Figure 1-3. ASM-60 Block Diagram

The ASM-60 modem consists of the following major modules:

CPU and Peripherals – This module, based on a microprocessor, includes Flash (1 Mb), RAM (0.5 Mb) and EEPROM (8 kb) memory and controls the ASM-60 operation.

VDSL Framer – This module encapsulates data bit stream coming from DTE and transmits it over two different analog lines. At the other end, it reverses the process by converting the two line data into one bit stream for the DTE. In addition, the VDSL framer supplies clock to the DTE.

VDSL Line Interface – Consists of two identical DSP modules. Each module transmits and receives signals over 2-wire at half of the data rate that running into the DTE interface.
