Objective
•To demonstrate the understanding of DSL and its functioning
What is DSL ?
•DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line
•A technology for enabling high speed information transfer over ordinary
copper telephone lines
•A DSL line can carry both data and voice signals
•DSL is a common residential broadband connection
Benefits of DSL
•DSL allows voice and high speed data to be sent simultaneously over the same line
•It’s “always on” – no need to dial up each time you need to access your network
•You can leave your Internet connection open and still use the phone line for voice
calls
•The speed is much higher than a regular modem (1.5 Mbps vs. 56 Kbps)
•DSL doesn't necessarily require new wiring; it can use the phone line you already
have
Types of DSL
•HDSL - High Bit Rate DSL
•SDSL - Symmetric DSL
•IDSL - ISDN DSL
•VDSL - Very high bit rate DSL
•ADSL - Asymmetric DSL
•ADSL 2
•ADSL 2 Plus
Asymmetric DSL (ADSL)
•ADSL is a type of DSL where the upstream and downstream bandwidth are
assigned different amounts of bandwidth
•Typical configurations today are 2Mb downstream and 128Kb upstream
•This means that downloads are faster than uploads
Working of ADSL
•It transforms plain old telephone lines into a high speed conduit for data, information
and entertainment
•It utilizes more of the bandwidth on phone lines than what is currently used for plain
old telephone service
•The DSL technology uses the frequencies above the telephone bandwidth
•Splitter divides the data and voice separately making internet usage and voice calls
work simultaneously
•Frequency that voice signal uses is up to 4 kHz and DSL uses up to 1.2 MHz
ADSL Frequency Plan
ADSL ITU Standards
What is Bandwidth
•Amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time
period (usually a second)
•Bandwidth is usually expressed in bits (of data) per second (bps)
•Occasionally it is also expressed in bytes per second (Bps)
Bandwidth
•Similar to a pipe capacity to carry water, gas or petroleum
•It tells – how big is the pipe?

