T3 E3 - ultra-high-speed signal

A T3 line is an ultra-high-speed signal capable of transmitting data at rates up to 44.736 Mbps. An E3 signal is situated at the third level within the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) and has a bit rate of 34.368 Mbps.

T3 or E3 has two flavours channelized (structured) and  unchannelized (unstructured).

  • In Channelized (Structured), a T3 (DS3) consists of 7 T2s (DS2) and each T2 consists of 4 T1s (DS1), thus a total of 28 T1s, or 672 full duplex voice channels are provided. Similarly, an E3 consists of 4 E2s and each E2 consists of 4 E1s, thus a total of 16 E1s, or 480 full duplex voice channels are provided. Thus, a channelized T3 signal carries 28 T1 signals, each operating at a rate of 1.544 Mbps. A channelized E3 signal carries 16 E1 signals each operating at a rate of 2.048 Mbps
  • In Unchannelized (Unstructured), T2s or T1s or E2s or E1s DO NOT exist within T3 or E3. Instead, most of the capacity within 44.736 Mbps for T3 and 34.368 Mbps for E3 is used for data, with a small amount for overhead. With the advent of the internet, T3 (DS3) and E3 can be used to transport not only data, but also packetized voice, and packetized video. Example protocols include Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay

Overview

The T3 E3 Analysis software compliments the hardware and supports simultaneously monitoring up to 12 x T3 E3 lines (2x 2U Rack PC or 6x Portable units) for all alarms, frame errors, signaling and data. If one adds the Channelized T1 Analyzer software to the system, then the T1s within the T3s can also be analyzed in software, 12 x T3 E3 lines (=12*28 T1s) constituting 336 full duplex T1s, or 672 simplex T1s monitored simultaneously using a single mTOP™ Rack unit. With additional applications, such as record-only, one can also record traffic at DS0 levels.

GL’s T3 E3 Analyzer is capable of processing signaling, voice, and data full T3 (DS3) or E3 data streams, dropping and inserting T1 (DS1) or E1, and analysis of HDLC, ATM, Frame Relay, and PPP Protocols. It includes various signal testing capabilities for Unchannelized (Unstructured) and Channelized (Structured) T3 E3 Traffic.

GL also offers mTOP™ Probe T3 E3 variant which includes the USB based T3 E3 Analyzer hardware unit combined with necessary PC interface (Intel i3/i7, 256GB HDD, 8GB memory, Win10 Pro 64 bit) within a single box, making it portable stand-alone tester suitable for field testing.

The channelized option in the T3 E3 Analyzer uses “software-only” approach to support direct access to all 2x28 T1s or 2x21 E1s or 2x16 E1s on a T3 E3 line per board for analysis and monitoring– all within a single PC, including differing T1 E1 framing formats, physical layer alarms, and payloads.

GL's T3 E3 Analyzer also includes scrambling and subrate features. Subrate allows fractional bandwidth, i.e. less than the full 44.736 Mbps. Scrambling improves synchronization performance by randomizing repetitive patterns and long strings of zeros.

  • Analysis/Emulation of T3 (44.736 Mbps) and E3 (34.368 Mbps)
  • Analysis/Emulation of ATM, PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay signaling
  • Record/Playback of entire T3 or E3

Physical Layer Analysis

Physical Layer Analysis is used to monitor T3 E3 and T1 E1 line alarms. The analyzer helps to track the time at which alarms (Sync Loss, Carrier Loss, Remote, Distance MF, AIS) occurrs and periodically send these information to either centralized database such as Oracle DB, or send traps to SNMP monitoring applications.

GL’s NetSurveryorWeb™ accesses fetches the records from the central database and facilitates the user to monitor physical layer status of T1 E1 line via simple web based clients. For more details, refer to Network Line Monitor and Test

Supported T1 E1 Alarms

Line Sync Loss: This alarm indication will flash when a receiver resync is in progress. If the receiver is set to auto resync in the Configuration Menu, the receiver will begin resync when an OOF (Out Of Frame) event or Loss of Carrier is detected.

