DSL configuration
By going to the Configuration hyperlink in the Configuration Menu, you can configure the DSL link to specific parameters if the 3088/I is not used in the Plug ‘n’ Play mode. They are listed as follows.
Note After changing the parameters in the DSL Configuration section of the web
page, they take immediate effect upon clicking the Configure button.
Figure 8. DSL Configuration

DSL Parameters

Circuit ID: The circuit ID communicated to other units via EOC. 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 3088/I also supports proprietary EOC messages that allow a 3096RC to configure it.
Intended DSL Data Rate: This selects the desired DSL data rate.
Actual DSL Data Rate (kbps): The actual current data rate that the DSL link is operating, minus the DSL
overhead (8 kbps).
Annex Type: Either G.991.2 Annex A or Annex B.
Device Type: The two options are Remote (default) or Central. When configuring two units back-to-back,
one must be remote, the other central.
Line Probe: The line probe may disabled (default) or enabled for rate adaptive applications.
Action: To initiate the DSL link, select Start and click on the Configure button. To take the DSL link
down, select Deactivate and click on the Configure button.

DSL Error Monitor Configuration
The DSL Error Monitor provides various statistics for the DSL line. The monitor parameters are configured here. The error counters are also cleared from this menu.
Figure 9. DSL Error Monitor Configuration
The following shows the relationship of the DSL Error Monitor parameters:
Startup Delay Interval #1 Interval #2
Start Up Delay Interval Time (sec) Interval Time (sec) Interval Time (sec) Interval Time (sec)
Interval #Total
Intervals
The DSL error monitor inspects intervals to see if they have met the error threshold (Max Interval Errors). If the error monitor finds a certain number (Interval Count) of intervals that meet or exceed the error threshold, it will restart the DSL link. The error monitor will wait (Start Up Delay) seconds after the DSL link comes up before it begins monitoring errors. After the startup delay, it will check the number of errors that have occurred during each (Interval Time) seconds to see if they meet the error threshold. The error monitor inspects (Total Intervals) intervals before it stops.
Note Setting Max Interval Errors to 0 disables the error monitor and setting
Total Intervals to 0 causes the error monitor to run continuously.
The following commands configure the error monitor:
Error Monitor Max Interval Errors: Sets the number of errors allowed in an interval causes it to be consid-
ered an errored interval. If this is set to 0, then the error monitor is disabled.
Error Monitor Interval Time (sec): Sets the length of each interval.
Error Monitor Interval Count: Sets the number of errored intervals that causes the DSL link to restart.
Error Monitor Total Intervals: Sets the number of intervals to inspect for errors before disabling the error
monitor. If this is set to 0, then the error monitor will run continuously.
Error Monitor Start Up Delay: Sets the number of seconds to wait after the DSL link comes up before the
error monitor starts inspecting intervals.

G.SHDSL Status

Selecting the Status hyperlink on the Configuration Menu provides the web page containing the G.SHDSL sta- tus and the Bridged PPP link status. The G.SHDSL Status is divided into three groups, Run-Time Statistics, DSL Line Error Counters, and Local Interface Error Counters.

Run-Time Statistics

The Run-Time Statistics provide the state and relative health of the DSL link. The statistical parameters are described.
Figure 10. DSL Run-time Statistics
G.SHDSL State: The link may be in one of these states, Deactivated, In Progress, or Normal Operation.
Connected: If there is a valid physical DSL link, the field is TRUE. If not, it displays FALSE.
Loss Of Signal: Indicates Signal Loss or Signal Found.
Loss of Sync: Indicates whether the Sync Word is synchronized.
DLS Sync State: The sync state of the DSL link may be Out of Sync, In Sync, Acquiring Sync, or Loss of Sync.
Noise Margin (dB): The maximum tolerable increase in external noise power that still allows for BER of

whether the DSL is training (in progress), linked (success), deactivated, or idle.
The DSL Sync State describes whether no sync words have been found (out of sync), whether 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.
G.SHDSL Status 25
3088/I Getting Started Guide 3 • G.SHDSL config and status

DSL Line Error Counters

Five counters display how many Loss of Sync’s have occurred, CRC Errors, SEGD Errors, SEGA Errors, and Loss of Delineation. Loss of Sync and CRC Errors are the most commonly used statistics in normal
performance evaluation.
Figure 11. DSL line error counters
Loss of Sync: The number of times that synchronization has been lost since the error counters have
been cleared.
CRC Errors: Shows the number of CRC errors that have occurred since either startup or the last time that
error counters were cleared.
SEGD Errors: The number of SEGD errors in the DSL link.
SEGA Errors: The number of SEGA errors in the DSL link.
Loss of Delineation: The number of time that delineation has been lost.

Installation

Once the Model 3088/I is properly configured, it is ready to connect to the twisted pair interface. This section tells you how to make the connection.

Connecting the twisted-pair interface

The Model 3088/I supports communication between two DTE devices as follows over 2-wire single twisted­pair (TP).
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt­age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
CAUTION
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 3088/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.
mechanical serviceability.
The RJ-11 connector on the Model 3088/I’s twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two­wire interface. The signal/pin relationships are shown in Appendix D on page 56.

Operation

Once the Model 3088/I is properly configured and installed, it should operate transparently. This section describes information for powering the 3088/I, reading the LED status indicators, and using the built-in loop­back test modes.

Power-up

(Also refer to “Power up the NTU” on page 17.)
Ensure that the power cable used with the external power adapter meets all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed, and that it is
WARNING
The Model 3088/I uses a 5 VDC, 2A universal input 100–240 VAC, power supply (center pin is +5V). The universal input power supply has a male IEC-320 power entry connector. This power supply connects to the Model 3088/I by means of a barrel jack on the rear panel. Many international power cords are available for the universal power supply (Please refer to Appendix C on page 54 for country-specific power cords.

RocketLink-G Plug ‘n’ Play

The RocketLink-G 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 3088/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 at the customer site. This saves time doing on-site configuration.
Note RocketLink-G Plug ‘n’ Play is only available when using a ForeFront Model
3096RC as the CO unit.
The RocketLink-G Plug ‘n’ Play feature allows the user to configure the DTE rate of the CP unit (Remote) via the ForeFront (CP) site will automatically configure itself to the DTE rate (Bandwidth Allocation) defined at the Model 3096RC. Other configuration parameters remain in the default setting.
Follow the instructions below to activate RocketLink Plug ‘n’ Play between CO (Model 3096RC) and CP (Model 3088/I) units:
Set the Model 3096RC (CO) to either Internal or External clocking mode as defined by the application.
Verify that the Model 3088/I (CP) is configured for factory default settings.

When the units connect over DSL, the 3088/I (CP) will enter a predefined default configuration. During the negotiation process between the units, the 3096RC (CO unit) will configure the DTE rate/line rate on the 3088/I as defined by the settings of the CO unit. When additional bandwidth is required, only the configura­tion of the CO unit should be changed. This feature gives ISPs, LECs and PTTs the ability to provision band­width on an as needed basis to customers.
