3 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 General Information about FlexDSL Orion3

The FlexDSL Orion3 SHDSL.bis Extended product family offers a broad range of products,
which are based on the latest SHDSL.bis standards (ITU-T G.991.2 & ETS TS 101 524), while
also being fully interoperable with all our existing SHDSL equipment (Orion1 & Orion2). The
FlexDSL Orion3 supports TC-PAM16/32 and the new TC-PAM4/8/64/128 line coding. The
support of these line codes ensures compatibility with existing SHDSL equipment that is already
installed, in order to protect customer investments, while at the same time providing an upgrade
path to the newest DSL technologies.
SHDSL.bis Extended allows symmetrical data and voice transmission at speeds up to 15.2Mbps
over a single pair of copper. In addition, the FlexDSL Orion3 modem range also supports DSL
channel bonding for up to 4 copper pairs in order to achieve speeds to 60.8Mbps! FlexDSL Orion3
SHDSL.bis Extended modems can provide up to 4 complete E1 interfaces, which support framed
and unframed services (G.703/G.704). An integrated 2 or 4 port Ethernet layer 2 managed switch
with VLAN support (10/100BaseT) ensures connectivity to IP services. Beside of E1 and Ethernet
we have additional interfaces like Nx64 that can be configured to be a V.35, V.36, X.21 or V.28
interface (cable selected). Also RS-232 and RS-485 (asynchrounous) are available. This makes
FlexDSL Orion3 SHDSL.bis Extended modems a perfect solution for a wide range of applications
in which TDM and IP services need to be transmitted over copper wires.
Like all FlexDSL Orion products, the Orion3 SHDSL.bis Extended modems family is based on
industrial components and is manufactured according to highest quality standards providing
additional value due to the extended temperature range and higher reliability.

3.2.1 Remote Power Supply and Wetting Current

The wetting current and remote power supply modes can be changed by jumpers and the
configuration management. Despite the safe voltage on each DSL copper wire with respect to the
ground (<120 Volts according to EN 60950), the use of the remote power supply has to be done
strictly according to the following rules:
• When working with DSL copper lines make sure that the remote power is switched off.
• The insulation of cable pairs, junctions (junction boxes, distribution frames, etc.) should be
checked against the remote power voltage (norms and standards of the network)

3.2.1.1 Compatibility of Remote Power and Wetting Current Supply Modes

Devices operating in pairs should be configured for mutual operation! The mode «» means
recommended and possible.
The use of the mode «-» is not recommended because it may cause high power consumption,
degradation of communication (communication stability), and additional safety measures.
The mode «inc» (incompatible) will not allow the devices to establish communication (because
in this case one or both devices will be de-energized).

3.2.1.2 Configuration of Remote Power and Wetting Current Supply

Each LTU SHDSL channel can be configured to supply wetting current, to consume wetting
current, to supply remote power or being passive. The switching between these modes is
performed by setting the corresponding jumpers separately for each DSL channel of the modem
and to use one configuration command in the modem software menu (POWER [OFF/ON] N).

Be aware, that you can configure up to 4 SHDSL channels at 120Volts each or up to 2 SHDSL
channels at 200Volts (200Volts mode is supported for DSL-1 and DSL-2 only).
The default delivery setting for any LTU is 120VDC and 60mA. It is short circuit protected and at
any failure the system will restart automatically.

3.2.2 Description of Orion3 Interfaces

3.2.2.1 SHDSL Interface

The Orion3 devices are available with 1, 2 or 4 SHDSL interfaces. The interfaces can operate
fully independent of each other as well as they can be combined to operate in multipair mode.
Therefore all independent SHDSL interfaces and groups of SHDSL interfaces (multipair mode)
can be configured separately from each other. The multipair mode, the reservation mode and the
automatic configuration detection mode naturally limit the independent working.
All SHDSL interfaces support plesiochronous data transmission. It means that reference clock
frequencies, which are used to clock data transmission, are transmitted together with the data in
different directions of one SHDSL link. The clock frequencies of different SHDSL channels are
completely independent if they do not operate in the multipair mode.
An SHDSL channel working in the independent mode can simultaneously transmit one or several
E1 streams, Nx64 or RS-232/485 data and one WAN stream. E1 transmission is plesiochronous.
All E1 streams received by one SHDSL interface should use the same clock frequency in one
direction.

3.2.2.1.1 Master/Slave
To establish a connection, it is necessary that one transceiver side is configured as Master and
the other as Slave. In this case, the connection is controlled by the Master device.
17
User Manual LTU Orion 3
3.2.2.1.2 Multipair Mode
If 2, 3 or 4 SHDSL channels are configured to operate in the multipair mode, they work at the
same clock frequency and line rate like one SHDSL channel with doubled, tripled or quadrupled
transmission capacity. Similarly to the independent channel, such a combined channel can
simultaneously transmit one or several E1 streams and one WAN stream. This transmission is
also plesiochronous. All E1 streams that are transmitted over one SHDSL interface should use
the same clock frequency per direction.
In multipair mode, one SHDSL channel serves as a “master” channel, while the other SHDSL
channels serve as “slave” channels. If the link in one channel fails, links in all other channels
break too and the procedure of connection/activation restarts.
The four-channel modems provide a possibility to organize pair-wise channels, i.e., these two
two-pair links will operate independently from each other.
The main application for the multipair mode is the increasing of the transmission range. In this
case, some channels operate at low transmission rates. In multipair mode some limitations are
imposed on the Baserate parameter.

The next figure shows an example of an Orion3 device working in four-pair operation mode (the
<MULTIPAIR> command is used to configure multipair operation mode). Four SHDSL channels
are combined into one group. Through this multipair channel one E1 stream and Ethernet packets
are transmitted. This mode allows increasing the transmission range, compared to the use of only
one single SHDSL channel, because the data rate of each SHDSL channel is lower (the
advantage in the transmission range will depend on the cable parameters and noise immunity).

3.2.2.1.3 Reservation Mode


Reservation is provisioned for 2- and 4-channel FlexDSL Orion3 devices. The main task of
reservation is to transmit the most important data even in the case of the failure of one or several
SHDSL connections. Reservation also takes care about an efficient bandwidth usage over all
SHDSL channels like the normal transmission modes.
Reservation will not guarantee a continuous transmission of important data in the case of a failure.
When one or several DSL connections fail, a sort-term loss of Ethernet packet and E1 data can
occur.
SHDSL channels with successive numbers (example: DSL-1, DSL-2 or DSL-2, DSL-3, DSL-4)
are merged into a group of channels with reservation. For these merged channels, the traffic in
the SHDSL channels with the lowest numbers has higher priority than the traffic with higher
numbers. For example, DSL-1 has a higher priority than DSL-2, and DSL-2 has a higher priority
than DSL-3. If the communication in one or several SHDSL channels inside the reservation group
is broken, remaining working channels transmit the data of the failed high-priority channels. At
any failure the system always operates as if the low-priority channels failed.
Consider the reservation with two channels: DSL-1 and DSL-2 (DSL-1 has a higher priority
compared to DSL-2). If the DSL-2 channel fails, the DSL-1 channel continues to operate without
any changes. If the DSL-1 channel fails, the DSL- 2 channel transmits the data of the DSL- 1
channel. Hence, the DSL-1 channel should transmit the high-priority data.
If the substitute channel has a lower transmission capacity than the main channel, the transmitted
data will be decreased. First, the volume of WAN data will be decreased up to 1 timeslot (TS,
64kbit/s), and then, the number of transmitted E1 timeslots will be decreased. If multiple E1
streams are transmitted, the streams at the end of the list will be decreased (if E1-1, E1-2 are in
the list, the E1-2 stream will be deleted). First, timeslots with large numbers are deleted. However,
there is an exception for TS 16, which, if transmitted, will be deleted before or after TS 0.

Table 3.6 Examples of reservation with two channels


The following pictures illustrate the last example in the previous table with reservation of two
channels (The <RESERVE> command is used to configure reservation).

20
User Manual LTU Orion 3

Figure 3.5 Example of reservation

While for a two SHDSL channels system in case of a failure the substitution of channels is “trivial”,
in three and four SHDSL channels system different variants are possible. However, any system
using the reservation mode follows a strict logic in channel substitution. The next table illustrates
the logic of channel reservation with 2/3/4 SHDSL interfaces.
The table for four DSL channels is constructed based on the assumption that communication in
one channel is lost frequently, while communication in two channels occurs less frequently.
Usually a loss of communication occurs successively, i.e., the first channel fails and then the next
channel fails. The logic and rules for channel substitution are made to minimize the number of
channel switching (especially high-priority channels) to minimize the data losses.

3.2.2.1.4 Automatic Configuration of a Link


FlexDSL Orion 3 devices support to configure the complete link in accordance with the Master-
Modem configuration. This mode is available for the following links:
• Point-to-Point single-channel or multipair links
• Point-to-Point multi-channel links with independent channels
• Star-topology multichannel links
• Point-to-Point two-channel two-pair links
• Star-topology two-pair links
• Links with regenerators
Note: Automatic configuration of link reservation is not supported.
When the automatic configuration is used, the Slave-Modems and Regenerators receive nearly
all configuration parameters for DSL and all other interfaces (like E1) through the link from the
Master-Modem. In a majority of cases they require just a minimum configuration, what helps not
to duplicate manually the configurations to all other devices in the link. Configurations like the
number of transmitted E1 timeslots over DSL, CRC4 and E1 (G703/4) modes do not have to be
configured on all devices because they are received automatically through the link.
The system of automatic configuration operates the following way:
• The CP side (Slave) automatically adjusts configuration according to the stream structure
received from the CO side (Master), not to cause permanent losses of user data.
• If the CP side (Slave) cannot adjust correspondingly, it displays a RCONF alarm and sends
a message to the remote terminal device (Master). If configurations of terminal devices
(Master and Slave) do not coincide, the RCONF alarm is displayed. RCONF means a
remote urgent alarm.
The link is adjusted in the channel structure in the direction from the Master- to the Slave-Modem:
• The stream structure is configured on the Master-Modem device.
• If there is any Regenerator in the link, it receives this structure and configures itself
according to it.

22
User Manual LTU Orion 3
• Also a next Regenerator receives the structure from the previous Regenerator and performs
configuration according to it.
• The Slave-Modem receives the stream structure from the last Regenerator in the link and
also performs configuration
• When the Slave-Modem receives configuration, it distributes the received E1 streams
information to its E1 ports. If the number of ports is not enough, it displays the RCONF alarm
and does not change the configuration of the E1 streams. Also if the E1 streams are not
distributed, the Slave-Modem receives the configurations of WAN. Therefore, the integrity
of the Ethernet link is supported.
The RCONF alarm (displayed by the <ALARM> command) means that the local and remote
equipment have incompatible configurations.
• The RCONF alarm is automatically not displayed if a DSL link, in which it was detected,
fails.
• If the device operates in the CA mode (automatic configuration of a link), the alarm is not
displayed when the device finally adjusts to the CO side (Master).

