This chapter introduces the Crocus SHDSL G703. The following gives an overview of this chapter:
Chapter 1 Introducing the Crocus SHDSL G703
1.1
Crocus SHDSL G703 features
The Crocus SHDSL G.703 (Symmetric High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Line) is a manageable baseband modem offering full 2,3 Mbps duplex transmission over unconditioned unshielded twisted-pair cable. A dedicated 2-pair version offers the possibility to extend the reach to longer distances or higher speeds (up to 4.6 Mbps). For extreme long distances, the equipment can fall back to a lower transmission rate, offering reduced speeds on the Fractional E1 (FE1) operation. The equipment is based on the TC-PAM (Trellis Coded Pulse Amplitude Modulation) modulation, which guarantees higher speeds and longer loop performance. It also guarantees spectral compatibility with legacy and ADSL transmission systems in the same cable bundle. The unit can be used in a point-to-point configuration, or can be used with a central solution based on card-nest 4 (CN4) or the OneAccess 2300. The Crocus SHDSL G.703 is available as a locally or remotely powered (RP) unit. The remotely powered unit can also be locally powered at -48VDC directly or by 230Vac through an external power adapter. The unit is designed for integration into demanding network environments and can be controlled by the complete set of network maintenance and management tools.

Explanation This version is a stand-alone version of the Crocus SHDSL G703. It is available with or without an LCD display and keyboard. This version is a card that has to be inserted into the CN4 card nest. The connections (power and line) are made through the CN4 card nest. This version is a card that has to be inserted into the CN4 card nest. It incorporates two Crocus SHDSL G703 modems on one card (hence the name Twin). As a result, one CN4 card nest can contain up to 30 modems. The connections (power and line) are made through the CN4 card nest. This version has to be powered with 115 or 230 Vac. This version has to be powered with -48 Vdc. This version can be powered with remote power (i.e. power coming from the central side, over the line). This version has a fixed G.703 DTE interface instead of an empty interface slot in which you can insert a modular interface. This version has a fixed RS530 DTE interface. This version is a card that has to be inserted into the CN7 card nest. The connections (power and line) are made through the CN7 card nest.

Identifying the Crocus SHDSL G703 non-RP and RP version
This manual describes both the Crocus SHDSL G703 and Crocus SHDSL G703 RP version. The front panel of the Crocus SHDSL G703 (i.e. the non-RP version) and the Crocus SHDSL G703 RP are the same. However, you can identify them by looking at the back panel: Version Crocus SHDSL G703 Back panel Crocus SHDSL G703 RP 12 Vdc power connector RJ45/BNC 12 Vdc power connector 48 Vdc power connector RJ45/BNC
For a view of the back panels of both Crocus SHDSL G703 versions, refer to 2.6 - Connecting the Crocus SHDSL G703 Table Top on page 20. The Crocus SHDSL G703 (i.e. the non-RP version) can not be powered by remote power. Only use the Crocus SHDSL G703 RP version in a remote power setup.
1.4
Power back-off
The Crocus SHDSL G703 features power back-off. Power back-off is a part of the ITU-T G.991.2 SHDSL recommendation. It reduces the maximum transmit power level if the line conditions are sufficiently good to operate at a lower transmit level. Power back-off is performed by default (no configuration attribute). During the ITU-T G.994.1 handshake, the two sides of the line mutually agree on the transmit level. The transmit level is lowered between 0 and 6 dB in steps of 1dB. Important remark When 2 devices are connected point to point using the lowest speeds, an attenuation is always needed to get into data state, despite the power back-off mechanism. Connecting the devices with a cable of 1 meter for instance will not work. For the lowest speeds, a minimum distance of 2 kilometers (simulated or not) is required between the devices.
1.5
Maintenance and management tools
The Crocus SHDSL G703 is manageable in many different ways. This section gives a quick overview of the various maintenance and management tools. Maintenance or management tool TMA Description and reference
TMA (Total Maintenance Application) is a free Windows software package with a comprehensive graphical user interface that enables you to control the OneAccess products completely. I.e. to access their configuration attributes and look at status, performance and alarm information. Refer to 4 - Maintaining the Crocus SHDSL G703 on page 41 and the TMA manual (PDF) for more information.
TMA CLI
TMA CLI (TMA Command Line Interface) enables you to use its commands in scripts in order to automate management actions. This is particularly useful in large networks. Refer to the TMA CLI manual (PDF) for more information.
ATWIN
ATWIN is a menu-driven user interface. You can read and change all attributes as with TMA, but in a more basic, textual representation using a VT100 terminal. Refer to the Maintenance tools manual (PDF) for more information.
CLI
CLI is also a Command Line Interface, although not so extensive as TMA CLI. Experienced users who are familiar with the syntax can access the OneAccess devices more quickly than with TMA or ATWIN. Refer to the Maintenance tools manual (PDF) for more information.
TMA Element Management
TMA Element Management is a management application designed to monitor large numbers of OneAccess devices. It combines the easy to use graphical interface of the stand-alone version of TMA with an event-logging application called the Element Viewer. Refer to the TMA Element Management manual (PDF/CHM) for more information.
TMA for HP OpenView
TMA for HP OpenView is the management application that runs on the widely spread network management platform HP OpenView. It combines the easy to use graphical interface of the stand-alone version of TMA with the advantages and features of HP OpenView. Refer to the TMA for HP OpenView manual (PDF) for more information.
Maintenance or management tool SNMP
Description and reference
You can manage the Crocus SHDSL G703 through SNMP using any SNMP browser. The Crocus SHDSL G703 supports MIB2 and a private MIB, including traps. The private MIB comes with your copy of TMA. After installation of the TMA data files, the private MIB file is available in directory C:\Program Files\TMA\snmp1 with the name <filename>.mib2. Refer to the documentation of your SNMP browser for more information.
Web Interface
The Web Interface is an ATWIN alike menu-driven user interface. You can read and change all attributes as with TMA, but in a more basic representation using a web browser. Refer to the Maintenance tools manual (PDF) for more information.
Easy Configurator
The Easy Configurator allows you to add HTML pages on top of the standard Web Interface by adding a set of specific files on the file system of the Crocus SHDSL G703. These files can be made either by OneAccess or by the customer itself. The goal is to offer a simple, custom made web interface which allows only to change or show those parameters that are relevant for a certain application or customer. Refer to the Maintenance tools manual (PDF) for more information.
1. The first part of the directory path may be different if you did not choose the default path during the installation of the TMA data files. 2. The filename is product dependent. To determine which MIB file corresponds with which product, refer to the models.nms file (located in C:\Program Files\TMA\model1).
1.6

Remote power operation
This section gives an overview of the remote power functionalities and indicates how to activate them. The following gives an overview of the section. 2.7.1 - What is remote power (RP)? on page 26 2.7.2 - Remote power operation overview on page 27 2.7.3 - Remote power sink operation: how to remote power the Crocus SHDSL G703 RP? on page 28
Important remarks The Crocus SHDSL G703 and RS530 (i.e. the non-RP version) can not be powered by remote power. Only use the Crocus SHDSL G703 RP and RS530 RP version in a remote power setup. When using remote power, certain limitations apply with regards to the number of Card Versions that can be inserted in the CN4, CN4-4 and CN4-2 rack; refer to 13.10 - Thermal behaviour when providing remote power on page 268. Not complying with these rules will result in irreversible damage to the device.
2.7.1
What is remote power (RP)?
Remote powering means that a local modem (RP source modem) supplies operational power over the line to a remote modem (RP sink modem). Remote powering is in accordance with the ITU-T recommendation K.15.
The RP sink modem typically is dual powered. This means that it is either powered by a local power supply or by remote power over the line. If the local power supply fails, then the RP sink modem is still powered over the line by the RP source modem. As soon as the local power supply is reactivated, the RP sink modem is powered again by this power supply.
2.7.2
Remote power operation overview
Some versions of the Crocus SHDSL family can work as remote power source, while others can only work as remote power sink. The following table gives an overview of the remote power functionality in the different Crocus SHDSL versions: Version Crocus SHDSL CV Crocus SHDSL TT Crocus SHDSL G703 TT Crocus SHDSL G703 TT RP Crocus SHDSL RS530 TT Crocus SHDSL RS530 TT RP Crocus SHDSL xP CV CN7 RP Crocus SHDSL Repeater RP source X X RP sink X X X
When using a TT device as remote power sink, no DIP switches or straps have to be adjusted in the device.
2.7.3
Remote power sink operation: how to remote power the Crocus SHDSL G703 RP?
The Crocus SHDSL G703 and RS530 (i.e. the non-RP version) can not be powered by remote power. Only use the Crocus SHDSL G703 RP and RS530 RP version in a remote power setup. The Crocus SHDSL G703 RP can be remotely powered in the following ways: A central CN4 with a Remote Power option board on a Crocus SHDSL CV Quad DXC / Crocus SHDSL CV.
For more information on how to set up remote powering in the configuration as depicted above, refer to the Crocus SHDSL CV Quad DXC manual. In this manual it is described how a Crocus SHDSL CV Quad DXC has to be configured for remote powering. A central OneAccess 2321 or 2323 with a Remote Power option board.

2.8
Using a repeater
You can use the Crocus SHDSL Repeater to increase the maximum distance between two Crocus SHDSL modems.
There are however some issues to consider when using a repeater: The customer side (C-side) of the Crocus SHDSL Repeater always slaves on the network side (Nside). This means that the LTU or central modem has to generate a clock for the N-side of the Crocus SHDSL Repeater. Therefore the LTU or central modem can not be configured in slave-receive clocking. In case you have two Crocus SHDSL G703 2P (2 pair) versions, you can not use two Crocus SHDSL Repeater 1P (1 pair) version on each line pair. This does not work.
For more information on the Crocus SHDSL Repeater, refer to the Crocus SHDSL Repeater manual. Maximum 8 Crocus SHDSL repeaters can be used on a link.

5.1
Configuring the basic line parameters

Default: remote Range: remote / central
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/channel
The channel attribute defines which modem is the central and which the remote modem. I.e. it determines which modem acts as master and which as slave during the synchronisation procedure of the modem. The default channel setting of a TT is remote, while that of a CV is central. Therefore there will never be a synchronisation problem when a CV and a TT are used in a regular set-up, the CV at the backbone side and the TT at the customer side. If two TTs are used at each end of the data link, make sure to change the channel attribute of one of the TTs into central. If two CVs are used at each end of the data link, make sure to change the channel attribute of one of the CVs into remote.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/region The region attribute defines which S-HDSL standard is used: Value annexA annexB auto Description The American S-HDSL standard is used. The European S-HDSL standard is used. The S-HDSL standard is selected automatically.

The EOC handling attribute

Default:none Range: enumerated, see below
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/eocHandling Use the eocHandling attribute to define the handling of the EOC messages. The eocHandling attribute has the following values: Value passive Description
In this mode, the Crocus SHDSL G703 will never send any spontaneous standard EOC messages. It will only answer to standard EOC requests coming from the other side. Also, after getting into datastate, no OneAccess specific EOC data will be sent the first 2 minutes, unless the device has received a OneAccess specific frame from the other side (e.g. o10 data, or a test or configuration frame). Use this value when the Crocus SHDSL G703 is connected to the 2300.
none
The Crocus SHDSL G703 does not send any spontaneous EOC requests, except for discovery probes, they are still sent. The Crocus SHDSL G703 will also answer to EOC requests coming from other SHDSL devices. The Crocus SHDSL G703 "scans" the SHDSL line. For every device it discovers, it adds an object to the containment tree. Refer to 5.2.3 - Discovering devices on the SHDSL line on page 60. Then the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrieves information from these devices and displays it in the corresponding objects. Exactly which information is retrieved depends on the setting of the eocHandling attribute. Refer to 5.2.4 - EOC retrieved information on page 60. Also in this case the Crocus SHDSL G703 "scans" the SHDSL line, adds the objects to the containment tree and retrieves information from the devices. Refer to 5.2.3 - Discovering devices on the SHDSL line on page 60 and 5.2.4 - EOC retrieved information on page 60. Additionally, the central1 SHDSL device forces the remote2 SHDSL device and any intermediary repeater to use the link alarm thresholds lineAttenuation and signalNoise as configured on the central device in the attribute line/linkAlarmThresholds. In other words, the settings of the lineAttenuation and signalNoise on the central device overrule those of the remote device and repeaters. Refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linkAlarmThresholds on page 140 for more information.

5.2.3
Discovering devices on the SHDSL line
When you change the eocHandling attribute from none to any other value, the Crocus SHDSL G703 starts "scanning" the SHDSL line in order to determine which devices are present between itself and its remote counterpart. When the scan is finished, some new objects are added to the containment tree on the same level as the line object: If one or more repeaters are present on the SHDSL line, a repeater[ ] object is added for every repeater. For the remote counterpart, an end object is added.
The new objects are not added instantaneously. It can take up to 5 minutes before these objects appear in the containment tree. For example, suppose you have a link with a Crocus SHDSL G703 as central device, a 1421 SHDSL Router as remote device and one Crocus SHDSL G703 Repeater in between. Suppose you set the eocHandling attribute to discovery. In that case the one repeater[ ] object and an end object is added to the containment tree as can be seen in the screenshot:
The first discovered repeater will have id 3, the second one will have id 4, etc.

