Specifications

10
Capac: Displays the capacity of the line. This is the ratio of
achieved bit rate (B/Rate or IntB/R) over the maximum attain-
able bit rate. Results are presented as a percentage (%).The
value for capacity should be reasonably high (greater than
90%). A low value could mean that there is noise on the line.
IntB/R: Displays the achieved interleaved bit rate. Results are
presented in kbits/s. The measured values for upstream and
downstream should be greater than minimum bit rate set in the
ATU-C. The result will be 0 if Fast Bit Rate is turned on in the
ATU -C.
NseM: Displays the realized noise margin. This is the amount of
increased noise relative to the measured noise power that the
system would be able to tolerate to maintain a bit error rate of
10
-7 . Results are presented in dB. The industry standard is for
a minimum value of 6 dB.
Power: Displays the aggregate power which is a measure of
total output power. Results are presented in dBm.
Atten: Displays the total attenuation. The attenuation is the
measured difference in dB between the power transmitted at
the near end and received at the far end.
Op.Mode: Displays the negotiated Operating Mode between
the ATU-C and the TS1000. Results can be either ANSI,
G.DMT or G.LITE.
If the Op. Mode: is ANSDI:
Vendor ID: Displays the manufacturer information of the ATU-C
called Vendor ID. This result will only appear if the manufac-
turer’s ATU-C supports this feature. For example, “Vendor ID:
0022” indicates Alcatel Network Systems, Inc.
If the Op.Mode: is GDMT or G.LITE:
Prov: Displays the ITU Provider Code (Vendor ID). This result
will only appear if the manufacturer’s ATU-C supports this fea-
ture.
Spec.Info: Displays the ITU Vendor Specific Information. This
result will only appear if the manufacturer’s ATU-C supports this
feature.
