The Motorola T3 PowerBroadband system can be managed via a Command Line Interface, webUI, and SNMP.
Commands that apply to remote WallPlates, such as Ethernet port configurations and wireless interface, are all
entered on the T3 Switch.
CCoommmmaanndd HHiieerraarrcchhyy
The Command Line Interface (CLI) implements a hierarchical command structure. Commands are organized as a
high-level command keyword related to a particular function of the device with sub-commands related to subfunctions.
You may move down in the command hierarchy by entering root keywords and sub-keywords followed by the
enter key. Your current level in the command hierarchy is referred to as the “command context.” The top-level
context is referred to as the “root command context.” You may move up to the previous command context by
using the exit command. The command prompt is the system name, followed by the current command context.
For example, the root command prompt with the default configuration is:
system>
Full commands may be entered at the root command context. For example:
system> interface dsl enable port1
You may also move down levels in the command hierarchy, which allows you to execute commands with less
repetitive typing.
Most commands discussed in this guide are administrative commands, which change the configuration of the
system or affect the operation of the system. These commands can only be executed from the admin account.
Configuration changes take affect immediately and are recorded in non-volatile memory (NVRAM) in the default
mode. Alternatively, you may choose not to record changes in NVRAM. In this case, changes will need to be
committed before rebooting the system; otherwise the configuration will revert to the last saved configuration. If
automatic commit is enabled, or the configuration is manually committed, the running configuration will
automatically be restored if the system power cycles or is rebooted.
Show Commands
The show commands are used to view configurations, status and/or statistics. These commands can be issued
from either the user or admin account.
Motorola, Inc. 570510-001-00 rev A Page 9 of 50
Page 10
Commands and Syntax
Global Commands
Commands that are available from any command context are called global commands. For example, the help
command can be used whether you are at the root command context or down a few levels in the command
hierarchy. Global commands can also be used from either the user or admin account.
Note: The default prompt is “system>”. If you set the system name using the “system name” command,
the prompt changes to the new system name.
Command Description
clear Clears the screen
exit Use this command to switch to the previous context. Note that using the exit command at
the root command context performs the same function as logout.
help Displays the help files
history Shows the history of the commands used in the current session.
logout Can be used with either the login (admin, user, RADIUS network authenticated) and at any
command level to terminate the current session
tree Shows the structure of the command tree
Command Completion
The CLI allows you to shorten commands as long as the characters are not ambiguous. While typing a command,
press the tab key to have the system complete the current command word or type (?) to have the system display
a list of available options. The options displayed vary according to the context:
• If you type a ? at a prompt, the system displays a list of all available commands.
• If you type an unambiguous command word, pressing ? displays all available subcommands or arguments. For
example, show ? (note the space before the question mark) displays a list of all show subcommands.
Style Conventions
The style conventions used in this manual distinguish various elements of the commands and facilitate the proper
interpretation of command syntax, parameters, and their use.
Keyword
Show the actual text you must enter. A keyword is found within carrots <>, followed by an input
parameter. You must type the keyword, followed by the parameter.
<ip-address>
[ ]
Indicates the text is a variable where you must supply the actual value
Square brackets delimit optional keywords or arguments. One or more of these optional
parameters can be entered on the same line. For example, the “interface wireless config”
command has 12 optional parameters of which you can choose only the parameters you want to
configure.
-
Hyphens are used to indicate remote ports on a connected WallPlate. Port numbers following
the hyphen are remote Ethernet ports or remote WLANs.
where;
“radio” is a keyword and must be typed
<1-25> is a port range parameter for the wireless radio connected to the DSL line
(interface-id) is a description and is not typed
where;
“wlan” is a keyword and must be typed
<1-25> is the port range for the radio connected to the DSL line
<1-16> is the port range of the WLAN on the radio
(interface-id) is a description and is not typed
Proper command form:
wifi wlan enable wlan25-1
Note that range commands can also be used. In the following example, WLANs 1, 2, 3 are enabled on all radios.
wifi wlan enable wlan(1-25)-(1-3)
This document refers to actual command syntax as little as possible. For a complete command syntax document,
please refer to the Command Reference guide for a complete list of all available commands, the proper syntax,
and usage examples. In no way does this User Guide attempt to replace or obsolete the Command Reference.
Interface Range
Multiple interfaces can be specified for a single command using port ranges. Use hyphens (-) and commas (,) to
delineate ports. Port numbers must be contained in parenthesis. Hyphens and commas can be combined in the
same expression to specify multiple, non-sequential interfaces. For example;
To enable all 25 DSL ports, type: interface dsl enable port(1-25)
To enable only selected DSL ports, type: interface dsl enable port(1,3,5,20-25)
Hyphens and commas can also be used to enable remote Ethernet ports along with DSL ports. For example;
To enable Eth1 and Eth2 on every WallPlate, type: interface remote enable port(1-25)-(1,2)
VLAN commands can also be completed using interface ranges.
To add VLAN 100 to Eth1 on every WallPlate, type: vlan membership add 100 interface port(1-25)-1

