The Nomus Gateway 2M/2W modem utilizes G.SHDSL technology, as per ITU G.991.2
combining the best of TC-PAM, SDSL and HDSL2 to achieve a faster and more
efficient data transmission, over a 2-wire copper cable. It uses G.SHDSL TC-PAM, G.h.
Protocol technology to automatically negotiate the most optimum speed as per the
distance and quality of the Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). The distance or range can be
increased by lowering the line rate. The minimum line rate is 192Kbps.
The Nomus Gateway 2M/2W modem is used to carry up to 2048 Kbps of Voice traffic in
G.703 E1 format or Data in V.35 or G.703 format to a distance of over 6.0 Km on a 2-
wire 24 AWG (0.5mm) copper cable. It can be used by ISPs, Corporations and
Telephone Companies, etc. to provide high-speed data communication for Internet or
Intranet Access, Frame Relay, ATM, etc.
Range of 6.0 Km on a 2-wire over 24 AWG (0.5mm) twisted cable pair for
2048Kbps. Longer distances of over 10 Kms can be obtain for lower line
rates and speeds.
Supports Internal, External and Received Clock options for the Transmit
Clock source.
Two Gateway 2M/2W modems with G.703 interface are used to extend the E1 interface
from the exchange to the RAS equipment at the customer premises as shown in Figure
1.2.1.
Two Gateway 2M/2W modems with V.35 interface are used to transport data between
two subscriber premises, which are located in the same exchange area or within a
campus as shown in Figure 1.2.2.
Two Gateway 2M/2W modems with G.703 interface are used to carry voice between
two subscriber premises, which are located in the same exchange area or within a
campus as shown in Figure 1.2.3.
In case the subscribers are located in different exchange areas, a pair of Gateway
2M/2W modems with V.35 and G.703 interfaces is used to transport data between each
subscriber and exchange as shown in Figure 1.2.4.
The Gateway 2M/2W/G.703 can operate from G.703 Recovered or internal transmit
clock source.
The Gateway 2M/2W modem has a convenient Front Panel with 10 LEDs for
comprehensive status indication, besides Switches for loopback tests. An embedded
channel, which does not interfere with the data, provides setup, monitoring and
diagnostics features. Analog, Local/Remote Digital loopbacks and Test Pattern
generation & checking provide the means for trouble-shooting the lines as well as the
local and remote modems.
The modem operating parameters are determined by two DIP switches located at the
bottom of the modem. Refer Chapter 3, Installation and Configuration, for more details
of operating parameters and its configuration.
• Application Interface
There are two types of Application Interfaces available at present. They are
G.703/E1 interface is a 4-wire physical interface where one pair is for transmitting the
data and the other pair is for receiving the data. HDB3 line code is being used which is
as specified by ITU-T. E1 interface is responsible for providing the necessary framing
information. The G703/E1 interface extracts both the clock and data from incoming
stream. Alternatively, it can operate with internally generated timing also. The E1 frame
consists of 32-code words called timeslots and are numbered 0 through 31. A PCM31
frame comprises of 31 timeslots used for traffic and 1 timeslot used for synchronization.
A PCM30 frame comprises of 30 timeslots used for traffic and 2 timeslots used for
synchronization and signaling processes. Unframed data is a 2048Kbps data stream, in
which case, there is no framing information available. The G703/E1 Interface supports
both Balanced (120 Ohms) and Unbalanced (75 Ohms) modes.

2.1.1.2 V.35 Interface:
The V.35 interface is a serial synchronous interface, which will be operated in DCE
modes. This interface operates in Internal, Recovered or External clock modes at
Nx64Kbps rates. The Maximum data rate is 2304Kbps.
The DSL framer provides clock, data, and frame conversion from various PCM frame
formats to various DSL applications. The DSL framer provides full PCM termination
capabilities, including synchronization and management of E1 PRA. The DSL rate can
vary from 192Kbps to 2.304Mbps (E1 + overhead).
The transmitter receives a bit streams from the DSL framer and maps the data bits to
the appropriate Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) symbols. An optional Tomlinson-
Harashima precoder (THP) follows the PAM mapper. The signal is then processed by
the transmit filter to achieve the desired time and/or frequency domain characteristics
before being forwarded to the Analog Front End (AFE).
The receiver receives serialized data from the AFE device and from precoded symbols
from the bit pump transmitter. The precoded symbols feed into an Echo Canceller (EC)
that estimates the echo response and subtracts it from the AFE samples. The signal is
equalized using a Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE) and a Decision Feedback Equalizer
(DFE) finally; a Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) decoder recovers the information bits.
