XL-GDB SHDSL series Executive Summary

Today’s bandwidth requiremenrt applications, such as Internet access, remote LAN access, teleconferencing, workgroup and data sharing, telecommuting and numerous varieties of digital video services and the increasing volume of traditional data, are driving demand for high-speed data network access. We, XTENDLAN, design, develop and market transmission systems based on Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology for copper wire plant. They support all contemporary data rates, from 64kbps to multi-megabit symmetric and asymmetric transmission for voice, video and data communications over a twisted copper pair. Our access systems link enterprise LANs and Network Service Providers over private and public networks across the local loop, the connection between the customer and the first network node. Deploying in nearly any symmetric application requiring bandwidths from 192kbps to 2.3Mbps, G.SHDSL is poised for the best cost-effective solution for business-based applications such as Internet access and remote LAN access. By adapting G.SHDSL, Small to Medium Enterprises (SME) no longer afford the expensive enterprise data solutions such as T1/E1. XL-GDB offers Telcom service providers the best cost-effective solution for immediate implementation of replacing T1/E1 leased line. XL-GDB provides full duplex capability of supporting selected symmetric user data rates of T1, E1 or n x 64 kbit/s (range from 192 kbit/s to 2 304 kbit/s) leased line services or Ethernet interface extension using a Trellis Coded Pulse Amplitude Modulation (TCPAM) line code over one non-loaded two-wire metallic cable pair. The line speed for transmitted and received data shall be multiple for lengthening the transmission distance. These selectable line rates empower Telecom to create high-bandwidth service offerings or select the proper speed for distance-sensitive deployments, thereby deploiting the high-bandidth efficiently and fitting subscribers’ needs simutaneously.

1.2.1 Operation

Figure 1.1 XL-GDB with external AC power architecture

The XL-GDB receives its power from the AC power source via an AC adapter provided by XtendLan. In E1 or Fractional E1 mode (also in T1 or Fractional T1 mode), the local equipment (i.e.: router or PBX) supplies data at full or fractional E1 speed to the G.703 data port of the XL-GDB. The XL-GDB produces a digitized data stream, which is transmitted over the single copper pair to the line port of its associated XL-GDB line interface card. The XL-GDB interface card then directs the data stream to the central office switch or other central office equipment for transmission to its destination. Payload rate can be automatically adjusted downwards until it finds the highest speed it can sync to the remote unit, thereby maximizing the rate and reach. At the central office site, manual rate selection can be performed. It has to base on what fixed rate service is desired. Utilizing the V.35 or 10/100Base-TX data port, the XL-GDB SHDSL system can support un-channelized data rates up to 2.304 Mbps.

Chapter 2: System Overview

2.1 General

The following section describes the XL-GDB access system, DSL transmission, performance monitoring, and configuration, alarm management, diagnostics and common applications.

2.2 System Description

The typical XL-GDB SHDSL access system consists of a XL-GDB at the customer site interfacing with a XL-GDB line card at the central office over a Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line transmission line. The system transmits data symmetrically, at the same rate in both directions, over one pair of copper wires. XL-GDB allows existing and new telephone companies to expeditiously and economically providing this high-speed access to their customers. In order to satisfy increasing demand for high data rate services, XL-GDB provides transmission over a single copper pair more than doubling the transmission capacity of the existing copper plant. The XL-GDB single-pair SHDSL access system maximizes network performance and provisioning flexibility by providing automatic rate/reach adjustment at the various symmetric data rates (see chart 1). XL-GDB is configured and managed locally via a VT-100 type Terminal connected to the unit through the CID port on the rear of the unit. It can also be configured and managed remotely via a terminal connected to the far-end XL-GDB.

