Page 374 of 894 NT6D71 UILC Line card
553-3001-211 Standard 2.00 September 2004
Power consumption
Power consumption is +5 V at 1900 mA.
Functional description
Each U interface provides two B-channels and one D-channel and supports
one physical termination. This termination can be to a Network Termination
(NT1) or directly to a single U interface terminal. Usually, this physical
termination is to an NT1, which provides an S/T interface that supports up to
eight physical terminal connections. The length of a DSL depends on the
specific terminal configuration and the DSL wire gauge; however, it should
not exceed 5.5 km (3.3 mi).
The main functions of the UILC are as follows:
provide eight ISDN U interfaces conforming to ANSI standards
support point-to-point DSL terminal connections
provide channel mapping between ISDN BRI format (2B+D) and system
bus format
multiplex four D-channels onto one timeslot
perform activation and deactivation of DSLs
provide loopback control of DSLs
Micro Controller Unit (MCU)
The Micro Controller Unit (MCU) coordinates and controls the operation of
the UILC. It has internal memory, a reset and sanity timer, a serial control
interface, a maintenance signaling channel, and a digital pad.
The memory consists of 32 K of EPROM that contains the UILC operating
program and 8 K of RAM that stores interface selection and other functions
connected with call activities.
The reset and sanity timer logic resets the MCU.
