    Maintenance and Troubleshooting 
    SECTION 2.00 MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW 
    A30808-X5130-DllO-l-6920 
    Issue 1, May 1986 
    2.01 Introduction. This section describes the design con- 
    siderations and maintenance facilities incorporated in the 
    SATURN IIE EPABX. The maintenance concept for the EPABX 
    is based on detecting and isolating failures to the Least 
    Replaceable Unit (LRU), replacing the faulty LRU, and restor- 
    ing normal service as soon as possible. The maintenance con- 
    cept does not include the replacement of components on 
    Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). When a PCB is found to be 
    defective, the PCB must be replaced and the original sent 
    to the repair facility. configuration, the SATURN IIE System is housed in a Basic 
    Cabinet-plus an Expansion Cabinet, which is mounted on top 
    of the Basic Cabinet as shown in.Figure 1.01. The equipment 
    cabinet(s) contain all functional units of the system. The sys- 
    tem is divided into five functional blocks of circuits as shown 
    in the block diagram of Figure 2.00. These functional blocks 
    may be directly related to the system’s hardware groups. The 
    functional blocks are as follows: 
    a. Line/Trunk 
    b. Switching 
    c. Control 
    d. Power 
    e. Ancillary Equipment  2.02 General. In its basic configuration, the SATURN IIE 
    System is housed in a single light-weight equipment cabinet, 
    called the Basic Cabinet (shown in Figure 1.00). In its expanded

    2.03 Design Considerations. The design considerations in- 
    corporated in the SATURN IIE EPABX are discussed below. 
    a. Component Packaging. The SATURN IIE EPABX ar- 
    chitecture is modularly designed to allow maintenance 
    personnel to quickly recognize and isolate failures. 
    Modularity is achieved primarily by using Large Scale 
    Integration (LSI) and Medium Scale Integration (MSI) 
    techniques. Extensive use of these technrques allows 
    greater circuit density on each PCB thereby reducing 
    the total number of PCBs in the SATURN IIE EPABX. 
    b. Dependability. Dependability is the ability of the 
    SATURN IIE EPABX to automatically test system func- 
    tions; detect and analyze failures; reset and/or clear 
    detected failures by attempting automatic recovery; and 
    report reconfigurations and failures when automatic 
    recovery is not possible. The primary objective of de- 
    pendabili?y is to maintain the SATURN IIE EPABX in 
    good operating condition and, when failures occur, to 
    locate and identify such failures as soon as possible 
    with minimal service effect to the customer. 
    2.04 Maintenance Facilities. Maintenance facilities are 
    equipment and features which allow maintenance functions 
    of the 
    SATURN IIE EPABX to be performed. The maintenance 
    facilities are listed below and described in the subsequent 
    paragraphs. 
    a. Power System Unit (PSU) 
    b. Maintenance Phone 
    c. Service Terminal 
    d. Manual On-Line Diagnostic Tests 
    e. Automatic On-Line Diagnostic Testing and Reporting 
    f. Alarm Indicators and Classification 
    g. Alarm Error Codes 
    2.05 Power System Unit. The Power System Unit (Figure 
    2.01) provides maintenance personnel central access to the 
    system’s maintenance functions. The items discussed below 
    are contained on the PSU to centralize its maintenance func- 
    tions. Other items on the PSU, such as fuses and circuit break- 
    ers. are discussed elsewhere in this document. 
    a. 
    ALARMS. The ALARMS indicator section consists of 
    two light-emitting diode (LED) indicators which, when 
    steadily lit, provide a visual status of alarm condition(s) 
    existing in the system. The red LED is designated 
    MAJOR for a major alarm condition and, when lit, in- 
    dicates that the system is unable to process calls and 
    failure transfer is enabled. The yellow LED is desig- 
    nated MINOR for a minor alarm condition(s) and, when 
    lit indicates at least one of the automatic on-line diag- 
    nostic tests has detected a failure in the system; 
    however, the system is still processing calls. 
    b. FAILURE TRANSFER. The FAILURE TRANSFER sec- 
    tion is a three-position switch with two associated LED 
    indicators used to enable or disable, either automati- 
    cally or manually, a customer-provided failure trans- 
    fer relay subsystem. The failure transfer relays are 
    external to the system and are designed to connect 
    Central Office (CO) trunks to preselected stations in 
    the event of a major alarm or power failure. During a 
    major alarm or power failure, the Tip and Ring (T&R) 
    leads of the preselected failure transfer stations are au- 
    tomattcally switched, via the failure transfer relays (op- tionally provided by the customer), to the CO side of 
    the trunk cable pairs at the Main Distribution Frame 
    (MDF). This action allows the stations to originate and 
    terminate calls. Note that a ground start button may 
    be required on the preselected failure transfer station 
    instrument(s) to allow origination of calls on ground 
    start CO trunks. Maintenance-personnel can select one 
    of the three following transfer modes: 
    1. 
