T5 Radio DSL Utilization

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 utilization:

  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 Utilization tab.
    The DSL Utilization screen displays the following:
    Name Lists the name of the DSL utilized by each T5 controller connected CPE device.
    Rx (Kpbs) Displays the listed CPE DSL's receive data rate (in Kbps).
    RX (p/s) Lists a packet per second DSL receive rate.
    Rx Utilization (%) Lists each DSL's receive direction utilization as a percentage of available receive bandwidth available.
    Tx (Kbps) Displays the listed CPE DSL's transmit data rate (in Kbps).
    Tx (p/s) List a packet per second DSL transmit rate.
    Tx Utilization (%) Lists each DSL's transmit direction utilization as a percentage of available transmit bandwidth available.
  4. Select Refresh to update the screen's statistics counters to their latest values.
