 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
 Page 245 of 894
Overview
The LEI card is an IPE line card that provides a cost-effective, all-digital 
connection between E1 compatible terminal equipment (such as voice mail 
systems, voice response units, trading turrets, etc.) and the system. In this 
application, the terminal equipment can be assured access to analog (500/
2500-type) telephone line functionality such as hook flash, SPRE codes and 
ringback tones. The LEI supports line supervision features such as loop and 
ground start protocols. It can also be used in an off-premise arrangement 
where analog (500/2500-type) telephones are extended over twisted-pair or 
coaxial E1 with the use of channel bank equipment.
The LEI offers significant improvement over the previous alternatives. For 
example, if a digital “trunk-side” connection were used, such as with the DTI/
PRI interface card, “lineside” functionality would not be supported. 
Previously, the only way to achieve lineside functionality was to use analog 
ports and channel bank equipment. With the LEI, a direct connection is 
provided to the IPE. No channel bank equipment is required, resulting in a 
more robust and reliable connection.
When used for connecting to third-party applications equipment, the LEI 
offers a number of benefits. It is a more cost-effective alternative for 
connection because it eliminates the need for expensive channel bank 
equipment. The LEI card supports powerful E1 monitoring, and diagnostic 
capability. Overall costs for customer applications may also be reduced 
because the E1-compatible IPE is often more attractively priced than the 
analog-port alternatives.
The LEI is compatible with all IPE-based systems and with standard public 
or private CEPT-type carrier facilities. It supports CRC-4- or FAS only 
framing formats as well as AMI or HDB3 coding. Because it uses standard 
PCM in standard E1 timeslots, existing E1 test equipment remains 
compatible for diagnostic and fault isolation purposes. A/B Bit signaling may 
be customized according to the user’s system, including the Australian P2 
signaling scheme.
Card interfaces
The LEI passes voice and signaling data over DS-30X loops through the 
DS-30X Interface circuits and maintenance data over the card LAN link.