Figure. 3.6 Automatic configuration, 4x E1 and Ethernet are transmitted over one SHDSL link

Figure 3.7 Automatic configuration Star-topology

A more complex case is the independent two-channel connection: two E1 streams and Ethernet
packets are transmitted in the first channel and the second channel. The Slave-Modem
determines the order of E1 interfaces for the streams from each DSL link only when the
communication in both links is established.

3.2.2.2 E1 Interface (G.703/704)

3.2.2.2.1 Framed and Unframed E1


The Orion3 product family supports transmission of framed and unframed E1 interfaces.
In unframed (transparent) mode, the E1 data is transmitted over the SHDSL without any changes.
In framed mode (framing according to ITU-T G.704), the E1 data is processed by the onboard E1
framer. In this case, 1-32 timeslots per E1 stream can be transmitted over the SHDSL line.

3.2.2.2.2 CRC4 (Cyclic Redundancy Check)


The CRC4 mode enables the error performance monitoring of the E1 network interface with the
help of a cyclic redundancy check.
If the mode is enabled, the modem synchronizes with CRC4 sub-multiframes at the E1 output
and displays information about CRC errors. In this case the modem regenerates E1 CRC4 sub-
multiframes and checksum words in the outgoing E1 stream.
If the mode is disabled, the modem transmits transparently CRC4 sub-multiframes and checksum
words if the generation of the zero time slot is not activated. If the TS0GEN mode is activated,
the zero time slot is generated without CRC4 sub-multiframes and checksum words.

3.2.2.2.3 AIS Generation (Alarm Indication Signal)


If this mode is enabled, AIS will be transmitted to the E1 side under the following conditions:
• the loss of the line signal from the remote device or loss of frame alignment on the DSL side
• the remote device receives an AIS over E1 interface, which is configured to transmit data
from E1 to DSL. This mode is enabled only if the AIS detection mode is enabled on the
remote device (see below). If multiple E1 streams are transmitted the AIS generation and
detection are independent per E1 stream.

WARNING
IF THE AIS GENERATION MODE IS DISABLED, THE SIGNAL AT THE
OUTPUT OF THE E1 INTERFACE WILL BE ABSENT WHEN LOSING
COMMUNICATION IN THE DSL LINE (EXCEPT FOR TIME SLOTS OF THIS
INTERFACE DEDICATED TO CARRY ETHERNET DATA)
IF SOME TIMESLOTS OF AN E1 INTERFACE ARE USED TO TRANSMIT
ETHERNET DATA, AIS WILL NOT BE GENERATED FOR THIS
INTERFACE.

24
User Manual LTU Orion 3
3.2.2.2.4 AIS Detection
If this mode is enabled, the reception of an AIS through the E1 interface will cause the following:
• a non-urgent alarm will appear
• AIS will be transmitted to the remote device of the DSL

WARNING
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ENABLE THE AIS DETECTION AND AIS
GENERATION MODES FOR ALL E1 NETWORK INTERFACES.

3.2.2.2.5 Е1 Clock Modes


The Orion3 product family has different possibilities to synchronize E1 interfaces. Usually the E1
interface takes the E1-clock from the E1-input and transmits it through the SHDSL link to the E1-
output (plesiochronous). But we also support external clocking, internal clocking and clocking
priorities.

Figure 3.9. Е1 clock modes

From E1 network interface side to SHDSL line side the following clock sources can serve as
reference timing signals:
1. External clock generator (EXTERNAL) (inside subrack/minirack/UTT4).
2. Clocking from the first E1 input stream (E1-1) (if available).
3. Clocking from the second E1 input stream (E1-2) (if available).
4. Clocking from the third E1 input stream (E1-3) (if available).
5. Clocking from the forth E1 input stream (E1-4) (if available).
6. Clocking from the internal generator (INTERNAL).
With the SETCLOCK command, the user can configure the priority levels for the clock sources.
The device automatically switches to the clock source with the highest priority under conditions
that synchronization in this mode is possible.
EXTERNAL means a synchronization from an external clock generator corresponding to the
recommendation ITU-T G.703.10. If the input signal of the external clock is lost, the device
switches to another clock source according the priority level. Using the external clock in

25
User Manual LTU Orion 3
synchronization priorities, this external clock should have the highest priority. If the external clock
generator is absent, it should not be included in the priority list.
E1-1, E1-2, E1-3 and E1-4 mean synchronization from one of the input E1 stream. If the E1
stream, which serves as a clock, is lost, the device switches to another clock according to the
priority level.
INTERNAL means synchronization from an internal clock source. This clock source should be the
last one in the priority list (but in the absence of any other clock source, for example, when only
Ethernet data are transmitted, this source can be the primary and the only one).
Switching between clock sources occurs within 100 ms, after loosing synchronization.

3.2.2.3 Nx64, RS-232/RS-485 and G.703/E0 Interfaces

The Orion3 product family can be equipped with a wide range of modular and exchangeable
daughtercards with different interfaces. In this manual we describe the most important four cards.
The first card supports Nx64 interfaces (V.35, V.36, X.21, V.28), the second card supports
asynchronous RS-232 interfaces, the third supports asynchronous RS-485 and the fourth
supports a codirectional G.703/E0 (64 kbps) interface.
Nx64 interfaces:
• V.35, Speed 64…8192 kbps
• V.36 (with termination), Speed 64…8192 kbps
• X.21 (with termination), Speed 64…8192 kbps
• V.28 (synchronous), Speed 64…192 kbps
Interface type is cable selected. You can use the command EXTRATE [N] (N=1…128) to set the
data rate (N*64 kbps).
RS-232 interface:
• RS-232, Speed 75, 1200-230400 bps
• number of data bits: 5…8
• number of stop bits:1, 1.5 or 2
• parity: odd/even/odd/mark/space
You can use the command EXTRATE [N] to set the baud rate (N is baudrate, for instance 9600).
The command RSFORMAT [format] is used to set the data format (example of format: 8N1).
RS-485 interface:
• RS485, Speed 75, 1200-230400 bps
• number of data bits: 5…8
• number of stop bits:1, 1.5 or 2
• parity: odd/even/odd/mark/space
You can use the command EXTRATE [N] to set the baud rate (N is baudrate, for instance 9600).
The command RSFORMAT [format] is used to set the data format (example of format: 8N1). The
RS485 interface supports half- and full-duplex operation configurable by the command
RSDUPLEX [F/H].
G.703/E0 codirectional 64 kbps interface:
• G.703/E0, Speed 64 kbps
• Range 500 m
There are different possibilities to synchronize the G.703/E0 64 kbps codirectional interface.
Usually this interface takes the clock from the G.703/E0 input signal and transmits it through the
SHDSL link to the G.703/E0 output signal. For that reason you can use the command SETCLOCK
to select the G.703/E0 clock as SHDSL clock source. But we also support external clocking,
internal clocking and clocking priorities. With the command G703CLOCK you select the reference
clock for the outgoing data.

3.2.2.3.1 Nx64 Clocking Modes


Nx64 clocking modes can be selected by using the command EXTCLOCK [SRC] [DIR]. The SRC
argument sets one of 3 possible clock modes for the transmit and receive clocks (signal number
114 (TX clock) and 115 (RX Clock)):
• NORMAL (DSL) both clocks are derived from the receiving DSL stream
• INT (internal) both clocks are generated from the internal generator signal
• TTC (external) clock for signal number 115 is derived from the terminal transmit clock input
(signal number 113)
The DIR argument sets the transmit clock direction:
• CO (codirectional): Transmit clock and transmit data have same directions, i.e. both are
inputs to the modem at signal number 113 (clock) and 103 (data). In case of RX mode (see
above) the whole TX path is clocked by this clock, while in other modes data coming to TX
input (signal number 103) is put into FIFO using the clock from line 113 and get out from
FIFO by clock defined by SRC.
• CONTRA (contradirectional): Transmit clock and transmit data have opposite directions, i.e.
transmit clock is an output from the modem at signal number 114 and transmit data is an
input to the modem at signal number 103.
In combination with the command SETCLOCK (units with Nx64 interface have the possibility to
set the clock source to the SHDSL line side as Nx64 clock (parameter “V35” of SETCLOCK
command)), it is possible to realise different clock schemes. The following table shows different
valid combinations of clock modes for the Master modem:

loops is software programmable. You can use the command AUTOLOOP to adjust automatic
loop reaction: Lines 140 and 142 are not supported by the system.

3.2.2.4 Input Sensor and Output Relay

FlexDSL Orion3 devices can be equipped with IO module containing 4 Inputs and 4 Outputs.
Input is a pair of contacts connected to current detector; if the current is present in the electric
circuit the Input switches its state to "Closed". Input changes its state into "Open" if no current
detected in the electric circuit.
Output is a pair of contacts (normally-open and normally-closed) and common wire connected to
relay. Relay may stay either on "Active" or in "Inactive" state. Active state means that the current
passes through relay coil and common contact is connected to the normally-open contact. Inactive
state means that no current passes through relay coil and common contact is connected to
normally-closed one.

28
User Manual LTU Orion 3
Two Orion3 units with IO daughter-modules create communication channel that transfers Input
status to corresponding Output relay over DSL, Ethernet or E1 link.
Input sensors can also be configured to trigger internal Minor or Major alarm of the Orion3 device
while Output relays can be triggered by the modem Alarm status.
4I4O daughter-card of Orion3 creates IP-based channel and uses either UDP or TCP messages
for operation.

3.2.2.5 Ethernet Interface

The Ethernet interfaces of all FlexDSL Orion3 devices fulfil the standard IEEE 802.3 and support
the Port (PBVLAN command) and Tag (VLAN command) based VLAN protocol (Virtual Local
Area Network – IEEE 802.1Q). A virtual network represents a group of network nodes, whose
traffic, including the broadcast traffic, is completely isolated from other network nodes. The
organization of virtual networks usually decreases the load in the network, because the broadcast
traffic will be transmitted not to the entire network but to members of the VLAN sender. Due to
the fact that the members of different VLANs can exchange information via a router, which allows
a controlled traffic, the use of VLAN technology provides a high level of security. In addition, any
changes in the network structure are simplified because instead of configuring the work station to
which the modem is connected you only have to configure the modem port.
To construct VLAN networks and to provide the priority in the data transmission, an extended
Ethernet frame is used, which contains an additional VLAN tag of 2 bytes length. The tag includes
the number of the VLAN to which the packet belongs and its priority level.
Some types of traffic (real-time video, voice or IP traffic) should be sent inside the network without
any delays. To provide the necessary quality of this traffic, the Orion3 devices support Ethernet
traffic priority according to the standard protocol IEEE 802.1P (so-called QoS, Quality of Service).
It means to analyze the header content of each Ethernet frame to get information about the
necessary priority of this application. The internal switch places this data to the corresponding
queue of the output port. The Orion3 equipment supports two priority queues when sending
packets – a high and low priority queue. According to it, all Ethernet traffic can be divided into
high priority groups (for example VoIP traffic or control and management channels) and low
priority groups (for example LAN1 and LAN2).
The Ethernet traffic between all network interfaces of the device is distributed by the internal
Ethernet switch (see next figure). In Orion3 devices four types of network interfaces exist:
• Ethernet interfaces (external connector on the front panel, and back plane connector)
• SHDSL interfaces (when the device is properly configured)
• E1 interfaces (when the device is properly configured)
• Virtual management port (Telnet session)
The number of E1 and SHDSL interfaces depends on the model of the Orion3 family. The choice
of the interface (DSL or E1), which will be mapped to the corresponding WAN interface is
performed by the <PAYLOAD> and <WANTS> command.

