Configuration Option Tables

Table A-3. Data Port Options (2 of 3)

Carrier Control by RTS

Possible Settings: Constant, Switched

Default Setting: Constant

Simulates Constant or Switched Carrier operation.

Constant ± The internal RTS is forced on and the DSU is in a constant Data Mode on the transmit line. The external RTS lead is ignored. The actual signal on the line is either all ones (DMI) or DTE transmitted data.

Switched ± RTS is monitored and CMI codes are transmitted when RTS is off.

CTS Control

Possible Settings: Standard, Follow RTS, Forced On, Circuit Assurance

Default Setting: Standard

Specifies the operation of the Interchange Circuit CT106, Clear to Send (CTS), which is an output from the DSU.

Standard ± CTS follows the internal RTS with a fixed delay, except that CTS will be off when a network interface related alarm is detected or a test is active. The active test may be initiated locally, remotely, or by the network.

Follow RTS ± CTS follows the external RTS lead without delay, regardless of alarms and tests.

Forced On ± CTS is always forced on after the unit is powered up with a successful self-test.

Circuit Assurance ± With circuit assurance, CTS operates the same as the Standard option, except that CTS will also be deasserted when CMI codes are being received.

RLSD Control

Possible Settings: Standard, Forced On

Default Setting: Standard

Specifies the operation of the Interchange Circuit CT109, Received Line Signal Detector (RLSD or CD), which is an output from the DSU.

Standard ± RLSD is asserted when Data Mode is on the receive line. RLSD deasserts when a DDS facility alarm is detected or the DSU is receiving CMI codes.

Forced On ± RLSD is forced on after the unit is powered up with a successful self-test.

DSR Control

Possible Settings: Standard, Forced On, On During Test

Default Setting: Standard

Specifies the operation of the Interchange Circuit CT107, Data Set Ready (DSR), which is an output from the DSU.

Standard ± DSR is always asserted, except when a DDS facility alarm is reported or the DSU is in Test mode.

Forced On ± DSR is forced on after the unit is powered up with a successful self-test.

On During Test ± DSU operates the same as the Standard option, except that DSR remains asserted when the DSU is in Test mode to allow the DTE to send test patterns.

727 specifications

The Paradyne 727 is a cutting-edge piece of networking equipment that stands out for its robust performance and versatility in various technological environments. Designed primarily as a digital subscriber line (DSL) modem, the Paradyne 727 has gained significant traction among service providers looking to enhance their broadband offerings for residential and business customers.

One of the main features of the Paradyne 727 is its ability to support both Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) technologies. This dual compatibility allows for flexible deployment in different network infrastructures, whether in urban areas with high demand for broadband or in rural areas where DSL remains a feasible option. The device is capable of delivering high-speed internet access with downstream rates that can reach up to 24 Mbps for ADSL and up to 50 Mbps for VDSL, ensuring faster connectivity for users.

The Paradyne 727 is also equipped with advanced modulation technologies, such as discrete multitone modulation (DMT), which provides a superior noise immunity and allows for higher data rates over traditional DSL technologies. This capability makes it particularly beneficial in environments with varied signal quality. Moreover, the modem features an auto-sensing capability that helps it adjust to the best transmission parameters automatically, simplifying installation and maintenance for service providers.

Another significant characteristic of the Paradyne 727 is its user-friendly design. The device incorporates an intuitive web-based management interface that allows network administrators to efficiently monitor performance metrics, configure settings, and perform troubleshooting from a centralized location. This feature streamlines operations and minimizes downtime, which is crucial in maintaining service quality and customer satisfaction.

In addition to its performance and management features, the Paradyne 727 is built with security in mind. It supports both local authentication and RADIUS authentication, providing robust access control mechanisms to protect sensitive data and ensure that only authorized users can access the network. This emphasis on security contributes to the modem's appeal in enterprise settings, where data integrity is paramount.

With its comprehensive features, advanced technologies, and commitment to performance and security, the Paradyne 727 is a significant player in the world of broadband networking. Its adaptability makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, supporting the growing demand for high-speed internet access across various market segments.