Configuring the timing mode

Default:plesiochronous Range: synchronous / plesiochronous
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/timingMode Use the timingMode attribute to set the timing mode. The Crocus SHDSL G703 has two clock sources: one takes care of the clocking on the SHDSL line. one takes care of the clocking on the modular user interface.
Using the timingMode attribute you can define whether these two clocks run independent from each other (i.e. plesiochronous mode) or whether they are "coupled" with each other (i.e. synchronous mode). The timingMode attribute has the following values: Value plesiochronous Description In this mode each SHDSL frame has 0 or 4 stuffing bits to compensate clock deviations towards the user interface clock. In this mode, all possible clocking modes can be selected. In this mode the SHDSL frame does not have stuffing bits to compensate clock deviations towards the user interface clock. In this case only internal and slave receive clocking is allowed. What is more, internal clocking is only allowed at one side of the link (e.g. the central side) and slave receive clocking at the other side (e.g. the remote side). Synchronous mode is the typical timing mode in DSLAM set-ups.
synchronous
If you set the framing attribute to framed, then the Crocus SHDSL G703 always operates in plesiochronous mode regardless of the setting of the timingMode attribute. You always have to work in the same timing mode at both sides of the link. In other words: central: synchronous - remote: synchronous allowed central: plesiochronous - remote: plesiochronous allowed central: synchronous - remote: plesiochronous or vice versa not allowed

Clocking of Crocus devices to access PDH and SDH networks
This section explains the principles of network clocking and is a guideline for configuring the Crocus SHDSL G703 to interface to the carrier networks. A good knowledge and understanding about clocking mechanisms is essential to correctly build error free synchronous networks, connecting end users to PDH and SDH infrastructures. As this section gives a general explanation about clocking, section 5.5 - Configuring the clocking mode on page 82 actually describes how to configure the clocking mode on the Crocus SHDSL G703. The following gives an overview of this section: 5.4.1 - Introduction on page 66 5.4.2 - Network clocking principles on page 67 5.4.3 - The Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) networks on page 68 5.4.4 - The Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) networks on page 70 5.4.5 - Access to PDH networks on page 73 5.4.6 - Access to SDH networks on page 76 5.4.7 - Synchronous interfaces on page 80
5.4.1
Introduction
Since transmission and switching in carrier networks has become digital, network synchronisation has an increasing importance in telecommunications. Basically there was no need for network synchronisation to interconnect analogue switching machines over digital transport networks. Transmission equipment based on the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) must not be synchronised, it allows multiplexing of asynchronous channels with substantial frequency offsets using the bit justification technique. When digital switching machines such as ISDN exchanges and cross-connect switches were introduced, problems arose with asynchronous architectures as PDH because digital switching equipment requires to be synchronised in order to avoid slips. By the introduction of the circuit switched data networks, there was a need of more stringent synchronisation requirements. In the 90s, the ongoing spreading of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) technology in transmission networks has created a need for adequate network synchronisation facilities. For this reason, network operators have set up synchronisation networks. In this section, clocking principles for access to and data transfer over PDH and SDH transmission networks are explained.
5.4.2
Network clocking principles
Central clock To guarantee good synchronisation in digital networks, all network elements are synchronised to a central 2.048 kHz clock with long term accuracy. This central clock is generated by a high precision Primary Reference Clock (PRC) with an accuracy of 1x10-11 or better with verification to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.811. A PRC can be realised as an autonomous clock or can be controlled by UTC-derived precision signals received from a radio or satellite system (GPS). Hierarchical structure To distribute this clock through the network, a hierarchical structure is defined in ITU-T standards G.812 & G.813. Refer to the following figure:
The PRC is transported via the clock network to the slave units. This clock signal is regenerated in the SSUs and SECs with the aid of phase-locked loops (PLLs). If the clock supply fails, the slave unit applies the stored frequency correction to keep a relatively accurate clock signal. The clock signal paths through the network can be the same as those used for the data transport. Station clock Modern synchronisation networks are based on the concept of a building clock, this is a slave clock unit as the SSUs and SECs, that supplies timing to all the equipment deployed in that location, including digital exchanges, cross-connects, terminal equipment and multiplexers. This clock signal is what we call station clock.
5.4.3
The Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) networks
Asynchronous tributaries PDH systems allow multiplexing of asynchronous tributaries with substantial frequency offsets based on bit justification. Therefore PDH networks do not need to be synchronised. Every equipment clock is independent from the others, but their frequencies are kept close to the nominal values within a specified tolerance (for example: +/- 50 ppm at 2 Mbit/s). PDH systems are transparent to the timing content of the transported digital signals. This means that, despite the fact that the multiplexer clocks are independent, the transported signal keeps its frequency, only gathering some jitter due to transmission lines and justification. The bit justification technique allows to transfer the timing content of a digital signal across a transmission chain where clocks are asynchronous, as shown in the figure below.
Timing Because E1 signals coming from PCM multiplexers or cross connect switches need to be synchronised to avoid slips, this equipment is enslaved to a master clock, delivered by a Primary Reference Clock (PRC) via the clock synchronisation network. The synchronous E1 signals are multiplexed into asynchronous E2 and further on in E3 and E4 signals. E2, E3 and E4 are asynchronous multiplex signals with the 2M timing signal embedded. This allows transferring 2 Mbps timing across PDH networks to synchronise clocks located in far locations.
Gateways By the introduction of the PDH infrastructure, two different multiplex stages were defined: one based on a primary rate of 2 Mbit/s and one based on 1,5 Mbit/s as used in North America and Japan. Gateways between these networks were very difficult and expensive to realize. Disadvantages Inherent to plesiochronous transport is the generation of important jitter and wander at the tributary interfaces. Another disadvantage of PDH is that, once multiplexed, there is no simple way to extract an E1 bearer without fully demultiplexing down from the E4 level towards E1, requiring a complete hierarchy of multiplexers.
5.4.4
The Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) networks
SDH hierarchy To eliminate the disadvantages of the PDH infrastructure, the SDH hierarchy was developed, bringing the following advantages: high transmission rates, up to 10 Gbit/s over fiber optic links more efficient and flexible add & drop function high availability, reliability and robustness multi-service platform: able to handle PSTN, ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, IP, etc. interfaces are globally standardized, easier to interconnect carriers
The basic SDH frame is called a Synchronous Transport Module (STM-N), in which heterogeneous asynchronous and synchronous tributary channels as PDH and ATM can be mapped. Frame speeds can be between 52 Mbit/s and 10 Gbit/s. The basic package unit for tributary channels is the container C-n. For each PDH speed a special container is provided. These containers are much larger than the payload to be transported, the remaining capacity is used for justification.
Network elements Current SDH networks are build with four different types of network elements: regenerators: regenerate the clock and amplitude relationships of the incoming data signals.
terminal multiplexers: combine asynchronous and synchronous input signals into higher bit rate STMN signals.
add & drop multiplexers: asynchronous and lower speed synchronous signals can be extracted from or inserted into higher speed SDH bitstreams.
digital cross-connects (DXC): allows mapping of PDH channels in SDH virtual containers as well as switching of various containers.
Synchronisation In networks using SDH transport infrastructure, not only primary rate multiplexers and switching equipment are synchronized, but also the nodes of the SDH transport network, limiting jitter and wander generation at the interfaces.
Redundant ring structures SDH infrastructures typically are hybrid communication networks, build in redundant ring structures with various asynchronous and synchronous tributaries as in the example below.
5.4.5
Access to PDH networks
Synchronisation on the same clock As the 2 Mbps and Nx64 Kbps signals in the PDH networks are synchronized on the 2.048 kHz Primary Reference Clock, also all access devices must be synchronized on the same clock. This can be done by applying the network clock to the station clock input of the devices or by operating in external clock. Therefore these interfaces are synchronous, allowing transporting clock from one device to another. Clock signals can be transferred separately from the data signals (e.g. station clock) or can be encoded in the data, as done in the G.703 interfaces which are typically used to connect to PDH/SDH infrastructures.
Accessing PDH networks - examples Example 1: typical Nx64 Kbps connections
Typical Nx64 Kbps connections to a PDH infrastructure are shown below. As the backbone imposes the clock, the equipment connected to the network necessarily operates in external or station clock, the end points in slave receive. In external clock, the modem clock is derived from the incoming G.703 signal, in case of station clock, the clock signal is transferred separately.
Example 2: accessing PDH networks using a Crocus SHDSL QUAD DXC
The Crocus SHDSL QUAD DXC is perfectly suitable to be used in PDH environment as it can use the station clock or can slave on one of the four E1 interfaces. The most convenient configuration is to use the station clock as master and fallback to the E1 interfaces if the station clock fails.
If no station clock is available, the QUAD has to search for a clock on the E1 interfaces as shown in the next picture.
5.4.6
Access to SDH networks
Asynchronous or synchronous Channel inputs on Add & Drop Multiplexers in SDH networks can be asynchronous or synchronous. The most common way to connect PDH tributaries to ADMs is asynchronous, also for the 2.048 Kbps signals, without giving a clock at his interfaces. This implicates that, when we interconnect two end-users over a SDH backbone, the clock must be generated by other means. This can be the station clock, derived from the PRC, or an internal clock generator from one of the transmission devices, such as modems, or by the end user application. This clock generator must operate within the required specifications regarding accuracy and stability, for example +/- 50 ppm at 2.048 Kbps. Typical 2 Mbit/s connections Some typical 2 Mbit/s connections to a SDH infrastructure are shown below. It is clear that the clock configuration at the end-points depends on the type of used interfaces and the end-user equipment.
Modems with integrated cross-connect functionalities Special attention must be paid in case modems with integrated cross-connect functionalities are used. As a DXC supports only one clock to synchronize all ports, all modems connected to the DXC must use this same clock. In this case the use of the station clock is strongly advised. Refer to the figure below for an example.
Accessing SDH networks - examples Below some examples of topologies to access SDH networks are given, using different types of access equipment. To keep the drawings orderly, the ADM symbols are skipped. It must be clear that these drawings are just some examples and do not exclude many other clock configurations and combinations in access topologies. Example 1: accessing SDH networks using the Crocus SHDSL QUAD DXC
When using the Crocus SHDSL QUAD DXC, only one clock can be used by all interfaces of this card. As shown below, this clock can be the station clock or the internal clock. All end-to-end connections running over the QUAD are slaved on this clock: Using the station clock:
Using the internal clock:
As in an SDH network the connections are made to an ADM and not to a DXC, clock slaving on the E1 ports of the SHDSL QUAD is not recommended and this also means that end-user equipment should not generate the clock.
Example 2: accessing SDH networks using a Crocus SHDSL CV or 2300
In case a Crocus SHDSL CV or 2300 is installed, each interface may have an independent clocking, allowing end-user equipment to generate the clock. Using a Crocus SHDSL CV:
Using a 2300:
5.4.7
Synchronous interfaces
Data transfer On a synchronous interface, data transfer between DTE and DCE is done at the rhythm of a clock signal. This timing signal is used to sample the transmit data in the transmitter of the DCE. The transmitter also uses this timing signal to modulate his carrier in case of a voice band modem or to encode the data in case of a baseband modem. This means that the clock frequency of the transmit clock is transported by the line signal to the remote end. The transport of the synchronous user data over the link can be synchronous or plesiochronous.
In the receiver at the remote end, the line signal is demodulated or decoded and receive clock is derived from the received line signal. By doing this, the receive clock has the same frequency as the transmit clock at the other side of the link. In this way the transmitter at one side and the receiver at the other side of the link are perfectly synchronized.
Exchange of clock signals The way clock signals are exchanged between DTE and DCE depends on the type of interface: V24, V35, V36, RS530, HSSI: these interfaces have separated clock signals to synchronize transmit (TxClk or ExClk) and receive (RxClk) data:
X21 interface uses only one clock signal (S or X) to synchronize both transmit and receive data:
G703 interface uses codirectional timing, this means that clock information is encoded in the data signal:

Configuring the clocking mode
This section explains how to configure the clocking mode on the Crocus SHDSL G703. It also explains how the auto clocking mechanism works. The following gives an overview of this section. 5.5.1 - Configuring the clocking mode on the Crocus SHDSL G703 on page 83 5.5.2 - Schematic overview of the different clocking modes for G703 type of interfaces on page 84 5.5.3 - Possible clocking modes versus DTE interface on page 86

The following table gives an overview: Clocking mode internal Description The Crocus SHDSL G703 generates the transmit clock signal and sends it to the application via the R circuit. Internal clocking mode implies that the applications on both sides of the link should be in slave receive clocking mode. In other words, there can be only one master clock in a G703 system. The application takes its timing from the network. The extracted clock is sent together with the TxD over the T circuit to the DCE. If no valid receive clock is found while in external clock mode, the modem switches to internal clock mode. Default:external Range: internal/external
external
5.5.2
Schematic overview of the different clocking modes for G703 type of interfaces
One encoded signal As G703 interfaces are codirectional interfaces, they transport both data and clock in the same encoded signal. On this way they can transport clock information from a higher network level to a lower network level in the digital hierarchy. For this reason, the default configuration of G703 interfaces is external clock. G703 interfaces are typically used to give access to carrier backbones and to interconnect backbone equipment such as cross-connect switches (DXC), TDM multiplexers and PABXs in PDH infrastructures. In these networks, only one master clock is allowed to synchronize all devices at the E1 level (2.048 kbps). Crocus SHDSL TT vs. Crocus SHDSL CV On a Crocus table-top modem, the G703 interface can be configured for internal or external clock operation. A card version modem also supports the use of a station clock that can be applied via the backplane of the cardnest. When station clock is selected, also a backup clock can be provided in case the station clock is not present. Clock functionalities Depending on the type of equipment, the clock functionalities can differ: when multiple modems and multiple interfaces are available on the same device, there is a main difference in clock functionalities depending on the fact of a DXC feature is present or not. If no DXC is present, the clocking on all interfaces is independent and so we may have different clocking on each interface (Crocus SHDSL TWIN, 2300). In case a DXC is present only one clock is allowed for all interfaces (Crocus SHDSL QUAD DXC).

