2. APPLICATIONS
The 522‐10QI3 provides an interface between a DS3 Facility
and the customer interface by terminating a DS3 (44.736Mb/s)
High‐Cap Digital Service derived over a 75‐ohm coaxial cable
pair. The 522‐10QI3 also monitors the performance of the DS3
service and isolates service problems. The 522‐10QI3 can also
be used in range extension applications. The primary function
of the unit is to provide a maintenance far end loopback along
with Performance Monitoring. In addition, it contains a built‐
in pattern generator for testing purposes. These features aid in
sectionalizing circuit problems.
2.1 Location and Mounting
The 522‐10QI3 is installed at the customer premises on the net­
work side of the demarcation point between the Network and
CPE. See Figure 2. The mounting assembly used to house the
DS3 PM‐NIU is generally mounted after a multiplexer system.
Westell offers a variety of mountings for wall‐mounted and
relay rack applications.
The 522‐10QI3 can be installed between the multiplexer and
the CPE with a range of 900 feet on each side of the unit
(Figure 2). The unit regenerates the signal in both directions.
For automatic fail‐safe operation during cut‐thru, a maximum
loop length of 900 feet (450 ft. on each side) cannot be exceed­
ed.
The NIUs can be installed in tandem to provide additional
range extension (Figure 3 and Figure 4). In this configuration,
the loopback code for the unit at the network end should be
kept at the standard setting, being treated as a standard NIU.

as needed, while reading the following circuit description.

3.1 Side 1 and Side 2 Transmission Paths

The 522‐10QI3 provides transformer coupling on all transmis­
sion ports. Both the Side 1 (NET to CPE) and Side 2 (CPE To
NET) paths provide regeneration of the Network and CPE sig­
nals.
An optional output attenuator allows the signal level toward
the CPE to be reduced by approximately 6dB.
3.2 Monitoring Jacks
Two front‐panel accessible WECO 440A‐type Jacks provide
non‐intrusive monitoring of the DS3 signals. The test set
should be optioned for monitoring to insure proper levels are
received.

framing format in each path. The unit accommodates AMI line
coding using B3ZS format. The unit responds to specific code
patterns to activate various features of the unit. Detection of
these codes functions reliably with a bit‐error rate of 10-3 or
less on the facility.
3.4 Loss of Signal Detection
DS3 signals from the Network are continuously monitored for
LOS and control codes. If a loss of signal is detected, the front-
panel NET LOS LED illuminates red and an Alarm Indication
Signal (AIS) is sent to the CPE. See Figure 6.

3.5 CPE Loss Of Signal (CLOS) ID

Upon detecting signal loss from the CPE, the unit can send an AIS
(continuous 1010), an idle signal (continuous 1100) or passthru
toward the network (see Figure 7). The ID type is selected
through the menu‐based Craft Port. When the signal is restored,
the ID signal stops being generated and the unit returns to normal
operation. Definitions of AIS and IDLE signals are shown in
Table 1. The CLOS ID feature can be remotely disabled for a
20‐minute period by sending a loopdown Far‐End Alarm and
Control (FEAC) message to the unit.

4. OPTIONS & FRONT PANEL FEATURES

The 522‐10QI3 contains features and switch options located on
the front and side (PCB) panels, as shown in Figure 8 and as de­
scribed in the paragraphs that follow.
‐ NOTE ‐
Set any/all manual option switches prior to installing the unit.
4.1 Front Panel Features
4.1.1 Monitoring Jacks
The unit is equipped with two front panel DC‐isolated 440A‐
type monitor jacks labeled XMT MON and RCV MON. RCV
MON allows for monitoring signals in the Network‐to‐CPE
path. XMT MON allows for monitoring signals in the CPE‐to‐
Network path. Both jacks provide the proper termination re­
sistance. These jacks are labelled CPE to NET and NET to
CPE, as shown in Figure 8.
4.1.2 Front Panel Status LEDs
NET and CPE C‐BIT: If these LEDs are illuminated, the unit
is synchronized to the C‐Bit framing format.
NET and CPE M13: If these LEDs are illuminated the unit is
synchronized to M13 framing format.
If LEDs are flashing green, the unit is receiving unframed data.
NET LOS/AIS: Network signal status. When this LED is illumi­
nated yellow, the unit is receiving AIS from the
Network. When this LED is illuminated red, the unit
is detecting a LOS from the Network.
CPE LOS/AIS: When this LED is lit yellow, the unit is receiving
AIS from the Customer. When the LED illuminates
red, the unit is detecting a LOS from the CPE. When
this LED is flashing red, the unit is generating a
CLOS ID signal toward the network.
PWR/STATUS: Indicates the power and alarm status of the
unit. The LED illuminates green (ON) when power is
applied to the unit or OFF if power is not applied. The
LED illuminants red to indicate a fuse-alarm condi­
tion (i.e., on-board fuse is open). A fuse-alarm
condition also activates a relay closure on the mount­
ing assembly.
LPBK: When this LED illuminates yellow, the unit is in Net­
work Loopback. When LED is flashing yellow, the

