¾ receiver sensitivity : -36 dB
1 Introduction
The MD 2000 is an mDSL modem (Multi-Rate Digital Subscriber Line) which provides multi rate symmetrical data transmission over a 2
wire dedicated metallic line at speeds up to 2.048Mbps, in increment of 64 Kbps in framed mode or 2.32 or even 4.64 Mbps in clear
channel mode. One of the main advantages of mDSL modems compared to earlier technology is the fact that the line transmission
speed can be adapted either manually or automatically to the line conditions and line length, to provide optimum performance. The CAP
modulation also provides optimum transmission performances such as:
Narrow spectrum limits cross-talk with adjacent pairs - 500 kHz at 2.32 Mbps
High rate up-to 4.64 Mbps
On-line multi rate to meet the best rate according to the line characteristics
Transmission conforms to ETSI ETS 1001 135 and ITU-T G.991.1 standards
Transmission with echo canceller for better performance when noise or cross-talk on line
Super-frame up-to 2.048Mbps optimizes the synchronization and allows error rate statistics and Nx64 Kbps rate adaptation
1.1 DTE Interfaces
The MD 2000 can be equipped with different types of interfaces:
V.11 and
V.35
interface
V28 -
RS232
E1 G.703-
G.704
interface
T1 G.704
interface
J64 64
Kbps-
G.703
interface
10BT and
HUB
interface
for synchronous data transmission at speeds up-to 4.64Mbps. Clocks can be configured either as internal, external or
receive recovery modes. Most output signals may be forced or activated when the connection is established.
:
this interface carries synchronous links at 64Kbps or 128Kbps, or asynchronous data at 300 to 115,200 bps by
:
synchronous over sampling.
for E1 transmission. The link can be established at a rate of 2.048 Mbps for the transmission of full 32 timeslot E1
signal, or at a lower rate in increments of 64 Kbps for fractional E1 mode, the G..704 interface at 2.048 Mbps being
reconfigured at the end of the link.
:
for T1 transmission. The link can be established at a rate of 1.544 Mbps for the transmission of full 24 timeslot T1
:
signal, or at a lower rate in increments of 64 Kbps for fractional T1 mode, the G.704 interface at 1.544 Mbps being
reconfigured at the end of the link.
for a single 64 Kbps channel transmission. The remote modem can be either an E1 / G.703-G.704 or a V.35 - X.21
model set up for 64 Kbps mode.
:
the built-in Ethernet bridge filters the frames in accordance with their destination MAC address. Only frames with nonlocal MAC addresses are transmitted to the remote modem. The bridge can memorize up to 10.000 local addresses
and process 15.000 frames per second. The HUB version provides 8 Ethernet ports and thus avoids the addition of
an external mini-hub for the end termination.
:

Instruction Manual MD 2000
1.3 Installation and initial set-up
The MD 2000 is easy to install. One modem must be configured as NTU (Network Termination Unit) at one end of the line, and the other
end as LTU (Line Termination Unit). The clock signals can be independently configured.
The MD 2000 offers an automatic connection mode, which probes the line to connect at the best possible rate. This automatic mode can
be disabled in order to force a pre-determined rate; in a Telecommunication provider/Subscriber environment, the rate may be set at the
central site and the subscriber modem will automatically adjust itself to the same rate without user intervention. This automatic mode is
activated by the following configuration
¾ The LTU Network modem – disable lower rate fall back : %H0 parameter
¾ NTU Line modem – automatic setting : @U0 parameter
1.4 Configuration
The MD 2000 is configured via the serial control port located on the rear of the equipment (RJ-45).
In VT100 emulation mode, the configuration is menu driven with on-line help facilities. Only a few keyboard strokes will be required to
set and save the modem parameters. These menus also initiate analog and digital test loops and display a status report as well as bit
error rate statistics.
Alternatively the modem can be configured using an AT command set which provides access to all modem parameters.
The MD 2000 PR card can also be configured by the CFIP controller card of the AMS16 chassis though its local VT100 mode or TC P-IP
Telnet and SNMP management protocols.
1.5 Factory Configurations
The MD 2000 includes two factory configurations: one NTU mode and one LTU mode, which allow for faster and easier installation since
you do not have to configure the modem via the control port. The NTU or LTU configuration is easily selected by pressing the front panel
push button during the power- up sequence on the LED front panel version. See chapter 3.
1.6 Alarm relays
The MD2000 is equipped with an alarm relay whose contacts are available on the rear of the equipment via the stereo jack. This relay is
activated in the following conditions:
¾ In case of power loss
¾ In case of error during the power up self test
¾ In case of a carrier loss during a time period longer than a preset threshold
¾ By an AT command.
1.7 G.703/G.704 Interface
The E1 -T1 / G.704 interface operates at a constant rate of 2.048 Mbps (E1) or
1.544 Mbps (T1) with 32 or 24 timeslots (framed mode). However, if this rate can not be reached under some line conditions, then only a
number (N) of timeslots can be transmitted in Nx64 mode (fractional E1 / T1 mode) with the remaining time slots being discarded.
The first timeslot (TS0) of the E1 interface can be either transmitted transparently or controlled locally by setting TS1 as the start
timeslot. The MD2703 can manage the CRC4 in this mode.
The MD20T1 can manage the CRC6.
1.8 Application Examples
The MD2000 can be used for a wide variety of applications such as:
Local Area Network interconnection – LAN to LAN with filtering bridge
High rate data transmission at 4.64 Mbps in clear channel mode
G.703-G.704 PABX interconnection
E1-G.704-PRI mode subscriber to network connection
T1 / DSX-1 interconnection

