Model 3096RC G.SHDSL T-DAC overview
The Model 3096RC (see figure 2) provides 16 G.SHDSL subscriber ports and 4, 8, 12, or 16 T1/E1 WAN
uplink ports. A built-in digital cross-connect switch provides completely flexible grooming: the capability to
connect any DS0-channel to any other DS0-channel from the WAN uplink ports or the G.SHDSL ports. The
T-DAC combines a time-slot multiplexer and a centralized web-based management system on a front and rear
blade for insertion in a rack with a CPCI mid-plane architecture. The front blade contains LED status indicators, an RS-232 configuration port and a 10/100 Ethernet management port. The rear blade contains the
G.SHDSL modem connections and WAN port connections. The 16 G.SHDSL subscriber ports connect to
compatible customer premise equipment modems for data rates up to 4.6 Mbps service over a single pair. The
WAN links accept channelized T1 or E1 network connections.
Each G.SHDSL port requires only a single twisted pair (2-wires) for full-duplex data transmission at ranges in
excess of 9 km (24 AWG). TC-PAM line encoding ensures spectral compatibility within existing voice/data
bundles. Each WAN port terminates T1/E1 with flexible any-to-any DS0 mapping. The entire system can be
managed in-band (via T1/E1 Frame Relay/PPP links) or out-of-band from a web browser by means of
SNMP/HTTP-based management screens.
The Model 3096RC connects 16 G.SHDSL remote NTUs or modems at data-rates up to 4.6 Mbps to digital
(ATM/FR/DDN/IP) networks, thus permitting multi-service access to CLECs, ISPs, and PTTs.

• 10Base-T half-/full-duplex operation (10 + 10)
• Auto detection and fallback
• 10/100 Mbps link and status indicators
RS-232 control port
The RS-232 port provides for initial configuration of the Model 3096RC. The RS-232 port supports:
• Asynchronous data rates of 19.2 kbps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
• An RJ-45 connector with EIA-561 pinouts
• A management interface that supports VT-100 terminals
• Hardware flow control (RTS and CTS)
Power system
The 3096RC obtains power from the CPCI chassis via PCMG 2.11 47-pin power connectors on the front and
rear blade. Total power consumption is a maximum of 43 Watts, provided by modular power supplies installed
in the CPCI chassis.
Central processing unit
The 3096RC employs an Intel i960VH RISC processor operating at 100 MHz/100 Mips. The CPU controls
the memory, front/back-panel and management interface for G.SHDSL port/WAN time slot mapping, local
switching, loopback and the management system. The memory holds:
• 4 MB Flash ROM
• 8 MB EDO DRAM
G.SHDSL ports
The 16 G.SHDSL ports operate at data-rates up to 4.6 Mbps and are accessible via the RJ-21X 50-pin Telco
connector. Each port uses one twisted-pair (2-wires) for full-duplex communication. The G.SHDSL ports can
be concentrated into TDM data output on the WAN ports. Other features include:
• Line encoding defined by G.SHDSL
• “Plug-and-Play” automatic configuration between the multiplexer and the CPE modems
• Built-in surge protection
• Configuration parameters and line status indicators accessible to upper-level utility or application software
System timing
The G.SHDSL T-DAC's system timing may be derived from an internal clock from an on-board chip, a CPE
G.SHDSL modem, a network clock from one of the T1/E1 WAN ports, or an external 64-kHz BITS (building
integrated timing supply) reference clock.

Connecting to the T1/E1 WAN ports
An active T1/E1 is not necessary to configure the T-DAC. However, an active T1/E1 connection is required when
mapping G.SHDSL modems to specific time slots in the T1/E1 ports or even for mapping WAN time slots to
other WAN time slots. The factory-set default configuration of the Model 3096RC has the T1/E1 ports disabled.
Note The cable connecting the T1/E1 WAN ports to the RJ-48C termina-
tion jack should be CAT-3 or higher and extend no farther than
1 mile (1.6 km) from the digital services termination.

