HDSL Margin
You can view the current HDSL loop margin values, measured in dB, for the
local and remote HDSL loop. The listed values represent the margin relative
to a signal-to-noise ratio required for a Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10
-7
. A margin
value greater than zero indicates a performance of better than 10
-7
. The
system provides a minimum margin of 6 dB, which translates to a
performance of 10
-10
BER or better.