An error predictor is used as a part of the startup algorithm and as a precoder
coefficient adaptation machine during normal operation.
The G.hs block implements the G.994.1 handshaking function. The handshaking
function provides a flexible mechanism for DSL transceivers to communicate before
exchanging signals that are specific to a particular DSL recommendation or standard.
The G.994.1 standard defines the signals, messages, and procedures for exchanging
information about the capabilities of each transceiver and for selecting common modes
of operation.
The AFE performs the analog functions required for transmission and reception of
G.shdsl signals. It includes the Digital-to-Analog (D/A) and Analog-to-Digital (A/D) data
converters, anti-aliasing and post filtering circuitry, gain control blocks, and line drivers.
AFE serial digital interface connects to the DSL Framer. The serial interface protocol is
proprietary. The DSP transceiver indirectly controls the AFE. The AFE interface
consists of the line driver, impedance-matching resistors, external hybrid, and
transformer.
• Main board
The Main Boards consists of the Microcontroller and its peripherals. It provides for the
following Add-On Slots:
• Digital Interface
• DSL Slot
The Micro controller does phase acquisition and certain startup procedures for
operation of the DSP. It collects information on EOC of the xDSL signal from the
Framer. It implements the NMS operation and estimates the BER from known pattern
The Line protection circuitry is also present on the Main Board. The circuit protects the
equipment components from Lightning and other Voltage surges.
This board is either the G.703 Framer board in the Gateway 2M/2W/G.703 or the V.35
Data Board in the Gateway 2M/2W/V.35.
This board is responsible for the complete G.703 interface according to the ITU
standards. It performs transmit pulse shaping and receive equalization and clock
recovery. Transmit clock can be as recovered from the G.703 interface or internally
generated .The G.703 board also performs E1 framing on the transmit direction and
synchronizes to received E1 frames in the receive direction. The data is then
exchanged between the G.703 interface and the DSL interface. It supports framing as
per G.704 as well as CRC generation.
This board provides all the electrical signals as required for Nx64Kbps (where N=1...36)
data operation on V.35. Transmit clock can be generated internally or recovered from
DSL framer or DTE provided clock. The received clock is recovered from the DSL
framer. This board performs the necessary buffering between the V.35 Nx64 interface
and the DSL interface. It also performs diagnostics such as Test Pattern generation and
checking.
The DSL board consists of the DSL Framer, AFE and the Line interface with Hybrid.
The Data interchanged between the two DSL units is provided to the Digital Interface
from this board.
3.1 Unpacking
Check for accessories as per the checklist pasted on the modem packing box. Do not
dispose the box in case user need to store the modem or ship it in the future. The box
should contain the following items.
• Cables:
• Power Cord (AC & DC both for Dual power G.703 interface modem)
• Do not place it near other equipment that can emit strong electromagnetic
radiation, e.g. Transformers, power rectifiers etc.
• Position it so that user can easily see and access the front panel and its
control indicators. Leave enough clearance at the back for cables and
wires.
If the Loop Resistance is higher than the specified limit, then the modems
will not connect. If the Loop Resistance is within the specified limit and
• Crosstalk: In a multi-pair cable bundle, make sure that the wires of cable
pairs are not inter-changed, i.e. wire A of Pair 1 is not connected to wire B
of Pair 2 and vice versa. This will result in crosstalk and data errors.
• Open Joints: There should not be any open joints in the cable pair as they
carry high frequency signals. Ensure that the joints are proper and cover
the open joints with insulation tape.
• Bridged Taps: There should not be any long Bridged Taps. Bridge Taps
are unused pairs connected in parallel to the twisted pairs being used.
Warning!
Or
AC power: Plug the power connector into an AC outlet having a voltage rating between
180 – 240 VAC with a minimum of 5A load capacity. Position the modem within 2m of a
power outlet.
DC power: Connect the modem to a DC power source as described below. The Power
cable for –48V DC is terminated on a three-pin tag block connector.
2. Connect the +48VDC source to the Red wire on the tag block.
3. Connect the -48VDC source to the Black wire on the tag block.
4. DC power cable length should not exceed 15 meters of length from the
power source.
The Gateway 2M/2W uses multi-stage line protection circuit. A hybrid fast response
protection device is used in conjunction with Earth to divert high energy to Earth during
ESD and lightning strikes. But poor Earthing may cause data errors at higher line
speeds. So Gateway 2M/2W provides the options of using either the Power Earth or
External Earth.
