The G.shdsl (G.991.2) standard specifies symmetrical connection to 2 wires for subscriber’s lines. The handshake negotiations are done according to the ITU-T G.994.1 recommendation. It can be configured as LTU (central) or NTU (user), always working as a cluster to other interfaces in the
equipment. It can be configured to operate in quasi-synchronous, synchronous or automatic selection modes. It can be configured to operate as per Annex A, B or with automatic selection, defined on recommendation
G.991.2. It supports operation with rates up to 2,304 kbit/s per line, according to annexes A and B in standard
G.991.2. It can carry from 1 to 36 64-kbit/s timeslots, with line channel alignment. The interface range alternates according to the transmission rate, between 7,100m (for 192kbit/s on a
noise-free 0.4-mm line) and 4,100m (for 2,304kbit/s on a noise-free 0.4-mm line). When configured as NTU, the interface accepts any rate, annex and frame type that the LTU indicates
during the handshake. The number of channels of the aggregate should always be the same or larger to the sum of tributaries channels.
Only for DM991C/CE: The interface has primary protection - (sparklers) capable of supporting electrical discharges according to the ITU-T K.21 recommendation.
Product Manual - DM991 Series V Family - 204.4092.08 16
The cabinets destined to the DM991S/SE models usually have primary protection devices, so these models do not come with additional sparklers.
3.1. Interface Characteristics
ITU-T Recommendation G.991.2 describes a transmission method for data transport in telecommunication access networks over twisted pairs in the full-duplex mode, with echo canceling.
The interface operate in lines of type 135ohms balanced. The line coding is 16-level TC-PAM type (16-TCPAM). The table below shows the line encoding and power transmitted to each annex.

Connection is done by the basic phases: Handshake, Training, and Data Mode.
3.2. Handshake (Pre-activation)
The pre-activation phase follows ITU-T Recommendation G.994.1, which describes the handshake procedures for xDSL transceivers.
While on this phase, the two equipments exchange information and they negotiate the parameters that will be used for the connection.
The ends implement a 12 kHz DPSK modem for the NTU and 20 kHz one for the LTU to perform the handshake. The Recommendation predefined messages are exchanged and the equipments agree to a common mode of operation.
In this phase, many parameters are set: the final transmission rate, Annex to be used (A or B), type of information to transport (TPS-TC - Transmission Protocol-Specific Transmission Convergence), type of transmission frame (plesiochronous or synchronous), and some others.
If the interfaces do not converge to a common configuration, the two equipments abort the transmission and they do not pass to the next stage: they will retry after some moments.
For the DM991 the user equipment (NTU) will always accept the configuration sent to it by the office equipment (LTU), easing installation.
During handshake, the DSL interface LED stays mostly off, briefly blinking once a second.
3.3. Training (Activation)
In this phase the two modems test the transmission line using the rate that was agreed during handshake to determine which coefficients they shall employ for the receive and transmit digital filters.
During training, the equipments use the normal line coding (TC-PAM) and they no longer use DPSK encoding.
At first, both modems test the line. Then the precoder coefficients are exchanged and used during data transmission.
Two things can occur at the end of this stage: the modems do pass the training phase, they determine the adequate coefficients for the line, and then they enter the data mode or, the modems cannot determine the coefficients, for some reason (maybe the line is too long, or there is too much noise, or during training some very strong perturbation renders the convergence not viable, etc.) and they abort transmission.
Product Manual - DM991 Series V Family - 204.4092.08 17
In the activation stage, the DSL interface LED blinks once a second (on and off times are equal).
3.4. Data Mode
This is the final stage, where the modem transmits data normally. It will use the final G.shdsl frame, sending information as negotiated during handshake and using the coefficients that were calculated after the transmission line was evaluated during the training period.
Whenever the interface is in sync, the DSL status LED will remain on.
3.4.1. G.shdsl Frame Structure
The G.shdsl frame has four data blocks (payload blocks) that are separated by the header bits. The header repeats itself each 6ms, regardless of the configured rate.