configured as follows:
The MD2000 configuration can be made either in AT command mode or VT100 Interactive menu mode. The choice of mode is
automatic: the AT command mode is activated when an “AT” or ”at” character string is received from the control port. The VT100 menu
mode is started when the modem detects three consecutive carriage returns or “ENTER” characters.
The use of the VT100 mode offers valuable advantages such as simplicity and on-line help.
The use of the AT commands allows writing configuration script programs. The scripts can be saved to a PC file and can also be
protected with a password.
In either mode, all of the modem configuration parameters can be modified and saved to memory.
5.1 Factory and User Configurations
The modem has 4 different configurations: two read-only factory configurations and two user definable configurations, which can be
modified and saved by the user.
The configuration process consists of setting up the modem parameters for the application and then saving these parameters in the user
memory location, which is activated even after a power shut-off.
Chapter 13 describes the various memories used by the modem.
5.2 VT100 Interactive Menus
The modem sends the VT100 menu pages when it detects three consecutive <CR> or 'ENTER' characters.
The possible choices are listed on the bottom line of the screen:
1 to 9 are valid options on the menu to start a sub-menu or to change a parameter value
P or p: to return to the Previous menu
Q or q or <Esc>: to Quit the VT100 menus and return to the AT command mode

5.3 AT Command Mode
The MD 2000 recognizes the AT commands when not in a VT100 menu.
AT command Syntax
An AT command starts with an ”AT” or “at” character string and ends with a carrier return (or “ENT ER»). Between are the parameters
and their value.
As an example: 'AT%O0<CR>'
¾ AT is the command identifier
¾ %O Is the master or slave selection command
¾ 0 is the value for the Slave mode
¾ <CR> ends the command; the modem activates the command as soon as this suffix is received.
Commands can be entered individually or grouped on a single line as in the following example which sets the Master/Slave mode and
the transmission level:
AT%O0%XL4<CR>
Status page
The modem displays pages of status and configuration when the "AT&Sn<CR>" command is entered. Hereafter are two samples of
status pages.

