52.2.2 Linedata Command
Syntax:
ras> statistics adsl linedata <portlist>
where
This command shows the line bit allocation of a DSL port.
Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) modulation divides up a line’s bandwidth into tones. This
command displays the number of bits transmitted for each tone. This can be used to determine
the quality of the connection, whether a given sub-carrier loop has sufficient margins to
support DSL transmission rates, and possibly to determine whether certain specific types of
interference or line attenuation exist. See the ITU-T G.992.1 recommendation for more
information on DMT.
The better (or shorter) the line, the higher the number of bits transmitted for a DMT tone. The
maximum number of bits that can be transmitted per DMT tone is 15.
“upstream carrier load” displays the number of bits transmitted per DMT tone for the upstream
channel (from the subscriber’s DSL modem or router to the IES-612-51A).
“downstream carrier load” displays the number of bits received per DMT tone for the
downstream channel (from the IES-612-51A to the subscriber’s DSL modem or router).
The bit allocation contents are only valid when the link is up.
In the following example, the upstream channel is carried on tones 7 to 39 and the downstream
channel is carried on tones 53 to 259 (space is left between the channels to avoid interference).
<portlist> =
You can specify a single DSL port <1>, all DSL ports <*> or
a list of DSL ports <1,3,5>. You can also include a range of
ports <1,5,6~10>.
