G.SHDSL connector
Use the 8-pin modular jack (G.SHDSL connector) for connection to G.SHDSL circuits. If you are using through mode, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack on the top panel. WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK Electrical shock may result in serious injury or death. Use care when connecting to telecommunications circuits, to be sure that you do not come in contact with exposed conductors or power mains. Connect TNV signals to TNV ports only. The connector uses pins 4 and 5 for 2-wire G.SHDSL and the first pair of 4-wire G.SHDSL. The second pair for 4-wire uses either 1 and 2 or 3 and 6.
Sealing current The sealing current terminator, HST3000-SC, is an optional terminator accessory available for DSL service. It is used when sealing
current or wetting current must be terminated. Typically this occurs in an all-digital environment, but is not typical in DSL since the equipment (NT1 or telephone) provides termination. The LED on the module indicates presence of sealing current. Place the module in-line, using the provided test cable. The module is designed to terminate voltages under 80 volts, anything over 80V may make the module act erratic (LED flicker, go dim, etc.) NOTE: It is not recommended leaving the sealing current terminator on the line in the presence of a repeater because the module oscillates and could cause signal integrity issues effecting HST test results. CAUTION: DAMAGE TO MODULE Placing the sealing current terminator on a line with voltage over 150 volts may damage the unit.

Accessing the G.SHDSL testing feature

Using an HST-3000 with G.SHDSL testing capability, you can perform tests in the following modes: STU-R TE (terminal equipment) STU-R through STU-C TE STU-C through 380V Line RTU Ethernet TE The following procedure describes how to access the G.SHDSL testing feature. To access the G.SHDSL testing feature 1 Press the Home navigation key. 2 Press the G.SHDSL soft key. The G.SHDSL Measurements menu appears.
The following sections describe these modes and how to use them.
Chapter 2 G.SHDSL Testing Testing in G.SHDSL STU-R TE mode
Testing in G.SHDSL STU-R TE mode

In STU-R TE modem emulate mode, you can use the HST-3000 to terminate the line instead of the CPE. The modem emulation test involves the following steps: selecting modem emulate mode setting test parameters connecting to the line performing the tests
Selecting The first step for the test is to select STU-R TE modem STU-R TE mode emulate mode.
To select STU-R TE mode From the G.SHDSL Measurements menu, select G.SHDSL STU-R TE. The Summary statistics menu appears. The HST is in STU-R TE mode.
Setting test Before you begin testing, make sure the HST-3000 setup parameters matches the parameters of the line that you are testing.
The following sections describe how to set the test parameters. NOTE: To synchronize with the modem at the other end, you only need to set the general modem parameters. To use IP ping or the web browser, you must set the other parameters as well.
Setting general The following procedure describes how to set the general modem modem parameters. parameters To set the general modem parameters 1 Press the Configure navigation key. The parameter soft keys appear. 2 Press the GENERAL soft key. The General Settings menu appears.
3 Select Phys. Standard, and then change the settings as appropriate for the physical standard in use. This is the physical standard to which the modem will operate: G.991.2 (Annex A) G.991.2 (Annex B) G.991.2 (Annex B ANFP) G.991.2 (Annex A) 4-wire G.991.2 (Annex B) 4-wire G.991.2 (Annex B ANFP) 4-wire 4 Select Func. Standard, and then change the settings as appropriate for the functional standard in use. The functional standard is the standard to which the modem will adhere, G.991.2 (mostly North America), or ETSI TS 101 524-1 (mostly Europe).
10
5 Select Auto Sync, and then change the settings as appropriate for auto sync. This specifies whether the HST-3000 will automatically attempt to re-sync with the DSLAM if the connection drops. 6 Select Power Backoff, and then change the settings as appropriate for power backoff. When enabled, this allows the transceiver to reduce the transmit power by 6 dB if the estimated line power loss is 6 dB or less. 7 Select Rate Mode, and then specify the baud rate mode. This selection is only available for 2-wire circuits. The fixed mode requests a particular rate at the connection. Adaptive mode allows the CPE and the DSLAM to negotiate a baud rate. 8 Select Payload Rate, and then enter the data transfer rate. This is the actual data transfer rate over the circuit. This should be a number between 64 and 2312 for 2-wire, and 384-4608 for 4-wire. 9 Select ASYMM. PSD, and then select the asymmetric power spectral density (Asymm. PSD) mask setting. When enabled, this forces the transceivers output power level to remain within the G.991.2 requirements. The Auto setting uses the same setting as the other end. If disabled, power spectral density will be symmetric. 10 Select Startup Margin, and then select the startup margin. This is the margin value the transceiver will use when selecting the line rate during adaptation. This is only used when the rate mode is adaptive. Chose 0 to 10 dB in 1 dB increments. 11 Select SNEXT Margin, and then specify the self near-end cross-talk setting (SNEXT).
11
The SNEXT setting is the minimum desired margin using self-NEXT noise model 49 disturbers. This is a dB margin requirement in addition to the noise margin threshold, that makes the connection more robust.

