2.1.2 End Showtime
When fnished testing, close the link:
1. Select from the module main menu, MODEM CONTROL > END SHOWTIME.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, and press ENTER.
3. The screen displays CLOSING LINK and COMPLETE when fnished. Also note that
the top message shows WAITING at the end of the process.
4. When fnished, press ESC.
Note: It is good practice to manually close the link instead of just unplugging from the signal.
When you close the link, the test set sends a Close Command message to the DSLAM.
The DSLAM then knows why the signal is lost when the test set is disconnected.
2.1.3 Initiate Handshake
The test set automatically initiates handshake with the far end modem upon powering up.
However, if the link needs to be reopened, select this item.
1. Select from the module main menu, MODEM CONTROL > INITIATE HANDSHAKE.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, and press ENTER.
3. The screen displays TRAINING. The top left on-screen message displays WAITING
followed by TRAINING. The xTU-C (CO mode) or xTU-R (CPE mode) LED should be
blinking red, indicating the test set is trying to connect.
4. If there is a successful connection, the CURRENT STATUS screen is displayed. The
top left on-screen message displays SHOWTIME and the xTU-C (CO mode) or xTU-
R (CPE mode) LED is green. If unsuccessful, TRAINING is displayed and the xTU-C
(CO mode) or xTU-R (CPE mode) LED continues blinking red.

Figure 7 Current Status Screens
The left CURRENT STATUS screen in Figure 7 reports the following information for both
DOWNSTREAM and UPSTREAM:
RATE: Current rate reported in kbps or Mbps.
MAX: Maximum attainable rate reported in kbps or Mbps.
CPTY: Capacity is a percentage ratio of Line Rate/Maximum Rate. A common industry
threshold for capacity is a measurement of less than 85% for a stable line.
SNRM: Signal-to-Noise Ratio Margin in dB. A common industry threshold is a minimum
SNRM of 8.0 dB for a stable line.
ATTN: Attenuation in dB.
PATH: This shows the latency path; INTL (Interleaved) if the delay is
>
/
=
2ms, or FAST if
the delay is between 01ms.
Press to view the right CURRENT STATUS screen shown in Figure 7. It reports the follow-
ing information for both DOWNSTREAM and UPSTREAM (except FAR END VENDOR):
DELY: Actual Interleaver Delay reported in ms (millisecond). The delay ranges from
163mS. The interleaver delay is set to meet the network service providers requirements
for error burst protection and latency.
INP: Actual Impulse Noise Protection is used in conjunction with the interleaver delay setting,
INP enables enhanced noise protection and is being used more for IP video applications.
DEPH: Actual Interleaving Depth is an indication of how many frames are allocated for in-
terleaving. The interleaver depth is set to meet the network service providers requirements
for error burst protection and latency. The range for depth is 14096.
PWR: Aggregate transmit Power.
FAR END VENDER: Reads the vendor ID code provided from the CO ATU-C, if MODEM
MODE is set for CPE, or the code from the CPE ATU-R, if the MODEM MODE is set for CO.
CURRENT STATUS F-keys
RETRAIN (F3): Restart the link with the far end device.
STORE (F4): Save the reported results. See Section 2.6.
Interpreting the Results
Fixed Rate Circuits
Fixed rate circuits specifes an exact data rate for the customer. If testing a Fixed Rate
service, look at the following:
2 UDSL Module Menus 13
RATE: Confrm that this value equals the fxed rate set for the circuit, in both the upstream and
downstream directions. For example, if the circuit under test is confgured for a fxed rate of
22016 kbps downstream/5504 kbps upstream, confrm that this measurement is achieved.
SNRM: Confrm that the signal-to-noise margin complies with your companys requirements. A
common standard is 8 dB, higher values can provide more room for any introduced noise.
Rate Adaptive Circuits
Rate adaptive circuits specify minimum and maximum data rates for a circuit, and try to
attain the maximum rate set by the DSLAM. If testing a Rate Adaptive service, look at the
following:
RATE: This value should be between the minimum and maximum thresholds set for the
circuit.
SNRM: The signal-to-noise margin value also needs to be above the minimum allowable
margin. Commonly it is 8 dB, your margin might be higher. Since rate adaptive circuits try
to use all the possible bandwidth, the noise margin will typically be very close to 6 dB (or
the minimum value).

information for both LOCAL and REMOTE:
CRC/CV: Cyclic Redundancy Check anomaly indicates that in the datastream, a received
CRC-8 code is not identical to the locally calculated CRC-8 code.
FEC: Forward Error Correction anomaly indicates that errors have been corrected in the
datastream.
SEF: Number of Severely Errored Frames defects during measurement (LOCAL only).
HEC: Header Error Control error indicates that an ATM cell with an incorrect HEC is con-
tained in the datastream.
Press to view the right ERROR MEASUREMENTS screen shown in Figure 8. It reports the
following information for both LOCAL and REMOTE (except BER and RETRAINS):
ES: An Errored Second is defned as one second containing one or more CRC/CV errors.
SES: A Severely Errored Second is defned as one second containing 18 or more CRC/
CV errors.
UAS: An Unavailable Second begins after ten consecutive severely errored seconds.
BER: Estimated Bit Error Ratio calculation based on the DSL Forum TR-100 standard.
RETRAINS: Number of resynchronizations (retrains) that have occurred since the start of
the measurement.

