Browsing the web

With the web browser feature, you can provide visual proof to customers that a circuit is correctly
provisioned all the way to the Internet. The browser works over both DSL and Ethernet interfaces,
allowing you to surf the web from the customer's NID or demarcation point using only the
OneExpert DSL. For DSL applications, the browser is a separate mode that allows you to connect
to any public web site on the Internet through an internet service provider. The browser can also be
purchased as a general global application for use with the Ethernet port.

Because the browser’s primary purpose is to demonstrate connectivity, it does not have all the
capabilities of typical web browsers, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The web
browser has the following limitations:

– The browser does not cache web pages. The OneExpert DSL does not have sufficient memory

to cache web pages. Each time a page is selected, the OneExpert DSL re-loads the page.

– The browser does not currently support data entry through the browser. For example, you

cannot log into a web mail account.

– The browser does not currently support Java applets, and will not display web pages written in

Java. Sites optimized for quick downloads, such as DSLReports.com, are not supported
because they are based on Java.

Synchronizing to the StrataSync server

StrataSync® is a hosted, cloud-based software application that provides JDSU instrument asset,
configuration, and test-date management. StrataSync manages inventory, test results, and perfor­mance data anywhere with browser-based ease and improves technician and instrument efficiency.

Features include the following:

• Pushing certain configuration settings to the OneExpert DSL

• Adding and/or removing software options on the OneExpert DSL

• Updating the software on the OneExpert DSL

• Updating the software on the modem

• Receiving certain configuration setting from the OneExpert DSL

• Tracking ownership of the OneExpert DSL

To obtain the latest configuration settings, software options and updates, and ownership registration
information, the OneExpert DSL can synchronize with a JDSU server via the internet. The synchro­nization also stores any user files saved on the unit to the StrataSync server. This procedure should
be undertaken immediately upon receipt of the unit and on a regular (daily) basis thereafter to
ensure that the unit is as up-to-date as possible and to allow all user information to be backed up.
Before attempting to synchronize with StrataSync, please confirm your server settings with your
manger or your company's IT organization.

Chapter 4 DSL Testing

About xDSL testing

About xDSL testing

The purpose of the DSL tests are to assess the quality of the xDSL signal and to verify the xDSL
rates achieved at various points in the network.

The tests involve three main steps:

• selecting the test mode and specifying test settings

• connecting to the line

• running the tests

The ADSL/VDSL Bonding Option, order number ONX580-BONDED, is available for purchase.

For additional information about OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL options and services, contact
your local JDSU representative or contact JDSU through the company web site, www.jdsu.com.

Selecting the test mode

Before running any DSL tests, you must specify the test mode and specify test settings.

To select the test mode

1 From the main menu, select DSL.

2 Select the test mode.

– Single DSL (one pair)

– Bonded DSL (two pairs)

The Connection Details menu appears.

3 Specify test settings. See “Specifying test settings” on page 37.

CAUTION:

The modem has an exposed heat sink on the back of the instrument that must maintain unob­structed contact with ambient air. If the heat sink is blocked in any way it can become extremely
hot, and modem performance can suffer. It is recommended that the unit not be operated flat on
its back (heat sink down), in any DSL mode, for more than 15 minutes.

OneExpert DSL User’s Guide

36 22052280, Revision 001 April 2014

Specifying test settings

Before you begin testing, make sure the test settings on the OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL match
the settings of the line that you are testing.

• To access the setup screen, select the Setup & Tests system key.

Loading a test profile

If you have previously specified the settings and saved the test profile, you can load that profile so
you don’t have to specify all of the settings again.

To load a saved profile

1 Touch the Load button.

A list of Modem Settings profiles appears. (If no profiles have been saved, the list will be
empty.)

2 Select the profile to load.

The settings are loaded.

Specifying test settings

Specifying DSL settings

1 Touch the Modem Settings button.

2 Select DSL Interface and then specify whether to use the RJ45 connector or T/R/G (Tip/

Ring/Ground) as the DSL interface.

3 Select xDSL Technology, and then select VDSL, ADSL, or xDSL (Auto). The Auto setting

queries the DSLAM for the technology.

4 The Analog Technology is automatically set to xDSL over POTS.

5 Do one of the following:

– If you selected ADSL as the Technology, select Standard & Annex and then specify the

ADSL standard and annex (such as GLite AnnexA or ADSL2+ Annex M).

– If you selected VDSL as the Technology, specify the VDSL Profile (such as 8A or 12B).

6 If you selected either VDSL or Auto as the Technology, select VDSL Vectoring and specify

Full, Friendly, or Off.

