HDSL2 for General Distribution PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The HDSL2 modules referenced in this document are used to deploy a T1 circuit using 2-wire metallic facilities. HDSL2 provides extended range to DS1/T1 transport while providing spectral compatibility with ADSL and other transport technologies. The ADTRAN HDSL2 Transceiver Unit for Central Office (H2TU-C) works in conjunction with the ADTRAN HDSL2 Transceiver Remote Unit (H2TU-R) to provide a DS1 service up to 12,000 feet on the local loop.

ADTRAN HDSL2 Remote Units for General Distribution The H2TU-R is a T200 mechanics card which will fit Type 200 or Type 400 mechanics enclosures, as listed in Table 3.
Product Description Compliance ADTRAN HDSL2 modules are NRTL listed to the applicable UL standards. The HDSL2 modules are to be installed in a restricted access location and in a type “B” or “E” enclosure only. These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1.
HDSL2 for General Distribution Installation and Maintenance Practice INSTALLATION GUIDELINES After unpacking an HDSL2 module, inspect it for damage. If damage has occurred, file a claim with the carrier, then contact ADTRAN Customer Service. For more information, refer to “Appendix D, Warranty”.
H2TU-C An H2TU-C module is capable of span powering an H2TU-R module by applying current to the local loop. Current from 10 to 150 mA is coupled onto an HDSL2 span to power the H2TU-R module when required. Figure 3 HDSL2 Figure 3.
5. Secure the module in place by pushing in on the ejector latch. All Other Modules To install any of the HDSL2 modules, with the exception of those explained above, perform the following steps: 1. Hold the unit by the front panel while supporting the bottom edge of the module and engage the enclosure edge.
Power and alarm signals are provided to the module through the backplane of the shelf. DSX-1 and HDSL2 loop signals are connected to the wire-wrap pins or mass termi- nation (amphenol) shelf connectors corresponding to the slot the module occupies.

HDSL2 SYSTEM TESTING The ADTRAN HDSL2 system provides the ability to monitor the status and performance of the DSX-1 signals, DS1 signals, and HDSL2 loop signals. Detailed performance monitoring is provided by the front panel-mounted RS-232 control port (or via the SCU RS-232 port for the Total Access 3000).
HDSL2 for General Distribution Installation and Maintenance Practice H2TU-C Bantam Jacks The front panel of an H2TU-C module contains both metallic splitting ( bantam jacks. jacks provide an intrusive access point, interrupting signal access to the local loop. This will enable the user to transmit a test signal toward an H2TU-R module and to receive a test signal from an H2TU-R module.
Table ADTRAN HDSL2 modules contain smartloop technology which constantly monitors the DSX-1 for a framing pattern. ADTRAN HDSL2 modules will initiate the proper loopback regardless of how the loopback control sequence is sent (framed or unframed). The loopback condition imposed in both cases is a logic level loopback at the point within an H2TU-C module where the DSX-1 signal passes into the HDSL2 modulators.
HDSL2 for General Distribution Installation and Maintenance Practice In addition to network-side loopbacks, an H2TU-C module provides customer-side loopbacks initiated by using either the terminal control port or in-band loop codes. For more infor- mation, refer to “Appendix A, HDSL2 supplied to the network.

HDSL2 for General Distribution Installation and Maintenance Practice HDSL2 DEPLOYMENT GUIDELINES The ADTRAN HDSL2 system is designed to provide DS1 based services over loops designed to comply with carrier service area (CSA) guidelines. CSA deployment guidelines are given below: • All loops are nonloaded only.
Adhering to the guidelines should produce performance in excess of 10 MAINTENANCE The HDSL2 products detailed in this document do not require routine maintenance. In case of equipment malfunction, use the front panel bantam jack connectors to isolate the source of the problem.
Loop has poor signal quality or loss of sync. Basic troubleshooting procedures should identify a problem with the cable pair. Errors are being taken on the DSX-1, DS1 or HDSL2 loop. The craft interface will identify the source. BERT tests toward the appropriate loopbacks should also reveal the source of the problem.
For more information, refer to lines”. 2. Verify that loop loss at 196 kHz is not greater than 35 dB. 3. Verify that noise on the HDSL2 loop is within acceptable limits. 4. If steps through pass and loop sync is still not available, replace unit.

The Splice Detection Feature is included with this product as an aid to troubleshooting. Due to inconsistency in environmental condi- tions and their effect on telecommunications plant, ADTRAN cannot guarantee the accuracy of the measurements. Comparison to existing engineering drawings should provide exact locations of suspect splices indicated by ADTRAN algorithms.
In data mode, the detector will run periodically after synchronization is achieved. The HDSL2/HDSL4 transceiver monitors the loop for impedance changes that are of a magnitude to cause the received signal of the transceiver to be degraded. When a significant...

HDSL2 for General Distribution Installation and Maintenance Practice Splices that are varying in impedance will cause the HDSL data pump to see a reduced and/or fluctuating signal quality (margin). The HDSL data pump will attempt to track these changes, but when the changes become too severe, errors or loss of synchronization result. This is reflected by the symptoms described on this screen.

• Brief power fault incidents (lightning) • Brief signal distortions In the older generation HDSL2 and HDSL4 transceivers, a brief short or GFI would cause a hardware control to quickly shut down the span power supply for safety reasons. The software would then detect the power fault and would hold the span supply off for 3 seconds.
Fast Retrain Feature Fast Retrain is an ADTRAN proprietary feature whose intent is to minimize downtime when an intermittent non power-related impairment (bad splice, noise burst, etc.) affects the HDSL loop and cannot be bridged.