2.3 SHDSL Transmission

Today’s bandwidth-hungry applications such as Internet access, remote LAN access, teleconferencing, workgroup and data sharing, telecommuting and numerous varieties of digital video services are driving today’s demand for high-speed data network access. These content rich applications have put extraordinary stress on that vital connection between the customer and the first network node… the local loop. To address this need for higher bandwidth and to minimize the bottleneck at the local loop, the telecommunications industry has developed a set of new technologies, the most significant of which is Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) transmission. Many types of DSL have been developed for various applications. XtendLan SHDSL address both the need for higher bandwidth and the efficient use of existing copper by combining the lat est SHDSL technology to transmit and receive traffic from 64kbps to 2.304 Mb/s and up to 6,300 meters while using only one-pair of 24 AWG copper wire. Because only one pair of copper wire is needed with SHDSL technology, the capacity of the local loop infrastructure is enhanced dramatically. The

XtendLan XL-GDB series User’s Guide

multi-rate capability of the XL-GDB SHDSL access system provides needed flexibility for service providers deploying today’s digital services.

2.4 Real-time Performance Monitoring

The system provides extensive real-time, non-disruptive monitoring of system performance. DSL transmission and interface port parameters are continuously monitored. Current and historical data is available to assist you in identify sources of problems during troubleshooting.

2.4.1 Monitored Parameters

Signal/Noise Ratio: This is a DSL transmission parameter, measured in dB, which indicates the Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio at a receiver point. The signal-to-noise value is available on the CID’s status screen and the value is updated every second. DSL CRC-6: This is a 6-bit word in every DSL frame, representing a calculation based on all the bits in that frame except for FAW and CRC-6 bit word. Any mismatch at the receiver, between the received CRC-6 and the one calculated based on the received data in the frame, indicates one or more bits were received in error in that second and it is considered and Errored Second (ES). DSL Sync Loss: To assure proper synchronization between DSL transceivers, a sync word is generated in every frame. A sync loss is declared when one or more bits in five consecutive sync words are detected in error. When this happens, the entire second of data is considered an Unavailable Second(UAS).

2.4.2 History Reports

parameters are calculated:

Error Seconds (ES): a second in which at least 1 CRC-6 error is detected. Sever Error Seconds (SES): a second in which at least 150 CRC-6 errors are detected. Unavailable Seconds (UAS): a second in which one or more sync loss ebeny has occurred.

Cumulative counts of these parameters are displayed via the console as discussed in Chapter 5 “Configuration/Operation.” The readout displays the total count of each parameter since the last time the count was cleared.

Based on detected parameters, the following derived performance

2.4.3 Status Readouts

In addition to history reports, the XL-GDB provides current status readouts via CID. The Status menu displays the signal/noise ratio as well as loss of sync or errored CRC. For the synchronous interfaces such as V.35, the status of clock and control lead is shown. For the G.703 interface, such status items as HDB3 detected, frame bit error, carrier loss, yellow alarm and sync loss are indicated if they are present.

XtendLan XL-GDB series User’s Guide

2.5 Interface Configuration

Parameters can be changed by using CID. When using a terminal, the parameters are selected from the Configuration menu.

2.6 Interface Type

The XL-GDB is configured as DCE and is provided with a female connector for V.35, EIA-530, RS-449 and X.21 interfaces. Appendix A lists each of the signals, pin numbers, and their relative direction for the different interfaces. G.703 (E1) and T1 interfaces are available.

2.7 Alarm management

The XL-GDB includes alarm to alert you of problem conditions on both the DSL transmission facility and the data interface. On the DSL line, loss of Sync will activate an alarm, independent of the access interfaces. Loss of Sync: This alarm indicates that the facility cannot transmit data until the XL-GDB can re-synchronize itself. This is always considered an alarm. The alarm indication is shown as a local and a remote sync loss. On the G.703 and T1 interfaces, numerous alarm conditions will be reported if they are present:

1. Loss of Frame (LOF)

2. BPV Detected

3. RAI/YEL: Remote alarm indicator/Yellow alarm

4. AIS: Alarm indication signal

5. CRC Error

6. LOS: Loss of signal

2.8 Diagnostics

In addition to the real-time, non-disruptive performance monitoring discussed in Section 2.4, the XL-GDB System provides for disruptive (out-of-service) diagnostic testing. For detailed Loopback points, please refer to Appendix D Loopback Diagram. The XL-GDB system does this by incorporating four loopback modes as follows:

2.8.1 Near End Loopback (NearEndLB)

In this mode, The NLB capability is set up inside STU-C/STU-R as close as possible to the network side interfaces. The NLB is capable of control (activation and deactivation) by CID. The received signal is sent to the loop during the NLB is activated. For example, if Near End Loopback is activated at STU-C, the direction of Near End Loopback would be like (A) in figure 2.1.

