OFF=E1 transparent mode, or unframed mode, and the transmission 2048Kbps（by
default）
E1 is in transparent mode by default, and then switch SW3 is invalid. SW3 only works
in fractional mode.

nd
bit：Fault-Pass-Through switch. ON means to enable Fault-Pass-Through. When
there are LOS, LOF, AIS, CRC, RAL alarms which may lead to Ethernet interface failure, it
will report to controlling computer. Ethernet interface works normally only there is no E1
link alarm. OFF means to disable the function, that is to say there is no relation between
Ethernet interface and E1 alarms.

In the table above, “0” represents ON， “1” represents OFF. For instance, 384Kbps
bandwidth setting should be “00110”, then the Dip-switch should be setup as “ON, ON,
OFF, OFF, ON”. It’s recommended that you’d better firstly write down the binary code of
bandwidth you required, then set up according to the regulation of “1=OFF, 0=ON”. The
default status of these 5 bits dip-switches are OFF.
Note: The bandwidth of local and of remote should be the same.
“Maximum bandwidth 1” means maximum bandwidth in the condition of PCM30.
“Maximum bandwidth 2” means maximum bandwidth in the condition of PCM31.
6th bit：PCM 31/30 optional switch in E1 fractional mode.
ON means PCM30 mode，also called FAS+CAS mode.
OFF means PCM31 mode, also called FAS only mode (default mode).
This bit of Dip-switch of two inter-operated interface converters should be the same;
otherwise the equipment will work abnormally.
7th bit：CRC4 checkout option switch in E1 fractional mode.
ON means to disable CRC4.
OFF means to enable CRC4 (by default).
It can be set up for user’s requirement, but OFF is recommended. This bit of Dip-switch of
two inter-operated interface converters should be the same; otherwise the equipment will
work abnormally.
8th bit：clock mode optional ON/OFF Dip-switch.
ON means to follow up E1 link and receive timing, also called Slave Clock.
OFF means local site timing, also called Master Clock (by default).
This bit of dip-switch is effective only in the condition of E1fractional mode.
In E1 fractional mode, the two interconnected converters should be set up as one master
clock mode at one side, and another one is slave clock mode at another side. If not, they
will work abnormally. If timeslot cross-connection equipment / multiplexer equipment are
Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd

in serial connection in E1 link, then there should be only one master clock in the E1 link,
and the rest equipments will receive clock following E1 link.

Note: to prevent large potential difference between equipments in E1 link and for the sake
of device interface safety, please connect E1 link before device powered on. E1 interface
should avoid hot-swap.
4.2.6 SW4 switch indication
SW4 is factory default set, and can not be changed by users.
4.3 Occupation of transmission data in E1 fractional mode
(1) Timeslot occupation in PCM31 mode
In PCM31 mode, N≤31，timeslot 0 is occupied by system. N accounts from 1st timeslot.
(2) Timeslot occupation in PCM30 mode
In PCM30 mode, N≤30, timeslot 0, timeslot 16 are occupied by system. N accounts from
1st timeslot and skip over 16th timeslot if exceeds.

6 Troubleshooting
If you have any problems in installation and application, please try to solve it according to
following suggestions. If it still can not be settled please contact technical staff for support.
1． Power indicator (PWR）OFF
There is something wrong with power supply.
2． RLK OFF
There is something wrong with Ethernet receiving link, please check if fiber is cut off or
optical interface of the other end is in 100M full-duplex mode.
3． TLK OFF but RLK ON
There is something wrong with Ethernet transmission link, please check whether fiber is
cut off or optical interface of the other end is in 100M full-duplex mode.
4． LAL ON
If device works in transparent mode, LAL indicator means signal loss or up-stream AIS
alarm.
If device work in fractional mode, LAL means one of the following alarms: LOS (loss of
signal), LOF (loss of frame), AIS (up-stream alarm indication signal), and CRC (cyclic
redundancy check).
LOS means E1 interface can not receive signals.
Please check if the input E1 link is connected correctly, check the pin serial number if 120
ohm twisted-pair is used
Please check if the devices connected to E1 interface of converter are powered on.
Please check if E1 input link disconnects with bit error rate tester.
AIS means there is full 1s alarm of up-stream alarm.
Please check whether the devices in up-stream E1 link are powered on.
Please check if the impedance switch is set correctly, check the pin serial number if 120
ohm twisted-pair and if the connector becomes flexible.
Please check if output link disconnects with bit error rate tester and whether bit error rate
Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd
18
is within limit standard.
LOF alarm can result in LAL indicator flicking or ON, this means E1 signal is out of frame.
If the device works in transparent mode, there is no LOF alarm.
Please chick if interface impedance switch is set correctly.
Please check if bit error rate is within limit standard by bit error rate tester.
If your E1 link has equipments of other brands, there may be a few LAL flicking alarms
when the converter is just powered on, this is normal. Please wait for a while, and the
alarm will disappear. If LAL is flicking for a long time, there must be something wrong with
the link.
CRC alarm means there is severe bit error in E1 link.
In transparent mode, there is no CRC alarm.
CRC alarms may accompany with LOS or AIS, please check if bit error rate is within limit
standard with bit error rate tester.
If the suddenly appeared CRC alarms make LAL indicator flicking, which may result in
network disconnecting, basically this is caused by initializing link process when the
equipment is just reset. In this case, large traffic should be paused for a while, and the link
will recover in 10~30 seconds automatically.
If CRC checkup optional switch---- 7th bit of SWS is ON (CRC disabled), then this alarm
indicator would not be caused by CRC.
5． RAL ON
Remote alarm, this means there is something wrong with remote end device of receiving
direction, please check the link between TX and RX.
6． Severe packets loss
If you need to set the converter in E1 fractional mode (refer to the definition of 1st bit of
SW1), there must be two interconnected equipments in both sides, one in master clock
mode and the other in slave clock mode.
