CopperLink Status Command
The
status
command shows the following CopperLink line status information: sync state, link state, link
speed, error counters, line condition, noise margin, and test mode status.
The following status information is available through the Command Line Interface:
•
sync state
:
Out of Sync
,
Acquiring Sync
,
In Sync
, or
Losing Sync
•
link state
:

Note
Link State vs. Sync State
—The
Link State
describes whether the Copper-
Link line is training (in progress), linked (success), deactivated (we don’t
have an option to deactivate the modem, so the user should not see this), or
idle.
The
Sync State
describes whether no sync words have been found (out of
sync), there are no sync word errors (in sync), or whether we are transition-
ing from out of sync to in sync (acquiring sync) or vice versa (losing sync).
Typically, when the link is training, the sync state goes from out of sync to
acquiring sync to in sync.
•
actual rate
: The actual rate at which the link is running (minus overhead).
•
noise margin
: The maximum tolerable increase in external noise power that still allows for BER of less than
1x 10–
7
.
•
error counters
: The following error counters are available: CRC and LOSW (Loss of Sync Word)