29
User Manual LTU Orion 3

Figure 3.12 Internal Switch

For single-channel modems the DSL channel is strictly mapped to WAN1, while the E1 interface
is strictly mapped on WAN2.

Figure 3.13 Internal Switch for single-channel devices (FG-PAM-SRL-2E1B/4Eth-RP,V90)

A group of LANx Ports (Ethernet interface) means the LAN port connector on the front panel or
backplane that can serve as a Trunk port, Access port or Mixed port.
The Trunk port is a port where all present packets have the VLAN format, namely, the Ethernet
frame with a header, determining the number of the VLAN and QoS. In Trunk mode, only tagged
frames pass into and out of LANx port, frames are allowed to pass on per-VLAN basis. This
means that special equipment supporting VLAN is connected to the Trunk port. A PC with a
standard network interface card cannot be connected to the Trunk port.
The Access port is a port where all present packets have a standard Ethernet format (without
the additional two bytes for the header). It means that only untagged frames pass into (ingress)
and out of (egress) any LANx port. On ingress, frames are assigned with a default VLAN tag
(configured by VID and QoS commands). On egress, only frames with VLAN equal to the default
VLAN of the port are allowed, and this tag is removed. A PC with a standard network interface
card can be connected to the Access port.
30
User Manual LTU Orion 3
The Mixed port is a port where tagged and untagged traffic is allowed. However, on ingress, a
default VLAN tag is assigned to untagged traffic (configured by QOS and VLAN commands), so
that all frames in the system are actually tagged. On egress frames with VLAN equal to the default
VLAN (configured with VLAN command), exit the port untagged, while to all other VLANs apply
pass/block rules set by the ALLOW command.
Mode Default VLAN VLAN1-VLAN8, OTHER
(set with VLAN command) (set with ALLOW command)

TRUNK Not taken into account Tagged traffic outside of the modem.

not equal to default VLAN.

Table 3.8 Access, Trunk and Mixed Mode


Orion3 devices always transmit Ethernet packets over DSL or E1 interfaces with the VLAN format.
It means that data packets coming from Access ports are first transformed into Ethernet packets
with VLAN format (adding standard VLAN number and QoS priority level) and after this
transmitted over any line interface.
There is a special case when having the same MAC address on different VLANs and PBVLANs.
Normally, there should not be two devices on the network sharing the same VLAN. But IEEE
802.1Q VLANs as well as port-based VLANs allow creating separate logical networks on one
physical network. Thus, in different VLANs or PBVLANs there could be devices sharing the same
MAC address. On Orion3, however, there is a hardware limitation preventing all VLAN+PBVLAN
combinations from having different address databases, and therefore, allowing same MAC
address to be used on all VLAN&PBVLAN combinations is possible in the modem configuration.
But, knowing which configurations are valid will allow using modems in all really vital
configurations. There are two rules.
1. For separately managed VLANs 1-8. Each VLAN has its own MAC address table, and thus
device with MAC address ABC in each of these 8 VLANs will not conflict with any device with
MAC address ABC in any other VLAN. But the limitation here is the use of port-based VLANs.
MAC address database is shared among all PBVLANs for VLAN1-8. Therefore a device with
MAC address XYZ, VLAN1, PBVLAN A, will conflict with device with MAC address XYZ,
VLAN1, PBVLAN B.
2. For all other VLANs. Here, every PBVLAN has its own MAC address table, but different
VLANs on one PBVLAN share the same database. A device with the MAC address XYZ,
VLAN(any other), PBVLAN A, will not conflict with a device having the MAC address XYZ,
VLAN(any other), PBVLAN B. But the device with the MAC address ABC, VLAN(any other),
PBVLAN A, will conflict with the device having the MAC address ABC, VLAN(any other+1),
PBVLAN A.

Table 3.9 Same MAC address on different VLANs and PBVLANs


In addition, every unit has a table of static MAC addresses (up to 8 addresses) for connected
devices, so that each device can have a VLAN number and a QoS priority level (this is a table of
special MAC addresses). If a packet is received from the Access port and the MAC address of
the packet sender is inside this table, a header with the necessary VLAN number and the QoS
priority will be assigned to this packet before transmitting it to the Trunk port. Otherwise, a default
VLAN number and QoS priority will be assigned to the packet.
A group of DSL ports (WAN1–WAN4) (SHDSL interface) means that Ethernet data can be
mapped onto specified timeslots (64kbit/s) on the SHDSL interface by using the internal switch.
In this case, this port always serves as a Trunk port. Any data received from Access/Mixed
ports are first transformed into Ethernet packets with VLAN format and then transmitted over the
SHDSL interface.
A group of E1 ports (WAN1–WAN4) (E1 interface) means that Ethernet data can be mapped
onto specified timeslots (64kbit/s) on the E1 interface by using the internal switch. In this case,
this port always serves as a Trunk port.
A virtual management port (INT) (Virtual management port) is an internal device management
program. The IP-address of this device is the logical address of the management program. For
example, to open a session for managing a remote device, the IP-address of this device should
be specified in the Telnet program. At the physical layer, the MAC address of the device is also
the management program address, which is inside the Ethernet frame.
Note: As a rule the data of the management port have the highest priority (example, QoS = 7).

3.2.2.6 MAC Filter

The system supports MAC filtering feature. If enabled the device will filter MAC addresses and
acts according to the defined MAC filtering rule. If disabled, the system will store and forward
correct Ethernet packets according to the configuration of Ethernet subsystem.
White List
White List contains a list of MAC addresses. The fact of MAC address presence in the list means
that the data exchange between the modem device and the node with selected MAC is allowed.
The data exchange between the modem device and the node with non listed MAC address is
prohibited.
Interfaces
The White List is applicable per LAN Interface. Therefore the number of lists is equal to the
number of physical Ethernet ports of the device.
Note: White List can't be enabled on WAN interfaces.

32
User Manual LTU Orion 3
Number of Entries
Every White List stores up to 10 MAC addresses. A same MAC address can be stored in several
White Lists.

3.2.2.6.1 MAC Filter Rules


MAC Address Filtering
If ingress packet has a MAC address that is not listed in the White List the LAN interface belongs
to, this packet will be dropped. No information will be recorded and no message will be generated
by the device. It is default mode and it will be enabled automatically as soon as the MAC filtering
feature will be enabled.
MAC Address Filtering and Intruder Alarm
It is possible to enable Intruder Alarm indication on the device. If enabled, the SNMP Trap will be
generated by the device if the unlisted MAC will arrive to the port. The Trap from the same non-
listed MAC address will be generated approximately once in 3 minutes. Trap contains the
information about the Intruder MAC address.
Port Blocking and Intruder Alarm
It is possible to enable Port Blocking Mode in case if unlisted MAC has been arrived. Upon
receiving the wrong MAC the Port will go to Down State equal to ETHSD OFF X command where
X is an interface number. The Intruder Alarm Trap and Link Down Traps will be generated in this
case.

NOTE: Port will keep the blocked Down State even after reset of the device. To restore port
operation the command ETHSD 10H/10F/100H/100F/AUTO X or WEB GUI shall be used.

3.2.2.7 IEEE 802.1x Access Control

The IEEE 802.1x protocol nowadays commonly used in LAN environment that generally was
developed as "multipoint to multipoint" media for simple and secure point-to-point authorization.
It works on MAC level and provides Authentication and Authorization for a terminal device
connected to a port of active network equipment, i.e. Ethernet Switch or Wireless Access Point.
The IEEE 802.1x protocol divides network elements into three parts:
The Supplicant
The supplicant is a client device (laptop, PC) that supports IEEE 802.1x protocol as a client. The
supplicant is connected to the Authenticator over Ethernet or wireless link.
The Authenticator
The Authenticator is a network device like Switch or Wireless Access Point which acts as an
aggregator of user traffic in a network. It is connected to the Authentication Server and acts as an
intermediate agent between supplicant and network. Orion3/MiniFlex devices operate as
Authenticator.
The Authentication Server
The Authentication Server is, for example RADIUS server. It is responsible for security policy of
the network. Upon receiving of authentication messages from the Authenticator it grants or blocks
network access for the Supplicant.
The Supplicant is connected to the Authenticator via Ethernet patch-cord or through wireless link.
In case of Orion3/MiniFlex devices the wired access is used. If it is not allowed by the
Authentication Server, the Authenticator's port the Supplicant is connected to, stays in blocking
condition and transmits only EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over LAN) frames.
These frames carry authentication and authorization messages and are encrypted. As soon as
Authentication Server grants network access to the Supplicant, the Authenticator changes the
port status, so all frames can pass through the port.

The following IEEE 802.1x parameters can be changed on Orion3/MiniFlex device:
IEEE 802.1x Enable / Disable
Enables or Disables IEEE 802.1x protocol on a LAN port
IEEE 802.1x SHOST/MHOST/MAUTH
If IEEE 802.1x is enabled on a LAN port the port may work in these three modes:
• Single-host (mode option SHOST): only one host (MAC-address) can be authenticated on
the port, others hosts will be blocked.
• Multi-host (mode option MHOST): once one host has been authenticated, port is allowed to
pass traffic from any other hosts.
• Multi-auth (mode option MAUTH): multiple hosts can be authenticated on a port, but only
authenticated hosts are allowed to pass traffic.

NOTE: As IEEE 802.1x mode conflicts with MAC Filter a LAN port may operate either in
802.1x or in MAC Filter modes or both modes must be deactivated.

As IEEE 802.1x protocol relays on RADIUS protocol and use encrypted messages the RADIUS
and SNTP clients must be configured first.

