CopperLink LINE Commands
Local and Remote
This will set the Ethernet Extender as Local or Remote. Local is typically used at the network, Remote is typ-
ically used at the remote device or remote network. Your CopperLink CL2300 when received in a 2pk is
already configured one CL2300 as Local and one CL2300 as Remote.
node(cfg) (prt-line) [0/0]#mode {local|remote}
Annex Type
Please consult support before changing this setting.
node~(pf)[<name>]# annex-type { b-g | a-f }
Line Rate Configuration
This will increase the line rate of the CL2300. Your CopperLink CL2300 is defaulted to automatically select
the optimal rate based on the distance (adaptive).
node(prt-line)[0/0]# payload-rate {adaptive [max <192..15296>] | <192..15296>}
Modulation Scheme
Note higher TC-PAM rates will increase maximum payload rates available but will decrease distance. Your
CopperLink CL2300 is defaulted to automatically select the optimal setting. Please consult manual for rate
reach chart to determine your optimal setting if you choose to hard set this value. Higher TC-PAM rates are
ideal for shorter cable runs offering max symmetrical (upstream/downstream) speeds of 11.4 Mbps
(TCPAM64) and 15.3 Mbps (TCPAM128) per pair.
node(prt-line)[0/0]# tcpam {auto(16/32) | auto(64/128) | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128}
CopperLink Ports
The configurations below are used to configure various aspects of the CopperLink port(s).
node~(cfg)# port line 0 0
Signal to Noise Ratio
Configures the acceptable noise margin for adaptive rate. SNR is the relative strength of the Copperlink signal
to Noise ratio. 6dB is generally the lowest dB recommended in order for the modem to be able to sync. Gener-
ally speaking, as overall bandwidth increases, your signal to noise ratio decreases. The higher the number the
better. Your CL2300 is defaulted at 6 giving you the highest likelihood to connect.
Below 6dB
bad
6dB-10dB
fair
11dB-20dB
good
node(prt-line)[0/0]# snr-margin <-10..22>
