Configuring Broadband Settings

Parameter

Description

 

Rate

Upload and download speeds in kilobytes per second.

 

 

 

 

Max Rate

Maximum speed attained while uploading and downloading the data in

 

 

kilobytes per second.

 

 

 

 

Noise Margin

Current downstream and upstream noise margin in dB.

 

 

 

 

Attenuation

Current downstream and upstream DSL attenuation in dB.

 

 

 

 

Output Power

Current downstream and upstream DSL transmit and receive power in dB.

 

 

 

 

Protocol

Protocol used to communicate between your gateway and your ISP.

 

 

 

 

Channel

Setting in this field is determined by your ISP’s DSLAM equipment. Values are

 

 

Fast or Interleaved.

 

 

 

 

DSLAM Vendor

Lists information about the DSLAM, including country, DSLAM vendor, and

 

Information

specifics.

 

 

 

 

Rate Cap

Configured DSL service downstream speed.

 

 

 

 

Attenuation @ 300kHz

Measurement of the decrease in downstream signal strength in kilobytes per

 

 

second.

 

 

 

 

Required Impulse Noise

Measurement of how much impulse noise can be mitigated. Dependent on

 

Protection

the current line configuration.

 

 

 

 

Uncanceled Echo

Measurement of the uncancelled echo relative to the background noise on the

 

 

line. This is an indication of how much the uncancelled echo is affecting DSL

 

 

performance, rather than an absolute measurement of the uncancelled echo.

 

 

 

 

VCXO Frequency Offset

Indicates the difference of crystal frequency in parts per million (ppm) on the

 

 

ports of the gateway and the DSLAM.

 

 

 

 

Final Receive Gain

Indicates the current receive gain setting (in dB), which will depend on the

 

 

length of the DSL line.

 

 

 

 

Excessive Impulse Noise

Indicates to what degree impulse noise is present on the line.
