1.0 Introduction

1.1 Scope

CS -03 Part VI sets forth the minimum network protection requirements for Integrated Services Digital Network ( ISDN ) terminal equipment ( TE ). Such TE is intended for connection to common carrier provided facilities for both basic rate access ( BRA ) and primary rate access( PRA ).

The requirements contained herein are intended for the protection of the telecommunications network. Conformance to these technical requirements will not ensure compatibility with wireline carrier services.

Note: Requirements in this document do not apply to DS-1 digital interfaces. Refer to CS -03 Part II for all digital interface requirements.

1.2 Network Protection Requirements

1.2.1 Technical Requirements

The technical requirements tables provide a cross-reference between the TE interfaces and the network protection requirements with which they shall comply. These are marked with a single asterisk (*). Network Protection Devices ( NPD s) may be used to comply with the requirements of sections 2.0 and 3.2 as described in the Requirements tables.

Compliance with network protection requirements at the U reference point may be established only when both the network terminator and TE functions are connected together. In combination, the two functions will then fully comply with all of the requirements of this specification. Section 3.5 applies to TE that performs the digital encoding function for analog voice band signals to be decoded in the network.

Notes:

1. The requirements of sections 2.0 and 3.2 apply only to TE to be connected to network facilities at the S or T reference point.
2. NPD s that meet the requirements of sections 2.0 and 3.2 as described in the above table may be used in combination with TE . In such cases, the TE is exempt from compliance with sections 2.0 and 3.2, but is subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 3.5.
3. Section 3.5 applies to TE that performs analog-to-digital conversion for other than live voice signals or generates signals directly in digital form which will be decoded to voice band analog signals in the network.

* means the requirement applies.

Note: Compliance with network protective requirements may be established only when both the NT1 and TE functions are connected together. In combination, the two functions will then fully comply with all of the requirements of this specification. Section 3.5 applies to TE that performs analog-to-digital conversion for other than live voice signals or generates signals directly in digital form which will be decoded to voice band analog signals in the network.

* means the requirement applies.

1.3 Sequence of Equipment Testing

1.3.1 Overall Sequence

The testsshall be performed in the following order:

Section 1.4 Connecting Arrangements
Section 1.5 Operational Check
Section 2.2 (Part I) Dielectric Strength
Section 2.3 (Part I) Hazardous Voltage Limitations (as applicable)
Section 3.0 Network Protection Requirements and Tests
Section 2.1 (Part I) Mechanical Shock
Section 2.4 (Part I) Surge Voltage
Section 2.5 (Part I) Power Line Surge
Section 1.5 Operational Check
Section 2.2 (Part I) Dielectric Strength
Section 2.3 (Part I) Hazardous Voltage Limitations (as applicable)
Section 3.0 Network Protection Requirements and Tests

Notes:

1. Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of CS -03 Part I specify the requirements for:
   1. environmental conditioning electrical stress prior to the tests specified in Section 3.0 of that document; and
   2. hazardous voltage isolation.
2. The steady state voltage stress tests specified in Section 2.3 of Part I shall be performed prior to verifying the surge voltage requirements of Part I, Section 2.4.

1.4 Connecting Arrangements

ISDN TE intended for direct electrical connection shall be equipped with a connector in accordance with CS -03, Part III.

When diagrams shown in this document make reference to tip and ring network interface connections, these references shall be understood to include tip _1 and ring _1 for 4-wire circuits where appropriate.

1.5 Operational Check

When the operational checks are performed before the application of electrical stress, the TE shall be fully operational, in accordance with the manufacturer's operating instructions, for those features necessary to allow demonstration of compliance with all applicable requirements of Section 3.0. When the operational checks are repeated after the electrical stress as described in Section 2.0, the TE may be partially orfully inoperable.

1.6 Connection to Ground

When the TE makes provision for an external connection to ground (G), the TE shall be connected to ground. When the TE makes no provision for an external ground, the TE shall be placed on aground plane which is connected to ground and has overall dimensions at least50% greater than the corresponding dimensions of the TE . The TE shall be centrally located on the ground plane without any additional connection to ground.

2.0 Electrical and Mechanical Stresses

The technical requirements and methods of application for electrical and mechanical stresses are given in CS -03, Part I, Section 2.0.

3.0 Network Protection Requirements and Tests

3.1 Laboratory Environment

All tests to determine compliance with this specification shall be conducted in a laboratory environment at normal room temperature and humidity.

