Break (msec)
PPM
For CO, DIOD, FX, PCOL, and WATS trunks. This field appears when the 
Direction field is 
outgoing or two-way.
Frequency
This field identifies the PPM pulse frequency(ies) sent by the public network. It 
appears if the Direction field is 
outgoing or two-way and PPM is y. Circuit packs 
can detect up to three different frequencies, (12kHz, 16kHz, and 50Hz), plus two 
frequency combinations, (50Hz/12kHz and 50Hz/16kHz). This field controls 
TN465B, TN2138, and TN2184 circuit packs.
Valid entries Usage
Enter the duration of the break interval (the pulse duration) while the system is 
outpulsing digits using dial pulse signaling. The field cannot be blank.
20 to 80 in 
increments of 5If PPS field is 10, the sum of the Make (msec) and Break 
(msec) fields must equal 100.
10 to 40 in 
increments of 5.If the PPS field is 20, the sum of the Make (msec) and Break 
(msec) fields must equal 50.
Valid entries Usage
y/n 
Enter y if Periodical Pulse Metering (PPM) pulses should be 
collected from the public network to determine call cost. If this 
field is 
y, the Frequency field appears.
Valid entries Usage
12k
The TN465B (or later) and TN2184 can only detect 12k and 
16kHz PPM. Therefore, if 
12k is administered, the circuit pack 
will be set to detect 12kHz. 
16kThe TN465B (or later) and TN2184 can only detect 12k and 
16kHz PPM. Therefore, if 
16k is administered, the circuit pack 
will be set to detect 16kHz.
50The TN465B (or later) and TN2184 can only detect 12k and 
16kHz PPM. Therefore, if 
50 is administered, the circuit pack 
will be set to detect 16kHz.

This screen appears when the Direction field on Page 1 is 
outgoing or two-way 
and the ATMS field is 
y on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen.
The figure below shows a common configuration for page 4 of the Trunk Group 
screen when the Group Type field is 
co. This screen is only an example, and the 
fields shown below may change or disappear according to specific field settings.

TTL Type
Specifies the type of terminating test line (TTL) selected for testing trunks. The 
TTL type determines what ATMS tests can be completed and thus which 
threshold values need to be administered.
The following table explains the differences between types of terminating test 
lines:

The far-end switch containing the TTL may be any of the following:
nSystem 85 R2 switch, equipped with the Maintenance/Test Board 
(TN771B)
nSystem 75 R1V2 and beyond, all of which contain the circuitry required to 
perform the TTL function
nSystem 85 R2 switch, equipped with the Analog/Digital Facility Test 
Circuit (ADFTC, SN261)
nDIMENSION FP8, equipped with the Analog Facility Test Circuit (AFTC, 
ZLC-12)
nCentral Office switches, equipped with various TTL equipment that 
provide 100, 102, or 105 test line capabilities (56A)
Other vendors’ switches may be supported if compatible test lines are provided by 
these switches.
Four different versions of the ATMS Threshold Administration page can appear 
depending upon the measurements allowed by the TTL type selected. The four 
possibilities are:
1. 105-w-rl and 105-wo-rl 
— All thresholds appear.
2. high-lts and low-lts 
— All thresholds (except maximum C-notched noise) 
appear.
3. 100 
— All thresholds (except maximum c-notched noise, 404Hz loss, and 
2804 Hz loss) appear.
4. 102 
— Only 1004 Hz loss threshold appears.