    AUTO. The Automatic (AUTO) mode, is the normal 
    position for the FAILURE TRANSFER switch. Inthe 
    event of major alarm or power failure, this mode 
    automatically enables the failure transfer relays to 
    connect the preselected failure transfer stations 
    directly to the CO trunks and bypass the EPABX. 
    Note that, while in this mode and in the event of 
    a major alarm or power failure, no internal calls can 
    be originated from the preselected failure transfer 
    stations. 
    2. INHIBIT. The inhibit (INHIBIT) mode prevents the 
    failure transfer relays from connecting the 
    preselected failure transfer stations directly to the 
    CO trunks that bypass the EPABX in the event of 
    a major alarm. Al! the preselected failure transfer 
    stations remain connected to their assigned sta- 
    tion ports unless a power failure occurs, The failure 
    transfer relays are operated by a power failure (pow- 
    er failure transfer takes precedence over the inhibit 
    mode). Note that the associated INHIBIT (yellow 
    LED) indicator is steadily lit when the inhibit mode 
    is selected. Also, when in the inhibit mode, the sys- 
    tem’s optional remote major alarm indicator is dis- 
    abled, except when a power failure occurs. The 
    inhibit mode allows on-site maintenance person- 
    nel to perform maintenance functicns without caus- 
    ing a system failure transfer to occur or to falsely 
    alert the optional remote alarm location. It is the 
    responsibility of the on-site maintenance person- 
    nel to monitor the system’s grade of service in the 
    inhibit mode, to be sure its service quality has not 
    deteriorated to a point where system failure trans- 
    fer would be beneficial. 
    3. ACTIVE. The active (ACTIVE) mode forces the 
    failure transfer relays to connect the preselected 
    failure transfer stations directly to the CO trunks 
    and bypass the EPABX. While in this mode, no in- 
    ternal calls can be originated from the preselect- 
    ed failure transfer stations; however, the other 
    stations are not prevented from originating calls, 
    providing that the EPABX is operational. Note that 
    the associated red LED indicator is steadily lit when 
    the active mode is selected. Also, when the active 
    mode is selected, the optional system’s remote 
    alarm location is alerted that the EPABX was 
    bypassed by the system failure transfer circuits. 
    c. MTCE PHONE. The Maintenance Phone (MTCE 
    PHONE) section provides a modular jack which per- 
    mits connection of the maintenance phone to the main- 
    tenance line circuit of the EPABX. The maintenance 
    line may be assigned to any Port Equipment Number 
    (PEN). Usually PEN 0000 is assigned to the main- 
    tenance phone. The T&R leads of the modular jack are 
    brought out to the MDF for cross-connection to the as- 
    signed main!enance line circuit.

    Maintenance and Troubleshootrng 
    2.06 Maintenance Phone. The maintenance phone can be 
    either a portable test phone, test set, or a standard two-wire 
    station instrument used to access the maintenance functions 
    of the system, either locally or remotely. 
    a. Local Maintenance Functions. The maintenance line 
    is usually assigned as a Dual-Tone Multifrequency 
    (DTMF) station type; however, a Dial Pulse (DP) or 
    DTMF maintenance phone may be connected to it. Lo- 
    cal interfacing of the maintenance phone with the main- 
    tenance functions is achieved via the maintenance line 
    circuit by connecting its line cord to either the desig- 
    nated iack (i.e.. MTCE PHONE) on the PSU front oanel 
    or the’ T&R leads of the PEN assigned and dross- 
    connected at the MDF. Once interfaced, the main- 
    tenance phone can access a repertoire of system and 
    apparatus diagnostic test programs by dialing the 
    maintenance diagnostic test access code (customer 
    assignable via CMU procedures). 
