1. Modem description The Sigrand SG-16G modem is a SНDSL-modem. It features an E1 system interface (ITU-T G.703/G.704, 2048 kbps) and is intended to be used as a line termination unit of TDM-based communication equipment. The modem allows to make connections between devices equipped with E1 interfaces such as telco equipment, routers and access servers.
16G modem is shown on Table 2. The Bit Error Rate (BER) at the maximum reach is equal to or less than 10 . The specified reach is proved by testing at the Sigrand lab reference line. Full version of the rate table is available at...
An actual reach may vary against the shown data due to variations of cable performance. Table 2 TPP50-0.4 TPP50-0.5 Data rate Rating cable cable Line coding (kbps) (26 AWG) (24 AWG) Length (km/ft) 3.8/12400 5.6/18300 2048 TCPAM16 1064 R (Ω)
1.8 Appearance, controls, indicators and connectors The Sigrand SG-16G modem can be connected to any equipment having E1 interface such as telco equipment, routers and access servers. The modem is manageable by switches placed on the rear panel as well as by console management port (ch.

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-16G modem uses only one pair of pins, namely 4 and 5. Other pins are not assigned. •...
2.2 Choosing modem management method There are two ways to manage the modem: • by the DIP-switches placed on the rear panel of the modem (see fig.4); • by a terminal program via the RS-232C console port. Both modes have certain advantages over each other so a user is free to choose either setup mode according to actual requirements for modem operation.
2.4.1 Rate selection guidelines Before setting the data rate you should have known the performance of the line the modems are intended for. If the line performance is unavailable, apply the following technique to select the proper data rate: • Measure resistance of the line.

3.4.5 Timeslot map The G.704 E1 frame structure consists of 32 8-bit channels (so-named “timeslots”) which have been assigned numbers from 0 to 31. The timeslot 0 is used to transmit the frame alignment signal (FAS) and the additional (service) bits (Sa, Si). The timeslots 1 through 31 are used to transmit payload data.

Used timeslots: 17 Payload: 1088 kbit/s To add several timeslots specify those by a list: e1 map add 3 4 6, or by a range: e1 map add 8-11. To enable all timeslots simultaneously use the following command: e1 map add all. : e1 map add 3 4 6 E1A: Long-Haul FRAMED Code=HDB3 –...

3.4.5.1 Timeslot 0 The timeslot 0 usually is not included in a list of transmitted timeslots since it is used for framing synchronization and carries no payload data, but its transmission demands another 64 kbps of the DSL rate. If the timeslot 0 is used to transmit payload data in additional (service) bit positions, it may also be included to the list of transmitted timeslots: : e1 map add 0 E1A: Long-Haul FRAMED Code=HDB3 –...
384 kbps. 3.4.6 E1 interface behavior in the Automatic DSL rate selection mode E1 interface operation of the SG-16G modems has a number of features in the automatic DSL rate selection mode. The number of transmitted timeslots may vary from one connection session to another since the DSL rate is selected automatically per each connection session.

timeslots are added. These are timeslots 17 through 22 (marked by plus “+”). All free timeslots are arranged as additional timeslots in ascending order starting from 1. The timeslot 0 cannot be used as an additional one. Upon disconnecting all additional timeslots are removed automatically. : dsl DSL: Rate=Auto...
