DESCRIPTION

Syslog/ Event Log

Click Display to display a log of events in the multi-line text box.

 

Click Clear to empty the text box and reset the log.

 

 

IP Ping

Type the IP address of a device that you want to ping in order to test a

 

connection.

 

In the field to the right specify the number of times that you want to ping the IP

 

address.

 

Click Ping to have the device ping the IP address (in the field to the left).

 

 

Loopback Test

Select a port number from the Port drop-down list box and enter a VPI/VCI to

 

specify a PVC. Click OAM F5 Loopback to perform an OAMF5 loopback test

 

on the specified DSL port. An Operational, Administration and Maintenance

 

Function 5 test is used to test the connection between two DSL devices. First,

 

the DSL devices establish a virtual circuit. Then the local device sends an ATM

 

F5 cell to be returned by the remote DSL device (both DSL devices must

 

support ATM F5 in order to use this test). The results (“Passed” or “Failed”)

 

display in the multi-line text box.

 

 

LDM Test

Select a port number from the Port drop-down list box and click Set LDM Port

 

to have the IES-612-51A perform line diagnostics on the specified port. The

 

ADSL port must be set to ADSL2 or ADSL2+ ADSL operational mode and have

 

a connection. It takes about one minute for the line diagnostics to finish. The

 

screen displays a message confirming upon which ADSL port line diagnostics

 

will be performed.

 

Click Get LDM Data to display the line diagnostics results after using the Set

 

LDM Port button on an ADSL port. Use the line diagnostics results to analyze

 

problems with the physical ADSL line.

 

Click Get LDM Data(raw) to display the unformatted line diagnostics results.

 

Click Get LDM Data(992.3) to display the line diagnostics results in the format

 

defined in the ITU-T G.992.3 standard.

 

Note: Wait at least one minute after using Set LDM Port before

 

using Get LDM Data.

 

 

SELT

Select a port number from the Port drop-down list box and click Set SELT Port

 

to perform a Single End Loop Test (SELT) on the specified port. This test checks

 

the distance to the subscriber’s location.

 

Note: The port must have an open loop. There cannot be a DSL

 

device, phone, fax machine or other device connected to

 

the subscriber’s end of the telephone line.

 

The SELT takes at least fifteen seconds. To check the status of the SELT or to

 

look at the results when the SELT is complete, select a port number from the

 

Port drop-down list box and click Get SELT Data. The results tell you what

 

gauge of telephone wire is connected to the port and the approximate length of

 

the line.