Units in Data Transmission


•Bits Per Second ( bps ) – Measure of Data speed in an second
•1 Kbps = 1,024 Bps
•1 Mbps = 1,024 Kbps
A web page on an average would be 40 to 50 Kilobytes in size
•0 / 1 = 1 Bit
•1 B = 8 Bites
•1 Kb = 1,024 Bites
•1 Mb = 1,024 Kilobites
•1 Gb = 1,024 Megabites
Basic System Requirement
•To connect to DSL modem, minimum requirements are:
–Operating System (OS) – Win 98 SE
–Pentium II
–128 MB RAM
–USB / LAN Port
•USB Modem doesn’t support all OS
–(For e.g. WIN NT, WIN 95, WIN98FE, Linux, Unix, Apple Mac)
•Ethernet Modem and Routers support all OS
–Internet Explorer 5 or above
Understanding DSL Connectivity (Basic)
What is a Modem
•A device that converts the digital signal from a computer to an analog signal
that can be transmitted along an ordinary phone line and vice versa
•It allows computers to connect to the Internet through a telephone line
Types of Modem
•Dial-up Modem
–For dial up internet access
•DSL Modem
–USB
•For DSL internet access for stand alone connection
–Ethernet Modem
•For DSL internet access in network
–Wireless Modem
Functioning of a Modem
What is a Splitter
•A device that is used to
–Separate the downstream /incoming signal into voice and data separately
•Also known as low pass filter
•Voice signal has frequency up to 4 KHz
•DSL/data signal frequency varies from 25 KHz to 1.2 MHz
•Provide path towards the DSLAM to the upstream / outgoing voice and data
signals
Benefits of Splitter
•Only one wire is required to be laid for providing two utilities
•Hence, saving in cost in transporting voice and data
What is DSLAM
•Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer
•A network device that separates DSL signals into data and voice and
combines the data and voice signals and directs them to their respective
destinations
•Destination – upstream
–RSU for voice and SDH for data
Functioning of DSLAM – Upstream
•Receives combined signals from multiple customer’s DSL connections
•Separate data and voice signals
•Put data stream on a high-speed backbone line (SDH)
•Directs the voice stream towards the voice switch (MSU)
•Depending on the product, DSLAM multiplexers connect DSL lines with
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame relay or IP networks
•Usually it is located at a ISP’s Remote Switching Unit (RSU)
Functioning of DSLAM – Downstream
•Receives voice traffic from switch
•Receives ADSL traffic from SDH / Internet
•Intermixes the two signals and directs towards the customer's DSL line
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)
•Synchronous Digital Hierarchy is a technique of:
–Converting data stream in form of packets to light signals
–Synchronous data Transmission (light signal) over fiber optic cables
•SDH carries data traffic, such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and
Internet protocol (IP) within rates that are integer multiples of 155.52 Mbps
SDH Functioning
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
•It is a dedicated - connection switching technology
–Sends a series of same size frames (53 bytes) regardless of network size
–Contains a header which has information about source and destination
endpoints to aid data transportation
–Allows client specific accuracy and speed of data transfer
–Provides unobstructed speed without architectural speed limitations
–Supports integration of voice, video, and data services on a single network
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
What is a Router
•A junction between two or more networks to buffer and transfer data packets
among them
•Routes incoming data packets to the appropriate network
•Finds the best route between any two networks, even if there are several
networks to traverse
–Creates and maintains a table of available routes and uses this information along with
distance and cost algorithms to determine the best route for a given data packet
COPS
•COPS is a query and response protocol used to:
–Exchange policy information between a policy server and its clients or policy
enforcement points
–Provide message level security for authentication, replay protection, and message
integrity
COPS
•COPS addresses the following queries:
–What download / upload bandwidth will the subscriber get?
–What Ports can he access?
–What will be his default homepage?
–What should be his next hop? etc…
LDAP
•Lightweight Directory Access Protocol addresses the following:
–Allows cross-platform availability of data
–Helps in accessing this data from a number of computers and application
–Allows changing of individual records
LDAP
•LDAP helps in following:
–Accessing information about user such as
Username
Password
Static IP address
Plan (minimum & maximum bandwidth)
–Keeping directory of all network policies
RADIUS
•Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service performs:
–Authentication, based upon Username, Password and Port binding details
–Authorization whether the user is allowed on the network and with what permissions
e.g. Bandwidth, Ports and URLs
–Keeps an account of records
–Returns IP Pool name to ERX
SDX
•Service Deployment Engine does following:
–Keeps track of the billing system with the help of information from the LDAP server
–Allows to configure and stores all rules and permissions which will be applied to a
customer when he logs in
–All Schedulers (used for Night Bandwidth & Night Top UP) are configured in SDX
•Provides bandwidth on demand to client
•Stores all basic packages and policy configuration

GATEWAY
•Gateway is a special-purpose dedicated computer on a network that :
–Serves as an entrance to another network
–Connects two or more networks and routes packets from one network to the other
–It can also work as a proxy server and a firewall
Working of DSL
•The DSL connectivity /Network diagram can be broadly divided into two parts:
–Access Network

–Backend Network
Working of DSL
•Access Network Comprises of:
–CPE (Customer Premise Equipments) to RSU (Remote switching unit)
–RSU to SDH . This is also called as (Transport Network – SDH/MEN)
•Backend Network Comprises of:
–ATM Switch, IP Switch, ERX
–CISCO 7200 ROUTER for connectivity with VSNL and BBNL and SINGTEL – also
called as Gateway Network

Things To Check Before Unbarring


Dunning Tab –
Every telecom operator defines a dunning process that is used to remind subscribes
that their payables are overdue
Customer is requested to make payment
The Dunning Management System is a software package that:
-Handles all actions in a dunning process in one place
-Manages dunning processes by invoices or by subscribers
 Dunning Link enables us to check the status of services:
- Active
- OG BAR
- IC BAR
Things To Check Before Unbarring Cond.
•Payment history
–To check whether the latest payment has been updated or not and to check the total
outstanding for which services may be barred
•Cheque Status
– If customer has made the payment and it is not updated in the system then before
lodging a concern regarding PPNC, officers needs to check the status of cheque in
eCRM or Infotouch. If there is any status found in the system then officer needs to
communicate the same to the customer to resolve it online
•Bills
–Check latest and previous bills ( Due Date ) to know for which bill the services has
been barred

•If the Last payment was reversed due to any reason , services can only be
restored only when the payment will get reflected in the system. Eg. Cheque
reverse or SI/ECS reverse

