Model 3088A/I User Manual 2 • Configuration
Introduction
You can configure the OnSite using the software configuration via the command line interface (CLI), or
through the hardware configuration via DIP switches.
Software (CLI) configuration
To use the software configuration, you must set the S4 (Rate) DIP switches to the OFF position before power-
ing up the OnSite. When it is set for software-configuration mode, the OnSite will read any configuration data
previously saved to FLASH memory during system power-up. If no configuration data was previously saved to
FLASH, then the OnSite will load the factory-default configuration from FLASH memory. After power-up,
you may use console commands or the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) to modify the configuration
parameters.
Hardware (DIP-switch) configuration
To use DIP-switch configuration you must first set the DIP switches to a position other than all OFF or all ON
before powering-up the OnSite. When all the DIP switches are set to any position other than all OFF or all ON
the OnSite will operate in hardware (DIP-switch)-configuration mode. In DIP-switch-configuration mode the
OnSite will read the DIP-switch settings during system startup and configure itself according to the switch settings. Once you power-up the OnSite in DIP-switch mode, it will operate in DIP-switch mode until powered
down. When operating in DIP-switch mode you cannot change any configuration settings:
• Changing the DIP switch settings while the device is running requires the dsl start command.
• If you attempt to modify the configuration by issuing console commands, the device will not execute your
commands- except for the dsl start command and the show commands. Instead, the OnSite will respond
with a message indicating the device is operating in DIP-switch-configuration mode.
• If you attempt to modify any configuration parameters via the EOC (by changing (EOC variables), the
OnSite will not execute your changes.

Configuring the DIP switches
The Model 3088A/I is equipped with three sets of DIP switches, which you can use to configure the OnSite for a
broad range of applications. This section describes switch locations and discusses the configuration options available.
Note
By default, the OnSite’s DIP switches are all set to “OFF” so the CPE can be
configured via OnSite Plug ‘n’ Play from a 3296RC. If that is how you will
be configuring the CPE, skip ahead to section “Ethernet Management Port”
on page 23. Otherwise, read the following sections to manually configure the
DIP switch settings.
The three sets of DIP switches are externally accessible from the underside of the Model 3088A/I (see figure 3).

To enter system reset mode, turn the S1-1 DIP switch to the ON position and power cycle the
unit. For information on how to upgrade the software, refer to Chapter 6, “Software Upgrade”
on page 39. For more information on applying factory default configuration to the 3088A/I,
refer to Chapter 7, “Reset configuration to factory defaults” on page 41.
OFF
DIP switch settings
You can configure the 3088A/I by setting the DIP switches to the desired positions before you
power up the OnSite. If the DIP switches are set to anything other than all OFF or all ON, the OnSite will
operate in DIP switch configuration mode. Once the device is powered up and operating in DIP switch configuration mode, you cannot change configuration by any method until you power it down again.

The 3088A/I offers a 10/100 Ethernet port for configuration and management via Telnet sessions. Because the
Ethernet port is configured as MDI, a crossover Ethernet cable is required when connecting directly from a
local PC or laptop. The Ethernet interface default IP address is 192.168.200.1.
Through the Ethernet management port, the following variables can be configured or monitored:
• Password: The password used to login to the console (1-10 characters).
• Circuit ID: The circuit ID communicated to other units via EOC (1-64 characters). EOC (Embedded
Operations Channel) is an out-of-band channel specified in the G.991.2 standard for SHDSL. We use standard EOC messages for our remote loopback. The 3088A/I also supports proprietary EOC messages that
allow a 3296RC to configure it.
• Data Rate: The DSL data rate is set by specifying the number of 64k timeslots.
• Annex: Either G.991.2 Annex A or Annex B.
The following status information is available through the command line interface:
• Configuration Mode: Whether the 3088A/I is configured by DIP switches or software.
• DSL Link State: In Progress, Success, Deactivated, or Idle.
• DSL Sync State: Out of Sync, Acquiring Sync, In Sync, or Losing Sync.
Note
DSL Link State vs. DSL Sync State—The DSL link state describes whether
the DSL is training (in progress), linked (success), deactivated (we don’t have
an option to deactivate the modem, so the user should not see this), or idle.
The DSL sync state describes whether no sync words have been found (out
of sync), there are no sync word errors (in sync), or whether we are transitioning from out of sync to in sync (acquiring sync) or vice versa (losing
sync). Typically, when the link is training, the sync state goes from out of
sync to acquiring sync to in sync.
• DSL Actual Rate: The actual rate at which the DSL link is running (minus DSL overhead).
• DSL Line Condition: Good or Poor.
• Noise Margin Ratio: the maximum tolerable increase in external noise power that still allows for BER of
7
less than 1x 10–
.
• DSL Error Counters: The following error counters are available:
- CRC
- LOSW (Loss of Sync Word)

