Slide 27: HSL Trouble Shooting
HSL Trouble Shooting Some points to remember: • Unlike HDSL, our system does not sync up from end to end but rather each section syncs up independently • Each pair is independent and bidirectional • More closely related to ADSL than HDSL • The HSL is a dynamic system that changes from moment to mome
Slide 28: How an HSL works - Calibration
HSL Trouble Shooting How an HSL works - Calibration • Based on Trial and Error • The System guesses at the next rate to try based on current Rate and SNR • Attempts to achieve the maximum BW and still maintain the target SNR set on the calibration screen • Intermittent anomalies will confuse this pr
Slide 29: How an HSL works - Recovery
HSL Trouble Shooting How an HSL works - Recovery • On Recovery, the pairs initially sync up at a low, fail safe rate to verify the far end is reachable, either 960K or 1920K • Once all pairs have connected to the far end, the HSL drops and the pairs attempt to recover at the calibrated (or adjusted)
Slide 30: How an HSL works - Rate Adaption
HSL Trouble Shooting How an HSL works - Rate Adaption • Impairments on a pair will cause it to drop and recover • The system lowers the Rate attempting to deal with the impairment • Handles long term impairments • BW restoration – forced or scheduled Page 32 Confidential to Actelis Networks - Copyri
Slide 31: How an HSL works - Qualification Failed
HSL Trouble Shooting How an HSL works - Qualification Failed • When a pair fails to calibrate for whatever reason, it goes into a “Qual. Failed” state • In this state it is no longer trying to sync with the far end • You could make this pair the best pair ever, it will still not sync when in this st
Slide 32: How an HSL works - Dynamic Addition
HSL Trouble Shooting How an HSL works - Dynamic Addition • Designed to add pairs to an existing Calibrated HSL • Only one pair at a time • Calibrates single pair in already calibrated HSL without being service affecting • Disable Modem Port from Configuration screen to remove from HSL • Re-enable Mo