Configuring the minimum line speed
This section starts with an important remark on setting the minimum line pair speed. Then it explains how to configure a minimum line speed and what the purpose is of doing this. The following gives an overview of this section: 5.6.1 - Important remark on the minimum line pair speed on page 88 5.6.2 - The minimum line pair speed attribute on page 89 5.6.3 - Purpose of the minimum line pair speed on page 92
5.6.1
Important remark on the minimum line pair speed
If you configure the minimum line pair speed (i.e. you set the minLinePairSpeed attribute to any value different from <opt>), then only one master clock is allowed in the system. In other words, only the following clocking combinations are allowed: One side internal external external station Other side always slave receive slave receive external (provided the application on both sides use the same network clock) station or slave receive
Executing an ET test on both sides will not work in case both sides change their clocking modes to internal! Example The following is a perfectly legal set-up as long as the minimum line pair speed is not configured (i.e. minLinePairSpeed = <opt>):
clocking = internalPreferred speed = 640kbps minLinePairSpeed = <opt>
clocking = internalPreferred speed = 640kbps minLinePairSpeed = <opt>
However, if you set the minimum line pair speed to a value higher than the user speed, then the SHDSL line operates in slotted E1 mode. In that case, only one master clock is allowed in the system. So you would have to change the configuration to, for example:
clocking = internalPreferred speed = 640kbps minLinePairSpeed = 1024kbps
clocking = slaveRcvPreferred speed = 640kbps minLinePairSpeed = 1024kbps
In these general examples, serial interfaces are used, but the principle stays the same for G703 interfaces.
5.6.2
The minimum line pair speed attribute
Also see 5.6.1 - Important remark on the minimum line pair speed on page 88. The location of the minimum line pair speed attribute in the Crocus SHDSL G703 containment tree is: crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/minLinePairSpeed Use the minLinePairSpeed attribute to determine what the minimum speed on the line pair has to be when the Crocus SHDSL G703 trains. The purpose of this is: To be able to set the line speed independently from the user speed. This allows easy upgrading to a higher user speed. To be able to use less than 3 time slots (or 6 time slots on a 2 pair version). Default:<opt> Range: 192kbps up to 2048kbps (in steps of 64kbps)
The minLinePairSpeed attribute has the following values: Value <opt> Description The line speed follows the user speed. For example, if the user speed is set to 640 kbps (speed(2P) = 640kbps), then the speed on the line pair equals 192kbps up to 2048kbps (in steps of 64kbps) 640 kbps in case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 1P (1 pair) version. 320 kbps on each line pair in case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 2P (2 pair) version.
The line speed no longer follows the user speed. The line trains on the speed as set with the minLinePairSpeed attribute. For example, if the user speed is set to 640 kbps (speed(2P) = 640kbps) and the minimum line speed is set to 1024 kbps (minLinePairSpeed = 1024kbps), then the speed on the line pair(s) equals 1024 kbps. (On a Crocus SHDSL G703 1P (1 pair) version this is also the total line speed. On a Crocus SHDSL G703 2P (2 pair) version, however, the total line speed then is 2048 kbps since the minLinePairSpeed attribute sets, as the name implies, the minimum speed on the line pair.) Remark Note that the maximum total line speed that you can set using the minLinePairSpeed attribute is 2048 kbps. So for a Crocus SHDSL G703 1P (1 pair) version you can set the minLinePairSpeed attribute to its maximum value (being 2048 kbps). For a Crocus SHDSL G703 2P (2 pair) version, however, you can only set it up to 1024 kbps (which is a total line speed of 2048 kbps). If you nevertheless set the minLinePairSpeed attribute to a value higher than 1024 kbps, then a message is displayed in the messages table and the Crocus SHDSL G703 2P continues to operate with a total line speed of 2048 kbps.
Make sure that you set the minLinePairSpeed attribute to the same value on both the central and remote SHDSL device. When using the minLinePairSpeed attribute on the central or remote SHDSL device, the user speed of the other device may not be set to autospeed.
5.6.3
Purpose of the minimum line pair speed
Easily upgrading the user speed You could determine in advance what the maximum speed is that can be achieved on the line (e.g. 1024 kbps) and set the minimum line pair speed to this value (e.g. minLinePairSpeed = 1024kbps). Suppose the customer initially wants 256 kbps. So you set the user speed to 256 kbps (speed(2P) = 256kbps). Now when the customer decides he wants a higher user speed (e.g. 640kbps), then you can easily change the user speed to this higher speed (e.g. speed(2P) = 640kbps) without first having to determine again whether the line can handle this speed. What is more, the line does not have to retrain after you changed the user speed. So you can perform user speed upgrades in an easy, cost-efficient way. Low speed operation - compatibility with other SHDSL devices If you want to use only 1 or 2 time slots (or 2 or 4 time slots in case of a 2 pair version), then you have to set the minimum line pair speed to 192 kbps (minLinePairSpeed = 192kbps). This to insure correct time slot synchronisation on both sides. Low speed operation - 2 time slots and 2 applications If you want to use only 2 time slots (or 4 time slots in case of a 2 pair version) and each time slot carries the data of a different application, then you also have to set the minimum line pair speed to 192 kbps (minLinePairSpeed = 192kbps). This to insure that on the remote side the data is separated correctly. The reason is the following: In case you select only 2 time slots (or 4 time slots in case of a 2 pair version) but you do not configure the minimum line pair speed (minLinePairSpeed = <opt>), then the SHDSL line operates in Nx64 mode (refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/framerType on page 166 for more information on this mode). Since in this case the user data has become a continuous bit stream on the SHDSL line, it is almost impossible to correctly separate the data from the two different applications at the remote end. In case you select only 2 time slots (or 4 time slots in case of a 2 pair version) but you configure the minimum line pair speed to be 192 kbps (minLinePairSpeed = 192kbps), then the SHDSL line operates in slotted E1 mode (refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/framerType on page 166 for more information on this mode). Since in this case the user data is also put in time slots on the SHDSL line, it is perfectly possible to separate the data from the two different applications at the remote end.

Configuring framing and time slots
This section explains how to select the framing mode and how to allocate time slots on a Crocus SHDSL G703. The following gives an overview of this section: 5.7.1 - Selecting unframed or framed mode on page 94 5.7.2 - Selecting the time slots on page 95 5.7.3 - Time slot transposition on page 96
5.7.1
Selecting unframed or framed mode

Default:unframed Range: framed / auto / unframed
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/framing Use the framing attribute to select between unframed or framed mode: Value unframed Description
In unframed (or transparent) mode, a 2 Mbps data stream is sent transparently over the line. The attributes timeSlots and crc4Insertion are of no use in unframed mode.
framed
In framed (G.704 framing) mode and in case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 1P (1 pair), up to 32 time slots each containing a 64 kbps data stream can be sent over the line. Each 64 kbps time slot can be enabled or disabled. Crocus SHDSL G703 2P (2 pair), up to 16 time slots pairs together containing a 128 kbps data stream can be sent over the line. Each 128 kbps time slot pair can be enabled or disabled. I.e. you always have to select an even number of time slots. E.g. 2, 4, 10, etc.
Remark If you set the framing attribute to framed, then the Crocus SHDSL G703 always operates in plesiochronous mode regardless of the setting of the timingMode attribute.
auto
If after the training sequence the chosen line speed is 2 Mbps, then the G703 interface automatically works in unframed mode. lower than 2 Mbps, then the G703 interface automatically works in framed mode. Which timeslots will be used, depends on the line speed and the timeslots configured in the timeslot attribute: If the line speed is lower than the configured timeslots, then the corresponding number of timeslots starting from the lowest configured will be used. If the line speed is higher than or equal to the configured timeslots, only the configured timeslots will be active.
In all cases the timeslot attribute in the status group reflects the timeslots used. Important remark In case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 2P (2 pair) version, set the framing attribute of either the central or remote Crocus SHDSL G703 to auto, but not of both. Else the 2 line pairs could train at a different speed which is not allowed. The number of selected timeslots must be higher then or equal to the line speed to have a good configuration.
5.7.2
Selecting the time slots

Default:ts0=1, other ts=0 Range: enumerated, see below
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/timeSlots Use the timeSlots attribute to enable or disable the individual 64 kbps time slots in the framed data stream. By default, timeslot 0 is disabled and timeslots 1 up to 31 are enabled. Important remark
Do not enable time slot 0 in the local Crocus SHDSL G703 and a non-G703 interface in the remote Crocus SHDSL G703. The Crocus SHDSL G703 does not work on line speeds 64 and 128 kbps (i.e. 1 and 2 time slots) in case of a 1 pair version. 128 and 256 (i.e. 2 and 4 time slots) in case of a 2 pair version.
When line speeds 64 or 128 kbps are selected, the modem will train on 192 kbps (3 time slots). So when one timeslot is selected, the line will train on 192 kbps and there will be two dummy time slots added on the line. When line speeds 64 or 128 kbps are selected, the modem will train on 192 kbps (3 time slots), while only one timeslot can be selected on the G703 interface. When an ET test is started at the side where auto framing (with all timeslots enabled) is set, the pattern of the ET test will be placed in 3 timeslots, and not in the one selected timeslot.
5.7.3
Time slot transposition
If at both sides of the link a G703 Nx64k interface is used, it is possible to perform a time slot transposition. Such a transposition is realised by setting the G703 Nx64k in framed mode and enabling at both sides the time slots which have to be transposed. The first time slot at the local side will be put in the first time slot at the remote side, the second in the second, and so on. Example:
framed mode TS6, TS12, TS25 = 1 all other time slots = 0
framed mode TS10, TS16, TS26 = 1 all other time slots = 0
In this example, TS6 of the local Crocus SHDSL G703 is put in TS10 of the remote Crocus SHDSL G703, TS12 in TS16 and TS25 in TS26. A similar mechanism exists in the receive direction. The following figure shows the time slot transposition mechanism:
5.8
Low speed limitations on the G703 interfaces
When configuring low speed on the G703 interfaces, there are some limitations. The following tables give an overview of the possible speeds on the G703 interfaces while combining different G703 interfaces. The first table gives all the combinations for the 1 pair SHDSL devices, while the second table gives the combinations for the 2 pair SHDSL devices. 1 Pair version 1 Pair version Crocus SHDSL G703 G703 Crocus SHDSL G703 +G703 Nx64K N=3,4, 32 Crocus SHDSL G703 +Dual Port if Crocus SHDSL G703 +Nx64K if 1421 SHDSL Router in plesiochronous mode N=3,4, 32 1421 SHDSL Router in synchronous mode 2M fixed (unframed)

Configuring the interface specific attributes

Default:hdb3 Range: ami / hdb3
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/coding Use the coding attribute to set the G703 interface encoding mode. Possible values are: Value ami hdb3 Description
Alternate Mark Inversion is selected. This is a bipolar code with no zero substitution. High Density Bipolar 3 is selected. This is a modified bipolar code.With HDB3 encoding, more than three consecutive zeroes occurring in the data are replaced by a substitution word. This to ensure a high pulse density. Therefore, data links using the HDB3 code can carry data patterns with a low 1 density. Most of the G703 applications use HDB3 encoding.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/crc4Insertion This attribute is only relevant in framed mode.
Default:auto Range: enumerated, see below
Use the crc4Insertion attribute to determine whether the CRC-4 (cyclic redundancy check) is recalculated before sending it to the interface. The CRC is used to check the data integrity on the G.703 connection. The crc4Insertion attribute has the following possible values: Value auto Description In auto mode, CRC-4 insertion is disabled enabled disabled if the data is unframed, enabled if the data is G.704 framed.
CRC-4 insertion is disabled. CRC-4 insertion is enabled.
5.10
Configuring the management attributes
This section explains the management attributes of the Crocus SHDSL G703. These attributes allow you to make all the devices in your network accessible for management from one central location. First this section gives you some rules of thumb and remarks concerning the management of the Crocus SHDSL G703 in a network. Then it explains the attributes that have an impact on the management of the Crocus SHDSL G703. Finally, it gives some examples of networks and how to configure the Crocus SHDSL G703 to make it accessible for the central management system. The following gives an overview of this section: 5.10.1 - Rules of thumb and remarks concerning management on page 100 5.10.2 - Using relative or absolute addressing on page 101 5.10.3 - Selecting the purpose of the control connector on page 102 5.10.4 - Forwarding management data to the line and control connector on page 103 5.10.5 - Configuring the management data on the line on page 105 5.10.6 - Configuring the management data on a G703 interface on page 106 5.10.7 - Example - management over the line and the control port on page 107 5.10.8 - Example - management over the line and the E1 interface on page 109
5.10.1 Rules of thumb and remarks concerning management

The following lists some rules of thumb concerning the management of OneAccess devices in a network: Make sure there is only one path towards the management system. Else you might get unexpected results (e.g. devices that do not answer to polling, answer of several devices at once when polling one device, etc.). Once your network starts to become complex on management level (i.e. more than just in-line connections as depicted in Relative addressing on page 101), you are advised to use absolute addressing instead of relative addressing (refer to Absolute addressing on page 101). In practice, it is best to use absolute addressing when you configure one of the attributes listed below as follows: ctrlPortProtocol attribute to management, g703/saBits to anything else than transparent.
Changing the ctrlPortProtocol attribute causes the Crocus SHDSL G703 to reboot. When sending management information to the three management interfaces (the line, the G703 interface using SA bits, and the CTRL port), a problem may occur. Due to insufficient processing power of the Crocus SHDSL G703, it could occur that a device connected to the Crocus SHDSL G703 cannot be reached anymore (on management level). Conclusion is that sending management information to the three management interfaces simultaneously is not possible, due to lack of processing power of the Crocus SHDSL G703.
5.10.2 Using relative or absolute addressing

In order to connect with TMA to the Crocus SHDSL G703 (refer to 4.1 - Starting TMA on the Crocus SHDSL G703 on page 42), you can use two addressing schemes: Address type relative Description This type of addressing is meant for a network topology where the devices are connected in-line on management level. I.e. with extended management connections* between two devices. To enable relative addressing, no address has to be specified in the device. In other words, you can leave the cms2Address attribute at its default value, being 0. Relative addressing
Remark * An extended management connection is realised with a crossed cable between the control connectors of the two OneAccess devices. You also have to set the ctrlPortProtocol attribute to the value management. absolute This type of addressing is meant for a network topology where the devices are not connected in-line on management level. I.e. when there is a digital multipoint device present (e.g. the Orchid DM). To enable absolute addressing, an address has to be specified in the device. Do this using the cms2Address attribute. The absolute addressing range goes from 1 up to 65535. Refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/management/cms2Address on page 152. Absolute addressing
5.10.3 Selecting the purpose of the control connector

crocusShdslTtRpG703/management/ctrlPortProtocol Default:console Range: management / console
The setting of the ctrlPortProtocol attribute depends on what you connect to the control connector of the Crocus SHDSL G703. This is explained in the following table: Value management Description
Select this value if you want to connect the control connector of the Crocus SHDSL G703 to a management concentrator (e.g. the Orchid 1003 LAN or 1035 Orchid) for management purposes. the control connector of another OneAccess device using a crossed cable (i.e. back-to-back) in order to create an extended management link. For more information on extended management links, refer to Relative addressing on page 101 and Forwarding management information on page 103).
When connecting the control connector of the Crocus SHDSL G703 to a COM port of your computer, you can still open a TMA session on the Crocus SHDSL G703. However, you can not open a CLI or ATWIN session console Select this value if you want to connect the control connector of the Crocus SHDSL G703 to a COM port of your computer in order to manage the Crocus SHDSL G703 locally using TMA, CLI or ATWIN.
5.10.4 Forwarding management data to the line and control connector

crocusShdslTtRpG703/forwardTmaToCtrlPort Default:enabled Range: disabled / enabled
Enables or disables propagation of management information to the control port. This allows you to cascade management information through the control port towards another OneAccess device. The forwardTmaToCtrlPort attribute is only present on the TT. crocusShdslTtRpG703/forwardTmaToLine Enables or disables propagation of management information to the line. Default:enabled Range: disabled / enabled
If forwardTmaToLine is enabled, management data is sent over the line via a dedicated management channel towards the remote Crocus SHDSL. To determine which management data is forwarded over the line, refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/management on page 142. If forwardTmaToLine is disabled, O10 management data can still be passed over the line: disabling forwardTmaToLine is not enough to avoid management loops. Forwarding management information The management system has been designed to provide access not only to the local Crocus SHDSL G703, but also to all remote Crocus SHDSL G703s or other OneAccess devices in a network.
If the attribute forwardTmaToLine is enabled on Crocus SHDSL G703 1, then management information can be propagated over the line (via a dedicated management channel) from Crocus SHDSL G703 1 in site A to Crocus SHDSL G703 2 in site B. If the attribute forwardTmaToCtrlPort is enabled on Crocus SHDSL G703 2 and if the control connector of Crocus SHDSL G703 2 is connected with a crossed cable (i.e. back-to-back) to the control connector of Crocus SHDSL G703 3, then the management information can also be propagated to Crocus SHDSL G703 3. If the attribute forwardTmaToLine is enabled on Crocus SHDSL G703 3, then the management information can even be propagated to the remote of Crocus SHDSL G703 3. Etceteras.
5.10.5 Configuring the management data on the line

crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/management Default:o10-PathManagement Range: enumerated, see below
Use the management attribute to determine whether and which management data is forwarded over the line (also refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/forwardTmaToLine on page 128 to enable or disable propagation of management information to the line). The management attribute has the following possible values: Value transparent o10Management Description No management data is forwarded over the SHDSL line. The data is passed transparently over the line. This forwards the proprietary OneAccess O10 protocol over the SHDSL line. This allows you to manage the remote SHDSL device (and possibly other OneAccess devices connected to the SHDSL device). This forwards path management information over the SHDSL line. This allows you to manage complete paths instead of managing individual devices (i.e. elements).For more information on path management, refer to the TMA Path Management manual. This forwards both the proprietary OneAccess O10 protocol as the path management information over the SHDSL line.
pathManagement
o10-PathManagement
5.10.6 Configuring the management data on a G703 interface

crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/saBits Default:PathManagement Range: enumerated, see below
Use the saBits attribute to determine whether and which management data is inserted in the SA-bits. If management data is inserted in the SA-bits, then it is inserted in SA registers SA5, SA7 and SA8. SA4 is used as a control register and contains bandwidth information. The saBits attribute has the following possible values: Value transparent o10Management Description No management data is inserted in the SA-bits. The SA-bits are passed transparently. This inserts the proprietary OneAccess O10 protocol in the SA-bits. This allows you to forward management data over the G703 interface in a similar way as you can over the line or the control port. This allows more flexibility in managing your network of OneAccess devices. This inserts path management information in the SA-bits. This allows you to manage complete paths instead of managing individual devices (i.e. elements). For more information on path management, refer to the Path Management manual. o10-PathManagement This insert both the proprietary OneAccess O10 protocol as the path management information in the SA-bits.
pathManagement
Note that forwarding management data over the G703 interface can be very slow. The speed lies between 200 and 2400 bps.
5.10.7 Example - management over the line and the control port
In the network depicted on the previous page, the control ports of the modems that reside in the same site are connected to each other. By doing so (and by setting the appropriate attributes as seen on the previous page), the management data can pass from one device to another, not only over the line but also over the control port. Special points of interest in this network are: You have to enable internalDmm on CV 1, because the management data has to be able to pass from modem B to modem A. By doing so, you are able to forward management data over the line to TT 3, control port to CV 2 (on a CV the control port is "linked" to modem A).
You have to enable internalDmm on CV 2, because the management data has to be able to pass from modem A to modem B. By doing so, you are able to forward management data over the line to both CV 3 modem A and B. You have to disable internalDmm on CV 3, else you have two possible paths towards the management system for CV 3. E.g. if you would enable internalDmm, then modem A could contact the management system either over the line and then through CV 2 modem A etc. or through CV 3 modem B, over the line and then through CV2 modem B etc.
In this case, you might get unexpected results. Therefore, make sure there is only one path towards the management system! You have to enable internalDmm on CV 4, because the management data has to be able to pass from modem A to modem B. By doing so, you are able to forward management data over the line to both CV 5 modem A and B. You have to disable internalDmm on CV 5, else you have two possible paths towards the management system for CV 5. Make sure there is only one path towards the management system!
5.10.8 Example - management over the line and the E1 interface
In the network depicted on the previous page, the E1 interfaces of the modems that reside in the same site are connected to each other. By doing so (and by setting the appropriate attributes as seen on the previous page), the management data can pass from one device to another, not only over the line but also over the E1 interface. Special points of interest in this network are: On TT 2 and TT 4, you have to set the saBits to o10Management or o10-pathManagement. By doing so, you are able to forward management data over the E1 interface connection between TT 2 and TT 4. On TT 3, however, you have to set the saBits to transparent, because on CV 1 internalDmm is enabled. Else you have two possible paths towards the management system for CV 1 and all modems after CV 1: one path through TT 3, one path through TT4.
In this case, you might get unexpected results. Therefore, make sure there is only one path towards the management system! You have to enable internalDmm on CV 1, because the management data has to be able to pass from modem B to modem A. By doing so, you are able to forward management data over the line to TT 3, E1 interface connection between CV 1 modem A and CV 2 modem A.
On modem A of both CV 1 and CV 2, you have to set the saBits to o10Management or o10-pathManagement. By doing so, you are able to forward management data over the E1 interface connection between modem A of CV 1 and CV 2. On modem B of both CV 1 and CV 2, however, you have to set the saBits to transparent, because on CV 1 and CV 2 internalDmm is enabled. Else you have two possible paths towards the management system. Make sure there is only one path towards the management system! You have to enable internalDmm on CV 2, because the management data has to be able to pass from modem A to modem B. By doing so, you are able to forward management data over the line to both CV 3 modem A and B. You have to disable internalDmm on CV 3, because else you have two possible paths towards the management system for CV 3. E.g. if you would enable internalDmm, then modem A could contact the management system either over the line and then through CV 2 modem A etc. or through CV 3 modem B, over the line and then through CV2 modem B etc.
In this case, you might get unexpected results. Therefore, make sure there is only one path towards the management system! Etceteras.

Configuring passwords
This section shows you how to create a (list of) password(s) with associated access level in the security table. It also explains how to correct the security table in case of error or in case you forgot your password. Furthermore, this section shows you how to enter the passwords in the different maintenance tools. The following gives an overview of this section: 5.11.1 - Adding passwords to the security table on page 112 5.11.2 - Entering passwords in the different management tools on page 112
5.11.1 Adding passwords to the security table

In order to avoid unauthorised access to the Crocus SHDSL G703 and the network you can create a list of passwords with associated access levels in the security table. Do this using the security attribute. Refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/security on page 127.
5.11.2 Entering passwords in the different management tools

Now that you created a (list of) password(s) in the Crocus SHDSL G703, you have to enter these passwords every time you want to access the Crocus SHDSL G703 with one of the maintenance or management tools. The following table explains how to enter passwords in the different maintenance or management tools: Maintenance or management tool TMA TMA CLI, TMA Element Management1 and TMA for HP OpenView1 How to enter the password? Enter the password in the Connect window. Use the application TmaUserConf.exe to create a TMA user and assign a password to this user. The password should correspond with a password configured in the device. Refer to the manual of TMA CLI, TMA Element Management or TMA for HP OpenView for more information. You are prompted to enter the password when the session starts. You are prompted to enter the password when the CLI session starts. Then you can start an ATWIN session. You are prompted to enter the password when the session starts. Define the password as community string. If no passwords are defined, then you can use any string as community string. Enter the password after the destination file name. Separate password and file name by a ?. Example: tml fsourcefile@destinationfile?pwd (T)FTP1 Enter the password after the destination file name. Separate password and file name by a ?. Example: put sourcefile destinationfile?pwd 1. Only possible through a management concentrator.
CLI ATWIN Web Interface SNMP1 TML
If no passwords are created, everybody has complete access. If you define at least one password, it is impossible to access the Crocus SHDSL G703 with TMA if you do not enter the correct password. If you create a list of passwords, you should create at least one with write and security access. If not, you will be unable to make configuration and password changes after activation of the new configuration.

It is possible to execute actions applicable to modem tests (AL, DL, RDL, ...).
crocusShdslTtRpG703/forwardTmaToCtrlPort
Enables or disables propagation of management information to the control port. This allows you to cascade management information through the control port towards another OneAccess device. The forwardTmaToCtrlPort attribute is only present on the TT. crocusShdslTtRpG703/forwardTmaToLine Enables or disables propagation of management information to the line. Default:enabled Range: enabled / disabled
Default:enabled Range: enabled / disabled
If forwardTmaToLine is enabled, management data is sent over the line via a dedicated management channel towards the remote remote Crocus SHDSL. To determine which management data is forwarded over the line, refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/management on page 142. If forwardTmaToLine is disabled, O10 managment data can still be passed over the line : disabling forwardTmaToLine is not enough to avoid management loops.

