You Dynamic DNS host will now be configured with your current Internet IP address, and
this will be updated every time you are assigned a new IP address by EE Broadband
(usually when you restart the router).
For security purposes the Bright Box router does not allow you to remotely login to the
admin pages over the Internet, either directly through the router IP address or over a Dynamic
DNS service. You can use Dynamic DNS to access applications such a web server on your
local network in conjunction with Port Forwarding.
ADSL STATUS
You can see information on your current EE ADSL connection in the ADSL Status page. The
page displays information such as the status of your link and operation mode, along with line
synchronisation speeds, noise margins, line attenuation and error correction statistics.
This information might be useful in diagnosis of ADSL line connection issues, and could be
requested by an EE support agent.
For EE Fibre broadband, the ADSL Status page will not display line statistics and the ‘Line
Status’ will appear as ‘IDLE’
To access the ADSL line status for your ADSL broadband connection:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on System in the left hand navigation menu to expand the System menu:

The following table describes the information displayed on the ADSL Status page:
Section
Description
Link Status
This is the current synchronisation status of your
ADSL connection.
The value will display ‘IDLE’ if your ADSL connection
is unable to synchronise with broadband exchange
or you are using the EE Fibre broadband service.
The value will display ‘TRAINING’ if your ADSL
connection is currently in the process of
synchronising with the broadband exchange.
The value will display ‘SHOWTIME’ if your ADSL link
has been successfully established with the
exchange.
The ‘configured’ column for the Link Status will
always display ‘—‘.
Link Type
This is the type of ADSL link established with the
Page 193 / 207
EE Bright Box User Manual
193
broadband exchange.
The value will display either ‘Interleaved Path’ or
‘Fast Path’
The ‘configured’ column for the Link Status will
always display ‘—‘.
If the ‘current’ column displays ‘—‘ then no ADSL link
has been achieved, and may indicate a problem with
your ADSL line.
Operation Mode
This value is the ADSL operating mode as
synchronised with the broadband exchange.
The value will display ‘G992.5(ADSL2+)’ for ADSL2+
(up to 24Mbps) or ‘G.992.1 (G.DMT)’ for IPStream
(up to 8Mbps) on EE Broadband
The ‘configured’ operation mode will always display
‘Automatic’.
If the ‘current’ column displays ‘—‘ then no ADSL link
has been achieved, and may indicate a problem with
your ADSL line.
Upstream Data Rate
This value is the Upstream (Upload) ADSL data rate
in Kilobytes per seconds (Kbps.)
Please note that this is the rate synchronised with
the broadband exchange – your actual Internet
upload speeds may be lower than this value
depending on the service you are using.
Downstream Data Rate
This value is the Downstream (Download) ADSL data
rate in Kilobytes per seconds (Kbps.)
Please note that this is the rate negotiated with the
broadband exchange – your actual Internet
download speeds may be lower than this value
depending on the service you are using.
Noise Margin
These values are the upstream and downstream
Signal to Noise Margin (sometimes known as an
SNR) on your ADSL line.
This is the ratio between the strength of the signal
and the background noise on the line expressed in
decibels.
Line Attenuation
These values are the upstream and downstream
attenuation rates on your ADSL line.
This is a measure of the loss of signal strength
between your router and the broadband exchange
expressed in decibels. The further you are from your
exchange the higher the downstream attenuation
rate.
Output Power
These values are the near end (from router) and far
end (from exchange) power levels output between
your router and broadband exchange.
The output power will increase the further you are
from your exchange.
Fast Path FEC Correction
These values are the count of Forward Error
Correction (FEC) detected on the ADSL line with a
Page 194 / 207
EE Bright Box User Manual
194
Fast Path link.
Interleaved Path FEC
Correction
These values are the count of Forward Error
Correction (FEC) detected on the ADSL line with an
Interleaved Path link.
Fast Path CRC Error
These values are the count of Cyclic Redundancy
Check (CRC) errors detected on the ADSL line with a
Fast Path link. The values represent a re-sent packet
due to corruption and may indicate noise on the line.
Interleaved Path CRC Error
These values are the count of Cyclic Redundancy
Check (CRC) errors detected on the ADSL line with
an Interleaved Path link. The values represent a re-
sent packet due to corruption and may indicate
noise on the line.
Loss of Signal Defect
These values are the count of events where a
temporary loss of signal between the exchange and
the router has been recorded, but the ADSL
connection has not been lost.
Fast Path HEC Error
These values are the count of Header Error Check
(HEC) errors detected on the ADSL line with a Fast
Path link. This is a count of the errors on an ATM cell
header. A high number of HEC errors in a short time
period may cause throughput to slow down.
Interleaved Path HEC Error
These values are the count of Header Error Check
(HEC) errors detected on the ADSL line with an
Interleaved Path link. This is a count of the errors on
an ATM cell header. A high number of HEC errors in
a short time period may cause throughput to slow
down.
Error Seconds
These values are the count of the number of
seconds where at least one error has been detected
over the ADSL line.
SYSTEM LOG
The System Log shows a list of important events that have occurred since your router was
last powered on or restarted. The log can be used to troubleshoot issues with your broadband
connection, and can also be saved to a text file for later diagnostics.
The log is displayed in descending order by time (most recent events first).
To access the System Log:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.

Description of System Log entries
The following table contains a description of the entries that may appear in the Bright Box
System Log:
Section
Description
WAN link up (ADSL)
The router ADSL connection has synchronised with
the broadband exchange.
WAN link down (ADSL)
The router ADSL connection has lost its link with the
exchange after previously being connected. May
indicate a problem with the broadband line.
PPP: Starting daemon
The PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) software has
started up.
PPP: Stopped daemon
The PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) software has
stopped. You can restart the daemon by clicking the
Connect button on the Advanced Set-up >
Broadband settings page (see page 97)
