Noise margin operation
Introduction
The line tolerates a certain level of random frequency voltage (noise) with respect to its
received signal. Noise margins are defined in decibels (dB). A BER of 10
-7
represents 0dB.
Behavior
At train-up the ADSL transceiver unit (ATU) attempts to reduce the output power if the
maximum noise level is exceeded. If the noise drops below a minimum margin, the ATU
attempts to increase the power output until the noise level is at or above the configured
minimum.

LIM power vs. noise
On many loops, a Stinger ADSL or ADSL2+ LIM uses large power margins. To avoid
excessive power margins, you can configure the Stinger unit with a maximum
downstream noise margin value that it translates into a maximum power output value. The
Stinger unit attempts to reduce the transmit power by a maximum of 12dB to achieve the
desired maximum downstream noise margin.
On clean short loops with low requested rates, the margin might still be high but the output
power is reduced. Power reduction is more significant on short loops where the requested
downstream rates are less than the maximum possible—the lower the requested rate, the
lower the transmit power.
Recommended power margin
For a system with typical noise patterns, set the maximum margin to a value close to 8dB.
For a system with greater noise patterns, you can set a higher value.
