References to “LT” and “NT” are common throughout the commands. “LT” means means Line Termination 
(unit), which is the P841C VDSL central office side modem. “NT” means Network Termination (unit), which is 
the subscriber’s VDSL modem (P841). 
3.3.2  Command Syntax Conventions 
•  Command keywords are in regular courier font and should be typed in as they appear or in abbreviated 
form (see the next section). 
•  Optional fields (parameters) in a command are enclosed in “[]” brackets. For example, 
P841C> vdsl active [on|off] 
•  The “|” symbol is shorthand for the word “or”. For example, 
vdsl debug [on|off]