T3 file system stores and load configuration script files. These files are text editable. Use the following
commands to complete these management tasks:
1. Create a starting configuration file from an existing T3 switch
2. Copy the file to an external server
3. Edit the file on a PC
4. Load the file into another T3 switch
5. Execute the file as a set of configuration commands
The command syntax to use the file system is:
file copy <string(source)> to <string(destination)>
a. Source can be a local file, a remote FTP or TFTP file, or a pre-defined keyword. Keywords allow you to
capture the startup and running configuration to a file. Supported keywords are “startup” and “running”.
b. Destination can be a local file or a remote FTP or TFTP file. Note that the combination of the Source
keywords and the remote Destination allows you to copy the running config directly to a remote server. For
example; file copy running to tftp://192.168.1.1/my-t3-config.txt
c. At least one (source or destination) must be the local file system. If the source and destination are remote
servers, the command will fail.

System Administration
file delete <string(file)>
d. Delete a file from the file system
file dir
e. List the files in the system and display the remaining storage
file exec <string(file)>
f. Executes a file as a set of configuration commands. Note that “file” is a local file in the file system. The file
must have previously been copied to the filesystem from the external server using the file copy command.
From the webUI, the administrator can save and load configuration files. Note that these configuration files are
non-editable binary format for configuration security. If editable configuration is desired, use the CLI script files.
Configuration files from the webUI can be used to create secure template configurations.
Note: The Configuration File contains every configuration possible including the “Admin” account password.
When combined with RADIUS network authentication, the non-editable Configuration Files provide a secure
method to pre-configure systems in a staging area and apply the secure “admin” password without revealing the
password. Contact a Motorola support person for assistance with a setting up secure, staged configurations.
To save or load a Configuration file from the webUI, access the System – Configuration screen from the webUI.
Follow these steps to create a template configuration file:
1. Configure a complete system configuration
2. Set the system name to “template configuration” or similar name
3. Save the configuration file using the webUISystem-Configuration screen
Follow these steps to apply the template to a new system:
1. Boot a new system
2. Using the serial console login, set the IP address (or use the default IP address)
3. Reboot the system to apply the IP address
4. Login via the webUI
5. Load the template configuration file using the System-Configuration screen
6. Change the system name to the correct name
7. Change the IP address to the correct IP address

