1 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS
FirstMark is a provider of telecommunications services to the genreal public.
The Telecommunications Act (TKG), enacted on 1 August 1996, and the Network
Access Ordinance (NZV) of 23 October 1996, issued pursuant to Section 35 para 5
and Section 37 para 3 of TKG contain standards regulating the grant OF access
to subsriber's line in the form of special network access.
The following provisions regulate the access to subsriber's lines, i.e. to those
lines that lead from the main distributor to the end customer's
telecommunication line unit (TAE).
The main part hereof contains the general terms of contract. Provisions for
technical and operational details, specifications of performance, prices, notes
concerning the organizational procedures as well as other specific provisions
have been added as Annexes and Appendices for editorial reasons as well as to
facilitate any later amendment; as such, they form part of the Contract.
2 DEFINITIONS
For the construction of the terms used in this Contract and in its Annexes and
Appendices, the definitions set out in Annex 1 - Definitions - shall be
considered in the first place, provided that no other construction results from
the context.
Main Contract Version: 19 November 1999 Page 4
3 SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CONTRACT
3.1 SPATIAL ACCESS (COLLOCATION)
Spatial Access (Collocation) is required for access to the subscriber's line.
Said access shall be offered for installing the related equipment in each
exchange area (at main distributor site) under the following variants:
a in Telekom's rooms (physical collocation)
b virtual collocation,
in the event of circumstances which objectively do not, or do not any
longer, justify physical collocation
If FirstMark has already at its disposal any premise for another contractual
relation regarding physical collocation in the relevant exchange area (at main
distributor site), said premise shall be used by FirstMark - if there is enough
room to do so - for installing the equipment necessary for access to the
subscriber's line. If that is the case, only the additional services necessary
for access to the subscriber's line shall be charged as consideration for the
provisioning and lease of Spatial Acess.
The description of service is specified under Annex 2 "Spatial
Access/Collocation".
3.2 ACCESS TO SUBSCRIBER'S LINE
Telekom shall offer access to the subscriber's line in debunched form, i.e.
without series-connected transmision or switching equipment, yet, if required,
inclusive of transmission or other passive technical equipment inserted between
main distributor and telecommunication line unit, according to the variants
listed under Annex 3. Furthermore, Telekom shall provide access to subscriber's
line in bunched form, i.e. inclusive of series-connected equipment in accordance
with the variants listed under Annex 4.
The access to subscriber's line leased to FirstMark shall be dedicated to
FirstMark's own use exclusively. No transfer to third parties shall be allowed.
No debunched access shall be offered where Telekom represents facts which
objectively do not allow for such an offer to be made in the individual case.
Main Contract Version: 19 November 1999 Page 5
Such facts may be, in particular, if due to actual utilization of the requested
subscriber's line, transmission equipment is already used for multiple
utilization of the medium and if through this subscriber's line, even in the
future, other end customers need to be served different from those of the
competitor applying for access, or if, due to demand, relevant equipment has to
be installed for the first time in order to serve other end customers in
addition to those of FirstMark. Similar provisions shall apply in the event that
FirstMark's end customer is to be served additionally by Telekom or other
competitors through said subscriber's line. In such cases, Telekom shall offer
access to subscriber's line only in the variant listed under Annex 4.
In the event that the facts represented by Telekom as grounds for the denial of
debunched access are contested, the two-step evidence procedure as described
under Annex 10 shall apply.
Should there be only residual capacities available because of actual use of
subscriber's line by Telekom and/or other competitors, Telekom shall offer said
capacities in the form of bunched access to subscriber's line pursuant to the
procedure stipulated under 2.2 in annex 5 - Ordering, provisioning, termination.
There shall be no claim to access to subscriber's line if there is no free
subscriber's line available and if no further use of the subscriber's line
capacity to the full is possible.
Lines required by Telekom as operational reserve shall not be deemed free
subscriber's line pursuant to the subparagraph hereinbefore. If the line which
was originally allocated to operating reserve is actually used as a subscriber's
line at the moment of the order, and if this is requested by FirstMark, said
line shall be offered to FirstMark by Telekom as well.
The operating reserve listed hereinafter, which is not made available for access
to subscriber's line and which is available, even to Telekom, only in the cases
defined under Annex 1, shall comprise:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 PHYSICAL COLLOCATION
It is principally possible to use interconnection collocation rooms for
physical collocation to "access the subscriber's line" provided these
rooms have spare capacities. In case the capacity of such a collocation
room is fully used and it is impossible to rent another collocation
room to house interconnection lines, the transfer of the physical
collocation for the "access to the subscriber's line" into a
collocation room shall be carried out according to this contract at the
expense of FirstMark.
1.1 CONSTRUCTIONAL SPECIFICATION
1.1.1 The collocation room is a standardized, separate room used by FirstMark
exclusively to install and operate the equipment needed to ensure the
"access to the subscriber's line" (Article 3, subpara 2, 1st sentence,
Agreement of Use (NZV)). FirstMark shall not use the collocation room
for any other equipment, especially not for call-processing or other
switching equipment. The debunching requirement applies here too.
In case FirstMark installs hubbing equipment from PSTN end user
interfaces, they shall be designed in such a way as to exclude the use
of switching functions (connecting two end user interfaces). Telekom
shall be entitled to check at any time and without prior notice whether
FirstMark adheres to the above functional restriction and demand access

2.2. COLLOCATION OUTDOOR BOX
2.2.1 CONSTRUCTIONAL SPECIFICATION
2.2.1.1 The collocation area shall be situated at the Telekom premises in a box
especially set up for each competitor by means of a cable distributor
used by FirstMark exclusively to install and operate the equipment
needed to ensure the "access to the subscriber's line" (Article 3,
subpara 2, 1st sentence, Agreement of Use (NZV). FirstMark shall not
use the collocation room for any other equipment, especially not for
call-processing or other switching equipment. The debundching
requirement applies here too.
If FirstMark installs hubbing equipment from PSTN end user interfaces,
they must be
Page 5
"Access to the subscriber's line"
technically designed in such a way as to exclude the use of switching
functions (connecting two end user interfaces).
Telekom shall be entitled to check at any time and without prior notice
whether FirstMark adheres to the above functional restriction and
demand access to the documentation of the equipment used by FirstMark
to "access the subscriber's line" in the collocation room. If this
documentation is not available, FirstMark shall make efforts to obtain
the documentation from the manufacturer of the respective equipment.
FirstMark shall be obliged to exclude any function exceeding layer 2 of
the OSI model as well as any switching functions within layers 1 and 2
of the OSI model in the collocation room.
There are two different alternative solutions possible:
Alternative solution 1: KVz83/97 cable distributor
Provision of one KVz83/97 cable distributor case per point of
interchange to house cables and transmission equipment. An extension by
a second cable distributor case shall only be allowed when the first
cable distributor case is used to maximum capacity. Competitors are not
allowed to add own distributor cases.
If the KVz 83/97 cable distributor holds only terminations, a maximum
of 12 terminations (80 Q TrLe ) with 100 double wire cables may be
installed for the termination of the junction line cable. This is based
on the assumption that FirstMark installs the same number of
terminations of the same dimensions for the termination of its own
cables in the distributor box.
A mix of terminations and optical fibre distribution elements or the
inclusion of transmission equipment in the KVz83/97 cable distributor
case reduces the above maximum number of terminations.
Alternative solution 2: KVz82 cable distributor and one optional
competitor-owned case.
Provision of one KVz82 cable distributor case per point of interchange
to house cables and transmission equipment, if any. Right next to it,
the competitor may install a carrier-owned case to house technical
equipment. Telekom shall perform the civil engineering work necessary
to establish the carrier-owned case (e.g. building of a pedestal or
base) at the expense of FirstMark. Costs shall be invoiced according to
the actual work performed. The exact location shall be agreed with
Telekom in good time. A second cable distributor case or carrier-owned
case shall only be allowed when the first cable distributor case is
used to maximum capacity.
Page 6
"Access to the subscriber's line"
The competitor-owned case shall feature a grey exterior front. It shall
not exceed the following maximum dimensions:
width: 1.80m
depth: 0.50m
height: 1.60m
If the KVz 82 cable distributor case holds only terminations, a maximum
of 8 terminations (80 Q TrLe) with 100 double wire cables may be
installed for the termination of the junction line cable.
This is based on the assumption that FirstMark installs the same
number of terminations of the same dimensions for the termination
of its own cables in the distributor case.
The above maximum number of 82 terminations housed in the distributor
case is based on the assumption that the distributor case is
exclusively used for terminations and the provision of power supply.
A mix of terminations and optical fibre distribution elements or the
inclusion of transmission equipment in the KVz 82 cable distributor
reduces the above maximum number of terminations.
2.2.1.2 The KVz82 or KVz83/97 shall be equipped with a double shutting lock.
2.2.2 SPECIFICATION OF TECHNICAL BUILDING EQUIPMENT
2.2.2.1 The box shall provide the following basic electric supplies:
Low-voltage system (230V, 50Hz, 1 kVA, 16A fuse) consisting of a
junction box with switch.
2.2.2.2 Depending on the conditions on-site, the box shall be equipped with an
earthing system of the following parameters:
a) buried earth electrode: 3m
b) conductor electrode: 15m
c) connection to the equipotential bonding system of the
telecommunication building
In case of exposure to power lines only c); under a) and b) earthing
resistances according to the Technical Recommendations TE 3 of the
Interference Arbitration Office (TECHNISCHE EMPFEHLUNGEN TE3 DER
SCHIEDSSTELLE FUR BEEINFLUSSUNGSFRAGEN).

