Description

Adaptive Rate

The modem comes up at the highest possible data rate based on the
configured startup margin and line conditions. Adaptive Rate is the default.

Fixed Rate

At startup, the system attempts only the rates you configure in

“Configuring

Data Rates” on page 22

, which include maximum upstream and downstream

data rates with a margin greater than or equal to the configured margin. If the
data rates cannot be obtained, the system continues to attempt the data rate.
If it does not achieve the data rate, the modems will not sync.
