DSL Xmit Status (DSL Transmit Stats)
B-B-G
Displays the transmit and receive statistics for each of the DSL ports after selecting a
specific DSL port number. This screen is not supported for Model 8303/8304 IDSL cards.
Enter port name (for example, dsl1:1 through dsl12:1 for 12-port cards) to see the fields
for current 15-minute period (real-time count of events during the past 0–15 minutes),
previous 15-minute period (data updated every 15 minutes), previous 1-hour period (data
updated every hour), and current day, starting at 12:01 a.m. (data updated every hour).
The counters increment in real time and you may press Ctrl-r at any time to reset the
counters.
Port Name – Enter port name (for example, dsl1:1 through dsl12:1 for 12-port cards) you
wish to monitor.
NOTE: For the following fields, the difference between xmit pwr and rx gain for a given
direction (up/dn) is approximately the loop attenuation (att est) in dB.
dn xmit pwr – Measure of the power level of the downstream signal sent to the SN
(in db).
up xmit pwr – Measure of the power level of the upstream signal sent by the SN (in db).
dn rx gain – Measure of the receive level at the SN in dBm.
up rx gain – Measure of the receive level at the port card (AN) in dBm.
dn att est – Measure of the downstream transmission loss on the DSL line in dB.
up att est – Measure of the upstream transmission loss on the DSL line in dB.
