Overview

®

The Patton Model 3224 (see figure 1) and ForeFront
software platforms. The 3224 is a central site standalone device which connects and routes up to 24 G.SHDSL
subscribers directly. The Model 6081RC is installed in Patton’s ForeFront chassis system at a central site and
routes/bridges DSL subscribers data when used in conjunction with Patton’s model 3096RC( 16-port
G.SHDSL TDAC) and/or 3196RC (16-port iDSL T-DACS).

The Models 3224 IpDSLAM and 6081RC EdgeRoute Network Access Server powerful routing engines enable
network engineers to deploy flexible bridged or routed applications. Routed links can be configured using
Static, RIP (Routing Information Protocol), or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocols. This guide
addresses configuration steps needed for bridged data and routed applications.

Models 3224 G.SHDSL IpDSLAM & 6081RC NAS Applications Guide

Introduction

The Models 3224 and 6081RC share routing and bridging software platforms, and both are central
site devices.

The 3224 is equipped with 24 G.SHDSL ports running at speeds from 192kbps to 4.6Mbps. The G.SHDSL
ports connect to customer premise G.SHDSL modem/routers such as the Patton Model 3201.

The Model 6081RC is mounted on a Patton Electronics ForeFront chassis (Models 6276, 6476, or 6676). The
6081RC connects to ForeFront function cards such as the 3096RC, 3196RC, 2616RC, or 6511RC via a mid­plane H.110 bus. In G.SHDSL applications, DSL frames carrying data from customer sites are terminated at
the ForeFront chassis by a Model 3096RC; data is then passed to the model 6081RC via H.110 ports.

Physical layer characteristics

The Model 3224 has 24 G.SHDSL ports structured in nx64kbps timeslots from 192kbps to 4.6Mbps, and
two 10/100base-T Ethernet ports.

The Model 6081RC has 32 H.110 ports (each port structured in 128 unidirectional 64kbps slots), and three
10/100base-T Ethernet ports.

This chapter contains the following sections that describe configuring the Model 3224 G.SHDSL ports and
Model 6081RC H.110 ports:

• “Configuring Model 3224 G.SHDSL parameters” on page 11

• “Configuring Model 6081RC H.110 parameters” on page 12

Configuring Model 6081RC H.110 parameters

The Model 6081RC card routes/bridges data from H.110 and Ethernet ports. The 6081RC connect to the
ForeFront chassis H.110 bus via mating mid-plane connectors.

There are 32 H.110 ports available on the ForeFront chassis H.110 bus, Each of the function cards (i.e.,
6081RC, 3096RC, 6511RC, etc.) have access to all 32 ports on the bus.

Characteristics of the H.110 bus:

• The H.110 bus is partitioned into 32 ports.

• Each H.110 port can handle up to 128 timeslots, each timeslot is 64 kbps.

• H.110 timeslots are unidirectional, for a full duplex link timeslots need to be defined for each direction of

transmission.

• H.110 port numbers between two cards must match.

• Direction of transmission between two cards must complement each other.

Figure 6 shows an H.110 bus interconnection connection between a 6081RC and a 3096RC. Two maps are

necessary for a full duplex link; both maps must have the same number of timeslots in each direction. In addi­tion, the 6081RC H.110 port should connect to a corresponding 3096RC H.110 port. Similarly, the H.110
directions between the 6081RC and the 3096RC maps should complement each other, for example timeslots
in a “to H.110” port on the 6081RC, should go to timeslots in a “from H.110” port on the 3096RC.

Figure 6. H.110 port correspondence and direction

Defining H.110 channels

From the standpoint of the 6081RC, H.110 ports and timeslot are assigned to PPP channels. To configure
H.110 channels, do the following:

1. Click on the H.110 link in the Configuration Menu pane (see figure 4 on page 11) to display the

Channel Configuration page (see figure 7).

2. Type a description for the channel (in figure 7, the description would be Location1). This description will

be associated with a PPP channel defined later in this procedure).

3. Click on the

Add Channel button to create the new channel.

4. Click on the channel number hyperlink in the Channel column (in figure 8, you would click on

channel 1) to refresh the page and cause information about the newly created channel to appear. Channels
will be numbered (starting with 1) in the order they are entered.

Note If you want to delete a channel configuration from the listing, click

the

Delete check box for the channel you want removed, then click

the Delete Channel(s) button.

Note If a bridged or routed PPP link is active on this channel, deactivate

the PPP link before deleting the H.110 channel.

Defining H.110 ports, timeslots, and direction

1. Click on the channel number hyperlink in the H.110 Channel Configuration page to go to the H.110 Set-

tings channel timeslot mapping page (see figure 9). The page displays the channel number, description,
and places to add a timeslot map. This page provides several buttons for navigating through stored bridge
configuration:

– The Refresh Page button forces the 6081RC to display changes made since the previous refresh cycle
– The First Channel button displays the configuration for the first channel in the H110 Channel Config-

uration page listing of channels (see figure 9).