The header has an essential function for data transmission, for it ensures alignment, it transports management information through EOC (Embedded Operations Channel) and it also has a data error identification mechanism (CRC6).
The frame G.shdsl also allows to transmit CAS information (Channel Associated Signilling) from link E1.

Table 8. G.shdsl Frame Structure
During the data mode, link failures can occur. Such failures are monitored and reported to the user as follows:
3.4.2. CRC Anomaly
A CRC anomaly shall be declared when the received CRC6 information is different from the CRC6 generated on the received data. The CRC6 bits are part of the previous G.shdsl frame. A discrepancy between the received CRC6 value and the evaluated CRC6 on the interface indicates that an error occurred in some bit (or bits) of the frame, but it does not indicate how many, or which bits were in error.
The interface status LED will blink once every second, remaining ON the most of the time while a CRC error is showing up.
3.4.3. Loop Attenuation Defect
A loop attenuation defect occurs when the line displays an attenuation that exceeds the programmed threshold. The standard limit for the DM991 G.shdsl interface is 35 dB.
Product Manual - DM991 Series V Family - 204.4092.08 19
3.4.4. SNR Margin Defect
An SNR margin defect occurs when the signal-to-noise ratio falls below the specified margin, i.e., when the signal quality is too poor. The standard signal-to-noise ratio for the DM991 G.shdsl interface is 6 dB.
3.4.5. LOSW Defect
An LOSW (Loss of Sync Word Defect) defect shall be declared when at least three consecutive received frames contain one or more errors in the framing bits. The term framing bits shall refer to that portion of Frame Sync Word, Stuff Bits and Stuff Bit Ids – see Table 8 -, which are used for G.shdsl frame synchronization. An LOSW defect shall be cleared when at least two consecutive received frames contain no errors in the framing bits. For the DM991, the error indication is activated for one second after the reception of the two error-free consecutive frames.
When the interface is indicating LOSWD, the DSL interface status LED blinks four times per second (4 Hz).
3.4.6. LOSW Failure
An LOSW failure (Loss of Sync Word Failure) shall be declared after 2.5 ± 0.5 seconds of contiguous LOSW defect. The LOSWF shall be cleared when the LOSW defect is absent for 20 seconds or less (i.e. clear within 20 s). The minimum hold time for indication of LOSW failure shall be 2 seconds.
When the interface is indicating LOSWF, the DSL interface status LED blinks eight times per second (i.e. at 4 Hz).
3.5. G.shdsl Interface Configurations
The operation modes are all configured by software. The explanation of the configuration parameters of the G.shdsl interface is presented below.
3.5.1. Terminal Type
Indicates if the interface operates as LTU (central office) or as NTU (subscriber). When the modem is configured as LTU, it will determine every connection parameters during handshake,
as the Annex to be used, the number of channels, the clock type (synchronous or plesiochronous), etc. It is not possible to recover the system clock from the interface clock when it is set up in such a way.
When the modem is set up as NTU, it is mandatory that the settings of the annex and of the clock type (Frame Mode) be automatic, for it accepts any settings determined by the LTU.
It is not possible to interconnect two equipments which are set up for the same type of terminal, for the handshake happens between LTU and NTU only.
3.5.2. Frame Mode
This option determines the interface operating mode as synchronous or plesiochronous. In plesiochronous mode, the transmission and receive clocks are independent of the line clock, which is
generated by the LTU. The line clock shall be accurate to within ± 32 ppm of the nominal frequency, as defined by G.991.2. Periodically, four stuff bits are automatically inserted to adequate the data clock to the line clock. This procedure is essential for equipment synchronization.
Product Manual - DM991 Series V Family - 204.4092.08 20
When set up in synchronous mode, the line clock becomes the same as the data clock. The precision of such clock gets to be, thus, the same as the precision of the clock that is selected as the equipment synchronization clock. Recommendation G.991.2 states that the clock precision shall be within ± 32 ppm, regardless of the clock scheme selected, so it is up to the user to set up a clock with such precision so as to operate within the Recommendation bounds (or the user can use a less precise clock, operating out of the Recommendation). In this way, the stb1 and stb2 stuff bits are always present, while stb3 and stb4 are not transmitted.
