10.4 SpeedTouch™ Identification on AWS
Information Exchange The SpeedTouch™ exchanges some variables after the DSL synchronisation with
the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer). These variables are hard-
coded into the SpeedTouch™.
The following variables are exchanged:
 Chipset vendor ID:
For example the SpeedTouch™620 chipset vendor ID will be “BCM”
 Software version number:
The software version number is retrieved from the ENV variables
_PRODNUMBER + _BUILD.
For example the SpeedTouch™620 software version number will be “620
5.3.2”.
 Serial number:
The Serial number is retrieved from the ENV variables
BOARDSERIAL_NBR + _PRL.
For example the SpeedTouch™620 Serial number can be
“CP0452JT02D DSLBB620AA”.
 Self test result:
The self test result will be retrieved from an ENV variable.

information using the adsl config CLI command:

 Streamline customer support operation, and so it is mandatory to see which
CPE is attached to a certain port on the DSLAM.
