Item	Description
DSL Connection
DSL Line (Wire Pair)	The DSL signal can be transmitted on Line 1 (inner pair) or
	Line 2 (outer pair). During installation, the gateway
	automatically detects on which line the DSL signal is being
	transmitted.
Protocol	Displays which DSL protocol is being used to communicate
	between your system and your service provider.
Downstream Rate	The speed at which data comes over your broadband
	connection from the Internet to your network, measured in
	kilobits per second (kbps).
Upstream Rate	The speed at which data goes over your broadband
	connection from your network to the Internet, measured in
	kilobits per second (kbps).
Channel	The setting in this field is determined by your ISP’s DSLAM
	equipment.
Current Noise Margin	Indicates how much the noise on the DSL line can increase
	before it begins to affect the DSL signal. As the noise on the
	DSL line increases, the margin will approach zero. If the noise
	exceeds the current noise margin, the DSL signal will be lost.
	The level is measured in decibels (dBs).
Current Attenuation	Represents the decrease in signal strength between
	origination of the DSL (Central Office) and your gateway.
	Customers who live close to their Central Office usually will
	have less signal loss and a low current attenuation. The level
	is measured in decibels (dBs).
Current Output Power	The current DSL transmit power of your gateway. The level is
	measured in decibels (dBs).
DSLAM Vendor Information	A DSLAM is the piece of equipment located in the Central
	Office (CO) that provides the DSL signal to your DSL line. The
	Vendor Information identifies information about the
	configuration of this equipment.
PVC Info	Displays the pair of numbers that uniquely identifies the ATM
	virtual circuit between the system and the provider of your
	DSL service.
Internet Connection Details
Connection Type	Identifies the method by which the gateway connects to the
	Internet Service Provider (ISP): PPPoE, PPPoA, or Direct.
