3.0 PPP OPERATIONAL BACKGROUND PPP is a protocol used for multi-plexed transport over a point-to-point link. PPP operates on all full duplex media, and is a symmetric peer-to-peer protocol, which can be broken into three main components: 1. A standard method to encapsulate datagrams over serial links;...
remove any routing/forwarding intelligence from the CPE. The associ- ated Cisco configuration will set serial interface (s0) to accommodate half bridging for the above example. Authentication is optional under PPP. In a point-to-point leased-line link, incoming customer facilities are usually fixed in nature, therefore authentication is generally not required.

3.2.1 Introduction to Main Menu After entering the password, you may access all of the system’s functions and parameters. The Main Menu looks like this: To make a selection, key the highlighted letter that corre- sponds to a menu selection. To execute the selection, type [Enter/CR] To toggle between options on a highlighted selection, Press [space].
Page 17
The Main Menu options are briefly described below. System Configuration options allow you to change various aspects of the Model 2720’s operation, e.g., framing, line cod- ing, and aggregate bandwidth. System Diagnostics/Statistics options allow you to monitor the network performance, initiate V.54 loops, local loops, and send test patterns.
Page 18
3.2.2 System Configuration The default System Configuration menu looks like this: The System Configuration options are described below: Line Format: ESF (default) Options: ESF, D4, UNFRAMED D4: This is an older, but widely used, line format that does not provide FDL, so network interface performance cannot be monitored so easily.
Page 19
Extended Superframe Format “extends” the DS1 superframe structure from 12 to 24 frames…for a total of 4632 bits. It redefines the 8 kb/s channel previously used exclusively for terminal and robbed bit signaling synchronization.” The ESF provides a 4 kb/s data link, called the FDL, which allows for in-service monitoring and fast troubleshooting.
Page 20
This enables information to be sent over a T1 connection without any constraints on the data’s pulse density. This is the most acceptable way to accomplish 64 kb/s on each DS0 channel. B7ZS: This stands for Bipolar Seven Zero Substitution. Instead of introducing bipolar violations, this method substitutes a one for a zero in bit 7 (out of 8) of a DS0 channel when the data in that channel are all zeros.

ESF Data Link: ANSI T1.403 (default) Options: ANSI T1.403, AT&T TR54016 ANSI T1.403: This ANSI developed standard (see ANSI T1.403- 1995: Network-to-Customer Installation—DS1 Metallic Interface) uses the FDL to send and receive one second Performance Report Messages (PRMs). The messages con- tain the NI performance over the last four seconds.
Page 22
Remote In-band Loops: Enabled (default) Options: Enabled, Disabled In ESF, D4 and Unframed formats, the unit can respond to special repeating codes in the data stream that represent loopback com- mands. The command to loop up (go into loopback) is a repeating pat- tern of 00001s.

unit. This will cause the unit to enter a special mode. Then turn off the unit and change the switch settings to the desired settings. When you turn the unit on again, the unit will be set up with the selected switch settings.
Page 24
The Model 2720 is in remote or CO initiated loopback mode or sending a pattern. Local loopback is disabled. LocP The Model 2720 is in Local Loopback mode, and is send- ing a test pattern. Remote Loop Idle (default) The Remote Digital Loopback (RDL) test checks the performance of both the local and remote Model 2720s, as well as the communica- tion link between them.
Page 25
RxAk The Model 2720 has received an acknowledgement from the remote unit. Tout The Model 2720 is waiting before entering the Remote Loopback test mode. The Model 2720 has successfully negotiated the Remote Loopback test and is in control of the remote unit. You may send a test pattern at this point by pressing: c <spacebar>...
Page 26
The Model 2720 receiving a RL can be in one of the following states: RxPr The Model 2720 is receiving a preparatory pattern. Sack The Model 2720, upon receiving a preparatory pattern, sends an acknowledgement message. The Model 2720 is in remote loopback mode. RxTr The Model 2720 is receiving a terminate loopback mes- sage.
Page 27
NI STATUS The Network interface (NI) status is shown in the middle of the Diagnostics/Statistics screen. The brackets are empty when the link is operating normally. In this example, various two or three-letter messages are displayed within the brackets, illustrating what you may see if the Model 2720 is not connected at all or is in a loss of signal condition.

Rx PRM The NetLink-T1™ transmits ANSI performance report messages once a second when the framing mode is ESF. When the ESF Data Link is set to ANSI T1.403, the unit recognizes PRMs with addresses of 38h or 3Ah. The address 3Ah indicates the PRM is coming from a Carrier, whereas the address 38h indicates the PRM is coming from a Customer.

9 pulses = Detected LAN receive frame(s) too 10 pulses = Detected LAN receive frame(s) not 11 pulses = large octet aligned Detected LAN receive frame(s) with bad CRC The alarm LED indicates the presence of a Blue or Yellow Alarm, or Out of Frame con- dition.
5.2 LOOP (V.54 & TELCO) DIAGNOSTICS The NetLink-T1™ offers three V.54 loop diagnostics and is com- patible with two Telco loop diagnostics. Use these diagnostics to test the CSU/DSU and any communication links. These tests can be acti- vated via the software control port (See Section 3.2.3 System Diagnostics), via signals on the serial port interface or the front panel switch.

5.2.2 Operating Remote Digital Loopback (RL) The Remote Digital Loopback (RL) test checks the performance of both the local and remote NetLink-T1™, as well as the communication link between them. Any characters sent to the remote NetLink-T1™ in this test mode will be returned back to the originating device (i.e, char- acters typed on the keyboard of the local terminal will appear on the local terminal screen after having been passed to the remote NetLink- T1™...
5.2.3 CSU Loop The NetLink-T1™ also responds to central office initiated loop com- mands. The NetLink-T1™ will implement the “loop up” command when it recognizes the pattern “10000” in the data stream for a minimum of 5 seconds. The “loop down” command is implemented by the pattern “100”...
