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:
Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) profiles:
Discrete multitone (DMT) profiles
Carrierless amplitude and phase modulation (CAP) profiles
Symmetrical digital subscriber line (SDSL) profiles, including G.SHDSL
When you add a subscriber, you perform the following tasks:
Create and apply a profile to a subscriber line.
Deploy a PVC or SPVC, then apply a QoS profile and connect it.
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.
Roadmap for Creating and Applying Profiles and Establishing Connections
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.
5. (Optional) Start performance polling on the connection.
Overview of Using xDSL Profiles
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.
Table 3-1 Guidelines for Using Profiles
Chassis or Module State
Profile Guidelines
Chassis and module in normal state (not decommissioned)
You can:
Create profiles
Apply profiles
Modify applied profiles
Modify unapplied profiles
Delete unapplied profiles; this removes the profile from the DSLAM node and IOS device.
You cannot delete applied profiles.
Chassis in normal state and module is decommissioned
You can:
Create profiles
Modify applied profiles
Modify unapplied profiles
Delete unapplied profiles
You cannot:
Apply profiles
Delete applied profiles
Chassis is decommissioned
You can:
Delete an unapplied profile, but only temporarily from CDM. The profile remains on the device and once the chassis is recommissioned, profile synchronization occurs resulting in the deleted profile reappearing on the chassis node.
Delete an applied profile but only temporarily from CDM. The profile remains on the device and once the chassis is recommissioned, profile synchronization occurs resulting in the deleted profile reappearing on the chassis node.
You cannot:
Create profiles
Apply profiles
Modify applied profiles
Modify unapplied profiles
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.
Using the Default xDSL 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 3.4.2 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>.
Using the Sync Profile Feature
You can manually sync all of the profiles on a DSLAM or several DSLAMs by using the Sync Profile button. Complete these steps:
Step 1 On the left side of the Map Viewer window, right-click the DSLAM whose xDSL profiles you want to sync, or right-click the site if you want to sync profiles of several DSLAMs.
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.
Setting New DMT Parameters
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 1 In the Map Viewer window, within the Component Managed view, right-click the chassis object (DSLAM) for which you want to modify profile parameters to access the object menu.
The XDSL Interface Manager window opens. (See Figure 3-3.)
Figure 3-3 XDSL Interface Manager Window—DMT Tab
This window opens to the DMT tab. The DMT tab contains five areas:
Interleaved Channel
Fast Channel
Rate Adaptation
Downstream/Upstream
Common
Step 3 Click Create Profile.
Step 4 Enter the name for the profile in the Prompt dialog box, and then click OK.
DMT Tab Field Definitions
The fields in the DMT tab are described in Table 3-2.
Table 3-2 XDSL Interface Manager Window—DMT Tab Field Descriptions
Field
Description
Interleaved Channel
Max Interleaved Delay (ms)
Sets the number of bytes to be used for interleaved delay. Enter the value for downstream and upstream interleave delay in bytes. This field applies only to the interleave channel and defines the mapping, or relative spacing, that exists (1) between subsequent input bytes at the interleaver input and (2) the placement of the input bytes in the bit stream at the interleaver output.
Min TX Rate (bps)
Specifies the minimum transmit rate. Enter the value for the configured minimum transmit rate for interleave channels in bits per second.
Max TX Rate (bps)
Specifies the maximum transmit rate. Enter the value for the configured maximum transmit rate for interleave channels in bits per second.
FEC Redundancy Bytes
Specifies the initial number of FEC redundancy bytes that the downstream and upstream device frames transmit over the interleaved channel during the training sequence. Valid choices include 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16.
The downstream device can fall back from this value depending on the aggregate data rate achieved during training. The value of this object must be an integral multiple of the value displayed in the Codeword Size field.
Fast Channel
Min TX Rate (bps)
Enter a value from 0 to 8,064,000 in steps of 32,000 to specify the minimum transmit rate for downstream. Enter a value from 0 to 1,024,000 in steps of 32,000 to specify the minimum transmit rate for upstream.
Max TX Rate (bps)
Enter a value from 0 to 8,064,000 in steps of 32,000 to specify the maximum transmit rate for downstream. Enter a value from 0 to 1,024,000 in steps of 32,000 to specify the minimum transmit rate for upstream.
FEC Redundancy Bytes
Enter a value from 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 to set the initial number of FEC redundancy bytes (downstream and upstream) that the DSLAM appends to the fast channel.
Rate Adaptation
Line Rate Mode
Use the down arrow to choose enable or disable; doing so sets or disables the transmission rate adaptation (downstream only) to adjust the line rate to meet the SNR margin.
Min SNR Margin (tenth dB)
Enter -150 to 150, in increments of 10, to specify the minimum SNR margin in for downstream and upstream.
Min Time before Rate Downshift (sec)
Enter 1 to 60 to specify the minimum time in seconds allowed before the line rate can downshift for downstream and upstream.
Downstream/Upstream
Target SNR Margin (tenth dB)
Specifies the target SNR margin.
Enter the value to set the noise margin that the modem must achieve with a BER of 10-7 or better to successfully complete initialization.
