Example of Sub-Menu # 2: Traffic Statistics
DSL Status/Configuration
You use the DSL Status/Configuration screen to configure a DSL LAN Extender device as either the CO
or CP device. This screen also allows you to define the DSL line rate and displa ys information about the
status of the DSL connection, including the operation mode of CO or CP, whether the link is up or down,
line rate selected, actual line rate and the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the DSL line.
-
The Device can be changed to either CO or CP by pressing <Enter> and toggling between the two.
NOTE
: The devices work only in pairs, with one configured as CO and the other as CP. This is
already factory defaulted and this function should only be used for replacement devices that are
not configured appropriately.
-
Using the arrow keys to get to the Line Rate Selection line, you can change the Line Rate. Press the
<Enter> or <Space> key to select the appropriate speed. There are 9 available line rates settings:
2320, 2064, 1552, 1040, 784, 528, 400, 272 and 144 Kbps.
-
The Actual Line Rate shows the actual line rate in effect on the DSL line. When you connect the CO
device to a CP device, they will synchronize on the lower line rate of the two devices.
-
Link status is shown as UP or DOWN when CO and CP devices are linked up or not linked up.
-
DSL Line SNR (dB) shows the signal-to-noise ratio (in Decibels) for the received signal on the DSL
line. The normal values for 24 AWG and 26 AWG wire pairs are shown in the Appendix E.
-
Note: You must press <Ctrl-s> to save all changes.
