This chapter describes how to create, apply, and delete xDSL subscriber profiles.
This chapter includes the following sections:
You use xDSL profiles to apply a set of existing values (parameters) to several objects of the same type. Using profiles saves you from having to enter the same data many times. After you create a profile, you can apply it to other subscriber lines. CDM provides a default xDSL profile that includes specific parameters for each type of line card; the default profile is resident on the DSLAM.
You can also copy and alter the default parameters to create new xDSL profiles. You can change the parameters for one type of line card and save this xDSL profile with a new name; the parameters for the other line cards remain at the default settings unless you also change them.
CDM provides the following types of xDSL profile configurations:
When you add a subscriber, you perform the following tasks:
In CDM, a subscriber profile specifies the parameters of a subscriber line, which has a PVC or SPVC with two VCLs at each end. See "Creating Connections and ATM QoS Profiles," for instructions on how to create connections and use ATM QoS profiles.
The process for creating and applying profiles and establishing subscriber connections is as follows:
1. Access the object menu for the chassis, module, or interface object to which you want to associate an xDSL profile.
2. Choose the existing xDSL profile parameters that the DSLAM contains or create new parameters.
3. Apply an existing, uploaded profile or a newly created set of parameters to the subscriber line unless you want to use the default xDSL profile for that type of line card.
4. Deploy a PVC or SPVC object in CDM, apply a QoS profile, and make the connection.
 |
Note If the deployment fails, you can upload the ATM profile. See the "Manually Uploading ATM QoS Profiles" section for instructions. |
5. (Optional) Start performance polling on the connection.
The state of the DSLAM chassis and module determines how you can use xDSL profiles. Before you sync, create, apply, or delete xDSL profiles, review the guidelines described in Table 3-1.
 |
Tip Here is a workaround for removing an applied xDSL profile from an interface or module port through the CDM GUI. Apply a default or another profile to the interface whose applied profile is the one that you want to delete. After CDM overwrites the applied profile with either the default profile or a different profile, you can delete the previously applied profile. |
Each Cisco DSLAM ships with an existing xDSL default profile on the DSLAM node. When you commission the DSLAM, CDM automatically uploads this profile. You can use the default xDSL profile, and you can create new ones. The following sections include instructions for creating new xDSL profiles by modifying the default xDSL profile and saving it with a new name.
The xDSL profile contains parameters for each type of line card—ADSL (DMT) and SDSL, G.SHDSL, and ADSL (CAP). To display the xDSL default profile that resides on a DSLAM, you can Telnet to the IP address of the DSLAM and enter the show dsl profile default command to display these defaults. An example follows:
|
Note CDM 3.4 does not manage or support IDSL line cards. However, you can create IDSL profiles through Cisco IOS. |
After you have created new xDSL profiles, you can use the show dsl profile command to display a list of all xDSL profiles, including the default profiles and any new ones that you have created. If you want to display the parameters of a specific profile, use the command, show dsl profile <name_of_profile>.
You can manually sync all of the profiles on a DSLAM or several DSLAMs by using the Sync Profile button. Complete these steps:
Step 2 Choose Cisco DSL Manager > Chassis > Profile Management > xDSL Profiles.
The XDSL Interface Manager window opens. (See Figure 3-3.)
If you opened the XDSL Interface Manager window from one DSLAM, that DSLAM is highlighted in the list box on the left of the window.
Step 3 To sync the xDSL profiles for several DSLAMs, hold down the Shift key and highlight all of the chassis whose profiles you want to sync.
Step 4 Click Sync Profile.
A Notification Dialog window opens to notify you whether the synchronization process was successful.
Complete the following steps to create an xDSL profile based on an existing profile:
Step 2 Choose Cisco DSL Manager > Chassis > Profile Management > xDSL Profiles.
The XDSL Interface Manager window opens. (See Figure 3-3.)
Step 3 Select the xDSL profile you want to use as a model from the profile list box on the left side of the XDSL Interface Manager window.
Step 4 Click Create Profile.
Step 5 The Prompt dialog box opens.
Step 6 Enter the new profile name, then click OK.
Step 7 Select the newly created profile from the list box on the left.
Step 8 Set the parameters in the DMT tab, the SDSL/G.SHDSL, or the CAP tab for this new xDSL profile.
Step 9 Click Save to save your changes.
This section includes instructions for creating new xDSL profiles and includes the following sections:
|
Note The xDSL profile IDSL parameters are not applicable to this release of CDM. |
To create new xDSL profiles, you open the XDSL Interface Manager window, reset the line card parameters as you want them to be, and then create a new profile name for that xDSL profile. For example, if you want to create three levels of service and have an xDSL profile for each level, you could create Gold, Silver, and Bronze xDSL profiles.