Vectoring technology is used on VDSL2 connections to reduce FEXT from other pairs in a
binder group resulting in higher downstream and upstream rates for all the pairs in the group.
Vector mode is available for single-line VDSL circuits only (not available for bonded, not avail­able for ADSL2). Vector Friendly mode is suggested when there is a need to emulate CPE
incapable of full vectoring, but which have been designed to synchronize to a vectoring
DSLAM without losing sync. It is a special software that is downloaded to the VTU-R modem
enabling it to respond to a vectored request from a VTU-O to allocate net data rates across all
bearer channels and to minimize excess SNR per channel.

7 Select Transport Mode, and then specify ATM, PTM, or Auto. This specifies whether data is

transported over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or Packet Transfer Mode (PTM). The
Auto setting queries the DSLAM for the transport.

b Set the VC Count between 1 and 4.

c Specify the VC settings for each virtual channel (VC 1 through VC 4): VPI, VCI, and VC

Mode (Tx Rx or Rx only)

a Specify whether to use DSL Retransmission upstream or downstream. This setting is

only available in non-bonded mode. This specifies whether the unit will advertise
upstream or downstream G.INP support to the DSLAM. If the selection is changed, the
modem resyncs in order to apply the new setting.

NOTE:

Enabling DSL Retransmission (adding the check mark) only advertises support to the DSLAM. It
does not guarantee the connection will use DSL Retransmission (G.INP) because G.INP is
specified in the CO configuration.

b Specify whether to use PhyR (impulse noise protection technology) upstream or down-

stream.

c Specify whether to use SRA. Seamless Rate Adaptation changes the data rate while in

operation without any interruption to data service.

d Specify whether to perform Bitswapping.

e If you selected VDSL or Auto as the Technology, select V43 Tones and enable or disable

V43 tones. V43 tones are typically used during training, but your test requirements may
include disabling these tones, This selection is not available if in ADSL mode. If vectoring
is enabled, it is recommended that V43 tones are disabled.

f Select 24k Interlv Depth, and then select On or Off. Interleaving splits data packets into

a Select Network Type and then specify Through-Bridge or Terminate

The two modes include the same testing capabilities, but the difference is in the IP
addressing.

In Terminate mode, the OneExpert DSL replaces the modem and test interface.

In Through-Bridge mode, the OneExpert DSL replaces the modem, hub, and test inter­face. It does not use a DHCP server so it does not assign IP addresses to other equip­ment. The end equipment uses either the service provider-supplied IP address or one
that is on the same network (same netmask).

You can use the OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL to test the physical layer of the xDSL link. The
following procedure describes the basic test for the DSL link.

To perform a basic DSL link test

• Connect to the line and allow the unit to train on the line.

If the unit achieves sync, you have verified the physical layer.

Testing line quality

Once connected to the line, the OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL gathers statistics for the line.
These statistics are used to determine the line quality.

To test line quality

1 Connect to the line. See “Connecting to the line” on page 39.

The modem begins the training process automatically. When it reaches show time, the
OneExpert DSL begins gathering statistics.

Chapter 4 DSL Testing

report” on page 32.

For more information on the results, see “DSL Results” on page 79.

Terminating the loop (SELT)

Single End Loop Test (SELT) is used to test a copper loop when there is no equipment installed at
the far end. It is typically used for pre-qualification, that is, testing whether a loop is capable of
supporting DSL service. In some cases, SELT testing is aided by placing a termination at the far
end of the line. This test sets the VDSL modem to provide a line termination where the modem is
idle and not transmitting.

To run a SELT termination

About the SmartID tests

About the SmartID tests

The purpose of the SmartID tests are to test and map cables/wires, verify that the HPNA links and

devices are installed and fully provisioned, and to verify that the entire HPNA network is operating correctly

To access the wiring tools

• From the main menu, select Smart ID.

Locating SmartIDs

The purpose of this test is to identify up to 16 the SmartIDs on the network. The SmartIDs will work
through splitters, and multiple SmartIDs can be detected simultaneously.

To locate SmartIDs

1 Connect SmartIDs (Figure 10) to the coax at any location in the home where network qualifi-

cation or troubleshooting is desired, such as set top boxes or residential gateways (see

Figure 12 for examples).

Figure 10 SmartID

2 Connect the USB cable from OneExpert DSL to one of the SmartIDs.

3 On the SmartID menu, select Locate IDs.

If this is the first test with the Smart IDs, a warning message appears asking you to register
the SmartIDs.

Label Description

Unknown This label is used as a last resort when no other signatures can be identified.

