Users Guide
Auto Test Showtime Once a connection is made and the test is complete, the ADSL test results are
shown on the screen. The user can scroll through the test data using the Up/
Down arrow keys. The user may also transition to screens displaying either
Bits Per Bin Graphs or Alarm Status.
Manual Test Manual test allows the user to test the ADSL service until manually
terminated. The results are continuously updated and displayed until the user
terminates the test.
To start Manual test, press F3 - Manual. The screen indicates that the test set is
attempting a connection.
To stop Manual test, press F2 - Discon.
Manual Test
Showtime Once a connection is made and the results have been collected, the data is
shown on the screen. There is an activity counter that is an elapsed time
counter. The maximum time allowed for the elapsed counter is 99:59. The user
can:
1 Scroll through the test data using the
Up/Down
arrow keys.
2 Make a selection from the Showtime Display screen to transition to
screens displaying Bits Per Bin Graphs or Alarm Status.
Auto and Manual
ADSL Test Results The following obtained upstream and downstream results are shown on both
the Showtime Display screens for Manual Test and Auto Test:
MaxB/R (Maximum Bit Rate): Displays the maximum attainable bit rate.
Results are presented in kbits/s. The measured values for upstream and
downstream should be greater than or equal to the minimum bit rate set in
the ATU-C.
B/Rate (Bit Rate): Displays the achieved Fast bit rate data path. Results are
presented in kbits/s. The measured values for upstream and downstream
should be greater than or equal to the minimum bit rate set in the ATU-C. The
result may be 0 if the Interleaved data path has been enabled by the ATU-C
Capac: Displays the capacity of the line as a ratio of achieved bit rate (B/Rate
or IntB/R) over the maximum attainable bit rate. Results are presented as a
percentage (%). A lower capacity reading generally implies greater noise
immunity.
IntB/R (Interleaved Bit Rate): Displays the achieved interleaved bit rate. Results
are presented in kbits/s. The measured values for upstream and downstream
should be greater than the minimum bit rate set in the ATU-C. The result may
be 0 if the Fast data path is turned on in the ATU-C.
NseMar (Noise Margin): Displays the realized noise margin. This is the amount
of increased noise relative to the measured noise power that the system
would be able to tolerate to maintain a bit error rate less than 10
-7
. Results are
presented in dB. The industry standard is for a minimum value of 6 dB.
