Model 3088A Series Getting Started Guide

2 • Configuration

 

 

Annex: Either G.991.2 Annex A or Annex B.

The following status information is available through the command line interface:

LEDs: Which software controlled LEDs are currently on.

Configuration Mode: Whether the 3088A is configured by DIP switches or software.

DSL Link State: In Progress, Success, Deactivated, or Idle.

DSL Sync State: Out of Sync, Acquiring Sync, In Sync, or Losing Sync.

Note DSL Link State vs. DSL Sync State—The DSL link state describes whether the DSL is training (in progress), linked (success), deactivated (we don’t have an option to deactivate the modem, so the user should not see this), or idle.

The DSL sync state describes whether no sync words have been found (out of sync), there are no sync word errors (in sync), or whether we are transi- tioning from out of sync to in sync (acquiring sync) or vice versa (losing sync). Typically, when the link is training, the sync state goes from out of sync to acquiring sync to in sync.

DSL Actual Rate: The actual rate at which the DSL link is running (minus DSL overhead).

DSL Line Condition: Good or Poor.

Noise Margin Ratio: the maximum tolerable increase in external noise power that still allows for BER of less than 1x 10–7.

DSL Error Counters: The following error counters are available:

-CRC

-LOSW (Loss of Sync Word)

E1 Loss of Signal: Active or Inactive.

E1 Frame Sync: Searching or Found.

E1 Frame Errors: Yes or No.

E1 Buffer Slips: Yes or No.

Alarms: RED, YELLOW, BLUE. Active or Inactive.

E1 Error Counters: The following error counters are available:

-Line Code Violations

-Path Code Violations

-Errored Seconds

-Severely Errored Seconds

-Severely Errored Frame Seconds

-Unavailable Seconds

-Controlled Slip Seconds
