When an HDSL2 based service is installed, the HDSL2 transceivers need to be configured automatically. The initialization process for an HDSL2 connection has the following phases: “Wake-up,” preactivation, core activation, and data mode. A typical startup time for HDSL2 initialization may range from 15 to 30 seconds. This section provides a brief overview of the HDSL2 initialization procedure.

The main objectives of the initialization process are to

  • Determine the operation settings, for example, the transmit signal power level.
