Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Interpreting ADSL 48-port Annex C LIM status lights Temperature range LT version: 32°F to 131°F (0°C to 55°C). Relative humidity 10% to 90% (noncondensing). Physical connectors USOC RJ21X 50-pin telephone industry standard connector. Must meet JIS C5973 standards.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Configuring ADSL Annex C interfaces All status lights illuminate briefly upon startup or restart, then remain dark until the module passes its power-on self test (POST). When the module passes the POST and becomes operational, the ACTIVE light illuminates.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Configuring ADSL Annex C interfaces Overview of AL-DMT profile Each direction of traffic (upstream and downstream) on an Annex C ADSL line can have a different minimum and maximum bit rate. The maximum bit rate depends upon the ADSL mode, bitmap, and latency options that are selected.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Configuring ADSL Annex C interfaces AL-DMT parameters Following are descriptions of AL-DMT parameters. Its subprofiles are described in the following sections. Parameter Description Name Specifies the name of the interface. The default value is the interface address in shelf : slot : port format (for example, 1:2:3 ), but you can assign a text string of up to 16 characters.

(CPE). A series of adjustments of the bit-rate parameters in the AL-DMT profile might be required to obtain optimum operation of fast retrain. Consequently, Lucent Technologies recommends the use of filters on all analog telephone lines at the subscriber location.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Configuring ADSL Annex C interfaces Power spectral density (PSD) is the power of a signal per unit of frequency. The dimensions are those of a power divided by Hertz. In the Line-Config subprofile, the max-power-spectral-density parameter specifies the PSD allowed on the line at the transmitter output, expressed in dBm/Hz.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Configuring ADSL Annex C interfaces For optimum performance under most conditions when using the 48-port Annex C LIM, fast-path bit rates should be configured as shown in the following example, which shows how the bit rates are set for the first interface of a 48-port Annex C LIM in slot 2.

Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Checking status of ADSL DMT interfaces Checking status of ADSL DMT interfaces The Stinger unit creates status profiles for each ADSL DMT interface in the system. The AL-DMT profiles provide information about the physical interfaces and their operational status.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Checking status of ADSL DMT interfaces Checking status of physical interface The Physical-Status subprofile provides read-only information about the physical interface. The interface runs a continuous bit-error-rate test (BERT) over unused bandwidth, so bit-error counts are always available without explicitly running a BERT and disrupting data transmission.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex C Line Interface Module (LIM) Checking status of ADSL DMT interfaces Parameter Description Down-Stream-Rate-Interleave Indicates the downstream data rate in bps when latency is interleave. Zero means that latency is set to fast or the data rate is unknown.

Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM redundancy Monitoring continues on the secondary LIM. If modem errors exceed thresholds, the connections are transferred back to the primary LIM and the automatic redundancy process stops. You can restart the process by resetting the system or by setting the sparing-mode parameter to inactive and then back to automatic.
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] >...

Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM port redundancy Parameter Indicates State of the redundancy function. If redundancy is not sparing-state 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 port redundancy the spare. The remaining ports on the spare LIM remain available to back up other failed ports on any LIMs of the same type in the system. 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 can be used to back up other LIMs of that type in the system.
Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy Configuring LIM port redundancy Enabling LIM port redundancy Redundancy for a particular slot and port is controlled by the sparing-mode parameter in the appropriate LIM profile.