Definition The HST-3000's gateway address. When an IP device has determined that a packet is not addressed to it or devices on the same sub-network (subnet), it sends all such packets to the gateway address for further routing to the correct address. Domain Name Server. When using internet addresses such as www.jdsu.com, the HST-3000 (and all IP devices) must translate to an IP address (such as 157.234.12.20) in order to route the packets or data. To do so, it first requests a DNS server to translate an internet address into an IP address; then the HST-3000 can correctly route IP pings or other data. The DNS address must be that of a real DNS server, preferably in the provider network. The status of DHCP, DNS and TCP/IP protocols used to route traffic on the access network.

Ping results Think of ping (packet internet groper) as sonar on a network. The HST-3000 sends out IP packets (Internet Control Messaging Protocol [ICMP] echo requests) to which the destination (target) automatically responds. Ping tells you if the destination is alive and awake, how fast the ping went to the destination and back to the HST-3000, and if ping packets were dropped and lost along the way. Table 11 describes the ping results. Table 11
Result Destination
Ping results
Definition Network address (IP address or URL) to which the echo messages (that is, ping messages) will be sent. This should be within the provider network, but can also prove connectivity to the ISP (for example, www.earthlink.net) or to the internet. The number of ping messages sent.

Ping results (Continued)

Definition The number of echo reply messages returned to theHST-3000 from the destination. The number of pings that did not return to the HST-3000. This could be caused by an unresponsive target (destination) or by heavy congestion on the network; the more packets lost the more congested the network, indicating slow or poor throughput. The number of ping messages sent to the HST-3000 from other devices on the network. The time in milliseconds that it took the last transmitted ping to reach the destination and receive a reply back to the HST-3000. This varies depending on the network and the traffic load on the network, but in general, pings taking longer than 500ms should be noted, and if persistent over several days, reported to network support engineers. Delay average. The average time in milliseconds it has taken all transmitted pings to reach their destinations and receive replies back to the HST-3000. The longest time in milliseconds it has taken any one transmitted ping to reach its destination and receive a reply back to the HST-3000. Delay minimum.

ATM general G.SHDSL, by definition, transports data over Asynchronous results Transfer Mode (ATM) instead of traditional TDM circuits. To assist in troubleshooting G.SHDSL network connections, the HST-3000 provides a number of different ATM statistics (these are useful if IP pings don't work, but ATM cells are still being sent and received). Table 13 describes the test results for the general ATM category. Table 13
Result TX cells TX AAL5 Frames
ATM general results

Definition Count of transmitted ATM cells. Count of transmitted ATM Adaptation Layer 5 Cells. Since ATM can carry different types of user data (such as web pages or voice), ATM layers are defined to carry the different types of data effectively. For normal, non-time sensitive data, such as e-mail and user files, AAL5 is used.

Definition Count of transmitted dropped cells. The ATM network will discard or drop erred cells which must then be retransmitted (this is done automatically). The HST-3000 counts the number of ATM cells and how many were dropped, giving an indication of service quality. Total number of received ATM cells. Total number of received ATM Adaptation Layer 5 frames. Multiple ATM cells are grouped together in frames to carry large amounts of user data over the network. Total number of ATM cells received by the HST-3000, which had CRC (cyclical redundancy check) errors. Total number of ATM AAL5 frames received by the HST-3000, which were too short or too long due to errors. Total number of ATM AAL5 frames which were lost or dropped due to excessive errors. Last unknown virtual path indicator (VPI) and virtual channel indicator (VCI). ATM user data must be correctly routed to its destination, which is accomplished by designating a VPI and VCI (both are required). G.SHDSL user data also requires a VPI and VCI, which if incorrect, prevents the user from accessing the network. To assist the connection process, the HST-3000 identifies the VPI and VCI of the last ATM cells coming over the G.SHDSL link, helping you to set the correct VPI and VCI.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Resolving problems
Resolving problems
If you are having trouble with the HST-3000, the following sections describe common problems and solutions. You should verify whether your problem is listed here before contacting technical assistance.
Operating the The following section addresses questions that may be asked unit about operating and performing basic functions with the
HST-3000. Issue I cannot print out statistics. Resolution Verify that the printer cable is connected correctly. Verify that your terminal program is configured and working correctly. Verify your printer is working properly. Issue The microphone does not work. Resolution Check the headset connection. The headset is not used for G.SHDSL testing (only used for POTS and VoIP calls).
77
Performing The following section addresses questions that may be asked tests about completing tests with the HST-3000. There are two
sections included: General G.SHDSL tests General test The following section addresses questions about testing in problems general. Issue Inconsistent test results. Resolution Verify that your test leads are good and are connected properly for the test you are performing. G.SHDSL test The following section addresses questions about G.SHDSL problems testing. Issue The modem cannot achieve sync with the remote end. Resolution Inability to sync can have many causes. Perform the following steps to troubleshoot: Disconnect the customer's G.SHDSL modem. Verify tester connection to the correct pair. Verify that the physical G.SHDSL standard is correct (G.991.2 Annex A or Annex B). Verify that the functional standard is correct (G.991.2, ETSI TS 101 524-1) Verify that the EOC standard is correct (G.991.2, ETSI TS 101 524-1, T1E1 4/99-06R6, ETSI TS 101 524) 78
Verify the asymmetric PSD setting. Isolate premise wiring. Verify the copper pair is provisioned for G.SHDSL at the CO. Test at the CO/Exchange on the customer pair. Check the DSLAM modem vendor and software version. Issue The HST is set up for Adaptive Rate Mode to match the DSLAM but the modem cannot achieve sync with the remote end. The last modem state is Check Bit Rate. Resolution G.SHDSL line rates are determined using the following formula: n x 64 kbps + i x 8 kbps. In this formula, the base data rate is n x 64 kbps; the sub data rate is i x 8 kbps. In synced mode, an additional 8 kbps is added for frame sync. The modems will only sync if the sub data rate is the same. Find the STU-C and STU-R line rates in Table 30. They should be in the same i=x column. For example, if one side is set to a 256 payload with a line rate of 264 and the other side is set to a 384 payload with a line rate of 392, the modems will sync. However, if one side is set to a 256 payload with a line rate of 264 and the other side is set to a 328 payload with a line rate of 336, the modems will not sync. Table 30 Valid speeds for G.SHDSL

Issue In through mode, Im connected to the Ethernet connector, but Im not getting a data connection (green LED on the Ethernet connector is on, but the yellow LED is not). Resolution Go to the LAN Settings screen and check the Media Type. If its set to Auto, change it to match the specific LAN speed and duplex type that you are using. Issue The modem gets sync with the CO, but the rate is lower than expected. Resolution If the rate mode is adaptive, verify the startup margin and SNEXT margin settings. Issue The ping menu says pings are being sent, but the network statistics are not incrementing. Resolution The ping function only attempts to send a ping every second. Depending on certain conditions, a physical ping packet may not be sent.
81
Check that the unit has not lost sync. If the Ethernet protocol (not interface protocol) is being used, the device has to ARP the address first. If this fails eventually you will see a ARP HOST UNREACHABLE message. Check to see that the destination IP address and our configured IP parameters are correct. If the Ethernet interface is being used, make sure that the cabling is correct. If the Ethernet cable is not hooked up, or is hooked up incorrectly, a packet will not be sent. Thus the Ethernet statistics will not increment. Check the Ethernet link light on the HST-3000 Ethernet jack. It should be green. Issue The ping menu says pings are being sent, but the number of replies doesnt match the pings sent. Resolution Check the TX ATM PCR value on the Data settings screen. If the PCR is set too low, ping replies will be lost. This is because the number of pings selection (on the Ping settings) is defined as the number of pings per second and the PCR value is set as cells per second. Thus, if you are sending more pings than the PCR allows, you will not receive ping replies. To resolve this, do one of the following: Set the number of pings to 1 Set the PCR to 1000 or unlimited. Issue The ATM total statistics are incrementing but the channel stats are not incrementing.
82
Resolution Reconfigure the interface to match the VPI/VCI given in the VPI/VCI of Last Unknown Cell statistic. Issue The ATM channel statistics indicate that I am receiving frames but I did not get a green Data LED and pings are not working. Resolution Check the encapsulation and the mode. The wrong protocol may be in use. Issue I have a PPPoA service and I get a PPP TIMEOUT message Resolution Verify that the VPI-VCI is correct. Verify that the encapsulation is correct. Verify that the addressing mode is set correctly (IPCP/Static). Verify that the username and password are correct. Issue I have a PPPoE connection and I get a PPPoE FAILED message. Resolution Verify that the VPI-VCI is correct. Verify that the encapsulation is correct. Verify that the addressing mode is correct. Verify that the user name and password are correct (including case)
83
Issue I have a Bridged Ethernet connection and I get a DCHP FAILED message. Resolution Verify that the VPI-VCI is correct. Verify that the encapsulation is correct. Verify that the DHCP server isn't out of addresses. (Contact your IT department or help desk.) Issue I get an INVALID CONFIG message. Resolution Verify that a valid IP address is being used (examples of invalid IP addresses would be *.*.*.0 or 127.*.*.* or 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.0). Verify that the IP address and gateway are on the same network as defined by the netmask. Check the netmasks if Ethernet IP = DSL IP. The netmasks must be different. Verify that the Netmask is not set to 0.0.0.0. Issue I have a green Data LED, but pings are not working. Resolution A green Data LED does not guarantee a ping (or any routed/ bridged packet) will be treated properly once it leaves the unit. In an Ethernet bridged or IP over ATM environment with static
84
addressing, there is no initial communication with the far end, so as soon as ATM sync occurs the interface is deemed active to pass user data. Make sure that the VPI-VCI is correct. Make sure that the encapsulation is correct. Try pinging a different host. Make sure you are not behind a firewall; they can block ping responses from reaching the host. Check to see if the connection is unnumbered. If it is, verify that the connection is configured correctly. View the Results>Data>Ping menu. It can often give important clues as to why the ping is not successful. Issue I get a message that is not listed when I am performing tests. Resolution You may receive an unspecified or unknown error message while you are testing G.SHDSL lines. This is because of the many different possible types of G.SHDSL modem errors. If you receive one of these messages, try the following: Try to resync with the line. Check the configuration of the HST-3000. Check the configuration of the DSLAM.