From the Home page, the following actions can be performed:
• Record Current Configuration—clicking on this button (see figure 23) saves the current configuration
from volatile DRAM memory to FLASH memory. Once the configuration is saved into FLASH memory,
the configuration will not be lost even if the power is cycled on the 3096RC. Initially, changes made to the
3096RC configuration are stored in volatile DRAM, enabling the user to set the box up with a working
Using a browser to complete Model 3096RC configuration 43

Model 3096RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 3 • Configuring the T-DAC for operation
configuration before committing it to storage in FLASH. When you select Record Current Configuration,
the 3096RC stores your changes to FLASH memory.
Note If you want to save the configuration changes that you have made,
you must click on
Record Current Configuration, otherwise all con-
figuration changes will be lost if the power to the Model 3096RC is
turned off.
• Hard Reset—this button (see figure 23) causes the Model 3096RC to perform a cold restart. When you
select Hard Reset, the T-DAC confirms that you want to execute this command. Then, the T-DAC will disconnect all current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.
• Set Factory Default Configuration—this button (see figure 23) clears out the configuration in FLASH and
loads the factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not execute on
the Model 3096RC until it is re-booted by doing a Hard Reset.
Note Set Factory Default Configuration (figure 23) will delete any routing
information, the Model 3096RC’s Ethernet IP address, and any other
site-specific settings made for your particular installation. You will
have to re-enter the Model 3096RC’s Ethernet IP address and netmask using the rear panel control port before using the
HTTP/HTML Management pages.
Configuring the default gateway
The default gateway IP address, if defined, is used solely for managing the 3096RC remotely via the Ethernet
port. The 3096RC does not transmit or receive user data nor any other traffic via the default gateway IP
address or the Ethernet port.
Do the following to add the default gateway:
1. On the 3096RC Configuration Menu, click the IP hyperlink to open the IP Configuration page.
Using a browser to complete Model 3096RC configuration 44

no mask to enter.
9. Enter the IP address in the Gateway box. This is the default gateway.
10. Click on the
Add Route button.
Configuring the system clocking parameters
In this section you will define clocking sources for the main reference and fallback reference on the 3096RC
TDAC. Clocking source selection will depend on the clocking role you assign to the blade: master(1), second-
ary(2), or slave(3). The master will drive the main reference clock for the chassis. Should the master fail, the
secondary will drive the main reference. Slaves will not drive any clock reference. Most often the 3096RC will
be configured as slave(3), with another blade (such as the Patton Model 6511) configured as the master(1).
As clocking sources for the 3096RC, you can choose:
• Any one of the WAN ports
• An internal oscillator
• A WAN port from another blade module
• An external 64-kHz BITS (building integrated timing supply) reference clock
Note For the external BITS clock setting to operate, you must connect the
BITS clock system at the installation site to the EXT CLOCK connector on one of the WAN access modules installed in the rear of the
ForeFront chassis.
Unless it fails or becomes disconnected, the main reference provides the system clock for the 3096RC. Should
this failure occur, the fallback reference will be the clocking source for the 3096RC’s system clock.
Example 1
Your 3096RC is the only blade in the chassis and must be configured as the system clocking master. This example
assumes you will use WAN port #1 as the main reference
and WAN port #2 as the fallback reference. To define
the clocking source, do the following:

