This feature module describes the Cisco IOS support for the octal-port DMT ATU-C (8xDMT) line card.
It includes information on new and modified commands.
This document includes the following sections:
Glossary, page 27

Feature Overview

The 8xDMT line card provides higher port density for the Cisco 6015, Cisco 6160, and Cisco 6260. This
line card:
Supports eight ADSL modem connections per card.
Converts ADSL modulation from the line card into digital data streams to and from the NI-2 card.
Negotiates the line rate with the customer premises equipment (CPE) when it trains and bases the
rate on line quality and distance.
Provides subscriber and port provisioning through DSL profiles.
Interoperates with certain CPE. For more detailed information, see the
section on page
Note
Allows single latency-Fast or interleaved path selection.

-
Supports trellis encoding.
Supports bit swapping.

4.
Check with a Cisco customer representative to verify CPE compatibility with
the 8xDMT.

This line card: Supports eight ADSL modem connections per card. • Converts ADSL modulation from the line card into digital data streams to and from the NI-2 card.
  • Page 2 Formerly, if a line trained below the configured minimum bit rate threshold, it would generate a minor alarm, but the DMT port remained active. The dmt minrate-blocking prevents DMT ports from training when bit rates fall below the configured minimum threshold specified in the dmt bitrate minimum command. Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)DA...