2.2 END USER INTERFACE
As network termination with copper double wire 2-wire, usually one 6-pole TLU
socket compliant with DIN 41715 with pin assignment according to Table 1 shall
be used.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table 1: Contact assignment
As network termination with copper double wire 4-wire, two 6-pole TLU sockets
compliant with DIN 41715 are normally used. Wires a1 and b1 are assigned to the
first TLU, wires a2 and b2 are assigned to the second TLU according to Table 1.
2.3 FIRSTMARK INTERFACE
An interchange distributor is used as network termination. Contact assignment
results from the configuration documentation.
2.4 CONNECTION USE
Telekom ensures galvanic circuit switch of copper double wire.
2.4.1 ANALOG USE COPPER DOUBLE WIRE
In case of analog service, the frequency band from 0 to 15 kHz may be used at a
maximum power level of 3 dBm.
2.4.2 USE COPPER DOUBLE WIRE 2-WIRE
Transmission techniques according to Annex 9 are recommended for use. If
other transmission techniques (line code) are used, network compatibility
must be ascertained by testing through Telekom.
2.4.3 USE COPPER DOUBLE WIRE 4-WIRE
Transmission techniques according to Annex 9 are recommended for use. If
other transmission techniques (line code) are used, network compatibility
must be ascertained by testing through Telekom.
2.4.4 VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS ON COPPER DOUBLE WIRE
If call AC voltages are transmitted through copper double wire, frequency of 23
to 28 Hz and call voltage of LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 75 V are set. Harmonic
distortion of sinusoidal
"Access to the subscriber's line"
call voltage must not exceed 15%. Transmission of charge unit pulses through
copper double wire 2-wire is effected at a frequency of 16 kHz 6 80 Hz and
at a maximum level of + 17 dB (950 mV). DC feed voltage at input of copper
double wires 2-/4-wire (interchange distributor) is set at 60 V nominal, current
at maximum 60 mA.
If higher voltages are used, Telekom must be notified thereof to allow
appropriate safety measures of copper double wire to be taken for staff
protection. In addition, maximum voltage values and minimal disconnect times
pursuant to relevant DIN/VDE provisions and to EN 60950 must be observed.
2.5 LONGITUDINAL VOLTAGES
Due to interference by energy facilities (eg high voltage lines, railway
catenaries), external voltages on copper double wire towards ground may occur,
see DIN VDE 0228. According to DIN VDE 0228, the following maximum voltages are
admitted in the range from 16 2/3 to 60 Hz:
- U
eff= 60 V with long period interference
- U
eff= 430 V with short period interference (LESS THAN OR EQUAL
TO 0.5 s) and
- U
eff= 650 V with short period interference by highly reliable energy
equipment.
2.6 ATMOSPHERIC DISCHARGES
Due to atmospheric discharges (lightning), impulse voltages on copper double
wire may occur, against which normally no protection devices are installed. In
special cases, eg in areas with high lightning activity, protecting devices
(surge diverters) are employed.
When surge diverters are activated, functional disturbances to the net may
occur. Protection devices of termination stations require potential equalization
(main potential equalization of building) according to DIN VDE 0800 part 2.
Potential equalization will not be provided.
The specific design of the line network in the exchange area reduces the risk of
voltages occurring at the end of copper double wire whose peak value exceeds 1.5
kV (LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 1ms) (CCITT recommendation K.11; EN 41003).

