1.
Click on the G.SHDSL hyperlink in the
Interface Type
column to go directly to the G.SHDSL Port Con-
figuration page. Configure the
Name
parameter here.
Name
—This parameter is configured on the G.SHDSL Port Configuration page. Enter the name of this
management link in the
Circuit ID
field for DSL link #3. Click on parameter.
2.
Return to the Configuration page for in-band management. Notice that the
Name
does not yet appear,
since the port is
none(0)
and not
port #2
. Configure the remaining parameters as follows:
Protocol Type
—Select
ppp-ipcp(1)
.
Port
—Select
port3(3)
. This selects G.SHDSL port #3.
Slot
—Always fixed to timeslot #1.
IP Address
—Enter
10.11.2.30
. For IPCP, this is the IP address assigned to the remote peer. The IP mask
is 255.255.255.255.
3.
Click on the
Modify
button. Go to the In-Band Mgmt main page. Notice that the
Name
now appears as
configured in the Circuit ID in the G.SHDSL configuration page.
Since we are not connecting anything to the serial port of the 3086, we do not map timeslots of G.SHDSL
port #3 to anything.
The remaining step is to configure the 3086 CPE.
Configure Model 3086 for an in-band management channel
This section will describe the configuration of the Model 3086, the configuration of the G.SHDSL manage-
ment channel, and a summary of the various parameters.
For complete configuration of the Model 3086, refer to the
Model 3086 Getting Started Guide
available on the
Patton website. Some of the configurable parameters must meet certain requirements for this application.
G.SHDSL parameters:
•
Intended DSL Data Rate—set to 192kbps
•
DSL Protocol—must be “hdlc”
•
DSL Allocation—must be “Ethernet and Serial”
•
Intended Serial Rate—Set to 128kbps. This is equal to the “Intended DSL Data Rate” minus 64kbps. The
64kbps represents the single DS0 timeslot which terminates on the Ethernet for all the management traffic.
The remaining timeslots make up the “Intended Serial Rate” is mapped to the serial port for regular data.
Service Parameters:
•
Configure for routed PPP
•
IP address—The WAN port will accept the IP address from the 3096RC IPCP link, since it operates as an
unnumbered interface.
Ethernet IP address:
10.10.1.100/24 (this IP address is in a different subnet than either the 3096RC or IPCP IP addresses.)
