1User's Guide to the ITeX Modem Icon UtilityThe Modem Icon Utility will allow the user to monitor the ADSL modem's connection andATM/ADSL states, setup the PVC values, and run a few diagnostics tests.Getting StartedBefore proceeding forward, please make sure that the modem has been installedcorrectly. Contact your network administrator if help is required. The Modem IconUtility is displayed as an icon on the task bar of the windows desktop screen. As shownbelow.Using the Modem IconThe Modem Icon serves two purposes: 1. To display the modem status and 2. To allowthe user to monitor the ADSL modem.Modem StatusThe Modem Icon consists of two lights side by side. These lights are used to displaythe state of the modem. The left light signifies data is being transmitted whereas theright light signifies information is being received. The state of the modem can bedetermined as follows:Code DescriptionRed, Red No signalBlack/Yellow orYellow/Blk flashing Modem is connectingGreen, Black Modem is transmitting dataBlack, Green Modem is receiving dataGreen,Green Modem is transmitting and receiving dataBlack, Black Modem is idle, connected∅Modem is disconnected, or a problem exists
2Placing the mouse cursor on the Modem Icon will show a summary of the modemsstatus by displaying the modem's state, upstream line rate and downstream line rate.Monitoring the ADSL ModemITeX ADSL Test ApplicationPointing to the Modem Icon, and clicking on the left mouse button will display the ITeXADSL Test Application window. From this window, the user will be able to runDiagnostics, review the ADSL modem status and view the ATM/ADSL Statistics. For amore detailed explanation of each window, turn to the appropriate section in this manualfor each menu.
3Modem Icon MenuPointing to the Modem Icon and clicking on the right mouse button will display theModem Icon options window. From this window, the user will be able to: a)"Disconnect" the modem from or "Connect" the modem to the central office equipment;b) Run a diagnostic test to test the modem; c) Monitor the ADSL modem status; d)Monitor various ATM/ADSL statistics and e) configure the PVC values for RFC1577 andRFC1483.Connecting and Disconnecting the ADSL ModemThis option will allow the user to connect to or disconnect from the central officeequipment. If the modem is disconnected, simply choose the connect option and theADSL modem will start to connect. To disconnect the modem, simply select thedisconnect option.ADSL Status MenuThe ADSL Status menu allows the user to monitor the ADSL connection as well asmonitor the transmit and receive line rates.
4ADSL State - displays the current status of the modem. These states are: Connected,Connecting, and Disconnected.Protocol - The protocol section displays which ADSL standard is being used.Transmit /Receive Rate - In the Transmit and Receive section, the user will be able tosee what kind of line rate is being achieved for both upstream and downstream linerates.ATM / ADSL Statistics MenuFrom this menu, the user will be able to see Error Count Information, ATM Transmissionstatistics and ATM Receive statistics.Error Count InformationRe_HSK Count - The number of times handshaking has occurred.CRC error count - The number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors accumulatedduring showtime. The count will be reset to zero after the next handshaking. Duringshowtime, the receiver keeps checking the CRC check sum for each receivedsuperframe. If there is a mismatch between the received check sum and the locallycalculated check sum, a CRC error has occurred.ATM HEC - The number of ATM header error check (HEC) errors accumulated duringshowtime. The count will be reset to zero after the next handshaking. After enteringshowtime, the ATM TC layer at the reciever will undergo a cell delineation huntingprocess by finding the header of each received ATM cell. After successfully finding thecell delineation, the ATM TC layer will keeps checking the HEC check sum for eachreceived ATM cell. If there is a mismatch between the received check sum and thelocally calculated check sum, an ATM HEC error has occurred.
5ATM Transmission Side Statistics - displays the number of packets transmitted.ATM Receive Side Statistics - displays the number of good and bad packets received.Configuration MenuThe Configuration menu will allow the user to check or change the ADSL networkmodems PVC values for RFC1577 and RFC1483. To change the PVC values, simplyselect one of the RFC protocols, enter the VPI and VCI values, and then click on thePVC Setting button. Click Yes when asked to reboot the system. Click on the Closebutton to close the configuration window.