T3 Firmware
T3 Switch stores one active and one alternate boot image.
To view the current image, or to monitor the progress of an upgrade, use:
show system image
The system image can be upgraded using FTP or TFTP. Commands used are:
Using FTP: system image load ftp://username:password@ipaddress/path/t3-app.img
Using TFTP: system image load tftp://ipaddress/path/t3-app.img
Instructions to obtain and upgrade the system image are found in the release notes of each software image.
Ethernet WallPlate Firmware
The Ethernet WallPlate software image is embedded in the T3 system image. As of the T3 3.0.0 firmware
release, no upgrade is required on the Ethernet WallPlates. Check the most current firmware Release Notes to
see if an image upgrade will be done on the WallPlate.
At bootup, the image version is checked. If the WallPlate image requires a reload, the time to upload all 25
WallPlates is approximately 20 minutes. Interruption during the upgrade time will not damage the WallPlate.
Note, however, that the Ethernet WallPlate will be unable to carry network traffic during image upgrade.
Wireless WallPlate Firmware
The Wireless WallPlate software image is stored in the file system of the T3 Switch and loaded onto the
WallPlates from that location. Each Wireless WallPlate stores one active and one alternate image. The image
can be upgraded in runtime, user traffic will not be affected. The total time to complete a runtime upgrade of any
single WallPlate is approximately 20 minutes. If upgrading multiple WallPlates, the system will automatically
stagger the start-time of each unit. Monitor the upgrade process using this command:
show remote image
The status will display a percentage of completion, and show what action is currently being done. Do not reboot
the WallPlate until it is 100% complete. Since the WallPlate supports two images, an unintentional interruption
will not damage the unit.
Upgrading the software on the Wireless WallPlate requires three steps:
Step 1: FTP or TFTP the Wireless WallPlate image to the file system of the T3 Switch
file copy tftp://<IP of TFTP server>/path/mc800-app.img to mc-800-app.img
NOTE: do not change the name of the file.
Step 2: Load the new image into the alternate image bank on the Wireless WallPlate
remote image load port<x> tftp://<Private IP address of T3>/mc800-app.img
NOTE: for information on IP Addressing refer to pages 24-26, “Managing the Wireless WallPlate”
Step 3: Reboot the Wireless WallPlate to activate the new software
T3 includes Forward Error Correction in the VDSL frames. Bit errors that are not corrected are counted and
reported as a Line Quality measurement. Bit errors are averaged over 1 second of time. An SNMP trap will be
sent to the SNMP trap recipient when the threshold is crossed. The line quality status will change in the webUI
and the Command Line Interface. There are two thresholds that will be set:
Maximum threshold – the line quality status will change to Fair when the errors increase beyond the
Minimum threshold – the line quality status will change to Good when the errors decrease below the
To set the line quality threshold, use the following command:
interface dsl thresholds min-threshold <0.5 to 50> max-threshold <0.5 to 50>
Line quality threshold can also be set from the webUI using the Interface DSL menu
By default, the thresholds are set to:
min-threshold 1.7 bit errors/second
max-threshold 2 bit errors/second
Configuration and Status can be viewed using the Show commands. To view the available show items, use the
following command from the CLI:
show ?
Ex: View Current and alternate software versions on the system and the WallPlates:
show system image
show system inventory
show remote image
show remote inventory
T3 OS displays the configuration from the CLI in three useful modes. All configuration displays can be accessed
from the “show system config” command syntax.
Summary
Startup
Use the command: show system config summary
This command displays the configuration in an organized summary of each configured feature.
Use this output to quickly view the active configuration.
Use the command: show system config startup
Displays only the commands entered by the administrator that result in a configuration change
AND have been saved to memory. Use this command to capture an active configuration and
create a template for configuring other XLT switches.
Running
Use the command: show system config running
Displays only the commands entered by the administrator that result in a configuration change.
The changes may or may not have been saved to memory. Use this command to capture an
active configuration and create a template for configuring other switches.
Note: When the commit mode is set to manual, the Running config will be different from the
Startup config until the changes are committed.

