section of the
Status
page.
Rate
Upload and download speeds in kilobytes per second.
Max Rate
Maximum speed attained while uploading and downloading the data in
kilobytes per second.
Noise Margin
Current downstream and upstream noise margin in dB.
Attenuation
Current downstream and upstream DSL attenuation in dB.
Output Power
Current downstream and upstream DSL transmit and receive power in dB.
Protocol
Protocol used to communicate between your gateway and your ISP
.
Channel
Setting in this field is determined by your ISP’s DSLAM equipment. Values are
Fast or Interleaved.
DSLAM Vendor
Information
Lists information about the DSLAM, including country, DSLAM vendor, and
specifics.
Rate Cap
Configured DSL service downstream speed.
Attenuation @ 300kHz
Measurement of the decrease in downstream signal strength in kilobytes per
second.
Required Impulse Noise
Protection
Measurement of how much impulse noise can be mitigated. Dependent on
the current line configuration.
Uncanceled Echo
Measurement of the uncancelled echo relative to the background noise on the
line. This is an indication of how much the uncancelled echo is affecting DSL
performance, rather than an absolute measurement of the uncancelled echo.
VCXO Frequency Offset
Indicates the difference of crystal frequency in parts per million (ppm) on the
ports of the gateway and the DSLAM.
Final Receive Gain
Indicates the current receive gain setting (in dB), which will depend on the
length of the DSL line.
Excessive Impulse Noise
Indicates to what degree impulse noise is present on the line.
Parameter
Description
Transmit
Cumulative number of bytes, IP packets, errors, and percentage of errors
transmitted.
Recieve
Cumulative number of bytes, IP packets, errors, and percentage of errors
received.

and the elapsed time since the last line search initialization.
Loss of Signal Failures
Number of DSL loss of signal failures since the 2Wire gateway was last
restarted, and the elapsed time since the last loss of signal failure.
Loss of Power Failures
Number of DSL loss of power indications from the ATU-C since the gateway
was last restarted, and the elapsed time since the last loss of power
indication.
Loss of Margin Failures
Number of DSL loss-of-margin failures at current data rate since the 2Wire
gateway was last restarted, and the elapsed time since the last loss of
margin failure.
Cum. Sec. w/Impulsive Events
Number of impulsively errored seconds since the gateway was last restarted,
and the elapsed time since the last impulsively errored second.
Cum. Seconds w/Errors
Number of cumulative errored seconds since the gateway was last restarted,
and the elapsed time since the last error.
Cum. Sec. w/Severe Errors
Number of severely errored seconds since the gateway was last restarted,
and the elapsed time since the last severely errored second.
Corrected Blocks
Number of corrected DSL superframes that have data errors detected during
reception.

Resetting Statistics on Status Page
After rectifying the issues that are seen in different sections of the
Status
page, you must reset
this page to determine if the issue is resolved. To do this, click the
Reset Statistics
button at the
bottom of the
Status
page.
Configuring Bridge Mode
Objective
To configure bridge mode.
Bridge mode is used to configure devices on the LAN with a broadband IP
. When the gateway is into
bridge mode you can use a supplementary network or a third party router to handle the traffic. The
gateway will only function as a direct connection to the phone line.
Note
By default, the gateway is configured in the routing mode. When routing is disabled, the
NAT and the DHCP server are also disabled. Confirm with the ISP that the WAN protocol is
compatible with bridging mode.
Uncorrectable Blocks
Number of uncorrected DSL superframes that have data errors detected.
DSL Unavailable Seconds
Number of times the ISP connection was established since the statistics were
last reset, and the elapsed time since the last establishment.

Configuring Broadband Settings
Steps
1.
Navigate to
Settings
>
Broadband
>
Link Configuration
. Configure the following section of
the
Link Configuration
page to enable the bridge mode and add supplementary networks:
2.
Select the
Use Broadband IPs on LAN
check box. This enables bridge mode on the
gateway.
3.
Enter the subnet mask address in the
Specify usable subnet mask
text box. You must
specify this address on the LAN devices or supplementary network devices while
configuring the subnet mask. The recommended subnet mask address is 255.255.255.0.
4.
Select the
Auto Firewall Open
check box. This disables the firewall of the gateway. Make
sure that you select this option because the firewall must be disabled for the bridge mode
to function.
5.
Select the
Use the built-in system MAC address
radio button from the
System MAC
Address
section to use the configured MAC address.
OR
Select the
Override the built-in MAC address
radio button from the
System MAC Address
section, and mention a MAC address of your choice in the
Specify MAC address
text box.
6.
Leave the
Upstream MTU
value as is. This is the maximum size allowed on packets that
are communicated between your network and your ISP
.
7.
Select the
Add Additional Network
check box to tail a router from the
Local Ethernet
port
located at the back panel of the gateway. This adds a secondary network to the broadband
WAN interface.
8.
Enter the gateway address of the supplementary network device in the
Router Address
text
box. This is the gateway address of the secondary subnet.

9.
Enter the
Subnet Mask
address in the text box. This is the router mask of the secondary
subnet.
10.
Select the
Auto Firewall Open
check box to disable the firewall for all devices using
addresses from this subnet.
11.
Clear the
Routing
check box to ensure that the gateway does not assign IP addresses to
LAN devices through DHCP
.
12.
Click
Save
.
The bridge mode is enabled on the gateway, and LAN devices are configured to take the Broadband
IP address. The service LED on the front panel of the device remains off when the gateway is in
bridge mode. The supplementary network represented by the router is tailed to the gateway.
Adding Static Routes
Objective
To add static routes.
This task lets you manually configure static routes for specifying the transmission path that the
data must follow between devices outside the gateway network.
