Before starting installation of the modem we recommend you to look for a updated version of this User's Guide as well as the firmware and the drivers available at our site www.sigrand.com...
64 – 704 Manual line coding selection is available only in the console management mode – see chapter 3 of this Guide. Compatibility: The Sigrand SG-16G2 modem line coding is compatible with all Sigrand SG-16 series and Granch SBNI16 series modems.
16G2 modem is shown on Table 2. The Bit Error Rate (BER) at the maximum reach is equal to or less than 10 . The specified reach is proved by testing at the Sigrand lab reference line. Full version of the rate table is...

After you verify that the line comply with the aforementioned requirements - • Fix the supplied RJ-45 plug on the cable in accordance with figure 5. The Sigrand SG-16G2 modem uses only one pair of pins, namely 4 and 5. Other pins are not assigned. •...
Fig.5 2.2 Choosing modem management method There are two ways to manage the modem: • by the DIP-switches placed on the rear panel of the modem (see fig.4); • by a terminal program via the RS-232C console port. Both modes have certain advantages over each other so a user is free to choose either setup mode according to actual requirements for modem operation.
2.4.1 Rate selection guidelines Before setting the data rate you should have known the performance of the line the modems are intended for. If the line performance is unavailable, apply the following technique to select the proper data rate: • Measure resistance of the line.
E1 devices are connected to the E1-A and Е1-B ports (RJ-45 sockets, fig. 5) placed on the rear panel of the modem (fig. 2). 2.5.2 Configuring E1 interfaces In the DIP switches setup mode (SET4 is OFF) the E1 ports always have the following fixed settings: •...

The modem can transmit via DSL two entire (unchannelized) or fractional (channelized) E1 trunks with total payload up to 4096 kbps. The E1-A and Е1-B ports of the SG-16G2 modem differ in the clock synchronization. The E1-A port serves as the clock source for the for both E1-A and E1-B streams transferred through a DSL loop.
Baud rate (Bits per second) should be set to 9600 or 57600 in accordance with SET3 switch setting. Power on or reboot the modem. If the terminal has been set up properly, the following message appears on the screen: Sigrand SG-16B SHDSL modem V.2.4 Interface module M16-2G Initialization complete 3.2 General purpose commands The modem is managed by a set of commands conventionally divided into two types: the “general purpose”...

3.3.3 Line coding selection As mentioned above, different TСРАМ line coding modes are used to transmit data with different rates. Chart 1 704 Kbps TCPAM4 64 Kbps 1216 Kbps 192 Kbps TCPAM8 192 Kbps TCPAM16 3840 Kbps 6016 Kbps 256 Kbps TCPAM32 1000 2000...
If the data rate is not within the permitted range for an entered line coding mode, the following message appears: invalid line code for this rate. 3.3.4 Link statistics Use the dsl command with the stat option to view link statistics: : dsl stat DSL: Rate=512 kbit/s Code=TCPAM8 SLAVE - ONLINE TX=1341 RX=1231 ERR=1 LOSW=12 CRC6=11 RETRAIN=2 of 5...

The e1a (e1b) command allows to view the statistics and to configure the E1 interface. Execution of the command without options and arguments shows current settings of the interface: : e1a E1A: Long-Haul FRAMED CAS Code HDB3 - ONLINE : e1b E1B: Long-Haul FRAMED CAS Code AMI - OFFLINE 3.4.1 Long/Short Haul modes The short option of the E1A (E1B) command turns off the Е1 interface...
The error message follows up any attempt to enable superframing in unframed mode: : e1a crc4 Invalid option for unframed mode : e1b cas Invalid option for unframed mode Disabling superframes and frame synchronization is performed by the е1a (e1b) command with the /framed option and the /crc4 and /cas keys. : e1a E1A: Long-Haul FRAMED CRC4 CAS Code=HDB3 –...

Execution of the e1 stat command does automatic reset of any current statistics of the interface! 3.4.5 Timeslot map The G.704 E1 frame structure consists of 32 8-bit channels (so-named “timeslots”) which have been assigned numbers from 0 to 31. The timeslot 0 is used to transmit the frame alignment signal (FAS) and the additional (service) bits (Sa, Si).
Page 32
To add timeslots use the е1a (e1b) command with the map option and a key alike add N with N standing for number of an added timeslot. : e1a map add 24 E1A: Long-Haul FRAMED Code=HDB3 – ONLINE 01234567890123456789012345678901 -****************-------*------- Used timeslots: 17 Payload: 1088 kbit/s To add several timeslots specify those by a list: e1a (e1b) map add 3 4 6, or by a range: e1a map add 8-11.
Page 33
If total capacity of timeslots exceeds the DSL interface rate, the following warning appears while map examination: “Too many timeslots for this DSL rate”. To delete timeslots from the list transmission list use the map del N option with N stands for a number of deleted timeslot. To delete several timeslots specify those by a list: map del 1 2 3 or by a range: map del 7-14.
The error message appears on any attempt to change the timeslot map in unframed mode: : e1a E1A: Long-Haul UNFRAMED Code HDB3 – ONLINE : e1a map add 1-5 Invalid option for unframed mode 3.4.5.1 Timeslot 0 The timeslot 0 usually is not included in a list of transmitted timeslots since it is used for framing synchronization and carries no payload data, but its transmission demands another 64 kbps of the DSL rate.
Page 35
The timeslot 16 must be included in a list of transmitted timeslots regardless of other timeslots if equipment connected by the modems requires a channel for signaling, e.g. telco devices. : e1a map add 0 E1A: Long-Haul FRAMED Code=HDB3 – ONLINE 01234567890123456789012345678901 ---*****--------*--------------- Used timeslots: 6 Payload: 384 kbit/s...
