NTDK16BA - 48 Port Digital Line Card

The NTDK16 is a 48 port digital line card, which is supported only in the Chassis (NTDK91) system: 11C mini or CS1000e - it is not compatible with the MG 1010E chassis. Functionally equivalent to three 16 port NT8D02's, and configured as cards 4, 5, and 6 in the main chassis. There are 3 status LED's, one for each equivalent NT8D02 (L4, L5, L6).

The NTDK16 Digital Line Card (DLC) can only be installed in slot 4 of the main chassis which is keyed to prevent accidental insertion of other cards (the chassis does not have physical slots 5 and 6). Circuits are presented on 2 Amphenol connectors, each with 24 ports.

Note: The NTDK16AA 48 port card is similar, but has just one faceplate LED. This LED shows the status of Card 4 only.

Programming:

Add a Multi-line Telephone Line Card (CARDMLT) on three card slots: 4, 5 and 6 in LD 11:

REQ: new
TYPE: cardmlt 0 0 4                 this is a 48 port digital card...
                                    so, repeat for TN 0 0 5, and TN 0 0 6
CTYP <enter>

It behaves just like three separate NT8D02 digital line cards, therefore LD 11: NEW, CHG, OUT, STAT, ENLC, DISC, etc.

Amphenol pinout:

There is half a card 6 (8 TN's) on each 'Card 4/6' and 'Card 5/6' amphenol. The punch-down BIX label is as follows:

Card 4: 0 to 15 / Card 6: 0 to 7
4-04-14-24-34-44-54-64-74-84-94-104-114-124-134-144-156-06-16-26-36-46-56-66-7
5-05-15-25-45-45-55-65-75-85-95-105-115-125-135-145-156-86-96-106-116-126-136-146-15
Card 5: 0 to 15 / Card 6: 8 to 15

Each circuit can service loops up to 1000 meter (3500 ft) in length when using 24-gauge wire.
