screen to enable or disable ADSL over PTM, Annex M, DSL PhyR, and SRA

(Seamless Rate Adaption) functions. The Device supports the PhyR retransmission scheme. PhyR is

a retransmission scheme designed to provide protection against noise on the DSL line. It improves

voice, video and data transmission resilience by utilizing a retransmission buffer.

ADSL over PTM

Select

Enable

to use ADSL over PTM. Since PTM has less overhead than ATM, some ISPs

use ADSL over PTM for better performance.

Annex M

You can enable

Annex M

for the Device to use double upstream mode to increase the

maximum upstream transfer rate.

PhyR US

Enable or disable

PhyR US

(upstream) for upstream transmission to the WAN. PhyR US

should be enabled if data being transmitted upstream is sensitive to noise. However,

enabling PhyR US can decrease the US line rate. Enabling or disabling PhyR will require the

CPE to retrain. For PhyR to function, the DSLAM must also support PhyR and have it

enabled.
