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.
