1.1 Introduction
The line/trunk group (LTG) forms the interface between the digital environment of the
node and the digital switching network (SN).
The LTG perform non-central control functions and thus relieve the coordination
processor (CP) of routine work. Several LTG types are available for optimal
implementation of the various line types and signaling methods. The LTG types
essentially have the same basic structure and operate according to the same
principles. They differ only in a few hardware units and the specific application
programs in the group processor (GP).
The connection between the LTG and the duplicated switching network (SN) is made
by a secondary digital carrier (SDC). The transmission rate on the SDC from the LTG
to the SN and vice-versa is 8192kbps (abbreviated to 8Mbps). Each of these 8Mbps
multiplex systems has 127 time slots, each with 64kbps for user and CCS7
information, and one 64kbps time slot (TS0) for internal messages between LTG, CP
and CCNC..
The LTG always transmits and receives the speech information via both sides of the
switching network (SN0 and SN1). Both SN sides thus receive the same user
information. The LTG only assigns the speech information from the active switching
network unit to the subscriber concerned. The other SN side is designated as inactive
and can transmit and receive the current user information immediately if a fault
occurs.

1.1.1 LTG Types in EWSD

In order to optimally realize various line types and signaling systems, several LTG
functional types each with specific application programs are available.
These various functional types of the LTG SW determine the connecting capabilities
to an LTG.
Different types of LTG frames exist simultaneously.
The table opposite shows which LTG software functional type is compatible with
which hardware implementation.

1.1.2 LTG Types in D900

In the D900 switch all LTG applications belong to the functional type "B".
Depending on the application and age of the LTG the following hardware types may
be used in the D900 system:

LTGG, oldest used type, necessary for OCANEQ and IN tasks

LTGM, current standard type for all other kinds of applications

LTGN, new type, replaces LTGM

TIP
In older switches another LTG hardware type can be found, the LTGB. It is not used
in newer D900 systems and will not be discussed in this chapter.

1.2 Hardware
The various LTG types basically have the same internal structure and consist of the
following physical or logical units. Depending on the LTG type, these units can be
found on different hardware modules:

Group Processor
The group processor (GP) matches the incoming information from the surrounding
network node area to the internal message format of the system and controls all the
parts within the LTG.

Link Interface Unit (LIU)

The LIU connects the LTG to the duplicated SN (SN0 and SN1). The LIU converts
the 8Mbps multiplex highway arriving from the GS into two parallel 8Mbps SDC to the
SN. Conversely, it receives the user information from the switching network via two
parallel SDC. The LIU selects the data from the switching network-half designated as
active and forwards it to the GS. The LIU synchronizes the information arriving over
SDC from the SN with the LTG-internal clock system and feeds the node clock
(8192kHz) to the group clock generator of the LTG. It extracts the CP commands
from the message channel (TS0) and forwards them to the GP. In the opposite
direction, the LIU transfers GP messages to the CP. After each connection setup, the
LIU verifies correct through-connection in the SN with the aid of the cross-office
check (COC). For this purpose, the calling LIU sends a test bit sequence that is
reflected by the LIU of the called side. If the transmitted and reflected bit patterns are
identical, the established connection is switched through to the subscriber.

Group Clock Generator (GCG)

The GCG supplies the LTG with the required control clocks. The crystal oscillator in
the GCG is synchronized with a signal derived from the system clock in the LIU via a
phase-locked loop.

Signaling Link Control (SILC) part

The Signaling Link Control (SILC) part functions as an input/output processor. The
SILC is used to connect a number of signaling channels via which either the protocol
for DLU access (DLU protocol) or the ISDN D-channel protocol for the primary
access (PA protocol) can be handled. The transmission protocols are based on the
HDLC procedure.
On the LTG side, the SILC completes the layer-2 functions of signaling protocols
(synchronization, error detection, error handling) and thereby guarantees secure
message exchange between peripheral units and the GP.

Signaling Unit (SU)

The SU is a logical unit of the LTG. Physically, the following subunits are possible:

Code Receiver (CR)
The CR receives and detects multifrequency signals (DTMF, MFC-R2, MFC-R1).