2.2.2 NOISES
Noise level assessed psophometrically at NTA depends on the length and routing
type of transmission path. Noise level of maximally -52 dBm0p at one NTA may
occur, if the other NTA is terminated with nominal impedance.
2.2.3 IMPEDANCE AT INPUT
Transmission of useful signals through analog dial-up connection is based on the
matching technique, routinely used in telecommunications. To ensure best
transmission of useful signals, the analog dial-up connection expects a terminal
to be switched on, whose signal source/signal sink is adjusted to the impedance
of the analog dial-up connection. The occurrence of reflections and echoes is
reduced by the adjustment. The nominal value of the input impedance at 2-wire
interfaces of the transmission route is set at ZR.
2.2.3.1 USEFUL SIGNAL AT OUTPUT OF NTA
The useful signal at output of NTA depnds on the attenuation and the attenuation
distortions of the transmission route as well as on the useful signal at input
of NTA at the remote end. If a level of -9 dBm (f = 1000 Hz) is sent at the
input of NTA (remote end), the level at output will be -19 to -9 dBm.
Page 6
"Access to the subscriber's line"
2.2.3.2 DISTURBING SIGNAL AT OUTPUT OF NTA
The useful signal at the input of NTA (near end) can be reflected on the
transmission route. At the output of NTA, the useful signal appears in delay
and attenuated by ca 10 dB.
The useful signal at the input of NTA (remote end) can
be double-reflected. At the output of NTA (near end), the useful signal appears
in delay and attenuated by ca 20 dB.
2.2.4 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The employed NTA are appropriate for operation in a surrounding climate
according to ETS 300 019-1-3 [3] environment class 3.1 DIN IEC 721 [8].
2.3 FIRSTMARK INTERFACE
2.3.1 CONNECTOR / ▇▇▇▇
Usually a contact couple at the distributor is provided as NTA.
2.3.2 NOISES
Noise level assessed psophometrically at NTA depends on the length and type of
transmission path routing. Noise level of maximally -52 dBm0p at one NTA may
occur if the other NTA is terminated with nominal impedance.
2.3.3 IMPEDANCE AT INPUT
Transmission of useful signals through analog dial-up connection is based on the
matching technique, routinely used in telecommunications. To ensure best
transmission of useful signals, the analog dial-up connection expects a terminal
to be switched on, whose signal source/signal sink is adjusted to the impedance
of the analog dial-up connection. The occurrence of reflections and echoes is
reduced by the adjustment. The nominal value of the input impedance at the
2-wire interfaces of the transmission route is set at ZR.
2.3.3.1 USEFUL SIGNAL AT OUTPUT OF NTA
The useful signal at output of NTA depnds on the attenuation and the attenuation
distortions of the transmission route and on the useful signal at input of NTA
at the remote end. If a level of -9 dBm (f = 1000 Hz) is sent at the input of
NTA (remote end), the level at output will be -19 to -9 dBm.
Page 7
"Access to the subscriber's line"
2.3.3.2 DISTURBING SIGNAL AT OUTPUT OF NTA
The useful signal at the input of NTA (near end) may be reflected on the
transmission route. At the output of NTA the useful signal appears in delay and
attenuated by ca 10 dB.
The useful signal at the input of NTA (remote end) can be double-reflected.
At the output of NTA (near end) the useful signal appears in delay and
attenuated by ca 20 dB.
2.2.4 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The employed NTA are suitable for operation in a surrounding climate according
to ETS 300 019-1-3 [3] environment class 3.1 DIN IEC 721 [8].
2.4 TELEPHONE SIGNALING
Telephone signaling is permanently available and is not decoupled from the
service channel. Telephone signaling can only work if the limits defined in
Tables A/1 or 2 are respected. By these limits, it is also ensured that no
disturbances to the network occur.
In addition, the following conditions apply:
- The transmission route has a DC resistance of (less than or equal to) 1200 X,
- signal key and loop signal are distorted by the transmission route by
maximally 610 ms,
- leakage resistances of the transmission route between a-wire and reference
potential, b-wire and refernce potential and a-wire and b-wire amount to
(greater than or equal to) 100 kX, respectively.
2.5 TRANSMIT LEVEL
"CCA for analog telephone connection" is a transmission route with analog a/b
interfaces. Within the dynamic range of the A-coding law according to ITU-T
recommendation G.711 [9], any level can be transmitted.
A relative level of +3.14 is assigned to the load capacity.
A digital interface corresponds to a 0 dBr point with a relative level of 0 dBr.
A test signal according to ITU-T recommendation G.711 [9] generates an absolute
power level of 0 dBm after D/A conversion.
To ensure assignment of transmit signals to terminal equipment, the
specifications for network access are given hereafter.
2.5.1 TRANSMIT LEVEL AT NETWORK ACCESS
In communication state, a useful signal within the frequency range from 300 Hz
to 3400 Hz can be transmitted through Carrier Customer Access - Analog. The
dynamic range at the network access is ca 60 dB.
As the effect of useful signals and disturbing signals reaching the transmission
route input depends on the type of signal (voice signal, single frequencies
i.a.), such signals can be classified into various categories. Terminal
equipment is subdivided in various, reciprocally non-exclusive categories to
avoid negative interference on transmission route by useful and disturbing
signals.
Page 8
"Access to the subscriber's line"
A type of terminal equipment may well appear in more than one category. For the
purpose of this "Technical description", a general subdivision is defined
according to the following definition:
a) terminal equipment whose output signals come from an integrated
acoustic/electric converter in real time (see section 2.5.2);
b) terminal equipment whose output signals are generated electrically within
the terminal (see section 2.5.3);
c) circuit-switching terminal equipment whose output signals come from
another electric interface (see section 2.5.4).
NOTE: Terminals may belong to more than one category. A telephone may belong to
category a) for voice and to category b) for emission of MFV signals. The
function of emitting synthetic or stored voice or music, as present in
answering machines or voice boxes, falls under category b).
2.5.2 TERMINAL WITH ACOUSTIC SOURCE (SEND LOUDNESS RATING SLR)
Minimal SLR of the terminal, measured at termination with ZR, must be (greater
than or equal to) -5.
Note: Minimal SLR value of -5 dB relates to the measured current value, not
to the nominal value, i.e. there is no tolerance for this value. It was
specified to ensure the network to run unharmed. It is recommended to
have SLR (greater than) -2 dB under normal operating conditions.
2.5.3 TERMINAL WITH INTERNALLY GENERATED ELECTRIC SIGNAL
2.5.3.1 MAXIMUM MEDIUM LEVEL
Medium power level in the frequency range from 200 Hz to 3800 Hz in each
one-minute interval must be (less than or equal to) -9 dB, if the terminal is
terminated with ZR.
2.5.3.2 MAXIMUM INSTANTANEOUS POWER (PEAK VOLTAGE)
Maximum instantaneous power is indicated as peak voltage.
Maximum peak voltage in frequency range from 200 Hz to 3800 Hz must be (less
than or equal to) 2.0 V, if terminal is terminated with ZR.
2.5.3.3 MAXIMUM POWER IN 10-HZ BANDWIDTH
Maximum power in 10-Hz bandwidth with medium frequency in the frequency band
from 5 Hz to 4300 Hz must comply with the conditions according to fig 2, if the
terminal is terminated with ZR.
EXCEPTION: When sending MFV signals, maximum power in 10-Hz bandwidth between
1200 Hz and 1700 Hz may be exceeded by maximally 3 dBm.
NOTE: MFV signals usually have a ▇▇▇▇-to-space ratio of less than 50%.

Note: For determination of this tolerance mask,
max. medium transmit level of -9dBm and relative
level at input of +6 dBr are assumed.

2.5.4 TERMINAL WITH ELECTRIC INPUT SIGNAL
There are no regulations for the level of the output signal in the frequency
range from 5 Hz to 4300 Hz if the output signal comes from another electric
interface (e.g. with circuit-switching terminal equipment).
NOTE: It is not feasible to limit the level of signals coming from other input
units of the terminal, therefore there is no rule regulating this category
of terminals in this standard. It is recommended that the manufacturer of
the terminal equipment give indications on the allowed signal level at the
input interfaces for which through- connection is allowed.
2.5.5 MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION POWER ABOVE 4.3 KHZ
This rule applies to all terminal equipment. If the output signal of the
terminal comes from an acoustic interface or from an electric interface, these
inputs must be in idle state.
The maximum transmit level above 4.3 kHz, generated by normal use of the
terminal and measured at termination with 120 X at bandwidth according to
Table 4, must observe the conditions defined by Fig. 3 over the entire
frequency range from 4.3 kHz to 2 MHz.
EXCEPTION: E.g., during transmission of MFV signal, the level of
single-frequency shares in the ouput spectrum may exceed the values
laid down in Fig. 3, however a value of -35 dBm must not be exceeded.
Page 10
"Access to the subscriber's line"
Note 1: Terminating impedance of 120 X was selected for the out-of-band
standard because this is a fairy good approximation to what the terminal
perceives at these frequencies.

2.6 LONGITUDINAL VOLTAGES
Due to interference by energy facilities (e.g. high voltage lines, railway
catenaries), external voltages on copper double wire towards ground may occur,
see DIN VDE 0228 [4]. According to DIN VDE 0228, the following maximum voltages
are admitted in the range from 16 2/3 to 60 Hz:
- Ueff = 60 V in case of long period interference
- Ueff = 430 V in case of short period interference ((less than or equal to)
0.5 s) and
NOTE: In the course of adjustment of DIN VDE 0228 to international rules, it is
likely that the voltage for short period interference by energy facilities
of high reliability will be completed by a value of 650 V. The changed
limits will apply also to this guideline.
Page 11
"Access to the subscriber's line"
2.7 ATMOSPHERIC DISCHARGES
Due to atmospheric discharges (lightning), impulse voltages on the transmission
route may occur, against which normally no protection devices are installed.
In special cases, e.g. in areas with high lightning activity, protecting devices
(surge diverters) are employed.
When surge diverters are activated, functional disturbances to the net may
occur. Protection devices of termination stations require potential equalization
(main potential equalization of building) according to DIN VDE 0800 [5] part 2.
Potential equalization will not be provided.
The specific design of the line network in the exchange area reduces the risk
of voltages occurring at NTA whose peak value exceeds 1.5 kV ((less than or
equal to) 1ms) (CCITT recommendation K.11 [6]; EN 41003 [7]).

For power feed, feed voltages in accordance with Telekom guideline TR1 216
(see Annex 1) are to be used.
4.4 LONGITUDINAL VOLTAGES
Due to interference by energy facilities (eg high voltage lines, railway
catenaries), external voltages on copper double wire towards ground may occur,
see DIN VDE 0228. According to DIN VDE 0228, the following maximum voltages are
admitted in the range from 16 2/3 to 60 Hz:

4.5 ATMOSPHERIC DISCHARGES
Due to atmospheric discharges (lightning), impulse voltages on copper double
wire may occur, against which normally no protection devices are installed.
In special cases, e.g. in areas with high lightning activity, protecting devices
(surge diverters) are employed.
When surge diverters are activated, functional disturbances to the net may
occur. Protection devices of termination stations require potential equalization
(main potential equalization of building) according to DIN VDE 0800 part 2.
Potential equalization will not be provided.

interface V5.1.
2.2 END CUSTOMER INTERFACE
In principle, Technical guideline 1 TR 110 "Technical Description of Analog
dial-up connections at Telephone Network/ISDN of Deutsche Telekom" applies to
the description of the end customer interface.

