Configuring the SHDSL LIM Configuring SHDSL interfaces Parameter Setting trunk-group Not currently used. Use the default value (zero). nailed-group Nailed-group number for the SHDSL physical interface. A connection or RADIUS profile specifies this number to make use of the interface. Each interface is assigned a unique default number, so you need not modify this parameter.

Configuring the SHDSL LIM Configuring SHDSL interfaces Parameter Setting clock-priority Clock priority assigned to the SHDSL line. Used to select a particular shdsl line as the 8kHz system clock source. Specify one of the following values: high-priority—A line with this priority is selected over lines with lower priorities.

Configuring the SHDSL LIM Configuring SHDSL interfaces Parameter Setting snext-margin Selects an Snext margin range that allows compensation for self-noise generated by adjacent SHDSL lines in the same bundle. A value other than disable will reduces the maximum rate that the loop trains at. Specify one of the following values: 10db -10db...

Configuring the SHDSL LIM Configuring SHDSL interfaces Parameter Setting gshdsl-standard- The G.991.2 standard network type for the network that is network-type connected to the SHDSL port. This setting specifies the modem output characteristics for either a North American or European network. Specify one of the following values: north-american-annex-a—North American Annex A network.
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Configuring SHDSL interfaces Parameter Setting master-binding- Specifies whether an SHDSL port is configured for binding port to the next adjacent port. Binding two SHDSL ports together aggregates their bandwidths together. Binding is enabled by configuring an odd numbered port as master.
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Configuring SHDSL interfaces gshdsl-psd-type = symmetric master-binding-port = no Binding two SHDSL ports Port binding allows the combining of two adjacent ports to double the available bandwidth. The port pairs on both the COE and CPE sides must support port binding. Stinger-to-Stinger connections can be supported by setting one pair of ports to a unit-type of coe and the other to a unit-type of cpe.

Configuring the SHDSL LIM Configuring call control Parameter Setting Enable or disable the Stinger system’s ability to ignore line In the system status when determining whether calls are established or not. profile: Specify one of the following values: ignore-lineup no (the default)—The Stinger call-control mechanism allows calls to be established if the line state is up and disallows calls if the line state is down.
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Checking the status of an SHDSL interface Checking the status of an SHDSL interface A Stinger unit creates an shdsl-stat profile for each SHDSL interface in the system. Following is an example for an active line (line 1 in this case) connected to a LIM in slot 6: [in SHDSL-STAT/{ shelf-1 slot-6 1 }] physical-address* = { shelf-1 slot-6 1 }...
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Checking the status of an SHDSL interface Checking the status of the physical interface An shdsl-stat profile’s physical-status subprofile provides information about the physical interface. For example: admin> list physical-status [in SHDSL-STAT/{ shelf-1 slot-2 10 }:physical-status] if-group-index = 226 unit-type = coe interface-type = g-shdsl...

Configuring the SHDSL LIM Checking the status of an SHDSL interface Parameter Indicates framer-sync-status State of the SHDSL framer. Provides troubleshooting information and can assist in determining loss of signal (LOS). This parameter reports one of the following values: in-sync—Framer is in sync. The SHDSL framers are successfully transmitting SHDSL frames.
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Diagnostic internal, external, and bit error-rate tests Diagnostic internal, external, and bit error-rate tests You can use the internal diagnostic test to identify problems that might occur during data transfer between the control module and line interface modules (LIMs). If the internal diagnostic test (IDT) feature is enabled for a line, the system generates a data stream internally from the control module and sends it to that line.
Page 35
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Diagnostic internal, external, and bit error-rate tests Parameter Setting Number of messages that the control module sends to the idt-num-of-msg line. Each message corresponds to four ATM cells. The data payload of each message consists of sequential numeric data.
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Diagnostic internal, external, and bit error-rate tests Parameter Specifies idt-error-counter Number of erroneous messages received by the control module. (This parameter is read-only.) Configuring an internal diagnostic test (IDT) To configure a line for internal diagnostic testing, set the idt-enable parameter to yes and set the idt-num-of-msg parameter to specify the number of test messages to be sent.
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Diagnostic internal, external, and bit error-rate tests Following is an example of setting up a BERT: [in LINE-DIAG/{ shelf-1 slot-4 1 }] admin> set bert-timer = 5 admin> set bert-enable = yes admin> write LINE-DIAG/{ shelf-1 slot-4 1 } written To view the status and results of the BERT, display the contents of the line-diag-stat profile for the tested line.
Configuring the SHDSL LIM Diagnostic internal, external, and bit error-rate tests Analog loopback When the line is enabled for analog loopback, the data passes from the digital circuitry to analog circuitry and is then looped back, as shown in Figure 1-6. Analog loopback tests more circuitry.
Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM redundancy The resulting system has 13 active ADSL LIMs and one spare that can be substituted for any one of the 13 LIMs if a failure occurs. In the same way, a unit can be equipped with the following module pairs: 6 SDSL LIM–LPM-RP pairs 1 SDSL–PSM pair or SDSL–CLT module pair 6 ADSL LIM–LPM-RP pairs...

Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM redundancy The parameters related to automatic LIM redundancy are found in the auto-lim-sparing-config subprofiles. The subprofiles are numbered according to the LIM slot numbers. These subprofiles apply only to those LIMs that are of the same type as the LIM specified by the spare-slot-type parameter in the lim-sparing-config profile.
Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM redundancy To activate automatic LIM redundancy for a particular LIM, you must set the following two parameters: In the lim-sparing-config profile for the spare LIM, set the following active parameter to yes: auto-lim-sparing-config:lim-sparing-config [slot number of backed-up LIM]:active .

Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM redundancy Parameter Indicates sparing-state State of the redundancy function. If redundancy is not enabled, sparing-none is the value. If redundancy is enabled and the LIM slot is a primary LIM, the value can be primary-active or primary-inactive.
Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM redundancy More than one kind of LIM port can be backed up. An additional LIM-PSM pair (or LIM-CLT module pair) of another type installed in a Stinger unit can be used to back up other LIMs of that type in the system.
Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM redundancy Enabling LIM port redundancy Redundancy for a particular slot and port is controlled by the sparing-mode parameter in the appropriate LIM profile. The sparing-mode parameter appears in all LIM profiles, as in the following SDSL profile for slot 2, port 6: [in SDSL/{ shelf-1 slot-2 6 }] name = 1:2:32...
