Patton electronic 3088A manual DSL Line Condition Good or Poor

Model 3088A Series Getting Started Guide 2 • Configuration

•Annex: Either G.991.2 Annex A or Annex B.

The following status information is available through the command line interface:

•DSL Link State: In Progress, Success, Deactivated, or Idle.

•DSL Sync State: Out of Sync, Acquiring Sync, In Sync, or Losing Sync.

Note DSL Link State vs. DSL Sync State—The DSL link state describes whether the DSL is training (in progress), linked (success), deactivated (we don’t have an option to deactivate the modem, so the user should not see this), or idle.

The DSL sync state describes whether no sync words have been found (out of sync), there are no sync word errors (in sync), or whether we are transi- tioning from out of sync to in sync (acquiring sync) or vice versa (losing sync). Typically, when the link is training, the sync state goes from out of sync to acquiring sync to in sync.
