NOTE:
You may see both lines sync, drop, and then re-sync again.

This is typical for bonded lines. The modems include a test

probe that syncs both pairs, drops, and then re-syncs in

bonded mode.

Connecting to bonded pairs at the NID/demarc

1. Using the RJ-45 “Y” cable, connect the single end of the “Y” test cable to the jack on

the side of the OneExpert DSL.

2. Connect the blue end of the cable to Modem 1 and the orange end of the cable to

Modem 2 on the NID/demarc.

The line is connected. The modems begin to train on the lines automatically.

Testing the physical layer

You can use the OneExpert DSL to test the physical layer of the xDSL link.
To perform a basic DSL link test

1. Connect to the line and allow the unit to train on the line. If the unit achieves sync, you

have verified the physical layer.

Testing line quality

Once connected to the line, the OneExpert DSL gathers statistics for the line. These statistics

are used to determine the line quality.

1. Connect to the line. See

Connecting to the line on page 90

The modem begins the training process automatically. When it reaches show time, the

OneExpert DSL begins gathering statistics.

2. Use the

Connection Details

and

DSL Graph

buttons to view different types of

statistics.

If the unit achieves sync at the desired data rates, noise margins, and attenuation, the

DSL link is good.

3. Use the Tray menu to save the results. See

Saving a report on page 66

4. For more information on the results, see

DSL/G.fast Results on page 282
