Typical ADSL Installation

The ADSL Card is primarily installed to provide fast internet access to subscribers of
IRIS system. Each ADSL card can cater to 1 ADSL subscribers. Each card has an
uplin! Ethernet port" #hich can be used for connectin$ to the IS%. There is also a
do#nlin! Ethernet port" #hich is currently not activated. In future" this port can be used
for daisy chainin$ multiple ADSL cards" so that from the IRIS system" there #ill be a
common sin$le uplin! port. Another alternative #ould be to provide an e&ternal Ethernet
s#itch for a$$re$atin$ traffic from all the ADSL line cards and then ta!in$ a common
uplin! from the Ethernet s#itch to the IS% side.
In many cases" the band#idth from the IS% is ta!en in the form of ADSL line from the
IS%. 'ere" the IS% #ill terminate the band#idth usin$ an ADSL modem" #hich #ill
typically have an Ethernet port" #hich can be used for further distribution of band#idth.
The setup #ould be as sho#n belo#(

In some cases" a band#idth mana$er and a billin$ system mi$ht also be re)uired. In these
scenarios" the setup #ill be as sho#n belo#(
In both the above cases" the ADSL subscribers of IRIS have to be allotted uni)ue private
I% numbers. The I% address allocated to the ADSL subscribers of IRIS have to be
necessarily from the %rivate I% ban! and they must be uni)ue to the site. *or e&ample" I%
address ran$e 1+,.1-.1.& is a private I% ban! So subscribers can be allotted I% addresses
1+,.1-.1.," 1+,.1-.1.. and so on.
Confi$urations re%uired at the subscriber end
At the subscriber end" the %C #ill be connected to the ADSL modem. If the ADSL
modem has an inbuilt splitter" then there #ould be an R/11 0ac! in the modem" for

splitters" the ADSL line from the IRIS ADSL line card #ill first enter the %1TS splitter.
The %1TS splitter #ill have t#o outputs 2 one #ill $o to the ADSL modem and the other
for connectin$ the telephone instrument.
In the subscriber3s %C" the follo#in$ parameters are to be confi$ured(
a4 I% Address of the %C
b4 5ate#ay I% address for the %C
c4 D6S server address
The I% address of the %C should be allocated by the system administrator of the IRIS
installation site. This I% Address must be a private I% address and it should be uni)ue for
the installations site.
The $ate#ay I% Address to be defined" depends on the type of installation. If the
installation is of simple type #here no band#idth mana$ers or billin$ system are used"
then the $ate#ay ip address should be the I% address of the ADSL modem" #hich is
provided by the IS%. It should be noted that this I% address is that of the IS%3s ADSL
modem and not the local ADSL modem. This entry #ill be the same in all the subscriber
%Cs
In case band#idth mana$ers and billin$ systems are used"
The D6S server address #ill be provided by the IS%. This entry #ill be the same in all
the subscriber %Cs
The ADSL modem at the subscriber end should be confi$ured in the brid$e mode. The I%
address of the subscriber modem should be different from the I% Address of the IS%
modem. Althou$h I% address is allocated for each subscriber modem" this #ill be used
only for confi$urin$ the modem. 'ence all the subscriber modem in an installation site
can have the same I% address.
The follo#in$ section $ives more details of ho# to confi$ure the subscriber ADSL
modem.

The default I% address of most of the types of ADSL modem is 1+,.1-.1.1. 'o#ever"
pls. Consult the user manual of the modem to find the e&act default I% address. All the
modems can be confi$ured usin$ a #eb bro#ser. In the #eb bro#ser" enter the I% address
of the modem. 7a!e sure that the net#or! address of the %C matches #ith the net#or!
address of the ADSL modem. *or e&ample" if the I% address of the modem is
1+,.1-.1.1" then ma!e sure that the %C3s I% address is 1+,.1-.1.&.
Tip( To ensure that the Ethernet lin! bet#een the ADSL modem and the %C is correct"
run pin$ test bet#een the %C and the ADSL modem.
1n enterin$ the I% address of the modem in the #eb bro#ser" a #indo# opens up"
promptin$ the user to enter user name and pass#ord. Enter a valid user name and
pass#ord. After this" the home pa$e of the modem opens up. The home pa$e #ill be as
sho#n belo#.
%lease note that the home pa$e vie# may be different for different types of modems.

