Reviewing Bitloading
The Bitloading pane shows the bits loaded per tone for the upstream (tones 6 to 31) and downstream
(tones 32 to 255) spectrum. A single hex-digit for each tone shows the numeric value (0 to F) in addition to
the bar-graph depiction.*

tion based on the quality of the line (specifically, the
uncapped rate).
Mgn Noise margin (in dB) at the start of the connection.
Attn Measured attenuation (dB) of the line.
Pwr Transmit power (dB).
*CRCs Total uncorrected errors for this connection.
*FECs Total corrected errors for this connection.

Vendor Vendor ID of the DSLAM (for example, ALCB indicates Alca-
tel DSLAM in G.DMT mode).
