IDSL Implementations
Configuring an IDSL connection
B-2 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
DSL requires dedicated DSL equipment at each end of the line, which bypasses
the public switched telephone network.
IDSL is a proprietary technology which enables DSL over an ISDN line, using a
Pipeline. IDSL uses the same line coding used for ISDN BRI circuits, but
provides dedicated, continuously “up” 128 Kbps service for installations within
18,000 feet of the central office (or longer distances when ISDN line repeaters
are used). IDSL services must terminate at the central office with Ascend
equipment.
IDSL uses PPP, MP, MP+ or Frame Relay to the central office. Beyond the
central office, data is transmitted over a Frame Relay backbone network.
Configuring an IDSL connection
Before configuring the Pipeline, be sure to consult with your IDSL service
provider. The specific information in the configuration must be obtained from
your service provider, and may be different from the information provided here.
The following information can be used as a guide.
First make sure the PC connected to the Pipeline has an IP address on the same
subnet as the Pipeline and that the IP address of the Pipeline is configured as the
default gateway for the PC.
To configure the Pipeline, perform the following steps:
1
From the Main Edit menu, select Configure.
2
Specify the following values:
– Switch Type=IDSL
Chan Usage=Switch/Switch
My Name=Pipeline
My Addr=n.n.n.n/n
Rem Name=idslmax
Rem Addr=n.n.n.n/n
Route=IP
