10.7. Technology-Specific Guidelines

In addition to the technology-independent SM classes described, the SM standard T1.417 also contains technology-specific guidelines. In the first issue of T1.417, there is one specific underlying technology, namely, pulse amplitude modulation; however, there are three distinct families of technology specific guidelines. The technology specific guidelines include 2B1Q-based SDSL, PAM per G.991.2 Annex A, and PAM per HDSL4 using 776/784 kb/s asymmetric PSDS.