3.2.2.8 Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

The system supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) according to IEEE 801.1d 2004
recommendation. All available Ethernet ports as well as all available WAN interfaces could
participate in RSTP construction. A WAN interface could be configured to carry Ethernet data
over DSL line or over E1 interface. If several DSL links or E1 interfaces are combined into
MULTIWAN, this MWAN will participate in RSTP construction too.
The RSTP itself is a protocol used for dynamic link switching in networks with ring topology. The
ring topology improves reliability of data networks; nevertheless Ethernet networks must have
only one active path between any of two nodes to prevent packet loop. Ethernet switches with
enabled RSTP detect paths availability in a ring and quickly select active path, discarding other
paths. All RSTP-enabled devices exchange information about topology change in so-called BPDU
packets.
Root Bridge
One switch in a RSTP-enabled network must acts as Root Bridge. Root Bridge selection will be
done automatically according to Bridge ID – a unique ID that each member of RSTP network has.
Bridge ID is a combination of Switch MAC address and Bridge Priority. Switch with smallest Bridge
Priority will act as Root Bridge. If two or more switches have same priority, Switch with less MAC
address will become Root Bridge.
Port Roles
After Root Bridge has been selected, other switches define their ports role. The port that has the
shortest path to Root Bridge will become Root Port. The opposite port on the other switch will
become Designated Port. The Root Bridge has Designated Ports only, while other switches have
one Root port and could have Designated Port connected to other switches
A Root and Designated ports are active, they learn and forward packets. Other ports have
blocking state. They could act as Alternate port or as Backup port. Please take a look to a picture
below:

When a failure appears on a network, an alternative path will be selected and port roles will be
changed. Please take a look to a picture below:

3.2.2.9 RADIUS

The RADIUS (Remote Authentication in Dial-In User Service) is used to authenticate and
authorise remote devices from the single place. Unlike the local authentication and authorisation,
where USERNAME/PASSWORD/ACCESS_RIGHTS have to be created for every single unit in
the network, the RADIUS authentication and authorisation means that user credentials must be
created and stored only once on the RADIUS server. The remote RADIUS clients will connect to
the RADIUS server and request user authentication and authorisation.

35
User Manual LTU Orion 3

NOTE: RADIUS subsystem depends on Advanced Security settings. SECURE ON


command has to be enabled before activating the RADIUS service

The Orion3 modem acts as RADIUS client. It will request user authentication and authorisation
from RADIUS server if operator will access command line or WEB interface of the device.

NOTE: The current realisation of RADIUS protocol is designed for authentication and
authorisation of the device operator. It is not intended for granting or disallowing an access
from LAN ports to the network.

Orion3 RADIUS client supports one or two RADIUS servers. The following options are
configurable:
Parameter Value Description
Server IP IP Address IP address of primary and secondary RADIUS Server.
Server port 0-65535 UDP Port, the RADIUS server is listen on for incoming
connections. Default port is 1812.
Shared key String (64 A passphrase. It must be the same for RADIUS server and all
symbols) clients. If two RADIUS servers are used, the passphrase can
be unique for each server.
Retries 0-10 Number of retries, the client will use to authenticate the user on
both RADIUS servers. 0 means no attempts. Default value is 2.
Timeout, seconds 1-5 Time interval between authentication attempts. Default value is
2 seconds.
The authentication and authorisation process has the following scenario: as soon as operator
opens console session through Telnet, SSH or Serial interface, or if he opens WEB session and
connects to the HTTP server of the device, the LOGIN prompt appears. Operator enters the
USERNAME/PASSWORD pair and the RADIUS client (modem) sends authentication request to
the first RADIUS server. If the USERNAME/PASSWORD pair match the server database, the
operator will be authorized and access to CLI or WEB interface will be granted. If either
USERNAME/PASSWORD pair, or shared key doesn't match the server database record, the
access will be disallowed. Operator has 3 attempts per session to authenticate himself.
If first RADIUS server didn't reply during a defined timeout, the build-in modem RADIUS client
tries to authenticate the user at the second RADIUS server. If the second server didn't reply, the
client tries the first server again. This sequence keeps running until the number of retries counter
expires. The number of retries is user defined.
If the whole authentication sequence fails, the build-in modem RADIUS client tries to authenticate
and authorise the operator using the local user record.

NOTE: It is not possible to authenticate user with local user record, if at least one RADIUS
server is running and accessible from the build-in client.

3.2.2.9.1 RADIUS Server Setup with Defined Vendor Specific Attributes


As an example we will configure freeradius server running on Linux Debian/Ubuntu platform.
Server will use Vendor Specific Attributes field during message exchange.
Freeradius server can store its configuration in SQL database or in plain text files. We will select
second way because of simplicity.
Vendor configuration. File dictionary.flexdsl
First of all we need to tell freeradius server to use Vendor Specific Attribute for the access to
FlexDSL equipment. We need to create the following text file:
File is located at /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.flexdsl

#
#
# Radius settings for FlexDSL units
#
#
VENDOR FlexDSL 4249

BEGIN-VENDOR FlexDSL
ATTRIBUTE FlexDSL-Rights 0 string
END-VENDOR FlexDSL

As a second step we need to connect newly created Vendor Specific file to the freeradius
dictionary file:
File is located at /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary
String to add:
$INCLUDE dictionary.flexdsl

If Vendor Specific Attributes are used, the server will send the message containing two fields:
<Vendor-Specific> <4249 0 ACCESS_RIGHTS_STRING>. Here 4249 is Vendor ID of FlexDSL
Telecommunications AG. ACCESS_RIGHTS_STRING contains the user privileges.
Client configuration. File clients.conf.

3.2.2.9.2 Simplified RADIUS Server Setup


Alternatively we can setup the freeradius server without Vendor Specific dictionary file and declare
Vendor-Specific field in user configuration file instead

3.2.2.9.4 Configuring User Access Rights


The <Vendor-Specific> or <FlexDSL-Rights> or <Service-Type> field in RADIUS configuration
tells the client what access rights the user has. It is possible to grant or discard access to various
commands and menu items of the modem device. All commands of the CLI are divided into 3
levels. Selection of upper level means that the commands from low levels will be selected too.
Some commands are available for every user, they can’t be revoked.

3.2.2.10 LLDP

LLDP is an abbreviation of Link layer discovery protocol defined in IEEE 802.1AB. The LLDP
protocol is used by network devices to identify themselves and to advertise their capabilities to
their peers over IEEE 802 (Ethernet) networks or over WAN (MWAN) channels formed via
DSL/E1 links. LLDP protocol is vendor neutral, so various devices can interoperate and introduce
their capabilities to remote peers even if they were produced by other vendors. The LLDP
implementation in FlexDSL Orion3 / MiniFlex devices can read and display the following
parameters received from remote peer:

Parameter Value Description


Chassis ID String Manually assigned chassis ID or an chassis MAC address
Port ID String Remote port ID
TTL Timer Time To Live Value in seconds shows the validity of remote
system information
Port Description String Manually assigned port description
System Description String Manually assigned system description
System Capabilities: Digit Capabilities of remote system (Bridge, Router, Phone, etc.)
Management address: IP Address Management IP address of remote system
Management VID: VLAN ID A VLAN ID assigned for management port
Maximal Frame Size Digit Maximal size of frame in bytes the remote system can accept
MED capabilities Array Shows if the remote peer is Endpoint or Network Connectivity
Device and its Media Endpoint Device capabilities

3.2.3 An Integrated Switch of 64-kbit/s Time Slots

3.2.3.1 E1 Transmission Mode (only E1 Time Slots)

In this mode, only time slots of E1 data streams are transmitted over SHDSL lines according to
ITU-T Rec. G.991.2.
Time slots of E1 data streams Total number of transmitted Minimal required SHDSL data
(first E1 / second E1) time slots rate transmitting this number of
time slots (kbit/s)
0,1,16 / 0,1,2,3 7 456
0,1,2,3,31 / none 5 328
0-29,31 / none 31 1992
0-31 / 0-31 64 4104

Table 3.10 Comparison of SHDSL data rate and number of possible time slots of one E1 stream

3.2.3.2 E1, Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 and Ethernet Simultaneous Transmission Mode

The system supports simultaneous transmission of E1 time slots, Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 data and
Ethernet data (from the ports WAN1, WAN2, WAN3, WAN4, and the internal Ethernet switch) into
an SHDSL line. This mode means time slot multiplexing from E1, Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 and
Ethernet network interface into the SHDSL line. The distribution of SHDSL time slots is performed
as follows:
• time slots of the first E1, chosen for transmission in the SHDSL line interface in the
ascending order, are transmitted in time slots from 0 to m1-1
• time slots of the second E1, chosen for transmission in the SHDSL line interface in the
ascending order, are transmitted in time slots from m1 to m1+m2-1
• Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 data is transmitted in time slots from m1+m2 to m1+m2+m3-1
• Ethernet data is transmitted in time slots from m1+m2+m3 to n-1
Here
• n is the total number of transmitted SHDSL time slots
• m1 is the number of time slots from the first E1 selected for transmission into SHDSL
• m2 is the number of time slots from the second E1 selected for transmission into SHDSL
• m3 is the numer of time slots required for Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 data
Note: A part of time slots of an E1 interface can be used to transmit data from the WAN2 port of
the internal Ethernet switch.

Figure 3.17. Test loops

Test loops can be activated for the Master and Slave devices as well as for the Regenerator.
The LOOP1 ON/OFF N command is used to activate/deactivate LOOP1, where N is the number
of the network interface.
LOOP2 M:N, where M is the number of the line interface and N is the number of the Regenerator,
can be activated only remotely. This command allows activating remotely a loop back to the
device, from which the command was sent. It means that if LOOP2 is activated remotely by the
Master device, the data will be looped back by the Slave device to the Master device side, and
vice versa.

User Manual LTU Orion 3

WARNING
WHEN ACTIVATING LOOP2 UNDER CONDITIONS THAT SHDSL IS USED
TO TRANSMIT ETHERNET DATA, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE DEVICE
IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ETHERNET NETWORK!

3.2.4.1 Analogue Loop back

During the analogue loop back test, the SHDSL transceiver receives the transmitted signal from
its own transmitter. The analogue loop back function (the STARTAL command is used to activate
the analogue loop back) is used to test the equipment itself.
The analogue loop back causes a non-urgent alarm of the local unit and an urgent alarm of the
remote unit.

WARNING
TO PERFORM THE ANALOG LOOPBACK, THE CABLE SHOULD BE
DISCONNECTED FROM THE UNIT!

3.2.4.2 Performance Monitoring

The transmission performance of a link can be monitored in two different ways. The signal quality
is typically used during installation and maintenance procedures, whereas the G.826 error
performance parameters are used for long term evaluation of operating links and during
acceptance testing.
The Noise Margin (NM) provides qualitative performance information of a specific link. The NM
command is used to activate this test. This parameter is calculated according to ITU-T G.991.2
and is an efficient tool for determining the qualitative performance of an SHDSL link.
During acceptance testing, it is recommended to set the line rate or choose cable pairs (at a fixed
line rate) so that the NM value is no less that 6 dB.
An NM of 0dB in the presence of a Gaussian noise would yield an expected Bit-Error-Ratio
of 10-7.

3.2.4.3 G.826 Performance Monitoring

The error performance monitoring of a SHDSL link is performed according to ITU-T Rec. G.704.
The evaluation of the G.826 error performance parameters is based on CRC (Cyclic Redundancy
Check) error detection. CRC generation and detection are performed separately for the E1
interfaces and SHDSL interfaces.

On the E1 side, four CRC4 check bits are generated per sub-multiframe (SMF) and compared
with the corresponding bits of the next SMF. If they do not match, the CRC4 error counter is
incremented.
On the SHDSL side, six CRC6 check bits are generated per SHDSL frame. CRC6 errors are used
by the software to count the block errors of the SHDSL channel and to evaluate its error
performance according to ITU-T Rec. G.826.
For the E1 interface, calculations according to G.826 are only possible in the framed mode
according to G.704 with the CRC4 option enabled. In the framed mode with the CRC4 option
disabled, only FAS errors are detected.
The estimation of a bit error rate is not within the scope of G.826 calculations.

