5.5.2 Status – ADSL Status
Displays the status of your ADSL connection. It will refresh every two seconds.
Showtime Firmware Version: This field displays the Conexant ADSL data pump
firmware version number.
ADSL Line Status: This field displays the ADSL connection process and status.
ADSL Modulation: This field displays the ADSL modulation status for G.dmt or
T1.413.
ADSL Annex Mode: This field displays the ADSL annex modes for Annex A or
Annex B.
ADSL Startup Attempts: This field displays the ADSL connection attempts after loss of
showtime.
ADSL Max Tx Power: This field displays the transmit output power level of the CPE.
ADSL CO Vendor: This field displays the Central Office DSLAM vendor name, if
available.
Elapsed Time: This field displays the time of the homestation has been in operation.
SNR Margin: Amount of increased noise that can be tolerated while maintaining the
designed BER (bit error rate). The SNR Margin is set by Central Office DSLAM. If the
SNR Margin is increased, bit error rate performance will improve, but the data rate will
decrease. Conversely, if the SNR Margin is decreased, bit error rate performance will
decrease, but the data rate will increase.
Line Attenuation: Attenuation is the decrease in magnitude of the ADSL line signal
between the transmitter (Central Office DSLAM) and the receiver (Client ADSL
Homestation), measured in dB. It is measured by calculating the difference in dB between
the
signal power level received at the Client ADSL homestation and the reference signal power
level transmitted from the Central Office DSLAM.
Errored Seconds: The error during Showtime, whenever, a given sec contains CRC
error, that second will be declared error second.
Loss of Signal: This field displays the count of event of ADSL signal loss.
Loss of Frame: This field displays the count of event of ADSL frame loss.
CRC Errors: This field displays the number of transmit data frames containing CRC
errors.
Data Rate: This field displays the ADSL data rate.
Latency: This field displays the latency modes for fast or interleave.
