Line Condition

Line Condition
In the Line Condition window you can monitor the characteristics of the ADSL
connection and confirm that it has been established. From here you can observe
various performance statistics of each end of the connection, including:
Data Path: Displays the current data path type, Fast or Interleaved.
Operation Mode: Describes the of modulation technique used to make the
ADSL connection. This will be either Discrete Multi-tone modulation (DMT)
defined by the G.dmt standard or the variation of DMT described by the G.lite
standard.
Downstream Rate: Lists the downstream data transfer rate in Kbps.
Upstream Rate: Lists the upstream data transfer rate in Kbps.
Near End (ADSL Router connection a.k.a. ATU-R): Lists the number of data
transfer errors on the Router end of the ADSL connection. These errors are listed
according to the technique used to correct them. The techniques used are
Forward Error Correction (FEC), Cyclic Redundancy Control (CRC) and
Header Error Check (HEC).
Far End (DSLAM): Lists the number of data transfer errors on the DSLAM end
of the ADSL connection. These errors are listed according to the technique used
to correct them. The techniques used are Forward Error Correction (FEC),
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) and Header Error Control (HEC).
