    4.0 Basic Operation For information on Basic Operations, Home menu, Launching Test Applications, and other features specific to the MTTplus Host Chassis, refer to the MTTplus Platform Manual. The following sections describe basic operations for the MTTplus-523 module. 4.1 Touch-Screen Display The LCD supports touch-screen operation.

    DSLAM or customer's modem can also be assessed. The MTTplus-523 offers the following test functions: Emulates customer modem (XTU-R or G.Fast FTU-R) to prove that synchronization or link up with DSLAM / DPU is...
  • Page 9 MTTplus-523_e-manual, D07-00-117P RevA00 providing data rates as high as 24 Mbit/s downstream and 1 Mbit/s upstream depending on loop length. ADSL2+ can also be used to reduce crosstalk because it provides the capability to use only tones between 1.1 MHz and 2.2 MHz, thus masking the downstream frequencies below 1.1 MHz and associated interference.
  • Page 10 MTTplus-523_e-manual, D07-00-117P RevA00 Note: Annexes: Similar to ADSL and ADSL2+, VDSL2 includes regional bandplan annexes that specify PSD Masks which are designed to coexist with other services. Annex A specifies bandplans for the North American and enables VDSL2 to be deployed with traditional POTS telephony. Annex B specifies bandplans for Europe and and enables VDSL2 deployment with underlying POTS and ISDN services.
  • Page 11 MTTplus-523_e-manual, D07-00-117P RevA00 G.fast is ideally suited for Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTdp), where pure FTT deployment costs remain high. G.fast enables telecommunications service providers to stay competitive with cable operators, offering Gigabit+ services based on DOCSIS 3.x. G.fast highlights: Aggregate data rate targets of up to 1 Gbps for short copper loops, less than 300 meters.

    MTTplus-523_e-manual, D07-00-117P RevA00 6.0 DSL/G.fast Measurements The DSL synchronization process for the MTTplus-523 is outlined as follows: 1. Activation, Discovery or Handshaking: Powering on the unit takes the DSL modem into activation and acknowledgement phase, also known as handshaking. The goals of this are to determine which tones can be used and how many bits can be assigned to each tone.

  • Page 18 MTTplus-523_e-manual, D07-00-117P RevA00 Bits per Tone Graph Interpreting the Results The lower frequency tones represent the bandwidth used for the upstream signal. The higher frequency tones at the right show the frequencies used for the downstream signal. The bits should drop to zero after the end of the upstream. This is the buffer between the upstream and downstream signals.
