Connecting the SHDSL Lines
An SNE2020G-S must be connected via an SHDSL line to an SNE2020G-P, a Mini
DSLAM, a Micro DSLAM, or a Broadband Access Concentrator (BAC) interface module.
Neither a subscriber-to-subscriber nor a provider-to-provider connection will function.
Loop Bonded Connection
Using two SHDSL lines for one network connection (loop bonding) will yield twice the
speed of a single SHDSL connection. A second SHDSL line also provides a backup
should one of the lines become disabled.
The SHDSL equipment at both ends of a subscriber line must be loop bonding capable
in order for the SNE2020G to utilize the loop bonding feature. Refer to the
SDSL Loop
Bonding Product to Product Feature Compatibility
document on the Paradyne website
for a complete list of SDSL loop bonding capable products and required firmware
versions.
Procedure
To establish a loop bonding connection:
1.
Plug your SHDSL cables into the SHDSL RJ45 ports (SDSL 1 and SDSL 2) on the
back of the SNE2020G. The order of connection is not important.
2.
Verify both connections: the SDSL 1 and SDSL 2 LEDs on the front of the
SNE2020G will pulse green to indicate the connections are established and
operational.
Single Line Connection
Procedure
To establish a single line connection:
1.
Plug your SHDSL cable into one of the two SHDSL RJ45 ports on the back of the
SNE2020G. Either port (SDSL 1 or SDSL 2) may be used.
2.
Verify the connection: the SDSL LED on the front of the SNE2020G (SDSL 1 or
SDSL 2, depending upon which port was connected) will pulse green to indicate the
connection is established and operational.
Link up time between local and remote SHDSL network extenders can vary from one to
five minutes depending on the quality, gauge and distance of the copper cables. If cable
distance is greater than a particular bandwidth will support, the units may not link up or,
if they do achieve link, traffic quality may be affected.
