Before starting installation of the modem we recommend you to look for an updated version of this User's Guide as well as the firmware and the drivers available at our site www.sigrand. com...
1. Modem description The Sigrand SG-16B modem is a SНDSL-modem. It features an Ethernet- bridge and is designed to connect distributed local area networks as well as remote computers and other devices equipped with an Ethernet interface. The bridge can transmit VLAN IEEE 802.1Q tagged packets through the DSL interface and the Ethernet interfaces.
Compatibility: The Sigrand SG-16B modem line coding is compatible with all Sigrand SG-16 series and Granch SBNI16 series modems. Limitations of compatibility: Interoperability with the Granch SBNI16 modems is supported only within the compatible data rate range from 64 to 4608 kbps.
10 . The specified reach is proved by testing at the Sigrand lab reference line. Full version of the rate table is available at our site www.sigrand.com. An actual reach may vary against the shown data due to variations of cable performance.

1.9 Appearance, controls, indicators and connectors The Sigrand SG-16B modem should be connected either to a computer equipped with an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet card or to an Ethernet-switch. We recommend to connect the modem to an Ethernet switch, not a hub, since our equipment is optimized for interaction with Ethernet switches.

Attention! Reboot the modem to activate a new modem operation mode, changed by the DIP switches! 2. Modem setup directions 2.1 Connecting modem to a line Make sure the line has no foreign devices varying its specifications such as fuses, inductors, load coils and other similar line conditioning devices.
After you verify that the line comply with the aforementioned requirements - • Fix the supplied RJ-45 plug on the cable in accordance with figure 5. The Sigrand SG-16B modem uses only one pair of pins, namely 4 and 5. Other pins are not assigned. •...
2.4 Setting DSL rate Fixed rate value is set by dial switch RATE (figures 2 and 4). One of 16 fixed data rates have to be selected by the dial. 2.4.1 Setting DSL rate for remote modem This feature is available only for modems with firmware version 2.5 or higher. The SET2 switch has the following meaning: •...
Baud rate (Bits per second) should be set to 9600 or 57600 in accordance with SET3 switch setting. Power on or reboot the modem. If the terminal has been set up properly, the following message appears on the screen: Sigrand SG-16B SHDSL modem V.2.5 Interface module ETH1/ETH2 Initialization complete...
3.2 General purpose commands The modem is managed by a set of commands conventionally divided into two types: the “general purpose” commands such as help, info, update, default, reboot, and the interface management commands such as dsl and eth1/eth2. Capabilities of the console management mode allow to configure the DSL interface as well as to control the Ethernet interfaces.
The reboot command performs reset of the modem. : reboot Rebooting... Sigrand SG-16B SHDSL modem V.2.5 Interface module ETH1/ETH2 Initialization complete The update command is used to update the modem firmware. Detailed procedure of firmware reprogramming is discussed in chapter 4 of this Guide.
command allows to view statistics, to enter or to change settings of the DSL interface. The command invoked with no option displays current settings of the interface : dsl DSL: CFG=PREACT Rate=192 Code=TCPAM16 MASTER Annex=F – OFFLINE 3.3.1 “Master”/”slave” mode selection Configure one peer modem as “master”, do another one as “slave”...
The rate setup is performed by the RATE rrrr option (“rrrr” stands for rate in kbps). The rate is within 192 to 5696 kbps range with 64 kbps step: : dsl rate 192 DSL: CFG=PREACT Rate=192 Code=TCPAM16 MASTER Annex=F - OFFLINE : dsl rate 5696 DSL: CFG=PREACT Rate=5696 Code=TCPAM32 MASTER Annex=F –...
: dsl rate 6016 DSL: CFG=LOCAL Rate=6016 Code=TCPAM32 MASTER Annex=A - OFFLINE : dsl rate 64 DSL: CFG=LOCAL Rate=64 Code=TCPAM4 MASTER Annex=A - OFFLINE The line coding mode is also changed accordingly upon the rate change. See how rates match line coding on Chart 1. 3.3.3 Line coding selection As mentioned above, different TСРАМ...
As follows from Chart 1, many data rates allows to use multiple line coding modes. Rule: apply a coding mode with less positions (ТСРАМ8, ТСРАМ4) on a line exposed to high level of noise; apply a coding mode with more positions (ТСРАМ32, ТСРАМ16) if bandwidth is limited.
Retraining of the DSL interface is performed by the dsl command with the retrain option: : dsl retrain DSL: CFG=LOCAL Rate=512 Code=TCPAM8 SLAVE Annex=A – OFFLINE 3.4 Ethernet interfaces management The Sigrand SG-16B modem features two Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T ports with Auto MDI/MDI-X.
The following commands allow to manage the ports: : help eth ETHx - show current ETHx settings, ETHx=1,2 ETHx RATE [10|100]|FULL|HALF|[/]AUTO|[/]FLOW mode ETHx ETHx STAT [RESET] - show statistics for ETHx (or clear it) The eth command allows to view statistics, to enter or to change Ethernet interface settings.

: eth1 ETH1: Rate=100 Mbit/s Duplex=FULL Auto-Neg FlowCont – ONLINE : eth1 /auto ETH1: Rate=100 Mbit/s Duplex=FULL FlowCont – ONLINE If Auto-Negotiation mode is off, use either the eth1 or the eth2 commands respectively with the rate 10 or the rate 100 options to set the Ethernet interface rate manually: : eth1 rate 100 ETH1: Rate=100 Mbit/s Duplex=FULL FlowCont –...
3.4.2 Flow control Besides setting of the rate and the transmission mode, the modem features flow control in compliance with the IEEE 802.3x specifications. It improves operation, protects packet buffer against overflowing and prevents data loss. This technique may also improve total network throughput and help to achieve optimal performance.
4. Updating built-in modem firmware Use the update command to update the built-in firmware of the Sigrand SG- 16B modem in the following order: : update Load new image? (y/n) Y Upon entering procedure acknowledgement Y the memory buffer is clearing and the prompt to download the image file appears here: Clearing buffer memory...
