DSL Ports (DSL Parameters) 8312 ReachDS v2 Card

8314 ReachDSL v2 Card
A-B-A
Provides the ability to configure the operational and alarm parameters of the DSL ports on
the 8312/8314 ReachDSL v2 card. Each DSL port is configured separately.
NOTE: For other types of port cards, refer to the appropriate section in this table.
Action – Edit/Port Reset/Link Reset. Use Edit to configure the DSL ports. Use Port Reset
to reset the port and make Tx Power and On-hook Voltage Drop Threshold changes
active. Use Link Reset to reset the port and make link encapsulation changes active.
Port Name – Enter 1–12.
State – Port state. This field is read-only.
SN Type – Enter 6310, 6350, or 6351 (Default = 6350). If a SN is already connected, its
model number appears here. This field determines the available Max Up Speed, Max Dn
Speed, Tx Power, Voltage Drop Thresholds, and Link Encapsulation selections. Use
Ctrl-v for a pop-up menu with available selections.
Line Type – The current operating line type. ReachDSL displays if the SN Type is 6350 or
6351. MVL displays if the SN Type is 6310. This field is read-only.
Behavior – Adaptive. In rate adaptive mode, the rates will vary between the minimum
and maximum speeds as the transmission characteristics of the loop change. This field is
read-only.
Link Encapsulation – Determines the protocol to be run on the selected port.
(Default = EtherHDLC). Use Ctrl-v for a pop-up menu with available selections. Choose
from the following:
– EtherHDLC for IP packet applications
– FUNI/MPOA for 8314 cards only with a 6351 endpoint
NOTE: If you select FUNI/MPOA, the endpoint must be configured for routing only,
otherwise the line will fail to come up and a SYSLOG message will be generated.
Max Dn Speed – 0/768/704/640/576/512/448/384/320/256/192/128 Kbps (Default =
768). If the SN Type is 6350 or 6351, speeds of 960/896/832 are also valid. The
0 selection mutes the transmitter and prevents the line from coming up. When Max Dn
Speed is set to 0, Max Up Speed will also be set to 0.
Max Up Speed – 0/768/704/640/576/512/448/384/320/256/192/128 Kbps (Default =
768). If the SN Type is 6350 or 6351, speeds of 960/896/832 are also valid. The
0 selection mutes the transmitter and prevents the line from coming up. When Max Up
Speed is set to 0, Max Dn Speed will also be set to 0. Max Up Speed cannot be greater
than Max Dn Speed.
On-hook Tx Power – 10, 7, 4, 1, –2 dBm. If the SN Type is 6350 or 6351, TX Power of
12 dBm is also valid. (Default = 12 dBm for Model 8312/8314-011with 6350/6351 SN.
Default = 10 dBm for Model 8312/8314-011 with 6310 SN and Model 8312-013 with any
SN. See the General Card Information screen (B-A-A) for card model number.) The
transmit power level used for the on-hook state. Both the AN and the SN will use the
same value. If the maximum allowable speed is between 128 and 448 Kbps, the already
low cross-talk levels may be reduced even more by lowering the on-hook transmit level.