T3 OS supports automatic and manual commit modes. When in automatic mode, every command will be
executed immediately and saved to memory. The commands will be active if the system is rebooted or power
cycled.
In manual mode, commands are executed immediately, but are not saved to memory. The commands will be lost
when rebooted if they are not committed.
The Wireless WallPlate is managed through two interfaces; one interface is via an embedded management
channel within the VDSL frames. The other interface is through a layer 3 IP address.
“show remote inventory” command uses the embedded channel to read hardware rev and basic information,
including serial number and BSS MAC range. Additionally, this out-of-band channel is used to detect the device
and initiate communications. This interface can operate if IP addressing is invalid or the system is unable to
communicate at Layer 3. This command will read hardware information for the Wireless WallPlate or the m2
Ethernet WallPlate.
Each Wireless WallPlate has 16 MACs, assigned to 16 WLANs. To read the MAC addresses assigned to the
WLANs, use;
show remote inventory port<x>
Note that only one MAC address is shown for the BSS. This is the starting MAC, assigned to WLAN 1 on that
radio. The remaining 15 WLANs will increment from the last octet, 00.
00 C0 23 xx xx x0
3-byte vendor ID 2-byte device ID 1-byte device ID
“show remote image” command uses the layer 3 interface to communicate. Use this command to ensure the
T3 has full access to the Wireless WallPlate. Note this command will not read information from an m2 Ethernet
WallPlate. If this command stalls, then the T3 cannot communicate. This is most likely an IP addressing mistake.

Private IP address
The T3 system requires an IP address for network management. This T3 management address is assigned using
the following command:
The Wireless WallPlates also require an IP address for management by the T3 system. The IP address pool
assigned to the Wireless WallPlates can be in the same subnet as the network management IP address, or it can
be a private IP address space that is not used outside the T3 system.
The default configuration is to use a private IP address space to manage the Wireless WallPlates.
Note these important operational parameters when using the private IP space to manage Wireless WallPlates:
1. All T3 systems on the same property (same layer 2 network) can use the same private IP space to
communicate with their own Wireless WallPlates. There will not be an IP conflict on the network.
2. The Wireless WallPlates will not send ARPs to the upstream Ethernet network.
3. The Wireless WallPlates will not send DHCP requests to the upstream Ethernet network.
4. The default private IP address space is 192.168.10.226 through 192.168.10.250. All WallPlates will be
assigned an IP address starting with 192.168.10.226.
5. The default private IP internal address is 192.168.10.1. Use this address when loading new firmware to
the Wireless WallPlate from the internal file system on the T3 Switch.
To enable the private IP addressing, type:
ip private enable
If you desire to set your own private ip addressing space, you must configure two commands:
Enable the private IP gateway: ip private config <ip> mask <mask>
ip private enable
Configure the private IP network: dhcp server disable
dhcp server config network private start <ip> end <ip>
dhcp server enable
For example: ip private config 1.2.3.4 mask 255.255.255.0 ip private enable
dhcp server disable
dhcp server config network private start 1.2.3.101 end 1.2.3.125
dhcp server enable
NOTE: The DHCP server will not disable if any WallPlates already have an IP address. It is best to change the
DHCP server config before the WallPlates link, or else you must disable the DSL ports and re-enable them after
the configuration is complete.
To disable all DSL ports and remove DHCP address: interface dsl disable po rt(1-25)

Managing the Wireless WallPlates
Public IP address
If you wish to use 802.1x authentication, or if you wish to use ping to monitor the Wireless WallPlates, you must
set the DHCP pool as a public pool. Note the following steps are required:
Disable the private IP gateway address: ip private disable
Configure the public IP network: dhcp server disable
dhcp server config network public start <ip> end <ip>
dhcp server enable
For example: ip private disable
ip config ip-address 10.1.1.2 mask 255.255.255.0 gate 10.1.1.1
dhcp server disable
dhcp server config network public start 10.1.1.101 end 10.1.1.125
dhcp server enable
NOTE: The public pool must be in the same subnet as the IP address of the T3 Switch.
Static IP address pool
Static leases can be added for the public IP address pool. To use a static lease, you must know the MAC
address of the radio and the IP you wish to assign. To get a list of MAC addresses, first link the Wireless
WallPlates via the standard DHCP server configuration. View the list using, “show dhcp server lease”. The list
of MAC addresses can be used to create the static lease table.
The MAC address of the radio is printed on the product serial label. Also, the MAC addresses will appear in the
forwarding bridge. To view the forwarding bridge table, type “show bridge address”
Disable the private IP gateway address: ip private disable
Configure the static lease entry: dhcp server disable
dhcp server static-lease add <mac address> ip <ip>