OnSite Plug ‘n’ Play
The OnSite Plug ‘n’ Play feature allows ISPs, carriers and PTTs to quickly upgrade the link speed for a customer without requiring a visit to re-configure the Customer Premise (CP) Model 3088A/I. This feature also
allows service providers to set up all of the configurations at the Central Office (via the ForeFront AIS system)
before installing the stand alone units, saving time spent configuring or re-configuring DIP switches.
Note
OnSite Plug ’n’ Play is only available when using a ForeFront Model
3296RC . Since the 3296RC is CO, the OnSite must be CP, which is the
default.
The OnSite Plug ‘n’ Play feature allows the user to configure the CP unit via the ForeFront Model 3296RC at
the Central Office (CO). The stand alone unit at the Customer Premise (CP) site will automatically configure

Connecting the DSL interface
The Model 3088A/I supports communication between two DTE devices as follows:
Using 24 AWG (0.5 mm) wire up to:
• 18,000 feet (5.48 km) at 192 kbps
• 11,000 feet (3.5 km) at 5696 kbps
Two things are essential:
1. These units work in pairs. Both units at the end of the twisted pair DSL span must be set for the same
DTE rate—one unit set as CO, the other as CP.
2. To function properly, the Model 3088A/I needs one twisted pair of metallic wire. This twisted pair must
be unconditioned, dry, metallic wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm) (the higher number
gauges will limit distance). Standard dial-up telephone circuits, or leased circuits that run through signal
equalization equipment, or standard, flat modular telephone type cable, are not acceptable.
The RJ-45 DSL connector on the Model 3088A/I’s twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for
a two-wire interface.

Loopbacks
The 3088A/I supports both Local Analog Loopbacks (LAL) and Remote Digital Loopbacks (RDL). These can
be initiated by the console command dsl set loopback <off|lal|rdl>. The data path for the LAL is shown in
figure 9.

Model 3088A/I User Manual 4 • Operation
Patterns
The 3088A/I can generate and detect 511 patterns. These can be initiated either by the middle DIP switch or
by the console command dsl set pattern <off|511|511e>. When the pattern is started, the DSL framer uses its
internal 511 pattern generator for its DSL TX data instead of the data received from the serial interface. Also,
the framer’s internal BER Meter tries to detect a 511 pattern in the DSL RX Data.
Because the BER Meter always runs when the pattern generator runs, the meter will detect errors if either the
pattern is not either looped back or the remote unit is not transmitting a 511 pattern.

Model 3088A/I User Manual 5 • Remote console operation
Introduction
The PC user (near-end) may configure and verify status of the remote 3088A/I (far-end) via a Remote Console
session. The PC user must log onto the 3088A/I (near-end) unit to establish a remote console session. Once
done, the remote 3088A/I (far-end) appears as a unit which is locally connected through the console port. All
commands are transmitted over the G.SHDSL link in the EOC channel.