Carrier Loss: Carrier loss alarm is declared when 128 ± 1 consecutive zero's are detected. Carrier loss clears when a ‘1’ is received.

Remote Alarm Detected (E1 Only): This alarm indication will flash when a remote alarm is detected. A remote alarm is defined as the reception of three consecutive bits equal to ‘1’ of timeslot 0 of non-align frames.

Distant Multiframe (MF) (E1 Only): This alarm indication will flash when a distant multiframe alarm is detected. A distant multiframe alarm is defined as the reception of three consecutive 1s at bit position of timeslot 16 in frame 0. This indication is only valid when in CAS mode.

Alarm Indication Signal (AIS): The receiver detects an AIS pattern when it receives less than three zeroes in any string of 2048 bits.  The AIS condition is cleared when three or more zeros are detected in 2048 bits.

Supported T3 E3 Alarms

Loss of Signal (“LOS”) : This is the most basic of all alarms.  No signal is present.  Usually this means that the cable is broken or disconnected, or that the remote device is out of service.  No other alarms are meaningful when LOS is present.  In the T1 E1 Analyzer, this alarm is referred to as “Carrier Loss”.
In the software Rx Framers, an all-0 signal is interpreted as Loss of Signal.

Loss of Frame Alignment (“LOFA”) : LOFA is also known as “Out-of-Frame” (“OOF”) or “Sync Loss”, a signal is present but the Rx Framer is unable to synchronize with the incoming multiframes.  This usually means that either the framing strategies are incompatible (E1 T1 mismatch, DE4/ESF mismatch, etc.), or the signal is so poor that frame sync cannot be reliably established.  It may also mean that the receiving equipment is expecting CRC but the sending equipment is not transmitting CRC.  In the T1/E1 Analyzer, this alarm is referred to as “Sync Loss”.

Alarm Indication Signal (“AIS”) : In the T1 world, this is referred to as “Blue Alarm”.  In the E1 world, it is referred to as “AIS”.  The AIS/Blue Alarm signal is an unframed all-1s bit pattern.  Note that a framer receiving a blue alarm will lose frame sync, and will raise a red alarm if the condition persists for more than 2.5 seconds, since the basic frame synchronization signal contains zeros.

Idle : This alarm becomes active upon reception of the T3 Idle signal. Idle alarm indicates that the line has not been provisioned for service and stays without triggering network alarms.

Remote Alarm Indication (“RAI”) : In the T1 world, this is referred to as “Yellow Alarm”. In the E1 world, it is known as “Remote Alarm Indication” or “RAI”.  A device in red alarm at its receiver must transmit yellow alarm/RAI back to the sending device, alerting it that the receiving device cannot synchronize with the signal being sent.  We got this one right on our T1/E1 Analyzer alarm dialogs.

Excessive 0’s : An EXZ occurrence is defined as three or more consecutive zeros in the T3 mode and four or more consecutive zeros in the E3 mode.

Channelized T3 E3 working principle


Working Principle

The T3 E3 hardware platform with associated T1 E1 Send/Receive Server and Channelized T3 E3 analyzer software can generate, capture, record, and monitor multiple T1 or E1 channels over Channelized T3 E3 links. It can perform analysis of various signal types including voice, digits, tones, fax, modem, and raw data.

The Channelized T3 E3 to T1 E1 solution, comprises of two modules, namely, the High-Speed T3 E3, and Low-Speed T1 E1 modules. These two modules are actually two separate processes running on the same computer. The High-Speed T3 E3 process is called as T1 E1 Send/Receive Server, as the name suggests it runs as a service and works with USB T3 E3 hardware. The Low-Speed T1 E1 module part is referred to as Channelized T3 E3 analyzer software.

The T1 E1 Receive Server application within USB T3 E3 analyzer acts as software-based Multiplexer- Demultiplexer application capable of channelization of a T3 signal into 56 independent T1 channels and an E3 signal into 32 E1 channels. The channelized streams containing T1 E1 frames are forwarded to T3 E3 Channelized T1 E1 analyzer software over UDP using GL Message Protocol for analysing frames per channel.
