1.0 Introduction
The
Model 458-LM-HDE ADSL2++ Local Loop Simulator simulates 0.4 mm PE as specified
in G.996.1 Annex A, ETSI ETR 328 ADSL and ETSI TS 101 388. This plug and play
line module provides 8 channels with loop lengths from 0 km to 9,450 m in 150-m
increments (ch1) and 0 to 9,000 m in 600-m increments (ch2-8).
Other
features include:
- Bandwidth to 4.5 MHz
- Accurately
simulates attenuation and impedance
- 8 channels per line module
- Plugs into our 458-CC (16-slot chassis) or 458-2SL (2-slot
chassis)
- Independent
control of each channel
- Ability
to open loop at either end of any channel

3.0 Connections
3.1 458-LM-HDE
The
input and output ports are interchangeable (i.e., the unit is bidirectional).
The cable pair is accessible through the RJ-45 jacks on the front and rear of
the line module. The two center contacts, Tip and Ring (pins 4 and 5), of each
RJ-45 are supported. Refer to Figure 2 for the configuration of the RJ-45 jack.
i Do not exceed the maximum
ratings as listed in section 2.0, “Specifications.”
For best accuracy, the I/O
cables should be limited to 3 m or less.

3.2.1 Connections
458-CM/458-2SL - RS232 Control
A
“straight-through” serial cable (not a “crossover”) is used to connect the
RS-232 control unit to the Telebyte chassis. The Model 458-CM(-2SL) is
completely controllable from an RS-232 source. The following section explains
the connections and the controls necessary for RS-232 operation. See Figure 4
for an illustration of the pin connectors

Figure 4 DB-9 for RS-232
Control
Pin 2
on the Model 458-CM(-2SL) connects to the RECEIVED DATA pin in the
Communications Port Connector on the PC or controller.
Pin 3
on the Model 458-CM(-2SL) connects to the TRANSMIT DATA pin in the
Communications Port Connector on the PC or controller.
Pin 5
on the Model 458-CM(-2SL) connects to the GROUND pin in the Communications Port
Connector on the PC or controller.
Pins 6
and 8 are connected together and held at a positive voltage.
Common
Communications Port Connectors, such as those found on PCs, are DB-9 and DB-25.

3.2.2 Connections 458-CM/458-2SL IEEE488 Control
The
Model 458-CM(-2SL) is completely controllable from an IEEE 488.1 (488.2)
source. The following section explains the connections and controls necessary
for IEEE operation.
ASCII
command set compliant with IEEE 488.2 and in Hex ASCII two-character bytes per
488 bus data byte.

Interface Bus controller.
User Command Interface
The
Model 458-CM(-2SL) is intended to be operated from an IEEE Controller such as a
PC equipped with an IEEE interface board. The set up of your computer and IEEE
controller board may be different depending on the manufacturer of your
equipment. Follow the set up instructions supplied with your equipment.
4.0 Control
The
Model 458-LM-HDE can be controlled three ways: Via RS-232 and IEEE488 Remote
Commands, our GUI interface or the LCD display on the front panel of our
458-2SL.

4.2 Graphical User Interface
The
458-LM-HDx Graphical User Interface (GUI) can be used to control the Model
458-LM-HDE. The following are brief instructions for working with the GUI using
a typical set up.

number and line module type are displayed in the Line Modules section. Please
note that while a line module may display, it cannot be controlled by the
458-LM-HDx software unless it is a 458-LM-HDE.
Working with Channels
The
four main settings that control channel lengths are All HDx Channels, Channel 1, HDx Slot and All-LM-20.
All HDx Channels/Channel 1: when All HDx
Channels is checked, Channels 2-8 are populated with the value in Channel 1. If
not checked, channel fields may be set independently.
Slot: indicates which slots in the
connected chassis are affected.
The following is a sample of the variations available.
For illustrative purposes, Channel 1 lengths are set to 1000.

Instructions
1. Turn
on power. The LCD displays “Model 458-2SL” and then displays the board,
channel, line length and connect mode.
2. Rotary
encoder 1 will increment the channel number for the current board and, when it
reaches the final channel, display the next board number.
3. Rotary
encoder 2 will increment the allowable line length for a given board:channel
combination. The connect mode displays automatically.
