ASMi-52 Ver. 2.5 Overview 1-9
• Receive, recovered from the received line signal (CPE mode).
Management
ASMi-52 supports the following management options:
• ASCII terminal or Easy Config hand-held device via V.24/RS-232 terminal port
• Telnet via a dedicated 10/100BaseT port
• SNMP network management (RADview) via a dedicated 10/100BaseT port
• PC, running a Web browsing application (ConfiguRAD)
• Inband management via a dedicated timeslot (units with E1/T1 interface only).
EOC
ASMi-52 provides an inband management channel (EOC) for end-to-end system
management and supervision. This management channel uses SHDSL overhead
bits and operates without interfering with data transmission.
ConfiguRAD
ConfiguRAD is a user-friendly Web-based terminal management system used for
remote device configuration and maintenance. It is embedded in ASMi-52 and
provided at no extra cost. ConfiguRAD can be run from any standard Web
browser.
Dial-In
The V.24 terminal port supports a dial-up modem connection for remote
management of ASMi-52 over telephone lines.
Dial-Out
The V.24 terminal port supports alarm dial-out.
Diagnostics
ASMi-52 supports activation of the following:
• Local loopback
• Remote loopback
• Remote loopback at the SHDSL repeater (activated from the local unit)
• Internal Bert (multiplexer units only) vs. multiplexer.
All tests can be activated from the local unit or from the remote unit.
ASMi-52 includes an internal Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) for complete testing of
the local and remote modem and the link quality without any need for an external
test equipment. ASMi-52 runs an internal pseudo-random 511-bit test pattern in
accordance with the ITU V.52 standard.
Real time alarms provide information on the system status, indicating management
failure, synchronization loss and other conditions.
