The Current System Status Screen, illustrated in Figure 8, provides quick access to FT1 DP status information.
The Elapsed Time display indicates the period of time since the unit began collecting performance information. At each
Figure 8 consolidates current information for the DSL and DS1 interfaces. A key to the information provided is found in the center of the screen. Arrows indicate the key applies to the FT1 DP. The following defines terms used on this screen:
LOSS | Pulse Attenuation |
| Measurement |
SYNC | DSL Loop 1 Sync Status |
ES 15M/24H | Errored Seconds |
SES 15M/24H | Severely Errored Seconds |
UAS 15M/24H | Unavailable Seconds |
NOTE
The first number is for the current
A measure of signal quality for each DSL loop is graphically depicted on the bottom right and left of the screen. The measure is from 0 to 9 (poor to excellent signal quality). Guidelines for interpreting the indicators are:
0 ......... Poor signal quality. Noise margin is ≤ 0 dB
(≈
9 ......... Excellent signal quality. Margin is ≥ 9 dB
above
Predicting performance based upon signal quality varies with each loop. Generally, a noise margin of 0 dB or higher will support a bit error rate (BER) of better than
Type “Z” at the Current System Status screen in order to reset performance registers to zero at both the Current System Status and Performance History screens.