Open Indicates an event that has high return loss.

– A home run cable with no passive devices should indicate an open at close to 0 dBrl
– A cable with a 2-way splitter may have two opens at close to -7 dBrl.
– A cable with a 3-way splitter may have two opens at -14 dBrl and one open at -7 dBrl

Splitter Indicates a passive splitter may be present at this length in the cable under test.

Low Quality Splitter Indicates a low quality splitter may be present at this length. Low quality splitters can induce

standing waves and cause poor performance. These low quality splitters can also cause con­ventional cable ID to function incorrectly since many are DC coupled causing the ID resistive
values to be placed in parallel.

Splitter * Indicates an assumed splitter. The instrument has not detected a splitter signature. However,

based on the data signature the instrument has deduced that a splitter is likely present.

NOTE: If the length to the splitter* and the first open are the same, it is likely a splitter with an
open port.

Barrel/Splice Indicates an event was detected followed by a single low loss open event. This can be caused

by barrel splices, Low Quality Splitter with an open port, severely kinked or crimped cable (Sta­bles), poor connector, etc….

The return loss of the Barrel/Splice event should be considered when determining what action,
if any, is required. Lower return loss (around -20 dBrl) values may not require action, but high
values indicate an event that may be effecting cable performance.

NOTE:

In the unlikely event that the legs of a splitter are the same length, the instrument will report a
single event with a return loss value that approximately equals the sum of the events.

Coax Map test

A cable ID is displayed above the system keys. The OneExpert DSL will only find an ID if it's
connected to a single cable with an ID on the other end. The RFIDs, however, will work
through splitters and multiple tags can be detected.

NOTE:

The cable ID won't work properly if there's a cable plugged into the side of the unit (must use
only the coax connector on the top).

For any given coax cable, the coax map test locates each item and presents the results in an
easy to read table. The table indicates the location of items in terms of a length in feet, from
the test instrument. The table also indicates the return loss at each item in dBrl.

If possible, the OneExpert DSL will also identify items such as opens, splitters, barrels, or
splices based on TDR measurements performed on the cable. In some cases, based on
reflection characteristics, the test set will indicate the presence of bad splitters. If unusual
cable characteristics are measured, the OneExpert DSL will indicate an “unknown” item in the
cable.

If the OneExpert DSL is used to measure a home-run cable, it will indicate an 0 dBrl open,
and the full length of the cable.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIP:

If the results table indicates four or more events, it may indicate a situation where a complex
cable topology is causing multiple reflections. In this case, measurement accuracy can be
improved by performing step by step sectionalization starting with the first item in the table.

Figure 11 shows several cable topologies on the left and the corresponding coax map table

on the right. The dBrl level at each splitter will be relatively low and depend on the quality of
the splitter. Lower return loss indicates a better splitter.

Chapter 7 Testing with SmartIDs

Whole Home Check

Whole Home Check

The SmartIDs allow the technician to connect the OneExpert DSL directly to any single SmartID
device which then communicates with any other connected SmartID devices (as shown in

Figure 12) in order to certify an in-home network and provide distances to found impairments.

Figure 12 SmartID connection

If a Diplexer is on the network, disconnect the VDSL connection.

The difference in the SmartIDs versus the other terminators is that the terminators only indicate their
location; whereas the SmartIDs each also are used to identify their location, but also each SmartID
does a broadband noise ingress measurement, dual-ended FDR for coax mapping and frequency
sweeping to locate impairments.

There are three test modes

• Locate SmartIDs – finds and identifies all SmartIDs currently connected to the network.

• Home Run Check – a two-point (two SmartIDs) test across the cable connecting at the resi­dential gateway and the diplexer locations.

• Whole Home Check – tests a complex cable network that may or may not include a Diplexer.
It is intended to qualify the network for HPNA.

Testing the home link

The Home Run Check tests the cable connecting the residential gateway to the diplexer (see

Figure 13) or, if there is no diplexer, to the set top box (STB).

Figure 13 Home Run Check

To run a Home Run Check

1 Connect a SmartID to the coax cable at the residential gateway location.

2 Connect the USB cable from OneExpert DSL to the SmartID at the RG.

3 Disconnect the cable that runs between the diplexer and the residential gateway, and then

connect a SmartID to the cable (this takes the diplexer out of the test).

4 Select the Mode system key and specify a VDSL Home Run.

The SmartID connected to the OneExpert DSL is highlighted. If any impairments were found,
an exclamation point will be shown on the cable, the header will be red, and the background
of one or more SmartIDs may be red. To view information for the cable segment or the other
SmartID, press the left or right arrow keys. The details appear in the box.