7 10BT and 8 port HUB Bridge Interface
This chapter describes the operation of the Ethernet 10BT and 8 port Hub interfaces of the MD 2000 version.
7.1 General
The Ethernet 10baseT and 8 port Hub interfaces provide LAN-to-LAN connection via a high-speed link up to 4.6 40 Mbps. In a typical
application, the 10 BaseT single port will be used at the central site to connect to the LAN and the 8 port HUB will be used at the remote
location to connect several workstations without the need for any additional equipment. Both interfaces have been designed as a
filtering bridge to optimize the traffic on the high-speed connection between modems.
Principle
The bridge transmits all types of Ethernet frames without exception (including the broadcast frames).
In order to absorb the Ethernet traffic peaks, the interface has a 256 frame buffer which are transmitted at the rate provided by the
modem
connection.
The Ethernet filtering consists of only transmitting frames which destination MAC address is not known on the local Ethernet network. In
other words the modem does not transmit the frames with a local destination address. This function optimizes the traffic between the
modems and increases the throughput seen by the local network.
For filtering purposes, the interface memorizes up to 10,000 local station addresses in its memory. The address of stations that do not
transmit nor receive any frame during a 5 minute delay, is automatically suppressed from the memory (address aging principle).
A built-in Ethernet compression algorithm does not transmit the padding bits of the short frames and reconstruct them on the receive
site. This function optimizes the traffic between the modems and increases the throughput seen by the local network.
The DTR-INTF LED on the front panel is permanently ON for the hub version and reflects the link integrity of the 10BT bridge version.
Wiring
To facilitate the network wiring:
The RJ-45 plug on the MD20BT bridge is wired as a station mode and connects to the network as any other station. T he prope r wire
polarity must be checked when wiring the bridge.
The RJ-45 plug on the HUB of the MD2HUB is wired as a HUB mode to directly connect the stations. The ports on the HUB
automatically detect the polarity of the received signal on the connected stations. The wiring polarity is therefore not important.
Modem Configuration
Only the LTU – NTU mode must be configured for each modem, the rate can be set on automatic mode.
7.2 Interface Configuration
*F Command "Ethernet Address Filtering"
This parameter enables or disables the frame filtering of the Ethernet local addresses.
Format: AT*Fn
*F0 no filtering, all frames are transmitted
*F1 filtering, only the frames of unknown destination address are transmitted. (Default value)
*P Command "Padding bit Compression"
This parameter enables or disables the discarding of Ethernet padding bits for the transmission between the modems. Padding bits are
regenerated at the other side.
Format: AT*Pn
*P0 compression disabled, the frames are integrally transmitted
*P1 compression enabled, the padding bits are discarded before transmission and regenerated at the receive end
(default value)

8 E1 G.703-G.704 Interface Configuration
This chapter describes the operation of the MD2703 E1 G.703-G.704 interface.
8.1 General
MD2703 modems, equipped with G.703-G.704 interfaces, provide a transmission path for PCM, E1 or PRI links over 2 wire metallic
lines. The MD2000 could be configured to transmit and receive all or part of the 32 timeslots of an E1 link in order to match the
maximum rate permissible on a line or to accommodate longer lines.
Principle
The interface presents a fixed rate of 2.048 Mbps, G.703 clear channel or framed G.704.
The interface extracts and presents to the E1 link a number,
of a full E1 is achieved when N=32 which is the transmission of the 32 timeslots. If N is less than 32 then the E1 link is referred to as a
fractional E1 or FE1.
If the first timeslot is not transported, the MD2703 provides the local G.704 synchronization with or without CRC4 control.
The DTR-INTF LED is ON if the G.703-G.704 interface receives a signal, it sho ws that a G.703 carrier has been detected. It is O FF in
the opposite case.
Modem Configuration
The line rate must be 2.048Mbps maximum. The 2.32 Mbps and 4.64 Mbps line rates are not allowed when using the E1 G.703-G.7 04
interface even if the modem parameters allow them. The automatic mode (@U0) remains possible but the modem will automatically
exclude the 2.32 Mbps and 2.64 Mbps rates.
Clock Configurations
The transmit clock source of the G.703 interface can be internal, external from the remote modem or slaved to the re ceive G.703 carrier
of the E1 interface.
The MD2000 always synchronizes on the G.703 receive clock for the receive data path.
When planning and installing a G.703 link, special care must be given to the combinations of the clocks to be used at both end of the
link.
Internal Clock
The MD2000 uses its internal clock to transmit data on the G.703 interface. All other equipment on the network must synchronize to this
clock.
Example:
Local Terminal
Equipment
Equipment
controlled by
the receive
Clock
External Clock
The clock is supplied by the network. The local MD2000 passes its synchronization to the remote modem, which in turn pass it to the
terminal equipment. The same scenario is used on the return path. This configuration is the most typical:
Example:
Central
/

