Chapter 5 Advanced Setup
Packets Sent - Displays the number of PPP packets sent throught the WAN
port of the Gateway.
Packets Received - Displays the number of PPP packets received through the
WAN port of the Gateway.
DSL Status
There are eight DSL Status categories: VPI, VCI, DSL Mode, Connection Status,
Speed, ATM QoS class, Near End CRC Errors (I/F), and Far End CRC Errors
(I/F).
VPI - Displays current Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) setting of the Gateway. The
VPI is a channel configured to communicate with the DSL network. It can be set
from the DSL Settings screeen (see "DSL Setting" on page 60.)
VCI - Displays the current Virtual Channel Identifier. The VCI is a channel con-
figured to communicate with the DSL network. It can be set from the DSL
Settings screeen (see "DSL Setting" on page 60.)
DSL Mode - Displays the type of DSL modulation used to communicate with
the DSL network. It can be set from the DSL Settings screeen (see "DSL Setting"
on page 60.)
Connection Status - Displays the state of the DSL port connection. When con-
necting to the Internet, this field will display "Handshake," "Training," and
"Showtime." Handshake and Training are pre-connection states the Gateway
must go through before establishing a link to the Internet; "Showtime" signifies
that the connection has been made.
Speed - Displays the downstream (information coming in from the Internet)
and upstream (information going out to the Internet) connection rates of the
DSL link , in kilobits per second.
ATM QoS class - Displays the Gateway's QoS (Quality of Service) setting. The
Gateway supports six modes of QoS: UBR, CBR, VBR-nrt, VBR-rt, ABR, and
QFC. QoS can be set from the DSL Settings screeen (see "DSL Setting" on page
60.)
Near End CRC Errors (I/F), Far End CRC Errors (I/F) - Displays the number
of interleaved (I) and fast path (F) cell errors occurring on the DSL line. Near
end errors occur on the DSL network side; far end errors originate from the
DSL modem. These numbers can be used to diagnose network problems, such
as slow response times.
