efm noise-margin
This command sets the noise margin of the selected VDSL port.
Syntax 
efm noise-margin [downstream noise margin] [upstream noise margin]
no efm noise-margin 
• downstream noise margin - Range 0-9
• upstream noise margin - Range 0-9
Default Setting 
0
Command Mode 
Interface Configuration
Command Usage 
The noise margin indicates how much the noise on the selected VDSL can 
increase before the signal is affected. As the noise on the line increases, the 
margin will approach zero. If the noise exceeds the current noise margin, the 
signal will be lost. You will then need to increase the margin until the signal is 
restored.
Example
The following example configures VDSL port 1 with an upstream noise margin of 6 , 
and a downstream margin of 6.

efm rate-adapt
This command enables and disables the rate adaption feature on the selected VDSL 
port. The data rate on a VDSL line can be affected by factors such as temperature, 
humidity, and electro-magnetic radiation. When rate adaption is enabled, the switch 
will determine the optimal transmission rate for the current conditions.
Syntax
