ADSL Status

Field

Meaning

ADSL Status

Shows whether or not your modem is connected to the ADSL line. The possible values are a green light with the text Line Connected, a red light with the text Not Connected, or a yellow light with the text Training. Your modem must be connected to the ADSL line and this light should be green, before you can access your Service Providers network. A red light means the line is down and the modem is not trying to train. A yellow light means the modem can talk with the DSLAM and is attempting to synchronize with it.

Operation Mode Protocol

The method used by your modem for operation over the ADSL line. The possible values are ANSI, DMT and Lite. This method is automatically determined by your modem when it connects to the ADSL line. This value may be asked for by Customer Support but is of little interest otherwise.

Downstream (Bits/s)

The speed at which your modem can receive data. Your modem will automatically connect at the fastest speed possible.

Upstream (Bits/s)

The speed at which your modem can send data. Normally, this value will be significantly lower than the Downstream value. Your modem will automatically connect at the fastest speed possible.
