Network Interface Status

The network interface status fields are read-only:

HLine Rate (Kbps). If the DSU is connected to an operating line and the Line Rate (Kbps) shows Autobaud and does not change to a line rate within about 25 seconds, Line Rate (Kbps) may have to be reconfigured manually. Refer to System Options, Table A-1.

HLoop Loss (dB). The loop loss is the loss of signal strength of the receive line signal from the local loop.

To view the Network Interface Status, follow this menu selection sequence:

Main Menu → Status → Network Interface Status

No Signal

No signal can be detected over the network interface.

Loop Loss (dB)

0 to ±65 dB

Amount of loop loss ± loss of signal strength of the receive line signal from the local loop, measured in decibels.