Orion3 devices have integrated management and diagnostic functionality. The access to this
functionality is done by:
• Connecting the local craft terminal (LCT) or MONITOR interface (RS-232 interface) to any
management terminal (PC with VT100 terminal, for example the application Hyper-
Terminal).
• Connecting the local Ethernet interface to any management terminal (PC with Ethernet
network card). In this case you access with a Telnet session or you use the WEB interface
to display some statistics. Also the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is
integrated.
The management and diagnostic functionality is used to configure the devices and to receive
additional information like G.826 parameters or any G.SHDSL link quality.

3.4.1 Management by Local Craft Terminal or MONITOR Interface (RS-232 Interface)

Orion3 LTU devices have at the backplane connector a TTL-voltage-level management bus that
is organized according to the point-multipoint scheme. If the LTU is inserted in any subrack (with
ACU/TCU), minirack or UTTx, these housings convert the TTL signals to a usual standard based
RS-232 interface. The corresponding connector can be found either on the front or the rear panel
of the devices.

To access the unit in any housing, you have to choose the slot number in which the unit is
connected:
• subrack has slot numbers 1..14
• UTT4 has slot number 1..4
• minirack and UTT1 have slot number 1

To select the necessary device, you have to type <%SN>, where SN is the slot number.
For example to access the unit mounted in slot 3 type: %03
The unit in any housing displays the slot number after entering the ECHO command
After typing <ECHO>, the operator will receive a response from the LTU devices:
ECHO
01 02 08 10 11 12

3.4.2 Management by Ethernet Interface

3.4.2.1 Telnet

The TELNET (TELecommunication NETwork) access is made through the Ethernet network. With
any computer and a program with the Telnet protocol Orion3 devices (they always have an
Ethernet interface) can be fully managed. After opening the Telnet session, there is a user
authentication: “admin” users, who can change configurations and “user” users who can only view
parameters and statistics. Initially passwords are empty. In this case the authentication is not
performed and users automatically have the administrator rights. Only “admin” users can set
passwords for both types of users. If authentication is successful, the modem main menu is
displayed. If authentication fails, it can be repeated up to three times, and after it the connection
breaks.
Example: The management through a Telnet session can be activated by a standard command
on any Windows computer: telnet <IP-address>
If no symbols are received by the modem over the telnet connection within 5 minutes, this session
breaks. And with correct configuration, every DSL modem with an IP address can be reached; it
does not matter if near end, far end or repeater.

At any time (except for the moment when the password is entered in the Telnet session) Orion3
subrack devices (LTU) can choose the command <%NNN> to manage other devices (NNN are
digits and symbols of the Latin alphabet in the range from 0 to 80). This command is used to
configure Orion3 subrack devices as well as other devices connected to the same MONITOR bus
(installed in the same subrack). To clear the screen and to establish a connection to the
MONITOR bus, the <%1> command is used. This command sends the “ECHO command”.
First the MONITOR bus is checked whether it is occupied by another device (for example by the
second Orion3 modem). If the bus is busy by another device, the following message is displayed:
“ERROR: Console is busy.” If this message is not displayed, enter the next command % to choose
the device. To clear the screen and to connect the device to the MONITOR bus and then to
configure the unit, which is in this subrack, enter the command <%1XXXX>.In this case, the
<?%XXXX> command is sent to the Monitor bus (symbols “?” are necessary to complete the
command, which probably was already entered over the MONITOR bus). Here, xxxx are digits or
letters with the length of up to 79 symbols. (The modem does not check the correctness of xxxx).
While configuring any device connected to the MONITOR bus, enter the % command to return
to the device management for which the Telnet session is open.

3.4.2.2 WEB

The WEB interface is used to display statistics and do configuration when the SHDSL line cards
are connected to the management computer via any Ethernet interface. Any WEB browser can
be used to access the WEB interface. To display the statistics you should enter the command:
http://X.X.X.X or https://X.X.X.X in the WEB browser. (X.X.X.X is the IP-address of the modem).
After the connection is established, the active window of the WEB browser displays the following
alarms and statistics (there are several pages available):

Figure 3.21 WEB interface – “Orion3 Alarms”

If you chose the configuration menu you have some tabs for the configuration. Please check
under the command description if you need some explanation about any setting. If you have
changed the configuration you have to press the “Save” button. The configuration gets active after
pressing the “Apply All” button and if you like to have the configuration stored you have to press

3.4.2.3 SNMP

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to monitor the status and to manage
network devices. Unlike other management protocols such as Telnet, SSH and HTTP, the SNMP
protocol not only allows an operator to manage the unit, but also informs him about the changes
in the device status when management session was inactive.
The SNMP protocol has a client-server background. The modems act as SNMP-Agents, they
communicate with the SNMP-Server that is actually a software and available free or commercially
from various vendors for different platforms. The FlexView Network Management System (NMS)
from FlexDSL Telecommunications AG is available too.

Figure 3.25 The structure of SNMP-based NMS.

The NMS Server authenticates local and remote Management Consoles, interact with other NMS
Servers, sends and receives SNMP messages and stores various databases including the MIB
database. The Management Information Base (MIB) is a plain text file that has to be imported into
the SNMP Server for the purpose of translation the Object Identification (OID) numbers and their
content to the human readable format. For example, it is requested to check the status of LAN
port. The network administrator can check the SNMP variable with the OID 1.3.6.1.2.2.1.2.2.1.8
path, or, if using MIB file, the same variable can be reachable at the RFC1213-MIB|ifOperStatus
address. Its content can be "2" in the first example, or "down" if MIB file is used.
The following MIB files are supported:
• MIB II RFC1213-MIB, a standard MIB for all devices is fully supported
• IF-MIB, RFC-2863, MIB descriptions of interfaces is fully supported
• NATEKS-MIB, MIB for the Nateks/FlexDSL equipment is fully supported
• DS1-MIB, RFC-2495, MIB describing E1 streams is partially supported
• RMON-MIB, RFC-2819 remote monitoring for statistics is fully supported
• RS-232-MIB, RFC-1659 for serial interfaces is partially supported
• BRIDGE-MIB, RFC-4188, a standard MIB for Ethernet Bridges is fully supported
• Q-BRIDGE-MIB, RFC-4363, an extended MIB for Ethernet Bridges is partially supported
• RSTP-MIB, RFC-4318, an extended MIB for RSTP protocol is fully supported
• RFC-4133 Entity-MIB partially supported

54
User Manual LTU Orion 3
Local and Remote Management Console are intended for the graphical representation of network
map, device icons and device views. It accepts the user actions such as mouse clicks, zooming,
key pressings, etc. The Management Console interacts with the SNMP Server via the Remote
Procedure Call (RPC) data in TCP/IP envelope. The Management Console can coexist with the
SNMP-Server on the same PC or work on a separate computer.
Network Elements are copper and fiber modems, converters and other network devices. Network
Elements support the following versions of SNMP protocol:
• V1, is initial version of SNMP protocol
• V2c, is the updated version of SNMP protocol featured bulk requests and long counters
• V3, is the latest version featured authentication and message encryption. Two users are
actually supported.
Depending on the SNMP protocol version, the following SNMP messages are supported:
• for the SNMP V1: GET, GET NEXT, SET, TRAP
• for the SNMP V2c: GET, GET NEXT, GET BULK, SET, TRAP
• for the SNMP V3: READ, WRITE, TRAP
GET and READ messages initialized by the SNMP Server and intended for getting information
from the Network Element.
SET or WRITE message initialized by the SNMP Server and intended for changing the SNMP
variable of the Network Element.
TRAP messages initiated by the Network Element. These messages carry information about
status change of the Network Element. For example, if port goes Down or Up, if the device have
been restarted, or if the alarm appeared, the TRAP message will be send to the direction of the
SNMP Server. Two destinations are supported for TRAP messages.
The following TRAP messages are supported:
• cold Start (RFC-1215)
• authentication Failure (RFC-1215)
• linkUp (RFC-1213-MIB, IF-MIB)
• linkDown (RFC-1213-MIB, IF-MIB)
• dsx1LineStatusChange (DS1-MIB)
• device specific traps (nateks.mib)
• newRoot and topologyChange (RFC-4188, BRIDGE-MIB)
• RMON Event (RMON-MIB)

Figure 3.26 Message exchange in SNMP-based networks.

NOTE: The NMS Server is not involved into the message exchange for management
protocols such as Telnet, SSH and HTTP. These sessions are initiated between
Management Console and Network Element directly.

Figure 3.27 SNMP– “Alarm statistics”, “Information about the device”, “G.826 statistics”

3.4.2.4 SSH

The SSH (Secure SHell) protocol is used to access Orion3 devices over IP networks. Unlike
Telnet, the SSH packets are encrypted with a key and can't be read if intercepted by an intruder.
Therefore User data such as login and password credentials can be safely transmitted over public
networks.
The Orion3 modem acts as SSH server. It listens default TCP Port 22 for incoming connections
from remote clients and initialises Login/Password sequence if connection appears. Default Port
22 can be changed for the security reasons.
User will have an access to the CLI after successful login.
The SSH client is a software for PC. We suggest to use PuTTY for the Microsoft (c) Windows and
build-in ssh client for Linux/Unix/MACOS X systems.

NOTE: On Linux/UNIX/MACOS X systems run ssh command with -l parameter to specify


the device login name if it is differs from the name of a user who initialise the SSH session.

4.2 Orion3 Software

Every Orion3 device stores up to two software versions in the memory (EEPROM): one
unchangeable software (standby software No.1) and one upgradeable software (software No.2).
Two versions are necessary to prevent any device failure due to downloading of faulty or
damaged software or due to hardware failure during downloading of the new software.
During downloading, the new software overwrites the upgradeable software. If the new software
downloading via X-modem is successful, a message appears that the modem should be restarted
to start operating under the new software. After the restart, i.e., when the new version of the
upgraded software is started for the first time, the operator should confirm the downloaded
software. After confirmation, this software becomes unchangeable. If downloading was
interrupted or there was a failure in the data transmission, a message is displayed. In this case,
if the data has already been partially downloaded into the modem and the upgradeable software
is damaged, the unchangeable software will be used to start the modem (please repeat the
downloading of the software).
By default, the upgradeable software is the basic one, if it was confirmed. If the upgradeable
software was not confirmed after the first start or it was damaged (invalid data format, incorrect
checksum), the standby software is loaded.