 R 030‐100682 Rev. A
unit is in Dual Loopback mode. When the LED is
flashing green, the unit is armed in the Inband Loop­
back mode.
4.1.3 Craft Interface Port (RS‐232)
The front‐panel RS‐232 Craft Port allows local access to per­
formance functions and locally provisioning the unit. See
Section 6 for details.
4.1.4 LPBK Push‐Button Switch
The 522‐10QI3 provides a front‐panel Manual Loopback
push‐button switch that allows for manual activation/deactiva­
tion of the Loopback circuit. See Section 8 for details.
5. INSTALLATION
Installation consists of inspecting the equipment for damage,
following proper safety precautions, mounting the 522‐10QI3
in a Westell DBMA200‐XX mounting or equivalent, verifying
the presence of power and signalling as indicated by the status
LEDs (see Section 4.1). The following paragraphs provide de­
tailed instructions for performing these procedures.
‐ INSPECTION NOTE ‐
Visually inspect the product for damages prior to installation. If
damaged in transit, immediately report the damage to the trans­
portation company and to Westell.
CAUTION ‐ STATIC‐SENSITIVE
This product contains static‐sensitive components! Proper
electrostatic discharge procedures must be followed to
maintain personal and equipment safety. Do not store units
near magnetic, electromagnetic or electrostatic fields, al­
ways store or ship units in Westell's original static‐protective
packaging, and use anti‐static mats when working on units.
‐ PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT ‐
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack
is specifically designed for wet locations.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless
the telephone line has been disconnected at the network
interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
This equipment is intended to be used behind devices that
provide primary lightning protection.
This equipment is to be installed in a restricted access
location.
5.1 Powering Considerations
Each shelf is powered from either a +24Vdc or a ‐48Vdc power
source. The mounting also provides an alarm output for exter­
nal reporting of a local power alarm condition. Connections
are provided on each shelf for a back‐up or redundant power
source. The NIU and the mountings are designed for hot inser­
tion and removal, meaning the shelf can be powered when
inserting or removing circuit cards. Westell mountings also
provide metallic cut‐thru of the XMT and RCV transmission
paths when the card is removed.
5.2 Mounting the Module

DBMA200‐XX mounting assembly (or equivalent mounting
which matches the pin‐out plan of the module). The module is
designed for use on the network side of the circuit. Before
installing the module, set any option switch(es) to the desired
position(s). Align the module with the mounting or assembly
card guides above and below the unit and insert as far as it will
go into the slot connector.
‐ CAUTION ‐
Use care when installing and removing modules ‐ do not force
a module into place. If a module resists insertion, remove it
and check for obstructions in or near the module's or shelf's
connectors and mounting slots. The module may then be
carefully aligned and gently re‐inserted.
5.3 Making Installer Connections
The unit makes electrical connection when installed and prop­
erly seated in the 40‐pin card‐edge connector of the mounting
assembly and connected to the DS3 connectors on the front
panel. No installer connections are required for the unit other
than inserting the module into the card‐edge connector in the
shelf or assembly and making the DS3 connections.
6. CRAFT PORT SETUP AND OPERATION
6.1 Craft Port
The Craft Port is a DB‐9 connector with an electrical RS‐232
female interface in a DCE configuration. The device used to in­
terface the Craft Port can be a terminal operating in the VT‐100
protocol or a PC running a VT‐100 emulation program. If a
VT‐100‐type terminal is used, a null‐modem cable may be re­
quired between the terminal and the NIU. If a PC with a
VT‐100 emulation program is used, such as HyperTerminal or
ProComm, a standard RS‐232 cable can be used.
The RS‐232 port should be set up as follows:
S 9600 baud
S flow control set to None
S 8 data bits
S no parity
S one stop bit
S Select emulation as VT‐100
Figure 9 shows electrical connections to the RS‐232 Craft Port.