•OG can be release on the basis if there is a concern regarding Previous Payment Not
Updated

•If customer has not received a hard copy of original bill then on this basis services can be
restored
–However agent needs to check the POD details and if there is any dispute regarding BNR ( Bill
not received ) then officers needs to take 1 complain regarding BNR and 1 request for OG
Services Restoration

•If there is any dispute regarding bill and the status of SR ( Service Request ) is still
open then on this basis, OG can be restored through Infotouch
In the case of the Previous Payment is Not Updated:
(PPNC )

Objective
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
•Discuss the reasons why complaints occur
•Demonstrate process of handling complaints
Complaint
•A customer voicing his / her dissatisfaction when he / she experiences…
–Product failure
•Phone dead
•Call drop
–Service failure
•Payment not posted
•Bill not received
Why complaints occur?
•A mismatch between expectations from the product and its performance
–E.g. A customer complains that he was told ISD is pre-activated in his connection
whereas this is not the case
•A perception of the customer, that the product is not functioning satisfactorily
–E.g. Customer feels that the network is poor in the area where his home is located
even though it is a handset problem
Why complaints occur?
•Lack of response from customer support department
–E.g. Calling up the helpline for information and getting an indifferent or rude reply
•Substandard Performance / Breakdown of either a part or the entire product
–E.g. Call drops due to congestion in the network

Why complaints occur?


•Emergence of a new product / technology from competition resulting in
dissatisfaction with current product
–E.g. Scheme offered by Competition reduces the call charges between Parent and
Add-on connection
•When commitments made are not kept by the selling organization
–E.g. CLIP was to be given free of cost for first 3 months, but is charged for the same
in the bill

Why Complaints Need To Be Handled?


•A customer gives repeat orders & provides referrals only if he is satisfied with
the product / organization
•An unvoiced complaint is more harmful as you don’t get a chance to redress
the complaint
•A complaint handled well strengthens the relationship

One dissatisfied customer will talk to nine people who in turn will talk to
nine others

•Offers ports to customers ranging in speeds from 64 kbps to STM-1


•Port speeds can be availed of in the nx64kbps, nxE1, nxDS3 and n x STM-1
modes.
•Extensive experience in delivering access to the Internet port via different
media viz. Copper, Fiber, Radio or Satellite access.
•Airtel provides both Internet Bandwidth & Last Mile to ensure seamless
connectivity and better support
•Considering that customers may/may-not require the ability to burst
depending on the application

Value Proposition

•Offers Internet Ports in both the Dedicated and Shared modes


•A dedicated port subscribed to by the customer is dedicated and exclusive on the
backbone for the customer ensuring committed availability for his applications
•A customer not requiring dedicated port availability, may choose a shared service
–Ports are shared in a 1:2, 1:3 or 1:4 manner guaranteeing the customer a
dedicated 50%, 33% or 25% speed of the subscribed port respectively
–The customer may get the benefit of extra bandwidth (burst) while other
customers on the shared port are not using the service
Leased Lines for Business
•A permanent telephone connection between two points set up by a telecommunications
common carrier
–Used by businesses to connect geographically distant offices for Internet or Data/
Voice applications
•Always active/on
•Fixed monthly rate
–Monthly fee depends upon the distance between end points and the speed of the
circuit
•Assure a given level of quality compared to other forms of connectivity
–Connection doesn't carry anybody else's communications
Leased Lines for Business
•A point-to-point link provides a pre-established WAN communications path from the
customer premises through the provider network to a remote destination.
•Usually leased from a carrier and are called leased lines
•Available in different capacities
•Leased lines provide direct point-to-point connections between enterprise LANs and
connect individual branches to a packet-switched network

Type of Leased Lines


Links are taken for:
•Customer Location to Customer Location
–Point to Point Links: To connect between 2 locations or Multiple Locations
– Basically taken to transfer Data/ Voice
•Customer Location to ISP
–Internet Leased Lines – To connect Between ISP and the client
–Basically taken to access Internet
•Customer Location to NLD
–To connect between 2 Offices situated in different states
•Customer Location to ILD
–To connect between 2 Offices situated in different countries
• Service Operator Infrastructure links

Leased lines to the WAN Cloud

Leased lines to the WAN Cloud (Cont’d)


•To connect to a packet-switched network, a subscriber needs a local loop to
the nearest location where the provider makes the service available
•This is called the point-of-presence (POP) of the service
•Normally this will be a dedicated leased line
•This line will be much shorter than a leased line directly connected to the
subscriber locations, and often carries several VCs (Virtual Circuits)
•Since it is likely that not all the VCs will require maximum demand
simultaneously, the capacity of the leased line can be smaller than the sum of
the individual VCs
Leased Lines as per the type of customer

•Any Telecom network is present over fixed locations in a particular area.

