The G.shdsl (G.991.2) standard specifies symmetrical connection to 2 wires for subscriber’s lines.
The handshake negotiations are done according to the ITU-T G.994.1 recommendation.
It can be configured as LTU (central) or NTU (user), always working as a cluster to other interfaces in the
equipment.
It can be configured to operate as per Annex A, B or with automatic selection, defined on recommendation
G.991.2.
It supports operation with rates up to 2,304 kbit/s per line, according to annexes A and B in standard
G.991.2.
The interface range alternates according to the transmission rate, between 7,100m (for 192kbit/s on a
noise-free 0.4-mm line) and 4,100m (for 2,304kbit/s on a noise-free 0.4-mm line).
When configured as NTU, the interface accepts any rate, annex and frame type that the LTU indicates
during the handshake. The number of channels of the aggregate should always be the same or larger to
the sum of tributaries channels.
Only for DM991C/CE: The interface has primary protection - (sparklers) capable of supporting electrical
discharges according to the ITU-T K.21 recommendation.
The table below shows the line encoding and power transmitted to each annex.

Connection is done by the basic phases: Handshake, Training, and Data Mode.
While on this phase, the two equipments exchange information and they negotiate the parameters that will
be used for the connection.
The ends implement a 12 kHz DPSK modem for the NTU and 20 kHz one for the LTU to perform the
handshake. The Recommendation predefined messages are exchanged and the equipments agree to a
common mode of operation.
In this phase, many parameters are set: the final transmission rate, Annex to be used (A or B), type of
information to transport (TPS-TC - Transmission Protocol-Specific Transmission Convergence), type of
transmission frame (plesiochronous or synchronous), and some others.
If the interfaces do not converge to a common configuration, the two equipments abort the transmission
and they do not pass to the next stage: they will retry after some moments.
For the DM991 the user equipment (NTU) will always accept the configuration sent to it by the office
equipment (LTU), easing installation.
During handshake, the DSL interface LED stays mostly off, briefly blinking once a second.
During training, the equipments use the normal line coding (TC-PAM) and they no longer use DPSK
encoding.
At first, both modems test the line. Then the precoder coefficients are exchanged and used during data
transmission.
Two things can occur at the end of this stage: the modems do pass the training phase, they determine the
adequate coefficients for the line, and then they enter the data mode or, the modems cannot determine
the coefficients, for some reason (maybe the line is too long, or there is too much noise, or during training
some very strong perturbation renders the convergence not viable, etc.) and they abort transmission.
Whenever the interface is in sync, the DSL status LED will remain on.
The G.shdsl frame has four data blocks (payload blocks) that are separated by the header bits. The
header repeats itself each 6ms, regardless of the configured rate.
The header has an essential function for data transmission, for it ensures alignment, it transports
management information through EOC (Embedded Operations Channel) and it also has a data error
identification mechanism (CRC6).
The frame G.shdsl also allows to transmit CAS information (Channel Associated Signilling) from link E1.
The sub block size varies according to the number of channels. Each sub block has Nx8 bits, where N is
the number of channels that was negotiated during handshake.
The frame structure that is sent and received by the G.shdsl modem consists in the E1 timeslots, in the
V.35 channel at Nx64k, in the Ethernet channel at Nx64kbit/s, in empty timeslots (idle) for filling the
installed modem rate and in a CAS timeslot, in this order.
A CRC anomaly shall be declared when the received CRC6 information is different from the CRC6
generated on the received data. The CRC6 bits are part of the previous G.shdsl frame. A discrepancy
between the received CRC6 value and the evaluated CRC6 on the interface indicates that an error
occurred in some bit (or bits) of the frame, but it does not indicate how many, or which bits were in error.
The interface status LED will blink once every second, remaining ON the most of the time while a CRC
error is showing up.
A loop attenuation defect occurs when the line displays an attenuation that exceeds the programmed
threshold. The standard limit for the DM991 G.shdsl interface is 35 dB.
An SNR margin defect occurs when the signal-to-noise ratio falls below the specified margin, i.e., when
the signal quality is too poor. The standard signal-to-noise ratio for the DM991 G.shdsl interface is 6 dB.
An LOSW (Loss of Sync Word Defect) defect shall be declared when at least three consecutive received
frames contain one or more errors in the framing bits. The term framing bits shall refer to that portion of
Frame Sync Word, Stuff Bits and Stuff Bit Ids – see Table 8 -, which are used for G.shdsl frame
synchronization. An LOSW defect shall be cleared when at least two consecutive received frames contain
no errors in the framing bits. For the DM991, the error indication is activated for one second after the
reception of the two error-free consecutive frames.
When the interface is indicating LOSWD, the DSL interface status LED blinks four times per second (4
Hz).
An LOSW failure (Loss of Sync Word Failure) shall be declared after 2.5 ± 0.5 seconds of contiguous
LOSW defect. The LOSWF shall be cleared when the LOSW defect is absent for 20 seconds or less (i.e.
clear within 20 s). The minimum hold time for indication of LOSW failure shall be 2 seconds.
When the interface is indicating LOSWF, the DSL interface status LED blinks eight times per second (i.e.
at 4 Hz).
The explanation of the configuration parameters of the G.shdsl interface is presented below.
When the modem is configured as LTU, it will determine every connection parameters during handshake,
as the Annex to be used, the number of channels, the clock type (synchronous or plesiochronous), etc. It
is not possible to recover the system clock from the interface clock when it is set up in such a way.
When the modem is set up as NTU, it is mandatory that the settings of the annex and of the clock type
(Frame Mode) be automatic, for it accepts any settings determined by the LTU.
