Modem Diagnostics

The Configuration Utility can be used to monitor the activity and performance of the Modem. The four status windows are read-only with the exception of the General ADSL Information. Once you have set the VCI and VPI values there should not be any need to change them. You can choose the interval in which the statistics are refreshed from the pull-down menu on the bottom of the window.

Clicking on the ADSL Status tab provides information about the status of the ADSL link and the data. In this window you can view the following information:

♦Link Status – current status of the ADSL link

♦Protocol – ADSL protocol used to provide the connection

♦Data Path – Fast or Interleave mode (depending on the DSLAM)

♦Upstream - Displays upstream data bit rate in Kbps

♦Downstream - Displays downstream data bit rate in Kbps

The lighted indicator indicates the connection status by its color.

♦Red light – not connected

♦Yellow/Black flashing light – connecting

♦Green light - connected