RADIUS server configurations apply to administrative access accounts and client 802.1X authentication. RADIUS
access-requests are supported, but RADIUS accounting messages are not. Up to five RADIUS servers can be
added. The default RADIUS port 1812 is used and is not configurable.
Authenticating Administrative Access
RADIUS network authenticated logins allows the administrators to easily change all passwords by changing the
password on the RADIUS server, simplifying management of a large network with multiple users.
To use RADIUS network authentication, you will need a properly configured RADIUS server (free RADIUS servers are
available for Linux operating systems or fee-based server products are available on UNIX and Microsoft NOS).
RADIUS authenticated logins only support the “admin” user account privileges with the following exceptions:
• The RADIUS account cannot disable RADIUS login support
• The RADIUS account cannot change the built-in “Admin” password
Note: The “admin” account name is not reserved. You may create an “admin” account on the RADIUS server. If so,
the T3 will first check the password against the local “admin” account password before trying the RADIUS server.
Unless there is a special reason to do so, we recommend not using an “admin” account on the RADIUS server
Authenticating Clients using 802.1X
To use RADIUS authentication, the server must support 802.1X protocol and a supported EAP type. Supported EAP
types are TLS, TTLS, and PEAPv0 (also known simply as PEAP)
Configure the RADIUS Server
To create a RADIUS server configuration from the CLI, use the following command:
Index 5 RADIUS servers can be added. Authentication will be performed starting with the server in
index 1
ip-address IP address of the RADIUS server
shared-secret This is the password used by the RADIUS server to authentication the Access-Request
packets from the Tut OS
Timeout Number of seconds to wait after sending an Access-Request packet before sending another
request or trying another server. Practical timeout value is 5 seconds.
Retries Number of retries before giving up and trying a different server. A practical entry for retries is 2
to 3.

NOTE: Telnet is recommended due to the TCP flow control. Ranged commands can take several seconds to
execute. If the console is used to paste a long string of commands, set a Line Delay of 500ms on your serial program
so that the serial buffer does not overflow. If this happens, some commands may be lost or not executed.

The T3 Switch is a VLAN switch. The WallPlate is also a VLAN switch. Therefore, be certain that packets traversing
the DSL links between the T3 Switch and the WallPlate are always TAGGED.
PVID
Tagged
Untagged
In the 802.1Q standard, each port is assigned a PVID. This is the default VLAN ID
assigned to untagged packets received (ingress) on that port. The PVID is sometimes
called the port Native VLAN. By default, all ports are assigned VLAN 1.
T3 will optionally tag packets when transmitting (egress) on the port. Set the port as a
tagged member of the VLAN by using the vlan membership egress command.
On the T3 Switch, the tag mode (whether a packet transmits with a tag or not) of a
packet is determined PER VLAN, not per port. This allows the T3 to support complex
VLAN configurations not possible on other switches.
On the WallPlate, the tag mode of a packet is determined PER PORT, similar to the
Cisco IOS “trunk” mode.
T3 will optionally transmit (egress) packets without an 802.1Q VLAN tag. Use
Untagged packets on any port that is connected to a non-VLAN aware device. For
example; if a PC is connected to the WallPlate ports, packets will be untagged. This is
similar to the Cisco IOS “access” mode of a switchport.

Tag-based VLAN Mode
Tag based mode is fully 802.1Q VLAN compliant. You must explicitly configure the
Egress and Ingress rules for each port and each VLAN. On the webUI, use the 802.1Q
TAG-BASED VLAN menu to configure VLANs.
The T3 Switch and WallPlate can operate independently. Be sure to configure all ports
on the Switch and the WallPlates for proper operation.
Port-based VLAN Mode
VVLLAANN ccoommmmaannddss
All VLAN configurations are also available from the webUI.
Port based VLAN is also called Port Isolation or Port Privacy in other switches.
When operating in port-based mode, the T3 Switch will ignore 802.1Q VLAN tags. Port
isolation is based on a VLAN Map. On the webUI, use the PORT-BASED menu to see
the VLAN Map and change the mapping. See below for more details.
Note: The Switch operates in port-based or tag-based mode; whereas the WallPlates
only operate in tag-based, or disabled. This allows for special case configurations
where the WallPlates do all the 802.1Q VLAN tagging, while the Switch maintains portto-port privacy.

