General Safety Instructions The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual. Safety Symbols This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.
Handling Energized Products General Safety Practices Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors. Caution To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords. Attention Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure. Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only.
FCC-15 User Information This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview ASMi-54 is a standalone SHDSL modem with G.SHDSL.bis and EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) technologies that provides up to 22.8 Mbps of bandwidth. ASMi-54 is a dedicated managed SHDSL modem that supports multiple data rates and operates in full duplex mode over 2-wire, 4-wire, or 8-wire lines. ASMi-54 uses TC-PAM 16 or TC-PAM 32 line coding SHDSL technology to transmit up to 5.7 Mbps of bandwidth, point-to-point, over each copper pair with EFM bonding.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Applications Figure 1-1 shows a typical application that includes point-to-point Ethernet services. Figure 1-1. ASMi-54 (ETH) vs. ASMi-54 (ETH) Main Features Ethernet Interfaces ASMi-54 provides one or four half/full duplex, 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports, with flow control and autonegotiation support. All ports are used for user traffic.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction WAN Protocol ASMi-54 supports EFM. PCS and PME ASMi-54 follows EFM naming conventions: • DSL pairs are called PME (Physical Medium Entity) • A group of pairs (up to four in ASMi-54) is called PCS (Physical Coding Sublayer). The total bandwidth of the PCS port (the WAN direction) equals the sum of the bandwidths of its underlying PME lines.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Access to the ASMi-54 software can be limited to the ASCII terminal and ConfiguRAD management by disabling the Telnet access. The following functions are supported by the internal management software: • Local terminal, Telnet server, SNMP (V1), WEB server (ConfiguRAD) ConfiguRAD is RAD’s Web-based element management system for remote device configuration and maintenance.
Installation and Operation Manual 1.2 Chapter 1 Introduction Physical Description ASMi-54 is a 1U high standalone device in a plastic or metal enclosure. Figure 1-2 shows a three-dimensional view of the ASMi-54 unit with Ethernet and SHDSL interfaces. The front and rear panels are shown in Chapter 3. Figure 1-2. ASMi-54 Front View (Plastic Enclosure) The LEDs are located on the front panel. The interfaces and connectors are located on the rear panel. For more information, see Chapter 2.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Ethernet Access (Bridge) ASMi-54 has a multi-port bridging capability handling up to six bridge ports. The Bridge supports two modes of operation: • VLAN-Aware • VLAN-Unaware.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Enable: Performs ingress filtering according to VIDs. Only frames that share a VID assigned to this bridge port are admitted Disable: All frames are forwarded. Only admitted frames that pass filtering are submitted to learning and forwarding processes. • PVID Assignment: Is per bridge port configuration: In VLAN-Aware mode, each received frame entering the bridge is associated with a single VID.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual The ASMi-54 VLAN-Aware bridge is an Independent VLAN Learning (IVL) bridge. The learning process inserts a new dynamic entry into the MAC table. This entry consists of a MAC-VID pair and bridge port.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction The frame format can be configured for each VLAN and port: • VLAN-tagged: In this mode: VLAN-tagged frames are transmitted unchanged. Untagged frames are transmitted tagged with priority according to the default priority of the ingress bridge port, and VID=PVID of the port from which they entered. Priority-tagged frames are transmitted tagged with original priority and VID = PVID. • Untagged: In this mode, all frames are transmitted as untagged.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual entry entered the bridge. The periodic check of the MAC table (aging time intervals), results in an actual aging time that can reach up to twice the value that was configured by the user. Forwarding Process The forwarding process is performed based on the frame MAC Destination Address (MDA). The frame is forwarded to the bridge/port specified in the MAC table for this MAC.