Establishing a Remote Console Session
How to Connect
The following steps are to establish a connection to the remote 3088A/I (far-end) via Remote Console Session
(RCS):
3088A
(Far End)
1. Connect to the console port of the 3088A/I (near-end) via Telnet session.
2. At the password prompt, log in to the near-end Model 3088A/I.
3. Ensure that a DSL link is established. You can verify an established DSL link by using the system show sta-
tus command or by checking that the DSL LED is solid green. Upon executing the show status command, the dsl link state is shown as success if the DSL link is established.
4. At the command prompt, enter the command remote console.
5. Wait for the message Console: Remote console connection established.
– If a DSL link is not established, or for some other reason the 3088A/I (far-end) does not respond in a
reasonable amount of time, the following message appears: Console: Remote console timed out trying to connect. Enter the command remote console again.
– If 3088A/I (Far End) already has an active remote console session open, you will see the message Con-
sole: Remote console connection request rejected. This can also happen if the remote 3088A/I (far-end) has
an established remote console session with the local 3088A/I (near-end) which has timed out.
6. Enter the password at the password prompt for the remote console session.
Note
The passwords for a local console session of the 3088A/I (near-end) and the
remote console session of the 3088A/I (far-end) should be different for the
purpose of security.
7. You should now be logged into the remote 3088A/I (far-end) via the remote console session. The commu-
nication with the remote 3088A/I (far-end) is essentially the same as having a local console connection.
Introduction36
Model 3088A/I User Manual 5 • Remote console operation
Note
The local or remote 3088A/I may be CO or CPE, as long as there is one of
each. Either the CO or CPE unit may accept a remote console connection.
Note
With a remote console session open, a user at PC (far-end) is blocked from
using the local console. Upon typing anything, the 3088A/I (far-end) sends a
message to the PC (far-end) stating Console: Remote console connection is open.
Figure 12 is a screenshot of opening a typical remote console session:
Log in to 3088 (Near End)

We can now enter commands on
the remote console
Figure 12. Opening a typical remote console session
How to Disconnect
The remote console session ends under any of the following conditions:
• The user enters the command logout
• A timeout period of 5 minutes elapses since the user has entered a command to the console.
• The DSL link drops.
Introduction37
Model 3088A/I User Manual 5 • Remote console operation
The response upon logging out of the remote console session with the command logout is Console: Remote console connection lost. The following is what is displayed upon a user’s logging out of a remote console session after
The timeout period is a fixed, non-configurable parameter of 5 minutes. If the remote 3088A/I (far-end) has
received no command within 5 minutes, it automatically terminates the RCS. Once the RCS is terminated, the
PC (far-end) can establish a local console session if desired. However if the PC (near-end) wishes to re-establish
a RCS, it is able to do so whether or not the PC (far-end) is in an active local session, because the RCS has priority over a local console session. If the PC (near-end) establishes an RCS while the PC (far-end) is on a local
session, the PC (far-end) is kicked off.
Differences in Local and Remote Control Session Behavior
Since the remote console session communication occurs over the G.SHDSL link’s EOC channel, some commands via the RCS have unusual effects.

into Local Analog Loopback (LAL), the near-end and far-end 3088A/I NTUs can no longer communicate
over the RCS.
Do not issue this command to a far-end unit. If you were to do
so, the near-end 3088A/I would no longer be able to communicate with the far-end 3088A/I.
The software upgrade feature is available through BOOTP/TFTP. The software upgrade takes approximately
2-3 minutes to complete. To upgrade the software:
1. Connect to the Model 3088A/I via the Ethernet management port and a Telnet session.
2. Enter the system show info command to view the unit’s MAC address.
3. Configure a BOOTP/TFTP server and enter the system upgrade / yes command to begin the upgrade.
4. Alternatively, you may enter the system upgrade <TFTP server IP address>:/<filename> command to
begin the upgrade.
After approximately 2-3 minutes, the 3088A/I will operate with the upgraded software.
