REMOTE UNIT WITH FLASH
(ATU-R)
1.
General Description
The Ethernet DSL remote unit (ATU-R) (A90-36R210W00) terminates a DSL line at the
subscriber location. The 10BaseT Ethernet DSL system uses Carrierless Amplitude Phase
Modulation (CAP) transmission to provide reliable DSL transport over the existing copper
cable infrastructure. The ATU-R separates CAP high-speed downstream and lower-speed
upstream channel data and POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) signals which have been
transported via twisted-pair copper wires between an access line module at the central office
and the subscriber premises. The ATU-R provides an industry standard 10BaseT interface
to the customer’s CPE equipment. Application software is fully downloadable to allow for
future enhancements. The ATU-R is available with or without an optional internal POTS
splitter.

Product Overview
The remote unit is located at the subscriber’s premises and terminates the digital subscriber
line originating from the (ATU-C) in the central office.
The software within the ATU-R completely controls the hardware by providing an embedded
system that implements a multiport learning MAC layer bridge that interfaces between
Logical Link Control/Subnetwork Access Protocol (LLC/SNAP) AAL5 encapsulated ATM cellbased, bridged protocol data units (PDUs) and 10BaseT Ethernet frames. The AAL5 layer is
the layer that supports connection-oriented, variable-bit-rate data services such as the
typical "bursty" data traffic found in today's LANs. The LLC sublayer handles error control,
flow control, framing, and MAC-sublayer addressing.
6.1
Features and Functions
The ATU-R provides a flexible platform for providing DSL services and applications. These
features include:
•
No in-home configuration required. Once the ADSL line is provisioned by the telco,
the ATU-R is plug-and-play.

•
PERMANENT VIRTUAL CIRCUIT (PVC) NUMBER – Assigns the number of the ATM
permanent virtual circuit. Defaults to zero (range 0 - 8).
•
VIRTUAL PATH IDENTIFIER (VPI) NUMBER – An 8-bit field in the ATM cell header that
indicates the virtual path over which a cell is to be routed. It is the VPI address of the
PVC. Defaults to zero (range 0-255).
•
VIRTUAL CHANNEL IDENTIFIER (VCI) NUMBER – The unique numerical tag used to
identify every virtual channel across an ATM network, defined by a 16-bit field in the
ATM cell header. It is used for the addressing information carried on ATM cells.
Indicates the VCI address of the PVC. Defaults to zero (range 0 - 65,535).
•
PEAK CELL RATE (PCR) – A traffic management parameter that determines how often
data samples are sent. Defaults to 3600 cells per second (range 0-30,000).
•
CELL DELAY VARIANCE TOLERANCE (CDVT) – A network descriptor parameter that
characterizes the delay jitter/cell clumping that can be encountered by cells in the
network and CPE devices. It is used in conjunction with PCR and SCR. Defaults to
zero (range 0 - 255). Measured in cell times.

Signals
ATU-C to ATU-R – POTS and DSL signals are sent from the access line module at the
central office to the ATU-R over the digital subscriber line. The POTS signal is carried in the
voice band frequency range, 0 to 4 kHz, that is specified by the telephone network voice
switch. The ADSL video and data signals are carried in the frequency range above 35 kHz
(out-of-voice band). The upstream channel occupies the frequency range between 35 kHz
and 170 kHz. The downstream channel occupies the range above 240 kHz and below 1.551
MHz.
ATU-R to Subscriber – The ATU-R receives the modulated signal from the access line
module and then separates the POTS signal from the DSL signal. The POTS signal is
routed to the subscriber’s telephone. The ATU-R demodulates the DSL signal and routes it
to the PC or other user equipment via an 10BaseT interface.
6.7
10BaseT Ethernet DSL Diagnostics
The system includes built-in diagnostics that may be invoked through the elementmanagement system. Diagnostics are performed at the card level on an individual basis and
results are sent back to the EMS system.
The Ethernet DSL system provides the unit self-test diagnostic to facilitate trouble isolation
and restoral. Unit self-tests verify the operation of the units themselves and are used to
determine whether the equipment is causing specific problems.
When card-level
diagnostics are performed, the cards and circuits under test are taken out-of-service.

Rev. P2, 07/01/98
Test results are displayed as each diagnostic routine completes. Diagnostic self-tests are
performed upon start-up, and then only when requested by the element-management
system. This diagnostic causes the DSL loop to go through a retraining sequence and is
considered to be intrusive diagnostics.
6.8
System Status and Performance Management
The CAP DSL system utilizes a Reed Solomon forward error correction (FEC) algorithm and
a convoluted interlever to improve performance on noisy transmission lines.
The ATU-R can verify connectivity to the central office line and via loopbacks of F5 OAM
cells. Upon receiving this cell through the ADSL interface, the ATU-R will loop back this cell
to the originator via the ADSL network interface.
On normal power-down, the ATU-R will generate a “dying gasp” message to the ATU-C to
indicate a power-down status.
A visual indicator on the front panel READY LED provides an indication of severely errored
condition occurring on the DSL link. This errored card threshold is programmed into the
system via the element management system. Once the threshold has been crossed, the
READY LED will blink intermittent red.
A variety of statistics are maintained by the common control modules on performance of the
digital subscriber line (DSL). The ATU-R reads its performance monitoring data and then
forwards the data to the central office module for reporting via the element-management
system. The data that is collected includes:
7.
•
CODING VIOLATION (CV) – A CRC error over the DSL link. Note that there are
downstream coding violations and upstream. CV violations are use by the ATU-Cs to
calculate Errored Seconds (ES), Severely Errored Seconds (SES), and Unavailable
Seconds (UAS).
•
DSL HEC (CELL HEADER ERROR CORRECTION BYTE) ERROR SECONDS (DHES) – A count
of one-second periods where at least one HEC Error was observed.
•
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE M ARGIN (SNM) – The current signal margin recorded.
•
LINE ATTENUATION (ATTN) – The current line attenuation recorded.
