ADSL Module Port Setup

This chapter explains how to configure individual ports on the AAM-1008.

11.1ADSL Module Port Setup Overview

The web configurator allows you to configure settings for the ADSL Access Module’s ports.

11.2ADSL Standards Overview

The ADSL module supports both the G.lite and the G.dmt standards. G.lite is intended to minimize the cost for the consumer market.

11.3Downstream and Upstream

Downstream refers to traffic going out from the DSL module to the subscriber’s DSL modem or router. Upstream refers to traffic coming into the DSL module from the subscriber’s DSL modem or router.

11.4Profiles

A profile is a table that contains a list of pre-configured DSL settings. Each DSL port has one (and only one) profile assigned to it at any given time. You can configure multiple profiles, including profiles for troubleshooting.

Profiles allow you to configure DSL ports efficiently. You can configure all of the DSL ports with the same profile, thus removing the need to configure the DSL ports one-by-one. You can also change an individual DSL port by assigning it a different profile.

You could set up different profiles for different kinds of accounts (for example, economy, standard and premium). Assign the appropriate profile to a DSL port and it takes care of a large part of the port’s configuration. See later in this chapter for how to configure profiles. You can only delete a profile when no DSL port is set to use it.
