3.1.1. The indicator indicates
E1 link indicators:
LOS (Red) : Receiving signal loss alarm of local E1 link, LOS-On, without LOS-Off.
LER (Double Color): The rest local alarm. AIS—Flashing with red color, LOF—On with
yellow color, CRC—Flashing with yellow color, no alarm—Off.
RLP (Double Color): Test indicator of remote loop-back and BERT.
Test of remote loop-back: test is failure-Flashing with yellow color,
test is successful-On with yellow color
Test of BERT: there are error bits-Flashing with green color, there
are no error bits-On with green color
Normal working condition-Off.
The information of indicator is BERT, when the test of BERT and
remote loop-back is available at the same time.
RAL (Double Color): E1 link alarm of remote equipment.
LOS-On with red color, AIS—Flashing with red color,
LOF—On with yellow color, CRC—Flashing with yellow color,
no alarm-Off.
The definition of above alarm is following:
LOS: Loss of receiving signals of E1
AIS: Receiving signals of E1 is 1, there is fault in upstream equipment general.
LOF: When working mode of E1 is framed, it means the frame is asynchronous
When working mode of E1 is unframed, it means there is abnormal frame.
CRC: When working mode of E1 is framed, the alarm is E1 CRC alarm.
When working mode of E1 is unframed, the alarm is HDLC CRC alarm.
Ethernet indicators:
LNK/ACT (Green): When it is on, it indicates that network link is connected properly.
When it is flashing, it indicates that there is data being transmitted and

3.3.1. SW1
1st bit: Switch of Ethernet interface auto-sensing.
On=Close auto-sensing capability.
Off=Open auto-sensing capability (default).
When the auto-sensing capability of Ethernet interface is opened, the auto
MDI/MDIX capability is opened at the same time. Ethernet interface has 10/100M
auto-sensing capability. If connected Ethernet interface mode of switch, hub and
network-card is fixed, then the Ethernet working mode of RC952-FEE1-BL is half-duplex.
When the auto-sensing capability of Ethernet interface is closed, the auto
MDI/MDIX capability is closed at the same time. The Ethernet working mode of
RC952-FEE1-BL is determined by 2nd bit and 3rd bit switch.
2nd bit: 10/100M setting switch of Ethernet interface
On=10M
Off=1001M (default)
The switch is invalid when 1st bit switch is off. The switch determines Ethernet
interface rate when 1st bit is on.
3rd bit: Duplex mode switch setting of Ethernet interface
On=half-duplex
Off=full-duplex (default)
The switch is invalid when 1st bit switch is off. The switch determines Ethernet
duplex mode when 1st bit is on.
4th bit: Fault-Pass-Through switch
On=Open Fault-Pass-Through function.
Local LOS, LOF, AIS, CRC alarm of E1 link can disable the Ethernet interface, in
order to report the link fault to switch. When there is no alarm of E1 link, the Ethernet
interface resumes normal working status automatically.
Off=Close Fault-Pass-Through function.
There is no association between the working status of Ethernet interface and E1
alarm
5th bit: Master and slave mode switch of equipment
On=Slave mode
Off=Master mode (default)
The switch is used for setting master or slave mode of RC952-FEE1. When
RC952-FEE1 works with RC952-FEE1, one is must be set master mode and another is
slave mode. When RC952-FEE1-BL works with RC951-8FEE1, it must be set slave
mode.
When the working mode of RC952-FEE1 is master mode, it can be managed by
network management software. And it can manage the remote RC952-FEE1, which the

working mode is slave. When the working mode of RC952-FEE1 is slave mode. Working
status only can be checked by network management software, it can not be configured.
6th bit: Clock mode switch
On=Slave clock mode
Off=Master clock mode (default)
If there is timing equipment in E1 link, RC952-FEE1 of both sites must be set
slave clock mode. If there is no timing equipment in E1 link, RC952-FEE1 of one site
is set master clock mode and RC952-FEE1 of another site is set slave clock, or
RC952-FEE1 of both sites are set master clock mode.
7th bit: Loop-back control switch
On=Open loop-back function
Off=Close loop-back function (default)
If loop-back function is opened by Dip-switch, network management software
can not disable it.
8th bit: Loop-back position switch
On=Local loop-back
Off=Remote loop-back (default)
The switch is available only when 7th bit switch is on. Loop-back illustration is
following:
Remote loop-back
Local loop-back
3.3.2. SW2~5
1st bit of SW2: Framed/unframed optional switch of E1 interface
On=E1 framed mode. transmission bit rate is N*64Kbps, N=1~31
Off=E1 unframed mode, transmission bit rate is 2048Kbps (default)
When the working mode of E1 is unframed (default), the 2nd~8th bit of SW2 and
SW3~SW5 is invalid. These switches are available, when 1st bit of SW2 is on.
2nd~8th bit of SW2 and SW3~SW5: Switch of E1 time-slot occupation
On= Occupation
Off=Not occupation (default)
The 31 bits switches corresponding with TS1~TS31 of E1 time-slot. When
framed mode is set by user, it needs to set these 31 bits switches to select time-slot.

ON Framed Ethernet service occupies the time-slot
OFF Unframed Ethernet service does not occupy the time-slot
Note: When E1 is framed mode, it needs to ensure the switches of time-slot
occupation is not all Off, at least there is one switch is On.
3.3.3. SW6
1st and 2nd bit: Mode switch
1st bit 2nd bit Mode
OFF Random Mode 1
ON ON Mode 2
ON OFF Mode 3
When the equipment is set mode 2 or mode 3, E1 is unframed mode. So the another site
equipment must be unframed mode.
3rd bit: Buffer size optional switch
ON=Small buffer
OFF=Big buffer (default)
When the equipment uses big buffer, it is suitable for to transmit data service, when
the equipment uses small buffer, it is suitable for to transmit image service.
4th bit: Error bits test switch
On=Open error bits test function
Off=Close error bits test function (default)
The function is convenient for users to test network. At present, error bits
test supports statistic function of ES and SES, which is stated in G.821/826 protocol.
But statistic period is fixed 5 minutes (nonstandard). During the 5 minutes test period,
status of error bits can be checked through network management.
The equipment transmits Pseudo-Random Test Sequence at all times during
the test of error bits, and service and network management control will be stopped.
So when using the function, remote equipment should be set local loop-back status or
local equipment should be set remote loop-back status.
When applying the power supply, please note: in order to prevent between E1
line equipment potential difference oversized, for the equipment connection security.
It is suggested user first connect E1 line then turn on power supply. The E1 interface
should avoid hotly inserting and pulling out.
