Circuit ID (idslCircuitID)
Configurable. The
Circuit ID
parameter provides a way for you to define a free-text name (character string)
that identifies each circuit (link) connected to the T-DAC. Although the table display is limited to 20 charac-
ters at a time, the T-DAC supports circuit IDs up to 40 characters long. The recommended way to use this
field is to design a structured mnemonic naming convention scheme for your application. For example, a DSL
service provider might identify each of the T-DAC’s iDSL circuits using a subscriber ID (e.g. bestcus-
[email protected]), for the subscriber to which the circuit connects. Other examples might be to use a combi-
nation of user location and sequence number (e.g. dallas25), or to use subscriber account numbers.
Current State (idslCurrentState)
The
State
parameter indicates the current real-time operating state of the port. Possible values are:
•
deactivate(0)
—Indicates that the port is not currently connected to a remote CPE modem
•
initializing(1)
—Indicates the port is being prepared for connection to a remote CPE
•
reset(2)
—Indicates the port is currently in reset mode
•
hardwareFailure(3)
—Indicates an iDSL port failure
