- Line error status/counts (CES, ES, SES) 
- Any error messages from the DSLAM and/or the 
VDSL2 test set 

 

3.  The user CPE loses synchronization 

with the DSLAM when the phone 
goes off-hook 

You should have the following equipment to help you 
troubleshoot the problem: 
- Standard Telephone Test set and/or voltmeter 
 
Verify the following measurements: 

-

 Voltage in ON-HOOK state on the pair from the 

DSLAM and without the BRX-VDSL2 installed 
should be -40VDC to -60VDC 

-

 Voltage in ON-HOOK state on the pair from the 

DSLAM with the BRX-VDSL2 installed should be 
-38VDC to -58VDC 

-

 Voltage in the OFF-HOOK state on the pair from 

the DSLAM should be around 30VDC 

-

 Loop current in OFF-HOOK state on the pair 

from the DSLAM should be at least 16 mA 

-

 Loop current in the OFF-HOOK state on the pair 

toward the CPE should be at least 10 mA 

If any of these measurements are not met, you 
should make the corrections as per your corporate 
standard procedure and re-verify. 

Note: 

please note that the BRX-VDSL2-X series of 

VDSL2 amplifiers require the use of the Positron 
BRX Power Injector to properly support concurrent 
operation with a POTS service. 

4.  The user CPE loses synchronization 

with the DSLAM when the phone 
goes on-hook 

When going on-hook, it may cause a small impulse 
on the line, make sure you have INP enable in the 
DSLAM. Recommendation: US= 1 symbol, DS= 2 
symbols 

B. Performance Problems: not achieving the expected bandwidth gains

 

5.  With the BRX-VDSL2 installed on 

the copper loop, the downstream 
and/or upstream performance is not 
meeting the expected improvement 

  Verify the anticipated performance using the 

BRX-VDSL2 Calculator tool (makes sure to 
properly specify the copper gauge) 

  Verify that the actual BRX-VDSL2 location 

matches (more or less) the recommended 
location from the BRX-VDSL2 calculator 
considering the mix of various wire gauges 

  Verify the Min/Target/Max SNR settings and 

Actual SNR values in the downstream and in the 
upstream direction. A Min SNR that is too low or 
a Max SNR that is too high may prevent SRA 
from working properly. 

Verify that SRA is enabled to allow rate adaptation to 
take place and optimize the use of available 
bandwidth
