Unpacking the SIM2000-24
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR
STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES
This product is designed to protect sensitive components from damage
due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When
performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control
precautions to prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure of the
proper static control precautions, contact your nearest sales or service
representative.
Unpack and inspect the SIM2000-24. If there is visible damage, do not attempt to
connect the device; contact your sales or service representative.
Installation in a 4000 or 12000 BAC
There must be a Multiplexer Uplink Module (MUM) installed in the Broadband
Access Concentrator (BAC) in order for interface modules to operate.
The 12000 and 12000E BACs are fourteen slot chassis. Slots 1–12 are
reserved for interface modules (such as the AIM24000), and the remaining
slots (13 and 14 in the 12000 and U1 and U2 in the 12000E) are reserved for
management modules.
The 4000 BAC is a five slot chassis; slots 1–4 are reserved for interface
modules and slot 5 is reserved for a MUM.
Interface modules are hot swappable. Installing or removing an interface module
while the chassis is powered up does not affect the operational status of other
interface modules within the chassis.
Procedure
1. Align the SIM2000-24 with the slot module guides of the chosen slot for
installation (slot 1–12 in the 12000 and 12000E or slot 1–4 in the 4000 and
4000E).
2. Slide the SIM2000-24 into the chassis. Do not use excessive force.
3. Secure the SIM2000-24 by tightening the fastening screws on the module
faceplate.
4. Verify that the PWR (Power) LED on the SIM2000-24 faceplate is illuminated.

Connecting the SDSL Line
Plug the SDSL cable RJ21 connector into the corresponding RJ21 port on the
back of the IP DSLAM. For most applications, a SIM2000-24 SDSL link requires a
straight-through cable. The SIM2000-24 can be connected with a remote SDSL
subscriber unit via either a single SDSL line or double SDSL lines (loop bonding).
For each port being connected to a remote SDSL subscriber unit, verify that the
SDSL link has been established: the SDSL LK LED for that port will pulse green to
indicate the connection has been made. Link up time can vary from one to five
minutes depending on the quality, gauge and distance of the copper cables.
Pins 25 and 50 are not used.
Loop Bonded SDSL Connection
Using two SDSL lines for one network connection (loop bonding) will net twice the
speed and data passing capability as a single-line SDSL connection. A second
SDSL line can also be considered a backup for the first, and vice versa, should
either line become disabled. Any two SIM2000-24 ports (consecutive or not) may
be connected to an SNE2020-S or SNE2020G-S subscriber unit to establish a
loop bonded connection.
NOTE: Any ports on the SIM2000-24 intended for a loop bonded connection with
an SNE2020-S or SNE2020G-S should be identically configured prior to
connection. Bonding ports with different configurations will likely result in
misplaced, misdirected, or dropped data. See the NMS Management User Guide
or the CLI and SNMP Management User Guide for configuration instructions. If
default settings are to be used for both ports, then prior configuration is not
necessary and you may proceed with installation.

Management Via the NMS
The Network Management System (NMS) is an embedded web server in certain
models of IP DSLAM MUMs. This web server maintains statistical and
configuration data for the SIM2000-24 and includes a scaled-down version of
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP v1.0).
NOTE: If your IP DSLAM is newly installed and has not yet been set up for
management access, you must configure the IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway (via the NMS or CLI) before you will be able to access data or complete
any other configurations. See the NMS, CLI, or SNMP User’s Guide for initial
configuration instructions.
Procedure
1. Establish a connection with your IP DSLAM MUM either directly (through the
Ethernet RJ45 MGMT Port on the MUM faceplate) or, if the system has been
so configured, from a PC on your local network. For direct connections, verify
that the MGMT LNK LED on the MUM faceplate is illuminated (indicating the
connection has been established).
2. Launch a web browser on your PC such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
(version 4.0 or higher) or Netscape Navigator (version 4.0 or higher).
3. Enter the DSLAM's IP address into the address field at the top of your browser
window. Press the Enter key.
4. Log in with your assigned username and password. (Note that General users
have read-only access; for SIM2000-24 configuration you must log in as a
Superuser.)
Once you have logged in as a Superuser, you may make configuration changes to
the SIM2000-24, and any other interface modules installed in the IP DSLAM, as
desired. For more detailed information regarding SIM2000-24 parameters and
configuration, refer to SIM2000-24 Parameters on page 9, or the NMS
Management User Guide.
Management Via the CLI
Interface modules in an IP DSLAM with a Command Line Interface (CLI)
compatible MUM can be managed with a terminal emulation program loaded onto
your PC using commands entered at a command prompt.
Procedure
1. Establish a direct connection between the serial port of your PC and the MUM
through the RS232 COM Port on the MUM faceplate.
2. Launch a terminal emulation program on your PC.
3. Log in with your assigned username. Once your username has been entered,
a request for password will appear. For SIM2000-24 configuration you must
log in as a Superuser.