SNR PER TONE
2.2.3.1 Bits Per Tone
This feature measures the bits per tone distribution used by the modem to transmit at the pro-
visioned rate. It displays the number of bits assigned per tone as a graphic or as a table.
During modem initialization, a signal-to-noise measurement for each tone is made. Bit distribu-
tion is then optimized to meet the desired bit rate. Each tone can support a theoretical maxi-
mum of 15 bits. During operation, the bit distribution may be adjusted to optimize bandwidth.
The modem constantly monitors the signal-to-noise ratio for each tone. If a tone degrades in
quality, it sends a bit swap command to adjust the amount of bits assigned to that particular
tone. These bits may be added to a different tone or taken out completely.

Figure 9 Bits Per Tone Screens
In the left screen in Figure 9, the left block of bits represents the upstream signal. The higher
frequency group at the right represents the downstream signal. There is a buffer between
the upstream and downstream frequencies, which is represented by the gap between the
upstream and downstream tones.
To learn the exact bit count and frequency of a specifc tone, see the line just above the graph.
This line provides the bit count for the tone marked by the pointer arrow. In Figure 9, the pointer
arrow is at the frst downstream tone, thus the line reads tone 65 (280 kHz) with two bits.
To move the pointer arrow:
Press or to move the pointer arrow one tone at a time.
Press << (F1) or >> (F2) to move the pointer arrow to another tick mark shown on the
horizontal axis of the graph.
The Graphic can display two different scales using ZOOM (F3):
The frst scale displays all 255 tones in the same screen, as in the left screen in Figure 9.
Press ZOOM (F3) to display 0127 tones in one screen, move the pointer past 127 to
view tones 128255 in one screen. Press ZOOM (F3) to return to the frst view of all
255 tones in the same screen.
You can also view a table of the tones by pressing TABLE (more, F4). An example is shown
in the right screen in Figure 9. Listed for each tone is the number of bits assigned to it. Press
or to scroll through all tones.
In either screen, press the STORE F-key to save the results. See Section 2.6 for details.
Interpreting the Results
The lower frequency tones represent the bandwidth used for the upstream signal. The higher
frequency tones at the right show the frequencies used for the downstream signal.
The bits should drop to zero after the end of the upstream. This is the buffer between
the upstream and downstream signals. The actual size of this buffer varies.
2 UDSL Module Menus 15
If there is a major drop in bits in either the downstream or the upstream section, this
may indicate that there is a possible interferer at that frequency. For example, if there
is a major drop at 772 kHz, this may represent an interfering T1 signal.
2.2.3.2 SNR Per Tone
This feature measures the signal-to-noise ratio for each downstream tone used by the modem
to transmit the provisioned rate. It displays the SNR per tone as a graphic or as a table.
During modem initialization, a signal-to-noise measurement is made for each tone; bit dis-
tribution is then optimized to meet the desired bit rate. During operation, the bit distribution
may be adjusted to optimize bandwidth. The modem constantly monitors the signal-to-noise
ratio for each tone. If a tone degrades in quality, it sends a bit swap command to adjust
the amount of bits assigned to that particular tone. These bits may be added to a different
tone or taken out completely.

