These are the reductions in amplitude of the downstream and upstre am DSL
signals. Measured in decibels (dB).
These are the highest theoretically possible transfer rates (in Kbps) at which
the port could send and receive data.

This field displays the number of milliseconds of interleave delay for
upstream transmissions.
This field displays the amount of power that this port is using to transmit to the
subscriber’s ADSL modem or router. The total output power of the transceiver
varies with the length and line quality. The farther away the subscriber’s ADSL
modem or router is or the more interference there is on the line, the more power
is needed.

Unit – Remote), in this case the subscriber’s ADSL modem or router, during
negotiation/ provisioning message interchanges. This informati on can help in
identifying the subscriber’s ADSL modem or router.
The Info Atuc fields show data acquired from the ATUC (ADSL Termination
Unit – Central), in this case AAM, during negotiation/provision ing message
interchanges. The vendor ID, vendor version number and product serial number
are obtained from vendor ID fields (see ITU-T G.994.1) or R-MSGS1 (see

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Line Performance Click Line Performance to display an ADSL port’s line performance
counters. Line Data Click Line Data to display an ADSL port’s line bit allocation.
Port Use this drop-down list box to select a port for which you wish to view information.
Refresh Click Refresh to display updated information.
Port Name This field displays the name of the ADSL port.
The rate fields display the transmission rates. “Line Down” indicates that the ADSL port is
not connected to a subscriber.
