  • Page 8: Introduction

    CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction 2.1 Description The 2-Wire Short-Range DSL Line Driver (HDSL) 10BASE-T is a multi-rate DSL modem that provides seamless MAC Layer connectivity between two peered 10BASE-T LANs. Enterprise users no longer need to hassle with a bridge and a CSU/DSU or recurring leased-line costs.

  • Page 9: Ppp Operational Background

    2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T 3. PPP Operational Background PPP is a protocol used for multiplexed transport over a point-to-point link. PPP operates on all full-duplex media. It’s a symmetric peer-to-peer protocol, which can be broken into three main components: 1.
  • Page 10 CHAPTER 3: PPP Operational Background Figure 3-1 shows a typical Cisco router with a serial interface configured as a PPP ® half-bridge. The router serial interface uses a remote device that supports PPP bridging to function as a node on the remote Ethernet network. The serial interface on the Cisco router will have an IP address on the same Ethernet subnet as the bridge.
  • Page 11 2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T Some networking systems do not define network numbers in packets sent out over a network. If a packet does not have a specific destination network number, a router will assume that the packet is set up for the local segment and will not forward it to any other sub-network.

  • Page 12: Configuration

    CHAPTER 4: Configuration 4. Configuration The HDSL Line Driver has two sets of eight DIP switches. This chapter describes switch locations and explains all settings. Configuring the Hardware DIP Switches The 16 external switches are grouped into two eight-switch sets. They’re externally accessible from the underside of the HDSL Line Driver, as shown in Figure 4-1.
  • Page 13 2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T DIP-S WITCH The only setting for S2 is for clocking mode between HDSL Line Drivers. All other switches are reserved for factory use and must remain in the default configuration. Default settings are shown in the Table 4-1. Table 4-1.
  • Page 14 CHAPTER 4: Configuration Table 4-2. Clock mode. CO/CP Unit S2-6 S2-7 Clock Mode Description Internal HDSL Line Driver generates internal, crystal controlled timing. Receive Recover HDSL Line Driver receives its timing from the CO unit over the DSL span. DIP-S WITCH Use the DIP switches in Switch S3 to set the DTE Rate (for LAN bandwidth allocation) and to reset the unit to its software default settings.
  • Page 15 2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T Switch S3-1 through S3-6: DTE Rate Use Switch S3-1 through S3-6 to provision bandwidth to the LAN in 64-kbps increments up to 1.152 Mbps. Peak bandwidth utilization on the local domain on an Ethernet LAN runs typically between 15% to 20% (1.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps) of the maximum bit rate of 10 Mbps.
  • Page 16 CHAPTER 4: Configuration NOTE The actual line rate of the Line Driver is determined by the selection of the DTE rate. To see the line rate associated with various DTE rates, refer to the distance chart in the Appendix. Switch S3-7: Reset Software Defaults Use Switch S3-7 to reset the software-configured factory defaults.

    2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T 5. Installation When the HDSL Line Driver has been properly configured, it may be connected to the DSL twisted-pair interface, the 10BASE-T Ethernet interface, and the power source. Figure 5-1 shows the locations of these interface ports. 10BASE-T interface Figure 5-1.

    CHAPTER 5: Installation Figure 5-2. Twisted-pair line interface. NOTE The HDSL Line Driver has been optimized for performance at high bit rates (DTE rates greater than 512 kbps). To ensure accurate performance at these bit rates, please use twisted-pair line interface cable that is at least 330 ft.

    2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T 5.3 Connecting the 10BASE-T Ethernet Port to Hub (DCE) The 10BASE-T interface is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) just like a 10BASE-T network interface card in a PC. Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10BASE-T hub using a straight-through RJ-45 cable.

    2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T 6. Operation When the HDSL Line Driver has been properly configured and installed, it should operate transparently. This chapter describes power-up, LED status indicators, and the built-in loopback test modes. 6.1 Power-Up Before applying power to the HDSL Line Driver, please read Section 5.4 and make sure that the unit will be connected to the appropriate power source.

  • Page 25: Restart Procedure And Timeouts

    2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T 6.3.2 R ESTART ROCEDURE AND IMEOUTS The restart procedure is in place to allow the units to re-establish a connection after the framer begins seeing unframed packets. Table 6-2 shows the amount of time the framer must see consecutive unframed packets before the unit will restart and try to establish a new line connection.

  • Page 26: Loops And Patterns

    CHAPTER 6: Operation 6.3.3 L OOPS AND ATTERNS The following section describes the remote loopback/BER test modes. Remote Digital When remote loop/511 or remote loop/511E is enabled via the front-panel switch, the remote unit’s restart timer is set to one minute. It does this because when the 511/511E generator is initiated on the local unit, the remote framer begins seeing unframed packets.
  • Page 27 2-WIRE SHORT-RANGE DSL LINE DRIVER (HDSL) WITH 10BASE-T 2. If the test indicates no errors are present, move the test switch V.52 toggle switch up, activating the 511E test with intentional errors present. If the test is working properly, the local unit’s red ER LED will blink. A successful 511E test will confirm that the link is in place, and that the Line Driver’s built-in 511 generator and detector are working properly.
