Setting Line Rate in Software
You can view and/or set the line rate to match your RTU using the Configuration
option. It is highly recommended that the Transmit and Receive rates remain at
the maximum rate possible which is set to be the default. This enables the
software to use the highest rate available as the operating rate when the central
office card and your RTU link up to communicate. Otherwise, be sure you know
the appropriate line rate for your RTU before changing this selection or
contact your customer service representative for assistance. Selecting the
wrong rate can terminate your DSL link.
