Example 3. System Status Message

The following SYSLOG message have been received:

Fri Apr 9 11:13:15 1999 Link Transition Threshold Exceeded, port

DSL2

Meaning:

The number of DSL retrains (transitions) has exceeded the Link Down Count configured on the DSL Parameters screen (A-B-B). This is checked every 15 minutes when the current 15-minute bucket is shifted to the previous

15-minute bucket. There will never be more than one SYSLOG message for each 15-minute period. The Link Down Count only determines if a trap is sent. It has no effect on when the units will retrain.
