ADSL STATUS
window displays the
current state of the GARNET SYSTEMS CO.LTD. ADSL connection,
including current ADSL State, ADSL rotocol in use and the net data rates for upstream and downstream
data.
NOTE:
ADSL protocols supported by the GARNET SYSTEMS CO.LTD.
drivers are T1.413, G.dmt and G.lite. The protocol must be supported also by the ADSL
equipment located at the central office. The GARNET SYSTEMS CO.LTD. drivers use the protocol that results in
the most efficient ADSL connection..
ATM / ADSL STATISTIC
window keeps tabs on errors that might affect overall system performance.
The counts are reset whenever the PC system is restarted.
Re-training Count
tracks the number of ADSL connections performed. Due to unexpected line condition
changes, the GARNET SYSTEMS CO.LTD. drivers can retrain the connection causing the
Re-training
Count
total to increment. The Diagnostic Tool icon will flash yellow while reconnecting.
.
ADSL
implements Reed Solomon (RS) error checking:
.
FEC Count
tracks the forward error correction count.
.
CRC Count
tracks the accuracy of correcting data errors over each 17msec.
.
ATM HEC Count
(header error check) errors are recorded as an indication of ATM
packet accuracy.
.
As a measure of packet transfer performance, the
Packet Errors
are counted and tracked
against the total number of
Packets Receive
d. An error rate of less than 0.1% is reasonable under clean
ADSL line conditions.
.
If you have Bad Received Packets and are concerned about your service, multiply the
Bad Received
Packets
count by 1000 and compare the result with the total
Packets
Received
count. If the number is smaller than the total
Packets Received
count, then the board is
operating normally.
