LABEL

DESCRIPTION

L2 Time

Set minimum time (in seconds) that the ADSL line must stay in the L2 power

 

mode before reducing the power again in the L2 power mode.

 

 

L2 ATPR

Set the maximum Aggregate Transmit Power Reduction (ATPR) in decibels (dB)

 

that is permitted in a L2 power reduction. The system can gradually decrease

 

the ADSL line transmission power while it is in the L2 power mode. This is the

 

largest individual power reduction allowed in the L2 power mode.

 

 

L2 ATPRT

Set the maximum Aggregate Transmit Power Reduction Total (ATPRT) in

 

decibels (dB) that is permitted in the L2 power mode. This is the total transmit

 

power decrease that is allowed to occur in the L2 power mode.

 

 

Max L2 Rate

Set the maximum transfer rate (in Kilobits per second) that is permitted while the

 

port is in the L2 power mode. The supported range is 32~4096 Kbps in 4 Kbps

 

increments. If you enter a number that is not a multiple of 4, the system uses the

 

next lower multiple of 4. If you enter 39, for example, the system will use 36.

 

 

Min L2 Rate

Set the minimum transfer rate (in Kilobits per second) that is permitted while the

 

port is in the L2 power mode. The supported range is 32~4096 Kbps in 4 Kbps

 

increments. If you enter a number that is not a multiple of 4, the system uses the

 

next lower multiple of 4. If you enter 39, for example, the system will use 36.

 

 

L0 to L2 Rate

Set the down stream transfer rate (in Kilobits per second) that serves as the

 

threshold for whether the port is to use the L0 or the L2 power mode. The

 

system changes from L0 mode to L2 mode when the downstream transfer rate

 

stays below this threshold for L0 Time. The system changes back from L2

 

mode to L0 mode when the downstream transfer rate goes above this threshold.

 

This rate must be less than or equal to one half of the Min L2 Rate and at least

 

16 Kbps.

 

 

Use this part of the screen to mask carrier tones. Masking a carrier tone disables the use of that tone on the ADSL port. Do this to have the system not use an ADSL line’s tones that are known to have a high noise level. Each mask can use up to 8 hexadecimal digits (00000000~ffffffff). Each hexadecimal digit represents 4 tones. The hexadecimal digit is converted to binary and a '1' masks (disables) the corresponding tone. The most significant bit defines the lowest tone number in a mask.

US Carrier

Mask0 represents tones 0~31.

 

Mask1 represents tones 32~63.

 

The most significant bit defines Tone 0. In other words, 0x00000001 means tone

 

31. For example, you could use 0xfffff000 to disable upstream carrier tones

 

0~19 and leave tones 20 ~ 31 enabled.

 

 

DS Carrier0

Mask1 represents tones 32~63

(32~255)

Mask2 represents tones 64~95

 

Mask3 represents tones 96~127

 

Mask4 represents tones 128~159

 

Mask5 represents tones 160~191

 

Mask6 represents tones 192~223

 

Mask7 represents tones 224~255

 

For example, use 0x01000000 in Mask2 to disable downstream carrier tone 71.

 

Use 0x03000000 in Mask2 to disable downstream carrier tones 70 and 71.
