EXFO MaxTester MAX-630 - Manual (Page 73)

VDSL2/ADSL2+ Multi-play Test Set 67
6 Running DSL/IP Tests and
Viewing Results
The MaxTester is designed to make DSL/IP turn-up easy. The unit will
emulate an customer CPE modem to the point that it can handshake and
connect with an DSLAM and report the upstream and downstream
parameters. Simply connect to the line, turn on the MAX-630, and select a
test to run. Results obtained include upstream and downstream
throughput and noise margin.
DSL/IP Connection Summary
The Connection Summary tab allows you to view the pass/fail status and
details of the test results.
When the Test Interface for Auto Test or Manual Test is set to ADSL2+ or
VDSL2 bonding mode, there will be 2 columns of results. While the test is
running, 2 soft LEDs will appear above these columns displaying the 2-DSL
line condition. The pass/fail status is based on the 2-DSL line connection
state and combined data rate. Once the test is completed, these 2 soft
LEDs disappear and the pass/fail icon is displayed at the top of the screen.

Profile displays the name of the current profile
that results were saved to.

Sync Time is a count-up timer that starts counting
only when the Line Status reaches Show Time. In
the case of bonding, both lines must reach Show
Time before the counter starts.

Line Status displays the status of the line under
test during negotiation with the DSLAM. The value
changes from Idle /Activate /Handshake
/Training /Show Time for ADSL2+ or VDSL2
mode.
Note: When loading firmware into the Broadcom chipset, the Line Status value
displays Loading M:SS, where M:SS is a count down timer.