3.2 Allowable DC Energy

3.2.1 Requirement

TE shall not impress DC potentials at the network interface that exceed the limits outlined in sections 3.2.1.1 and 3.2.1.2.

3.2.1.1 Allowable Positive DC Potential

TE that is intendedto connect to the network shall not apply any DC potential that is positivewith respectto ground potential.

3.2.1.2 Allowable Negative DC Potential

TE shall notapply any DC potential that is more negative than 60  V DC with respect to groundpotential.

3.2.2 Method of Measurement

1. Connect the TE being tested to the test circuit as shown in Figure 3.2.
2. Set switch S1 to position "a" and record the voltmeter reading.
3. Set switch S1 to position "b" and record the voltmeter reading.

3.3 Transmitted DigitalSignal Power

3.3.1 Total Power

3.3.1.1 Requirements

For atransmitted pattern of all "ones," the power at 772  kHz shall not exceed +19  dBm and the power at 1.544  MHz shallbe at least 25  dB less, when measured in a 3  kHz bandwidth across a 100 ohms ± 1%, 1  W resistor, when averaged over a 3-second interval, through the minimumlength of cable specified by the applicant.

3.3.1.2 Method of Measurement - Total Power (With All "Ones"Pattern)

1. Connect the TE to the test circuit as shown in Figure 3.3(a).
2. Arrange the TE to generate an all "ones" signal pattern. When this is not possible, use the method of measurement in Section 3.3.1.3.
3. Adjust the spectrum analyzer to obtain a 3  kHz pass band centred at 772  kHz .
4. Measure the transmitted signal power level at 772  kHz averaged over 3 seconds.
5. Arrange the spectrum analyzer to obtain a 3  kHz pass band centred at 1.544  MHz .
6. Measure the transmitted signal power level at 1.544  MHz averaged over 3 seconds.

Description of Figure

R1 = R2 = 100 ohms ± 1%; 1 W.

Note: The spectrum analyzer should providethe correct termination for R2, a high impedance balanced input with a resistoror an appropriate BALUN.

3.3.1.3 Method of Measurement – Total Power(Alternative Method)

The following alternativemethod of measurement may be used when an all "ones" pattern cannot be achieved:

1. Using the test circuit shown in Figure 3.3(c), measure the amplitude of the PRA pulse. Calculate the power at 772  kHz in dBm using the formula:
   
   P772 ( dBm ) = 10 x log [(4/ π x V x 0.707)² / 200] + 30
   
   where V is the amplitude of the PRA pulse.
2. Connect the TE to the test circuit shown in Figure 3.3(b). Adjust the trigger level of the frequency counter at the midpoint of the PRA pulse amplitude. Measure the frequency of the active PRA channel.
3. Measure the 1.544  MHz level using the test circuit shown in Figure 3.3(a) and steps (5) and (6) of Section 3.3.1.2.
4. Calculate the ones density using the formula:
   Ones density % = [result from step 2 ( kHz ) / 772] x 100
5. With reference to Table 3.3.1, use the ones density calculated in step (4) above to obtain the correction factor to be added to the level measured in step (3) above. In the event that the calculated ones density does not exactly equal a value shown in the table, select the closest value.

3.3.2 Pulse Shape

3.3.2.1 Requirement

The shape of anisolated pulse shall fall within the mask in Figure 3.3(d) when measured at the end of the shortest cable specified by the applicant.

Note: The voltage within a time slotcontaining a zero may be greater than this limit because of the undershoot remaining frompreceding pulses (i.e. intersymbol interference). The use of an alternate zeroand ones (dotting pattern) signal will minimize this problem.

3.3.2.2 Method of Measurement

1. Connect the TE to the test circuit as shown in Figure 3.3(e).
2. Use an oscilloscope which is capable of balanced differential measurement and has an input bandwidth greater than 100  MHz ; with a measurement accuracy for the pulse time interval and voltage which will enable comparison of both positive and negative pulses for compliance with the specified pulse mask.
3. Terminate the transmit pair (T and R) of the TE digital interface in a resistive load of 100 ohms ±1%, 1 W, using the shortest cable specified by the applicant.
4. Arrange the TE in accordance with the equipment instructions, so that it generates a quasi-random or dotting pattern at the network interface.
5. Synchronize the oscilloscope to a negative pulse of the incoming 1.544  Mbps digital signal, so that a single positive pulse is clearly displayed.
6. Compare the displayed pulse with the pulse mask.
7. Synchronize the oscilloscope to a positive pulse of the incoming 1.544  Mbps signal, so that a single negative pulse is clearly displayed and repeat step (6).