Line configuration attributes
This section describes the following configuration attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/channel on page 132 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/region on page 132 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/timingMode on page 133 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/mode on page 134 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/minLinePairSpeed on page 135 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/retrain on page 135 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/startupMargin on page 138 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testDuration on page 138 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/asymmetricPsd on page 138 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/eocChannel on page 139 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/txEocMessages on page 139 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/eocHandling on page 139 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/numExpectedRepeaters on page 139 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linkAlarmThresholds on page 140 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/management on page 142 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/name on page 142 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/dualPairMode on page 143 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/<configurationAlarmAttributes> on page 144
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/channel Use the channel attribute to define which modem is the master (central) and which the slave (remote) during the synchronisation procedure of the modems.
Default:remote for TT / central for CV Range: remote / central
The default channel setting of a TT is remote, while that of a CV is central. Therefore there will never be a synchronisation problem when a CV and a TT are used in a regular set-up, the CV at the backbone side and the TT at the customer side. If two TTs are used at each end of the data link, make sure to change the channel attribute of one of the TTs into central. If two CVs are used at each end of the data link, make sure to change the channel attribute of one of the CVs into remote.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/region Use the region attribute to set the S-HDSL standard. The region attribute has the following values: Value annexA annexB auto Description The American S-HDSL standard is used. The European S-HDSL standard is used. The S-HDSL standard is selected automatically.
Default:auto Range: enumerated, see below
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/timingMode
Default:pleisiochronous Range: pleisiochronous / synUse the timingMode attribute to set the timing mode. It influences the relationchronous ship between the line clock and the user interface clock. Use the timingMode attribute to set the timing mode. The Crocus SHDSL G703 has two clock sources: one takes care of the clocking on the SHDSL line. one takes care of the clocking on the modular user interface.
Using the timingMode attribute you can define whether these two clocks run independent from each other (i.e. plesiochronous mode) or whether they are "coupled" with each other (i.e. synchronous mode). The timingMode attribute has the following values: Value plesiochronous Description In this mode each SHDSL frame has 0 or 4 stuffing bits to compensate clock deviations towards the user interface clock. In this mode, all possible clocking modes can be selected. In this mode the SHDSL frame does not have stuffing bits to compensate clock deviations towards the user interface clock. In this case only internal and slave receive clocking is allowed. What is more, internal clocking is only allowed at one side of the link (e.g. the central side) and slave receive clocking at the other side (e.g. the remote side).Synchronous mode is the typical timing mode in DSLAM setups.
synchronous
You always have to work in the same timing mode at both sides of the link. In other words: central: synchronous - remote: synchronous allowed central: plesiochronous - remote: plesiochronous allowed central: synchronous - remote: plesiochronous or vice versa not allowed
For compatibility with other SHDSL devices, setting this attribute to the correct value might be essential. Refer to 5.14 - Crocus SHDSL G703 compatibility with other SHDSL devices on page 119
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/mode This attribute is only present on a Crocus SHDSL G703 2P (2 pair) version. Use the mode attribute to select between single pair or dual pair operation. When the mode attribute is changed, the Crocus SHDSL G703 reboots.
Default:dualPair Range: singlePair / dualPair
When you change the mode attribute, then make sure that you use the correct speed attribute to set the user speed: If the mode attribute is set to singlePair, dualPair, then use the attribute speed to configure the user speed. speed2P to configure the user speed.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/minLinePairSpeed Use the minLinePairSpeed attribute to determine what the minimum speed on the line pair has to be when the Crocus SHDSL G703 trains. For more information on the minimum line pair speed, refer to 5.6 - Configuring the minimum line speed on page 87. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/retrain Use the retrain attribute to determine when the Crocus SHDSL G703 should retrain. The retrain criteria The following criteria determine when to retrain: Criterion no SHDSL frame synchronisation SHDSL frame CRC error threshold exceeded signal to noise too low Description
Default:<opt> Range: 192kbps up to 2048kbps (in steps of 64kbps)
Default:Range: structure, see below
When the Crocus SHDSL G703 cannot synchronise on the SHDSL framing, it retrains. SHDSL framing sends 166 blocks per second over the line, independently of the speed. Each block has a CRC check. When a certain percentage of frames has a CRC error, the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains. When the signal to noise ratio becomes too low during a certain period of time, the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains.
Configuring the retrain criteria The retrain structure contains the following elements: Element enabled Description Use this element to enable (yes) or disable (no) retrain- Default:yes ing. So when selecting no, the Crocus SHDSL G703 Range: will never retrain (even not when the line is disconnected). Use this element to set the period, in seconds, during which each criterion is measured. If within this period the predefined criterion value is equalled or exceeded, the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains. Default:10 Range: -1 30
errorPersistenceTime
The errorPersistenceTime functions as a moving window, so it s always the last seconds, equal to the errorPersistenceTime, that are used to calculate the average. errorThreshold Use this element to set the amount of CRC errors, per Default:10 mille, at which the Crocus SHDSL G703 should Range: 1 300 retrain. If the amount of CRC errors exceeds this value (measured during the errorPersistenceTime), then the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains. Remark The errored SHDSL frames can be monitored using the performance attribute crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linePair[ ]/performance/codeViolations. snrThreshold Use this element to set the signal to noise ratio, in dB, Default:23 which has to be maintained. If the measured signal to Range: 20 25 noise ratio drops below this value (measured during the errorPersistenceTime), then the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains. If you configured the Crocus SHDSL G703 in a fixed speed, then the Crocus SHDSL G703 tries to retrain again at this fixed speed. If the retrain is successful, then the Crocus SHDSL G703 operates at this fixed speed again. If the retrain is not successful, then the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains again. If the line conditions are so bad that the fixed speed can no longer be attained, then the Crocus SHDSL G703 keeps retraining. auto speed, then the Crocus SHDSL G703 initially tries to retrain at the speed it was trained before. If this does not work, then it tries to train on a lower speed. Remark The snrThreshold is only taken into account as a retrain criterion after the line has been in data state for 2 minutes.
Element stepupMargin
Description Use this element to enable or disable the step-up retrain mechanism. Default:disabled Range: 3 15
If you set the stepupMargin to a value other than disabled, then the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains at a higher speed (because of the improved line conditions) when the current signal to noise ratio of the line exceeds the sum of + the stepupMargin value. the signal to noise ratio at the moment the line entered the data state (i.e. shortly after a successful training cycle)
The result of this sum can be seen in the status attribute stepupThreshold. Remark Note that the stepupMargin element is only considered when both the central and remote Crocus SHDSL G703 are in auto speed mode.
Example Suppose in the retrain structure you set the enabled element to yes. snrThreshold element to 25 (dB). stepupMargin element to 3 (dB).
Suppose that at the moment the line entered the data state the measured signal to noise ratio was 27 dB. In that case the stepupThreshold value is 27 dB + 3 dB = 30 dB. Now, if the signal to noise ratio drops below 25 dB (i.e. the value set using the snrThreshold attribute), then the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains at a lower speed (because of the deteriorated line conditions). exceeds 27 dB (i.e. the stepupThreshold value), then the Crocus SHDSL G703 retrains at a higher speed (because of the improved line conditions).
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/startupMargin
Use the startupMargin attribute to define for which signal to noise margin a line speed is selected during the ITU-T G.994.1 auto speed negotiation. The startupMargin attribute is only relevant in case both central and remote Crocus SHDSL G703 are set to auto speed mode. The higher the startupMargin, the lower the selected line speed but the more stable the line will be. The startupMargin attribute has the following values: disabled, 0dB, 1dB, 2dB, 3dB, 4dB, 5dB, 6dB, 7dB, 8dB, 9dB, 10dB. When you set the startupMargin to disabled, the signal to noise margin is not considered during the ITU-T G.994.1 auto speed negotiation. I.e. the complete speed range is available. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testDuration Use the testDuration attribute to set the time-out period of diagnostic tests. Default:00000d 00h 03m 00s Range: 00000d 00h 00m 01s00000d 18h 12m 15s
Default:2dB Range: enumerated, see below
It is possible to perform diagnostic tests on the Crocus SHDSL G703 (refer to Chapter 12 - Diagnostic tests on page 245). However, these tests cause an interruption of the normal data transfer. Some tests even cause a contact loss between the management system and the remote Crocus SHDSL G703. Therefore, tests are automatically terminated after a time-out period which is specified with the testDuration attribute. The time-out ranges from 00000d 00h 00m 01s up to 00000d 18h 12m 15s. Entering 00000d 00h 00m 00s disables the time-out period (i.e. diagnostic tests are not terminated after a time-out period). crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/asymmetricPsd Default:disabled Range: enabled / disabled
Use the asymmetricPsd attribute to enable or disable the asymmetrical Power Spectral Density. This feature, described in the SHDSL standard, increases the transmit power for the fixed speeds 768 kbps and 1536 kbps in case of Annex A. 2048 kbps and 2304 kbps in case of Annex B.
To enable asymmetrical PSD, proceed as follows: Step 1 Action Select the speed for which you want to enable asymmetrical PSD using the speed(2P) attribute: 2 768 kbps or 1536 kbps in case of Annex A. 2048 kbps or 2304 kbps in case of Annex B.
Select the correct regional standard using the region attribute: Annex A in case of a speed of 768 kbps or 1536 kbps. Annex B in case of a speed of 2048 kbps or 2304 kbps.
Enable asymmetrical PSD by setting the asymmetricPsd attribute to enabled.
If asymmetricPsd is enabled then the device on which the channel attribute is set to "remote" will even have a slightly higher transmit power, than the device on which the channel attribute is set to "central". When asymmetricPsd is enabled, you should be able to cover a slightly higher distance at the given speeds.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/eocChannel
Use the eocChannel attribute to determine how the checksum of Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) messages is calculated. Make sure that on both the central and the remote device the eocChannel attribute is set to the same value. The eocChannel attribute has the following values: Value proprietary itu-G.991.2 Description The checksum is calculated using a proprietary method.
Default:itu-G.991.2 Range: proprietary / ituG.991.2
The checksum is calculated using the G.SHDSL standard method.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/txEocMessages
This attribute is only present on a Crocus SHDSL G703 2P (2 pair) version. Use the txEocMessages attribute to send EOC messages on both line pair 1 and 2 (bothPairs) or on line pair 1 only (pair1). crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/eocHandling Default:none Range: enumerated, see below
Default:bothPairs Range: pair1 / bothPairs
SHDSL devices can communicate with each other through the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC). Use the eocHandling attribute to define the handling of the EOC messages. For more information on EOC handling, refer to 5.2 - Configuring EOC handling on page 57. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/numExpectedRepeaters Default:0 Range: 0 8
Use the numExpectedRepeaters attribute to set the number of Crocus SHDSL G703 Repeaters that the Crocus SHDSL G703 can expect to find on the SHDSL line. If the actual number of repeaters does not match the number you entered in the numExpectedRepeaters attribute, then the invalidNumRepeaters alarm is raised.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linkAlarmThresholds
Use the linkAlarmThresholds attribute to set the alarm threshold values of the most important line parameters. If this predefined threshold value is exceeded, then a corresponding alarm is generated. The linkAlarmThresholds structure contains the following elements: Element lineAttenuation Description Use this element to set the alarm threshold value of the line attenuation in dB. If the line attenuation exceeds this value during at least 10 seconds, then the lineAttenuation alarm is raised. drops below this value during at least 10 seconds, then the lineAttenuation alarm is cleared. Remark Note that if you set the eocHandling attribute to alarmConfiguration, then the central SHDSL device forces the remote SHDSL device and any intermediary repeater to use the link alarm thresholds lineAttenuation and signalNoise as configured on the central device. In other words, the settings of the lineAttenuation and signalNoise on the central device overrule those of the remote device and repeaters. signalNoise Use this element to set the alarm threshold value of the signal noise in dB. If the signal noise exceeds this value during at least 10 seconds, then the signalNoise alarm is raised. drops below this value during at least 10 seconds, then the signalNoise alarm is cleared. Remark Note that if you set the eocHandling attribute to alarmConfiguration, then the central1 SHDSL device forces the remote2 SHDSL device and any intermediary repeater to use the link alarm thresholds lineAttenuation and signalNoise as configured on the central device. In other words, the settings of the lineAttenuation and signalNoise on the central device overrule those of the remote device and repeaters.
Default:Range: structure, see below
Element errSecRatioExceeded
Description Use this element to set the alarm threshold value of the errored seconds ratio. The errored seconds ratio is the ratio of errored seconds to total seconds during a 15 minute time interval. So if the errored seconds ratio exceeds this value within a 15 minute period3, then the errSecRatioExceeded alarm is raised. drops below this value within a 15 minute period, then the errSecRatioExceeded alarm is cleared.
sevErrSecRatioExceeded
Use this element to set the alarm threshold value of the severely errored seconds ratio. The severely errored seconds ratio is the ratio of severely errored seconds to total seconds during a 15 minute interval. So if the severely errored seconds ratio exceeds this value within a 15 minute period3, then the sevErrSecRatioExceeded alarm is raised. drops below this value within a 15 minute period, then the sevErrSecRatioExceeded alarm is cleared.
bBErrRatioExceeded
Use this element to set the alarm threshold value of the background block error ratio. The background block error ratio is the ratio of background block errors to total blocks during a 15 minute time interval. The count of total blocks excludes all blocks during severely errored seconds. So if the background block error ratio exceeds this value within a 15 minute period3, then the bBErrRatioExceeded alarm is raised. drops below this value within a 15 minute period, then the bBErrRatioExceeded alarm is cleared.
1. The central device is the device on which the channel attribute is set to central. 2. The remote device is the device on which the channel attribute is set to remote. 3. The 15 minute periods run synchronous with the 2 hour periods of the line/h2Line performance attribute. Because alarms are raised or cleared within 15 minute periods, there is a delay in the alarm status. For example, suppose that in the first minute of a 15 minute period the errSecRatioExceeded value is exceeded, then the errSecRatioExceeded alarm is raised when the full 15 minute period has passed. The alarm is only cleared if in the next 15 minute period the errSecRatioExceeded value is not exceeded.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/management
Use the management attribute to determine whether and which management data is forwarded over the line (also refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/forwardTmaToLine on page 128 to enable or disable propagation of management information to the line). The management attribute has the following possible values: Value transparent o10Management Description No management data is forwarded over the SHDSL line. The data is passed transparently over the line. This forwards the proprietary OneAccess O10 protocol over the SHDSL line. This allows you to manage the remote SHDSL device (and possibly other OneAccess devices connected to the SHDSL device). This forwards path management information over the SHDSL line. This allows you to manage complete paths instead of managing individual devices (i.e. elements).For more information on path management, refer to the TMA Path Management manual. This forwards both the proprietary OneAccess O10 protocol as the path management information over the SHDSL line.
Default:o10-PathManagement Range: enumerated, see below
pathManagement
o10-PathManagement
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/name Use the name attribute to assign a name to the line.
Default:<empty> Range: 0 ... 24 characters
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/dualPairMode This attribute is only present on the Crocus SHDSL G703 2 pair version.
Default:enhanced Range: standard/enhanced
If the mode attribute is set to dualPair, then use the dualPairMode attribute to set the dual pair operation mode. The dualPairMode attribute has the following possible values: Value standard Description The dual pair SHDSL line operates strictly as described in the SHDSL standard. If the Crocus SHDSL G703 is connected to a remote device that operates strictly according to the SHDSL standard, then select the standard value. The dual pair SHDSL line operates slightly different than described in the SHDSL standard (some enhancements are present). If you select the enhanced value, then it is possible that you experience problems when connecting to third party SHDSL devices. In that case, select the standard value.
enhanced
If you have two Crocus SHDSL G703s connected to each other in a point-to-point set-up, then make sure that you set the dualPairMode attribute to the same value at both sides!
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/<configurationAlarmAttributes> Use the alarm related configuration attributes to configure the alarm behaviour of the line object (use alarmMask, alarmLevel, remoteAlarmMask, alarmContactHighMask and alarmContactLowMask). the repeater object (use repeaterAlarmMask, repeaterAlarmLevel, repeaterLinePairAlarmMask and repeaterLinePairAlarmLevel). the end object (use endAlarmMask, endAlarmLevel, endLinePairAlarmMask and endLinePairAlarmLevel).

crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/timeSlots This attribute is only present on a G703 Nx64k interface.
Default:ts0=1, other ts=0 Range: enumerated, see below
Use the timeSlots attribute to enable or disable the individual 64 kbps time slots in the framed data stream. Important remark Do not enable time slot 0 in the local Crocus SHDSL G703 and a non-G703 interface in the remote Crocus SHDSL G703. In case you use a G703 interface in one Crocus SHDSL and a serial interface is the other Crocus SHDSL, then the auto speed only works when more than 2 time slots (in case of a Crocus SHDSL 1 pair version) or 4 time slots (in case of a Crocus SHDSL 2 pair version) are selected.
For more information, refer to 5.7 - Configuring framing and time slots on page 93. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/coding Use the coding attribute to set the G703 interface encoding mode. Possible values are: Value ami hdb3 Description Alternate Mark Inversion is selected. This is a bipolar code with no zero substitution. High Density Bipolar 3 is selected. This is a modified bipolar code.With HDB3 encoding, more than three consecutive zeroes occurring in the data are replaced by a substitution word. This to ensure a high pulse density. Therefore, data links using the HDB3 code can carry data patterns with a low 1 density. Most of the G703 applications use HDB3 encoding. Default:hdb3 Range: ami / hdb3
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/aisDetection Use this attribute to enable or disable the detection of the Alarm Indication Signal. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/sqThreshold Use this attribute to set the signal quality threshold. This is the number of errored seconds for which a signal quality alarm is generated.
Default:enabled Range: enabled / disabled
Default:10 Range: 0 65535
If the sqThreshold value, i.e. the number of errored seconds, is exceeded within the sqTime, then a signal quality (sq) alarm is generated. For example, if 10 (default) or more errored seconds occur within 1 minute (default), then a signal quality alarm is generated. The sqThreshold value ranges from 0 up to 65535. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/sqTime Use this attribute to set the signal quality time. This is the period (in days, hours, minutes and seconds) during which the signal quality threshold is measured. Default:00000d 00h 01m 00s Range: 00000d 00h 00m 00s 24855d 03h 14m 07s
If the sqThreshold value, i.e. the number of errored seconds, is exceeded within the sqTime, then a signal quality (sq) alarm is generated. For example, if 10 (default) or more errored seconds occur within 1 minute (default), then a signal quality alarm is generated. The sqTime value ranges from 00000d 00h 00m 00s up to 24855d 03h 14m 07s. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/name Use the name attribute to assign an administrative name to the DTE interface. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/clocking Use the clocking attribute to select a clocking mode. Default:<empty> Range: 0 24 characters
Default:external Range: external / internal
For more information, refer to 5.5 - Configuring the clocking mode on page 82. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/rdlDetect Default:enabled Range: disabled / enabled
When set to disabled, this attribute prevents that a digital loop can be performed by a remote Crocus SHDSL G703 on the local Crocus SHDSL G703.
When rdlDetect is disabled, and a remote Crocus SHDSL G703 initiates an RDL test, the local Crocus SHDSL G703 will not go in digital loop. However, the DTE interface of the remote Crocus SHDSL G703 will be clamped and data transfer is interrupted. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/<configurationAlarmAttributes> For more information on the configuration alarm attributes alarmMask, alarmLevel, remoteAlarmMask, alarmContactHighMask, alarmContactLowMask and on the alarms in general, refer to 9.2 - Introducing the alarm attributes on page 210.

crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/ifDescr This attribute displays the interface description. It is an SNMP MIB2 parameter. The ifDescr value for the line object is line. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/ifType This attribute displays the interface type. It is an SNMP MIB2 parameter. The ifType value for the line object is other. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/ifSpeed This attribute displays the current line speed in bits per second (bps), e.g. 2048000. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/ifOperStatus This attribute displays the current operation status of the line. Possible operation status values are: Value up down testing Description The line is up, data transfer is possible. The line is down, data transfer is not possible. A test is active. For more information on type, originator and status of the test refer to the line status attributes testType, testOriginator and testStatus.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/minLinePairSpeed This attribute displays the minimum line pair speed. The value depends on how the user speed and/or the minimum line pair speed are configured. Refer to What do the minLinePairSpeed and maxLinePairSpeed status attributes display? on page 165 for more information.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/maxLinePairSpeed This attribute displays the maximum line pair speed. The value depends on how the user speed and/or the minimum line pair speed are configured. Refer to What do the minLinePairSpeed and maxLinePairSpeed status attributes display? for more information. What do the minLinePairSpeed and maxLinePairSpeed status attributes display? What is configured? user speed (fixed) Description In case you configure a fixed user speed (i.e. you set the configuration attribute speed(2P) to a fixed value), then the line trains at the fixed user speed.So in this case, the status attribute minLinePairSpeed displays a speed that is equal to the fixed user speed (or half the fixed user speed in case of a 2P version). What is more, the status attributes minLinePairSpeed and maxLinePairSpeed display the same speed. In case you configure an auto user speed (i.e. you set the configuration attribute speed(2P) to auto), then during the training cycle the lowest and highest possible line speed is determined. Then the line trains at the highest possible speed and this becomes the user speed.So in this case, the status attribute minLinePairSpeed displays the lowest possible speed that could be achieved on the line pair(s) during the training cycle. The status attribute maxLinePairSpeed displays the highest possible speed that could be achieved on the line pair(s) during the training cycle. In case you configure a fixed user speed (i.e. you set the configuration attribute speed(2P) to a fixed value) and a minimum line pair speed (using the configuration attribute minLinePairSpeed) and the user speed is lower than the line speed, then the line trains at the configured line speed.So in this case, the status attribute minLinePairSpeed displays a speed that is equal to the configured minimum line pair speed. What is more, the status attributes minLinePairSpeed and maxLinePairSpeed display the same speed. Remark Note that this only applies when the configured user speed is lower than the configured line speed. In case the configured user speed is higher than the configured line speed, the user speed (fixed) situation applies. See above. user speed (auto) + line speed In case you configure an auto user speed (i.e. you set the configuration attribute speed(2P) to auto) and a minimum line pair speed (using the configuration attribute minLinePairSpeed), then during the training cycle the lowest (which is the minimum line pair speed) and highest possible line speed is determined. Then the line trains at the highest possible speed and this becomes the user speed.So in this case, the status attribute minLinePairSpeed displays a speed that is equal to the configured minimum line pair speed. The status attribute maxLinePairSpeed displays the highest possible speed that could be achieved on the line pair(s) during the training cycle.
user speed (auto)
user speed (fixed) + line speed
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/framerType This attribute displays which type of framing is used on the SHDSL line: Nx64 or slotted E1. The line of the Crocus SHDSL G703 can operate in two modes: Nx64 or slotted E1. These modes are not directly user configurable (i.e. there is no attribute with which you can select these modes), but depending on which interface is used, which user/line speed is chosen, etc. the Crocus SHDSL G703 will select one of these modes. Mode Nx64 Description In this mode the data on the SHDSL line is a continuous bit stream with a speed of N x 64 kbps, where N ranges from 1 up to 36 (or from 2 up to 72 in case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 2 pair version). So the line speed ranges from 64 kbps up to 2304 kbps (or 128 kbps up to 4608 kbps in case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 2 pair version). In this mode the data on the SHDSL line is put in N x 64 kbps time slots (similar to framed data on a G.703 interface), where N ranges from 3 up to 32 (or from 6 up to 64 in case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 2 pair version). So the line speed ranges from 192 kbps up to 2048 kbps (or 384 kbps up to 4096 kbps in case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 2 pair version).
slotted E1
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testType This attribute displays which test is currently active. The possible indications are: Value no al dl rdl et alEt rdlEt Description No test is active.

