PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Description and Features

This line powered device is designed to operate from S-HDSL line power, which can

be approximately 260 VDC when no load is applied and 210 VDC under full load.These voltage levels represent a serious shock hazard. Use caution when installing

this device, and ensure that the line power from the Central Office or the device's

local power is turned off before handling the S-HDSL line.

The PairGain® EtherPhonec RT (Remote Terminal) Network Interface Device (NID) is the subscriber side

of a Single-pair High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (S-HDSL) transmission system. It is an outdoor

enclosure that connects to an EPH-220 to support a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) channel and a data

channel. When used with an EPH-220, the system provides 768 kbps full-duplex transmission on one

unconditioned copper pair over the full Carrier Serving Area (CSA) range. The CSA includes loops up to

12,000 feet of 24 AWG wire or 9,000 feet of 26 AWG wire, including bridged taps.

The EtherPhone system combines the EtherPhone RT Network Interface Device with an EPH-220 line unit to

provide a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy method of delivering high speed LAN and voice extension services

over a single copper pair. The symmetric S-HDSL technology makes this system ideal for LAN and PBX

extensions for the small office/home office environment as well as for telecommuting.

The EtherPhone RT List 1A (part number 150-1515-11) is a line powered unit. It receives its power via the

S-HDSL.

The EtherPhone RT provides two independent access doors.

• Subscriber access door: Allows access only to the subscriber POTS and 10BASE-T Ethernet. See

Figure 1.

• Tel. Co. Access door: Allows access to all internal components. See Figure 2.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW

Application

The EtherPhone RT uses a PairGain 2B1Q S-HDSL transceiver system to establish full-duplex 768 kbps data

transmission between the EtherPhone RT and an EPH-220 line unit. This total capacity of 768 kbps isallocated between the 10BASE-T Ethernet port, and the POTS channel. Bandwidth can be allocated to the

Ethernet port in multiples of 56 kbps or 64 kbps, up to a maximum of 12 x 64 kbps (768 kbps). When Life

Line POTS is enabled, one DS0 channel (64 kbps) is allocated to the POTS line, and up to 11 of the

remaining DS0 channels can be allocated to the Ethernet port.

S-HDSL Transceiver. The EtherPhone RT is connected to a Central Office (CO) via a 784 kpps S-HDSL

link. The bit stream contains S-HDSL frames that are nominally 4704 bits (6 milliseconds) in length. The

S-HDSL frames contain a 14 bit Frame Sync Word (FSW), 6 bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), 21 bit

operations channel, and a fractional DS1 payload with 48 frames each containing 12 DS0 channels and a

framing bit. The frame bits carry the D4 superframe pattern which is used to synchronize the robbed bit

signalling in the POTS channel. These frames are passed to the S-HDSL transceiver which converts them to

the 2B1Q format of the S-HDSL. The S-HDSL operates in a full-duplex mode on a single copper pair. The

transceiver incorporates echo cancellation and adaptive equalization to communicate in the presence of

impairments and noise on the single copper pair.

General guidelines require that the copper loop has less than 35 dB of loss at 196 kHz, with 135 ohms driving

and terminating impedances. The EPH-220 operates with any number of other T1, POTS, Digital Data

Service (DDS), or S-HDSL systems sharing the same cable binder group.

Table 1 provides a guide for the signal loss of various cable gauges at 196 kHz and 135 ohms. Without

specific insertion loss measurement data, add 3 dB for each bridged tap and 1 dB for each cable gauge

change.

Figure 4 illustrates the maximum loop lengths for an EPH-220 transmission to achieve a 6 dB noise margin

(with a 35 dB cable loss) under CSA guidelines. Use thicker gauge wire to achieve greater distances.

Figure 4. S-HDSL Distance Chart

When the POTS line is enabled, the EtherPhone RT receives encoded and decoded voice and signaling into

the first time slot (64 kbps DS0) of the FT1 frame. The voice and signaling information are recovered at the

EtherPhone line unit, and restored to analog format for direct connection to a CO voice switch. The

remaining 11 DS0 time slots are available for allocation to the customer’s 10BASE-T Ethernet interface. To

provide for flexible provisioning, the EtherPhone RT can receive from 0 to 11 time slots to the 10BASE-T

Ethernet interface, and the channels can be configured to operate at 64 kbps or 56 kbps. When the POTS line

is disabled, all 12 time slots can be allocated to the 10BASE-T Ethernet interface. As an example, if POTS is

enabled, and six time slots are allocated to the 10BASE-T interface, and the DS0 channels are configured to

operate at 56 kbps, then the user is provided a single phone line and an independent 10BASE-T Ethernet

interface with a full-duplex data transmission limit of 336 kbps (6 x 56 kbps). In this example, seven DS0

time slots of the FT1 frame are used to transport the customer information and the remaining five DS0 time

slots are idle.

