Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex A Line Interface Module (LIM) Configuring ATM ADSL-DMT interfaces admin> set max-add-noise-margin-down = 10 admin> set max-margin-enabled = yes You cannot set a value for the parameter to a value that is max-add-noise-margin-down less than that of the target-noise-margin-down parameter. Doing so causes the system to generate the following error message: error: Setting in MARGIN not supported for card.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex A Line Interface Module (LIM) Configuring ATM ADSL-DMT interfaces Dynamic rate-adaptive noise margin parameters Dynamic rate adaptation is not yet supported. Therefore, if you set any of the parameters described in this section, the modem retrains with its previous behavior. When dynamic rate adaptation is in use, the 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.
Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex A Line Interface Module (LIM) Configuring call control Parameter Description Not currently supported. Specifies the upstream noise margin ra-upshift-margin- relative to 0dB. If the noise level remains at this value for more than the specified time interval, the line increases its upstream bit rate.The valid range is 1dB through 31dB.

Configuring an ADSL 48-Port Annex A Line Interface Module (LIM) Checking status of ADSL-DMT interface Configuring the Stinger to disable a frequency bin To determine the frequency bin number to disable for a known frequency, take the frequency and divide it by 4.3125kHz and add 1 to the result. For example, to mask the frequency of an AM radio station at 640kHz, divide 640 by 4.3125.

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] >...

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.