The maximumSpeedSearch action stopped without result. The maximumSpeedSearch action is finished. The result is displayed in the maxSpeedResult attribute.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/maxSpeedResult This attribute displays the maximum speed that was achieved during the execution of the maximumSpeedSearch action: refer to crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/maximumSpeedSearch on page 171.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/errorCount This attribute displays the amount of detected errors since the start of an ET, AL-ET or RDL-ET test. Every time a new ET, AL-ET or RDL-ET is started, the errorCount attribute is reset to 0. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/region This attribute displays how you configured the region configuration attribute (annexA, annexB or auto). crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/asymmetricPsd This attribute displays whether asymmetric PSD is currently active or not. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linePairsSwapped This attribute is only present on the Crocus SHDSL G703 2P version. This attribute indicates whether the 2 line pairs have been swapped when connecting the central with the remote device. Possible values are: Value yes no unknown Description The line pairs are swapped. The line pairs are not swapped. The Crocus SHDSL G703 is unable to determine whether the line pairs have been swapped (e.g. because it is still training).
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/numDiscoveredRepeaters This attribute displays the number of Crocus SHDSL G703 Repeaters that the Crocus SHDSL G703 discovered on the SHDSL line.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/eocAlarmThresholds This attribute displays the value of the lineAttenuation and signalNoise elements as set in configuration attribute crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linkAlarmThresholds. However, when the configuration attribute crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/eocHandling of the central device in the link has been set to alarmConfiguration, the central device will impose its values of lineAttenuation and signalNoise elements on the other devices in the link, as described in 5.2.2 - The EOC handling attribute on page 59. The eocAlarmTresholds attribute will then display the values of the lineAttenuation and signalNoise elements of the central device in the link. The eocAlarmThresholds structure contains the following elements: lineAttenuation signalNoise
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/clearErrorCounter Use this action to clear the value of the errorCount attribute. This could be useful, for example, to reset the error counter after the unstable period (in which errors occur anyhow) shortly after the initiation of a test. Double click on the clearErrorCounter string to execute the action.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/maximumSpeedSearch Use this action to determine the highest possible line speed that can be achieved between the central and remote Crocus SHDSL G703. Double click on the maximumSpeedSearch string to execute the action. When you execute this test, the following happens: Phase 1 2 Action The Crocus SHDSL G703 interrupts the normal data transfer. Both local and remote Crocus SHDSL G703 go to auto speed mode in order to determine the highest possible line speed. Meanwhile, the status of the test can be monitored with the maxSpeedSearch attribute. When the test ends, the result is displayed by the maxSpeedResult attribute. The Crocus SHDSL G703 resumes normal data transfer at the speed that was selected before the test.

Repeater and end status attributes
This section describes the following status attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/vendorId on page 176 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/vendorModel on page 176 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/vendorSerial on page 176 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/vendorSoftVersion on page 176 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/eocSoftVersion on page 177 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/shdslVersion on page 177 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/eocState on page 177 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/eocAlarmThresholds on page 178 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/linePair[ ]/lineAttenuation on page 179 crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/linePair[ ]/signalNoise on page 179
This section describes the following actions: crocusShdslTtRpG703/repeater/loopbackActivation on page 179 The repeater[ ] and the end objects are not present in the containment tree by default. They are added automatically when you configure the eocHandling attribute. Refer to 5.2 - Configuring EOC handling on page 57. Exactly which information is retrieved from the remote SHDSL device(s) through the EOC channel depends on the setting of the eocHandling attribute. Refer to 5.2.4 - EOC retrieved information on page 60. The repeater[ ] and end objects contain the same attributes, therefore only the attributes of the end object are listed here. When the Crocus SHDSL G703 is configured for 1 pair operation, the repeater[ ] and end[ ] objects networkLinePair[2] and customerLinePair[2] still appear in the containment tree (although 1 pair operation has been configured).
crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/vendorId This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to discovery, inventory, info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays information about the vendor of the repeater or end device. The vendorId structure contains the following elements: countryCode E.g. 65295 for Belgium. providerCode E.g. TLS_ for OneAccess. vendorSpecific
crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/vendorModel This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to inventory, info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays the model of the repeater or end device. E.g. SHDSL TT 2P for a Crocus SHDSL Table Top 2 pair version. crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/vendorSerial This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to inventory, info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays the serial number of the repeater or end device. For a OneAccess devices this is the deviceId attribute. crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/vendorSoftVersion This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to inventory, info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays the version of the firmware used on the repeater or end device. For a OneAccess device this is the part after "/" of the T-code string displayed in the flashVersion attribute.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/eocSoftVersion This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to discovery, inventory, info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays the EOC software version used on the repeater or end device. crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/shdslVersion This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to discovery, inventory, info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays the SHDSL version used on the repeater or end device. crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/eocState This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to discovery, inventory, info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays the state of the EOC channel. Remark about the repeater object While the modem is in loop condition (AL), the repeater cannot be reached. Therefore, the repeater/ eocState attribute will show offline while an AL test is activated. During a DL test, the eocState is not changed because the repeater can still be reached with EOC messages.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/eocAlarmThresholds This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to info or alarmConfiguration. What this attribute displays depends on the setting of the line/eocHandling attribute: If eocHandling is set to info alarmConfiguration then the eocAlarmThresholds attribute displays the values as set in the line/linkAlarmThresholds attribute on the remote1 device or repeater. the eocAlarmThresholds attribute displays the values as set in the line/linkAlarmThresholds attribute on the central2 device. Remark Note that the values are rounded off. E.g. when 28.6 dB is configured on the central modem, then 28 dB is shown on the remote device or repeater.
1. The remote device is the device on which the channel attribute is set to remote. 2. The central device is the device on which the channel attribute is set to central. The eocAlarmThresholds structure contains the following elements: lineAttenuation signalNoise
crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/linePair[ ]/lineAttenuation This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays the line attenuation, in dB, as it is measured on the line pair of the repeater or end device. crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/linePair[ ]/signalNoise This attribute is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to info or alarmConfiguration. This attribute displays the noise margin, in dB, as it is measured on the line pair of the repeater or end device. crocusShdslTtRpG703/repeater/loopbackActivation This action is only present in the repeater[ ] object. Use this action to set up a loop at the network side of the Crocus SHDSL Repeater:
Set the loop by selecting the action argument value initiateNetworkLoopback and executing the action (double-click the loopbackActivation string). Stop the loop by selecting the action argument value clearAllMaintenanceStates and executing the action (double-click the loopbackActivation string). Important remarks
.
You can only set up a loop at the network side of the Crocus SHDSL Repeater. Not at the customer side. You can only start the loopbackActivation action on the central device. Not on the remote device. You can only start the loopbackActivation action in case the line/eocHandling attribute is set to alarmConfiguration. The loopbackActivation action argument value noAction does nothing. It is only present to have a default value.

DTE Interface status attributes
This section describes the following status attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/timeSlots on page 181 crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/los on page 181 crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ais on page 181 crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/lfa on page 182 crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifDescr on page 182 crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifType on page 183 crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifSpeed on page 183 crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifClocking on page 183 crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifOperStatus on page 183
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/timeSlots This attribute displays the time slots that are being used. This is especially useful in case you set the framing attribute to auto. Refer to 5.7.1 - Selecting unframed or framed mode on page 94. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/los This attribute displays (on / off) whether a Loss Of Signal has been detected. LOS is on when the incoming data is no longer present. E.g. the connection from the application towards the Crocus SHDSL G703 is interrupted. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ais This attribute displays (on / off) whether an Alarm Indication Signal has been detected. AIS is on when the AIS signal (also called all ones) is detected on the incoming data. E.g. the application detected a problem and communicates this to the Crocus SHDSL G703.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/lfa This attribute displays (on / off) whether a Loss of Frame Alignment has been detected. LFA is on when the Frame Alignment Signal (FAS), which is present in time slot 0 of the G.704 framed data, is not detected after a certain period. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifDescr This attribute displays the DTE interface description. It is an SNMP MIB2 parameter.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifType This attribute displays the DTE interface type. It is an SNMP MIB2 parameter. The following table shows the default ifDescr and ifType attribute for each DTE interface. DTE interface G703 ifDescr value g703 ifType value other when the G703 interface is used in unframed mode e1 when the G703 interface is used in framed mode
crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifSpeed This attribute displays the current DTE interface speed in bits per second (bps), e.g. 640000. When the DTE interface is down (ifOperStatus = down), the DTE interface speed is 0. crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifClocking This attribute displays the clocking mode which is actually used by the Crocus SHDSL G703, e.g. internalPreferred. This is not necessarily the clocking mode you configured. It can be a clocking mode that is selected by the Crocus SHDSL G703 because it was not possible to select the clocking mode of your choice (for example, because the external clock signal is lost). crocusShdslTtRpG703/g703/ifOperStatus This attribute displays the current operational status of the DTE interface. The possible indications are: Value up down Description The DTE interface is up, data transfer is possible. The DTE interface is down, data transfer is not possible. For example, because there is no connection between the interface and the DTE.
7.7
Operating system status attributes
This section describes the following status attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/operatingSystem/taskInfo on page 185
crocusShdslTtRpG703/operatingSystem/taskInfo The taskInfo table displays status information about the operating system. The table contains the following attributes: Attribute taskName taskStatus Description Name of the task. Current status. The task can have the following status values: load30s (%) load5m (%) runningInMedium (%) runningInHigh (%) awake: This task is actually running. asleep: This task is waiting on an event. inactive: This task slot is not active, i.e. no task has been assigned to this slot.
This is the load on the processor during the last 30 seconds. This is the load on the processor during the last 5 minutes. Each task can be running with a low, medium or high priority. This element gives the percentage of time this task is running with medium priority during the last 30 seconds. Each task can be running with a low, medium or high priority. This element gives the percentage of time this task is running with high priority during the last 30 seconds. The percentage of time this task is running with low priority can be calculated using the following formula:100% - runningInMedium (%) - runningInHigh (%). This is the current value of the program counter. The program counter is the memory address for the current instruction of this task.

Introducing the performance attributes
Performance information can be used for the following: If network problems arise, information about the history of the communication link can be reviewed and analysed. These statistics can be useful to locate and solve the problem. By collecting performance information, an operator can keep track of the global performance of the network, e.g. network bottlenecks can be traced, etc.
Before discussing the performance attributes of the Crocus SHDSL G703 in detail, some general information on the performance attributes of the Crocus SHDSL G703 is given. The following gives an overview of this section: 8.2.1 - Introducing the performance timing on page 191 8.2.2 - Introducing the performance terms on page 192
8.2.1
Introducing the performance timing
The following table explains the performance information timing. Performance timing 2 hours,24 hours,7 days Description The performance information is accumulated during a certain time span, called a period. After a period, the accumulated performance information is written into a buffer. Then a new period starts. An interval contains several periods: To cover a 2 hours interval, 8 periods of 15 minutes are kept. To cover a 24 hours interval, 12 periods of 2 hours are kept. To cover a 7 days interval, 7 periods of 24 hours are kept.
The buffer in which the information is stored, is a circular buffer. I.e. every period (15 minutes, 2 hours or 24 hours) the most recent measured and calculated values are added, and the oldest values are lost. since boot In this case, the performance information is kept since the latest cold boot of the Crocus SHDSL G703. This can be considered as a performance information summary.
The Crocus SHDSL G703 does not contain a real-time clock, therefore time information is related to its internal clock. To allow you to situate the time intervals in the real time, the sysUpTime attribute is returned together with the performance information. It reflects the time since the latest cold boot of the Crocus SHDSL G703. Only the available performance information is displayed. If the interrogation happens shortly after boot, no values are displayed. For example for the 24 hours intervals, the new performance information is available only when a complete time span (i.e. 2 hours) has elapsed.
8.2.2
Introducing the performance terms
The following table explains the performance information terms. Term sysUpTime min, max, avrg count time Description Reflects the time since the latest cold boot of the Crocus SHDSL G703. Display the minimum, maximum and average values calculated for the corresponding period.E.g. min-max-avrg value of the noise margin. Counts the number of times an event occurred during the corresponding period.E.g. the number of retrains. Indicates the duration of an event during the corresponding period.E.g. the time during which the line is up.
8.3
Line performance attributes
This section describes the following performance attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/<h2/h24/d7>Line on page 194 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/line on page 194 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/errorCount on page 194
This section describes the following actions: crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/retrain on page 195 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testActivation on page 195 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/clearErrorCounter on page 195
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/<h2/h24/d7>Line This structured value displays the 2 hours, 24 hours and 7 days line performance. The <h2/h24/d7>Line structured value elements are the following: Element sysUpTime linkDownCount linkDownTime For the corresponding period, this value displays the elapsed time since the last cold boot. the number of times the link went down. the total amount of time the link was down.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/line This structured value displays the line performance since the last cold boot. Except for sysUpTime, the structured value elements are the same as for the <h2/h24/d7>Line attribute. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/errorCount This attribute displays the amount of detected errors since the start of an ET, AL-ET or RDL-ET test. Every time a new ET, AL-ET or RDL-ET is started, the errorCount attribute is reset to 0.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/retrain Use this action to initiate a retrain cycle. Double click on the retrain string to execute the action. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testActivation Use this action to perform a test on the Crocus SHDSL G703. These tests are useful to trace possible problems. Possible tests are: no, al, dl, rdl, et, alEt, rdlEt. To execute a test, proceed as follows: Step 1 2 Action In the TMA window, select the object line and the group Performance or Status. In the action window of TMA, click the left mouse button on the field under the heading Argument Value.
A drop down box appears.