Configuring the DS0 mapping
You need to make internal connections between an G.SHDSL modem link and its destination. The destination of an G.SHDSL modem may be at the end of a T1 or E1 link, or another G.SHDSL port. Each
G.SHDSL modem inside the 3096RC T-DAC is configured by selecting the number of DS0 time slots, each
time slot being 64 kbps. You may choose to map from 1 to 31 DS0 time slots in the G.SHDSL modem. The
most common destination for the G.SHDSL modems will be at the remote end of a T1/E1 WAN link.
The G.SHDSL ports connect at speeds up to 4.6 Mbps (72 DS0s). A maximum of 31 DS0s can be mapped to
an E1 port, while a maximum of 24 DS0s can be mapped to a T1 port. When configuring DS0 maps, the following conditions may be encountered:
• Several DSL ports running at low speeds (128 kbps, 256 kbps, etc.) for uplink on a single E1 or T1 line. In
this case, create a DS0 map from each port to the selected T1/E1 port. Make sure assigned DS0s in the
T1/E1 port are unique for each DSL port.
• DSL ports running at T1 or E1 speeds. In this case DS0s are mapped on a one to one correspondence to
T1/E1 uplink ports.
• DSL port speed beyond T1/E1 link speed. Split and map DS0s onto two or more T1/E1 ports.
The DS0 Mapping window (Digital Cross Connect Configuration) provides full DS0 grooming and supports
three variations. You may define connections between (1) a G.SHDSL modem and a WAN port, (2) two
G.SHDSL modems, or (3) two WAN time slots. When no mapping is defined, the G.SHDSL modems (nor
the WAN ports) have no destination. The T-DAC functions as a 2-dimensional matrix switch.
To define the DS0 Mapping for the G.SHDSL modems, do the following:
1. On the Configuration Menu click DS0 Mapping hyperlink.
2. In the DACS Display Type drop-down menu (figure 28), select displayLongForm(0).
Figure 28. DS0 Mapping Configuration window
Using a browser to complete Model 3096RC configuration 48
Page 49
Model 3096RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 3 • Configuring the T-DAC for operation
Figure 29. DS0 Mapping Configuration page
To define each DS0 Mapping you will create a static connection. “A” and “B” designate the two ends of the
static connection. For each static connection you will define the following parameters:
Device Type. Specifies the physical interface type for the connection. You may select either t1-
e1(1) for a T1/E1 WAN line or gsdsl(4)for a G.SHDSL modem.
Device Number: Defines which WAN or G.SHDSL port number on the 3096RC you are map-
ping. For example, to map a connection for G.SHDSL port 3 (i.e. G.SHDSL
modem #3) you would select port3(3)
Device Slots. Defines which DS0 channels will be mapped. Each DS0 channel is 64 kbps.
Each G.SHDSL port has 72 DS0 channels for data. Each T1 WAN port has 24
DS0 channels. Each E1 WAN port has 31 DS0 channels. When defining time
slots you must select the same number of Device Slots on the “A” and “B” sides
of the connection. The slots are defined by entering a text string that represents
the slots. For the G.SHDSL ports, the slots that are available are 1 - 32. For a
WAN port configured as a T1, the available slots are numbered from 1 - 24. For
a WAN port configured as an E1, the available slots are 1 - 31.
Note A special case occurs when a CPE such as the 3086 delivers user data
at 64 kbps or 128 kbps. At this speed, the DSL line rate is 192kbps
(3 DS0s). If for instance, the 3086 transports 64 kbps of Ethernet
and 64 kbps of serial data, then the remaining 64 kbps time slot carries no data. The lower timeslot carries Ethernet data (TS1), while
serial data is transported in TS2. TS3 carries no user data.
The following notation should be used for assigning timeslots.
– dash: (-), e.g., 1 – 4
– comma: (,), e.g., 1,4,9
– combo: 1-2,3,6-7

Note If the T-DAC does not behave as described, the most likely cause is
that the T-DAC default settings are not compatible with the T1/E1
line. If this is the case, use the RS-232 CONFIG port to correct the
T-DAC settings. You will have to use the 3096RC Configuration
Menu pages to examine the configured T1/E1 link settings.
6. There are two LEDs that indicate the status of the T-DAC 10/100 Ethernet port: a green LED indicates
link status and activity, and a yellow LED that indicates line speed. Verify that the green LED is either
flashing green (meaning that packets are being received at the Ethernet port) or solid green (meaning that
the link is valid but no packets are being received).
Congratulations! Your T-DAC is now installed. If you require further information about configuring your TDAC settings, refer to the DSL T-DAC Administrator’s Reference Guide included on your Model 3096RC

Basic G.SHDSL and T1/E1 test modes
Model 3096RC T-DACS offer a variety of test modes for individual G.HSDSL and T1/E1 ports that are of outstanding value when initially installing or troubleshooting connections on the G.SHDSL or T1/E1 side.
G.SHDSL port test modes
Diagnostics loops for the 3096RC G.SHDSL ports include:
• Local loop
• Remote serial
• Remote Ethernet
• Line loop
Local loop
This loop tests the operation of the selected DSL port. Data transmitted to the port is looped at the DSL port.
For example, as shown in figure 55, if DSL port 1 is mapped to T1/E1 port 1, data arriving at the T1/E1 port
and passed by the DACS to DSL port 1, is looped and sent back to T1/E1 port 1.