3 to 6 not assigned
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table 10: Contact assignment
2.2.2 NOISES
Noise level assessed psophometrically at NTA depends on the length and routing
type of the transmission path. Noise level of maximally -52 dBm0p at one NTA may
occur, if the other NTA is terminated with nominal impedance.
2.2.3 IMPEDANCE AT INPUT
Transmission of useful signals through analog dial-up connection is based on the
matching technique, routinely used in telecommunications. To ensure best
transmission of useful signals, the analog dial-up connection expects a terminal
to be switched on, whose signal source/signal sink is adjusted to the impedance
of the analog dial-up connection. The occurrence of reflections and echoes is
reduced by the adjustment. The nominal value of the input impedance at 2-wire
interfaces of the connection is set at ZR.
2.2.4 USEFUL SIGNAL AT OUTPUT OF NTA
The useful signal at output of the NTA depends on the attenuation and the
attenuation distortions of the connection as well as on the useful signal at
input of NTA at the remote end.
Page 4
"Access to the subscriber's line"
2.2.5 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The employed NTA are appropriate for operation in a surrounding climate
according to ETS 300 019-1-3 environment class 3.1 DIN IEC 721.
2.3 FIRSTMARK INTERFACE
The interface V5.1 meets the ETSI standard ETS 300 324-1 and the Telekom
guidelines ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇. The versions and additions of the V5.1
interface used by Telekom shall be delivered on request.
No subscriber's access is possible through the proprietary interface V93 due
to its proprietary character.
2.4 LONGITUDINAL VOLTAGES
Due to interference by energy facilities (eg high voltage lines, railway
catenaries), external voltages at the analog interface towards ground may occur,
see DIN VDE 0228. According to DIN VDE 0228, the following maximum voltages are
admitted in the range from 16 2/3 to 60 Hz:
- Ueff = 60 V in case of long period interference
- Ueff = 430 V in case of short period interference ((less than or eqal to)
0.5 s) and
- Ueff = 650 V in case of short period interference by highly reliable energy
equipment.
2.5 ATMOSPHERIC DISCHARGES
Due to atmospheric discharges (lightning), impulse voltages at the analog
interface wire may occur, against which there are normally no protecting devices
installed.
In special cases, e.g. in areas with high lightning activity, protecting devices
(surge diverters) are employed.
When surge diverters are activated, functional disturbances to the net may
occur. Protection devices of termination stations require potential equalization
(main potential equalization of building) according to DIN VDE 0800 part 2.
Potential equalization will not be provided.
The specific design of the line network in the exchange area reduces the risk
of voltages occurring at analog interface whose peak value exceeds 1.5 kV
((less than or equal to) 1ms)(CCITT recommendation K.11; EN 41003).

The prerequisite is that this preliminary inquiry is made within the scope of
the establishment and /or alteration of a contractual relationship, that is to
say that there have already been concrete contacts aimed at the conclusion of a
contract between FirstMark, which makes the preliminary inquiry, and the
potential end user. Any account development advertising campaigns organized by
FirstMark do not satisfy this requirement.
The preliminary inquiry shall be answered within the normal working time from
7.30 hours to 16.30 hours by the contact point referred to in Enclosure 11.
FirstMark's preliminary inquiry shall include the following details:
- Design type for which inquiry is made;

- Address of the customer with identification of the terminal and, if
appropriate, the identification of Telekom's service(s) to be cancelled
by the customer;
- Location of the main distributor (area code, exchange area code, postal
code, place, street, street number);
- Information whether resources of another competitor are to be checked;
- FirstMark-specific details (name, postal code, place, contact person /
contact point, telephone number, fax number, customer number);
- Date, signature.
Having received the written preliminary inquiry, Telekom shall promptly examine
the realizability of the requested design type of the respective subscriber's
line and, usually within six working days, either confirm the requested design
type to FirstMark or specify another design type (usually bunched) that can be
realized on this Subscriber's line. The preliminary inquiry will be answered
with the proviso that changes in the realizability of the concerned subscriber's
line may occur at any time. This subscriber's line will not be reserved.
For each preliminary inquiry FirstMark shall pay the fee stipulated in Enclosure
7.
Page 10
"Access to the subscriber's line"
2.2 ORDERING ACCESS TO THE SUBSCRIBER'S LINE
FirstMark shall order access to the subscriber's line by using the form included
in Enclosure 12 and by providing the information listed below within the time
limits set out in para 2.3.1. The order shall be submitted in writing by fax to
Telekom's competent contact person whose name will be communicated to FirstMark.
Based on this order, Telekom shall promptly provide access to the subscriber's
line within the limits of its technical and operational possibilities.
The order placed by FirstMark shall include the following details:
- Specification of the selected design type;
- In case of the design types CuDA 2DR with high bit-rate use and CuDA
4Dr with high bit-rate use, the identification code of the transmission
technique to be used (cf. Enclosure 9);
- Data relating to the connection of the connecting cable, with the
interchange distributor concept being taken into account;
- Address of subscriber and subscriber's number, if appropriate;
- If known, clear description of the location of the 1st
telecommunication line unit;
- Desired date of provision;
- Location of the main distributor (area code, exchange area code, postal
code, place, street, street number);
- Information whether resources of another competitor are to be checked;
- FirstMark-specific information (address, postal code, place, contact
person / contact point, telephone number, fax number, customer number);
- In case of new connection (cf. definition in Enclosure 1) or
non-availability of Telekom's 1st telecommunication line unit,
information on the connecting-time window on the day of provision set
as the binding date of a customer call;
- Date, signature;
- In the event that the respective subscriber's line is taken over (cf.
definition in Enclosure 1), the informal written and dated notice given
to Telekom by the subscriber changing to another carrier shall be faxed
together with the above order.
Telekom shall promptly examine the realizability of the access to the
subscriber's line. If provision is possible at the date desired by FirstMark, a
written confirmation shall be addressed to FirstMark, usually within six working
days after receipt of the complete written order, provided the number of orders
is within the limits of the agreed order quantities.
Page 11
"Access to the subscriber's line"
The confirmation shall include the following details:
- Contract number;
- Line identification;
- Date of provision.
If provision is not possible at the date desired by FirstMark, Telekom shall
propose in writing, usually within six working days after the receipt of the
complete written order, another date which is as early as possible . In that
case, FirstMark shall confirm the date of provision within one working day.
Otherwise the order will be deemed to be cancelled.
If the debunched access desired by FirstMark cannot be realized for the reasons
set out in para 3.2 of the main part of this Contract, FirstMark will be offered
another one of the types mentioned in Enclosure 4 - Bunched access to the
subscriber's line - including a new date, if appropriate, usually within six
working days after receipt of the complete written order.
The alternative offer shall include the following details:
- Type;
- Proposed date of provision.
FirstMark shall accept this alternative offer in writing by fax within five
working days after receipt of the offer and include the new switching
configuration for the connecting cable, with the concept of the interchange
distributor being taken into account. Otherwise the alternative offer will be
deemed to be rejected.
If both the design type requested by FirstMark in its order and an alternative
offer cannot be provided, a refusal shall be given to FirstMark usually within
six working days after receipt of the order. In order to prevent that any
termination initiated by the subscriber is carried out, FirstMark shall contact
the customer about the withdrawal of the termination and submit the customer's
written withdrawal statement promptly to Telekom, but not later than two working
days before the termination date for which an order had been placed..
In case the resource check carried out by Telekom at the request of FirstMark
indicates the existence of unused capacities at another competitor, these
capacities shall be offered as a promptly to FirstMark as a possible type,
unless contracts concluded with the other competitor preclude Telekom's right of
disposal.
In that case FirstMark shall accept the alternative offer in writing by fax
within five working days after its receipt. Otherwise the order will be deemed
to be cancelled. If FirstMark accepts the offer, the contract for the respective
subscriber's line concluded with the other competitor shall be terminated by
Telekom within the limits of its technical, operation and legal possibilities.
Upon entry into force of the termination, the other competitor will be provided
a type ensuring the existing utilization. In addition, FirstMark will be
provided the type within the limit of the technical and operational
possibilities, at the same time of the provision of the design type to the other
competitor at the earliest.

