ASMi-52 Ver. 2.5 Monitoring Performance 6-1

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

This chapter describes the ASMi-52 diagnostic functions, which include:

• Status indications, alarms, power-up self-test

• Statistics collection

• Bit Error Rate Test (BERT)

• Diagnostic tests (loop backs and LEDs test).

6.1 Monitoring Performance

Displaying SHDSL Statistics

ASMi-52 has capabilities to collect SHDSL performance statistics. The statistics data

is collected for the current 15-minute interval or current day. In addition ASMi-52

displays a statistics report for the last 96 intervals or the last seven days, elapsed

since the last modem power-up.

Displaying the Current SHDSL Statistics

SHDSL performance statistics for the current 15-minute interval and for the

current 24-hour interval can be displayed.

 To display the current SHDSL statistics:

1. From the Monitoring menu, select Physical Ports Statistics (Main menu >

Monitoring > Physical Ports Statistics).

The Physical Port Statistics menu appears (see Figure 6-1).