SmartID)

– Far-end connection issue (i.e. poor connection, fitting barrel, etc; partial short)

– SmartID(s) detected but not mapped issue

– SmartID mapping placement questionable (due to processed FDR data producing ambig-

uous length/location data for the particular SmartID probe)

– Excessive noise ingress measured

– Network Map obscured message warning for diplexer, filter, amplifier, etc.

– Test FAILs if there is filter(s) or amplifier(s) present in the network

Detecting load coils

The OneExpert DSL can detect up to five load coils that may exist on the line, out to 27,000 (8,200
meters) feet. It will also report a short, open, or a high noise condition, if detected. For accurate load
coil detection, test on a pair without voltage (supplied by a battery). Although the detector will work
with voltage on a pair, accuracy will be compromised. In addition, the detector works best when the
last coil is followed by 1200 feet (336 meters) of cable.

To detect load coils

1 Connect the Tip (A), Ring (B), and Ground (Earth) leads to the line under test.

2 From the Copper menu, touch Load Coil.

The Load Coil Detector menu appears.

The count appears in the box. If at least one load coil is detected, the distance to the first load
appears.

NOTE:

The distance to first load measurement assumes no other impairments are present between the
OneExpert DSL and the first load coil. If other impairments are present, accuracy is reduced.

If voltage greater than 50V peak is present, the test will abort.

If noise, a short, or an open is detected, it appears on this screen.

3 To save the results to a report, use the Tray menu (“Saving a report” on page 32).

In the saved test report, two additional statistics are included:

• Start Time is the time (time of day) when the DSL modem achieves Showtime. The Start time
is updated if you clear errors.

• Stop Time is the time (time of day) when the report is generated or DSL sync is lost.

DSL statistics

For bonded mode, the same results are shown, but the bonded results are separated into different
screens:

• Group - results for both pairs combined

• Pair 1 or Pair 2 - Same results as the non- screen, except the title.

RX Bytes Total bytes received

RX Frames Total frames received

RX Errors Total errors received

RX Dropped Total dropped frames received

TX Bytes Total bytes transmitted

TX Frames Total frames transmitted

TX Errors Total errors transmitted

TX Dropped Total dropped frames transmitted

TX Collisions Ethernet frames are transmitted “space-available” when there is a break on the sig-

nal on the cable; sometimes frames are transmitted at the same time as another
transmitter, causing a “collision” of frames.

Network Status

Ta bl e 1 0 describes the Network Status results.

Table 10 Network Status results

Result Description

Chapter 10 Test Results

DSL Results

Network Status Status of the connection. If

testing in Router mode, there are separate status

indications for WAN and LAN.

LAN x If using Multi-VLAN, reports the status of up to three LAN connections.

IP Address The OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL's IP address to the access the provider net-

work. (IPv4)

Global If using IPv6oE, this is the OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL's IP address to the

access the global network, beyond the router.

Local If using IPv6oE, this is the OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL's IP address to the

access the local network.

Subnet prefix If using IPv6oE, this is the length of the subnet prefix.

Netmask The OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL’s netmask address. IP devices use a netmask

IP address to determine if IP packets are to be routed to other networks or sub-net­works. (IPv4)

Gateway The OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL's gateway address. When an IP device has

determined that a packet is not addressed to it or devices on the same sub-network
(subnet), it sends all such packets to the gateway address for further routing to the
correct address.

DNS Domain Name Services. When using internet addresses such as www.jdsu.com,

the OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL (and all IP devices) must translate to an IP
address (such as 157.234.12.20) in order to route the packets or data. To do so, it
first requests a DNS server to translate an internet address into an IP address; then
the OneExpert DSL OneExpert DSL can correctly route IP pings or other data. The
DNS address must be that of a real DNS server, preferably in the provider network.

MAC Address The MAC address of the LAN.

Errors

Ta bl e 11 describes the DSL Errors.

DSL Graphs

The graphs provide a graphical representation of the following:

Chapter 10 Test Results

DSL Results

• SNR (signal to noise ratio) Per Tone

• Bits Per Tone (BPT)

• QLN (quiet line noise) Per Tone

• Hlog Per Tone

Troubleshooting using the graphs

The SNR graph indicates line quality. The BPT graph indicates the total bit rate and is a useful tool
for finding disturbers. Bits per tone is defined as bits assigned per DMT tone.

Examine the portions of the graphs where there are dips or breaks. These dips represent areas
where interference is degrading the DSL signal.

Ta bl e 1 5 lists common noise sources and the corresponding frequencies and tones.