used of if the subscriber's line assigned to FirstMark is required because of
the customer completey changed from FirstMark to Telekom.
At any rate, FirstMark shall be obliged, upon Telekom's written inquiry, to
submit by fax on the working day following the inquiry, details concerning the
capacities used. If appropriate, with the discontinued services to the customer
being taken into account, and identify a desired alternative version for the
existing utilization. The contact point referred to in Enclosure 11 shall make
the inquiry on working days during the normal working time from 7.30 hours to
16.30 hours, using the relevant form included in Enclosure 12.
Dependent on the information given by FirstMark, the following situations shall
be distinguished:
a. If FirstMark does not or no longer utilize the debunched
subscriber's line assigned to it, Telekom will terminate it.
The written notice must be received by FirstMark not later
than six days before the day on which it becomes effective.
FirstMark shall make the subscriber's line available to
Telekom in debunched manner.
b. If FirstMark partly uses capacities on the debunched
subscriber's line assigned to it, FirstMark shall communicate
the utilized capacities to Telekom, indicating an alternative
version for the existing utilization, if appropriate. In those
cases Telekom will terminate the debunched access to this
subscriber's line. Together with the notice, usually given
three working days after receipt of the written answer,
FirstMark will be offered an alternative type by means of
which the existing utilization can also be realized.
The alternative offer shall include the following details:
- Number of the contract to be terminated:
- Type;
- Date of provision.

will be changed over without alternative access having been provided to
FirstMark.
FirstMark shall make the subscriber'line available to Telekom in debunched
manner.
Page 16
"Access to the subscriber's line"
Unless it submits an alternative offer, Telekom shall not use its right
of termination.
c. In the event that FirstMark uses the access to the
subscriber's line to such an extent that an alternative type
cannot be offered, Telekom shall not use its right of
termination.
In the event that FirstMark does not use a bunched subscriber's line assigned to
it to the required extent, Telekom may terminate it to the end any working day
for its own requirements or to meet the demand of other competitors. The
stipulations in para 2.4.2 concerning the obligation to provide information and
Telekom's right of termination shall applied.

subscriber's line, if FirstMark, despite a written warning notice, continues to
use the access to the subscriber's line in an improper manner, i.e. a manner not
provided for in this Contract.
Telekom may terminate the assignment of access to the subscriber's line without
notice and without prior written warning notice, if FirstMark contravenes the
basic provisions of Art. 3 para 2 of the ONP Directive (90/387/EEC), in
particular if it offers systems interfering with Telekom's network on the access
to the subscriber's line.
Upon entry into force of a notice, Telekom will disconnect the access to the
subscriber's line.

2. NETWORK COMPATIBILITY TEST
2.1 GENERAL REMARKS ON THE NETWORK COMPATIBILITY TEST
In case other transmission modes are used than those described in enclosure 3
and 4 for the debunched access to the subscriber's line by means of copper
double-wires a test for network compatibility is to be carried out by Telekom
for assuring network safety before using these other transmission modes for the
first time. This test is to assure that all transmission systems that are
connected to this cable will function without any disturbances. The main task is
to assure that the connection of the systems of FirstMark to the cables does not
cause disturbing influences in the transmission systems of Telekom and that the
requirements for EMC are fulfilled as well as to assure that operator safety
with respect to supply voltages on the copper double wire is guaranteed.
Further the test will produce findings to be used in adapting planning rules.
2.2 SPECIFICATIONS
The test will be carried out in two stages:
Page 4
"Access to the subscriber's line"
2.2.1 STAGE 1
During the first stage the test shall be carried out exclusively on the basis of
the system documentation to be supplied by FirstMark.
Beside the general description of the system this documentation must contain
the parts which are relevant for network compatibility.
This includes detailed information on the line interface. EMC and if
applicable the supply voltages used on the lines with information on safety.
In case the transmission mode that is used is not standardised a detailed
description of the line interface must follow. This description must contain
information on the transmission mode that is used, impedance, the
transmission rate, the coding. the transmission signal (shape, size), the
power spectral density, etc.
Telekom shall check network compatibility on the basis of the information which
was provided.
The procedure will take approximately 4 weeks. For the technical test shall
be charged a fee according to enclosure 7.
In case network compatibility can not be verified without doubts on the basis
of the documentation (e.g. because the transmission mode and its parameters
are unknown or because they have not been used in the network of Telekom,
yet) transfer of the procedure to stage 2 is to be agreed.
2.2.2 STAGE 2
In the second stage the network compatibility test shall be carried out by
means of a network compatibility test in the real network. For this purpose
FirstMark shall supply Telekom with a reasonable number of system
combinations (to be agreed for each case).
Telekom shall carry out a real connection of the cables in the system
combinations that are possible and measure the required signal-to-noise ratio
on the basis of the valid network plan.
The procedure will take approximately 8 weeks.
For the technical test shall be charged a fee according to enclosure 7.
2.2.3 FURTHER TESTS
In case the network compatibility test shows that existing systems are
influenced FirstMark shall be finally informed about that. In case FirstMark
wants a continuation of the tests shall be charged a fee according to enclosure
7.
Devices that were retrofitted after a previous network compatibility test
showed that they can not be used shall undergo a new network compatibility
test.

1 PROVING PROCEDURE
Principles
With respect to the proving procedure that is described in the following an
agreement should be reached preferably in stage 1.
Stage 2 - the involvement of the independent agency nominated in enclosure 11
- should remain an exceptional case. Before stage 1 is completed neither of
the parties shall be entitled to appeal to the independent agency.
Stage 1
In case FirstMark disputes the facts stated by Telekom for negating a debunched
access or negating a bunched access FirstMark shall receive on written request
within 10 working days after negation of the desired line Mondays to Fridays
within the regular office hours from 7.30 a.m. till 4.30 p.m. at the contact
office listed in enclosure 11. on the following working day a written statement
on the subscriber's fill (filled copper double-wires ./. available copper
double-wires) that exists on the part of the cable network supplying the final
customer. This value shall be maximum 3 months old.
In case FirstMark does not immediately or after a maximum period of 5 working
days after the arrival of the written statement at FirstMark start stage 2 by
means of appealing to the independent agency or if FirstMark orders the offered
bunched subscriber's line instead of the debunched subscriber's line this shall
mean that FirstMark accepted the statement on the subscriber's fill and the
proving procedure shall be considered completed. An appeal to the independent
agency with respect this case shall be excluded.
Stage 2
In case FirstMark appeals to the independent agency within 5 working days after
arrival of the statement Telekom shall be informed about the appeal immediately.
On written request of the independent agency Telekom shall inform the
independent agency immediately but not later than 10 working days after arrival
of the request about the facts that lead to the negation of a debunched access
or of a bunched access. The proof in this respect refers to the moment when
Telekom carried out the internal check of the relevant data in response to the
enquiry of FirstMark.
The parties agree that FirstMark must not review the information sent to the
independent agency by Telekom in connection with this issue.
The independent agency shall decide upon the existence / non-existence of the
facts stated by Telekom which lead to the negation of the debunched or bunched
access.
The details of the procedure at the independent agency shall be agreed with the
independent agency.
Page 2

1 SUPPLY CONCEPT FOR THE BASIC CONNECTION
This section supplements the specifications of the guideline 1 TR 236 which is
based on the ETS 300 012.
1.1 PRINCIPLES
a) Operating states
EMERGENCY OPERATION
In emergency operation, the basic function of at least one telephone on the S
bus, the NT1 and an intermediate regenerator (IR) which may be present must be
fed from the exchange location. Telephones can also be multiple-service terminal
devices with a telephone function.
The basic functions for the telephone are:
Establishment and breaking of connection, call signalling, speech and listening
function.
NORMAL OPERATION
In normal operation, the NT1 and an IR which may be present must be fed from the
exchange location. The S bus is fed from a power supply unit (housed in the NT1)
and supplies the telephones which are connected (including multiple-service end
devices with telephone part) max. 4 TE.
b) SUPPLYING THE EXCHANGE LOCATION
In the exchange location, a voltage supply with current limiting is required at
the Uko interface. For further details, see item 1.3.
c) SUPPLY RANGE
The supply range is max. 1400 ohms. This is the loop resistance of the line
connecting from the LT to the NT1.
d) POWER-DOWN STATE
Power-down for the inactive state is required for the terminals which are
supplied remotely from the exchange location, the NT1, the IR and for the
directly supplied LTs in the exchange location.
e) GALVANIC SEPARATION
The converter in the NT1 must be designed with Galvanic separation between the
Uko and S interfaces.
For the separation between the 230V connection and the interface So, ETS 300
047-4 applies. Between the 230V connection and the interface UKo, EN 60 950
applies in combination with the technical delivery conditions for the NT1.
- 3 -
f) SWAPPING a/b
At the Uko interface, a swap between a/b must be anticipated.
g) IR
The IR taps its power supply from between the a/b lines.
The DC loop resistance up to the location of deployment of the IR is not to
exceed 1000 ohms.