G.703 cables are available on demand as an option to the MD2703 modem:
This chapter describes the operation of the MD20T1 T1 G.703-G.704 interface.
9.1 General
MD20T1 modems equipped with T1 G.703-G.704 interfaces provide a transmission path for T1 links over 2 wire metallic lines. The
MD2000 could be configured to transmit and receive all or part of the 24 time slots of a T1 link in order to match the maximum rate
permissible on a line or to accommodate longer lines.
The MD20T1 provides all features to adapt to any user application of both DS1 and DSX-1 interconnection.
Principle
The interface presents a constant rate of 1.544 Mbps, T1 clear channel or framed G.704.
The interface extracts and presents to the T1 link a number,
achieved when N=24 which is the transmission of the 24 timeslots. If N is less than 24 then the T1 link is referred to as a fractional T1 or
FT1.
The DTR-INTF LED is ON if the T1 interface receives a signal, it shows that a T1 carrier has been detected. It is OFF in the opposite
case.
Modem Configuration
The line rate must be 1.552 Mbps maximum. The higher (2.064 Mbps, 2.32 Mbps and 4.64 Mbps) line rates are not allowed when using
the T1 interface even if the modem parameters allow them. The automatic mode (@U0) remains possible but the modem will
automatically exclude these rates.
The MD20T1 provides all parameters for deploying a network or interconnecting PBX.
Clock Configurations
The transmit clock source of the T1 interface can be internal, external from the remote modem or slaved to the receive carrier of the T1
interface.
The MD2000 always synchronizes on the T1 receive clock for the receive data path.
When planning and installing a T1 link, special care must be given to the combinations of the clocks to be used at both end of the link.
Internal Clock
The MD2000 uses its internal clock to transmit data. All other equipment on the network must synchronize to this clock.
Example:
Local Terminal
Equipment
Equipment
controlled by
the receive

10 64 Kbps G.703 / J64 Interface Configuration
This chapter describes the operation of the MD2064 and MD 1064 G.703 - 64 Kbps bi-directional J64 interface.
10.1 General
The J64 interface of the MD2064 carries one 64 Kbps channel. The remote modem may be either the same J64 model or an E1 G.703/G.704 interface extracting the first data timeslot of the G.704 frame, or even a X.21-V.11 interface at a rate of 64 Kbps.
The DTR-INTF LED is on if the J64 interface detects a carrier : it reflects the J64 carrier detect. It is off in the opposite case.
Modem Configuration
The J64 transmit clock is typically extracted from the remote interface for this G.703 bi-directional interface. One modem could be set for
internal clock if both end terminals expect a clock from a G.703 network.

12.2 Test
12.2.1 Local Analog Loop
The modem synchronizes to the carrier that it transmits on its line interface. This configuration provides a test of all the internal parts in
the modem. This loop corresponds to an ITU-T V54 B3 loop.
Procedure:
This loop is activated :
In menu 3 of the VT100 interface;
By the AT&T1 command when in AT command mode;
By activating the test menu on the LCD display (when applicable);
By pressing the pushbutton on the front panel and releasing it when the TEST LED flashes once (when applicable) when the
modem is not connected.
12.2.2 Remote Digital Loop
The remote modem (B) sends back data received from the line, which lets the terminal equipment (DTE A) test the data link up to the
remote terminal point (DTE B). This loop corresponds to an ITU-T V54-B2 loop.
Procedure:
This loop is activated from Modem A when the modems are connected at a rate of 64 Kbps to 2.048 Mbps :
In menu 3 of the VT100 interface;
By the AT&T6 command;
By activating the test menu on the LCD (when applicable);
By pressing the push button and releasing it after the TEST LED flashes once (non-LCD version – when applicable).
The same loop can be activated at Modem B by the AT&T3 command at any connection rate.

15.3 Line Evaluation
The characteristics of the line should be evaluated or even qualified when installing xDSL modems.
The line must be a direct point to point metallic pair, which excludes any digital, active or coupling interface.
The following measurements check for the proper xDSL characteristics of the line:
15.3.1 Loop resistance
• Loop resistance : short the wires at one end of the line and measure the loop resistance at the other end.
• Insulation : open the line at one end and measure the insulation resistance at the other end, between each wire and the ground ,
and between
A suitable line should show :
Ö Loop resistance : lower than 500 Ohms
Ö loop insulation resistance : higher than 10 M Ohms
Ö ground insulation resistance : higher than 10 M Ohms
wires.
15.3.2 Loss at 400 KHz
It is practically admitted that a line should have a maximal loss of 28 dB at 400 kHz for an xDSL use.
This measurement is done with a 400 kHz / 0 dBm signal generator at one end of the line and a level / frequency receiver at the other
end. Both generator and receiver should be set for 120 Ohms impedance.
15.3.3 Frequency Response Vs Rate
The best measurement consists in measuring the full frequency response of the line over the entire spectrum used at a given xDSL rate.
The line is suitable when it shows a linear response free of discontinuity with a maximum loss of -38 dB in the following frequ ency
