1.1 Introduction

The KBU 64 Kilostream Backup Unit provides an effective, easy to

implement, automatic backup for X21 Kilostream or other leased digital

data circuits, over the ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network).

ISDN is a public switched digital network, enabling simultaneous multi-

service connection over a single pipe, consisting of two 64Kbit/s streams

and one 16Kbit/s control channel.

The KBU 64 is available either as a dual channel device (offering backup

facilities to two independent 64Kbit/s lines, or one 128Kbit/s line when

used in conjunction with a Fivemere MCX 128 multiplexer). It is also

available as a Rackmount version which allows up to a maximum of 13

units (i.e. 13 X Dual-Channel KBU 64s), each offering the same facilities

already discussed.

The KBU 64 is designed to sit in the data path between the Kilostream

Network Termination Unit (NTU) and your user equipment, see Figure

1.1.

Full details of the rackmounted KBU 64 are provided in KBU 64 User

Manual 80-10100001.

Figure 1.1 KBU 64 sits in the data path

During normal operating conditions, user data passes over the

Kilostream link in the normal manner, with the KBU 64 remaining

transparent to the system. If a failure occurs on the Kilostream line, this

is detected by the KBU 64. After a user defined elapsed time, the KBU

64 dials a remote KBU 64 via the ISDN line . Upon verification of an

acceptable connection the data is then re-directed over this backup path

at 64Kbits per second.

Kilostream backup operation is user configured for either automatic or

manual initiation. While the backup data circuit is in use the KBU 64

monitors the failed Kilostream line and upon detection of its recovery

clears the ISDN call, when data is returned to the Kilostream line (main

leased circuit).

This is the KBU 64

1.2 Features

The main features include:

• Independent operation of the two main circuit channels.

• Rack mountable, up to 13 KBU 64s in one standard 482mm X

400mm X 370mm rack.

19K2, 38K4, 48K, 56K, 64Kbit/s.

• Support for asynchronous data rates of 300, 600, 1K2, 2K4, 4K8,

9K6, 19K2, 38K4 bit/s.

• Asynchronous word lengths of 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 bits.

• Automatic fault detection on the Kilostream circuits.

• Fully automatic or manually initiated dialling and backup of a

Kilostream Link.

• Local or remote control of the switch to a backup circuit.

• Fully automatic or manually initiated restoral to the main circuit.

• Automatic re-dial and alternate number dialling.

• Fail-safe main circuit routing.

• Storage of 99 ISDN telephone numbers for each of the two ISDN

channels, including a 5 digit sub-address number.

• User definable line failure detection modes.

• Remote Configuration and monitoring.

• Command line user interface.

• Line integrity testing, both manual and automatic.

• ‘Alarm’ output port for event logging, printing.

• Relay contact output for alarm indication.

• Security using Calling Line Identification.

• ‘Pass Through’ relays in the event of a power loss.

• Talkwire compatibility with 6421 (with compatible 6421 software).

• Password protected command interface.

• Multiple Time Windows automatic back up operation.