2) The value is permitted to rise to 950 mW in the case of short circuit on
the S0 interface. See also note 3).
3) See enclosure 1
4) Definitions of the operation modes and of the functions are to be specified
in the technical guideline for the TE. In the case of local operation,
power from So is drawn by the telephone without the interface being in the
active state (info 0 at the interface).
5) The power consumption at the mains connection is permitted to be 15 VA at
220 V nominal voltage (static value).
6) Applies at 45 mW power supply to So.
The static powers listed above must be adhered to within the voltage tolerances
and for permissible drop resistors.
The measurement circuits contained in the diagrams indicate the measurement
principle. The details of the measurement circuits (including their connection
to Uko) are described in a special guideline for measurements on Uko.
In the case of measurements with currents in the current-limiting region, the
NT1 may consume the permissible powers at Uko for the case of a short circuit at
So.
- 4 -
1.3 SUPPLY VOLTAGES
The digital exchange for local service (ISDN) is supplied (50 V to 70 V) by the
unregulated supply voltage of the exchange location's power supply in accordance
with FTZ guideline 19 Pfl 1 (in future 19 TR 3). This also applies for the
concentrators constructed in an exchange location.
The supply voltage for the basic connection is fed via the LT into the
connection line.
The supply voltage planned for loop resistances of up to 600 ohms is the
unregulated supply voltage of the power supply in the exchange location (50 to
70 V) in accordance with FTZ 19 Pfl 1 (in future FTZ 19 TR 3).
Note: In the case of a supply voltage of 50 V and higher power consumption of
the NT1, as permitted for the initial deliveries and in the case of a short
circuit at S0, the emergency operation for loop resistors exceeding 550 ohms is
no longer guaranteed without restriction. The minimum voltage in the exchange
location must thus be greater than 53 V.
For a higher loop resistance and a possible additional IR, an increased
regulated supply voltage of 97 +/- 2 V must be used. On the output of the LT (U
interface), the operating voltage is permitted to be as much as 3 V lower.
The LT must be able to supply an output current of at least 45 mA. Short
circuits and overload at the Uko interface must not cause any destruction.
A static shutdown threshold of 50 mA+ /- 5 mA is to be planned in the LT for
the supply current (for dynamics, see 1.5.4).
After switching off, the supply voltage must be switched on again at most 32
seconds later.
1.4 EMERGENCY SUPPLY PROCEDURE
To indicate the emergency-operation state, the polarity of the supply voltage at
the So interface is reversed. The NT1 can switch into emergency operating state
if the voltage on the 230 V connection has dropped to less than 85% of the
nominal value. If the voltage on the 230 V connection is greater than or equal
to 85% of the nominal value, then the NT1 must ensure normal operation.
The emergency-supply procedure allows ONE telephone which is set up as an
emergency terminal to handle incoming and outgoing telephone traffic. In this
state, all additional telephones plugged into the So interface are non-operable
and may only take the supply power specified in 1 TR 236 from the interface.
Terminals on the So interface which get supplied by the 230 V mains can be
operated without restriction (i.e. even carry telecommunications).
- 5 -
If in future the power value for the telephone entitled to an emergency supply
in emergency operation is below 380 mW, then the emergency-supply procedure
allows parallel operation e.g. with an "alarm terminal". However, the sum of the
powers for both terminals must not exceed the value of 380 mW.
1.5 CURRENT / TIME CONDITIONS OF THE UKO INTERFACE
To ensure the functioning and the participation of NT1, IR and the LT in the
exchange location, the requirements shown in Figures 1.5-1 to 1.5-4 must be
fulfilled.
In order that the planned test procedure for the testing of the connection lines
does not conflict with the switch-on conditions for the NT1, the NT1 must not
switch on until the voltage on its input exceeds 18 V. The current through the
NT1 is to be lower than 200 uA at a voltage of 18 V.
Note: The current must fall below this value if the supply voltage is present on
the NT1 for longer than 2 minutes.
2 SUPPLY CONCEPT FOR THE PRIMARY MULTIPLEX CONNECTION (PMXC)
This section complements the specifications of the guideline 1 TR 237 which are
based on the ETS 300 011.
2.1 PRINCIPLES
A) INDEPENDENCE OF THE TRANSMISSION MEDIUM ON THE CONNECTION LINE
The supply concept of the NT-PMXC is independent of the transmission medium
(symmetric copper double accumulators, glass fibres).
B) SUPPLY OF THE NT1
The NT1 is supplied locally via a supply interface. The supply voltage on the
NT1 can be between 20 V and 57 V.
C) SUPPLY OF THE ZWRS
The ZWRs for the copper transmission system are supplied with the remote-supply
facility for line upgrades 2 F from the power supply for the local exchange.
D) SUPPLY OF THE LINE TERMINATION
The line termination is supplied by the power supply of the local exchange.
E) EMERGENCY SUPPLY
A special emergency supply of the NT1 is not planned. Effects on the operating
behaviour of the NT1 where the supply voltage falls below its minimum are
described in the guideline 1 TR 217 and in the technical delivery conditions for
the NT1.
- 6 -
2.2 SAFETY MEASURES AND EARTHING
In the supply equipment (e.g. telecommunications system or special supply
device), all power-supply interfaces are to be individually protected against
short circuits in the NT1 / on the interface line.
In the case of a supply voltage of 57 V, the switch-on current of the NT1 must
not exceed the limiting curve shown in Figure 2.2-1. This must be tolerated by
the supply source.
The NT1 must not be destroyed if the lines on the power-supply interface are
switched.
The supply interface of the supply equipment must be designed with safe
electronic separation from the 230 V mains in accordance with EN 60 950 so that
the supply of the NT1 is effected with low voltage. In addition, ETS 300 046
also applies in principle.
The plus pole of the supply source must be connected with signal ground.
The NT1 and the sheathings of the connection cables on the interfaces S2M and
UK2 as well as the sheathing of the local connection cable must be included in
the potential equalisation of the terminal equipment.
The FBO 16 provides for those cases in which the sheathing of the local
connection cable is to be included in the potential equalisation of the
building.
The protective ground wire of the power supply of the terminal equipment may be
used as a "functional earth" and must be included in the potential equalisation
(see also ETS 300 046 regarding the dimensioning of the protective ground wire).
Inversely, the "earth" of the local connection cable must not be used as a
protective earth.
2.3 REPERCUSSIONS OF THE NT1 ON THE SUPPLY INTERFACE IN THE LF RANGE
The repercussions on the supply interface must not exceed the values of
Enclosure 3 of the 19 Pfl 1 (IN FUTURE curve 2 shown in Figure 2 of the FTZ
guideline 19 TR 3).
Attachment 1 to 1 TR 216
This attachment provides clarification and background information on the 1 TR
216 which are of an either temporary nature or fundamental kind.
1 STATIC SUPPLY POWERS OF NT1 AND IR
On account of the higher than planned power consumption of the integrated
circuits employed, the following power-consumption values which deviate from 1
TR 216 are allowed temporarily. These values are only partially taken into
consideration in the supply concept and can lead to faulty behaviour if several
worst-case conditions occur simultaneously. This applies especially to full
utilisation of the maximum supply range of 1400 ohms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal operation Emergency operation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Idle Operating Idle Operating
NT1 less than or less than or less than or
less than or equal to equal to equal to
equal to mW 450 mW 180 mW 950 mW
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the case of a short circuit at S0, the power consumption of the NT1 is
permitted to be up to 1050 mW.
2 SWITCHING TO EMERGENCY OPERATION FOR THE EXTENDED PASSIVE BUS
For this configuration, the operating voltage (normal operation) is permitted
to be below 32 V (up to 24 V), which depends on the number of TEs connected.
If in this state a switchover takes place to emergency operation, then a
reliable further operation of an existing connection is not always possible
because the NT1 cannot make available the necessary power for the charging
the TE input capacitor (to greater than or equal to 34 V) AND the necessary
operating power. The actual behaviour is dependent on several independent
factors which do not enable worst-case planning for the supply concept. For
this reason, the potential faulty behaviour is tolerated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 GENERAL
The following specifications apply for transmission systems deployed on copper
wires of subscriber connection cables and which enable the basic connection to
the ISDN with a net bit rate of 144 kbit/s.
The transmission system must transmit the functions specified in Figure 1. The
transmission procedure is a two-wire transmission procedure with directional
separation by means of echo compensation.
2 LINE SIGNAL
2.1 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
- Step speed: 120 kbaud +/- 1 ppm
This specification applies for synchronous operation with clock supply from the
digital exchange.
- Permissible sinusoidal input jitter on the NT and on the exchange end of the
IR: See Figure 2
- Intrinsic jitter
The jitter measured with a high-pass filter of limiting frequency 30 Hz must not
exceed 0.02 UIss. The output jitter measured without a high-pass filter must not
exceed 0.1 UIss.
- Jitter transmission function
Where possible, the jitter on the receiver input of the LT should remain at the
same value transmitted by the transmitter output of the LT. For this reason, in
the frequency range between 3 Hz and 30 Hz, the jitter transmission function of
the NT and of the IR must not exceed the limit values of +/- 1 dB.
- Transmission amplitude, measured on 150 ohms:
Peak value of a single pulse 2 V +/- 10 %
Maximum amplitude of the encoded transmission signal 4 V
- Instability of the transmission amplitude, a maximum of 1 % within 1 minute.
- Pulse shape on the transmitter output on termination with 150 ohms:
-
The spectral requirements shown in Figure 3 and the pulse shape shown
in Figure 4 must be fulfilled.
For the measurement of the pulse shape, the facility of transmitting single
pulses at a spacing of 1 ms must be available for all devices.
- Reception amplitude range: +/- 4 V to +/- 15 mV
(measured without an own transmission signal)
FTZ 1 TR 220 Page 3 August 1991
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Internal resistance on the a/b terminals: 150 ohms
Reflective attenuation against 150 ohms real:
The limit values must not fall below the values shown in the limit-value curve
in Figure 5.
- Unsymmetrical attenuation
In the frequency range 5 kHz to 1 MHz, the unsymmetrical attenuation of the
devices at the Uko interface must not fall below the limit values of the
limit-value curve shown in Figure 5.
- Transmission range and receiver properties
The transmission range of systems on the Uko interface is to fulfil the
following conditions on cables commensurate with Section 6 and having an
interference-suppression covering in accordance with Figure 18 and a bit-error
rate of less than or equal to 10-7: equal to or greater than 4.2 km for cables
with 0.4 mm wire diameter and equal to or greater than 8.0 km for cables with
0.6 mm wire diameter.
Without interference-suppression covering, the following ranges are to be aimed
at under otherwise equivalent conditions:
equal to or greater than 5 km for cables with 0.4 mm wire diameter and
equal to or greater than 10 km for cables with 0.6 mm wire diameter.
With an interference-suppression covering of 25 uV / Hz, a deactivation of the
Uko interface in accordance with the guideline FTZ 1 TR 210 must be possible.
2.2 LOGICAL FEATURES
2.2.1 FRAME STRUCTURE
Frame structure: See Figure 7
Frame duration: 120 ternary steps (= 1 ms)
Contents of one frame:
- 122 bits of scrambled and
encoded B+B+D data: 108 steps (Ti)
- non-scrambled
ternary synchronising word: 11 steps (SW1, SW2)
- non-scrambled ternary
service data: 1 step (M1, M2)
FTZ 1 TR 220 Page 4 August 1991
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B+B+D data:
The 108 ternary symbols of the B+B+D data are divided into four
equivalently-structured groups. Each of the groups of 27 ternary symbols
corresponds to one block with 36 binary bits (see Figure 8). The composition
of this block is
Data: B1 + B2 + D + B1 + B2 + D
Number of bits: 8 + 8 + 2 + 8 + 8 + 2
Synchronising word (SW) (see Figure 7):
From the exchange location to the subscriber:
SW1 + + + - - - + - - + -
Position
in the frame: 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120
From the subscriber to the exchange location:
SW2 - + - - + - - - + + +
Position
in the frame: 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60
At the U interface on the subscriber's end of the connection line (NT1 and
exchange-location side of the IR), SW1 and SW2 are 60 steps out of phase with
one another (see Figure 9).
The synchronising word has the purpose of obtaining the frame clock. If the
position of the SW in the reception signal does not correspond 60 - 200 times in
a row with the current frame, a resynchronisation is initiated.
Service data (1 kbaud):
From the exchange location to the subscriber (from the LT to the NT):
Position in the frame: 85
From the subscriber to the exchange location (from the NT to the LT):
Position in the frame: 25
The service data are employed for switching test loops and for reporting
transmission errors.

