ADSL Commands 24-1
The ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) subsystem allows you to configure and monitor the
ADSL ports on the AAM1008 network module.
24.1 ADSL Overview
See the web configurator chapter on ADSL for background information about ADSL.
24.2 Configured Versus Actual Rate
You configure the maximum rate of an individual ADSL port by modifying its profile (see the set profile
command) or assigning the port to a different profile (see the set port command). However, due to noise and
other factors on the line, the actual rate may not reach the maximum that you specify.
Even though you can specify arbitrary numbers in the set profile command, the actual rate is always a
multiple of 32 Kbps. If you enter a rate that is not a multiple of 32 Kbps, the actual rate will be the next lower
multiple of 32Kbps. For instance, if you specify 60 Kbps for a port, the actual rate for that port will not exceed 32
Kbps, and if you specify 66 Kbps, the actual rate will not be over 64Kbps.
Note that when you configure an ADSL port, the upstream rate must be less than or equal to the downstream rate.
Note also that the list port command displays the configured parameters of the ADSL port, while the show
port command displays the actual rates.
24.3 ADSL Commands
Use these commands to configure an AAM-1008’s ADSL ports and profiles.
The commands related to one subsystem are grouped under a primary command of that subsystem. To configure
the ADSL parameters, you must first enter the ADSL subsystem by entering the adsl command as shown next.
Syntax:
192.168.1.1> adsl
192.168.1.1 adsl>
When you see the 192.168.1.1 adsl> command line prompt, you are ready to enter G.SHDSL commands.
Enter the home command to return to the “192.168.1.1>” prompt.
24.3.1 Config Save Command
Syntax:
192.168.1.1 adsl> config save
