`Fig. 4.13 Power feed configuration at the U interface.
`
`In European ISDNs, the U transceiver side of an NT] for both 2B1Q and 4B3T
`systems will
`typically be powered remotely from the network across
`the
`transmission cable, thus allowing the network operator to maintain full control
`over the U transmission system at all times. The S/T user—network interface may
`under normal conditions be powered locally from the NTl using a local power
`source such as mains or batteries, and is backed-up with remote power from the
`network under emergency power conditions where the local power source fails.
`When active, the NTl must consume no more than SOOmW of power from the
`network, and in a deactivated state must consume no more than 120 mW. Under
`emergency power conditions when the NTl is expected to also power the user's
`designated terminal
`across
`the user—network interface,
`then the power
`consumption of an active NTl is allowed to rise to a maximum of 1.1W8. This
`power is delivered as a DC voltage and current that varies between different
`ISDNs due to the different safety requirements and subscriber loop configurations.
`' The minimum voltage at the NT] required for correct operation is 28V, while the
`feed voltage at the exchange may vary from network to network from 51 V
`to 115V.
