ADSL Status window displays the current state of the ADSL connection, including current
ADSL State, ADSL protocol in use and the net data rates for upstream and downstream

ADSL State, ADSL protocol in use and the net data rates for upstream and downstream
data.
NOTE: ADSL protocols supported by the IA-300 drivers are T1.413_i2, G.dmt and G.lite.
The protocol must be supported also by the ADSL equipment located at the central office.
The IA-300 drives use the protocol that results in the most efficient ADSL connection.

Re-training Count tracks the number of ADSL connections performed. Due to
unexpected line condition changes, the IA-300 drivers can retrain the connection causing
the Re-training Count total to increment. The Diagnostic Tool icon will flash yellow while
reconnecting. ADSL implements Reed Solomon (RS) error checking:

FEC Count tracks the forward error correction count.
CRC Count tracks the accuracy of correcting data errors over each 17msec.
ATM HEC Count (header error check) errors are recorded as an indication of ATM packet

As a measure of packet transfer performance, the Packet Errors are counted and tracked
against the total number of Packets Received. An error rate of less than 0.1% is
reasonable under clean ADSL line conditions.
against the total number of Packets Received. An error rate of less than 0.1% is
reasonable under clean ADSL line conditions.
If you have Bad Received Packets and are concerned about your service, multiply the Bad
Received Packets count by 1000 and compare the result with the total Packets
Received count. If the number is smaller than the total Packets Received count, then the
board is operating normally.

HARDWARE DIAGNOSTICS
The Diagnostic Tool is used to verify the IA-300 card functionality. Running the Diagnostic
program will disconnect the NIC from the ADSL line. Close all Dial-up sessions and close
all files before running the Diagnostic program. Right-click the Diagnostic Tool Icon
(located on the taskbar), then select the Diagnostic option. Product Information, e.g. driver
revisions, are displayed by clicking the Product Info tab.

Product Information lists the versions of the Diagnostic Tools (e.g. version 2.1) and the
protocol Drivers installed (e.g. Version 1.3). The DLL version describes the software being
used by both the drivers and Diagnostic Tools software.