replicated on all Switches in a cascade for simple,
effective port privacy.
Note:
• Eth1 can communicate with Eth2
• Eth1 can communicate with all DSL ports

• Eth1 and Eth2 cannot communicate together
• Eth1 can communicate with DSL ports 1 – 12
• Eth2 can communicate with DSL ports 12 – 25
• Port 12 can communicate with both Eth1 and Eth2
• Ports 6 and 12 can also communicate together
Note that DSL ports can only talk to the upstream
Eth1 or Eth2. The only exception is DSL ports 6 and
12.
Port-based mode on the T3 Switch can be mixed

IEEE 802.1P, WRED, WFQ, IP TOS based on RFC1275
4 queues per port
Static classifier: All packets received on a port are assigned to a single queue
Dynamic classifier: Packets are assigned to a queue based on their IP TOS or 802.1P
Administrator selectable queue weight. Queue weights are calculated as a percentage
of the cumulative weights.
Using WFQ, any queue can burst up to the maximum bitrate of the line. This can occur if
no packets in a higher priority queue are waiting to transmit. If you wish to apply strict
rules and limit a low priority queue to a fixed amount, use the “egress shaping”
command.
Strict priority over all lower queues. Note that Priority queuing can be mixed with other
queuing methods to provide a low latency, low jitter service for sensitive services such as
VoIP. For example, if the critical queue were assigned a Priority mode, then those
packets would transmit on the port before other packets in the buffers.
Apply traffic shaping rules to individual queues. Each queue is assigned a fixed amount
of bitrate. The cumulative bitrate of all the queues should not exceed the total line rate of
the port.

Deprecated commands to set the queuing mechanism on a port. This command is superseded by network qos
interface egress which has more configuration options.
When using this command, note that WFQ has a fixed percentage for each queue:
Critical: strict priority over all other queues
High: 70% of available bitrate
Medium: 20% of available bitrate
Low: 10% of available bitrate
In priority mode, strict priority applies to all queues where a higher queue always transmits before a lower queue.
Note that when using wfq mode, a low priority queue will use all the available bandwidth if a higher priority queue
is not in the transmission buffer.
Any queue assigned as a Priority queue will transmit using strict priority. A higher level queue will always transmit
before a lower level queue. Use priority mode for latency and jitter sensitive applications.
Set a fixed traffic shaping parameter for each queue. Note that a queue will never exceed the peak rate
parameter regardless of other services on the port.
Where;
Queue: the queue where you wish to shape traffic. Valid options are critical, high, medium, or low
Peak: the maximum rate for the queue, in Mbits/second
Average: the average rate for the queue, in Mbits/second
Burst: the maximum data burst allowed at the peak rate
Configure the behavior of the WFQ scheduling method. Bitrates are determined as a percentage of the total
queue weights.
In order to determine the percentage of bandwidth that will be allocated for a particular queue, divide the queue
weight by the sum of all the queues “weight”.
For example; assume the High queue weight is 100 and the Medium queue weight is 50. 100 + 50 = 150. So,
the High queue will receive 66% of the bandwidth (100/150=0.667) and the Medium queue will receive 33% of the
bandwidth (50/150=0.33).
Multicast packets are allocated a separate set of transmission buffers. Set the multicast queue to be the same
queue where the multicast packets will be transmitted. For example, if using video packets with an IP TOS bit,
assign the packets to the high queue based on the IP TOS bit, and assign the multicast queue to be also use
high. T3 has no way to automatically determine where the multicast packets will be transmitted.

