Configuring ADSL Service

Configuring Data Rates

You can configure the data rate only from the Megabit Modem 310F for both the Megabit Modem 310F and 320F. The data rate fields are Read Only Parameters when you access them from the Megabit Modem 320F (ATU-R).

You configure the minimum and maximum data rates for both upstream and downstream traffic. The maximum data rates determine the rate the modem must achieve to come up when the startup option is set to Fixed Rate (see page 21).

1Configure the upstream data rates (transmission toward the Megabit Modem 310F): a From the ADSL Configuration Menu (page 20), type 2 to select (Max) Up Data Rate.

The following message displays: Enter valid input

bType a maximum upstream data rate, in kbps, then press ENTER .

The valid data rate values are increments of 32 between 64 and 928 kbps. If you enter a value that is not an increment of 32, the modem automatically adjusts it to the closest increment of 32. The default is 928 kbps.

cType 4 to select (Min) Up Data Rate.

The following message displays: Enter valid input

dType a minimum upstream data rate, in kbps, then press ENTER .

The valid data rate values are increments of 32 between 64 and 928 kbps. If you enter a value that is not an increment of 32, the modem automatically adjusts it to the closest increment of 32. The default is 64 kbps.

2Configure the downstream data rates (transmission toward the Megabit Modem 320F): a From the ADSL Configuration Menu (page 20), type 3 to select (Max) Down Data Rate.

The following message displays: Enter valid input

bType a maximum downstream data rate, in kbps, then press ENTER .

The valid data rate values are increments of 32 between 64 kbps and 7040 kbps. If you enter a value that is not an increment of 32, the modem automatically adjusts it to the closest increment of 32. The default is 7040 kbps.