It is not possible to interconnect two equipments which are set up for the same type of terminal, for the
handshake happens between LTU and NTU only.
In plesiochronous mode, the transmission and receive clocks are independent of the line clock, which is
generated by the LTU. The line clock shall be accurate to within ± 32 ppm of the nominal frequency, as
defined by G.991.2. Periodically, four stuff bits are automatically inserted to adequate the data clock to the
line clock. This procedure is essential for equipment synchronization.
In the automatic selection mode, the LTU will use the NTU-selected mode. If the NTU accepts any mode
(automatic configuration), the synchronous mode will be used.
3.5.3. Annex
The annexes determine slight variations on the Recommendation to better suit the equipment to the
employed line.
Annex A describes those specifications that are unique to lines operating under conditions such as those
typically encountered within the North American network.
Annex B describes those specifications that are unique to lines operating under conditions such as those
typically encountered within European networks.
For the automatic selection mode, the LTU will employ the NTU-selected annex. If the NTU accepts any
type of annex, Annex B will be used.
3.6. Performance
The interface performance is directly related to the transmission line characteristics.
The gauge and the length of the line wire, the noise and the susceptibility to micro-interruptions to which
the line is subjected will determine the maximum transmission rate.
The range also diminishes if the line sports a great number of splices and stubs. The length of the stubs
also alters the line characteristics. This can increase the signal reflections and the line noise.
For a noise-free line using a 0.4-mm gage wire, with no seams or bifurcations, the range will be of 4,100
m for 2,304kbit/s, and with a modem set to 192kbit/s, the range can reach 7,100 m.
These tests were conducted with an artificial transmission line emulating the behavior of an actual line.
The table 9 includes the expected ranges for some rates on a noise-free artificial line.

When this modem is operating on 2 wires the data will be transmitted simultaneously on lines A and B,
adopting (1+1) protection system.
The protection is semi-automatic, that is, after commuting to the backup link, data passes through this link
until it has problems.
When operating on 4 wires, this modem uses ports A and B as a single interface, being able to transmit
on a longer reach and more bandwidth.
The number of timeslots used in the 4 wires operation is always pair (Nx128kbit/s), that is, if the
configuration is set for an odd number, automatically one more timeslot will be used.
The G.shdsl interface of models DM991C and DM991CE already has sparkler devices, among others, as
primary protection.
It is not appropriate to employ varistors as G.shdsl lines protection devices, as their high capacitance
value can lower the interface performance significantly. The same care should be taken when using
inductive protection.
The DB25 connector follows the ISO2110 Amd. 1 recommended pinout, for the V.35 interface as well as
for the V.36/V.11.
In the DM991S/SE modems, that pinout can be altered to the Telebrás standard through the straps.
Interface V.35
In the case of DM991S/SE modems, that pinning can be changed to the Telebrás standard through
straps.
In the case of DM991C/CE modems, you have the option of asking for equipment with a pinning
selections between ISO2110 Amd.1 and Telebrás standard through straps.
Data and clock signals are the differential balanced type, according to ITU-T’s V.11 recommendation.
Signals CT107, CT108, CT109, CT140, CT141 and CT142 follow the characteristics of recommendation
V.28 (compatible with recommendation V.10). Control signals CT105 and CT106 can be configured by
straps to follow the characteristics of recommendation V.28 (for V.35) or V.11 (for V.36/V.11).
The ETD can provide synchronism for data receiving through CT128.
The digital interface can be set up in rates from Nx64kbit/s to 2,304kbit/s on 2-wire modems (2W), and up
to 4,608kbit/s on 4-wire modems (4W).
‡ On DM991C V.35-V.36/V.11 interfaces, the CT109 signal presents the aggregate state (G.shdsl),
remaining off while it is in error condition (except when there is CRC error).
* For ISO2110 Amd. 1, the ERCa (22) and ERCb (23) pins do not correspond to the CT128.
‡ On DM991C V.35-V.36/V.11 interfaces, the CT109 signal presents the aggregate state (G.shdsl),
remaining off while it is in error condition (except when there is CRC error).
* For ISO2110 Amd. 1, the ERCa (22) and ERCb (23) pins do not correspond to the CT128.
The interface allows usage of coaxial cable (75ohms) or for twisted pairs (120ohms). The cables are
attached through transformers, so there is no polarity for the twisted pair.
5.1. DM991S/SE
There are straps which allow connecting the external net of the coaxial cable to the ground cable. This
works either for the input channel (RX-IN) as for the output channel (TX-OUT).
When using twisted pair (120ohms), make sure the straps are not in the ground position.
The output wire that goes through pin 18B of the EDGE 2x30 connector is connected to the central pin of
the E10 strap, and is the TX-OUT cable, that can be connected to the ground cable through this strap. In
this case, it must be identified for each cabinet model which was the TX-OUT screw to be grounded by the
strap, so it can be connected to the coaxial cable net. On the sub-racks, usually, the inferior TX-OUT
screw is grounded.
The input wire that goes through pin 21B of the EDGE 2x30 connector is connected to the central pin
through strap E11, and is the RX-IN cable, that can be connected to the ground wire through this strap.
The same identification procedure of which screw has been grounded must take effect in this case. In the
sub-rack, usually, the inferior TX-OUT screw is grounded.
Modem signal G.703 is available on Dial Backup terminals in the terminal strip.

5.2. DM991C/CE
There are straps that allow you to connect the external coaxial cable network to the ground. On models
DM991C/CE with PCI rev. 04 or higher, this applies both to the input channel (RX-IN) and to the output
channel (TX-OUT). On models DM991C/CE with PCI rev. 03 or lower, this applies only to the input
channel (RX-IN); in this case, the external output coaxial cable network (TX-OUT) is always connected to
the ground.
