Line (SHDSL) technology to transport data over a
single copper loop. The Express 6530 interfaces
between the incoming ITU G.991.2 (SHDSL)
leased-line service and the customer’s Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE), providing solutions for
LAN-to-LAN bridging, Frame Relay, and/or PBX
termination.
The Express 6530 is a locally powered standalone unit
which contains an integrated Data Service Unit
(DSU), eliminating the need for a separate DSU. The
Express 6530 interfaces to a customer’s G.703, V.35,
or X.21 interfaces and can be provisioned to support
simultaneous G.703 and Nx64 services. The SHDSL
interface is designed to operate from 192 kbps to
2.304 Mbps in 64 kbps increments or from 3 to 36
time slots, with each time slot representing 64 kbps.
The SHDSL time slots can be multiplexed to the
G.703 and/or the Nx64 interfaces. The maximum
number of time slots that can be directed toward the
G.703 interface is 32 (2.048 Mbps), while the Nx64
can support 36 (2.304 Mbps). A block diagram of the
Express 6530 functionality is illustrated in Figure 2.

The Express 6530 can be deployed in pairs for a local
campus application or to an LTU located in a Central
Office. The Express 6530 can be locally or remotely
provisioned with local provisioning being
accomplished through the V.28 control port using a
dumb terminal or PC with a terminal emulation
program. The Express 6530 can be remotely
provisioned by another Express 6530 or an ADTRAN
SHDSL LTU. The Express 6530 can initiate and
respond to local and remote loopbacks and has an
internal 215-1 pseudorandom test pattern for bit error
testing. Front panel-mounted LEDs and pushbuttons
provide interface and test status as well as the
initiation of a remote or local loopback.

The Express 6530 has four front panel pushbuttons.
The buttons are protected from accidental operation.
The front panel button functions can be disabled via
the management interface. It is possible to disable the
port select SHDSL option to avoid the possibility of
looping the SHDSL port when disabled. Table 2 lists
and describes these four pushbuttons.
4. When the G.703 port is selected, the G.703 port
LED flashes as an indication.
If there is only a single service on the G.703 port
then the Local Loop/Err Inj, Remote Loop and
BERT buttons initiate/terminate tests and the
corresponding LEDs indicate the status of tests
on this port only.
The “Port Select” button operates in the following
manner:
If there are multiple services, the G.703 port
Local Loop/Err Inj, Remote Loop, and BERT
buttons are disabled, and the corresponding LEDs
indicate the status of tests on this port only
(initiated from sources other than the front panel
buttons).
1. When no port has been selected (indicated by
none of the port LEDs flashing), then only the
“Port Select” button is enabled and the LL, RL
and BERT LEDs are an ordered summation of
the test states of the Nx64k, G.703 and SHDSL
interfaces.
5. When the SHDSL port is selected, the SHDSL
port LED flashes as an indication. Note that the
SHDSL port select can only occur if enabled via
the management interface. The Local Loop/Err
Inj, Remote Loop, and BERT buttons will
2. The Port Select button cycles through the
following ports on each successive press:
• Nx64k
initiate/terminate tests and the corresponding
LEDs indicate the status of tests on this port only.
These tests are on the aggregate SHDSL payload
• G.703
• SHDSL (only if enabled via the EOC)
• No Selection
3. When the Nx64k port is selected, the Nx64k LED
will flash as an indication. The Local Loop/Err
Inj, Remote Loop and BERT buttons will initiate/
terminate tests and the corresponding LEDs
indicate the status of tests on this port only.
Port Select will not operate if any locally initiated
tests are in progress.
Table 2. Front Panel Pushbuttons
Button Label
Description
On each successive press, cycles through the following:
Nx64k, G.703, SHDSL, and No Select.
PORT SELECT
If a port is selected, and a BERT is not in progress then
pressing the button will initiate/terminate a local loopback
test on the selected port. If a BERT is in progress, then
pressing the button injects a single bit error.
LOCAL LOOP/ ERR INJ
REMOTE LOOP
If the SHDSL port is selected, then pressing the button will
initiate/terminate a remote loopback test on the port by
sending a request message to the remote unit. If the
Nx64k port or G.703 port (with only one service defined)
is selected, then pressing the button will initiate/terminate a
remote loopback test on the selected port's single data
service by sending in-band loop up/down patterns to the far
end.
If a port is selected and there are no local loopback tests
active, then pressing the button will start or stop a BERT
on the selected port.

