Chapter 7E&M Ports

7.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information regarding the configuration and troubleshooting for the
E&M Voice Circuits.
The E&M ports manage the flow of toll-grade voice traffic through the IMACS-200 system.
Each port encodes an analog (voice, VF) signal to a digital bitstream at the local integrated
access system for transmission over a T1 network. Each port also decodes the digi tal signal t o
analog at the remote system. The E&M ports support Transmit Only (TO) and Type I, Type
II, Type IV and Type V signaling.
Each port connects to a CPE voice circuits from a PBX or other user facility.

7.2 E&M Description

7.2.1 IMACS-200 E&M Description

The IMACS-200 E&M ports provide an extended transmit TLP range (-16.3dB to + 7.5) for
dedicated 4-wire modem applications. This range is required for d ata spee ds of 19. 2 kbps and
higher.
The IMACS-200 supports signalling on the E&M ports. Supported signaling types are Type
I, Type II, Type IV and Type V and are discussed on the following pages.