Be careful as not to let those straps be in the grounded position when a 120-ohm twisted pair is used on
the RJ48.
The G.703 signal output is available on the BNC OUT connector or between the pins 4 and 5 of the RJ48.
The G.703 signal input is available on the BNC IN connector or between the pins 1 and 2 of the RJ48
The DM991SE and DM991CE Ethernet interfaces allow interconnecting two LANs thru G.shdsl
aggregated. It can be configured to Nx64kbit/s speed, to the aggregate configured limit. This tributary can
be used joined with other modem tributaries.
The connection to the Ethernet interface is done through an RJ45 connector, seen in the front panel. The
connector pinout is such that allows the use of straight cables to connect the equipment to Ethernet hubs.
To do so, the bridge can automatically learn the MAC addresses of the stations connected to the local
network. In that way, it can filter the network traffic and transmit to the WAN side only the packets
corresponding to the MAC addresses that do not pertain to the local network, besides broadcast and
multicast packets.
The bridge operates on the MAC level of the Ethernet interface. In this way the tributary is completely
transparent for upper layers protocols, such as TCP/IP, UDP, etc.
The bridge local address table can store up to 1.000 MAC addresses. If a station remains inactive for
more than five minutes, its address will be removed from the table.
The process of filtering the packets to be transmitted imposes no limitation to the data flow. The delay
introduced by the Bridge processing is of only 1 Ethernet frame.
The bridge has a buffer to Ethernet -> G.shdsl that may store up 322 packages Ethernet with 1552 bytes,
but smaller packages may be stored in greater quantity.
In order G.shdsl -> Ethernet has a buffer of 64 packets of 1552 bytes Ethernet. Similarly, using smaller
packages permites store more ones. Using this direction there is no filtering, because it has already been
done by the bridge from remote equipment.
• WAN Speed - It allows for the selection from 1 to 36 64-kbit/s time slots on 2-wire
modems (2W), and from 1 to 72 time slots on 4-wire modems (4W);
• Self-negotiation - allows negotiation with the equipment connected by the Ethernet
interface on the operating mode, interface velocity, and flow control use;
• Duplex - it is possible to choose between the Full-Duplex (both sides transmit
simultaneously) and Half-Duplex modes (one side transmits at a time);
• On back pressure - when there is LAN clogging, the equipment generates net collisions to
limit traffic.
The DM991S/SE modems present substantial differences in relation to the DM991C/CE modems as to the
configurations done through strapping, in such a way that the sub chapter 7.1 verses on the DM991S/SE
modems strapping and sub-chapter 7.2 verse on the DM991C/CE modems strapping.
7.1. DM991S/SE
Position 120: Selects the use of twisted pair, meaning it operates on the G.703 interface with 120ohms
impedance.
Position 75: Selects the use of coaxial cable, meaning it operates on the G.703 interface with 75ohms
impedance – factory standard.
Position 0-1: Connects the output coaxial cable shield to the signal ground (depends on the pinout,
configured according to: Table 12, Table 13 or Table 14).
Make sure the strap is not on grounding position when twisted pair is used(120ohms).
Position GND: Connects the input coaxial cable shield to the signal ground (depends on the pinout,
configured according to: Table 12, Table 13 or Table 14).
Make sure the strap is not on grounding position when twisted pair is used(120ohms).
7.1.4. G.703 Interface Pinout (E12 to E15, E27 to E30 and E44 to E47)
Dial Backup – In this option, the equipment presents the G.703 interface in the Dial Backup pins in the
screw connector block. The digital interface goes out the DB25 normally, according to the pinout
configured through its straps – factory default.
V.35 and G.703 in DB25 (G+V) – In this option, the equipment presents the G.703 interface in DB25 pins
that are not crucial for most applications that use the digital interface. The digital interface should be
configured for the ISO2110 Amd.1 standard, and signals CT106, CT108 and CT140 will not be used.
Define if the electrical characteristics of the digital interface will be according to the V.35 or V.36/V.11
recommendation.
Allow to select the pinout standard for the DB25 connector of the V.35-V.36/V.11 digital interface.
7.2. DM991C/CE
Position 120: selects the use of twisted pair, meaning it operates in the G.703 interface with 120ohms
impedance.
Position 75: selects the use of coaxial cable, meaning it operates in the G.703 interface with 75ohms
impedance- factory standard.
GND Position: connects the external coaxial cable network to the signal ground.
Be careful as not to let those straps be in the grounded position when a twisted pair (120ohms) is used.
GND Position: connects the external coaxial cable network to the signal ground.
Define if the electrical characteristics of the digital interface will be according to the V.35 or V.36/V.11
recommendation.
As an option, DM991C/CE equipment can come from the factory with straps E500 to E522. These straps
allow you to select the pinning standard for connector DB25 in digital interface V.35-V.36/V.11.
Only the DM991S/SE modems have DIP-switches, however, these equipments, as well as the
DM991C/CE modems can also be configured via terminal.
When the keys are all OFF, the modem operates at 2048kbit/s (32 channels). If the E1 interface is
enabled (DIP B4 on OFF), the data will be transmitted and received without frame synch search. The
configurations set in the B1 to B3 DIP-switches will be ignored.
When one or more of the keys is ON, the interface will operate with the number of channels set by the
keys sequence. The number of channels will be the same as the binary number written by the keys
(A1=MSB), which is easier seen on Table 16.
A7 A6 Clock
ON OFF Internal
OFF OFF Regenerated
OFF ON External
ON ON External, with CT104 synched to CT113
The regenerate clock is obtained through the line G.shdsl signal, having the same precision of the
equipment providing the signal. When operating with regenerated clock, the modem automatically
switches to internal clock in case of flaw in the G.shdsl signal in its input. When configured as LTU, the
modem can not be configured with regenerated clock.
