The XDSL line spectrum profile groups all parameters on physical level. These parameters are
mainly related to the environmental conditions of the line (spectrum management).
The spectrum configuration profile contains parameters which have a common value for all
ADSLx flavors (Common) and parameters which have a specific value depending on the ADSLx
flavor used (ADSL1/2, READSL2, ADSL2Plus). The actual selected operating mode determines
which set of ADSLx specific parameters is used. In case a common parameter is not supported
for a specific ADSLx flavor, this parameter will be ignored for that flavor.
The XDSL line service profile groups all parameters on service level (data rates, delay, …). These
parameters are mainly related to the configuration of the XDSL Channel interface.
The service parameters are common for all ADSLx flavors. In case a parameter is not supported
for a specific ADSLx flavor, this parameter will be ignored for that flavor.

As well as creating the profiles on the NE, you can create templates at AMS level.
Use the template perspective to create templates at AMS level. They can be downloaded
afterwards to NE’s or NE-groups.
• downloaded to NE
Groups
• removed from NE
Create template group • renamed
• merged
A template group can contain several types of profiles. Whenever you create e.g. an XDSL
service profile, you have to specify to which template group it belongs.
You can download a template group to an NE or even to an NE group.

Configuration of:
• Rate adaptation mode
• Net bit rates
• Latency characteristics
o max. interleaving delay
o min. INP
o Erasure detection
13
The defined interleaving delay will determine the interleaving depth (also taken into account is
the actual line rate). These decisions are taken by the xTU-C (in the DSLAM).
Reed-Solomon coding is used for impulse noise protection. In the xDSL line spectrum profile you
can fill in how many symbols may be affected by a noise burst without causing unrepairable
damage. This parameter will also have effect on the interleaving depth.
Most bursts of noise affect less than one DMT, but it is possible that a burst is longer (e.g. from
4 to 10 DMT symbols). If you fill in a value of 2 symbols to be protected, you already have a
good protection for data traffic (for video, it is recommended to have a minimum INP of 4 DMT
symbols). You don’t need to introduce too much delay (e.g. max. 8 or 16 ms is sufficient).
Obviously, the INP parameter is related to the interleaving delay.
When you fill in the bit rate values, there’s no link to which xDSL is used, so you’ll have to pay
attention to what port it will be applied (ADSLx, ADSL2+ & VDSL)!
15
It is better to allow all VDSL2 profiles and restrict specific operational parameters via the other
configuration tabs. Like this you might avoid that a modem doesn´t want to enter showtime
because it couldn´t support the requested profile. By allowing all VDSL2 profiles you avoid this

While the current ADSL standard (G.992.1) specifies a downstream frequency band up to 1.1
Mhz, ADSL2+ specifies a downstream frequency up to 2.2 Mhz. The result is a significant
increase in data rates on shorter phone lines.
19
You specify a minimum noise margin, target noise margin and maximum noise margin.
The configured value for the maximum noise margin can be any value from 0 dB until 31
dB. The value of 51.1 dB means that there’s no limit.

In the ADSL line profile the maximum additional noise margin is used.
In the xDSL line spectrum profile the maximum noise margin is used.
ADSL1 modems always adjust their power settings in order to reach the maximum noise
margin whenever possible.
ADSL2(+) modems can do power savings and may go for a lower noise margin (no matter
what you configure as a maximum noise margin!)

For each RFI Band, the RFI type, egress control and the ingress level is specified.
The ingress level and RFI type are specified for information of the XDSL modem subsystem such
that it can be taken into account at initialization.
RF Band: [start frequency, stop frequency]
frequency: 0 – 12000 kHz
RFI Type:
HAM
AM (not included in standard)
Only HAM band support is defined in the standard. As HAM & AM are 2 different types of
signal modulation they will also behave differently PSD wise. So if the modem also supports
AM RFI signal types this might mean a different manipulation of the PSD mask in that
region.
HAM bands are standardized worldwide, but there are local differences.
In the XDSL line spectrum profile you can define 8 hamming bands. Default there are 4,
but you can create new ones (modify).
The fact that all this information can be provided means that it’s also part of the MIB and that it
can be signaled to the xDSL modem. The xDSL modem can then take appropriate actions based
upon this information. (philosophy: the more information we provide the better, what the
modem actually supports is another story)

Ingress control
• Operator informs modem of possible disturbance level of RFI bands
• Modem could decide not to charge those frequencies too heavily
24
Egress control:
Notched: PSD level will be reduced below -80 dBm/Hz
No control: no notching required for that band
Ingress level:
Low: ingress level can be neglected
Weak: expected ingress level is weak (at -30dBm@LT / -20dBm@NT)
