T5 Radio DSL Errors

About this task

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 error data:

Procedure

Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
Select the Wireless Controller node from the left navigation pane and select a T5 controller from amongst those displayed.

Select the DSL menu item. Select the Errors tab.

The DSL Errors screen displays the following:


Name	Lists the name of the DSL utilized by each T5 controller connected CPE device.
Line Downstream Fecs	Lists the number of Fecs detected in the downstream direction. Forward Error Correction (FEC) or channel coding is used for controlling errors over unreliable or noisy communication channels
Downstream Coding Violations	Lists the number of CPE DSL coding violations (badly coded packets) detected in the downstream direction.
Line Upstream Fecs	Lists the number of Fecs detected in the upstream direction. Forward Error Correction (FEC) or channel coding is used for controlling errors over unreliable or noisy communication channels
Upstream Coding Violations	Lists the number of CPE DSL coding violations (badly coded packets) detected in the upstream direction.