The external clock with CT104 synched according to CT113 (External RX in Table 19) operates as
external clock, being that in this mode the data (CT104) of the V.35 or V.36/V.11 interface are also
transmitted to the DTE synched by the external clock CT113. The commuting to internal clock is automatic
during the period in which there is clock loss in the CT113, but this can cause errors in the transmission
sequence during the commuting. If the G.703 interface is enabled, the operation is the same as external
clock.
When OFF, disables the data transmission through timeslot 16 of the E1 interface.
When OFF, disables the generation and verification of CRC4 synch on the E1 interface.
When OFF, enables the E1 interface and disables the digital interface.
To use both interfaces simultaneously it is necessary to set the configurations through the remote
management or the terminal. For that, DIP B6 must be set to ON or configured for the converter mode
(DIP B7).
When the modem is configured as NTU, DIPs A1-A5 determines the transmission rate of the interface
selected by B4.
When the modem is configured in LTU, the frame mode is plesiochronous and the annex is automatic (in
relation to the DIP-switches configuration). If other frame mode or annex is wished, it is necessary to do
the configuration through the terminal.
This DIP has no function when DIP B7 is set to ON, that is, converter mode enabled.
When OFF, the equipment configuration is given by the configuration of the other DIP-switches.
When this DIP-switch is ON, the configuration will be determined by the management system. In case no
configuration has ever been done by the manager the DIP-Switches configuration will be used until the
management system programs a different configuration. To store the configuration done by the manager
in a non volatile (E2PROM), the request must be done via manager or terminal. This way, the equipment
can recover the configuration even after being shut off.
When OFF, it is possible to monitor the modem through the manager, but the configuration is inhibited.
The modem is then configured by the straps and DIP-switches.
8.10.1. DM991S
8.10.2. DM991SE
When OFF, disables the Ethernet interface. In this case the active interface is selected through DIP B4.
When ON, enables the Ethernet interface. In this case, DIP B4 will be ignored and the only tributary
enabled will be the Ethernet. To enable the other tributaries simultaneously it is necessary to set the
configurations through the remote management or the terminal. For that, DIP B6 must be set to ON.
The DM991SE modems leave factory configured to internal transmission clock (A6=OFF/A7=ON)
The equipment works completely autonomous, meaning once it has been configured it does not need
external intervention; as well as if it is initialized it goes automatically into operation according with the
configuration saved on the (E2PROM) memory, without needing any special initializing procedure. The
interfaces statuses are indicated by (LEDs) and automatically go back into normal operation when any
malfunctioning status is corrected.
The terminal has management priority over other methods. This way, the management opening via
germinal will disconnect other active managements at that instant..
• Through the DMG20 management card, that acts as an SNMP proxy agent,
communicating with the DM991S/SE through the RS485 interface with the Telebrás
protocol for modem management in sub-racks. Can be integrated to the DATACOM
equipments management system using the DmView software;
Only DM991S/SE modems can be directly managed through the DMG20 management card.
• Through the remote management, that can be integrated to the DATACOM equipments
management system using the DmView software. This configuration can be used when
the DM991 is the remote to a DM705 equipment (as shown on Figure 14).
The modem transmission clock can be configured through the terminal or the management and there are
the following clock options:
• Internal - is obtained from the modem’s crystal oscillator, with 25 ppm precision.
• Regenerated from the G.shdsl interface - has the same precision as the equipment
providing the signal. When configured as LTU, the modem can not be configured with
regenerated clock.
• Regenerated from the digital interface - Is provided by the DTE through the CT113 signal.
The digital interface must have the clock configured as external (CT113) or CT104 sinc.
CT113.
Whichever the configuration, the clock used for the transmission should have at least ±50ppm precision
for connection in plesiochronous mode and ±32ppm for connection in synchronous (to operate according
to the G.991.2 rule). The modem automatically switches to internal clock in case of flaw in the configured
clock, but errors can occur in the transmission sequence during the commuting.
When in plesiochronous mode, the transmission and reception clocks are independent from the line clock
which is generated by the LTU. That is why the clocks used can be from different sources.
Figure 15 shows how the clocks in the connection of two DM991 works, one operating with internal clock
and other operating with the DSL interface regenerated clock.
The LTU equipment sends the data in the DSL interface using the internal clock. In the NTU side, the
clock received from the DSL interface is taken to the E1 and digital interfaces (continuous arrows). Also,
according to the selection of regenerated clock a loop is done in the clock, so that it is used in the data
transmission by the DSL interface (traced arrow).
Back in the LTU side, the equipment uses the clock received from the DSL interface for the E1 and digital
interfaces.
Figure 16 shows how the clocks in the connection of two DM991 works, one operating with the external
clock coming from the E1 interface and other operating with the DSL interface regenerated clock.
The LTU equipment receives the clock form the E1 interface and uses it to send data in the DSL interface
(traced arrow). In the NTU side, the clock received from the DSL interface is used for data transmission in
the E1 and digital interfaces (continuous arrows). Also, a loop in the clock is done, so that it is used in the
data transmission by the DSL interface (traced arrow).
In the LTU equipment, the clock received from the DSL interface is used in the E1 and digital interfaces
(continuous arrows).
The clocks work in this same way when the external clock comes from the digital interface, (from a router,
for example) instead of coming from the E1 interface.
Figure 17 shows two DM991 operating with external clocks coming from the V.35 (CT113). Both digital
interfaces are connected to routers that have their clocks configured as internal.