1. - 31. G.703 Service
Cross-Connect Map
The selected time slot will carry G.703 service (Refer
to the Full G.703 Services subsection for more
information).
The purpose of the cross-connect map is to allocate
the time slots (TS0s) from the SHDSL loop to user
ports (E1, V.35/X.21) and configure framing. The
cross-connect maps can be accessed via the VT100
terminal screens. Select “1,” Provisioning, from the
Main Menu. Choose to provision the local unit
(Selection 1) or the remote unit (Selection 2). Next,
select “1,” Unit Options, and then “3,” Cross Connect
Map. The cross-connect map is shown in Figure 6.
32. G.704 Framing
This option enables three different framing
configurations. Framing is always set in the first time
slot (TS0). The framing will be locally generated if
32 is entered in the G.703 TS0 slot only. If 32 is
entered in the G.703 TS0 and the SHDSL TS0, then
the framing will be passed transparently between the
G.703 and SHDSL ports. If values other than 32 are
assigned to both the SHDSL TS0 slot and G.703 TS0
slot then the operation is G.703 unframed (if other
G.703 service values are assigned to the G.703 time
slots).
The cross-connect map is split down the middle in two
sections. The left section of the map lists the SHDSL
time slots and right section of the map lists the G.703
time slots. The user builds a new pending map before
making it active with the apply key. The options
listed at the bottom of the screen allow the user to
setup and manipulate the time slots. The statement
under the list of commands indicates the framing
status. Time slot configuration options are defined as
follows:
33. Nx64k Service
The selected time slot will carry Nx64k service. The
value assignment is only valid for the SHDSL time
slots.
0. Idle
A. Apply New Map
If a time slot is set for idle, an idle code is inserted.
The pattern will always be FF hex (all 1s) toward the
SHDSL network.
This command saves and activates any changes made
by the user.
U. Undo New Map
The idle pattern out the G.703 interface is
programmable under the G.703 option. The default is
value FF hex (all 1’s).
This command will undo any changes made by the
user since the last saved configuration. The new
pending map will revert to the currently active time
slot assignments.

G. Full G.703 Service
All unused time slots contain a configurable bit
pattern that is set via the management interface. The
default bit pattern is all 1s. Unused time slots are
those which are sent out of the G.703 port, but are not
part of a service. The G.703 port transmits the unused
time slot patterns, and the receive ignores the unused
time slots.
If this quick key command is selected, the cross-
connect map will automatically configure the time
slots for Full G.703 service, and the framing will be
set for transparent. Refer to the Typical Applications
subsection for more information.
N. Full Nx64k Service
If this quick key command is selected, the
cross-connect map will automatically configure the
time slots for full Nx64k service. Refer to the Typical
Applications subsection for more information.
The service values (1-31) correlate to the G.703
Services test options. These options provide the
capability to loopback and test time slots by service
value, so as not to affect other services in surrounding
time slots.
Tab. Select SHDSL or G.703 Timeslots
The tab key moves the cursor between the SHDSL
and G.703 sections of the cross-connect map.
Arrow Keys. Move Cursor
The arrow keys allow movement between the
individual time slots.
G.703 Service Time Slots
A service is comprised of an arbitrary collection of
time slots from the SHDSL interface that shall be
configured via the management interface. Time slot
allocation on an ordered noncontiguous basis is
possible with each time slot within a service having
the same delay. An example is illustrated in Figure 7.

Bit Error Rate Test
Total Elapsed Time – Total time that has elapsed
since the test began (Days: Hours: Minutes: Seconds).
The SHDSL NTU contains a built-in Bit Error Rate
Test (BERT). The BERT involves injecting and
detecting a Pseudorandom Binary Sequence (PRBS)
toward the network on the selected payload (i.e.
G.703, Nx64, or entire SHDSL payload). The PRBS
used in the SHDSL NTU is PRS15 as defined in
ITU-T O.150 and O.151. It is also known as a 2e-15
pattern.
A BERT status field supplies the following
information:
On – The BERT has started and has pattern sync.
Searching for pattern – The BERT has lost pattern
sync.
Off – This BERT is currently off.
The BERT is only accessible via the VT100 terminal
screens. Select “4. Test” from the Main Menu
Screen. From the Test Screen, the SHDSL BERT,
G.703 BERT, and Nx64k BERT options will appear,
and each has one of the following status messages:
Loopbacks
There are five types of local loopbacks and five types
of remote loopbacks available for each of the three
line interfaces (V.35, G.703, and SHDSL). When
initiating a loopback, the first step is choosing a line
interface. When V.35 is chosen, the loopback will
occur at the V.35 drivers and receivers. When G.703
is chosen, the loopback will occur at the G.703 drivers
and receivers. When SHDSL is chosen, the loopback
will occur at the SHDSL drivers and receivers.
N/A – This BERT is currently unavailable. Only one
BERT can be active at a time. For example, if
SHDSL BERT is active, all others will be N/A.
ACTIVE – This BERT is currently in progress. The
source column identifies the person who initiated the
BERT.
INACTIVE – This BERT is not currently in progress.
After selecting a BERT type from the Test Screen, the
BERT Screen will appear, illustrating both BERT
statistics and commands.
NOTE
All remote loopbacks are initiated at the local
Express 6530 unit.
If no BERT is currently active, the following list of
commands will be available:
Local Dual Sided Loopback – Provides a
bidirectional loopback at the NTU (Figure 12).
Start – Starts the BERT on the selected port/service.
If the BERT is currently active, the following list of
commands will be available:
Stop – Stops the BERT in progress.
Inject a Single Bit Error – Injects one bit error into
the pattern.
Figure 12. Local Dual Sided Loopback
Restart – Clears out all statistics and restarts the
BERT.
Remote Dual Sided Loopback – Initiated at the NTU
and provides bidirectional loopback at the LTU
(Figure 13).
In addition to the commands, the following statistical
information is provided:
Bit Error Rate – Total number of bit errors divided
by the total number of bits in the current test interval.
Bit Error Count – Total number of bit errors in the
current test interval.
Pattern Sync Loss Count – Total number of times
that the BERT has lost pattern sync.
Figure 13. Remote Dual Sided Loopback
Errored Seconds – Total number of seconds in which
at least one bit error has occurred.