In the automatic selection mode, the LTU will use the NTU-selected mode. If the NTU accepts any mode (automatic configuration), the synchronous mode will be used.
3.5.3. Annex
The annexes determine slight variations on the Recommendation to better suit the equipment to the employed line.
One of three annex options can be chosen: A, B or automatic selection. Annex A describes those specifications that are unique to lines operating under conditions such as those
typically encountered within the North American network. Annex B describes those specifications that are unique to lines operating under conditions such as those
typically encountered within European networks. For the automatic selection mode, the LTU will employ the NTU-selected annex. If the NTU accepts any
type of annex, Annex B will be used.
3.6. Performance
The interface performance is directly related to the transmission line characteristics. The gauge and the length of the line wire, the noise and the susceptibility to micro-interruptions to which
the line is subjected will determine the maximum transmission rate. The range also diminishes if the line sports a great number of splices and stubs. The length of the stubs
also alters the line characteristics. This can increase the signal reflections and the line noise. For a noise-free line using a 0.4-mm gage wire, with no seams or bifurcations, the range will be of 4,100
m for 2,304kbit/s, and with a modem set to 192kbit/s, the range can reach 7,100 m. These tests were conducted with an artificial transmission line emulating the behavior of an actual line.
The table 9 includes the expected ranges for some rates on a noise-free artificial line.

3.7. Four wire operation (4W)
The 4W modems presents two G.shdsl ports, these modems can operate in two ways.
3.7.1. Operating on two wires
When this modem is operating on 2 wires the data will be transmitted simultaneously on lines A and B, adopting (1+1) protection system.
The protection is semi-automatic, that is, after commuting to the backup link, data passes through this link until it has problems.
The switching time between both lines is approximately 1 second.
3.7.2. Operating on four wires:
When operating on 4 wires, this modem uses ports A and B as a single interface, being able to transmit on a longer reach and more bandwidth.
The number of timeslots used in the 4 wires operation is always pair (Nx128kbit/s), that is, if the configuration is set for an odd number, automatically one more timeslot will be used.
3.8. Electrical Protection
When the analogue lines of the G.shdsl interface pass through paths that can suffer from electric or atmospheric discharges, it is recommended that the user adds primary protection devices to the lines.
The G.shdsl interface of models DM991C and DM991CE already has sparkler devices, among others, as primary protection.
It is not appropriate to employ varistors as G.shdsl lines protection devices, as their high capacitance
value can lower the interface performance significantly. The same care should be taken when using
inductive protection.
Product Manual - DM991 Series V Family - 204.4092.08 22
4. V.35-V36/V.11 DIGITAL INTERFACE
The DB25 connector follows the ISO2110 Amd. 1 recommended pinout, for the V.35 interface as well as for the V.36/V.11.
In the DM991S/SE modems, that pinout can be altered to the Telebrás standard through the straps. Interface V.35
In the case of DM991S/SE modems, that pinning can be changed to the Telebrás standard through straps.
In the case of DM991C/CE modems, you have the option of asking for equipment with a pinning selections between ISO2110 Amd.1 and Telebrás standard through straps.
Data and clock signals are the differential balanced type, according to ITU-T’s V.11 recommendation. Signals CT107, CT108, CT109, CT140, CT141 and CT142 follow the characteristics of recommendation V.28 (compatible with recommendation V.10). Control signals CT105 and CT106 can be configured by straps to follow the characteristics of recommendation V.28 (for V.35) or V.11 (for V.36/V.11).
The ETD can provide synchronism for data receiving through CT128. The digital interface can be set up in rates from Nx64kbit/s to 2,304kbit/s on 2-wire modems (2W), and up
to 4,608kbit/s on 4-wire modems (4W).

