Bit rate mode indicates how the modem synchronizes with the device to which it is attached in either a Fixed or Adaptive mode. The default for the modem is Adaptive mode.
–Fixed mode indicates that the modem will synchronize with the other end (a DSLAM or another modem) at a fixed bit rate through negotiation. The modem will synchronize at the best rate, up to the data rate specified (see “Data Rate (kbps)” on page
–Adaptive mode indicates that prior to modem negotiating a rate, the modem performs an adaptation phase during which it determines a best possible rate based on conditions of the line. After adaptive mode, the modem will then negotiate the best rate that can be achieved with the other end, based on the adaptation results.