This mode functions in a similar way as described in the plesiochronous mode, however some details
should be observed:
a. In this mode, the TX and RX should be the same. The user must decide on operating
with internal clock in the LTU and regenerated in the NTU or on making sure that the
external clocks are synchronized.
c. When using a regenerated clock, the external equipment should provide the clock with
a minimum accuracy of ±32ppm for proper modem operation.
In this mode the digital interface uses as transmission clock (CT114) the one provided by equipment clock
source.
Figure 18 shows how the V.35 works with Clock Source. The traced arrow indicates that the CT115 is
generated from the DSL interface regenerated clock of the DM991. The CT114 is generated from the
system clock, which in this case, can be internal, regenerated from the line or regenerated from the E1
interface (it can not be regenerated from the digital interface, in which case the use of the CT113 would
be necessary).
In this mode the V.35 uses the CT113 (transmission clock of the equipment connected to the DM991) to
generate the o CT114 (transmission clock of the DM991).
In this mode the digital interface works in the same way as in the External mode, but with the CT104 being
generated from the CT113. This mode is recommended to connect a DM991 equipment to a NewBridge®
equipment that operates as ECD. In this case, the system clock is usually the V.35 external clock.
Figure 20 shows how a V.35 configured as CT104 sinc. CT113 works when a DM991 is connected to an
ECD equipment. The scheme is the same as the one shown in the External mode, except that the CT113
received by the DM991 is also used to control the CT104 (as the doted arrow shows). The CT115 does
not alter itself in this way.
In this mode the digital interface works as in the External mode, however the CT113 is not passed to the
CT114. It is recommended when connecting the DM991 to some routers.
Figure 21 shows how a V.35 configured as CT113 Unlooped to CT114 works when a DM991 is connected
to the ECD equipment. The scheme is the same as the one shown in the External mode, except the
CT113 is not passed to the CT114. Therefore the CT114 derives from the system clock. In this case the
modem can not be configured as the digital interface external clock, but it will use the CT113 to sample
the CT103.
External reception clock provided by the DTE. When enabled, substitutes the CT115, which stops being
used (although it still exists). When the equipment connected to the DM991 does not generate the CT128,
this option should be disabled. In this case the CT115 will be used as reception clock.
When enabled, this option inverts the equipment’s transmission clock signal phase (CT114). Used to
compensate problems generated by delays in some routers.
The converter mode can be enabled by DIP B7 (on DM991S) or disabling the G.shdsl interface by
terminal/ management.
The DM991 family modems can be configured through a VT100 terminal (or an emulator of a PC Terminal
such as the Windows HyperTerminal) connected to the Terminal port in the front panel.
The Terminal should be configured for 9600bit/s without flow control, 1 stop bit and without parity bit.
When configured with Windows2000, it is recommended not to use the HyperTerminal, for it presents
some problems working on this platform. For that, it is recommended to use the TeraTerm, which is
freeware and can be acquired at the following web address:
http://www.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html
As soon as the connection is established, the terminal might ask for an access password, which is factory
configured as “admin” (this password will only be requested if the user configures the equipment to do so).
This password can be changed or even disabled as will bee seen next.
The terminal has a 10 minute timeout, in a way that if nothing is typed in that time, it returns to the
password identification screen. Bellow are described the configuration and management menus.

• 1 - Configuration menu: allows the general equipment or interfaces characteristics to be
configured.
All configurations made in the sub-menus of this equipment are saved in a user memory, which will need
to be activated in order for the equipment to be configured in the desired manner. The configuration in use
on the equipment will be stored in a memory called Equipment Memory. The user’s configurations
however, will be in a memory called User Memory.
User Equipment
Memory

Figure 22 presents all actions that can be taken with the equipment memories.
• Equipment memory: configuration in use in the equipment, coming from the configuration
stored on the E2PROM memory after initialization (X*) or of the configuration of the user
(User memory), after the activation command (2). The equipment memory is passed on to
the E2PROM memory when “save configurations on E2PROM” (4) is selected and is
passed on to the user memory with the command “Refresh configurations” (3)
• User memory: contains the configurations the user locally programmed via terminal or
remotely via SNMP. It is where the information of what has been configured on the
terminal screens is stored. The user memory is passed on to the equipment memory
when it is selected “apply changes” (2), then if the configurations are valid, they will
become active. The command “charge E2PROM configurations” (5) will charge into the
user memory the configuration stored on the E2PROM memory. It can also be used to
load into this memory the standard factory configuration by using the command “load
standard factory configuration” (6). The standard configuration is factory programmed and
cannot be altered.
• E2PROM Memory: it’s a non volatile memory from where the equipment reads the
configurations on the moment of initialization (X*). This memory is copied into the User
Memory through the command “Load E2PROM configurations” (5) and is altered through
the command “Save configurations to E2PROM” (4), which activates the configuration of
the user, and sends the Equipment Memory to E2PROM.
• G - General configurations: allows the equipment clock and other general characteristics
configuration.
• B - BRIDGE interface: Ethernet interface specific parameters configuration menu (only for
DM991SE and DM991CE models).
• 1 - Test user configuration: this option tests if the configurations set by the user are valid
and if its application is possible, without actually activating them in the equipment. When
the configuration is completely valid “Compatible temporary configuration” will show on
the configuration field. If any adjustments are necessary in the user configuration “partially
active configuration” will show and if it is not possible to activate the configurations
“Invalid temporary configuration” will show.
• 2 - Apply changes: this option makes the equipment try to apply the user configurations. If
the configurations are applied completely, them the status indication will show” Active
configuration”. If however, it applies it with the automatic change of any incoherent
configuration, “ Partially active configuration” will show and if it is not possible to apply the
user’s configurations “Invalid configuration” will show.