Refer to the EPH-220 technical practice for information on how to enable the POTS line and how to set theDS0 time slots through the EPH-220 Console menus.

EtherPhone RT Powering. The EtherPhone RT is line powered from the CO. It is designed to operate

with a nominal voltage of 200 V dc. The EtherPhone RT consumes approximately 8.5 Watts when ringing

into a 3-REN load.

reasons, and should be managed from the EPH-220

line unit. A minor alarm indication does not necessarily

indicate a service-affecting condition.

Security Hasp. The security hasp prevents unauthorized access to the telephone and data interfaces. The

Tel. Co. Access door prevents accidental customer contact with the internal electronics and the S-HDSL.

The customer can secure the EtherPhone RT Subscriber access door by putting a padlock through the security

hasp. A tamper-proof screw overrides the padlock allowing access by telephone company. personnel via the

Tel. Co. Access door.

Environmental Hardening. The EtherPhone RT enclosure is a standard network interface device, and is

hardened to withstand environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, salt fog, water spray, UV,

and insecticide.

Page 8 EtherPhone RT List 1A

Electrical Protection. The EtherPhone RT is designed to mount on the side of residences, in attics, or in

closets. The S-HDSL interface is usually strung outdoors and is exposed to potential lightning strikes, while

the POTS drop and 10BASE-T Ethernet cable are not. It is assumed the customer interfaces will be wired

directly into a residence or structure. The S-HDSL line has power cross protection, primary surge protection,

and secondary surge protection; the customer interfaces have only secondary surge protection. Primary surge

protection is provided by an insulation displacement that terminates the S-HDSL port. It contains an internal

three element gas-filled surge arrester which provides primary surge protection across the line. The gas tube

conforms to the following specifications:

• PE 80, heavy duty

• Bellcore TR-TSY-000073

• GTS 8376

The primary protector performs insulation displacement termination. It accepts one unstripped drop-wire pair

of either of the following wire types:

• 0.96 square mm (18 to 19 AWG) copper and steel wire with 4.572 mm (0.180") maximum outer diameter

insulation

• 0.25 to 0.48 mm (22 to 24 AWG) solid copper conductor with 0.762 mm (0.030") maximum outer

diameter insulation

Safety. The EtherPhone RT provides a Tel. Co. Access door to prevent accidental customer contact withinternal electronics and the S-HDSL line. The door is secured with a tamper-proof screw.

Corrosion Resistant. All underground connections are protected from corrosive forces by conformal

coating, insulation displacement connectors, or isolated screw terminals.

COMPATIBILITY

The EtherPhone RT is compatible with the following PairGain products, making it useful in many application

situations.

• EtherPhone 220 line unit with 10BASE-T and POTS termination, part number 150-1520-02

• Megabit Modem 220 line unit with 10BASE-T termination, part number 150-1521-01 or 150-1521-02

• DSX-1 terminated Fractional T1 line unit (FT1-220), part number 150-1522-01

The EtherPhone RT is not compatible with doublers.

Close the Housing

Close and fasten the Tel. Co. Access door.

Apply Power

The EtherPhone RT is powered by the S-HDSL line. Ensure that the associated line unit is turned-up andconfigured for Hi power (refer to the Technical Practice for your line unit). If a short was applied across the

Tip and Ring conductors on the S-HDSL pair, remove the short. The EtherPhone RT should power-up within

approximately 30 seconds.

When power is applied, the ALARM and LPBK LEDs flash as the unit goes through self-test. After self-test,

the ALARM LED continues to flash indicating that the unit is powered-up and the S-HDSL line is not yet

synchronized. When synchronization is achieved, the ALARM LED goes out, and the SYNC LED lights.

The LINK LED is lit only if the customer’s Ethernet equipment (such as a PC) is turned on and correctly

wired to the EtherPhone RT. Alternatively, a hand-held Ethernet tester can be used. Simply plug the

Ethernet tester into the customer’s 10BASE-T connection, and verify that the link is established with the

EtherPhone RT.

TESTING THE ETHERPHONE RT

Testing

The RJ type connectors can be removed from the Connector Modules to test the Ethernet and the POTS lines.

• Follow standard POTS procedures to check the overall performance of the POTS channel coming in and

out, including ringing, dialing, and transmission. Use the customer's telephone if possible.

• Follow standard Ethernet procedures to check the overall performance of the Ethernet line coming in and

out.

Using Alarms

Alarms are configured and managed from the associated line unit. Refer to the appropriate line unit

documentation.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION

System Administration

The EtherPhone RT is configured using the EPH-220 Console menus as described in the EPH-220 Technical

Practice, PairGain Section Number 500-605-150, Revision 02. You can enable or disable the EtherPhone RT

POTS line or set the DS0 time slots by simply logging into the EPH-220 connected to the EtherPhone RT. To
