Parameters Possible Values Description
PSD
Symmetric
Asymmetric
Power spectral density, amount of power applied to the
spectrum of frequencies that carry the information signal in
order to achieve a satisfactory level of signal strength at the
receiving end of the circuit
Supported in both Annex A and Annex B modes
Supported in Annex A at 768 kbps and in Annex B at 2048 kbps
SNR Margin Signal-to-noise margin (in dB)
SNR Margin
Threshold
0 dB to 15 dB Signal-to-noise ratio threshold. FCD-IPM sends trap, if the signal-
to-noise ratio on the line exceeds the threshold value
Loop Attn.
Threshold
0 dB to 127 dB Loop attenuation is difference (in dB) between the power
transmitted from FCD-IPM and the power received by the unit
operating at the other side of the application. By setting the
threshold, you instruct the FCD-IPM to generate a trap, if
selected loop attenuation threshold value is exceeded.
SHDSL Loops

FCD-IPM supports activation of local and remote loopbacks. The loopbacks are

activated via the SHDSL Loops menu.

To access the SHDSL Loops menu:

From the SHDSL Settings menu appears (see Figure 5-33), type 2.

The SHDSL Loops menu appears (see Figure 5-35).

Table 5-16. SHDSL Loops

Parameters Possible Values Description
Local unit loop Disabled
Local Loopback
Remote Loopback
FCD-IPM operates normally, all loopbacks are disabled
In this mode, the data transmitted from FCD-IPM to the E1
interface is sent back to the received path (see Figure 5-36). The
SHDSL link is down when the local loopback is active
In this mode, FCD-IPM performs a loopback and transmits back
the data that was received from the SHDSL line
(see Figure 5-37). SHDSL link remains operative, when the
remote loopback is running