    During local maintenance functions, a hookswitch flash 
    at any point in a test clears any diagnostic conditions, 
    releases any resources, and returns the maintenance 
    phone to the point where a test select code may be 
    dialed. 
    b. Remote Maintenance Functions. The maintenance 
    phone, when used for remote (off-site) maintenance 
    functions, must be assigned as a DTMF station type. 
    In DP systems, a DTMF receiver must be assigned so 
    that the maintenance phone can be used to commu- 
    nidate with the system. Maintenance personnel at a re- 
    mote area can gain access to the diagnostic test 
    programs by dialing the directory number associated 
    with the Direct Inward System Access (DISA) feature, 
    an appropriate two- to four-digit authorization code, and 
    the diagnostic test access code; or an attendant can 
    complete an incoming call to the test number. 
    During remote maintenance operations, the hookswitch 
    flash signal cannot be sent over the public telephone 
    network to the maintenance port; therefore, after each 
    test is completed, maintenance personnel must redial 
    the DISA trunk directory number in order to perform 
    further tests. 
    2.07 Service Terminal. The service terminal is a customer- 
    provided CRT or keyboard-printer data terminal. It provides 
    further troubleshooting capabilities in addition to the main- 
    tenance phone by interfacing, either locally or remotely, with 
    the maintenance functions of the system via a dedicated data 
    port. Once interfaced, the service terminal can be used to 
    gain access to a repertoire of auditing routines and the failure 
    history memory as well as performing CMU procedures. 
    a. Local Maintenance Functions. The service terminal, 
    when used for local (on-site) maintenance functions, 
    must be equipped with an EIA RS-232-C interface. Lo- 
    cal interfacing of the service terminal with the system’s 
    maintenance functions is achieved via a dedicated data port by connecting its signal cable to the 25-pin 
    W-232-C TTY connector on the front of the CIOP PCB 
    (Figure 2.02). DIP switches on the CIOP PCB permit 
    the baud rate to be set at 300, 1200, 2400, or 9600 
    baud. One or both of the TTY connectors on the front 
    of the RAUP (Figure 2.03) may also be used for local 
    maintenance functions. These interfaces (also 
    RS-232-C compatible) are programmable to any of 15 
    baud rates between 50 and 9600 baud. The default 
    baud rate is 9600. 
    b. Remote Maintenance Functions.. The RAUP PCB 
    (Figure 2.03) of the SATURN IIE System has a 
    designed-in, serial modem port to facilitate communi- 
    cation, via standard telephone lines, between a remote 
    modem and terminal and the main system processor. 
    This modem, which is answer-only and does not dial 
    out, self-sets to either 300 baud or 1200 baud depend- 
    ing upon the incoming baud rate. (The modem port and 
    either or both of the two TTY ports of the RAUP may 
    all be used simultaneously if desired.) A green Remote 
    Active (RMTE ACT) LED on the RAUP lights steadily 
    to indicate when the carrier detect signal is active on 
    the modem accessed by the remote service terminal. 
    The service terminal at the remote site must be 
    equipped with an originating-type modem compatible 
    with modem type 103 or 212A. Maintenance person- 
    nel at a remote area can gain access to the system’s 
    maintenance functions by: 
    1. Dialing the listed directory number for the system 
    EPABX attendant and requesting the attendant (or 
    ANA station user, if the system is in the niqht’mode) 
    to extend to a station-number which-is cross: 
    connected to the SLA port dedicated to the RAUP 
    modem. 
    2. In systems equipped with Direct Inward Dialing 
    (DID), dialing the DID extension number of a sta- 
    tion which is cross-connected to the SLA port dedi- 
    cated to the RAUP modem. 
    3. Dialing the listed directory number associated with 
    the Direct Inward System Access (DISA) feature, 
    a three- or four-digit authorization code, and the 
    number assigned to a station cross-connected to 
    the SLA port dedicated to the RAUP modem. 
    4. Dialing the listed directory number of a dedicated 
    loop-start CO trunk circuit connected directly to the 
    RAUP modem. 
    Once the SLA circuit associated with the service terminal and 
    the RAUP modem port has been accessed, the answer tone 
    is heard when the handset assembly is to be placed in the 
    data mode (e.g., placed in an acoustic coupler). Refer to the 
    SATURN IIE EPABX Customer Memory Update (CMU) Proce- 
    dures practice and the service terminal’s operating manual 
    to coordinate proper operating procedures before any com- 
    mand inputs are entered.