)ome Pa$e of modem

The home pa$e $ives the current status of the modem" includin$ the status of the ADSL
lin! and the various interfaces in the modem.

The first step for confi$uration #ould be to confi$ure the I% address of the modem. This
can be done by $oin$ to the LA6 confi$uration pa$e . In this pa$e" the I% address of the
modem can be modified. 7a!e sure that the I% Address of the subscriber modem is
different from that of the IS% modem.
1nce the I% address is modified" the bro#ser has to be shut do#n and reopened #ith the
ne# defined I% address of the modem.
The LA6 confi$uration table #ill be as sho#n belo#(

The ne&t step is to confi$ure the 9A6 interface of the modem. The 9A6 confi$uration
pa$e #ill have options to confi$ure the various 9A6 protocols and interfaces" supported
by the modem.
%a$e :of 11
The 9A6 confi$uration pa$e #ill also have an option to vie# the DSL status.
A sample vie# of the 9A6 confi$uration pa$e is sho#n belo#(
*A& confi$uration
As sho#n above" the 9A6 confi$uration pa$e has options to confi$ure or vie# the
various 9A6 interfaces li!e AT7 ;C" %%%" E1A and IpoA.
Select the AT7 ;C option to confi$ure the AT7 ;irtual Channel of the modem. Each
modem can have a ma&imum of - ;irtual Channels confi$ured. <ut for all practical
purposes" only one ;irtual Channel is re)uired to be confi$ured. This is because" the
modem is operated in brid$e mode and LLC mu& mode.
The AT7 ;C confi$uration pa$e #ill be as sho#n belo#(

ATM !C Confi$uration
Since only one AT7 ;C interface is re)uired" only AAL:=> has to be confi$ured. The
rest of the AT7 ;Cs are not re)uired. *or AAL:=>" the ;%I and ;CI has to be defined.
These are fi&ed values 2 the value of ;%I has to be > and the value of ;CI has to be .:.
7a!e sure these values are confi$ured for AAL:=>" other#ise the data connectivity
bet#een the subscriber %C and the IS% #ill not happen.
Tip( If the ;%I?;CI values are not confi$ured properly" the ADSL lin! #ill be active but
the data transfer #ill not ta!e place.
After confi$urin$ the AT7 ;C interface" the ne&t step #ould be to confi$ure the E1A
interface. E1A is Ethernet over AT7. This is re)uired for pac!eti@in$ the Ethernet
pac!ets received from the subscriber3s %C to AT7 frames and transportin$ them over the
ADSL lin!.

*or confi$uration" use eoa=> interface and select aal:=> as the lo#er interface for this eoa
interface. Do not enter any I% address or net mas!. Also disable the D'C% and default
route.
After addin$ the eoa=> interface" the screen #ill be as sho#n belo#(

After Addin$ an E#A interface
9ith this" the 9A6 interfaces" #hich #ill be used by our confi$uration has been fully
confi$ured. The ne&t step #ould be to confi$ure the modem in the brid$in$ mode" so that
it starts to brid$e the traffic from the LA6 interface to the 9A6 interface.
*or confi$urin$ the brid$in$ mode of the ADSL modem" select the brid$in$ pa$e. The
display #ill be as sho#n belo#(

In this option" enable the brid$in$ and 9A6 to 9A6 brid$in$.
After the above confi$uration" the subscriber %C must start $ettin$ pin$ responses from
the IS% modem B#hich is also confi$ured as the 5ate#ay for the %C4. If the pin$
responses are not received" then chec! up the ADSL lin! status and then the
confi$uration parameters of the ADSL modem.
After completin$ the confi$uration process" the chan$es made in the confi$uration of the
modem have to be stored. This is very important" as unless the chan$es made are
committed in the modem" all the parameters #ill be chan$ed to default modem" #hen the
modem is po#ered do#n and s#itched on a$ain.
*or committin$ the chan$es made" select the Admin pa$e. A sample of the admin pa$e is

In this pa$e select the commit button to save all the chan$es made in the confi$uration of
the modem.
9ith this" the confi$uration of the modem is complete and it is ready for accessin$ the