Tone Generator (TOG)
The TOG generates the audible tones required for all line/trunk units (LTU) and
the frequencies needed for multifrequency dialing (MFC).

Receiver Module for Continuity Check (RM:CTC)
The RM:CTC is necessary for testing CCS7 trunks.

Line/Trunk Unit (LTU)

The LTU is a logical unit of the LTG. It contains different modules for special tasks.
Possible module types are:

Digital Interface Unit (DIU)
The DIU is used to connect PDC systems like PCM30 or PCM24.

Local DLU/DSU Interface (LDI) (1)
The LDI is used to connect a local DLU/DSU by a 4 Mbps carrier

Conference Unit (COUB for LTGG or COUC for LTGM/N) (1)
Multiparty conferences require the conference unit. The COUB module can handle
four conferences with up to eight subscribers each, the new COUC module has 32
ports, which can be used in any combination (e.g. one conference with 14
subscribers and two with 9 subscribers. Additionally, the COUC has on board echo
compensation.

Digital Echo Compensator in D900 (DEC, not possible for LTGG) (1)
A DEC is necessary for connections between mobile and fixed networks to
compensate the reflection and delay occurring with this connections.

Operationally Controlled Announcement Equipment (OCANEQ, yet only LTGG)
The OCANEQ is used for standard and individual announcements. It can be
controlled by the switch or by subscriber inputs (OCANEQ and Code Receivers as
part of a User Interactive Dialog UI LTG).

Automatic Test Equipment ATE in EWSD
An ATE is used for trunk testing, mainly done for trunks on analog transmission
systems

Code Receiver (1)
Additionally to the Signal Unit SU the LTU may also contain CR: Different CR
types are possible, e.g. for MFC:R2 or push-button dialing. The max. 8 code
receivers in LTU position may exist as extra modules (LTGG) or may be integrated
on other LTG modules (LTGM/N).

Line Trunk Group (LTG) Siemens

MDTOG in EWSD (1)

This module is used to deliver the A-party number to analog wired subscribers of
the exchange. The used method is called Frequency Shift Key FSK. A MDTOG
can be connected via SN to any analog DLU port of the EWSD exchange (pool
solution).

Group Switch (GS)

The GS is a non-blocking space-time stage for 512 channels. The GS interconnects
the LTU, SU, LIU and optional the SILC (via GP). The speech data can be attenuated
for each channel in eight stages. Up to 64 conferences (three subscribers and
audible tones) are possible.

GS for LTG with functional type B:
Beside the connection to LIU (8 Mbps), to the SU (2x2Mbps to TOG and 2Mbps to
CR) and to the SILC the GS offers 8x32 ports for 8 LTU. How many of the LTU0-7
can be equipped with HW modules depends on the LTG HW type. The remaining
LTU can be used for specific applications which do not require HW.

GS for LTG with functional type C:
Beside the connection to LIU (8 Mbps) and to the SU (2x2Mbps to TOG and
2Mbps to CR) the GS offers 4x32 ports for 4 LTU. These LTU0-3 are normally
used as DIU.

1.2.1 The LTGG

1.2.1.1 The LTGG in D900

In the D900 system the LTGG can be used for any task, except the connection to the
PSTN, because it is not possible to install a DEC in the LTGG. Since the newer LTG
can replace almost all LTGG tasks, it is mostly used for large conferences or as a
user-interactive LTG for intelligent network (IN) functions.
The LTGG consists of the following functional units:

Signaling Unit (SU)

Five Line/Trunk Units (LTU0 to LTU4)

Group Switch and Link Unit (GSL)

Group Processor
For the basic tasks, LTU0 to LTU3 hold a DIU for connection of PCM systems. LTU4
can be used for a code receiver module. For large conferences, COUB modules can
be installed in LTU0 to LTU3. Both module types can be installed simultaneously.
For connecting a DSU, DLU or ISDN primary access line, the SILCB module has to
be installed. If CCS7 trunks are connected, the RM:CTC module is necessary.

