectors must be covered bydust capsto
keepairborne particles off connecting surfaces and to preserve
optimum performance.
3.Always clean fiber plugs with an approved fiber-cleaning product,
following appropriate procedures, before plugging the fiber into the
O3-4D1A.
4.O3-4D1Aunitscanbeequipped with long-range transceivers which
produce a higher optical output than the receiver can tolerate. This
capabilityis intended for applications where long lengths of fiber will
attenuate the signal. If a long-range transceiver is used in an
application with short fibers, a 15 dBattenuator should be installed on
the transmit port to prevent bit errors and possible damage to the
receiver.
5. When connecting the O3-4D1A output to test equipment, verifythat
the maximum input level specification of the test equipment is not
exceeded bythe O3-4D1A output. Even intermediate-range optics
can produce levels too high for some test equipment, so attenuators
might be required. In general, when connecting the O3-4D1Atotest
equipment, Pulsecom recommends a 5dBattenuator when
intermediate-range opticsareinstalledintheO3-4D1A and a 15 dB
attenuator when long-range optics are installed in the O3-4D1A.
Check the specifications of the test equipment to determine if this
precaution is adequate or necessary.
The O3-4D1A complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules when used in the recommended mountings and installed as described in this manual.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

The front panel of the O3-4D1A provides connection to the OC3 and DS1 signals as well
as the craft port. LEDs show OC3, DS1, and UNIT status. A 4-position DIP switch
enables or disables each DS1. Front-panel controls and indicators are shown in Figure 1
and described in Table 5.

NOTE 1: Use Pulsecom bail-lock to unterminated cable (AMP-MBL/U50Sxxx,wherexxx = cable
length in feet) or, in 3O3D3-CPL2C installations, use a Pulsecom bulkhead cable kit
(CPM-4DS1 or CPM-4DS1X).
NOTE 2: The unit will attempt to operate with an unrecognized OC3 transceiver;however, since the
transceiver temperature and distance ranges are not known, this unrecognized part should
be replaced as soon as possible with a transceiver listed in Table 1.