4.3 Configuration and Application Storage

The whole the system stores four configurations: running configuration, startup configuration, new
configuration and backup configuration.
The running configuration contains all configuration values guarantee the current operation of
the device. If two modems have the same version of the software and the same running
configuration they should operate equally. The running configuration is stored in the RAM of the
device. The current parameters determine the operation until the next restart or any actions on
the running configuration (storage and etc.). During initialization the initial parameters of the
running configuration are loaded from the startup configuration.
The startup configuration contains all configuration values which will be used to configure the
device after its restart. The startup configuration is stored in EEPROM and is used to initialize the
running configuration during the system start-up.
The new configuration stores changes in configuration parameters combined into groups of
parameters that require a confirmation of changes (i.e., this configuration stores setting, which
should be confirmed after being changed, for example, IP-address of the device). The new
configuration is stored in the device RAM. After setting all necessary changes from the group, the
system administrator confirms changes in the group, and values belonging to this group are
written from the new configuration into the running one. In this case, the simultaneous application
of all setting in the group is guaranteed.
The backup configuration is a backup of the current configuration. The backup configuration is
stored in the EEPROM. During the configuration restoration, values from the backup configuration
are copied to the startup configuration.
All configuration parameters are divided into three groups according to their application:
• configuration parameters applied after the restart
• configuration parameters applied instantly
• configuration parameters requiring a confirmation
Configuration changes, which are used after the restart, are written into the startup configuration,
but before doing the restart the device continues working according to its “old” configuration.
During the device restart, the values of these configurations are copied from the startup
configuration into the running one and thus become valid.

Changes in configurations, which are part of a group of configurations that require a confirmation,
are initially written into the new configuration. After the administrator confirms changes in the
group of configurations, this group is copied from the new configuration into the running
configuration and the device starts working according to these configurations. The administrator
also can confirm changes in all groups. After the received running configuration is checked, the
administrator can confirm this configuration. In this case, changes in all groups are copied from
the running configuration into the startup configuration.

4.4 Groups of Commands Requiring Confirmation

In Orion3 devices the following four groups of parameters require a confirmation: LINE, NET,
VLAN and SNMP. Changing configurations of each group use some special commands. The
APPLY <name of the group> command is used to apply changes in configurations performed in
a group. After this, the unit applies changes in configurations. If groups LINE, NET, VLAN were
changed not in the local management session via the RS-232 interface but via Telnet the
management session breaks and the unit waits for the second connection within 5 minutes (for
the LINE group – 30 minutes). If the LINE group was changed remotely (using the CONNECT
command), the unit waits for the second connection within 30 minutes. If within this time the
operator did not enter the modem menu, the changed parameters are read from the startup
configuration of the unit. Therefore, it is possible to restore the configurations of the unit. A
“successful” configuration can become the startup configuration by using the CONFIRM
command.

4.5 Command Syntax

The following rules are used to describe commands:


• parameters in angular brackets < > are obligatory
• parameters in direct brackets [ ] are not obligatory
• the symbol ( / ) between parameters requires to enter one of the listed parameters
• in real commands brackets and vertical line are not entered, they are used for description

4.6.2 General Commands

4.6.2.1 <H> Command

After the <H> command is entered the device displays the help menu.

4.6.2.2 <APPLY [ALL/GROUP]> Command

This command is used to apply changes in all groups or to apply changes in one of these groups:
LINE, VLAN, NET, and SNMP. As a result, changed in the group are written from the new
configuration into the running one. Examples:
CO_FMM>APPLY
Applying all configuration changes to running configuration

CO_01_PM>APPLY LINE
Applying configuration changes in group LINE to running configuration

4.6.2.3 <CONNECT N:1..13/R> Command

The <CONNECT N:1..13/R> commands initialize the management of the remote device. The
parameter N sets the number of the SHDSL channel, over which the connection is initialized. In
single-channel systems the parameter N can be absent.
Notes: 1. The <CONNECT R> command in the Slave mode is only available if the Master
device can be configured locally at this instant.
2. The <CONNECT N> (N=1..13) command initializes the management of the remote
regenerator. The <CONNECT N> command is only available in the Master mode.
3. This command is not provisioned for regenerators.
4. If the channel of remote management is blocked (for example, a message or a
table are not displayed completely), press Enter.

4.6.2.4 <LINK [SN/00/FE]> Command

The < LINK [SN/00/FE]> command establishes connection to specified unit over the backplane.
• SN - Specifies the slot number of a subrack unit to connect with. If the backplane is busy or if
the specified subrack slot is free (or no response in 1.5 first seconds) the "LINK ERROR"
message will be issued by the unit. For subrack units SN should not be 00.
• 00 - (double zero) Switches on the Monitor (Local Craft Terminal) connector control mode for
Minirack and standalone units. In this mode all typed characters will be translated to the
Monitor connector.
• FE - (for ever) Switches on Monitor connector control mode for common CLI RS232 units. In
this mode all typed characters will be translated to Monitor connector. The connection will be
established until a terminal timeout appears.
Example:
• LINK 10 - Establish connection to subrack unit with slot number 10.
• LINK 00 - Establish monitor control node.
• LINK FE - Establish monitor control node.
Notes: To refuse link connection just exit from controllable unit.
To refuse link connection urgently use CTRL+Z keystroke.

4.6.4.27 <POWER DIAG> Command

This command shows the diagnostic information for the remote power. It shows each remote
power source configuration, voltage, whether it is turned ON in configuration or actually now. It
also shows detailed remote power alarms and leakage current. The alarms are:
• CUR - remote power CURrrent limit is exceeded.
• DCL - 'DC leakage' current value is beyond normal limits (300uA max).
• ACL - 'AC leakage' current value is beyond normal limits (700uA rms max).
• ACM - 'AC Mains'-leakage current with industrial frequency value (50Hz, 60Hz, 16.67Hz) is
present and is above 500uA rms.
Leakage currents are measured on a per-remote power supply basis, so for 2x120VDC mode it
may be required to unplug one DSL channel to find the channel with leakage current or source of
industrial noise.
The DC leakage alarm is the sign that somewhere the wire line insulation is broken and there is
conducting path between the wire and ground or any other potential. The AC leakage and

82
User Manual LTU Orion 3
especially the AC Mains alarm indicates that there is some longitudinal AC noise, probably from
industrial facility, train passing by, bad grounding or direct power contacting.
To track down the AC noise source and frequency, press '1' to show spectrum analysis of the
common-mode noise. Further on, from the screen displayed, detailed analysis in 5 different bands
from 0-85Hz to 0-12800Hz can be called.
Please, note that DC leakage values can be offset from 0-point by up to 150uA even with DSL
line plugged off. This is normal error offset specific to the unit and should not be taken into
account.

After typing “3” in the main menu and pressing <enter>, the following message is displayed:
Configuration management activated
Enter 'M' to return to MAIN, or 'H' for HELP information

CO_01_CM>

The content of the configuration management menu mainly depends on the operation mode of
the device. There are four possible modes of the device operation:
CO – All channels are in the Master mode, manual configuration.
CP – All channels are in the Slave mode, manual configuration.
CX – Some Channels are in Master, some channels are in Slave mode, manual configuration.
CA - Configuration of E1 and WAN streams is received from the SHDSL line, automatic config.
In the CA mode, it is impossible to configure the channel reservation, to arbitrarily assign E1
streams to DSL channels and to arbitrarily set clock sources. Nevertheless, this mode satisfies
90% of users, because it does not require many efforts to configure the device.

WARNING
FOR LOW BASERATES YOU SHOULD USE THE LOWEST POSSIBLE
NUMBER OF CODE LEVELS. FOR A STANDARD BASED DEVICE USE
PAM16 AND NOT PAM32.

On the Slave device, the <BASERATE AUTO> command adapts the rate of the Slave device to
the rate of the Master device. In this case, PAM and Annex are automatically detected (opposite
Annex in the <CONFIG> configuration AB appears, opposite PAM is Auto). The command does
not change the Annex and PAM modes in the configuration. In the Slave mode, the <BASERATE
AUTO> command automatically detects all configurations.

4.6.5.14 <PAM [16/32] [N]> or <PAM [4-128] [N]> Command

This command sets the number of levels in the line code. The following options are possible –

4.6.5.16 <ANNEX A/B/AB [N=1..4]> Command

This command enables the transmission standard G.991.2 ANNEX A or ANNEX B, where N is
the number of the SHDSL interface. The ANNEX AB automatically selects the transmission
standard.
Note: If devices use different transmission standards, synchronization will not be established
between them.

4.6.5.17 <SETCLOCK list [N=1..4]> Command

This command sets the priority list of clock sources for the SHDSL channel, where N is the number
of the SHDSL channel. The parameter N can be absent for single-channel modems. The possible
clock sources are:
• External sync source: EXT, EXTERNAL
• first E1 channel: 1, E11, E1-1, E1_1
• second E1 channel: 2, E12, E1-2, E1_2
• third and fourth E1 channel
• Nx64 interface: V35
• internal sync source: INT, INTERNAL
• first and second G.703/E0 interface: G703, G7031, G7032, G703-1, G703-2
The external clock source should be either the first one in the priority list or be not used at all. The
next clock sources in the list should be E1 channels and/or Nx64 interface and/or G.703/E0
channels. The internal clock source should be the last one in the priority list. It is even not
necessary to type it in the command.
Two rules: The list of priority clock sources should contain only those E1, Nx64 or E0 channels,
which are used to transmit data over the SHDSL channel. If the SHDSL channel does not transmit
any E1, Nx64 or E0 stream, it is possible to set any of these channel as a reference clock source
or to use the external clock.
Note: If the list of the E1, Nx64 or E0 channels transmitted over DSL is changed by the
PAYLOAD command, it can change the list so that it corresponds to the previous two
criteria.

RSIP RTS [CTS/DCD] [IF]
RSIP BREAK [ON/OFF] [IF]
[I/O]: Defines which parameter to configure. Input (IN: local IP port that receive serial data
packets) or Output (OUT: remote IP address to forward serial data packets).
[addr]: IP port or IP address and port. For Input (IN) address [addr] is just a port number. For
Output (OUT) address [addr] is an IP address and port number, separated by a colon (:). For TCP
Server mode only an IP address should be specified. The port number should be in range from
1024 to 65535 inclusively. Port numbers below 1024 may be used as well as port numbers above
1024, but may conflict with another built-in services like SNMP or NTP. It's not recommended to
use ports below 1024.
{mode}: Selects the IP protocol and mode. Possible values are: UDP (use UDP protocol),
SERVER (work as TCP Server), CLIENT (work as TCP Client).
[ON/OFF]: Enables/Disables RS<->IP function
{sign}: Define the RTS/CTS signals operation mode and is only for RS-232 available. Possible
values are: OFF (CTS & RTS signals are not used), LOCAL (TCP: When UP local RTS is looped
to CTS), UDP (RTS is always looped to CTS), REMOTE (CTS input is transferred to the remote
RTS output and vice versa). If communication is not established RTS is low. This mode works
over both TCP and UDP protocols and should be enabled on both ends of connection
simultaneously.
[IF]: Selects corresponding serial RS interface. Possible values are RS1 (for first RS interface).
This parameter may be ommited when only one RS232/422/485 interface is available.
[RTS] Selects input/output pair for signalling. In normal conditions the RTS will trigger CTS and

4.6.5.55 <RSTP [A..E] [ON/OFF]> Command

RSTP system creates separate instance for each PBVLAN. Every instance will work only with
ports included in specific PBVLAN. It means that up to 5 RSTP instances could be created on a
device.
RSTP [A . . E] [ON/OFF] Command enables/disables RSTP for specific PBVLAN.