3 4 In the drop down box, select the test you want to execute. Press the right mouse button and select Execute.
For more information on these tests, refer to Chapter 12 - Diagnostic tests on page 245. crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/clearErrorCounter Use this action to clear the value of the errorCount attribute. This could be useful, for example, to reset the error counter after the unstable period (in which errors occur anyhow) shortly after the initiation of a test. Double click on the clearErrorCounter string to execute the action.
8.4
Line pair performance attributes
This section describes the following performance attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linePair[ ]/<h2/h24/d7>LineParameters on page 197 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linePair[ ]/lineParameters on page 197 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linePair[ ]/<h2/h24/d7>Performance on page 198 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linePair[ ]/performance on page 198

Except for sysUpTime, the structured value elements are the same as for the <h2/h24/d7>Performance attribute.
8.5
Repeater and end performance attributes
The repeater[ ] and the end objects are not present in the containment tree by default. They are added automatically when you configure the eocHandling attribute. Refer to 5.2 - Configuring EOC handling on page 57. Exactly which information is retrieved from the remote SHDSL device(s) through the EOC channel depends on the setting of the eocHandling attribute. Refer to 5.2.4 - EOC retrieved information on page 60. The performance information of the line and line pairs of the repeater and end device is only retrieved in case the eocHandling attribute is set to info or alarmConfiguration. Other than that, the repeater[ ] and end objects contain the same performance attributes as the line object. Refer to 8.3 - Line performance attributes on page 193 for more information on the line attributes. 8.4 - Line pair performance attributes on page 196 for more information on the line pair attributes.
When the Crocus SHDSL G703 is configured for 1 pair operation, the repeater[ ] and end[ ] objects networkLinePair[2] and customerLinePair[2] still appear in the containment tree (although 1 pair operation has been configured).
Note that the sysUpTime in the performance attributes of the repeater[ ] and end objects is not the elapsed time since the last cold boot, but the elapsed time since the creation of the repeater[ ] or end object.

These tests are useful to trace possible problems. First select the test (i.e. the argument value), then execute the testActivation action. You can limit the duration of an active test on the G703 interface by using the attribute crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testDuration on page 138. The testActivation action has the following argument values: Value no internalLoopback Description No test is activated. In case you want to stop a test, then select this value and execute the testActivation action. Starting an internalLoopback test on the G703 interface loops the data coming from the DTE back to the DTE.
G703 interface performance definitions The following table lists some of the definitions that are used in the ITU-T recommendations that apply on the G703 interface. They are listed here for completeness only. For more detailed information, refer to the recommendations themselves. Term defect Definition A defect is one of the following conditions: Errored Block (EB) Errored Second (ES) Severely Errored Second (SES) Loss Of Signal (LOS, defined in G.775). Alarm Indication Signal (AIS, defined in G.775). Loss of Frame Alignment (LFA, defined in G.706).
A data frame that contains one or more errors. In case of G.704 framing a frame is time slot 0 up to time slot 31. A 1 second period where at least 1 EB or defect occurred. A 1 second period where equal to or more than 30% EBs occur or at least 1 defect. The measurement of EBs depends on the operation mode: Framed without CRC-4: the error detection occurs based on the detected Frame Alignment Signal (FAS) bit errors; 28 FAS bit errors per second matches a Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10-3 or more. Framed with CRC-4: the error detection occurs based on CRC-4.
unavailability
Matches a period of 10 or more consecutive SESs. Refer to G.826 Annex A for a complete definition.

Introducing the alarm attributes
Before discussing the alarm attributes of the Crocus SHDSL G703 in detail, some general information on the alarm attributes of the Crocus SHDSL G703 is given. The following gives an overview of this section: 9.2.1 - Configuration alarm attributes on page 211 9.2.2 - General alarm attributes on page 215 9.2.3 - Alarm signalling on page 217
9.2.1
Configuration alarm attributes
This section explains the attributes that allow you to configure the alarm behaviour of the Crocus SHDSL G703. These configuration alarm attributes are: crocusShdslTtRpG703//alarmMask on page 212 crocusShdslTtRpG703//alarmLevel on page 212 crocusShdslTtRpG703//remoteAlarmMask on page 214
crocusShdslTtRpG703//alarmMask Use this attribute to mask or unmask the alarms of an object. This determines whether an active alarm is forwarded to the central management system (e.g. TMA Element Management or HP OpenView) or not. causes a change of colour in the subsystem picture (refer to Chapter 10 - TMA subsystem picture of the Crocus SHDSL G703 on page 231).
The alarms in the alarmMask attribute have the following values: Value enabled disabled Is the active alarm being forwarded to the central management system? Does the active alarm cause a change of colour in the subsystem picture? Yes. So the alarm is unmasked. No. So the alarm is masked.
Alarms are always seen in the alarmInfo alarm attribute of an object, regardless of the masking of the alarm. I.e. even if an alarm is set to disabled in the alarmMask of an object, if the alarm condition is fulfilled then the alarm will be set to on in the alarmInfo of that object. However, because this alarm is disabled it will not be sent to the central management system. Only the most important alarms are unmasked (i.e. enabled) by default. All other alarms are masked (i.e. disabled).
crocusShdslTtRpG703//alarmLevel Use this attribute to assign a priority level to each alarm of the corresponding object. The alarm level range goes from 0 to 254, where 0 is the lowest and 254 is the highest priority level. The alarmLevel of an unmasked, active alarm is sent to the totalAlarmLevel of the top object crocusShdslTtRpG703.
crocusShdslTtRpG703//remoteAlarmMask This attribute is present on the TT only. The remoteAlarmMask attribute enables or disables for each alarm of the corresponding object, whether: a visual indication is generated (blinking error LED). an alarm is sent to the remote Crocus SHDSL G703.
By default, all the alarms in the remoteAlarmMask are set to disabled.
9.2.2
General alarm attributes
This section describes the following alarm attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/totalAlarmLevel on page 216 crocusShdslTtRpG703//alarmInfo on page 216
crocusShdslTtRpG703/totalAlarmLevel This attribute is only present in the top object of the containment tree of the Crocus SHDSL G703, crocusShdslTtRpG703. It displays the priority level of an unmasked, active alarm. When several alarms are generated at the same time, the highest priority level is shown. If the alarm levels are set in a structured manner, one look at the totalAlarmLevel attribute enables the operator to make a quick estimation of the problem. The value of the totalAlarmLevel attribute is also communicated to the central management system (e.g. TMA Element Management or HP OpenView) where it determines the colour of the icon. This colour is an indication of the severity of the alarm. crocusShdslTtRpG703//alarmInfo The alarmInfo contains the actual alarm information of the corresponding object. This information is updated each time there is a change in the status of an alarm within this object. The alarmInfo attributes are: Attribute discriminator currentAlarms previousAlarms alarmMask alarmLevel Displays for the corresponding object the total number of alarm status changes in this object since the last cold boot. the current alarm status of this object. the previous alarm status of this object. the alarmMask as configured in the Configuration group. the alarmLevel as configured in the Configuration group.
9.2.3
Alarm signalling
If you do not have a central management system, you could perform alarm signalling with the alarm contacts of the CN4 card nest. Example Suppose the following situation: On a remote Crocus SHDSL TT the configChanged alarm of the Crocus SHDSL G703 object is set to enabled in the remoteAlarmMask. In other words: crocusShdslTtRpG703/remoteAlarmMask/configChanged = enabled. On a central Crocus SHDSL CV the remoteAlarm of the top object is set to enabled in the alarmContactHighMask. In other words: crocusShdslTtRpG703/alarmContactHighMask/remoteAlarm = enabled. The high alarm contacts of the CN4 card nest are connected in a circuit with a light bulb.
Now the following happens: Phase 1 2 3 4 Situation Someone changes the configuration of the Crocus SHDSL TT. On the Crocus SHDSL TT the configChanged alarm is enabled in the remoteAlarmMask. On the Crocus SHDSL CV the remoteAlarm is enabled in the alarmContactHighMask. The high alarm contacts of the CN4 card nest close. Result On the Crocus SHDSL TT the configChanged alarm becomes active. A remote alarm is sent to the Crocus SHDSL CV. The high alarm contacts of the CN4 card nest close. The light bulb lights up.

Line pair alarms
This section describes the following alarm attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linePair[ ]/alarmInfo on page 224
In case of a Crocus SHDSL G703 2P, two linePair objects are present: linePair [1] and linePair [2]. Refer to 9.2 - Introducing the alarm attributes on page 210 for the general alarm attributes.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/linePair[ ]/alarmInfo The different alarms related to the linePair[ ] object together with their explanation and their default alarmMask and alarmLevel value are given in the following table: The alarm is generated Default value alarmMask linkDown when no data link towards the remote Crocus SHDSL G703 is present. It does not necessarily mean that the line pair is disconnected. If the line quality is so bad that data transfer is not possible, a linkDown alarm is generated. lineAttenuation when the line attenuation exceeds the value configured in the line/linkAlarmThresholds configuration attribute for at least 10 seconds. The alarm is cleared when the line attenuation drops below this value for at least 10 seconds. Note however that in case the line/eocHandling configuration attribute is set to alarmConfiguration, the central SHDSL device forces the remote SHDSL device to use the linkAlarmThresholds/lineAttenuation as configured on the central device.

1. The 15 minute periods run synchronous with the 2 hour periods of the line/h2Line performance attribute. Because alarms are raised or cleared within 15 minute periods, there is a delay in the alarm status. For example, suppose that in the first minute of a 15 minute period the errSecRatioExceeded value is exceeded, then the errSecRatioExceeded alarm is raised when the full 15 minute period has passed. The alarm is only cleared if in the next 15 minute period the errSecRatioExceeded value is not exceeded.
9.6
Repeater and end alarms
This section describes the following alarm attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/linePair[ ]/alarmInfo on page 227 The repeater[ ] and the end objects are not present in the containment tree by default. They are added automatically when you configure the eocHandling attribute. Refer to 5.2 - Configuring EOC handling on page 57 Exactly which information is retrieved from the remote SHDSL device(s) through the EOC channel depends on the setting of the eocHandling attribute. Refer to 5.2.4 - EOC retrieved information on page 60. The repeater[ ] and end objects contain the same attributes, therefore only the attributes of the end object are listed here. When the Crocus SHDSL G703 is configured for 1 pair operation, the repeater[ ] and end[ ] objects networkLinePair[2] and customerLinePair[2] still appear in the containment tree (although 1 pair operation has been configured).
crocusShdslTtRpG703/end/linePair[ ]/alarmInfo The different alarms related to the linePair[ ] object together with their explanation and their default alarmMask and alarmLevel value are given in the following table:l The alarm is generated Default value alarmMask linkDown when no data link towards the remote Crocus SHDSL G703 is present. It does not necessarily mean that the line pair is disconnected. If the line quality is so bad that data transfer is not possible, a linkDown alarm is generated. lineAttenuation when the line attenuation exceeds the value configured in the line/linkAlarmThresholds configuration attribute of the local device for at least 10 seconds. The alarm is cleared when the line attenuation drops below this value for at least 10 seconds. Note however that in case the line/eocHandling configuration attribute is set to alarmConfiguration, the central SHDSL device forces the remote SHDSL device and any intermediary repeater to use the linkAlarmThresholds/lineAttenuation as configured on the central device.

crocusShdslTtRpG703/<dteInterface>/alarmInfo The different alarms related to the <dteInterface> object together with their explanation and their default alarmMask and alarmLevel value are given in the following table: The alarm is generated Default value alarmMask linkDown (for G703) ais (G703) when there is a loss of signal. I.e. the transmit data is no longer present. when an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) has been detected in the incoming G703 transmit data (the alarm signal needs to be active for at least one sceond). It means the application has detected an error. when the Frame Alignment Signal (FAS), which is present in time slot 0 of the G.704 framed data, is not detected after a certain period.This alarm is also generated when the attribute crc4Insertion is set to enabled, but no CRC is sent by the application.

Subsystem picture elements
This section displays and labels the different elements of the subsystem picture. It also explains how the visual indications should be interpreted. Below, the Crocus SHDSL G703 subsystem picture is displayed.
When TMA fails to upload the sub-system picture info (e.g. because TMA is disconnected), then the LEDs and connectors are greyed-out.
Chapter 10 TMA subsystem picture of the Crocus SHDSL G703
The table below gives an overview of the subsystem picture elements and what they indicate: Element LED indicators Description They reflect the actual status of the Crocus SHDSL G703. The LED indication on the subsystem picture corresponds with the LED indication on the Crocus SHDSL G703 itself. For more information on the interpretation of the LEDs, refer to 2.9 Front panel LED indicators on page 30.
DTE interface
This reflects the status of the DTE interface. The possible indications are: green: No alarm of the <dteInterface> object is active. red: An (unmasked) alarm of the <dteInterface> object is active.
The layout of the connector also gives an indication of the type of DTE interface which is currently used in the Crocus SHDSL G703. Remark The colours of the DTE interface only change if the alarms related to the <dteInterface> object are set to enabled in the alarmMask. For more information, refer to 9.2.1 - Configuration alarm attributes on page 211.
line
This reflects the status of the line. The possible indications are: green outside: No (unmasked) alarm of the line object is active. red outside: An (unmasked) alarm of the line object is active. green inside: No (unmasked) alarm of the linePair object is active. red inside: An (unmasked) alarm of the linePair object is active.
The colours of the interfaces only change if the alarms related to the line and/or linePair object are set to enabled in the alarmMask. For more information, refer to 9.2.1 - Configuration alarm attributes on page 211. Example: If you want to avoid that the outside of the line connector turns red every time you execute a test, set the alarm testActive in the alarmMask of the line object to disabled. Note that by doing so, you also disable the sending of the testActive alarm to the central management system (e.g. HP OpenView).
Chapter 11 235 Software download
11 Software download
This chapter explains how to download new loader and application software (also called firmware) into the flash memory of the Crocus SHDSL G703. The following gives an overview of this chapter. 11.1 - What is boot, loader and application software? on page 236 11.2 - Important download issues on page 240 11.3 - Downloading with TMA on page 241 11.4 - Downloading with TML on page 242 11.5 - Downloading in loader mode on page 243

What is boot, loader and application software?
This section explains the difference between boot, loader and application software. The following gives an overview of this section: 11.1.1 - What is boot software? on page 237 11.1.2 - What is loader software? on page 238 11.1.3 - What is application software? on page 239
11.1.1 What is boot software?

What is boot software? The boot software takes care of the start-up of the Crocus SHDSL G703. It is located on the lowest software level. Functionality in boot mode In boot mode you can only download loader software to the Crocus SHDSL G703. The boot mode DIP switch You can force the Crocus SHDSL G703 in boot mode using a DIP switch. This is necessary in case you want to download new loader software. How to identify the Crocus SHDSL G703 runs in boot mode? When the Crocus SHDSL G703 runs in boot mode the PWR LED is on the RXD and TXD LED are in a random state all other LEDs are off.
11.1.2 What is loader software?

