4.3.5 PPP Configuration
The
ppp
page allows user to set the sesstion name for PVCs.
Showtime Firmware Version:
This field displays the Conexant ADSL data
pump firmware version number.
ADSL Line Status:
This field displays the ADSL connection process and
status.
ADSL Modulation:
This field displays the ADSL modulation status for
G.dmt or T1.413.
ADSL Annex Mode:
This field displays the ADSL annex modes for Annex
A or Annex B.
ADSL Startup Attempts:
This field displays the ADSL connection attempts
after loss of showtime.
ADSL Max Tx Power:
This field displays the transmit output power level of
the CPE.
ADSL CO Vendor:
This field displays the Central Office DSLAM vendor
name, if available.
Elapsed Time:
This field displays the time of the modem has been in
operation.
SNR Margin:
Amount of increased noise that can be tolerated while
maintaining the designed BER (bit error rate). The SNR Margin is set by
Central Office DSLAM. If the SNR Margin is increased, bit error rate
performance will improve, but the data rate will decrease. Conversely, if
the SNR Margin is decreased, bit error rate performance will decrease, but
the data rate will increase.
Line Attenuation:
Attenuation is the decrease in magnitude of the ADSL
line signal between the transmitter (Central Office DSLAM) and the
receiver (Client ADSL Modem), measured in dB. It is measured by
calculating the difference in dB between the signal power level received at
the Client ADSL modem and the reference signal power level transmitted
from the Central Office DSLAM.
