4. PROVISIONING

The SHDSL T1/E1 NTU menus are accessed via the DB-9 front panel female connector which supports VT100 emulation by PC based application programs or by a virtual terminal session over the EOC.

The parameters of the VT100 terminal should be set as follows:

9600 Baud

No parity

8 Data bits

1 Stop bits

No Flow Control

Once these steps have been completed, the following options will appear in the SHDSL T1/E1 NTU Main Menu:

1.Unit Information

2.Provisioning

3.Status

4.Test

5.Performance History

Windows HyperTerminal

Windows HyperTerminal can be used as a VT100 terminal emulation program. Open HyperTerminal by selecting Programs/Accessories/HyperTerminal. Refer to the Help section of HyperTerminal for additional information.

NOTE

To ensure proper display background, select VT100 terminal emulation under Settings.

The menu tree in Figure 3 illustrates the path to every provisioning, performance, and test access point in the SHDSL T1/E1 menu system.

Table 4 lists the complete set of configurable options with settings and factory default values.

NOTE

When the NTU is in T1 mode, all related E1 options will be non-applicable. A non-appli- cable option setting is still changeable, but will not take affect until the option become appli- cable.

SHDSL E1 specifications

ADTRAN SHDSL E1 is a high-speed digital subscriber line technology that provides businesses with robust and reliable data communication solutions. SHDSL, or Single-pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line, operates over traditional copper wiring and enables symmetrical data rates of up to 2.3 Mbps, making it ideal for both upstream and downstream data transmission. When combined with E1, which is a standard for digital transmission in telecommunications, the technology can support efficient voice and data services.

One of the main features of ADTRAN SHDSL E1 is its ability to leverage existing copper infrastructure, allowing organizations to benefit from high-speed connectivity without the need for extensive new installations. This is particularly valuable for businesses in areas where fiber-optic services may be limited or unavailable, thus promoting cost-effectiveness and accessibility.

ADTRAN’s SHDSL E1 product line incorporates advanced technologies that ensure reliable and efficient transmission. The technology employs advanced error correction techniques and dynamic rate adaptation, which automatically adjusts the data rate depending on line conditions. This capability provides stability and performance even in varying environmental circumstances, reducing the likelihood of service disruptions.

Another notable characteristic of ADTRAN SHDSL E1 is its support for multiple protocols, including Ethernet, T1, and E1, allowing seamless integration into diverse network environments. This versatility is essential for businesses looking to unify different communication services while optimizing their network infrastructure.

Additionally, ADTRAN equipment is designed with a focus on ease of management and deployment. The devices typically come equipped with user-friendly interfaces and management systems, empowering IT teams to monitor performance, configure settings, and perform diagnostics easily. This simplifies operational procedures and enhances the overall user experience.

In terms of scalability, ADTRAN's SHDSL E1 solutions can grow with an organization’s needs. As businesses expand and their data transmission requirements increase, they can upgrade their ADTRAN systems to accommodate higher bandwidths and more extensive networks without significant overhauls.

In conclusion, ADTRAN SHDSL E1 offers a powerful and efficient solution for businesses seeking reliable data communication over existing copper lines. With its combination of advanced technologies, multi-protocol support, ease of management, and scalability, it stands out as a viable option for organizations aiming to enhance their network capabilities without incurring substantial costs.
