1-2 Overview
Application
In the application illustrated, each FOM-E1/T1 receives E1 or T1 signals that are
equalized to overcome electrical link distortion. FOM-E1/T1 then converts the E1
or T1 signals into an optical signal.

E1/T1 Interface
• The electrical interface meets requirements of ITU G.703, G.824, G.921 and
G.935 standards for E1 and T1.
• FOM-E1/T1 supports both balanced and unbalanced interfaces.
• FOM-E1/T1 conforms to all relevant ITU standards.
When FOM-E1/T1 detects electrical interface levels below G.703 electrical levels,
the modem transmits an “All 1 signal” (AIS) to the optical interface.
Test and Diagnostics Capabilities
• FOM-E1/T1’s built-in diagnostics comply with the V.54 standard.
• FOM-E1/T1 features a dry contact alarm port for attaching an external alert
device.
• When an AIS is detected at the optical or electrical interface, the modem
transparently converts the signal and alerts the user via front panel LEDs.
