This document is intended for First Office Acceptance test plan for NetComm’s ADSL2+
Broadband Access Switch solution (BAS). The Netcomm NCT240 Broadba nd Access Switch
contains 24 ADSL2/2+ circuits to deliver high-speed data, video and voice service over
traditional twisted copper pairs by using DSL technology.
To meet the increasing demand for high-speed internet access and triple play application
services. The next generation network offers a feasible functionality of integrated services
with the most cost effective architecture. Next generation broadband access networks are
designed to provide rich video contents, DSL , POTS and VoIP services over traditional copper
wire infrastructure. These types of services will be supported on NGN architecture
simultaneously. DSL is used as the data service platform for traditional POTS technology
which is used for voice services. The multimedia and local content-rich appl ication s can als o
be easily implemented on this NGN architecture.
xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for delivering high-bandwidth information over
copper telephone lines. xDSL service can deliver POTS and high date rate services
simultaneously over a single twisted-wire pair. The POTS and data service are simultaneous
and independent; the xDSL data service does not affect the POTS service. xDSL uses the
bandwidth above the 4-kHz POTS frequency to transmit duplex data using digital modulation
techniques from the C.O side to the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).
ADSL is a form of xDSL service that delivers an asymmetric data rate over a twisted copper
pair. ADSL delivers a h igher rate downstream, towards the cust omer premises and lower rate
upstream, from the customer premises. ITU standard compliant Full-Rate ADSL2+ can deliver
data rates up to 25 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream; Full-Rate ADSL can deliver data
rates up to 8 Mbps downstream and 800 kbps upstream; G.Lite ADSL can deliver up to 1.5
Mbps downstream and 512 kbps upstream. The actual data rate depends on the length, gauge,
and condition of the twisted-wire pair, the bandwidth of the uplink depends on the data
network, and the capacity of the network service provider.
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) dominates broadband market. The position of national telecom
operators in most countries has given the advantage in reaching out to customers with
broadband services over DSL.
NetComm NCT240 Management Guide Release 1.0
The NCT240 Access system contains 24 ADSL2/2+ circuits to deliver high-speed data service
over twisted copper pairs using industry standard Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) line coding
technology. The NCT240 complies with full-rate ADSL in accordance with ANSI T1.413 Issue 2,
ITU-T G.992.1 (G.dmt), ITU-T G.992.2 (G.lite)ITU-T G.992.3 (ADSL2) and ITU G.992.5
(G.ADSL2+) protocols.
The NCT240 greatly expand broadband capabilities in the access network, enhancing the
infrastructure for emerging services. With simple in-service upgrades, service providers
obtain the capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) to support larger populations of narrowband
and broadband users. For management, NCT240 can be easily configured by SNMP, Telnet,
SSH, HTTP, HTTPS and RS-232 console.
The NetComm NCT240 comes with the following default settings for all of the ADSL ports and
it is ready to use as a basic DSLAM out of the box.

3. Configuring NCT240 by CLI Interface
To use “windows hyper terminal” to get into CLI interface, a configuration need to be
set as the method below:
Select the comport the device is connected to - (if you are using a computer with a
built in com-port the port number will be COM1 or COM2 but if you are using a
RS232 to USB converter the number of com-port can be any other number )
Set the port settings as shown in the image below
NetComm NCT240 Management Guide Release 1.0
After completing the initial setup,
GOTO –
File > Properties > settings
And do the settings according to the window below.
Log in Process
When connected to the CLI please use the username/password – admin/admin;
BAS login: admin
Password: admin

This chapter introduces the command line interface and lists the available
commands.
It is divided into 7 topics:
1. System:- Deal with system configuration and maintenance.
2. ADSL:- Introducing and configuring ADSL parameters.
3. Status :- Display the system status
4. Switch:- Deal with Switch functions, such as activates and configures IGMP,
RSTP and other protocol parameters. (NOTE: some of the functions describe in
this topic is still under development).
5. IP:- Deal with IP (Internet Protocol) param eters configuration.
6. Statistics:- Deal with Error performance and statistic counters.
7. Config:- Deal with system parameters and display settings.
After login, help command can be accessed at any time. Help command can be
accessed by typing “help” or a “h”. Help command lists all the available commands
that are accessible to the user. The following is a screenshot of the system.

Figure 1: Help menu under root directory
Figure 1 showed all the commands under root directory. User can access different
directory by typing the corresponding directory name. For example, to enter system
directory, just type “system” or simply “sys”. To return to parent directory, just type
“exit”. To end CLI session, type “end” under root directory.
NetComm NCT240 Management Guide Release 1.0
Command format
Some commands required parameter(s). The number of parameter required is different
for each command. To know each command’s parameters, just type the command
name. For example, to know the command format for XXX, you can type XXX; the
screen will show something like this:
XXX <aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd> <eee|fff> [ggg]
Each set of “<>” bracket represent a parameter and the possible options are enclosed
within the bracket, separated by “|”. The option enclosed in the square bracket “[ ]”
means this parameter is optional. In this example, we can see that command XXX has
three parameters. There are 4 possible options for 1st parameter, namely aaa, bbb, ccc
and ddd, and two possible option for 2nd parameter, namely eee and fff, and an
optional 3rd parameter. For the command to be executed, you can either type:
XXX aaa eee ggg
or
XXX aaa eee
Both of them are valid input, since this command takes two OR three parameters.

ADSL:
This chapter explains how to configure NCT240 system’s ADSL ports. It also
covers how to configure virtual channels and virtual channel profiles.
A profile is a table that contains a list of pre-configured ADSL settings. Each
ADSL port has one profile assigned to it. The profile defines the latency mode and
upstream/downstream latency delay maximum and minimum upstream/downstream
rates, the target upstream/downstream signal noise margins, and the maximum and
minimum upstream/downstream acceptable noise margins of all the ADSL ports that
have this profile. You can configure multiple profiles, including profiles for
troubleshooting.

4. Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting guide
Trouble
PWR indicator
does not light up
after power on.
SYS indicator does
not light up after
startup.
ADSL2+ LINK
indicator does not
light up after
making a
connection.
Possible cause
Power outlet, power
cord, or internal power
supply may be defective.
Microprocessor,
SDRAM, Flash or
Software may be
defective.
NCT240 Switch, cabling,
ADSL Line, or ADSL
Switch Ports may be
defective.
Solution
• Check the power outlet by plugging
in another device that is functioning
properly.
• Check the power cord with another
device.
• Verify that the switch is powered on.
• Check the boot-up statement from
console. The boot up procedure is
Boot -> kernel->application
•
• Verify that the Access Switch and
attached CPE are powered on.
• Be sure the RJ-21 cables are plugged
into the Access Switch from
ADSL2+ modem through the
Phone-line punch-down block.
UP LINK indicator
does not light up
after making a
connection.
Network cable or
Ethernet device attached
to this port may be
defective.
• Verify that the cable length does not
exceed specified limits.
• Check the cable connections on the
access Switch, punch-down
block/patch panel, and the Extended
Ethernet CPE for possible defects.
Replace the defective cable if
necessary.
• Verify that the access switch and
attached device are powered on.
• Be sure an Ethernet cable is plugged
into both the switch and attached
device.
• Verify that the proper cable type is
used and its length does not exceed
specified limits.
• Check the network cable connections
for possible defects. Replace the
defective cable if necessary.

Virtual LAN (VLAN)
NetComm NCT240 Management Guide Release 1.0
A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain
regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. A VLAN
serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers, allowing users to share