By default, the Gateway 2M/2W uses the Earth from user’s power connection for the
protective Earth as well. Alternately, it has an External Protective Earth terminal ‘PE’
which can be used in circumstance where the Power Earth is not available or where the
Infrastructure provides a good External Earthing.
To use the External Earthing remove the Loop Connector JPP provided inside the
modem on the board (PCB), as shown in the Fig 3.7 below. Connect the Protective
Earth Terminal, located on the rear panel of the modem, to a known good External
Earth with a strap (not provided with the modem).
Where there is no provision for proper Power Earth or External Protective Earth, the
Modem Performance may be affected with occasional bursts of Errors. In such a
situation, the user may Open the Loop Connector JPP to improve the performance and
reduce errors. However, this will compromise the safety of the equipment and Nomus
strongly recommends that proper Earthing be provided through the Power Socket or a
good External Protective Earth Terminal.
Warning!
While opening the Top cover of the modem to open or close the JPP loop connector,
make sure the EE link of the Protection Earth Terminal is not removed accidentally
from the modem board. And it is connected back properly, if removed while opening
the Top cover of the modem.
An RJ45 socket marked DSL LINE is used for the line connection. For making the line
connection the RJ45 cable is provided with RJ45 jack on one end and terminal strips at
the other end marked with LINE. Connect the line to the terminal strip marked with LINE
and connect the other end of the same cable to the RJ1-DSL LINE socket on the rear
panel of the modem. Also refer Annex-E for more details.
An RJ45 cable is provided with an RJ45 jack on one end and terminal strip at
the other end which is marked with TX and RX. Insert the RJ45 jack in to
RJ45 connector marked G.703 on the rear panel and connect the 4 wires
from the PCM/E1 to the terminal strip appropriately and make sure the
connection is reliable. The Orange & Orange white wires are TX and Green &
Green white wires are RX. Also refer Annex-D for more details
In the Gateway 2M/2W, connect the V.35 (or optionally RS530/X.21) Cable (not
provided) from the DTE to the Digital Connector provided at the rear of the Gateway
2M/2W. Refer Annex-B for V.35 Interface (Annex-C for RS530) connector details.
Tighten the support screws to make a reliable connection.
Interface Type : E1
3. The DIP switches SW1-4,5,6,7,8 are used for Data Rate (n x 64 Kbps)
selection for the modem with G.703 interface as per Table 3.10.5A. If the
modem is with V.35 interface, the DIP switches SW1-4,5,6,7,8 and SW2-1
are used for Data Rate (n x 64 Kbps) selection as per Table 3.10.5B. By
default, 2,048 Kbps (2 Mbps) operation is selected.
4. In Framed mode, Switches SW2-1,2,3,4,5 are used for the Starting Time
Slot selection as per Table 3.10.6. In Framed mode, Time Slot 0 is used
for Sync information. Data can start from Time Slot 1 or any later Time
Slot there after. When an N value of 32 is selected, the interface operates
in Unframed mode. Invalid Time Slot selection causes the 4 Red FP LEDs
to blink at Power On. By default these Switches are OFF as default
configuration is Unframed, 2048Kbps.
8. In a V.35 modem, user can select different clock polarities for Transmit
and Receive Clocks, so that the modem can be compatible with various
makes of Routers and Multiplexers. SW2-4,5 are used for different
Receive and Transmit clock polarity selection as per Table 3.10.7. By
default these Switches are OFF.

After connecting Gateway 2M/2W to the console port of the PC, turn it ON. User will
see the current configuration of the modem. After successful connection of the Gateway
2M/2W with the remote modem, indicated by the SYN LED, user will see the ATT
(Attenuation) and NMR (Noise Margin of the Receiver) values in dB on PC. The ATT is
the Attenuation of the copper cable and the NMR is the maximum tolerable increase in
external noise power that still allows for BER of less than 1x10-7. The maximum ATT
and NMR for the below listed Distance/Loop Resistance between Central and Remote
modems should not exceed the approximate value specified in the table below for
stable connectivity.
For example, for the Distance of 6 Km and Loop Resistance of 1032 Ohms, at the Data
Rate of 2048Kbps, the ATT value should not be more than 34.5 dB in Remote and 32.5
dB in Central. The NMR value should be better or equal to +6.0 dB in Remote and 7.5
dB in Central for the best line conditions. In this case, for the BER of less than 1x10-7,
the maximum tolerable increase in external noise power is 6dB in Remote and 7.5 in
Central.
