Margins are good, go ahead and request FastPath  |

| This is dependant on your modem that you're using. For most Westells, it's »192.168.1.1/transtat.htm or you go to System Monitors/Advanced Monitors/Transceiver stats and get the stats there. I think the ActionTecs are laid out the same way as going to System Monitors and such, but since I don't have any knowledge on them I don't know where to find them besides searching. |

1 edit | reply to Smith6612 I just joined the site and this topic caught my eye. Do you think I could move to FastPath?

thanx
Also wondering where I would ask for this to be done since you say its easier and fast to ask on here. Thanks again |

  Smith6612 Premium join:2008-02-01 united state | reply to schwenkster Nice sync you have there . As Jodo stated, FastPath is doable on that line so go ahead and ask for it in the V* direct forum. |

2 edits | You would quality for it, however your upstream sync is not synced properly, and the noise margin is too low on the upstream. I would get the line cleaned up a little so that the upstream syncs at 864kbps, and the margin is a bit higher than 9 as well if possible. Once you do this, you're all set to go. |

| Your margin on the downstream is a bit low. The upstream sync is off on 32kbps, but yet it looks like your downstream attenuation is higher than it should be. I think you might be able to quality for FastPath once the line is cleaned up if it is in fact a little noisy on the DSL side. A NID test or using another jack close to the NID using the rounded cable the modem came with might show some better stats. |

| OK. It's pretty simple to understand. Your Sync rate is measured in Kilobits per second, and proper sync rate should be 3360 on the downstream or download side of the modem, and upstream or upload sync should be 864kbps.
Line mode is what kind of ADSL/mode your line is on. G.DMT is Verizon standard, however dependant on area, ADSL2+ and other line modes can be used.
Margin is the measure of DSL signal to your line noise. Your modem can detect this based on the amount of errors that come into the modem. Most of these errors are not noticable or detectable until the line margin gets very, very low. The margin you don't want to be near is 6dB as it shows you might disconnect if the line varies, but 10dB and above is a good margin to maintain.
Line attenuation is how much the DSL signal is weakened by factors such as wire length, old, degraded, and/or low gauge wire, wether there's twisted cable available (twisted pair cable has less noise on it), and of course the things around you. Think of attenuation as turning down the volume on a TV. As more attenuation is added, the quieter the signal is and the harder it is for the modem to hear the DSLAM, and the harder it is for the modem to transmit back to the DSLAM, and the more attenuation there is on a line, the harder the equipment has to work to try to maintain sync, such as increasing the line power.
The transmit power is simply how much energy is getting sent through to the line. |

4 edits | You already have FastPath. However your line stats are terrible. I would see if you can clean up your phone line quite a bit, as your attenuation is way too high on the downstream (shows you're getting DSL past it's operating attenuation for all of Verizon's plans), but dispite the high attenuation on the upstream, it suggests that the line is just being attenuated nad noised up a lot as that certainly has a nice noise margin.
Start a topic some place on this forum and we can help you try to improve those stats before you take the jump to Interleaved. |