Quality of Service
Enable or disable WRED support. WRED adds further protection for data integrity in a contention based Ethernet
network by randomly discarding TCP packets according to administrator settable parameters for thresholds.
Set the rate at which Ethernet frames will be discarded once the rate exceeds the thresholds. Note that two
discard rates are supported. Min-discard is the rate that frames are discarded when they reach the minimum
configured threshold. Max-discard is the rate that frames are discarded when they reach the maximum
configured threshold. Often, the max-discard rate will be set to 100.
In dynamic mode, packets are classified by the 802.1P Ethernet precedence bit or IP TOS (precedence bits) in the
Diffserv byte. This definition is taken from the latest RFC 2475. Note that the IP TOS bits are defined as the three
most significant bits of the DiffServ byte.
Ethernet frames are mapped to transmission queues based on the following chart:
802.1P bit IP TOS Queue
0 0 Low
1 1 Low
2 2 Medium
3 3 Medium
4 4 High
5 5 High
6 6 Critical
7 7 Critical

QoS Example
QQooSS EExxaammppllee
An easy way to demonstrate QoS is to use the traffic shaping queue scheduler. To further simplify the example,
dynamic packet classifier is not used.
Packet Classification:
Static. All packets on Eth1 will be classified high. All packets on Eth2 will be classified low.
Packet transmission:
Shaping. All four queues will be configured with unique bitrates.
Connections:
A SmartBits network tester can be used; however the same QoS results can be easily demonstrated using iperf and
four PCs. In either case, one flow will be connected from Eth1 of the T3 Switch to Port1-1 of the first WallPlate. The
other flow will be connected to Eth2 of the T3 Switch and Port1-2 of the first WallPlate.
Commands:
network qos enable
system reboot
network qos interface priority eth1 mode static level high
network qos interface priority eth2 mode static level medium
network qos interface egress shaping port1 queue crit ical peak 30 average 30 burst 100
network qos interface egress shaping port1 queue high pea k 20 average 20 burst 100
network qos interface egress shaping port1 queue med pea k 10 average 10 burst 100
network qos interface egress shaping port1 queue low pea k 5 average 5 burst 1
Note that the PCs connected to Eth1/Port1-1 will receive 20Mbps bitrate; whereas the other PCs will receive 10Mbps
bitrate. While the test is running, change the static level command and watch the behavior change.
Operators can view extensive details about DSL line characteristics from the CLI, Port Monitor web page, or SNMP.
To view line characteristics using the webUI, click on DSL Monitor, then click the + sign to expand the port you wish to
view.
Using the Port Monitor web page, the operator can quickly scan the status of all ports in the system. A color coded
grid indicates the important status of each port e.g. GREEN indicates the Ethernet port is connected, whereas GREY
indicates the port is enabled, but disconnected.
Per line details visible:
Status
Quality
Portx
Options are self-explanatory: disabled, enabled, linking, link lost, linked.
Link quality is a measurement of bit errors per second. Options are: Good, Fair, Bad. T3
includes Forward Error Correction in the VDSL frames. Bit errors that are not corrected are
counted and reported as a Line Quality measurement.
Bit errors of 0 – 0.51 per second = Good
Bit errors of 0.51 - 1 per second = Fair
Bit errors of greater than 1 per second = Bad

remote Ethernet port. Options are: connected, disconnected, disabled.

Displays the line bitrate in the downstream direction in Mbits/second.
Displays the line bitrate in the upstream direction in Mbits/second.
Where “x” is 1 or 2. T3 uses a 4-band QAM modulation. Three of the 4 bands are used by T3
to maximize downstream line bitrate. DS1 and DS2 refer to the two downstream bands;
whereas US1 refers to the single upstream band. If a band shows 0 SNR, the band is not
being used by that line. During normal operation, it will be common to see 0 SNR on DS2.
US2 will always show 0, this is normal. SNR can be used to diagnose line issues, but must be
considered in concert with other parameters. Values are in dB.
Each band requires SNR to be reserved as for margin. Typical values of SNR margin is
between 6 and 9. If margin is lower than 6, the line may have low quality and may retrain at
any time. If margin is greater than 9, the line is capable of a higher bitrate. Any band that is
not being used will show a margin of 0. Values are in dB.
Distance value shows estimated line length in meters, based on the level of the attenuated
signal. Distance is accurate within 10% over 150m. Measurements below 150m are
displayed at <150.