1) The loop is to be switched when the encoding is recognised for a
duration of 8 steps. It is opened if 8 successive 0 polarity values are
recognised or on deactivation.
2) A single code infringement or multiple code infringements by exceeding
RDS or an impermissibly long sequence of 0 polarity within one frame
causes the initiation of frame-error recognition (see Figure 10).
3) For transmission of negative polarity, a requested transmission of
positive polarity is suppressed.
The use of the transparent channel will be specified uniformly at a
later date.
2.2.2 ENCODING
In each case, 4 bits of the binary data stream are combined into 3 steps of the
ternary line signal (4B3T encoding).
The encoding is performed in accordance with the rules of the MMS43 code which
contains 4 alphabets. The leftmost bit in the table is the first arriving bit of
the binary data stream. Accordingly, the leftmost symbol of the ternary signal
is the first to be transmitted onto the line.
Depending on the sum over the three elements of a ternary code word, the ternary
word of a certain alphabet is to be used for the next 4 bits of the binary data
stream. The table specifies the next alphabet to be used after every ternary
code word.
The running digital sum (RDS) is calculated in the decoder and serves the
purpose of error detection.

SCRAMBLER
The binary data stream is scrambled with a polynomial of 23 bits in length. The
polynomial of the scrambler is as follows:
x-23 + x-18 + 1 in the NT and on the exchange-location side of the IR
x-23 + x-5 + 1 in the LT, in the BAMX and on the NT side of the IR
Figure 11 shows an example for the technical realisation of the scrambler.
DESCRAMBLER
On the receiving end, the binary data stream derived from the ternary signal is
multiplied by a polynomial so as to recover the original data.

The polynomial is as follows:
x-23 + x-18 + 1 in the LT, in the BAMX and on the NT side of the IR
and
x-23 + x-5 + 1 in the NT and on the exchange-location side of the
IR. Apart from that, in the LT at loop 1, in the
BAMX at loop 5 and in the IR at loop 4.

3 PROCEDURES ON ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION
3.1 ALARM PROCEDURE
(See also guideline FTZ 1 TR 210 activation / deactivation)
3.1.1 THE ALARM AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SIGNAL
The alarm procedure causes the idle device parts to switch on and the start
procedure to begin. Following recognition, a transmitted alarm signal is
acknowledged by the remote / distant line interface using the same signal shape.
This alarm and acknowledgement signal (INFO U1W, INFO U2W) consists of the
(ternary) pulse sequence transmitted 16 directly successive times.
+ + + + + + + + - - - - - - - -
The alarm signal has a basic frequency of 7.5 kHz +/- 100 ppm and a duration
of 256 step intervals = 2.133 ... ms. The shape and amplitude of the
individual pulses are in keeping with Section 2.1.
3.1.2 PROCEDURE ON THE SIDE GIVING THE ALARM
After transmission of the alarm signal, the side giving the alarm waits for the
acknowledgement signal; the alarm signal is repeated after the time TU13 or TU14
if the acknowledgement has not been recognised beforehand. The repetition is
different for LT and NT (see Table 2).
If the alarm signal interpreted as an acknowledgement signal is recognised, then
a possible repetition of this signal is waited for immediately thereafter (this
occurs if two alarm signals concur). The start procedure begins after a delay of
TU7 or TU1O following recognition of the acknowledgement if such a repetition is
not recognised beforehand (see Figure 3 and Table 2).
FTZ 1 TR 220 Page 8 August 1991
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, if such a repetition is recognised, this signal is interpreted as
"alarm" and all reactions to this signal now take place in accordance with
Section 2.1.3 (i.e. the side giving the alarm passes to the state "activated by
alarm").
3.1.3 PROCEDURE ON THE SIDE ACTIVATED BY THE ALARM
After recognition of an alarm signal, the acknowledgement alarm signal is
transmitted. Then, a possible repetition of the alarm signal is waited for (this
occurs in the case of interference to the acknowledgement reception). The start
procedure begins after a delay of TU7 or TU1O following recognition of the alarm
signal if such a repetition is not recognised beforehand. However, if such a
repetition is recognised, all procedures on the side activated by the alarm are
repeated.