5. G.703 - G.704 INTERFACE
The interface allows usage of coaxial cable (75ohms) or for twisted pairs (120ohms). The cables are attached through transformers, so there is no polarity for the twisted pair.
5.1. DM991S/SE
There are straps which allow connecting the external net of the coaxial cable to the ground cable. This works either for the input channel (RX-IN) as for the output channel (TX-OUT).
The output wire that goes through pin 18B of the EDGE 2x30 connector is connected to the central pin of the E10 strap, and is the TX-OUT cable, that can be connected to the ground cable through this strap. In this case, it must be identified for each cabinet model which was the TX-OUT screw to be grounded by the strap, so it can be connected to the coaxial cable net. On the sub-racks, usually, the inferior TX-OUT screw is grounded.
The input wire that goes through pin 21B of the EDGE 2x30 connector is connected to the central pin through strap E11, and is the RX-IN cable, that can be connected to the ground wire through this strap. The same identification procedure of which screw has been grounded must take effect in this case. In the sub-rack, usually, the inferior TX-OUT screw is grounded.
Modem signal G.703 is available on Dial Backup terminals in the terminal strip.

When using twisted pair (120ohms), make sure the straps are not in the ground position.
When installing the DM991S/SE
, remove the protection varistors from the cabinet or sub rack. These
varistors deform the G.703 signal pulses, which can cause wro
ng bits, working intermittently, or even
completely stopping the circuit activation.
In case the cabinet or shelf was made by DATACOM or has
gas-filled valve arrester instead of varistors, no changes are required.

6. ETHERNET INTERFACE
The DM991SE and DM991CE Ethernet interfaces allow interconnecting two LANs thru G.shdsl aggregated. It can be configured to Nx64kbit/s speed, to the aggregate configured limit. This tributary can be used joined with other modem tributaries.
Accepts packets of up to 1552 bytes, supporting VLAN.
6.1. Ethernet physical level
The DM991CE and DM991SE converters Ethernet interface is 10/100BaseT, according to the IEEE 802.3 specification.
The connection to the Ethernet interface is done through an RJ45 connector, seen in the front panel. The connector pinout is such that allows the use of straight cables to connect the equipment to Ethernet hubs.
6.2. Remote Bridge
The bridge’s basic function is to segment a local network, avoiding all the Ethernet traffic to be transmitted by the local equipment to the remote equipment, wasting band.
To do so, the bridge can automatically learn the MAC addresses of the stations connected to the local network. In that way, it can filter the network traffic and transmit to the WAN side only the packets corresponding to the MAC addresses that do not pertain to the local network, besides broadcast and multicast packets.
The bridge operates on the MAC level of the Ethernet interface. In this way the tributary is completely transparent for upper layers protocols, such as TCP/IP, UDP, etc.
The bridge local address table can store up to 1.000 MAC addresses. If a station remains inactive for more than five minutes, its address will be removed from the table.
The process of filtering the packets to be transmitted imposes no limitation to the data flow. The delay introduced by the Bridge processing is of only 1 Ethernet frame.
The bridge has a buffer to Ethernet -> G.shdsl that may store up 322 packages Ethernet with 1552 bytes, but smaller packages may be stored in greater quantity.
In order G.shdsl -> Ethernet has a buffer of 64 packets of 1552 bytes Ethernet. Similarly, using smaller packages permites store more ones. Using this direction there is no filtering, because it has already been done by the bridge from remote equipment.
6.3. Ethernet Interface Configurations
The following interface configurations are possible:
WAN Speed - It allows for the selection from 1 to 36 64-kbit/s time slots on 2-wire modems (2W), and from 1 to 72 time slots on 4-wire modems (4W);
Self-negotiation - allows negotiation with the equipment connected by the Ethernet interface on the operating mode, interface velocity, and flow control use;
Duplex - it is possible to choose between the Full-Duplex (both sides transmit simultaneously) and Half-Duplex modes (one side transmits at a time);