As a User Interactive LTG (UI-LTG), the LTGG holds the OCANEQ (operationally
controlled announcement equipment). It is used as an announcement system, which
can be controlled by the subscribers with MFC or even speech.
The following special modules are used:

OCE:SPM (OCANEQ speech controller and memory). This module stores and
controls the text fragments for the announcements.

SCR (speech and code receiver) in LTU2 to LTU4 and SU. Each SCR module can
handle 8 calls.
LTU0 remains empty, modules RM:CTC and SILCB are not used.
In older systems, another OCANEQ type is installed. The used modules are:

OCE:SPC (OCANEQ stored program control). This module controls the OCANEQ
equipment.

OCE:MUP (OCANEQ memory unit). One or two memory units can be used to
store text fragments.
The OCANEQ physically builds up a sequence of logical text fragments from its
speech memory using text fragment numbers. It allows text fragments to be read
using access by means of text fragment numbers. Each OCANEQ operates 31
speech channels and enables 16384 addressable text fragments to be stored.

1.2.1.2 The LTGG in EWSD

In the EWSD system the LTGG can be used for all applications of the functional
types B and C except for the connection of V5.2 interfaces.
The LTGG consists of the following functional units:

Signaling Unit (SU) with TOG (can include RM:CTC function) and CR

Four or five Line/Trunk Units
(LTU0 to LTU3 for LTGG in C function, LTU0 to LTU4 in B function)

Group Switch and Line Interface Unit (GSL)

Group Processor with PMU and CGSM; SILC only used in LTGG in B function

Equipping variants of LTGG:

For the basic applications, LTU0 to LTU3 hold a DIU for connection of PCM
systems.

For large conferences, COUB modules can be installed in LTU0 to LTU3.

LTU4 can be used in LTGG in B function for:
an additional code receiver module with 8 CRP
a MDTOG module

For connecting a DLU or ISDN primary access line, the SILCB module has to be
installed.

If CCS7 trunks are connected, the RM:CTC function is necessary. It is either
included in the TOG (TOGD module) or performed by an extra module.

The OCANEQ can be used as a standard or individual announcement system
integrated in an LTGG in B function. It is controlled by the CP. The OCANEQ
physically builds up a sequence of logical text fragments from its speech memory
using text fragment numbers. It allows text fragments to be read using access by
means of text fragment numbers. Each OCANEQ operates 31 speech channels
and enables 16384 addressable text fragments to be stored.
Older HW solution:
The used modules are the OCE:SPC (OCANEQ stored program control, this
module controls the OCANEQ equipment, located in LTU 2/3) and the OCE:MUP
(OCANEQ memory unit, one or two memory units can be used to store text
fragments, located in LTU1-4). One OCANEQ can consist of a combination of
1 OCE:SPC / 1 OCE:MUP or 1 OCE:SPC / 2 OCE:MUP.
New HW solution:
The used module is the OCE:SPM which includes functionality of OCE:SPC and
OCE:MUP. It is located in LTU1.

1.2.2 The LTGM

The LTGM is the current standard type for EWSD and D900 systems. It is used for all
tasks except connection of OCANEQ. Only three modules are necessary for a
complete LTGM with four PCM systems connected.

The 4 PCM are combined together with the current converter on the module
DIU120A. Logically, this module is treated as LTU0 to LTU3 with ordinary DIU30
modules. Optionally, this module can be replaced by a DIU:LDIM module to
connect to a DLU or DSU via a 4Mbps local DLU interface.

The GPL module (group processor for LTGM) holds the PMU and, if required, the
SILC functionality. Two different GP modules are used:
GPL, Group processor for LTGM without SILC function
GPLS, Group processor for LTGM with SILC function

The GSM (group switch for LTGM) is a combination of GSL, TOG, RM:CTC, CR
and GCG. Depending on the available on board components, different GSM
modules are used. The last three digits of the GSMabc modules define the module
type. The 4rth character (called a) designates by Y the PCM30, by Z PCM24 (not
yet implemented). For the 5th and 6th character the following applies:

Types of GSMabc modules

A 8 times CRPC x x
B 8 times CRMR1 x x
C 8 times CRMR2 x x
D RM:CTC (4 CR only for continuity check) x
X no code receiver x x

Frame for LTGM

As the LTGM has only three modules (four with the optional LTU:S), five LTG use
one frame (F:LTGM(A)). Up to 30 LTGM can be installed in one rack. Each LTG has
its own current converter, located on the DIU120A or DIU:LDIM module.