• 3 - Update configurations: this option writes over the user’s configuration with the
equipment configuration. Used when it is wished to obtain the configuration that was on
the equipment (discarding the changes done by the user that were not loaded).
• 4 - Save configurations on E2PROM: this option makes the equipment save the active
configuration into the E2PROM, so the next time the equipment is initiated it will return to
the same configuration.
• 5 - Load E2PROM configurations: this option reads the configuration stored on the
E2PROM, overwriting the user configuration. To make this configuration active the “apply
changes” options must be executed.
• 6 - Load factory configuration: This option loads the user memory with the factory default
configuration. To make this configuration active, the “Apply changes” option must be
executed.
On this menu, pressing TAB will change the value of the object to be configured.
Press ENTER to exit this menu and save the changes in the user memory, and ESC to exit and cancel the
changes.
This menu can be accessed by pressing “G” on the configuration menu and is destined to the equipment
global clock configuration and to the enabling or not of destructive configurations to the management link.
• Clock Source: configures the transmission clock of the equipment. The options are:
internal and regenerated (of the DSL, E1 or digital interface).
• Enable destructive configuration: enables or disables the destructive configurations for the
remote management. It is necessary to enable this object in case the user wants to
disable the remote management through the EOC on the G.shdsl interface or to disable
the G.shdsl interface (enable converter mode).

The clock can be regenerated from any one of the interfaces or be internally generated by the equipment.
However, all the interfaces, aggregate and tributaries should be in synch or referenced to the same synch
source.
• Enable Operation: enables or disables the interface, when disabled the modem to take on
Converter Mode.
This option is available only for models DM991S and DM991C. In order to disable the G.shdsl interface,
you have to enable the destructive settings in the general equipment settings menu.
• Enable tests: enables the test activation on this interface through the test menu or through
the management.
• Enable RDL reception: informs if the interface should recognize and accept the LDR
request, through the remote modem and go into loop.
• Operation mode: determines if the modem operates as LTU (central) or as NTU (user).
• Enable tests: enables the test activation on this interface by the test menu or the
management.
• Number of channels: sets the number of time slots in the interface. It can range from 1 to
36 2-wire DSL channels and 1 to 72 4-wire DSL channels.
• CT105 (RTS): indicates if the CT105 controlled signal, generated by the DTE, signaling
transmission request should be considered or ignored (forced ON).
• CT108 (DTR): Indicates if the CT108 control signal, generated by the DTE, signaling that
the terminal is ready, should be considered or ignored (forced ON).
o General synch source: the interface will use as clock the equipment clock source
(regenerated from an interface or internal);
o External (CT113): the interface will use the CT113 signal to sample the CT103;
o CT104 sync CT113: the interface will use the CT113 signal to sample the CT103
and to generate the CT104;
o CT113 unlooped CT114: the CT113 clock is not passed on to the CT114, which
will be the system clock. The CT113 signal is sampled according to the CT113.
Recommended when connecting the DM991 to some routers models;
• CT128 (ERC): selects if the data sent in the CT104 should be synched with the CT128
signal of the interface. If the previous parameter, clock, is selected for CT104 sinc.
CT113, this object can not enabled;
• Invert TX clock: inverts the sampling clock border selected to sample the CT103.
• Enable tests: enables the test activation in the interface by the test menu or management.
• Idle byte: is the decimal value of the byte to be transmitted in the unused timeslots in case
they are configured as IDLE.
• Initial timeslot: configures the number of the initial data channel. In case CAS is disabled
the initial channel must be 01.
• Channel signaling: indicates which signaling type will be used in timeslot 16:
o CAS emulation: the equipment simulates CAS signaling, finding CAS multiframe
synch, but without transmitting effective information on channel signaling;
o Cross Connect CAS: the CAS signaling is received by the E1 and transmitted to
the G.shdsl interface.
• Timeslot 16 with user data: enables user data transmission on timeslot 16.
• Line impedance: configures the interface for coaxial cable (75ohms) or twisted pair
(120ohms).
To configure the impedance it is necessary to adjust the position of straps E2, E3 and E25 (for
DM991C/CE modems) or E4 strap (fro DM991S/SE modems).
o Idle: this configuration retransmits the user configured value in the “Idle byte”
parameter, in each unused timeslot.

The DM991 modems can be remotely managed, or they can remotely manage other equipments.
Using the local terminal with the management link of the G.shdsl aggregate, the equipment can manage a
DM991S/SE or a DM991C/CE remote or it can be managed by a remote equipment (a DM991S/SE, a
DM991CE or a DM705). DM991S/SE models can also be managed through the DATACOM management
card for Telebrás sub racks, DMG20.
Through the management it is possible to configure, monitor and run test loops through the management
commands. With the management active through the DMG20 it is also possible to visualize the traps
equipment change status alerts) sent by the DM991S/SE.
It's not possible to manage remotely the DM991S or DM991C in converter mode.
User interfacing depends on how management is carried out. If it is through local terminals, options will
show up in text menus If managing via local terminal, the options will appear in text menus. Using the
DATACOM integrated management, with the DmView software application, it is possible to manage the
whole system with an interface full of graphic resources and fairly intuitive, as well as allowing
administrative chores to be done, such as resources provision, configurations backup and alarms
management.
The priority of remote management is given to the equipment that first connects to it. However, while the
equipment terminal is being used, it is not possible to remotely manage the equipment.
Management from the G.shdsl link is done by the EOC channel (Embedded Operations Channel), which
does not occupy the data band (also called out-of-band management), having a rate of 3,33kbit/s. The
exchanged packets follow the format set by the G.991.2 rule and they flow by the EOC proprietary
messages range.
