DTE Interface

The ASM-60 DTE interface supports the following interfaces:

•HSSI

•IR-ETH module with built-in Ethernet bridge

•IR-ETH/QH module with built-in Fast Ethernet bridge and VLAN support

•IR-IP module with built-in IP router.

Management

Setup, control, monitoring of status and diagnostics can be performed using an ASCII terminal connected to the ASM-60 async DCE control port.

Test Capabilities

ASM-60 performs an extensive self-test at start-up. During the self-test, ASM-60 checks its CPU, internal framer, DTE and interfaces and power supplies. The self-test results are displayed on the supervisory terminal.

Real Time Alarms

Real time alarms provide real time information on system status indicating loss of synchronization on line A and line B, DCD status etc.

ASM-60 also features a log file that stores all alarms and events that occurred in the unit. These alarms can be displayed and cleared.

Statistics Collection

ASM-60 stores the VDSL statistics for the line performance monitoring.
