The number after the dot (
.
) represents the VLAN ID number assigned to traffic sent
through this connection. The number after the underscore (
_
) represents the index number
of connections through the same interface.
(null)
means the entry is not valid.
Description
This shows the descriptive name of this connection.
ATM interfaces include the VPI and VCI.
0
and
35
or
0
and
1
are the default VPI and VCI
numbers. The last number represents the index number of connections over the same PVC
or the VLAN ID number assigned to traffic sent through this connection.
(null)
means the entry is not valid.

In ASM Cells
This displays the number of ASM (Autonomous Status Message) cells received through the
port.
Out ASM Cells
This displays the number of ASM cells sent through the port.
In Packet Errors

xDSL Statistics Screen
Each field is described in the following table.
Table 8
xDSL Statistics Screen
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Mode
This field identifies the DSL mode of the DSL connection.
Traffic Type
This displays the type of traffic the DSL port is sending and receiving.
Status
This displays the current state of setting up the DSL connection.
Link Power
State
This displays the DSL connection’s current power usage or power saving mode.
null
displays
when there is no DSL connection.
Downstream
These are the statistics for the traffic direction coming into the port from the service
provider.

Upstream
These are the statistics for the traffic direction going out from the port to the service
provider.
Line Coding
(Trellis)
This displays whether or not the port is using Trellis coding for traffic. Trellis coding helps to
reduce the noise in ADSL transmissions. Trellis may reduce throughput but it makes the
connection more stable.
SNR Margin
(0.1 dB)
This displays the Signal-to-Noise Ratio margin (in 0.1 dB). A DMT sub-carrier’s SNR is the
ratio between the received signal power and the received noise power. The signal-to-noise
ratio margin is the maximum that the received noise power could increase with the system
still being able to meet its transmission targets.
Attenuation
(0.1 dB)
This displays the line attenuation, measured in tenths of a decibel (0.1 dB). This attenuation
is the difference between the power transmitted at the near-end and the power received at
the far-end. Attenuation is affected by the channel characteristics (wire gauge, quality,
condition and length of the physical line).
Output Power
(0.1 dBm)
This displays the far end actual aggregate transmit power (in dBm). Downstream is how
much port the service provider is using to transmit to the port. Upstream is how much
power the port is using to transmit to the service provider.
Attainable Rate
(Kbps):
These are the highest theoretically possible transfer rates at which the port could send and
receive data.
Rate (Kbps)
This displays the data transfer rates at which the port is receiving and sending.
Super Frames
This displays the number of ADSL superframes the DSL connection received and
transmitted. Each superframe contains 68 ADSL data frames and a one-frame synch symbol
for a total number of 69 frames.
Super Frame
Errors
This displays the number of errored ADSL superframes the DSL connection received and
transmitted.
RS Words
This displays the number of Reed Solomon error correction words for received and
transmitted traffic.
RS Correctable
Errors
This displays the number of errored packets corrected by Reed Solomon error correction for
received and transmitted traffic.
RS
Uncorrectable
Errors
This displays the number of errored packets that Reed Solomon error correction could not
correct for received and transmitted traffic.
HEC Errors
Header Error Control (HEC) checks for errors in packet headers.
OCD Errors
The number of Out of Cell Delineation errors for received and transmitted traffic. An OCD
error means seven consecutive ATM cells had Header Error Control (HEC) violations.
LCD Errors
The number of Loss of Cell Delineation errors for received and transmitted traffic. An LCD
state means an OCD condition persisted for 4 milliseconds.
Total Cells
This displays the total number of DSL cells including headers.
Data Cells
This displays the number of data payload DSL cells, excluding headers.
Bit Errors
This displays the number of errored bits.
Total ES
This displays the number of Errored Seconds meaning the number of seconds containing at
least one errored block or at least one defect.
Total SES
This displays the number of Severely Errored Seconds meaning the number of seconds
containing 30% or more errored blocks or at least one defect. This is a subset of ES.
Total UAS
This displays the number of UnAvailable Seconds.
xDSL BER Test
Click this to open a screen where you can perform a ADSL Bit Error Rate (BER) test to
determine the quality of the ADSL connection.