To use the EOC channel remote management, the “Remote Management” option (in the DSL interface
configurations) must be in the position EOC bits.
To disable the EOC, first the “enable destructive configuration” (in General Configurations, in the terminal)
must be enabled. In doing so, the via EOC link will be lost, however the configuration that caused the link
to crash will be understood and activated by the remote equipment (in case it is valid). Finally, the remote
manager will no longer have access to the remote equipment. To re-enable the remote management the
terminal local intervention is necessary.
The configuration set by the management system can be stored in a non-volatile memory (E2PROM) for
recovery even after a power failure. The equipment will only write the configuration when the management
(local or remote) asks it to do so.
The equipment will not activate and will not store an invalid or incoherent configuration. In case the user
tries to activate an invalid configuration, the equipment will try to correct it and, if not possible, the
configuration will not be activated.
The tests in the DSL interface can be executed via management, through the keys in the frontal panel
(LAL, LDL and LDR, only for DM991S/SE models), or through the CT140 (LDR) and CT141 (LAL) signals,
coming from the digital interface. Remember that signals CT140 and CT141 should be set up as
controlled in the digital interface, so that testing can be enabled.
LDR reception can be enabled by the management as well as by DIP A8 (only for DM991S/SE models).
The tests in the E1 and digital interface can only be run by the management.
To initiate a test in an interface, first it is necessary to disable any test that interface may be running
(which means it is only possible to run one test at a time in each interface). The only exception is the LDR
test combined with the BERT test. In that case, you have to enable RDL first and then the BERT test.
This test helps the external and internal data link status verification. Two loopbacks are done. The internal
loopback makes the data coming from the tributaries to return to them. The external loopback makes the
external data coming from the G.shdsl to be retransmitted by this interface. Figure 23 shows the test
conditions.
The local analogue loopback tests serves to test the analogue part of the interface circuits. The data
transmitted by the DSL interface also return to the tributaries and the data externally received by the
aggregate is discarded. Figure 24 shows the test conditions.
When the equipment is in BERT it will send mark (all bits equal 1) to the tributaries. Figure 25 shows the
pattern generation in this interface.
The BERT of DM991 modems is generated with exact rate of line (minimum 192Kbit/s), except the
timeslot used for CAS, in which is sent mark (all bits equal 1). It is different of interfaces DM705 -
DSL1/DSL2/DSL8 where BERT is sent in accordance with the number of channels configured for the
interface (minimum 64kbit/s).
This test facilitates the verification of the link status and of the two data directions. The interface sends a
loopback request to the remote equipment. The remote detects the RDL request and sends a loop closing
confirmation signal. When the equipment that sent the request detects the answer, it goes into testing.
The remote device has the same behavior when in LDL test. In the terminal status menu, the remote side
shows the RX-LDR indication while the local side shows the TX-LDR indication. Figure 26 shows the
pattern generation in this interface.
It is also possible to simultaneously execute the BERT, eliminating the need for an external test-set and
locally testing the metallic link. To carry this test it is necessary to first activate the RDL and then the
BERT.
The equipment will remain on testing conditions until the key (in the case of DM991S/SE modems) or the
CT141 are deactivated.
This test helps the verification of the internal and external data link status. Two loopbacks are done. The
internal loopback makes the data coming from the G.shdsl interface to be retransmitted. The external
loopback makes the external data coming from the E1 tributary to return to it. Figure 27 shows the test
conditions
The LAL tests the analogue part of the interface circuits. The data transmitted through the E1 interface
returns to the modem interface and the data coming from the E1 is discarded.
This test helps the verification of the internal and external data link status. Two loopbacks are done. The
internal loopback makes the data coming from the G.shdsl interface to be retransmitted. The external
loopback makes the external data coming from the digital interface to return to it. During LDL testing the
data in the digital interface remains in sync with the clocks configured for regular operation. Figure 29
shows the test conditions.
When the modem is configured by DIPs (DIP B6 = OFF), it is not possible to remotely run tests through
the terminal.
Tests can be activated by the terminal/management, by CT141, or even by keys (only in DM991S).
Remember that signal CT141 must be set up as controlled in the digital interface, so that testing can be
enabled.
In this test, the transmission data are returned to the reception. The loopback is done inside the G.703
interface, passing through the complete converter analogue circuit, as seen Figure 30.
If the equipment is working with a regenerated clock, activating the test, the clock will automatically be
altered to an internal clock. The led test and the led 109 will light up. When using the digital interface,
signals CT142 and CT109 are set to ON. On the TX-OUT line the signal is transmitted normally, meaning
the same signal returning to the digital interface.
The converter will remain in the test conditions until the key or CT141 is deactivated, or until the test is
stopped by Telebrás management.
When the digital interface is being used the DTE transmission data (CT103) are redirected to the DTE
reception (CT104). The loopback is done inside the V.35 - V.36/V.11 converter interface. Simultaneously
the signal recovered in the G.703 interface line IN is again retransmitted to line OUT, that is, the loopback
is also done between the G.703 interface receive and transmit drivers. The test led, the 109 led, the
CT142 and the CT109 are set as ON. In this way this test verifies the connection and the interface with
the local DTE, as well as the connection with the remote side.
The converser will remain in the test conditions until the key is deactivated, or until the test is stopped by
the management. If the test is activated by the key and disabled by the management the key will remain
pressed but the equipment will leave test mode. This can be detected by the TEST LED on the front
panel. In case the configuration is altered after that, the equipment will go into test again, once it will
recognize once more the key
Equipments go through constant upgrades, in which new facilitators are installed. To use them, it is
necessary that the equipment firmware is modified. This is done by downloading a new firmware.