In this example, you have DSLAM configurations that include CAP, DMT, and SDSL line cards. To create the Gold level xDSL profile, you would
1. Open the XDSL Interface Manager window.
2. Modify the DMT parameter settings for a high-level of service.
3. Modify the SDSL/G.SHDSL parameter settings for a high-level of service.
4. Modify the CAP parameters for a high-level of service.
5. Click the Create Profile button and name the profile Gold.
You would repeat these steps for the Silver and Bronze xDSL profile, setting the parameters appropriately for each level of service. You would then have three new xDSL profiles with the names Gold, Silver, and Bronze that you could easily apply to the appropriate subscribers.
|
Note CDM saves and stores xDSL profiles to the IOS configuration on the DSLAM. Only the profile name is stored in CDM. |
|
Note When you modify an xDSL profile in CDM and save it with a new name, avoid using spaces in the name of the profile. Your profile name should be compatible with the IOS CLI, which recognizes a space as the end of a profile name. For example, use newprofiletype as the name rather than new profile type. |
This section describes how to set new parameters for DMT line cards and includes the following topics:
To modify the DMT parameters in the XDSL Interface Manager window, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Choose Cisco DSL Manager > Chassis > Profile Management > xDSL Profiles.
The XDSL Interface Manager window opens. (See Figure 3-3.)
This window opens to the DMT tab. The DMT tab contains five areas:
Step 3 Click Create Profile.
Step 4 Enter the name for the profile in the Prompt dialog box, and then click OK.
The fields in the DMT tab are described in Table 3-2.
The DMT interface can be set to either interleaved or fast; the choices are mutually exclusive. The default setting is interleaved. Therefore, if you want to set the DMT interface to fast, you must enter zeros (0s) in all of the interleaved Channel area fields in the DMT tab.
Complete the following steps to set the interleaved channel fields. Use the GUI tooltips as a guide to the available valid values. Also see Table 3-2.
If you are setting the Fast Channel parameters instead, enter 0 for both Downstream and Upstream in this field.
|
Note You must set the fields in the Interleaved Channel area to 0 if you want to set the Fast Channel fields for a DMT card. If you allow values to remain in these field, CDM issues an error. |
Step 2 Enter the appropriate variable in the Max TX Rate (bps) field for both Downstream and Upstream.
If you are setting the Fast Channel parameters instead, enter 0 for both Downstream and Upstream in this field.
Step 3 Enter the appropriate variable in the Min TX Rate (bps) field for both Downstream and Upstream.
If you are setting the Fast Channel parameters instead, enter 0 for both Downstream and Upstream in this field.
Step 4 Use the down arrow to select the appropriate value in the FEC Redundancy Bytes field for both Downstream and Upstream.
If you are setting the Fast Channel parameters instead, enter 0 for both Downstream and Upstream in this field.
Complete these steps to set the fast channel fields. Remember to set the all of the fields in the Interleaved Channel area to 0 if you are setting Fast Channel parameters. Use the GUI tooltips as a guide to the available valid values. Also see Table 3-2.
Step 2 Enter the appropriate variable in the Min TX Rate (bps) field for both Downstream and Upstream.
Step 3 Use the down arrow to select the appropriate value in the FEC Redundancy Bytes field for both Downstream and Upstream.
Complete these steps to set the fields in the Rate Adaptation area in the DMT tab. Use the GUI tooltips as a guide to the available valid values. Also see Table 3-2.
Step 2 Enter the appropriate value in the Min SNR Margin (tenth dB) field.
Step 3 Enter the appropriate value in the Min Time before Rate Downshift (sec) field.
Complete these steps to set the common fields. Use the GUI tooltips as a guide to the available valid values. Also see Table 3-2.
Step 2 Use the down arrow to select the codeword in the Codeword Size (in symbols) field.
Complete these steps to set the common fields. Use the GUI tooltips as a guide to the available valid values. Also see Table 3-2.
Step 2 In the Bit Swap Margin To (in dB) field, enter an appropriate value from the range of 1 to 9.
Step 3 In the Bit Swap Margin From (in dB) field, enter an appropriate value from the range of 1 to 9.
Step 4 In the Training Mode field, use the down arrow to select fast or standard training.
Step 5 In the Line Operating Mode field, use the down arrow to select which line-operating mode the ADSL line will use.
Step 6 In the Trellis Encoding field, use the down arrow to select enable or disable to set whether trellis coding is used on the DMT line.
Step 7 In the Overhead Framing field, use the down arrow to set the negotiated overhead framing structure that the downstream device and upstream device use.
Step 8 Click the Save icon or choose File > Save from the menu bar.
CDM creates, saves, and stores the newly defined profile.
You can set xDSL profile SDSL/G.SHDSL parameters to apply to SDSL or G.SHDSL interfaces. One set of SDSL or G.SHDSL parameters can be applied to multiple SDSL or G.SHDSL interfaces on a card.
To modify xDSL profile SDSL or G.SHDSL parameters for an SDSL interface, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Choose Cisco DSL Manager > Chassis > Profile Management > xDSL Profiles.
Step 3 Click the SDSL/G.SHDSL tab, (see Figure 3-4).
The SDSL/G.SHDSL tab contains two areas—SDSL-specific Configuration and G.SHDSL-specific Configuration.
