T5 Radio DSL Status

A T5 controller uses the operating system to manage its connected radio devices, as opposed to the WiNG operating used by RFS controllers and NX service platforms. However, a T5 controller, once enabled as a supported external device, can provide data to WiNG to assist in a T5‘s management within a WiNG supported subnet populated by both types of devices. The Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) are the T5 controller managed radio devices using the operating system. The tabs within the Radios section support these T5 managed CPE radio devices. These CPEs use a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) as their high speed Internet access mechanism using the CPE‘s physical wallplate connection and phone jack.

To view CPE DSL status:

  1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
  2. Select the Wireless Controller node from the left navigation pane and select a T5 controller from amongst those displayed.
  3. Select the DSL menu item. Select the Status tab.
    The DSL Description screen displays the following:
    Name Lists the name of the DSL utilized by each T5 controller connected CPE device.
    Link Status Displays whether each listed CPE DSL is currently enabled or disabled for utilization by its connected T5 controller.
    Downstream Rate (Mbps) Downstream Rate (Mbps) Lists each connected CPE DSL downstream data rate in Mbps.
    Downstream Margin (dB) Displays the DSL downstream power minus the attenuation ( in dB).
    Upstream Rate (Mbps) Lists each connected CPE DSL upstream data rate in Mbps.
    Upstream Margin (dB) Displays the DSL upstream power minus the attenuation (in dB).
    Power Lists each DSL's wattage utilization.
  4. Select Refresh to update the screen's statistics counters to their latest values.
