1.4. Power Modem series Sigrand SG-17B has modification with different type of power – ~220B, PoE receipt and delivery, a wide range of DC voltage: 12V, 24V, 48V and modification of the issuing and receiving the remote powering through a DSL line (Table 2).
1.4.1. Remote power Power-over-DSL (PoDSL) Remote power (PoDSL): Voltage, DC V Current, mA Output power, W Remote powering of the modem is carried through a DSL signal line. For the modems which has ability to obtain remote power, on the opposite side of the DSL line must be installed equipment supporting the power supply through the line.
The voltage of through-line powering is constant-current 48 Volt. The capacity of the devices hooked up through the system of through-line powering (for SG-17B-261 modem, the total of the capacities of the devices hooked up through the system of through-line powering and РоЕ) must not exceed 10 watt.
PoDSL (17W), consumption modem through PoE will be about 20 W, which corresponds to the class of consumption PoE+. Modem power SG-17B-151 and SG-17B-351 for option "A" and "B" standard IEEE 802.3af. 1.5. Other information External dimensions of the modem case indoor: •...

1.8.2. Indicators and sockets outdoor case On the front panel of the modem in an outdoor case (Fig. 6) there are three cable glands, which allows to make a connection to the interfaces SHDSL, RS-232С and Ethernet. For the initial setup and connect the modem allowed delete a panel with the cable glands.
2.1.1. Specific features of connecting the modem to a PoDSL line With SG-17B-161 and SG-17B-261 modems, it is permissible to hook them up to a DSL line with voltage already fed there from a Sigrand device: • SG-17S with MS-17H4P2 modules;...
• Place the RJ-45 plug on the cable, according to (Fig. 7). Modem Sigrand SG-17B uses only one pair of wires, pins 4 and 5, the other pins are not used.. • Connect the cable socket to the DSL socket of the modem.
Management of the modem Sigrand SG-17B modems are managed through the control port «CONSOLE» (Fig. 4) by means of RS-232C interface, through a computer where terminal software is installed. 3.1. How to link-up and set-up a terminal To set up a modem, its control port is to be connected to a serial port of the computer.

3.3. Management of the DSL interface DSL interface is adjusting by use of the following commands: master | slave - set modem mode: master(CO) or slave(CPE) annexA|B - G.SHDSL.bis Annex type tcpamXXX - line coding, XXX={16,32,64,128} rate <value> - line rate plesio | plesio-ref|sync - Plesiochronous/Plesio-Ref/Synchronous modes pbo-normal|pbo-forced<val>...
To make the optimal choice for the bitrate, the parameters of the line intended for the modems are to be taken into account. In case the line parameters are unknown, the following procedure is recommended to choose the bitrate: • Measure the line resistance with an ohmmeter (at one side, the wire pair is short-circuited and at the other side the measurement is carried out) and use Table 2 of Appendix to define the bitrate...
Page 26
Therefore, when setting up the bitrate of the communication line, special attention should be paid to the encryption algorithm TCPAM and, when necessary, the linear coding should be altered in order to produce the best possible results. In diagram 1, the permissible ranges of TCPAM encodings are shown. Diagram 1 192 Kbps 3840 Kbps...
The commands plesio, plesio-ref, sync are used to set up the mode of synchronizing modems. In case the communication route is formed of modems Sg-17B<->Sg-17B, the mode of synchronization «sync» is recommended. Otherwise, modes «plesio» or «plesio-ref» are preferable, the choice being determined for each specific communication line empirically.
3.3.6. Statistics of the SHDSL connection To review the statistics of the connection, the command stat is used: > stat dsl_link: online SNR_Margin 19dB, Loop Attenuation 1dB, pbo_Value 6 ES_count 0, SES_count 0, CRC_Anomaly_count 0, LOSWS_count 0, UAS_count 0, Loss_count 0 •...
Initialization of a new connection is defined by the option retrain: > retrain 3.4. Adjusting the Ethernet interface Sigrand SG-17B modems are equipped with a 10/100M Ethernet port, with the option of auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X. By default, the Ethernet port is arranged in the «auto» mode – with automatic speed/duplex adjusting.

To initialize the process of updating the firmware, the following steps should be taken: • Disconnect the modem from the power source. • Connect the modem’s control port «CONSOLE» (Fig. 8) to the seri- al port (RS-232C) or to the USB port (in case a “Com <–> USB” cable adapter is used) of the computer.

Page 32
Then the location of the image-file aimed for updating the modem’s firm- ware should be specified. The form of an image-file is «*.bin». A firmware can contain several image-files. The process of updating is to be initiated for each file separately. The order of updating files is arbitrary.
