LEDs
are

is activated. Two
other
yellow LEOs are
labeled data in and data out; these LEOs light

channels, respectively. Afourth yellow LED located

ing current is flowing.
One
optional feature is avail-
able on
the
263DC: apair of gas-tube lightning
protectors for
the
facility-side ports (Tellabs part
number
2630
L2).
1.08 The
263DC
can be powered remotely
(facility-powered) by sealing current
or
battery feed
applied at
the
far end
of
the
facility,
or
can be
powered locally by an external source
of
either
nominal 26Vac
or
-22
to
-56Vdc.
When facility-
powered,
the
263DC
derives its operating voltage
from
the
facility via its simplex leads. The
263DC
requires nominal 20mA sealing current
or
56Vdc
maximum battery feed
for
facility powered opera-
tion. The 263DC's internal sealing current source
cannot be used when the system
is
facility-powered.
When powered from an external source,
the
263DC
requires 18
to
28Vac
or
-22
to
-56Vdc
input. The nominal 26Vac can be supplied from a
commercial 120Vac, 60Hz outlet through use of a
Tellabs
8015
Transformer, which can be ordered at
the
same
time
as
the
263DC. The
263DC
con-
sumes amaximum of
30mA
of current under
normal operating conditions.
1.09 The 263DC is aself-contained DST system
housed in aplastic enclosure with aremovable
cover. Designed primarily for wall mounting,
the
263DC
is also equipped with rubber feet for desk-
top
placement. Ahole in
the
bottom
of
the
cover
(when wall mounted) allows access
to
the
unit for
external connections. Connections
to
the
facility
and
power
source are made at a17-position screw-
terminal strip. Connections
to
the
data
station are
made
to
the
terminal strip
or
to
amodular phone
jack
(similar
to
USOC RJ11C).
1.10 The 263DC can be equipped with
two
optional gas-tube lightning protectors for
the
facility-side ports (Tellabs part
number
2630
L2).
When
the
gas tubes are used,
the
PROT GND pin
on
TB1
must be
connected
to
earth ground for
proper protection from lightning strikes.

application
2.01 The
263DC
DST System is used in applica-
tions
where
adata station communicates with
other
data stations
or
acentral processor unit
(CPU)
over
voice-grade
telephone
facilities. The
unit provides
the
necessary level coordination and
impedance matching
to
interface
the
modem
portion of
either
a4wire
or
2wire data
set
with a
4wire facility. If
the
data station is provided by the
customer,
the
263DC
acts as an interconnect
device,
providing end-termination
of
the
telco
facility.
Loopback
circuitry on
the
263DC
allows
either local (ground) activation
or
remote (two-tone)
activation of facility loopback, with switch-selectable
loopback-path gain of 8
or
16dB. The 263DC-2 and
263DC-3 versions of
the
system provide receive-
channel equalization. All
three
versions can supply
sealing current
to
the
facility.
2.02 Level coordination between
the
station and
the
facility is provided
independently
in each
channel of
the
263DC.
The
receive channel pro-
vides up
to
24dB of prescription gain
or
loss in
0.1dB increments, and
the
transmit channel pro-
vides up
to
24dB
of prescription loss, also in
0.1
dB
increments. The output levels
of
the
two
channels
are controlled by
the
transmit level and receive
level DIP switches (S13 and S19, respectively).
Adjacent
to
each DIP switch position is
the
value,
in
dB, of that switch position. These values are
cumulative;
the
total
amount
of gain
or
loss intro-
duced
into achannel is
the
sum of
that
channel's
DIP-switch positions set
to
in.
The maximum
input
and output level of both channels is
+5dBm.
These
level ranges allow
the
DST system
to
easily accom-
modate
the
-3
receive TLP (transmission level
point) and
+13
transmit TLP (assuming a
-13dBm
OTLP)
required by most modems.
2.03 Adata in and adata
out
LED on
the
cover
of
the
system light when data is present in
the
receive and transmit channels, respectively. The
level
detectors
that
drive
the
LEOs respond
to
data
levels
greater
than
-25dBm.
2.04 Both
the
263DC-2 and 263DC-3 provide
active prescription post-equalization of
the
facility
in
their
receive channels. The 263DC-2 uses a
slope-type amplitude equalizer
to
provide up
to
7.5dB
of
equalized gain at
2804Hz
(re 1004Hz) in
discrete 0.5dB increments. The frequency response
of
the
263DC-2's receive equalizer is
shown
graph-
ically in figure 2and in tabular form in
table
1.
The
263DC-3's equalizer is functionally equivalent
to
the
Western Electric model
309B
Prescription
Equalizer.
In
addition
to
providing slope-type
amplitude equalization,
the
263DC-3
provides
bump-type equalization with variable height and
bandwidth settings. Figures 3and 4
show
the
typical response curves for
the
263DC-3's equalizer
in
the
slope mode; figure 3shows
the
curves
for
loaded cable and figure 4shows the curves for non-
loaded cable. Table 2gives
the
1004Hz
reference
levels for figures 3and 4
for
various settings of
the
slope switch. Figures 5and 6
show
the
typical
response curves
for
the
263DC-3's equalizer in
the
bump mode; figure 5shows
the
curves represent-
ing various height settings versus awide bandwidth
setting and figure 6shows
the
curves represent-
ing various height settings versus anarrow band-
width setting. Table 3gives
the
1004Hz
reference
levels for figures 5and
6.
The equalization functions
of both
the
263DC-2 and 263DC-3 are controlled
by
DIP switches.
