10.4 SpeedTouch™ Identification on AWS

Information Exchange

How to Enable/Disable the Information Exchange

The SpeedTouch™ exchanges some variables after the DSL synchronisation with the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer). These variables are hard- coded into the SpeedTouch™.

The following variables are exchanged:

Chipset vendor ID:

For example the SpeedTouch™620 chipset vendor ID will be “BCM”

Software version number:

The software version number is retrieved from the ENV variables _PRODNUMBER + _BUILD.

For example the SpeedTouch™620 software version number will be “620 5.3.2”.

Serial number:

The Serial number is retrieved from the ENV variables BOARDSERIAL_NBR + _PRL.

For example the SpeedTouch™620 Serial number can be “CP0452JT02D DSLBB620AA”.

Self test result:

The self test result will be retrieved from an ENV variable.

It is possible to disable (and re-enable) the sending of the SpeedTouch™ information using the adsl config CLI command:

{Administrator}[adsl]=>config

[opermode = <{multimodemulti_adsl2multi_readsl2 multi_adsl2plus}>] [trace = <{disabledenabled}>]

Advantages of

SpeedTouch™

Identification

Set the trace variable to disabled to disable the sending, or to enabled to re-enable it.

The SpeedTouch™ identification can be used to:

View the evolution of the network to an open CPE market.

Streamline customer support operation, and so it is mandatory to see which CPE is attached to a certain port on the DSLAM.