Note-4.1.: The low NMR is also indicated by the M/S LED on the front panel of the
modem. If the NMR is less than 5dB the M/S LED will blink and if the NMR
is more than the 5dB this LED will be ON/OFF depending on Master/Slave
mode selection.
This test is used to loopback the data received on the digital interface (V.35 or G.703)
of the Local modem. Once the local loopback test is initiated, an external Bit Error Rate
Tester (BERT) can be used to send a test pattern and check the received (loopback)
data for errors.
1. To initiate the Local loopback test, turn ON the power switch of the
modem.
2. Press the LL switch, TST LED indicates that Local loop is initiated.
3. When the test pattern of the BERT is turned ON, it will receive back the
transmitted data, and measure the BER.
If the DTE is connected with the modem, this test checks the satisfactory working of the
Local modem, the DTE and the connection between them as shown in Figure 4.2.1.
This test is used to loopback the data received by the Local modem on the DSL line
back to the Remote modem. Once the digital loopback test is initiated, a BERT can be
connected to the Remote modem to send a test pattern and check the received
(loopback) data for errors.
1. Make the power connections and the channel (line) connection of the
Local modem and the Remote modem. Ensure both modems are synced
up as indicated by the SYN sync LED.
3. To initiate the test, press the DL switch once on the front panel. TST LED
will become On.
4. When the test pattern of the BERT is turned On, it will receive back the
transmitted data, and measure the BER.
If the DTE is connected with the Remote modem, this test checks the satisfactory
working of the Local modem, the Remote modem, DTE connected to the Remote
modem and the connection between them as shown in Figure 4.2.2.
This test is initiated by the Local modem and is used to loopback the data received by
the Remote modem on the DSL line back to the Local modem. Once the remote
loopback test is initiated, a BERT can be connected to the Local modem to send a test
pattern and check the received (loopback) data for errors. With this test, one can verify
the same things as with digital loopback test. The only difference is that the loop is not
made on the Remote modem, but on the Local modem. This can be necessary when,
for example, the remote modem can not initiate digital loopback.
1. Make the power connections and the channel (line) connection of the
Local modem and the Remote modem. Ensure both modems are synced
up as indicated by the SYN sync LED.
3. To initiate the test, press the RL switch once on the front panel. TST LED
will become On on Local modem and on Remote modem TST LED will
start blinking.
4. When the test pattern of the BERT is turned On, it will receive back the
transmitted data, and measure the BER.
If the DTE is connected with the Remote modem, this test checks the satisfactory
working of the Local modem, the Remote modem, DTE connected to the Remote
modem and the connection between them as shown in Figure 4.2.3.
Whether a test is in progress or not, pressing the TP will cause the modem to ignore
data received on the Digital Interface from the DTE. It will cause the modem to
generate a pseudo-random 511 (2e9) pattern and transmit it on the line. It will
simultaneously check all incoming data for the 511 pattern. If the 511 pattern is
received without errors, the TP LED will stay ON. If the 511 pattern is received with
errors, the HiB LED will blink whenever there are errors. This test can be used in
conjunction with the Digital Loopback, Remote Loopback and Far-end Remote
Loopback tests, particularly when a BERT is not available. This test cannot be used
in conjunction with Local Loopback test.
1. Make the power connections and the DSL Line connections of the Local
modem and the Remote modem. Ensure both modems are synced up as
indicated by the SYN sync LED.
2. Loop the line at the remote side, by pressing the RL switch at the local
side or the DL Switch on the remote side.
3. Press the TP Switch of the local modem, TP LED on the front panel will
be on. The TP LED will blinking, indicating that the Test Pattern is syncing
and will become stable after Test pattern sync. If the received signal has
errors the Hib LED will blink.
Note : The desired test (DL or RL) has to be applied first and then the test
pattern (TP) has to be initiated for accurate results
4. Alternately, press the TP Switch of both the local and remote modems,
and observe the status of HiB LED on both modems.
Note: DL, RL and TP Tests shall be automatically turned Off when the
modem looses its Synchronisation with remote modem.
Pressing RST switch will cause the modem to initiate the start up sequence as
explained in the operation procedure. During this time, the data through the modem will
be disrupted until it returns to normal operation.
Please do not ship physical modem from the site without confirmation from our end.