STU-C

Figure 2.1 Near End Loop Back

2.8.2 Local Loopback(LocalLB)

The local loopback capability is set up inside STU-C/STU-R as close as possible to the loop interfaces. The local loopback is capable of control (activation and deactivation) by CID. The received signal is sent to the loop during local loopback. For example, if local loopback is activated at STU-C, the direction of local loopback would be like (B) in figure 2.2

STU-C

Figure 2.2 Local DSL Loopback

XtendLan XL-GDB series User’s Guide

2.8.3 Remote Loopback (RemoteLB)

The Remote Loopback is able to be activated and deactivated through EOC via CID interfaces. This loopback is used for checking the loop and transceiver units of STU-C/STU-R. The received signal is sent to network side interface during the RLB loopback. For example, if Remote Loopback is activated at STU-C, the direction of local loopback would be like (c) in figure 2.3

STU-C

Figure 2.3 Remote Loopback

2.8.4 Remote Payload Loopback (PayloadLB)

The Remote Payload Loopback is able to be activated and deactivated through EOC via CID interfaces, and is set up inside STU-C/STU-R as close as possible to the network side interfaces. The received signal is sent to network side interface. For example, if Remote Payload Loopback is activated at STU-C, the direction of Remote loopback would be like (D) in figure 2.4

STU-C

Figure 2.4 Remote Payload Loopback When any of these modes is activated, the loopback path causes the system operation to be disrupted. In particular, the Local SHDSL Loopback path opens the line, causing the system to lose synchronization. Once this loopback is deactivated, the system will reinitialize.

XtendLan XL-GDB series User’s Guide

5.5.1.2.4 LBO Menu

The above menu is for configure the T1 reach parameter. The T1’s transmit pulse is increased with the change of distance. The transmit pulse is the largest when the LBO setting is at 533 ~ 655 feet and the transmit pulse is the smallest when the LBO setting is at 0 ~ 133 feet. This parameter is used to compensate for the loss that will occur when longer wires are used for T1 transmission. The conversion factor between feet and meters is that 1 meter is approximately 3.3 feet. Hence, 655 feet is approximately 200 meters. When this parameter is used incorrectly, the T1 interface will be receiving no signals or too strong of a signal which will cause T1 interface malfunction.

Chapter 6 Configuration/Operation using LCD Panel

This chapter describes how to use the LCD front panel to configure the system, monitor status and gathering statistics. The LCD menu consists of five main selections: Configuration, Surveillance, Maintenance, Miscellaneous and Remote Logon. Each selection has multiple selection items, which can be used to configure, monitor and examine the unit and the pair’s condition. Please note that CID operation has priority over LCD panel operation; therefore, when the CID port has a terminal or PC connected to it, the LCD will only show the first screen and the unit will ignore key press on the LCD panel.

The LCD front panel consists of a 16 characters by 2 lines Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and four keys. The keys are designated with 3, 4, EXIT and ENTER. The EXIT key is used to jump up to the previous level of menu. The 3and 4 keys are used to scroll through the menu items or make changes. The ENTER key is used to confirm an operation and in some screens, change displayed items. The main screen consists of information about the current unit. The first line displays G.SHDSL and The second line shows the STU-C or STU-R. To move from the main screen to the other operations menu, one can press 3or 4 keys. To jump back to the main screen from the menu level below the main screen one can press EXIT key. The menu structure is similar to that of CID operations menu. There are five main selections: Configuration, Surveillance, Maintenance, Miscellaneous and Remote Logon. Each selection will be explained in more detail in the following sections.