Frame for LTGN

There are two different frame types for the LTGN. If the LTU:S function is not needed
(e.g. ordinary PCM systems to other network nodes), 16 LTGN can be installed in
one frame (F:LTGN(A)). Up to 64 LTG can be installed in a rack. When the LTU:S is
necessary (e.g. DEC or COUC), only eight LTG are possible (F:LTGN(B)). Each
LTGN has its own on-board current converter.

LTGN concept for power supply

All LTGN of one frame are connected to one pair of fuses. When one of the fuses
fails all the LTGN keep on working using the power supply by the other fuse.

WARNING
Switch of the current converter when changing modules of an LTGM or LTGN!

2.1 Interrogating the LTG

The following commands can be used to interrogate an LTG:
Interrogate the LTG
DISP LTG : LTG= ;
STAT LTG : LTG= ;
DISP LTU : LTG= [ ,LTU= ] ;

For the various possible equipment installed in an LTG, different commands are
used:
Interrogate hardware in an LTG
STAT DIU : LTG= [ ,DIU= ] [ ,OST= ] ;
DISP CRMOD : LTG= [ ,CRMOD= ] ;
STAT CR : LTG= [{ ,LCPOS= ,CRPOS= }] ;
STAT CR : LTG= ,OST= ;
STAT COU : LTG= [ ,COU= ] [ ,OST= ] ;
DISP CONFRNC : LTG= [ ,COU= ] ;
DISP CONFL ;
DISP MDTOG : LTG= ;
STAT MDTOG : LTG= ;
STAT OCANEQ : LTG= ;
DISP OCANEQ : LTG= ,OCNO= ,DATA= ;
DISP OCANEQ : LTG= ,OCNO= ,DATA= ,FRAGM= ;
DISP OCAVAR : [{ ,OCAVAR= ,LTG= }] ;

Most LTU types (like a DIU) consist of several hardware circuits called PORT. A
DIU30 for example has 32 ports, the time slots of a PCM30 system. In most
applications the ports can be displayed and configured separately or in a group of
ports.

WARNING
Configuration of an active LTG to MBL may cause system failure or loss of
calls! The better way is to configure the LTG to conditionally blocked (CBL)
first. In this state, the LTG does not accept new calls, but connected calls are
not released. Wait for about five minutes, then configure the LTG to MBL.
LTG equipment like DIU, OCANEQ or COU can only be configured from ACT to MBL
if the LTG itself is already MBL. The ports of a module can only be configured to MBL
via CBL.

Not all the ports of an LTG can be configured by the CONF PORT command. E.g.
ports towards a DLU will be configured implicitly when configuring the related DLU
system.

2.4 Creation of LTG Hardware

To create an LTG and LTG equipment, the following commands are necessary:
Creation of LTG hardware
CR LTG : LTG= ,TYPE= ,LDPARP= ;
CR LTU : LTG= ,LTU= ,TYPE= ,APPLIC= [ ,MODVAR= ] ;
CR LTU : LTG= ,LTU= ,TYPE= [ ,MODVAR= ] ;
CR CRMOD : LTG= ,CRMOD= ,TYPE= ;
CR MDTOG : LTG= ,MDTOG= ;
CR CONFRNC : LTG= ,COU= ,COUTYP= ;

TIP
After the creation, the LTG, CR, DIU etc. must be configured to active as shown in
section 2.2. Don't forget to configure the ports of the installed equipment if necessary!

