About xDSL and G.fast testing
The purpose of the DSL tests are to assess the quality of the xDSL signal and to verify the xDSL
or G.fast data rates achieved at various points in the network.
The tests involve three main steps:
• Selecting the test mode and specifying test settings
• Connecting to the line
• Running the tests
Supporting test modules and software options
Three test modules are available for xDSL testing:
• The ONX-BDCM-DSL-ANXAB test module supports Annex A/B Single testing.
• The ONX580-BONDED test module supports xDSL testing over two pairs. Bonded
xDSL testing also requires the ONX580-BONDED software option.
• The ONX-BDCM-GFAST test module supports Annex A Single & Bonded, xDSL
testing over two pairs, and xDSL testing over a G.fast line. Bonded xDSL testing also
requires the ONX580-BONDED software option. xDSL G.fast testing also requires the
ONX580-GFAST software option.
• The ONX-TM-GFAST test module contains two chipsets: Broadcom 63138 and Sckipio
1001. The Broadcom 63138 supports Annex A Single & Bonded, xDSL testing over two
pairs, and xDSL testing over a G.fast line. The Sckipio 1001 supports testing over a
G.fast line. Bonded xDSL testing requires the ONX580-BONDED software option.
VDSL 35b testing requires the ONX580-V35B software
option. Broadcom G.fast
testing also requires the ONX580-GFAST software option. Sckipio G.fast testing
requires the ONX580-GFASTSCKIPIO software option.
