Parameter Description 
Status
Line Status: 
Shows the current status of the ADSL 
line. 
Data Rate: 
Downstream: 
Actual and maximum downstream 
data rate. 
Upstream: 
Actual and maximum upstream data 
rate.
Operation Data/Defect Indication: 
Noise Margin Upstream: 
Minimum noise margin 
upstream
Downstream:
Minimum noise margin downstream
Output Power:
Maximum f luctuation in the output 
power
Attenuation Upstream: 
Maximum reduction in the 
strength of the upstream signal
Attenuation Downstream:
Maximum reduction in the 
strength of the downstream signal
Fast Path FEC: 
There are two latency paths that 
may be used: fast and Correction interleaved. For 
either path a forward error correction (FEC) scheme 
is employed to ensure higher data integrity. For 
maximum noise immunity, an interleaver may be used 
to supplement FEC. Interleaved Path An interleaver 
is basically a buffer used to introduce a delay, FEC 
Correction allowing for additional error correction 
techniques to handle noise. Interleaving slows the 
data flow and may not be optimal for real-time signals 
such as video transmission.
Fast Path CRC indicates the number of Fast Path 
Cyclic Redundancy Check Error errors. Interleaved 
Path indicates the number of Interleaved Path Cyclic 
Redundancy Error Check errors. 
Loss of Signal Momentary signal discontinuities. 
Defect Loss of Frame Failures due to loss of frames.
Loss of Power Defect:
Failures due to loss of power.
Fast Path HEC Error: 
Fast Path Header Error 
Concealment errors.
Interleaved Path HEC Error:
Interleaved Path Header 
Error Concealment errors.
Statistics: 
(Superframes represent the highest 
level of data presentation which is used to provide 
superframe synchronization, identifying the start of 
a superframe. Some of the remaining frames are also 
used for special functions).
Received Cells:
Number of interleaved superframes 
received Interleaved.
Transmitted Cells: 
Number of interleaved super 
frames transmitted Superframes Interleaved.
Received Number of fast super frames received.
Superframes Fast
Transmitted Number of fast super frames transmitted.