If the noise margin is above this level, the modem should attempt to reduce its power output to optimize its operation.
If the noise margin falls below this level, the modem attempts to increase its power output.
If the increase is not possible, the modem attempts to reinitialize or shut down.
Note Configured allocation ratios of excess transmit bandwidth between fast and interleaved channels apply only when two-channel mode and RADSL are supported.
Codeword Size (in symbols)
Sets the number of symbols per codeword that the downstream and upstream messages use on an interleaved channel during the training sequence. Valid choices include—0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
The downstream can fall back from this value, based on the aggregate data rate achieved during training.
Additional PM SNG Margin (tenth dB)
Specifies the Power Management Additional Signal/Noise Margin.
For upstream if the Current Signal/Noise Margin exceeds the value set by this parameter plus the Target Signal/Noise margin value, the ATU-R will reduce its power to optimize its operation.
For downstream if the Current Signal/Noise Margin exceeds the value set by this parameter plus the Target Signal/Noise margin value, the ATU-C will reduce its power to optimize its operation.
Note Setting this parameter to 0 disables this function. Valid values are multiples of 10 from 10 to 150.
Common
Bit Swapping
Specifies bit swapping, which can maximize error performance by attempting to maintain an acceptable margin for each bin by equalizing the margin across all bins through bit reallocation.
Bit Swapping To (in dB)
Use the down arrow to choose a number from 0 to 6 as a threshold value. The ATU-C marks a bin as a "to" bin if the bin margin exceeds a specified target value and the difference between the margin and target exceeds a specified threshold value.
If this value is too low, the ATU-C might toggle bit allocation on bins frequently. If impulse noise is present, the frequent toggling of bit allocation can cause errors. If this value is too high, the ATU-C might not identify an adequate number of bins to which it can swap bits, which reduces the ability of the ATU-C to equalize the margin across all bins.
Training Mode
Use the down arrow to choose standard of fast to set the mode that the downstream and upstream devices use when the devices are training against each other. The default training mode for ADSL modems is standard.
Trellis Encoding
Use the down arrow to set enabled or disable. Trellis coding is a method of forward error correction in which each signal is assigned a coded binary value. This value represents the phase and amplitude of that signal, allowing the receiving modem to determine whether a given signal is received in error.
Bit Swapping From (in dB)
Use the down arrow to choose 0 to 6 as a threshold value. The ATU-C marks a bin as a "from" bin if the bin margin falls below a specified target value, and the difference between the margin and target exceeds a specified threshold value.
If you set this value too low, the ATU-C may frequently toggle the bit allocation on bins. If impulse noise is present, the frequent toggling of bit allocation can cause errors. If you set this value too high, the ATU-C may not identify an adequate number of bins from which it can swap bits. This situation decreases the ability of the ATU-C to equalize the margin across all bins.
Line Operating Mode
Use the down arrow to select from the following operating modes:
automatic—In this mode, the ATU-C automatically detects the capabilities of the ATU-R CPE and uses a startup sequence that is specified by G.992.1, G.992.2, or T1.413-1998. The default for an ADSL line is auto mode.
g992Dot1—In this mode, the ATU-C requests the G994.1 startup sequence. After startup, the line complies to G992.1 operation. This mode is used in European configurations (Annex B).
g992Dot2—In this mode, the ATU-C requests the G994.1 startup sequence. After startup, the line complies to G992.2 operation. G992.2 is also known as G.lite. This mode is used in European configurations (Annex B).
t1Dot413—In this mode, the ATU-C requests the T1.413-1998 startup sequence. After startup, the line complies to T1.41-1998 operation.
Overhead Framing Structure
Use the down arrow to set the negotiated overhead framing structure that the downstream device and upstream device use. Choose from among the following modes:
0 = Full Asynchronous. Full-overhead framing with asynchronous bit-to-modem timing (enabled synchronization control mechanism).
1 = Full Synchronous. Full-overhead framing that uses synchronous bit-to-modem timing, a disabled synchronization control mechanism.
2 = Reduced Separate Fast. Reduced-overhead framing that has separate fast and sync bytes. Bytes exist in fast and interleaved latency buffer respectively (64 kbps framing overhead).
3 = Reduced Merged Fast. Reduced overhead framing with merged fast and dsync byte, using either the fast or interleaved latency buffer (32 kbps framing overhead). This is the recommended setting.
Note G.lite line rates allow only for an overhead frame value of 3.
Setting the Interleaved Channel Fields
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.
Step 1 Enter the appropriate variable in the Max Interleaved Delay (ms) field to set the interleave delay for both downstream and upstream.
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.
Setting the Fast Channel Parameters

To delete an existing xDSL profile, complete these steps. You can delete a profile only if it is not currently in use.
Step 1 From the Component Managed view, right-click the xDSL profile that you to delete.
Or, open the XDSL Interface Manager window and choose the profile from the list box that you want to delete and right-click.
Note You can also hold down the shift key to select more than one profile.
Step 2 Choose Deployment > Delete Objectsfrom 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.
Viewing and Applying xDSL Profiles