Multiple Services
When less than 32 time slots are configured on the
G.703 port, the NTU bases the CRC-4 detection/
generation on filling the unused time slots with a fixed
pattern configurable via the management interface.
This CRC-4 detection/generation is also required for
multirate (single or simultaneous services) where less
than 31 G.704 time slots are carried over the SHDSL
line.
The NTU supports the configuration of multiple
services. These services are routed to either the
G.703/G.704 interface or the Nx64k interface. The
Nx64k interface supports a single service with
1 <= N <= 36. The G.703 interface (with G.704
framing) supports multiple services (often termed
“Stacked E1”). The G.703 interface without any
framing supports a single 2048 kBit/s service. (See
ITU-T G991.2 Annex. E.1-TPS-TC for European
2048 kbit/s digital Unstructured Leased Line
(D2048U).)
NOTE
All framed services operate in aligned mode.
The Nx64k service and G.703 service are capable of
operating simultaneously. The total number of time
slots must be less than or equal to the maximum
number of SHDSL time slots (excluding TS0 if
structured E1 is used). The G.703 interface with
framing (G.704) runs over SHDSL in aligned mode
and supports simultaneous services using the Nx64k
port for the second service. (See ITU-T G991-2
Annex E.7 - TPS-TC for Aligned European 2048
kbit/s digital Structured Leased Line (D2048S) and
Fractional.)
Operation
The SHDSL NTU supports multiple rate line
operation as specified in ITU-T G.991.2. All services
described in this document operate in multiple rate
mode, with a corresponding change in maximum
payload. Unstructured E1 is supported for SHDSL
rates equal to 32 and with all G.703 time slot
assignments equal to the same G.703 service value
(1 to 31).
The G.703 interface supports operation in the
following modes that are selectable via the
management interface:
The SHDSL NTU supports CRC-4 detection/
generation toward the SHDSL network (Figure 22).
The CRC-4 detection/generation can operate in the
following modes (configurable via the management
interface):
1. Framed
2. Framed pass through
3. Unframed
1. CRC-4 detection/generation disabled
2. CRC-4 detection/generation enabled

The NTU provides framing on the E1 port as
When the NTU is configured for an unframed service
the only alarm available is LOS. Consequential
actions can only be undertaken if G.704 framing is
either delivered by the remote unit or is being
described in G.704 (sections 2.3 and 5) and G.706
(section 4) and G.736. In this mode, the data arriving
at the SHDSL interface need not contain any G.704
framing and the NTU generates the framing. One or
more services can be routed into time slots 1-31.
generated on the NTU. If framing is being generated
by the LT then the LT is responsible for these actions.
CRC-4 multiframe may be enabled or disabled. The
default is disabled. The NTU routes one or more
services from the SHDSL payload into time slots
1-31, as well as routing time slot 0. In this mode
G.704 framing is present in the data arriving on the
SHDSL interface, and this is passed transparently to
the G.703 interface.
While any of the alarm states LOS, AIS, LOF,
LOMFA and BER are detected, the following
consequential actions will occur:
1. The remote alarm indication (bit 3 of the TS0
B- word) will be set as described in the G.704,
G.726 and G.706;
2. The G.703/G.704 alarm LED will be on,
3. AIS will be transmitted toward the network in all
corresponding data time slots.
NOTE
Not all time slots are necessarily routed between
the SHDSL and G.703 interface – some may be
routed from the SHDSL to the Nx64k interface.
See the CRC-4 Multiframe subsection.
NOTE
RAI assertion by the NTU can be disabled (the
defaultstate)undertheG.703OptionsScreenby
the Customer RAI generation option.
The NTU monitors the G.704 framing to detect errors
(and thus drive the NTU LEDs) and to determine the
value of the TS0 spare bits. The NTU transfers all
SHDSL payload time slots transparently through the
G.703 port without framing or monitoring. In this
mode the port operates as a 2 Mbit/s G.703 interface
without any G.704 framing. This implies that the
whole SHDSL payload comprises a single service.
When remote alarm indication is detected, the alarm
condition will be displayed on the front panel.
The following alarm conditions can be monitored on
the G.703/G.704 interface (if applicable to the current
configuration):
1. AIS (Alarm Indication Signal)
2. BER (Excessive Bit Error Rate)
3. LOMFA (Loss of Multi-Frame Alignment)
4. LOF (Loss of Frame)
5. LOS (Loss of Signal)
6. RAI (Remote Alarm Indication)
7. Slip