Confgure these settings for a DSL-ATM interface:
ENCAPSULATION
Options: LLC (F1), VC MUX (F2)
Choose the encapsulation method for carrying traffc over AAL Type 5 over ATM.
LLC: Logical Link Control based on IEEE standard 802.2. LLC encapsulation is used
when multiple protocol are encapsulated over a single ATM Virtual Connection.
VC MUX: Used when only one protocol is carried over a single ATM Virtual Connection.
PAP/CHAP (MODE = PPPoA or PPPoE)
Options: PAP (F1), CHAP (F2), AUTO (more, F1), NONE (more, F2)
The authentication layer ensures that only a valid device establishes a connection with the
network using the entered USER IP and PASSWORD (unless NONE is selected).
PAP: Password Authentication Protocol as defned in RFC 1334. PAP is the simplest
method for authentication. It involves a two-way handshake where one peer sends a
user name and ID to another peer element in the network. The second peer returns an
authentication-acknowledge message either accepting or rejecting the user name and
password.
CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol as defned in RFC 1994. It involves
a three-way handshake, in which the test set sends a challenge containing its user name.
The server responses with a specifc identifer expected for this transaction. The test set
then accepts or rejects this response, when accepted the test set starts sending data.
AUTO: Use this recommended setting to automatically detect the authentication.
NONE: USER IP and PASSWORD is not used.
VPI
Range: 0255
The default is 8, which is a typical Ethernet assignment. Along with VCI, VPI identifes the
next destination of a cell as it moves through a series of ATM switches on the way to its
destination. The service provider typically assigns VPI.
2 UDSL Module Menus 19
VCI
Range: 065535
The default is 35, which is a typical Ethernet assignment. Along with VPI. VCI identifes
the next destination of a cell as it moves through a series of ATM switches on the way to
its destination. The service provider typically assigns VCI.
IP TYPE
Options: STATIC (F1), DHCP/DYNAMIC (F2)
STATIC: This type of IP management means that the user has a permanent IP address.
For STATIC, enter the LOCAL IP; this will be the value used during the test.
DHCP/DYNAMIC: This refers to dynamic IP management. When selecting DHCP or DYNAMIC
for IP TYPE, the module sends a request to the server; the server responds and provides
an IP address.
LOCAL IP (IP TYPE = STATIC)
Enter a local IP address of the circuit under test. For BRIDGE and ROUTED modes, this
local IP address needs to be entered by you if STATIC is used.
PEER IP (MODE = CLIPoA)
Enter a Peer IP address of the circuit under test. For CLIPoA modes, this Peer IP address
needs to be entered by you if STATIC is used.
GATEWAY (IP TYPE = STATIC)
If required, enter a gateway address, or press NONE (F1). A gateway is a device that con-
nects dissimilar networks and passes information between them. In TCP/IP, the default
gateway address is the address where the Internet Protocol sends packets destined for
remote networks, unless a different route is confgured.
SUBNET MASK (IP TYPE = STATIC)
If required, enter a Subnet address of the circuit under test, or use the default address that
the test set initially displays.
DNS SERVER (IP TYPE = STATIC)

DSL-ATM: This interface uses the UDSL module port. Select this for traditional ATM
encapsulated protocols; PPPoE, PPPoA, and Bridged.
DSL-PTM: This interface uses the UDSL module port. Select this for newer IP based
DSLAMs that support Packet Transfer Mode (PTM). It supports Routed and PPPoE
protocols.
10/100: This interface uses the 10/100 (Ethernet) module port.
MODE
DSL-ATM Options: BRIDGED (F1), PPPoE (more, F1), PPPoA (more, F2)
DSL-PTM Options: ROUTED (F2), PPPoE (F3)
10/100 Options: AUTO (F1)
BRIDGED: Bridged protocol according to RFC 2684 bridge encapsulation. It supports both
static and DHCP IP management. This mode is available for the DSL-ATM interface.
ROUTED supports static and DHCP IP addressing. This mode is available for the DSL-
PTM interface.
PPPoE: Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet according to RFC 2516. It supports dynamic
IP addressing. This mode is available for both the DSL-ATM and DSL-PTM interfaces.
PPPoA: Point to Point Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), according to RFC
2364. It supports dynamic IP addressing and is available for the DSL-ATM interface.
AUTO: This is only available if 10/100 (Ethernet) is selected for INTERFACE. The mode
parameter is automatically set to AUTO (Auto Sense).

Use the following procedure in the order given:
1. Power up the SunSet MTT.
2. Setup the module for the circuit under test. See Section 2.1.1 for details.
3. After WAITING is displayed, connect the SunSet MTT to the circuit as shown in Figure
56. The module contains an RJ-45 jack (UDSL port). Depending on the access point, use
an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable, RJ-45-to-RJ-11 cable, or an RJ-45 to alligator clips cable.
4. The test set automatically tries to synchronize with the ATU-C. Refer to the top lines of
the screen for status information.
5. While the test set is trying to connect with the ATU-C, it will continue to display WAIT-
ING and the xTU-C (CO mode) or xTU-R (CPE mode) LED will blink red.
6. When the ATU-R recognizes the ATU-Cs response, it displays TRAINING. This indi-
cates that it has made contact with the ATU-C and is starting the handshake procedure
to establish synchronization; SHOWTIME.
7. If the ATU-R successfully connects with the ATU-C, the test set automatically displays
the CURRENT STATUS screen. The message now reads SHOWTIME and the xTU-C
(CO mode) or xTU-R (CPE mode) LED is green. See Section 2.2.1 for details on this
screen.
If unsuccessful, the test set will try again to establish synchronization during which time
the xTU-C (CO mode) or xTU-R (CPE mode) LED is red.
