DSL Parameters

•Circuit ID: The circuit ID communicated to other units via EOC. EOC (embedded operations channel) is an out-of-band channel specified in the G.991.2 standard for SHDSL. We use standard EOC messages for our remote loopback. The 3088/I also supports proprietary EOC messages that allow a 3096RC to configure it.

•Intended DSL Data Rate: This selects the desired DSL data rate.

•Actual DSL Data Rate (kbps): The actual current data rate that the DSL link is operating, minus the DSL overhead (8 kbps).

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

•Device Type: The two options are Remote (default) or Central. When configuring two units back-to-back, one must be remote, the other central.

•Line Probe: The line probe may disabled (default) or enabled for rate adaptive applications.

•Action: To initiate the DSL link, select Start and click on the Configure button. To take the DSL link down, select Deactivate and click on the Configure button.
