efm noise-margin
This command sets the noise margin of the selected VDSL port. Use the no form of
this command to disable this feature.
Syntax
efm noise-margin [downstream noise margin] [upstream noise margin]
no efm noise-margin
•
downstream noise margin - A measure of the amount of noise that the
downstream VDSL line can tolerate before the signal is affected.
Range: 0-9
•
upstream noise margin - A measure of the amount of noise that the
upstream VDSL line can tolerate before the signal is affected.
Range: 0-9
Default Setting

Command Usage
When rate adaptation is enabled, (see "efm rate-adapt" on page 4-108) the
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is an indicator of link quality. The switch itself has
no internal functions to ensure link quality. To ensure a stable link, you should
add a margin to the theoretical minimum Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The table
below lists theoretical minimum SNR's for the VDSL profiles configurable on this
switch.
