DSL Status/Configuration
You use the DSL Status/Configuration screen to configure a DSL LAN Extender device as either the CO
or CP device. This screen also allows you to define the DSL line rate and displays information about the
status of the DSL connection, including the operation mode of CO or CP, whether the link is up or down,
line rate selected (Kbps), actual line rate (Kbps), and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the DSL line (dB).
-
The Device can be changed to either CO or CP by pressing <Enter> and toggling between the two.
Note : The devices work only in pairs, with one conf igured as CO and the other as CP. This is
already factory defaulted. This function can be used for devices that are not configured
appropriately.
-
The Line Rate can be changed by using the arrow keys to get to the Line Rate Selection line. Press the
<Enter> or <Space> key to select the appropriate line rate. There are 10 selectable line rate settings
for SDSL: 4640, 2320, 2064, 1552, 1040, 784, 528, 400, 272, and 144 Kbps.
-
The "Actual line rate" shows the actual line rate (Kbps) in effect on the DSL line. When you connect
the CO device to a CP device, they will link up with the lower line rate settings of the two devices.
-
Link Status is shown as UP or DOWN when CO and CP devices are linked up or linked down.
-
DSL Line SNR (dB) shows the signal - to-noise ratio in Decibels for the received signal on the DSL
line. The normal values for 24 AWG and 26 AWG wire pairs are shown in Appendix E.
-
Note: You must press <Ctrl-s> to save all changes.

Network Mode Configuration
The Network Mode Configuration screen allows the user to change a variety of functions.
-
The user can enable either or both Bridging and RIP functions.
-
The user can change the devices main IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
-
A Bandwidth Limit can also be set for inbound and outbound traffic (a setting of 0 means that the
traffic control is not activated and it will allow whatever traffic the network can support).
-
For the Remote CP device, NAT or Router feature can be enabled, with optional setting for e-mail
and http/ftp servers. The appropriate IP addresses must be entered.
