ADSL Statistic window keeps tabs on errors
that might affect overall system performance.
The counts are reset whenever the PC system is
restarted.
Re-training Count tracks the number of ADSL
connections performed. Due to unexpected line
condition changes, the drivers can re-train the
connection causing the Re-training Count total
to increment. The Diagnostic Tool icon will flash
yellow while reconnecting.
ADSL implements Reed Solomon (RS) error
checking:
FEC Count tracks the forward error correction
count.
CRC Count tracks the accuracy of correcting
data errors over each 17msec.
ATM HEC Count (header error check) errors
are recorded as an indication of ATM packet
accuracy.
As a measure of packet transfer performance, the
Packet Errors are counted and tracked against
the total number of Packets Received.
