DESCRIPTION
The Quad Line Interface Unit (Quad LIU)
is a common module for the ADTRAN
standard Total Access 1500 chassis (P/N
1180001L1) or the Total Access 1500 19-
inch chassis (P/N 1180019L1). The Quad
LIU connects the chassis to a T1 line at
the DSX-1 or DS1 level. All data
formatting and line encoding as well as
backplane timing and control are
performed by the Quad LIU.
The Quad LIU incorporates SLC Mode II
operation, fast failover to the optional
redundant offline LIU, and works in
conjunction with the System Controller
Unit (SCU) to provide for Voice
Frequency (VF) Test Access.
There are two versions of the SCU:
Central Office Terminal (P/N
1180008L22)
Remote Terminal (P/N 1180008L23)
The Quad LIU is designed to interface with a T1 metallic Span
(DS1) providing span termination, line build-out, as well as
second-level lightning and surge protection of the Total Access
1500 system from the metallic T1 pairs. The Quad LIU can also be
deployed behind a T1 Network Interface Unit/Smartjack (NIU) or
T1 Office Repeater (T1-OR), including HDSL, HDSL2, and HDSL4
Central and Remote Terminating Units (DSX-1). When deployed
in a redundant Quad LIU configuration, another Quad LIU must
be used to insure proper operation of the additional features.
This release of the Quad LIU software is designed to operate with
SCU software release V15 or later to support these feature
enhancements.
