Patton electronic 3202 manual Mode, Link, Maximum Main Rate

Model 3202 Getting Started Guide 5 • Console and Telnet configuration

Mode

There are two types of G.SHDSL mode:

•STU-C: Central Office (CO) terminal

•STU-R:Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)

Link

Select the line type for your model. Line type means how many wires you want to use on the DSL connection. For example, you can select 2-wire, 4-wire or 8-wire line type for the 8-wire model.

Annex Type

Enter the appropriate Annex type. Annex AF describes the transmission and performance requirements for North America. Annex BG describes performance and transmission requirements for Europe.

TCPAM Type

TCPAM (Trellis Coded Pulse Amplitude Modulation) is the standard used for line coding. Select the TCPAM type. Auto is the default option for TCPAM.

Maximum Main Rate

Select the DSL rate for your model. The main rate is the multiple of 64kbps, 128kbps, or 256kpbs- depending on your model type. Use Table 20 to determine the best main rate for your model.

Model Type	Multiple	TCPAM-16	TCPAM-32	TCPAM-64
		= 3–60	= 12–89	= 90–177
2-wire model	64	192–3840	768–5696	5760-11328
4-wire model	128	384–7680	1536–11392	11520-22656
8-wire model	256	768–15360	3072–22784	23040-45312

SNR Margin

SNR margin is an index of line connection quality. Generally, you won’t need to change the SNR Margin. You can view the actual SNR margin in status command menu.You will experience better line connection quality for larger SNR margin values.

For example, if you set the SNR margin ias 5, the DSL connection will drop and reconnect when the SNR margin is lower than 5. On the other hand, the device will reduce the line rate and reconnect for better line connection quality. You may select the SNR margin from the range -10 to 21.
