Circuit ID (idslCircuitID)
Configurable. The Circuit ID parameter provides a way for you to define a free-text name (character string)
that identifies each circuit (link) connected to the T-DAC. Although the table display is limited to 20 charac-
ters at a time, the T-DAC supports circuit IDs up to 40 characters long. The recommended way to use this
field is to design a structured mnemonic naming convention scheme for your application. For example, a DSL
service provider might identify each of the T-DAC’s iDSL circuits using a subscriber ID (e.g. bestcus-
tomer@readnet.net), for the subscriber to which the circuit connects. Other examples might be to use a combi-
nation of user location and sequence number (e.g. dallas25), or to use subscriber account numbers.
Current State (idslCurrentState)
The State parameter indicates the current real-time operating state of the port. Possible values are:
deactivate(0)—Indicates that the port is not currently connected to a remote CPE modem
initializing(1)—Indicates the port is being prepared for connection to a remote CPE
reset(2)—Indicates the port is currently in reset mode
hardwareFailure(3)—Indicates an iDSL port failure
Note
See section “Clearing an error condition” on page 135 for informa-
tion on resetting a port to clear an error.
localLoopBack(4)—The port is currently in local loopback mode
remoteLoopBack(5)—The port is currently in remote loopback mode
dataMode(6)—The iDSL port is connected to a remote CPE and passing data normally
lineDown(7)—The T-DAC has detected a break or disconnection in the line connecting to a remote CPE
lineLoopback(8)—The port is currently in line loopback mode
testPattern(9)—The T-DAC is currently sending a test pattern on this port
Clearing an error condition. To clear the error condition on an iDSL port, do the following:
1. Go to the Desired State drop down menu for the port, select the Reset option.
2. Click the Submit button at the top of the page.
