Data Rate Prediction
Data Rate Prediction
The data rate prediction test is based on measurements of PSD noise and 
attenuation. Considering the fact that all estimates are done from the single 
end of the loop, the created report will be presented as a prediction with 
reasonable probability.
DSL Rate
The DSL Rate tab allows you to configure parameters and view results for 
the current loop topology. The data rate prediction (DRP) test displays the 
calculated downstream and upstream rates.
Each parameter on the pane is 
described below.
³
Annex defines the modes of 
available ADSL Annexes from the 
ITU standards.
³
A is ADSL service functioning 
over POTS.
³
B activates the ADSL 
functionality over ISDN.
³
L Mask 1 assumes an increase in ADSL2 range/distance.
³
L Mask 2 also extends the signal reach but can show an 
improvement in the upstream data rate.
³
M allows increased upload speeds from 1 Mbps to 3.5 Mbps. 
Available only for ADSL2 and ADSL2+.
³
Technology lists the following values: ADSL, ADSL2, or ADSL2+. If 
Annex L is previously selected, ADSL2 is automatically set. If Annex M, 
ADSL is not available.