•Customers may be present at any location in the area

•The Last Mile refers to the connection between the POPs and the customer’s
premises

•Last Mile connectivity is one of the main challenges for telecom planners
Enter ISDN
Enter ISDN (Cont’d)
•You can use both a regular phone and computer equipment on an ISDN line
•ISDN takes away the need to convert the digital data in your computer to
analog data
•Thus multiple voice and data channels can be achieved

ISDN Channels
•ISDN provides two types of digital channels
–‘Bearer’ channels for Voice, Video and Data
–‘Data’ channels for Low-speed Data

•These are packaged in two offerings


–BRI (Basic Rate Interface)
–PRI (Primary Rate Interface)
BRI ISDN
•BRI ISDN gives you
–2 ‘B’ channels at 64Kbps each
–1 ‘D’ channel at 16Kbps
•You can combine the two B channels to give you 64+64=128 kbps of data
communication
•You can use the two ‘B’ channels as two separate voice phone lines
•You can use one ‘B’ channel for data and one for voice communication

PRI ISDN
•PRI ISDN gives you
–30 ‘Bearer’ channels at 64kbps each
– 1 ‘Data’ channel at 64kbps

•That’s 30 voice, data or video channels

•The channels can be dynamically combined or separated as the need for


bandwidth arises
Advantages of ISDN
•Dialup is fast. ISDN calls typically dial and connect in 1 to 3 seconds
•It's digital. 64kbps bandwidth for each "B" channel is guaranteed
•It's multi-mode. A "B" channel can carry data, voice, fax or video
•It concentrates calls: a PRI connection can deliver 30 concurrent calls
through one cable. A BRI delivers 2 calls through one cable

•ISDN was often used for last mile connectivity though now it is primarily used
for internet access and as a backup to the leased line

Lease Line/ Internet Lease Port / Internet Lease Line


•A leased line is a symmetric telecommunications line connecting two locations
•Also known as a 'Private Circuit' or 'Data Line'
•Unlike traditional PSTN lines it does not have a telephone number, each side of the line being
permanently connected to the other.
•Leased lines can be used for telephone, data or Internet services. Leased lines are usually
available at speeds of 256k, 512k, ,1M, 2M ,4M,8M

•ILP (Internet lease port) is where we install port (a MUX) directly at customers end, but in ILL
(Internet lease line) we provide it through copper cable and a LAN extender (schmid modem)
will be installing at customer premises

ILP/ ILL Customer Care Process


•ILP/ILL L2 services is available 24 x 7 , located at Noida Sec 57

•ILP /ILL customers from Delhi and other parts of North Hub calls the toll free number
44441255 and 4441255 respectively
•According to process call is landed in select touch here they log the concern in ECRM and
provides the FTN No. to customer ,then there the calls are transferred to ILP L2 Team ,the
transfer code is 6999

•If by some technical reasons if the call is routed to Voice or DSL call center agents need to
transfer the call to ILP L2, the transfer code is 6999

Note:- 6999 is also the transfer code for IPTV customer care

How to judge the customer is a ILP customer ?


•Customer provides the circuit Id. Normally the circuit id is the account number
•Currently in ECRM the product is mentioned as Fixed Lease Line , not ILP, so
there can be confusion
•Just check the account in CAF , if its not available in CAF check in Archived
CAF. e.g. customer has given the acc. No 13728703 and mentioned
connection is in Delhi then, check the account details in Delhi Unified CAF
/Delhi Archived CAF. Here the product would be mentioned as Internet Lease
Line

When the customer had to shift to any other state, he had to get his connection cancelled
and apply for a new connection at the new location. But now, the customer doesn't have
