3088/I Getting Started Guide 3 • G.SHDSL config and status

G.SHDSL Status

Selecting the Status hyperlink on the Configuration Menu provides the web page containing the G.SHDSL sta- tus and the Bridged PPP link status. The G.SHDSL Status is divided into three groups, Run-Time Statistics, DSL Line Error Counters, and Local Interface Error Counters.

Run-Time Statistics

The Run-Time Statistics provide the state and relative health of the DSL link. The statistical parameters are described.

Figure 10. DSL Run-time Statistics

•G.SHDSL State: The link may be in one of these states, Deactivated, In Progress, or Normal Operation.

•Connected: If there is a valid physical DSL link, the field is TRUE. If not, it displays FALSE.

•Loss Of Signal: Indicates Signal Loss or Signal Found.

•Loss of Sync: Indicates whether the Sync Word is synchronized.

•DLS Sync State: The sync state of the DSL link may be Out of Sync, In Sync, Acquiring Sync, or Loss of Sync.

•Noise Margin (dB): The maximum tolerable increase in external noise power that still allows for BER of less than 1 x 10–7.

Note G.SHDSL State vs. DSL Sync State—The G.SHDSL State describes whether the DSL is training (in progress), linked (success), deactivated, or idle.

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