Step 4 Select the profile that you want to use as a template from the list box on the left.
Step 5 Click Create Profile.
Step 6 Enter the name for the new profile in the Prompt dialog box, and then click OK.
Step 7 Use the GUI tooltips and refer to Table 3-3 to set the fields in this tab as follows:
a. In the SDSL-specific Configuration area, use the down arrow in the Max Line Rate (bps) field to select the maximum bit rate you want to set for the SDSL profile.
The remaining fields are in the G.SHDSL-specific Configuration area. Enter these values in multiples of 10.
b. In the Target SNR Margin (tenth dB) field, enter the value for the target signal-to-noise ratio margin.
c. In the Min SNR Margin (tenth dB) field, enter the setting for the minimum SNR margin.
d. In the Max Line Rate (bps) field, use the down area to select the maximum line rate for the G.SHDSL profile.
e. In the SHDSL PSD masktype field, use the down arrow to select symmetric.
This object specifies the PSD mask type for the transceiver. For all values of the SHDSL bit rate field, you can select the symmetric PSD mask type.
Step 8 Click the Save icon or choose File > Save to save your changes.
The fields in the SDSL/G.SHDSL tab are described in Table 3-3.
You can modify xDSL profile CAP parameters to apply to flexi CAP interfaces. One set of CAP parameters can be applied to multiple flexi CAP interfaces on a card.
To modify CAP profile parameters, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Choose Cisco DSL Manager > Chassis > Profile Management > xDSL Profiles.
The XDSL Interface Manager window opens. (See Figure 3-5.)
Step 3 Click the CAP tab.
The CAP tab contains two areas—Common and Downstream/Upstream.
Step 4 Click Create Profile.
Step 5 Enter the new profile name and click OK.
See Table 3-4 and use the GUI tooltips to set the parameters on the CAP tab.
Step 6 In the Common area, set the following parameters:
a. Use the down arrow in the Training Mode field to set this to Standard.
b. Use the down arrow in the Interleave Delay field to set this field to none, short, or long.
c. Enter the appropriate value in the Min CPE Signature field.
Step 7 In the Downstream/Upstream area, set the following parameters:
a. Enter the appropriate values in the Target SNR Margin (tenth dB) for both downstream and upstream.
b. Use the down arrow to set the Min Line Rate (bps) field for both downstream and upstream.
c. Use the down arrow to set the Max Line Rate (bps) field for both downstream and upstream.
d. Use the down arrow to set the Enable 136K Bit Rate (bps) field to true or false, downstream only.
e. Use the down arrow to set the Enable 68K Bit Rate (bps) field to true or false, upstream only.
f. Use the down arrow to set the Enable 136K Bit Rate (bps) field to true or false, upstream only.
g. Use the down arrow to set the Nominal Power Output (dBm/Hz) (bps) field for both downstream and upstream.
Step 8 Click the Save icon or choose File > Save to save your changes.

To delete an existing xDSL profile, complete these steps. You can delete a profile only if it is not currently in use.
Or, open the XDSL Interface Manager window and choose the profile from the list box that you want to delete and right-click.
Step 2 Choose Deployment > Delete Objects from the object menu
The Deployment Wizard Summary window opens.
Step 3 Click Finish to delete the selected profile.
A message displays in the Deployment Wizard Summary window to confirm successful deletion.
You cannot delete a profile that is currently in use. If you want to view the subscribers that are using a specific profile, you can run a Cisco EMF query against the profile name. (Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide for details about how to run a query.)

Tip Here is a workaround for removing an applied xDSL profile from an interface or module port through the CDM GUI. Apply a default or another profile to the interface whose applied profile is the one that you want to delete. After CDM overwrites the applied profile with either the default profile or a different profile, you can delete the previously applied profile. |
This section includes instructions for viewing and applying xDSL profiles and includes the following topics:
Complete the following steps to view the details of any xDSL profile:
Step 2 Choose Cisco DSL Manager > Interface > Configuration > xDSL from the object menu.
The Apply XDSL Profile window opens. (See Figure 3-6.)
Step 3 Click Show Profile Detail.
The XDSL Interface Manager window opens, in which you can view the details of this profile. (See Figure 3-7.)
Step 4 Click the Close icon to close the XDSL Interface Manager window.
You can apply profiles to an interface only if the module and interface are in normal, preprovisioned, performance logging on, or errored state. If the module or interface is in lostcomms, decommissioned, or commissioning state, CDM will issue a failure when you attempt to apply profiles.
Complete the following steps to apply profiles:
Step 2 Choose Cisco DSL Manager > Interface > Configuration > xDSL from the object menu.
The Apply XDSL Profile window opens. (See Figure 3-8.)
Step 3 In the Applied Profile Name list in the Apply XDSL Profile window, click the xDSL profile you want to apply; this highlights the profile.
Step 4 Click the interface to which you want to apply this profile from the list box in the Interface area on the left side of the Apply XDSL Profile window.
You can use the shift key to select more than one interface.
Step 5 Click Apply to apply this profile.
