About xDSL testing
The purpose of the DSL tests are to assess the quality of the xDSL signal and to verify the xDSL
rates achieved at various points in the network.
The tests involve three main steps:
– selecting the test mode and specifying test settings
– connecting to the line
– running the tests
The SmartClass Triple Play Services supports two types of modems - the classical BCM96368
modem and the new BCM963168 modem.
BCM96368 test options
The classical BCM96368 modem supports an optional bonded modem emulate mode, where the
SmartClass replaces a bonded modem (terminates the line instead of the CPE). The options avail-
able for purchase are as follows:

as well as Single channel VDSL up to 30a. It does not support the bonded modem emulate mode.
