DSL Information

Downstream and Upstream parameters:

Line Attenuation (dB) is line attenuation measured during the
training phase.
Note: DSL Info displays attenuation for ADSL1/2/2+ only. See Band Information
for VDSL2 attenuation.

Signal Attenuation (dB) is a value ranging from 0 through 63.5 for
the maximum attenuation.

300 kHz Attenuation displays the line attenuation value in dB
measures at 300 kHz.

Output Power (dBm) is the current transmit power level that is a
measure of the aggregated transmit power.

Latency is the path type, Fast or Interleave, set by the service
provider at the CO. The use of the interleaved path means greater
delay in the delivery of data but it is less susceptible to noise or
crosstalk due to increased Reed-Solomon coding and FEC
(forward error checking). The use of the fast path means little or
no delay in the delivery of data but it is more susceptible to noise
and crosstalk.

INP is the level of impulse noise protection.

G.INP is the standards based Physical Layer Retransmission
scheme for impulse noise protection and will report Active or
Not Active. G.INP state will be shown unless system is using Phy-R.

Phy -R is Broadcom proprietary Physical Layer Retransmission
technology which is used to overcome impulse noise.
