Chapter 5 Advanced Setup
Packets Sent - Displays the number of PPP packets sent throught the WAN port of the Gateway.
Packets Received - Displays the number of PPP packets received through the WAN port of the Gateway.
DSL Status
There are eight DSL Status categories: VPI, VCI, DSL Mode, Connection Status, Speed, ATM QoS class, Near End CRC Errors (I/F), and Far End CRC Errors (I/F).
VPI - Displays current Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) setting of the Gateway. The VPI is a channel configured to communicate with the DSL network. It can be set from the DSL Settings screeen (see “DSL Setting” on page 60.)
VCI - Displays the current Virtual Channel Identifier. The VCI is a channel con- figured to communicate with the DSL network. It can be set from the DSL Settings screeen (see “DSL Setting” on page 60.)
DSL Mode - Displays the type of DSL modulation used to communicate with the DSL network. It can be set from the DSL Settings screeen (see “DSL Setting” on page 60.)
Connection Status - Displays the state of the DSL port connection. When con- necting to the Internet, this field will display “Handshake,” “Training,” and “Showtime.” Handshake and Training are
Speed - Displays the downstream (information coming in from the Internet) and upstream (information going out to the Internet) connection rates of the DSL link , in kilobits per second.
ATM QoS class - Displays the Gateway’s QoS (Quality of Service) setting. The Gateway supports six modes of QoS: UBR, CBR,
Near End CRC Errors (I/F), Far End CRC Errors (I/F) - Displays the number of interleaved (I) and fast path (F) cell errors occurring on the DSL line. Near end errors occur on the DSL network side; far end errors originate from the DSL modem. These numbers can be used to diagnose network problems, such as slow response times.