What is loader software? The loader software takes care of the download of application software to the Crocus SHDSL G703. It is located on the middle software level. When you start a download of application software while in application mode, the Crocus SHDSL G703 automatically falls back to loader mode. Functionality in loader mode In loader mode the Crocus SHDSL G703 has limited functionality. In loader mode you can download application software to the local Crocus SHDSL G703 download application software over the line to a remote Crocus SHDSL G703.
However, while in loader mode the Crocus SHDSL G703 can not transfer data be accessed with TMA be configured.
The loader mode DIP switch You can force the Crocus SHDSL G703 in loader mode using a DIP switch. This is necessary in case you want to download new application software. How to identify the Crocus SHDSL G703 runs in loader mode? When the Crocus SHDSL G703 runs in loader mode the PWR LED is on the TST LED is on.
When the Crocus SHDSL G703 switches from loader mode to application mode, the TST LED flashes 5 times.
11.1.3 What is application software?

What is application software? The application software, also called firmware, completely controls the Crocus SHDSL G703. It is located on the highest software level. Functionality in application mode In application mode the Crocus SHDSL G703 has full functionality.
11.2
Important download issues
When you upgrade the application software of the Crocus SHDSL G703, do not power off the Crocus SHDSL G703 until the TST LED stops blinking. Else the application software upgrade will fail. When you upgrade the application software of the Crocus SHDSL G703, do not power off the Crocus SHDSL G703 as long as only the PWR LED blinks and all the other LEDs are off. Else the application software upgrade will fail. When a Crocus SHDSL G703 is managed by a management concentrator (i.e. it is present in the management concentrator its objectTable and being polled), it is no longer possible to download software through the Crocus SHDSL G703 its control connector using TMA or TML. Instead, use the software distribution feature of the management concentrator. It is not possible to use the software distribution feature of a management concentrator to download loader software to a Crocus SHDSL G703. When you download new loader software, you also have to download the application software again.
11.3
Downloading with TMA
To download application software with TMA, proceed as follows: Step 1 2 3 Action Establish a link between TMA and the Crocus SHDSL G703 through the control connector. Refer to 4.1 - Starting TMA on the Crocus SHDSL G703 on page 42. In the TMA window select Tools Download In the TMA - Download window, select the Options tab:
Set the initial transfer speed to 9600 bps. If you set the maximum transfer speed to 115200 bps, the actual transfer speed will be negotiated between the computer and the Crocus SHDSL G703 and will be between 9600 bps and 115200 bps.

In the TMA - Download window, select the Configuration tab, and press Add In the Remote filename window:
1. Select the filename you want to download (Txxxxxxx.00). 2. Type CONTROL in the Remote file field. 3. Press Open. 6 When the TMA - Download window reappears, press OK.
The Crocus SHDSL G703 falls back to loader mode, then a DOS window opens
and shows the download progress.
11.4
Downloading with TML
When downloading with TMA (as explained in the previous section), you actually evoke TML (Total Memory Loader) through TMA. You can also use TML without opening TMA. To download application software with TML, proceed as follows: Step 1 Action Connect a serial port of your computer (e.g. COM1) through a straight DB9 male - female cable with the control connector of your Crocus SHDSL G703 as shown in the following figure:
2 3 4 5
Open a DOS window on your computer. Go to the directory where the TML executable is located. Typically this is C:\Program Files\TMA. Place the software file you want to download in this directory. Type the following command to download: application software: tml -c1 -v -f<Txxxxxxx.00>@CONTROL loader software: tml -c1 -b -f<Txxxxxxx.00>@CONTROL
where
tml is the executable (Total Memory Loader) to download files to the OneAccess
devices through their control port

-c1 specifies the COM port of the computer connected to the Crocus SHDSL G703
(in this example COM1)

-v returns graphical information on the download status -b puts the Crocus SHDSL G703 in boot mode. This is only necessary when you want to download loader software. -f<Txxxxxxx.00> is the software file you want to download (e.g. T1212001.00) CONTROL (in capitals!) specifies that the destination is a flash bank of the Crocus
SHDSL G703. To see a list of all the possible TML options: type TML in your DOS windows and press the ENTER key. 6 If you press the ENTER key, the software download begins.If you used the -v option together with the TML command, a graphical bar shows the download progress.
11.5
Downloading in loader mode
When a download of application software has failed or when a flash memory error occurs, the Crocus SHDSL G703 normally remains in loader mode. In other words, you can immediately retry to download the application software again. However, it may be possible that the application software becomes corrupt making the Crocus SHDSL G703 inoperative and inaccessible to TMA. In that case, new application software can still be downloaded by forcing the Crocus SHDSL G703 in loader mode using a DIP switch (refer to 3.1.2 - DIP switches of the TT on page 36. To download application software to a Crocus SHDSL G703 in loader mode, proceed as follows: Step 1 2 Action Disconnect the Crocus SHDSL G703 from the power supply. Set DIP switch bank DS1 position 2 to off. To locate this DIP switch bank and for the DIP switch setting procedure, refer to 3 - DIP switches and straps of the Crocus SHDSL G703 on page 33. 3 Reconnect the power supply to the Crocus SHDSL G703.
The Crocus SHDSL G703 is now in loader mode.

4 5 6 7 Now proceed as explained in 11.4 - Downloading with TML on page 242. When the download is finished, disconnect the Crocus SHDSL G703 from the power supply again. Reset DIP switch bank DS1 position 2 to on. Reconnect the power supply to the Crocus SHDSL G703.

12 Diagnostic tests
This chapter describes the diagnostic tests of the Crocus SHDSL G703. The following gives an overview of this chapter. 12.1 - Introducing the diagnostic tests on page 246 12.2 - Line tests on page 247 12.3 - Interface tests on page 255
Chapter 12 Diagnostic tests
12.1
Introducing the diagnostic tests
This section gives some introductory notes on the diagnostic tests. Test originators and corresponding priority levels The following table shows the possible test originators and their priority level. Diagnostic tests can be generated by the management system, the keyboard, the application via the interface, the remote Crocus SHDSL G703,(RDL test only) Example Phase 1 2 Action Start an interface test, for example AL. Start a test in TMA, for example RDL. Result The AL test is started. The AL test stops, and the RDL test starts. This because the interface test has a lower priority than the TMA test. The interface test, in this case AL, is restarted. with the priority level high. medium. low. low.
Stop the TMA test.
Important remarks Within the same priority level, the rule "first come, first served" applies. The management system can stop a test started by any originator. During the execution of a test, no normal data communication is possible. In order to avoid that the test would stay active for an indefinite time, and thus blocking the normal data transfer, a testDuration attribute is linked to the tests (refer to 6.3 - Line configuration attributes on page 131). This attribute determines how long a test lasts.
12.2
Line tests
This section describes the diagnostic tests you can start on the line of the Crocus SHDSL G703. The following gives an overview of this section: 12.2.1 - The line test action on page 248 12.2.2 - Error test on page 250 12.2.3 - Analogue loop on page 251 12.2.4 - Remote digital loop on page 252 12.2.5 - Digital loop on page 254
12.2.1 The line test action

This section describes the following test attributes: crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testActivation on page 249 crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testDuration on page 249
The location of the testActivation attribute in the Crocus SHDSL G703 containment tree is: crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testActivation (Status + Performance group)
Use this action to perform a test on the Crocus SHDSL G703. These tests are useful to trace possible problems. Possible tests are: no, al, dl, rdl, et, alEt, rdlEt. To execute a test, proceed as follows: Step 1 2 Action In the TMA window, select the object line and the group Performance or Status. In the action window of TMA, click the left mouse button on the field under the heading Argument Value.
A drop down box appears.

3 4 In the drop down box, select the test you want to execute. Press the right mouse button and select Execute.
crocusShdslTtRpG703/line/testDuration Use the testDuration attribute to set the time-out period of diagnostic tests. Tests are automatically terminated after this time-out period.
Default:00000d 00h 03m 00s Range: 00000d 00h 00m 01s 00000d 18h 12m 15s
The time-out ranges from 00000d 00h 00m 01s up to 00000d 18h 12m 15s. Entering 00000d 00h 00m 00s disables the time-out period (i.e. diagnostic tests are not terminated after a time-out period).
12.2.2 Error test

Initiating the ET test activates the internal error test pattern generator and detector. Possible errors which are received by the detector are accumulated in an internal register. The amount of errors can be seen with TMA, namely in the status attribute errorCount of the line object. The error LED on the front panel will also light. When the central modem uses a Dual Port G703-Serial interface and the remote modem uses a different interface, then starting an ET test on the remote modem only gives erroneous results. How to use this test? Example: Phase 1 Description Start an ET test on the local Crocus SHDSL G703.
A test pattern is sent down the line.

2 Start an ET test on the remote Crocus SHDSL G703.
The detector of the remote Crocus SHDSL G703 receives this test pattern,
and looks for possible errors in the pattern. The quantity of errors could be an indication of the line quality. Clocking during an ET test When an ET test is activated, the Crocus SHDSL G703 switches to internal clocking mode.
12.2.3 Analogue loop

Initiating the AL test establishes an analogue loop on the local Crocus SHDSL G703. This loop is compliant to loop 3 as described in the ITU-T recommendation V.54. The loop is situated immediately behind the analogue part of the local Crocus SHDSL G703, schematically represented as follows:
How to use this test? Example: Phase 1 Description Start an AL test on the local Crocus SHDSL G703.
An analogue loop is established on the local Crocus SHDSL G703.

2 Send data with the application.
If this data is received again by the application, the connection between the DTE
and the Crocus SHDSL G703 is OK. If not, it is possible that there is a bad connection between the DTE and the Crocus SHDSL G703. In combination with the ET test, the AL test can also be used as a self-test of the Crocus SHDSL G703. Clocking during an AL test The following table shows what happens with the clocking on the Crocus SHDSL G703 when an AL test is activated: If the Crocus SHDSL G703 is in internal clocking mode external clocking mode slave receive clocking mode and an AL test is activated, then it remains in internal clocking mode. remains in external clocking mode. switches to internal clocking mode.
12.2.4 Remote digital loop

Initiating the RDL test establishes a digital loop on the remote Crocus SHDSL G703. This loop is compliant to loop 2 as described in the ITU-T recommendation V.54. The loop is situated immediately behind the digital part of the remote Crocus SHDSL G703, schematically represented as follows:
Make sure that on the remote Crocus SHDSL G703 the rdlDetect attribute is set to enabled (refer to 6.6 DTE Interface configuration attributes on page 148). Else it is not possible to initiate an RDL test on the remote. How to use this test? Example: Phase 1 Description Start an RDL-ET test on the local Crocus SHDSL G703.
A digital loop is established on the remote Crocus SHDSL G703 and a test pattern
is sent down the line. 2 3 Because the remote side is in a digital loop, the test pattern returns to the local Crocus SHDSL G703. The detector receives this test pattern, and can compare it with the original transmitted pattern.
The quantity of inconsistencies that might exist between the original and the
returned pattern could be an indication of the line quality.
Clocking during an RDL test The following table shows what happens with the clocking on the Crocus SHDSL G703 when an RDL test is activated: If the Crocus SHDSL G703 local is in internal clocking mode external clocking mode slave receive clocking mode remote any clocking mode and an RDL test is activated, then it . remains in internal clocking mode. remains in external clocking mode. switches to internal clocking mode. switches to slave receive clocking mode.
12.2.5 Digital loop

Initiating the DL test also establishes a digital loop, but on the local Crocus SHDSL G703 itself. This loop is compliant to loop 2 as described in the ITU-T recommendation V.54. The loop is situated immediately behind the digital part of the remote Crocus SHDSL G703, schematically represented as follows:
How to use this test? With this test, you can verify the same things as with the remote digital loop. The only difference is that the loop is not made on the remote Crocus SHDSL G703 (as with RDL), but on the local Crocus SHDSL G703. This can be necessary when, for example, the remote Crocus SHDSL G703 is unable to initiate a remote digital loop test. Clocking during a DL test When a DL test is activated, the Crocus SHDSL G703 switches to slave receive clocking mode.
12.3
Interface tests
For some DTE interfaces it is possible that the application (the DTE) initiates a test on the Crocus SHDSL G703 via the interface. The following table gives an overview of which tests are available on which interfaces. It also gives a short description of the available tests. Available tests Analog loop (AL) Description For G703 the sending of the Sa6 bit sequence 1111
initiates an analogue loop (loop 3) on the local Crocus SHDSL G703, in compliance with ITU-T recommendation V.54. Refer to 12.2.3 - Analogue loop on page 251. Remote Digital Loop (RDL) For G703 the sending of the Sa6 bit sequence 1010
initiates a digital loop (loop 2) on the remote Crocus SHDSL G703, in compliance with ITU-T recommendation V.54. Refer to 12.2.4 - Remote digital loop on page 252.
Note that also these tests are automatically terminated after the time-out period as set using the testDuration attribute. The interface tests can be disabled via the tests attribute.

These values are valid starting from Crocus SHDSL G703 PCB revision 1.2 and firmware revision T2141/00800, T2145/00600 and T2136/01300 and higher. If the Signal to Noise ratio is 23dB, this matches a noise margin of 0dB. A noise margin of minimum 2dB is considered a minimum for an error ratio that matches at least 10E-7 (= S/N ratio of 25dB). In performance tests with noise, a noise margin of 6dB is usually taken (matching S/N ratio 29dB). From experience, it can be concluded that a 27dB S/N ratio gives no errors, at 25dB errors are rare.

13.10 Thermal behaviour when providing remote power

This section specifically refers to the Crocus SHDSL Card Verions that can be inserted in the CN4 rack, being the central part of the network (with a number of Crocus SHDSL TT s at the remote side). When using remote power, certain limitations apply with regards to the number of Card Versions that can be inserted in the CN4, CN4-4 and CN4-2 rack. Not complying with these rules will result in irreversible damage to the device. The following table gives an overview: Rack CN4-2 Limitations Thermal Only 1 card allowed that provides remote power. This card must be inserted in the lowest of both slots where cooling is more efficient. Ambient temperature must not be higher than 50 C.
Power CN4-4 DC or AC powering
Thermal Maximum 4 cards that provide remote power are allowed. Natural cooling of the CN4-4 must be effective : the CN4-4 must be used in an upright position, not lying flat on its side. Ambient temperature must not be higher than 45 C.
Power CN4 DC or AC powering. AC powering with 300W PSU. AC power redundancy is allowed (if 2 AC PSU 's are present).
Thermal If forced cooling is available, up to 12 cards delivering remote power can be installed. If only natural cooling is available, maximum 7 cards delivering remote power can be installed, provided that a slot is left free between each card. Ambient temperature must not be higher than 40 C.
Power DC or AC powering AC powering with 2 300W PSU 's. No AC power redundancy allowed