4.6.5.56 <RSTP [A..E] PRIO [value]> Command

This command allows to setup custom bridge priority for RSTP instance working at specific
PBVLAN. This value represents priority and settable part of bridge id (802.1D - 2004, 9.2.5).
Smaller value denotes better priority. This option allows Root bridge selection for network and it's
replacements in case of faults. Available interval is from 0 to 65535 inclusively. It is recommended
to use values from 0 to 61440 while each value should be multiple of 4096.
Default RSTP bridge priority is 32768.

4.6.5.57 <RSTP [A..E] VLAN [1..8]> Command

This command allows selection of a VLAN that will be used for RSTP service data transmission
(BPDU) for RSTP instance working at specific PBVLAN. Please note that RSTP will relay on
network topology covered by selected VLAN, that’s why a VLAN that covers all network should
be selected. Default VLAN is 1.

111
User Manual LTU Orion 3
4.6.5.58 <RSTP [A..E] HELLO [2..10]> Command

This command selects time interval between two consecutive RSTP service messages in
seconds. It means that BPDU packets will be send every HELLO time. Default value is 2 seconds.

4.6.5.59 <RSTP [IFACE] FWD [4..30]> Command

This command defines forwarding delay in seconds. Depending on the port role: Edge or Not-
edge, designated port changes its status according to the following sequence:

For Non-edge ports, i.e. for ports connected to other RSTP-enabled devices:
• Discarding - port discards incoming traffic
o Forwarding Delay (in seconds)
• Learning - port learns information about peer (MAC, RSTP priority, etc.)
o Forwarding Delay (in seconds)
• Forwarding - port forwards traffic

Forwarding Delay implies delay between port status change in sequence. Device will be ensured
that the link is valid and stable before enabling traffic forwarding on a port.

For Edge ports, i.e. for ports connected to PCs, servers and other terminal devices that don’t
support RSTP:
• Discarding - port discards incoming traffic
• Forwarding - port forwards traffic

Edge ports must be switched very fast to prevent traffic lost. Forwarding Delay is not applicable
in this mode. Port switches its state from Discarding to Forwarding state without Learning phase.

User Manual LTU Orion 3
4.6.5.60 <RSTP [IFACE] MA [6..40]

This parameter sets Maximum Age parameter. According to the IEEE 802.1D:2004 standard the
Maximum Age parameter declares the node number in the chain, that will discard the BPDU
packet that root-bridge sends. Every node in the chain will compare “Age” value in BPDU and will
drop the packet if its “Age” will be greater than Maximum Age.

4.6.5.61 <RSTP [IFACE] PRIO [0..240]> Command

This command selects interface priority. The value should be multiple by 16. The port priority
intended to resolve situation when several interfaces have the same root path cost. The port with
lowest port priority will be selected then. Available interfaces are:
• LAN1 – LAN5
• WAN 1, 2, 3, 4
• MWAN 1, 2
113
User Manual LTU Orion 3
4.6.5.62 <RSTP [IFACE] PCOST [AUTO/1..200000000]> Command

This command allows automatic path cost selection or allows manual settings. In automatic mode
the value depends on the bit rate. The higher bit rate the lower path cost is. The port with lower
path cost will be selected as root port. Available interfaces are:
• LAN1 – LAN5
• WAN 1, 2, 3, 4
• MWAN 1, 2

4.6.5.63 <RSTP [IFACE] EDGE [ON/OFF]> Command

This command configures how the unit will treat with the “Edge” attribute of an interface. Edge
attribute tells the port how to trigger its states from Discarding to Forwarding phases. The general
rule is:
• If port connected to the Spanning Tree network, it is “Non-Edge” and it changes its state
slow, going through Learning phase.
• If port connected to terminal devices (PCs, Servers), it is “Edge” and it changes its status
fast, escaping the Learning phase.

<RSTP [IFACE] EDGE OFF> command means that the port will never become “Edge”. It will
change all its phases and always will send RSTP BPDUs in egress direction.

<RSTP [IFACE] EDGE ON> command tells the interface to set the “Edge” attribute automatically.
Port will keep its “Edge” status and will change its status fast until it will receive first BPDU

Default settings is EDGE = ON. It is recommended to keep default value.

Available interfaces are:


• LAN1 – LAN5
• WAN 1, 2, 3, 4
• MWAN 1, 2

User Manual LTU Orion 3
PBVLANs are used as a way to isolate groups of network interfaces from each other. No frames
from interface LAN2 connected to PBVLAN A will ever be forwarded to interface INT, which is
connected to PBVLAN E. And vice versa.
Each PBVLAN is a separate switching fabric. As there are 5 PBVLAN and no more than 10
network interfaces in the modem, one can connect any WAN interface to any LAN interface
exclusively, as well as create isolated LAN-LAN or LAN-INT connections. Each PBVLAN can
include from none to all interfaces. To populate PBVLAN with interfaces, just set the appropriate
PBVLAN letter for selected interfaces.
PBVLAN isolation works only in the limits of one modem. Outside the modem, there is no
information about the PBVLAN letter the frame had inside. This is the major difference with
VLANs, where the VLAN information is carried in the VLAN tag. So, it does not hurt if WAN1,
PBLAN A on one modem is connected to WAN1, PBVLAN C on another.
PBVLAN isolation also affects aggregation of WANs in MWAN (multi-WAN). Only WAN channels
from the same PBVLAN will aggregate with each other. For example, if WAN1 and WAN3 are in
PBVLAN A, and WAN2 and WAN4 are in PBVLAN B, and all WANs go in one direction, two
MWANs will be created each consisting of 2 WANs instead of 1 MWAN with 4 WANs.
Creating a PBVLAN with only LAN ports and one WAN port will allow the modem to eliminate
most software processing of frames, creating bridge connection and thus reducing frame
propagation delay. The same applies to the case when there are several WAN ports in the
PBVLAN, but they all go in the same direction. Assigning INT port to the PBVLAN with LAN and
WAN will turn on the internal Layer2 switch. This will, however, not be sensible in most of the
applications.
Most setups where LAN traffic separation is needed can be made with PBVLANs only or VLANs
only. In some setups PBVLANs way has benefits, in some the VLAN way. Mix of VLANs and
PBVLANs is also convenient in some applications. The user can select the approach.

4.6.5.68 <MODE [IF] [ACC/TRUNK/MIX]> Command

This command selects the 802.1Q VLAN mode for any LAN interface. Along with the full words
ACCESS, TRUNK and MIXED, also abbreviations can be used, for example A or ACC for
ACCESS, MIX or M for MIXED.
In ACCESS mode only untagged frames pass into (ingress) and out of (egress) the LANx port.
On ingress, frames are assigned to default VLAN tag with VID and QoS defined by QOS, VLAN
and VID commands. On egress, only frames with VLAN equal to the default VLAN of the port
(set with VLAN command) are allowed, and the VLAN tag is removed.
In TRUNK mode only tagged frames pass into and out of the LANx port. Frames are allowed to
pass on per-VLAN basis. VLANs allowed to pass are those selected with the ALLOW command
(any combination of VLAN1-8 and OTHER can be selected).
In MIXED mode tagged and untagged traffic is allowed on the port. However, on ingress, a default
VLAN tag (selected with QOS, VLAN and VID commands) is added to untagged frames so that
all frames in the system are actually tagged. On egress frames with VLAN equal to the default
VLAN (set with VLAN command) exit the port untagged, while to all other VLANs apply pass/block
rules are set by the ALLOW command.

4.6.5.69 <VLAN [IF] [1..8]> Command

This command sets default VLAN number for interfaces in ACCESS or MIXED mode ([IF] is LANx,
INT). Default VLAN is used to assign VLAN information for untagged traffic.
In ACCESS mode, only frames with VLAN equal to port's default VLAN are allowed to egress.
In MIXED mode, frames with VLAN equal to port's default VLAN egress untagged. Frames of al
other VLANs are blocked or are allowed to egress tagged according to rules set by ALLOW
command.
In both ACCESS and MIXED modes ingressing untagged frames are assigned to default VLAN.
117
User Manual LTU Orion 3
There are 8 separately managed VLANs in the modem. For each managed VLAN the VID (VLAN
ID) can be selected with the VID command.

4.6.5.70 <QOS [IF] [0..7]> Command

This command sets default QoS for interfaces in ACCESS or MIXED mode ([IF] is LANx, INT).
The Lowest priority is 0, the highest is 7. Default QoS is used to assign quality of service
information for ingressing untagged traffic.
The INT interface is always considered in ACCESS mode and all frames coming from the INT
interface will have default QoS assigned.

4.6.5.71 <ALLOW [IF] [VLAN list]> Command

This command selects which VLANs are allowed on interfaces in TRUNK or MIXED mode ([IF] is
LANx, WANx).
The VLAN list is a comma-separated list of allowed VLANS from 1 to 8, and the word OTHER
(allows all other VLANs except 1-8). Spaces in the list are not allowed. To allow all VLANS on the
interface, write ALL in the list.

4.6.5.72 <VID [1-8] ID> Command

The <VID [1...8] ID> command sets VID for the VLAN with the number 1..8 equal to the ID
parameter. ID=1...4094. 8 VLANs are supported by the device, and available VID numbers
assigned to the VLAN are in the range from 1 to 4094. VID as well as QoS are an attribute of the

Parameter Description
Default parameter. Only one host (MAC address) can be authenticated on
a port. If one host passed authentication, requests from other hosts will be
SHOST ignored.
If one host passed authentication other hosts allowed traffic exchange
MHOST through the port without authentication.
Multiple hosts can be authenticated on a port. Only authenticated hosts
MAUTH allow traffic exchange through the port.

4.6.5.79 <SETIP X.X.X.X> Command

The <SETIP A.B.C.D> command sets the IP-address of the modem. The parameter A, B, C and
D can take values from 0 to 255 (note that neither address of the network nor the address of the

4.6.5.85 <FC [ON/OFF] [N1-4]> Command

This command enables and disables IEEE 802.3x flow control on LAN ports.