8September 2004 SIM2-A2-GZ40-00
Once you have logged in as a Superuser, you may make configuration changes to
the SIM2000-24 and any other interface modules installed in the IP DSLAM. For
more detailed information regarding SIM2000-24 parameters and configuration,
refer to SIM2000-24 Parameters on page 9, or the CLI or SNMP User’s Guides.
Management Via SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the standard for management of
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networks and network
devices. Interface modules in an IP DSLAM with an SNMP compatible MUM can
be managed with a MIB Browser program (loaded onto your PC) via a set of
Object Identifiers (OIDs). OIDs are strings of numbers specifying various
configuration commands and requests for data.
NOTE: If your IP DSLAM is newly installed and has not yet been set up for
management access, you must configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway (via either NMS or CLI) before you will be able to utilize SNMP. See the
SNMP User’s Guide for initial configuration instructions.
Procedure
1. Establish a connection with the MUM either directly (through the Ethernet
RJ45 MGMT port on the MUM faceplate) or, if the system has been so
configured, from a PC on your local network. For direct connections verify that
the MGMT LNK LED on the MUM faceplate is illuminated (indicating the
connection has been established).
2. Launch a MIB Browser program on your PC. If you have not yet downloaded
the MIBs to your PC or local network, you can obtain the Paradyne enterprise
MIBs from ftp://ftp.nettonet.com/download/mibs and the supported portions of
MIB-II from RFC 1213 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html . Once these have been
downloaded, you will need to compile them into your MIB Browser. See your
MIB Browser user manual for further instruction.
Once the MIBs have been downloaded, you will be able to make configuration
changes to the SIM2000-24 and any other interface modules installed in the IP
DSLAM. For more detailed information regarding SIM2000-24 parameters and
configuration, refer to SIM2000-24 Parameters on page 9, or the SNMP User’s
Guide.

SIM2-A2-GZ40-00 September 2004 9
SIM2000-24 Parameters
Parameters common to all interface module models are defined in both the NMS
Management User’s Guide and the SNMP User’s Guide. Parameters specific to
the SIM2000-24 are outlined below.
Line Code
Line code configuration for the SIM2000-24 applies to all ports; individual ports
cannot be configured with different line codes.
TC/PAM (Default) – Transmission Convergence/Pulse Amplitude Modulation
(TC/PAM) line code is a sixteen-level PAM technique which incorporates
advanced trellis code, precoding, spectral shaping, equalization circuits and
forward error correction. Also known as G.SHDSL.
CAP – Carrierless Amplitude and Phase (CAP) line code modulates transmit
and receive signals into two wide-frequency bands that can pass through a
filter without being attenuated.
2B1Q – Two Binary, One Quaternary (2B1Q) line code is a four-level Pulse
Amplitude Modulation (PAM) technique which reduces the signaling rate to
half of the bit rate, thereby doubling transmission efficiency.
Speed
There are nine bandwidth options for SIM2000-24 SDSL connections. The default
is 272 kbps. Distance capabilities vary, depending upon the type of line code being
utilized. Distances listed below assume the use of 26 American Wire Gauge
(AWG) cable. Connections made with cable of a greater gauge will link up at
greater distances. The units may not link up if the cable is in poor condition or if the
cable distance is greater than a particular bandwidth will support.
Remote SDSL subscriber units determine line speed through their communication
with the SIM2000-24.

10 September 2004 SIM2-A2-GZ40-00
RAM and NVRAM
Configuration backup is inherent in the SIM2000-24. Upon initial power-up of the
IP DSLAM, default parameters of the SIM2000-24 will remain in place unless
changed through the NMS, CLI, or SNMP. Once changed, new configurations will
automatically be recorded in both the Random Access Memory (RAM) of the
SIM2000-24 and the Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) of the MUM.
While data stored in SIM2000-24 RAM will be erased if the module is removed
from the IP DSLAM or the IP DSLAM loses power, interface module data stored
within MUM NVRAM will remain intact, even if the unit loses power, unless
deliberately cleared or reconfigured.
Configuration Backup and Restore
Individual port configurations can be saved locally on your PC as a backup, and/or
for use as a template for future configurations. Once the SIM2000-24 has been
configured as desired, the settings can be uploaded through a Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP) tool with a GET command and the following information:
Host name: [IP DSLAM IP Address]
Remote filename: NVR_CFG.bin.[superuser password]
Local filename: [user preference]
Port configuration files can be downloaded from a local file to a SIM2000-24, using
the SET command.
NOTE: Only individual port configurations can be saved to a local file. Chassis
configurations cannot be uploaded or downloaded; they must be manually
configured for each unit.