EWSD
In EWSD, LTG (LTGG, LTGM, LTGN) work normally as TYPE=LTGB or
TYPE=LTGC. The parameter LDPARP defines inside a function type the LTG software
file (SY.PSW.Txx) which is loaded into the group processor.
The values for the parameter LDPARP are project specific and can be seen from the
project documents. The following are frequently used values for the parameter
LDPARP listed here as examples:

For all applications (except V5.2 interface) of function type B : LDPARP = 2 or 22

For function type B for V5.2 interface: LDPARP = 52

For all applications of function type C : LDPARP = 3 or 33

D900
In D900 systems, all LTG (LTGG, LTGM, LTGN) work as TYPE=LTGB. The
parameter LDPARP defines the software which is loaded into the group processor:
Loadtypes for LTG in D900 systems
LDPARP Applications
22 DLU connection for wired subscribers with ISDN basic or primary access
41 Connection to BSS, DSU and DAS
46 Connection to PSTN, DSU, Loop-LTG, MPTY (conference unit)

To create a module in a LTU, two variants are distinguished:

With application (for DIU modules)

Without application (for everything else)
The following table shows examples of used values for the parameter TYPE.A
complete list can be found in the maintenance manual construction.

Values for the TYPE parameter

D30 DIU30 for PCM30 system
D24 DIU24 for PCM24 system
U07 OCANEQ equipment (OCE:SPM, OCE:SPC, OCE:MUP)
Y25 COUC for multiparty service (conference) in LTGM/N Ω V12
Y22 COUB for multiparty service (conference) in LTGG
V01 CRM8:R2, eight code receivers for MFC:R2 signaling
V15 MDTOG for CLIP for analog wired subscribers
PMA PHMA for LTGM/N to connect an AN via V5.2 interface
V02 CRP8, eight code receivers for pushbutton dialing

Creating a DIU
For creation of a DIU module, the parameter TYPE can be D30 for a PCM30 system
or D24 for a PCM24 system. Also, the parameter APPLIC must be defined:
Values for the parameter APPLIC
CCSCCS Common channel signaling No. 7 (ordinary trunks)
CASCAS Channel associated signaling (e.g. Loop LTG)
CCSDLU DLU or DSU signaling
EXTDLU DLU or DSU extension
CCSLDI Local DLU or DSU signaling (4Mbps interface)
EXTLDI Local DLU or DSU extension
CASRCA Channel associated signaling for recorded announcement machines
CCSPA Primary access signaling (large PABX)

Example: Create PCM30 system with CCS7 in LTU3:

CRLTU:LTG=tsg-ltg,LTU=3,TYPE=D30,APPLIC=CCSCCS;

Creating a CR in an LTG G/M/N

For the code receivers in the signaling unit, the parameter CRMOD identifies the
code receiver module number . For the parameter TYPE, the following inputs are
possible:
Code receiver types for the signaling unit
CRPC Code receiver for pushbutton CEPT
CRMR1 Code receiver for MFC:R1 signaling
CRMR2 Code receiver for MFC:R2 signaling
CRMSC Code receiver for MSC signaling
RMCTC Receiver module for continuity check

Creating a CR in B function

Maximal 8 code receiver circuits assigned to two logical code receiver modules
may be created in signaling unit position:
CRCRMOD: LTG = tsg-ltg, CRMOD = 0,TYPE = CRPC;
CRCRMOD: LTG = tsg-ltg, CRMOD = 1,TYPE = CRPC;
CONFCR: LTG = tsg-ltg, CRPOS = 0,OST = MBL;
CONFCR: LTG = tsg-ltg, CRPOS = 1,OST = MBL;
CONFCR: LTG = tsg-ltg, CRPOS = 0,OST = ACT;
CONFCR: LTG = tsg-ltg, CRPOS = 1,OST = ACT;

Creation and configuration of 8 further code receivers in an LTU position:
The second possibility is to create a code receiver module in an LTU. The
parameter TYPE can be found in the MMN construction.
Example: Create 8 pushbutton code receivers in LTU6 of an LTGM/N:
CRLTU: LTG = tsg-ltg, LTU = 6, TYPE = V02;
CONFCR: LTG = tsg-ltg, LCPOS = 6-0, OST = MBL;
CONFCR: LTG = tsg-ltg, LCPOS = 6-1, OST = MBL;
CONFCR: LTG = tsg-ltg, LCPOS = 6-0, OST = ACT;
CONFCR: LTG = tsg-ltg, LCPOS = 6-1, OST = ACT;

WARNING
In case of LTGG the LTU 4 must be used.