4.6.5.86 <IRATE [speed/OFF] [N1-4]> Command

The command IRATE is an abridgement of the Ingress Rate. It limits the incoming data stream
that reaches the internal Hardware Ethernet Switch. The IRATE can be set up for every LAN port
separately.
IRATE command counts all arriving traffic without discrimination between ingress VLAN numbers
and QoS settings. It means that IRATE command should be used when the LAN port is set to
ACCESS mode, so all traffic will be processed by the internal switch with selectable VLAN and
QoS settings. If incoming traffic has bigger bandwidth then selected by IRATE command, the
excess will be dropped if Flow Control is disabled on the port, or the switch will send so called
“MAC Pause Frame” if the Flow Control is enabled.
In general it is possible to use IRATE command if LAN port is set to TRUNK or to MIXED mode.
IRATE command will limit the whole incoming bandwidth without taking into account VLAN tags
and priorities inside incoming traffic. In that case a network will work without QoS support but with
bandwidth control.
• IRATE [rate] [N]: Sets the desired rate limit.
• IRATE OFF [N]: Disable rate limiting.
The parameter [rate] is expressed in kbits or Mbits, for example:

IRATE 128K 1 - will set 128 kbps limit on LAN1


IRATE 256 2 - will set 256 kbps limit on LAN2
IRATE 1M 3 - will set 1000 kbps limit on LAN3

122
User Manual LTU Orion 3

4.6.5.87 <ERATE [speed/OFF]> Command

The command ERATE is an abridgement of Egress Rate. It limits the traffic heading to CPU of
the device.
ERATE command counts all traffic, but unlike IRATE command the QoS settings make sense for
traffic drop. In case if traffic has bigger bandwidth then the ERATE settings the device will drop
traffic starting from packets with low priority tag.
Network administrator can configure QoS with IRATE and ERATE commands if LAN ports of the
device works in ACCESS mode. He has to be sure that those LAN ports of the device have
different default QoS or VLAN settings.
• ERATE [rate]: Sets the desired rate limit.
• ERATE OFF: Disable rate limiting.
The parameter [rate] is expressed in kbits or Mbits, for example:
128K means 128 kbps
256 means 256 kbps
1M means 1000kbps
30M means 30000kbps

4.6.5.88 <CRATE [speed] [CoS] [WAN]> Command

The command CRATE is an abridgement of CoS Rate. It limits the egress bandwidth of selected
CoS queue for specified WAN interface. Starting from the 1.3.0 firmware FlexDSL Orion3 and
MiniFlex devices have 4 CoS queues with numbers from 0 to 3. The queue with “0” number has
the lowest priority while the queue with “3” number has highest priority. Command CRATE is not

123
User Manual LTU Orion 3
intended to define QoS [0…7] to CoS; or VLAN ID to CoS mapping. On the contrary, it is designed
for assigning bandwidth each CoS queue can occupy.
Only CRATE command can be used if incoming traffic has VLANs, IRATE command is useless
because the hardware Ethernet switch can’t check the QoS filed on its entry point. CRATE can
be used too if the traffic is not intended for LAN interface, for example repeater applications or
interface converter mode when traffic is transmitted between two or several WAN interfaces.
If the sum of all CRATE settings and their load is bigger than the working bandwidth of WAN or
MWAN interfaces, queues with high priority will be served firstly, while other queues will be hold
in buffer and will wait for an opportunity to be transmitted.
• CRATE [rate] [CoS:0..3] [WAN:1..4]: Sets the desired rate limit.
• CRATE OFF [CoS:0..3] [WAN:1..4]: Disable rate limiting.
Examples: CRATE 128 2 1 – Sets rate limit to 128kbps for CoS2 on WAN1.
The parameter [rate] is expressed in kbits or Mbits, for example:
128K means 128 kbps
256 means 256 kbps
1M means 1000kbps
30M means 30000kbps

4.6.5.89 <COS [QOS/VLAN] [N] [0..3/OFF]> Command

This command sets the VLAN to CoS and QoS to CoS mapping.
COS [VLAN/QOS] [V=1..8/Q=0..7] [CoS=0..3/OFF]
VLAN: Change VLAN-to-CoS mapping
QOS: Change QoS-to-CoS mapping
V: VLAN number (1..8) according to NETCONFIG table
Q: IEEE 802.1p QoS (0..7)
CoS: Resulting CoS (0..3)

4.6.5.103 <LLDP [PARAM] [VALUE]> Command

This command allows [VALUE] setup for selected LLDP parameter [PARAM]

Parameter Value Description


TXINT 5..32768 Sets Retransmission Interval in seconds
TXMULT 2..10 Sets Transmission Multiplier
REDEL 1..10 Sets Reinitialize Delay in seconds
TXDEL 1..8192 Sets Transmission Delay in seconds
NOTINT 6..3600 Sets Notification Interval in seconds
MFS 1..10 Sets MED Fast Start Counter

All LLDP configuration parameters are related with SNMP MIB. They can be set either from CLI
or WEB or via SNMP.
Retransmission Interval: The interval at which LLDP frames are transmitted on behalf of this
LLDP agent.
Transmission Multiplier: The actual time-to-live value used in LLDP frames, transmitted on
behalf of this LLDP agent, can be expressed by the following formula: TTL = min(65535,
(Retransmission_Interval * Transmission_Multiplier)). For example, if the value of
Retransmission_Interval is "30", and the value of Transmission_Multiplier is "4", then the value
"120" is encoded in the TTL field in the LLDP header.
The TTL value inside LLDP packet indicates time this packet should be stored and processed by
remote system. It will be forgotten after TTL count-back timer will be equal to "0".
Reinitialize Delay: The Reinitialize_Delay indicates the delay in seconds from when LLDP-
MIB|lldpPortConfigAdminStatus (1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.1.6.1.2) object of a particular port becomes
"disabled" until re-initialization will be attempted.
Transmission Delay: The Transmission Delay indicates the delay in seconds between
successive LLDP frame transmissions initiated by value/status changes in the local LLDP
subsystem. The recommended Transmission_Delay value is represented by the following
formula: 1 <= Transmission_Delay <= (0.25 * Retransmission_Interval).
Notification Interval: This parameter indicates how often the lldpRemTableChange notification
events should be sent.
MED Fast Start Counter: Sets the number of successive LLDP transmissions for one complete
"Fast Start" interval. The LDP-MED Fast Start Protocol Behaviour used to advertise only few
capabilities of the device designed for as fast as possible call processing after device start-up.

4.6.5.104 <LLDP [RX/TX] [ON/OFF]> Command

The <LLDP [RX/TX] [ON/OFF]> command enables or disables LLDP messages transmission and
reception.

4.6.5.105 <LLDP INT VLAN [ON/OFF]> Command

The <LLDP INT VLAN [ON/OFF]> command enables or disables LLDP messages exchange in
management VLAN only. This feature is disabled by default, so all interfaces (LAN and WAN)
participate into the LLDP table construction. It means that, in case if two units are connected
through the service-provider equipment, the border service provider switches or routers
participate in LLDP network construction. For example, the service-provider switch will "see" the
127
User Manual LTU Orion 3
customer modem and the modem will "see" the service-provider switch. Despite the fact that such
behaviour fulfils the standard, it may conflict with some network construction principles like
security. Moreover the customer will not see own remote equipment as it is not connected directly,
on the contrary through the service-provider cloud.
The <LLDP INT VLAN ON> command changes standard behaviour. If enabled, the LLDP
messages will be transmitted only in the VLAN, the management port INT is connected too. It
makes possible for the customer to "see" remote location as it is connected directly, but not
through the service-provider network.

4.6.5.107 <SNTP [1/2] [IP/OFF]> Command

The Syslog protocol should carry the real time stamp in every message. For this reason the SNTP
protocol (RFC-2030) has been implemented. The SNTP protocol uses a part of NTP protocol
features and it is compatible with SNTP or NTP servers. As soon as SNTP servers were added,
the SNTP client tries to connect with the server every 10 seconds. After successful connection,
the polling interval will become 1024 seconds
It is possible to add up to 2 SNTP servers. The SNTP command is used for that purpose.
SNTP [1/2] x.x.x.x - set 1st or 2nd IP address in x.x.x.x format.
SNTP [1/2] OFF - remove 1st or 2nd IP address

4.6.5.108 <SNTP TZ [+/-]HH:MM> Command

The SNTP servers provide UTC time. To change time zone use SNTP TZ command. Note that
SNTP protocol doesn’t check the summer/winter time offset.

Parameter Description
MONTH JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
Day when you change time.
NN Particular month day number like 5 or 30
firstDDD First week day in the month with name
DDD. DDD is three-letter abbreviation of
day name: MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN
lastDDD Last week day in the month with name DDD.
DDD>=NN A week day DDD when month day number is
DAY >= than NN.
A moment to adjust clock. Has format HH:MM[W|S|U]
HH Hour
MM Minutes
[W|S|U] Defines Type of specified time (W if
omitted)
W Time change happens according your wall
clock, taking in account time zone offset
and current season time.
S Time change happens according with
Standard time, taking in account only
time zone offset.
U UTC time. Time change happens when UTC
TIME clock shows specified time.
Amount of time we add to Standard zone time when
switch to specified season time.
Format is either HH:MM or MM.
Typical values are:
0 Local time will be UTC time + TZ
offset(selected with SNTP TZ command) + 0
This is so called Standard time.
1:00 Local time will be UTC time + TZ offset + 01:00
60 Same as above (60 minutes == 01:00)
In the summer time it is usually 60 and in the winter
OFFSET it's 0 min.
Example:

5.3 Software Download via Ethernet (1K-Xmodem and Telnet)

This method of the software downloading is similar to the “Software Downloading via the RS-232
COM Port (LCT) Using Xmodem Protocol” described in chapter 5.2. The only difference is that
instead of selecting the number of the COM port, select TCP/IP Socket. Select 23 for the port
number (TELNET). This method is the fastest one, because of the high data rate for downloading.

• It is strictly prohibited:
a) to alter, delete, remove or make illegible the serial number of the device.
b) to adapt, adjust and change the equipment in order to improve it or extend its applications
without the prior written consent of the manufacturer.
c) to alter or to adjust the equipment without the consent of the manufacturer.

6.2 Evaluation of the Digital Channel Quality and Operation Parameters

The digital channel quality is evaluated by:


• The ITU-T Rec. G.826 error performance (G826) monitoring of a SHDSL link is performed
according to ITU-T Rec. G.704, based on CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error detection.
Six CRC6 check bits are generated per SHDSL frame. CRC6 errors are used by the
software to count the block errors of the SHDSL channel.
• The Noise Margin (NM) performance monitoring.
The Noise Margin (NM) provides qualitative performance information of a specific SHDSL link
according the ITU-T Rec. G.991.2. The <NM> command is used to show the noise margin. The
recommended NM values should be no less than 6 dB. This value provides the necessary reserve
of the signal/noise margin. It is recommended to perform the Noise Margin performance
monitoring during acceptance tests and in case the system operates not stable. The test is also
used to locate any damaged cable segment.

143
User Manual LTU Orion 3
In addition, it is also recommended to monitor regularly the quality of data transmission over E1
interfaces. On the E1 side, four CRC4 check bits are generated per sub-multiframe (SMF) and
compared with the corresponding bits of the next SMF. If they do not match, the CRC4 error
counter is incremented.
The G826 command is used to display the G.826 statistics.
The correctness of operation and configurations of network interfaces can be checked by using
loop back tests (LOOP1) and G.826 statistics of E1 interfaces. If LOOP1 is activated on this
network interface and the G826 statistics displays errors, a conclusion can be made that the E1
network interface of the FlexDSL Orion3 system is configured improperly or there is a malfunction.

The idea is the following: the default settings help any device to be in an initial state, then the
MASTER/SLAVE mode is enabled on the modem, then the transmit data is configured, then the
network settings are configured (IP address, default subnet mask and default gateway) and finally,
these settings are applied and then are written in the EEPROM.