3.1.5 REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON THE RECEIVER OF THE ALARM SIGNAL
An alarm or acknowledgement signal must be recognised if 14 input-signal edges
of the same direction are recognised as shown in Figure 14 in uninterrupted
succession and edges occur after the required period duration for a time of
0.38 ms ... 0.55 ms.
3.2 THE COURSE OF THE PROCEDURES

5 ELECTRICAL EFFECTS
5.1 PERMISSIBLE SURGE VOLTAGE AT Uko IN THE EXCHANGE (LT)
A transverse voltage between the a-wire and the b-wire of up to 0.8 kV, normal
wave 1.2 / 50 us with internal resistance 38 ohms (see Figure 15) must not cause
the destruction of components.
A longitudinal voltage of the a-wire and b-wire with respect to ground of up to
1.5 kV, normal wave 10 / 700 us with internal resistance 40 ohms must not cause
the destruction of components.
5.2 PERMISSIBLE SURGE VOLTAGE AT Uko ON THE SUBSCRIBER SIDE (NT) OR AT THE
INTERMEDIATE REGENERATOR (IR)
A transverse voltage between the a-wire and the b-wire of up to 0.8 kV, normal
wave 1.2 / 50 us with internal resistance 38 ohms (see Figure 15) must not cause
the destruction of components.
A longitudinal voltage of the a-wire and b-wire with respect to ground of up to
2 kV, normal wave 10 / 700 us with internal resistance 40 ohms must not cause
the destruction of components.
5.3 STATIC ELECTRICITY ON Uko
Discharges of static electricity on the a-wire or b-wire of the subscriber
connection line to ground of up to 12 kV must not cause the destruction of
components. Evidence of this must be given using the measurement procedure
specified in the guideline FTZ 12 TR 1, Part 30.
5.4 EFFECTS OF HIGH VOLTAGE AND EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
Longitudinal voltages of up to 65 Veff, 16 2/3 Hz or 50 Hz, must not interfere
with the information transmission. The longitudinal currents which occur in this
case are less than 3 A.
For an additional longitudinal voltage of up to 25 Veff, 16 2/3 Hz or 50 Hz, a
short to ground on the subscriber side must not cause damage of components.
Brief longitudinal voltages of less than 0.2 s duration and of values up to 300
Veff, 16 2/3 Hz or 50 Hz, must not cause damage to components or cause
significant interference with operation, e.g. the breaking of the connection.
(See DIN VDE 0228 Part 1)
FTZ 1 TR 220 Page 10 August 1991
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.5 MAINS CONTACT
The contact of a wire with the mains (230 Veff, 50 Hz) must not give rise to the
danger of fire.

INTRODUCTION
This guideline describes the functional and electrical features of the UK2
interface for the ISDN primary multiplex connection. The connection between the
network termination device NTPM (NT1) and the line termination device (LT) is
realised by means of the UK2 interface. In the case of long connection lines,
intermediate regenerators are deployed.
Page 4
Annex A shows the assignment of the UK2 interface in the connection-line
network.
The range of the transmission line is determined by the maximum permissible
field attenuation. This is in the range between 0 dB to 40 dB for a frequency of
1024 kHz.
FEATURES OF THE INTERFACE
TRANSMISSION PROPERTIES
The UK2 interface enables transmission independent of the bit order of 2.048
Mbit/s data signals on two symmetrical copper twin wires in accordance with
ITU-T G.703.
Here, one symmetrical copper double accumulator is used for each of the two
transmission directions (simplex operation). The switching / mix-up of the wires
of one transmission direction must not lead to any interference (UK2 incoming/a
switched with UK2 incoming/b).
Repeaters must be used for connection to the transmission line.
REMOTE SUPPLY
An intermediate regulator (IR) which may be present is supplied remotely from
the line termination device via the UK2 interface with the aid of a phantom
circuit. Here, a maximum remote supply of 200 V (in the case of a fault up to
240 V) must be assumed. The requirements listed in the EN 60 950 must be taken
into account.
BIT RATE
The nominal bit rate is 2048 kbit/s +/- 50 ppm.
LINE CODE
A HDB3 code is used in accordance with ITU-T G.703.
CLOCK SUPPLY
The clock is to be derived from the digital signal received at the UK2 incoming
interface.

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES
TRANSMISSION INTERFACE UK2 OUTGOING
SIGNAL AT UK2 OUTGOING
Transmission pulses with an approximately sinusoidal waveform are sent via the
UK2 outgoing interface. The tolerances for the amplitude and shape of the pulses
at the UK2 outgoing interface, which is terminated with 130 ohms real, are
specified in Annex B. Annex B applies for a bipolar signal with a random
sequence of binary values 1 and 0. The standardised value A = 1, i.e.
instantaneous voltage value measured at the phase position 90(degree), is to be
2.36 Vso +/- 10%.
REFLECTIVE ATTENUATION AT UK2 OUTGOING
The reflective attenuation of the impedance of the UK2 outgoing interface is to
be > 16 dB against a resistance of 130 ohms real. The reflective attenuation is
to be measured selectively using a measurement signal in the frequency range 100
kHz to 950 kHz. In the process, the level of the measurement signal at the UK2
outgoing interface must not exceed -10 dBm. The requirements placed on the
reflective attenuation must be fulfilled for AIS and QZF3 215-1 as a
transmission signal.
UNSYMMETRICAL ATTENUATION AT UK2 OUTGOING
The unsymmetrical attenuation at the UK2 outgoing interface is to exceed 35 dB
at 1 MHz.
JITTER AT UK2 OUTGOING
The jitter requirements placed on the UK2 outgoing interface are to be found in
the technical delivery conditions of the corresponding devices.
RECEIVER INPUT UK2 INCOMING
DYNAMICS AT UK2 INCOMING
The receiver at the UK2 incoming interface is to be able to regenerate a signal
whose level can be attenuated by between 0 dB and 40 dB (at 1 MHz) with respect
to the UK2 outgoing level (see Section 0). A single-range equaliser is to be
used.
The basis for the measurement of the equaliser are the attenuation averages of
cables of Deutsche Telekom AG for wire diameters of 0.35 mm to 0.8 mm (see Annex
C).

Page 6
REFLECTIVE ATTENUATION AT UK2 INCOMING
The reflective attenuation of the impedance of the UK2 incoming interface is to
be > 16 dB against a resistance of 130 ohms real. The reflective attenuation is
to be measured selectively using a measurement signal in the frequency range 100
kHz to 950 kHz. In the process, the level of the measurement signal at the
connection UK2 incoming must not exceed -10 dBm.
UNSYMMETRICAL ATTENUATION AT UK2 INCOMING
The unsymmetrical attenuation at the UK2 incoming interface is to exceed 35 dB
at 1 MHz.
MAXIMUM JITTER AT UK2 INCOMING
The jitter requirements placed on the UK2 incoming interface are to be found in
the technical delivery conditions of the corresponding devices.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Fundamentally, the limiting values (1 TR 9) for devices outside of
telecommunications operation rooms and the requirements contained in ETS 600 046
(primary rate access - safety and protection) apply. For more details, see the
technical delivery conditions of the relevant transmission facilities.
