3 Introduction to the EOW unit
The EOW unit has been designed to supply a telephone service channel to be used in networks composed by
new generation SRAL XD and SRA 4 equipment.
The channel availability will be realized on request in selected stations, by adding the EOW unit to the
equipment rack. In a network made up completely of SRAL XD or SRA4 equipment, it will have the role of
service phone channel.
In existing SRAL networks, where the nodes are equipped with previous generation equipment, there are the
plug-in EOW units currently available.
In case of an mixed SRAL/SRAL XD network, total compatibility and interworking is assured between
present and past EOW units.
The new EOW unit described in this manual is also compatible with existing PDH service channels,
employing E&M decadic signalling codes.
2 x V.11 Interface (64 Kbit/s) for connection to SRAL XD and SRA 4 IDUs (User Channel). Both
(1+1) e 2x(1+0) network topologies are supported.
1. Interworking with Siemens small capacity equipment (SRAL) of previous generation.
2. 2 analog interfaces, with 4 Wire+E&M signalling, to guarantee compatibilità with both versions of
EOW SRA L (612-910/21 e 612-910/22).
3. Through E&M decadic signalling, compatibility is ensured with external equipment using this kind
of interface.
4. Selective call (with inclusion function and multiple call) and omnibus call.
5. Local station number, selectable between 2 or 3 digits, and locally programmable through an RS232
interface.
6. Card Fail alarm reporting to supervisory system or radio equipment.
7. Can be used as an analog to digital converter for analog voice channel extension on V.11 channels.
It guarantees error-free data transmission for V.32 point-to-point leased line modems (up to 9600
b/s) and V.32 bis (up to 14.400 b/s).
8. Uses the same handset of the SRA L (634-901/03).
9. Mechanical structure suitable for 19” and ETSI-N3 sub-rack mounting, with 1 SU height.
10. -48V power supply.
11. EMC/Safety compliant , CE marked.
5 General notes
The EOW unit allows access to the telephone service channel, both for the small capacity radio system
(SRAL XD) and for the medium capacity one (SRA 4), exploiting the USER byte in the Base Band frames
of PDH and SDH systems.
The EOW unit interfaces the telephone handset with keypad on one side, using DTMF (Dual Tone Multi
Frequency) signalling system; on the other side the interface is with above mentioned systems, through
access ports with V.11 levels.
Ed. Cover: 06
The unit integrates the circuits of branching, exchange, and restitution of the voice channel and E&M
signalling, to guarantee full interworking with the present telephone channel of SRAL networks, as well as
older PDH selective call systems.
Some network topologies are shown in Figure 1.
The block diagram of the EOW unit is shown in Figure 2 and includes the following devices:
Conversion and branching.
conversation.
DTMF and E&M signalling.
In systems with two separate multiplexing sections (1+1 and 2x(1+0) systems), the operator has access to
USER byte on side 1 and side 2, without duplicating the unit. To the aim of the phone service, the
equipment can always be considered in (1+1) configuration, i.e. the voice signal must be paralleled in the
transmission path and mixed in the receiving path in all directions.
In Figura 3 is shown the block diagram of the EOW unit.

6 Connection type
The user has access to the telephone service channel through the standard telephone interface, 2 wires (TIP,
RING) using the Bantam type jack socket.
The EOW unit allows the following connection types for stations belonging to the service network:
Between any two stations (selective call)
Between one station and all others (omnibus connection)
The two EOW extension ports (4 wire +E&M analog interfaces) will be used towards external equipment.
8 Calls
The EOW unit includes the circuits necessary for generating, sending, receiving and detecting a call.
The number selection is done through the handset keypad.
The user address for each station and EOW unit is performed locally through the LCT (RS-232) port.
The allowed address ranges for the unit are:
2 digits: from 10 to 99
3 digits: from 100 to 999
Ranges from 01 to 09 and 001 to 099 are reserved.
To ensure compatibility towards PDH networks of previous generations (connected through analog 4-
wire+E&M) extensions it is necessary to dial “*” before entering the station address of the PDH network.
The same procedure must be employed when the user wants to connect to networks equipped with selective
call units using more than 2 or 3 digit numbering plans.
When the interconnection with EOW channels of SRAL networks is required, it will be necessary to
connect only the phone wires (Tx+Rx) of both equipment on the analog 4-Wire interfaces.
With a suitable cable, cross-connect only the TX with RX on both sides, leaving E&M wires open.

8.2 Line engagement
The line engagement by the user happens automatically when going off-hook.
The user will receive, in case of free line, the “free” continuous tone, or the “busy” tone if the line is already
engaged.
In the first case, on every station of the area, the green Line LED will go ON, and all other users will receive
a “busy” tone should they go off-hook.
The user has a time limit of 30s ± 5% to dial a number, otherwise the line will be automatically disengaged,
and the green led will go off on all EOW units.
The calling user will receive a busy tone and will have to hangup and redial again.
In case of automatic line disengagement, it is always possible to dial the user that has left the handset off-
hook.
In this case the called user, to answer, must first hangup and then go off-hook.
The line will be disengaged when the calling or called party goes on-hook; the other end will receive the
busy tone.
The line disengagement by at least one user allows the further reception of calls by both parties.
If the call is directed to a user whose station address is composed by more than 2 or 3 digits, or belongs to a
network that uses E&M signalling, it is necessary to precede the actual number with the “*” DTMF code.
This event causes the automatic generation of the answering code by the local EOW unit, with a call
evolution similar to the above.
There are some special functions available to the user: the inclusion function and the multiple selective call.
Ed. Cover: 06
Inclusion Function
A selective conversation between two users of the line must be reserved. Anyway, a user not enganged in
the same conversation can bidirectionally insert its voice in the ongoing conversation, by keeping the INS
button pressed; the insertion will be signalled on line by a permanent inclusion tone.
The exclusion from the insertion is obtained by releasing the button or by hanging up the handset.
In case of omnibus calls, it is possible to address the call to all users of the SRAL or SRA4 service area, by
selecting the fixed “00” number with the DMTF handset.
After the selection the calling user receives the call control tone locally generated.
The call reception automatically connects all the free EOW units to the line with the activation of flashing
green and yellow leds, and of the acoustic announciator.
If, after a 60s ± 5% time limit, no called party answers, the local acoustic announciator will go off, the green
led will be fixed on and the yellow led will continue to flash.
The calling user generates the line disengagement code (causing the switchoff of the leds), receives the busy
tone but is enabled to the reception of further calls; to perform another call he will have to hangup and go
off-hook again.
If at least one of the called parties answers and goes off-hook:
1. Locally the acoustic announciator will go off, the green led will be fixed on (only on stations that
have answered to the call) and the answer code will be sent to the calling user.
2. The activation of the voice link on the receiving side only
The user that answered the call is initially capable of receiving the voice from the calling party.
To enable the bidirectional voice link, the called user must press the INS key.
The reception of the answer code by the calling party causes locally:
1. The interruption of the “call control tone” generated locally
2. The interruption of the 60s timer
3. The activation of the voice link

Ed. Cover: 06
On all the other connected EOW units, that did not answer to the call, the green and yellow leds will
continue to flash and the acoustic announciator will be kept active for a time of 60s ± 5% starting from the
beginning of the call.
After the above timeout, on all EOW units that did not answer the call, the acoustic announciators will be
locally deactivated, the green leds will be fixed on, and the yellow leds will be flashing.
The evolution of optical indications on the front panel, in the omnibus call case, is shown in table 2.

"line engagement";
DTMF code B:
"line disengagement" or "line reset";
DTMF code C:
