CH A P T E R 30-1 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide OL-31018-01 30 Monitoring ADSL2+ and VDSL2 Technologies This chapter discusses the following technology enhancements in Prime Network: ADSL2+ VDSL2 Bonding Group These topics describe how to use the Vision client to manage these technologies. If you cannot perform an operation that is described in these topics, you may not have sufficient permissions; see Permissions for Managing DSL2+ and VDSL2, page B-28. Viewing the ADSL2+/VDSL2 Configuration Details, page 30-1 Viewing the DSL Bonding Group Configuration Details, page 30-4 Viewing the ADSL2+/VDSL2 Configuration Details Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a type of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone 4.3.2 than a conventional voiceband modem can provide. It does this by utilizing frequencies that are not used by a voice telephone call. ADSL2+ extends the capability of basic ADSL by doubling the number of downstream channels. The data rates can be as high as 24 Mbit/s downstream and up to 1.4 Mbit/s upstream depending on the distance from the DSLAM to the customers premises. It is capable of doubling the frequency band of typical ADSL connections from 1.1 MHz to 2.2 MHz. This doubles the downstream data rates of the previous ADSL2 standard (which was up to 12 Mbit/s), and like the previous standards will degrade from its peak bitrate after a certain distance. Very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL or VHDSL) is a digital subscriber line (DSL) technology providing data transmission faster than ADSL over a single flat untwisted or twisted pair of copper wires (up to 52 Mbit/s downstream and 16 Mbit/s upstream), and on coaxial cable (up to 85 Mbit/s down- and upstream); using the frequency band from 25 kHz to 12 MHz. These rates mean that VDSL is capable of supporting applications such as high-definition television, as well as telephone services (voice over IP) and general Internet access, over a single connection. Very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line 2 (VDSL2) is an access technology that exploits the existing infrastructure of copper wires that were originally deployed for traditional telephone service as a way of delivering very high speed internet access. The main high-speed link (e.g. a fibre optic connection) terminates at a hub near the customers location. The existing copper wire infrastructure is then used to

It can be deployed from central offices, from fiber-optic connected cabinets located near the customer premises, or within buildings. In Prime Network, the ADSL2+ and VDSL2 technologies are grouped under the XDSL Traffic Descriptors node. To view the XDSL Traffic Descriptors Details: Step 1Right-click the required device in the Vision client and choose Inventory. Step 2Expand the Logical Inventory node and choose XDSL Traffic Descriptors. The relevant details are displayed in the content pane as shown in Figure 30-1. Figure 30-1 XDSL Traffic Descriptor Details Table 30-1 describes the XDSL Traffic Descriptor details. Table 30-1 XDSL Traffic Descriptor Details Field Description XDSL Traffic Descriptors Profile Name The name of the ADSL2+/VDSL2 profile. Transmission System The operating mode of the transmission system. Channel Type The type of physical channel, which can be any one of the following: Fast Interleaved Tx Minimum Bit Rate [Kbit/sec]The minimum bit rate (in terms of kilobits per second) transmitted for adaptive bit rate. Rx Minimum Bit Rate [Kbit/sec]The minimum bit rate (in terms of kilobits per second) received for adaptive bit rate. Tx Maximum Bit Rate [Kbit/sec]The maximum bit rate (in terms of kilobits per second) transmitted for adaptive bit rate.

30-4 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide OL-31018-01 Chapter 30 Monitoring ADSL2+ and VDSL2 Technologies Viewing the DSL Bonding Group Configuration Details –Encapsulation Type –TPS-TC Admin Mode—Will be displayed only for VDSL line cards. –TPS-TC Oper Mode—Will be displayed only for VDSL line cards. NoteThe ATM on Port and PTM on Port sections will not be displayed if the port is bonded to a DSL group or if the TPS-TC Admin Mode is specified as Au t o and the TPS-TC Oper Mode is specified as Unknown. XDSL/ADSL2/2+—This section displays the XDSL support details. These support details include the Administrative and Operating statuses, Operating Mode, Aggregation Group, the various Bit rates and Noise margins. The Operating Mode indicates whether the device is an ADSL2 or VDSL 2 device. The Aggregation Group indicates whether the port is associated to a DSL bonding group. This is a link, which when clicked will take you to the relevant bonding group in the DSL Bonding Group node.For more information about the attributes in this section, refer to Table 30-1. NoteThe name of this section changes based on the value in the Operating Mode field. If the value in the Operating Mode field is None, then this section is titled XDSL. If the value in this field refers to a ADSL device (for example G.992.5 Annex A), then this section is titled ADSL Ver 2/2+. If the value in this field refers to a VDSL device (for example G.993.2), then this section is titled VDSL Ver2. Viewing the DSL Bonding Group Configuration Details Channel bonding is a computer networking arrangement in which two or more network interfaces on a host computer are combined for redundancy or increased throughput. Similarly, multiple DSL 4.3.2 can be bonded to give higher bandwidth. A bonded DSL uses multiple DSL connections and aggregates the bandwidth together to increase the speed of upload and download process. To view the DSL bonding group details: Step 1Right-click the required device in the Vision client and choose Inventory. Step 2Expand the Logical Inventory node and choose DSL Bonding Groups. The relevant details are displayed in the content pane as shown in Figure 30-2.
