The ADTRAN Single-Wide FT1 Repeater provides
three faceplate LEDs which indicate signal quality,
error conditions, and loopback status. See Table A
for a description of the LED indicators.
Operating power is derived from an ADTRAN FT1
DP, independent of line impedance or wire gauge.
The repeater uses some current, then passes the span
power on to the FNID.
LED
Description and Indications
NET
This LED indicates the FT1 signal quality and errors on the Network-side loop. The NET LED will
flash once when an errored second is detected on NET side loop. If the NET LED flashes yellow
rapidly (six times per second), sealing current is present and the FT1 Repeater is attempting to
synchronize with the other FT1 circuit elements.
Off ........ No synchronization with the FT1 DP.
Green .... Synchronized with good signal quality on NET loop (> 2dB margin above 10
–7
BER)
Yellow .. Synchronized with marginal signal quality on NET loop (< 2 dB margin above 10
–7
BER)
Red ........ Synchronized with poor signal quality on NET loop (>10
–7
BER)
CUST
This LED indicates the FT1 signal quality and errors on the Customer-side loop. The CUST LED
will flash once when an errored second is detected on CUST side loop.
Off ........ No synchronization with the FNID.
Green .... Synchronized with good signal quality on CUST loop (> 2dB margin above 10
–7
BER)
Yellow .. Synchronized with marginal signal quality on CUST loop (< 2 dB margin above 10
–7
BER)
Red ........ Synchronized with poor signal quality on CUST loop (>10
–7
BER)
LBK
This LED indicates the status of a loopback detected at the FT1 Repeater.
Off ........ No loopback detected at the FT1 Repeater.
Yellow .. Loopback detected toward NET.

The Single-Wide FT1 Repeater operates at line
losses up to 35.25 dB at 200␣ kHz, in both directions
from the repeater and regenerates the 2B1Q signals
to meet the transmitted power spectrum of Bellcore
TA-NWT-0001210. For deployment guidelines,
refer to subsection 5 of this practice.
The Single-Wide FT1 Repeater is housed in an
environmental apparatus case.
NOTE
Do not remove the metal shell enclosing the
circuit packs.
