The following table describes the labels in this screen. 

PhyR DS

Enable or disable PhyR DS (downstream) for downstream transmission from the WAN. 
PhyR DS should be enabled if data being transmitted downstream is sensitive to noise. 
However, enabling PhyR DS can decrease the DS line rate. Enabling or disabling PhyR will 
require the CPE to retrain. For PhyR to function, the DSLAM must also support PhyR and 
have it enabled.
