About This Guide What is in this guide This guide provides general information about Stinger ADSL Annex A LIMs that have the capability to support the ADSL2+ protocols. It identifies the LIM models with ADSL2+ capability that are available for different Stinger chassis and describes how to configure and monitor them.
Warning Warns of danger of electric shock. Warning Stinger documentation set The Stinger documentation set consists of the following manuals, which can be found at http://www.lucent.com/support and http://www.lucentdocs.com/ins: Read me first: – Edge Access and Broadband Access Safety and Compliance Guide. Contains important safety instructions and country-specific information that you must read before installing a Stinger unit.

Installation and basic configuration: – Getting Started Guide for your unit. Shows how to install your Stinger chassis and hardware. This guide shows you how to use the command-line interface to configure and verify IP access and basic access security on the unit.
TAOS 9.6.0 Installing an ADSL LIM Install an ADSL LIM in the same manner as other LIMs. See the Stinger Getting Started Guide for your unit for details. After installation, the module must be configured following the instructions in this guide.
The front panel of the 48-port LIM has only 48 PORT lights at the bottom of the panel. All other lights are identical on the 72-port and 48-port LIMs. Stinger® ADSL Annex A LIM Guide for LIMs with ADSL2+ Capability...

The TAOS software creates an al-dmt profile for each ADSL-DMT interface in a Stinger unit. The profiles are identified by the chassis and slot location of the LIM that provides them. One profile is created for each interface supported by the LIM in a specific slot.
(upstream and downstream) of ADSL transmission. In the Stinger profiles, you set parameters to specify the data rate, signal quality and power, and data delay of the interface. The Stinger unit references these parameters in the training process.
The Line-Config subprofile parameters configure an ADSL-DMT line. The parameters activate and set up the line and are shown with default values. The rate-adaptive and power parameters are described separately. Stinger® ADSL Annex A LIM Guide for LIMs with ADSL2+ Capability...

The upstream and downstream start and end bins define the frequency ranges for upstream and downstream data. The frequency for a particular bin is defined as the bin number multiplied by 4.3125kHz. You must also make sure to adjust the Stinger® ADSL Annex A LIM Guide for LIMs with ADSL2+ Capability...
The following parameters in the line-config subprofile, shown with default values, define how rate adaptation operates on the line: [in AL-DMT/{ any-shelf any-slot 0 }:line-config] rate-adapt-mode-up = automatic-at-startup rate-adapt-mode-down = automatic-at-startup Stinger® ADSL Annex A LIM Guide for LIMs with ADSL2+ Capability...

Setting min-bitrate-up Specifies the minimum bit rate for upstream traffic, from 0Kbps through 2016Kbps. The default value is 128Kbps. Note Not valid for the rate adaptation setting of operator-controlled. Stinger® ADSL Annex A LIM Guide for LIMs with ADSL2+ Capability...

Only used for the rate adaptation setting operator-controlled. Note Setting this parameter to a value above 18016Kbps without installing the software license for ADSL2+ will have no effect, and will generate an error message. 2-10 Stinger® ADSL Annex A LIM Guide for LIMs with ADSL2+ Capability...
Noise margin parameters The margin-config subprofile contains the parameters that configure noise margins. Noise margins are defined in decibels (dB). A BER of 10 represents 0dB. The line Stinger® ADSL Annex A LIM Guide for LIMs with ADSL2+ Capability 2-11...
Increase output power 0dB margin On many loops, the Stinger unit uses large power margins. To avoid excessive power margins, you can configure the Stinger unit with a maximum downstream noise margin value that it translates into a maximum power output value. The Stinger unit attempts to reduce the transmit power by a maximum of 12dB to achieve the desired maximum downstream noise margin.

Lucent Technologies license for ADSL2+ is installed on the Stinger unit. When dynamic rate adaptation is in use, the downstream line adjusts its bit rate dynamically (it upshifts to increase its bit rate or downshifts to reduce it) on the basis of specified noise margins and intervals for which a noise level is maintained, provided that the maximum or minimum bit rate has not been reached.
The following parameters configure dynamic rate adaptation for ADSL Annex-A LIMs with ADSL2+ capability. They are only valid when the Lucent Technologies license for ADSL2+ capability is installed on the Stinger unit, and the rate-adapt-mode parameter is set to dynamic. The following example illustrates their default settings.
SPVC remains connected. Connections are broken only if the physical slot or line stops operating or is disabled by an administrator. By default, the Stinger unit monitors the physical line state of its interfaces and allows connections to be established only when the line state is fully connected.
The following examples are provided as a general guide for initial configuration of an ADSL-DMT interface. They illustrate settings that commonly work well for legacy ADSL protocols. You should modify the specific settings shown here to meet local requirements. 2-16 Stinger® ADSL Annex A LIM Guide for LIMs with ADSL2+ Capability...
Configuration and Testing ADSL-DMT configuration examples for legacy ADSL In Figure 2-3, an ADSL-DMT interface in a Stinger unit is configured to support a rate-adaptive connection. Figure 2-3. ADSL ATM LIM configuration Ethernet ADSL modem POTS splitter Copper POTS pair...
The following four examples illustrate line code options that are available with ADSL2+ capability to support line rates that are higher than legacy ADSL rates. The Lucent Technologies software license for ADSL2+ must be installed on the Stinger unit to successfully configure the parameters in the following examples.