To download, the user must have available in his/hers computer the file with the new firmware (which can
be obtained on the DATACOM web site:
www.datacom.ind.br
After obtaining file, the user can download it into the equipment through the terminal, sending the file in a
binary form.
Normally, the Windows® HyperTerminal does not send files in a binary form, but in text form. Therefore it
is recommended not to use the Windows® terminal to download software. DATACOM recommends the
use of the TeraTerm, which is a freeware software and can be found in the following address:
www.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html
To update the firmware, log on to the terminal and choose the equipment to which the firmware will be
sent. On the main menu screen press “F”. At the bottom of the screen, a message will show up, indicating
the download status. To start sending, the user must wait until a message appears indicating that the
download can be started. When this message appears, click on “File – Send File...”. Now select the
firmware, marking the “binary” option on the lower left corner of the screen. After that, click on “Open” and
wait for the download to finish. (Around 5 minutes at 9600bits/s)
The download happens with normal modem operation. When the transference is concluded, the
equipment will check the integrity of the received file. Should it be a valid file, the equipment will
automatically update your firmware, and only then will it restart, interrupting the connection for about a
minute and a half.
To download firmware versions that do not have this feature, contact DATACOM's technical support.

The installation of the DM991S/SE modem simply consist of inserting the modem card in a Telebrás
standard sub-rack slot in which its operation is desired (the options of the E1 interface pinout in the screw
connector block are shown in Table 13 ,Table 14 and Table14).
Make sure the card is running smoothly in the tracks. It should fit easily. If this does not occur, do not
force it. Take the card out again and verify what is blocking it.
15.1.2. DM991C/CE
The power input of the equipment can be either AC (93 to 250V, 50-60Hz) or DC (36 to 72V), its selection
being automatic. The connector is available in the back panel. To turn on the equipment just connect the
power cable.
For instructions about the installation of power supply see chapter 19.3 - Power Input.
15.2. Operation
The configuration is done initially through the serial port, available in the RS-232 connector in the front
panel. The PC connection is done through a cable with DB9 male connector on the equipment side and
DB9 or DB25 female connector on the PC side. The pinout is given on Table 1 for the DM991S/SE and on
Table 2 fro the DM991C/CE.
• Digital interface pins (V.35 - V.36/V11) available for connection through the DB25 female
connector;
• The IN and OUT signals of the E1 interface are available for connection through the BNC
(coaxial cable 75ohms) or through the RJ48 connector (twisted pair, 120ohms), in the
back panel (for DM991C/CE). The pinout can be seen on Table 15.
• The G.703 interface of the modem is available in the pins reserved for Dial Backup in the
screw connector block or in the DB25, this configuration being done through straps (for
DM991S/SE).
• The connection to the G.shdsl interface is available in the RJ45 connector identified with
the stamp “SHDSL” in the back panel (for DM991C/CE).
• The connection for the G.shdsl interface is available in the TX pins of the screw connector
block (for DM991S/SE).
• The connection for the Ethernet interface is available in the RJ45 connector identified with
the stamp “ETHERNET” in the front panel (for DM991SE and DM991CE).
15.3. Accessory
The modems card DM991S/DM991SE, offer a proprietor pinout for use of digital interface and E1
tributary, where these two interfaces may be available in DB25 connector of the sub rack.
For this application the DATACOM offers the adapter cable DB25 x DB25 2BNC.
This cable presents 1 DB25 male connector to be connected to DB25 of sub rack in one of sides, 2 BNC
connectors to connection of E1 interface and 1 DB25 female connector to connection of digital interface
(V.35/V.36) with ISO2110 Amd.1 standard pinout.
Here are described the structures defined by the G.704 recommendation. Note that a G.703 signal at
2048kbits/s with an according frame structure with the G.704 is also called E1 signal.
Frames are organized in larger structures, called multiframe. Every E1 signal is organized in two frames
multiframes. The first frame carries the FAS signal and the second frame contains no frame alignment
signal (NFAS).
Made up by 16 frames and uses Si bit of timeslot 0 of the frames to perform the Cyclic Redundancy
Check-4 procedure, making it possible to evaluate transmission quality. This multiframe always starts at a
frame that has FAS. The multiframe structure is identified by a six-bit structure known as the CRC4
multiframe alignment signal, found on odd frames. On the last two odd frames, sub multiframe error
signals are transmitted. Bit E of frame 13 (E13) corresponds to the error occurred on sub-multiframe I and
E15 correspond to the error occurred on sub-frame II. On the even frames, which have FAS present, the
four CRC bits calculated from the previous sub-frame are transmitted. Table 20, shows the CRC4
multiframe structure.
Usually used over lines that transmit voice channels. Its multiframe alignment is performed by timeslot 16,
with no relation to a possible CRC4 multiframe. Table 21 shows the CAS multiframes structures.
CAS and CRC4 structures are fully independent and can be individually disabled by the user.
In the case of signaling by a common channel, timeslot 16 is used. The signal aligning method in this
channel is part of the signaling protocol in use.
In the AMI code, mark is transmitted as alternate positive and negative pulses, while spaces are
transmitted as zero level voltage. AMI cannot transmit a long zero sequence because as there are no
signal variations on the line, the receiver will lose signal timing.
For the HDB3 format, mark is coded as for the AMI code, but four consecutive zeros (spaces) are
replaced by a 000V or B00V sequence. The choice of one or other is done in such way that the number of
B pulses between V consecutive pulses is odd, meaning successive V pulses have alternate polarity in
order that no DC component is introduced in the signal. The Figure 34 shows an application example of
HDB3 coding in a bit sequence.
