Kinpo Electronics, Inc. User's Guide to the Modem Icon Utility Model No.: A300A Version : E1 Date : Jan. 26, 2000 Software: Itex
1User's Guide to the ITeX Modem Icon Utility The Modem Icon Utility will allow the user to monitor the ADSL modem's connection and ATM/ADSL states, setup the PVC values, and run a few diagnostics tests. Getting Started Before proceeding forward, please make sure that the modem has been installed correctly. Contact your network administrator if help is required. The Modem Icon Utility is displayed as an icon on the task bar of the windows desktop screen. As shown below. Using the Modem Icon The Modem Icon serves two purposes: 1. To display the modem status and 2. To allow the user to monitor the ADSL modem. Modem Status The Modem Icon consists of two lights side by side. These lights are used to display the state of the modem. The left light signifies data is being transmitted whereas the right light signifies information is being received. The state of the modem can be determined as follows: Code Description Red, Red No signal Black/Yellow or Yellow/Blk flashing Modem is connecting Green, Black Modem is transmitting data Black, Green Modem is receiving data Green,Green Modem is transmitting and receiving data Black, Black Modem is idle, connected ∅ Modem is disconnected, or a problem exists
2 Placing the mouse cursor on the Modem Icon will show a summary of the modems status by displaying the modem's state, upstream line rate and downstream line rate. Monitoring the ADSL Modem ADSL Diagnostic Tools Pointing to the Modem Icon, and clicking on the left mouse button will display the ADSL Diagnostic Tools window. From this window, the user will be able to run Diagnostics, review the ADSL modem status and view the ADSL Statistics. For a more detailed explanation of each window, turn to the appropriate section in this manual for each menu.
3Modem Icon Menu Pointing to the Modem Icon and clicking on the right mouse button will display the Modem 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) Monitor the ADSL modem status; c) Run a diagnostic test to test the modem; d) Monitor various ADSL statistics and e) configure the PVC values for RFC1577 and RFC1483. Connecting and Disconnecting the ADSL Modem This option will allow the user to connect to or disconnect from the central office equipment. If the modem is disconnected, simply choose the connect option and the ADSL modem will start to connect. To disconnect the modem, simply select the disconnect option. ADSL Status Menu The ADSL Status menu allows the user to monitor the ADSL connection as well as monitor the transmit and receive line rates.
4ADSL State - displays the current status of the modem. These states are: Listening 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 to see what kind of line rate is being achieved for both upstream and downstream line rates. ADSL Statistics Menu From this menu, the user will be able to see ADSL Information, ATM Transmission statistics, ATM Receive statistics and ADSL Connection Information. ADSL Information Re_training - The number of times handshaking has occurred. FEC Count - The number of forward error correction accumulated during showtime. CRC - The number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors during showtime. The count will be reset to zero after the next handshaking. During showtime, the receiver keeps checking the CRC check sum for each received superframe. If there is a mismatch between the received check sum and the locally calculated check sum, a CRC error has occurred. ATM HEC - The number of ATM header error check (HEC) errors accumulated during showtime. The count will be reset to zero after the next handshaking. After entering showtime, the ATM TC layer at the reciever will undergo a cell delineation hunting process by finding the header of each received ATM cell. After successfully finding the cell delineation, the ATM TC layer will keeps checking the HEC check sum for each received ATM cell. If there is a mismatch between the received check sum and the locally 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. ADSL Connection Information - displays the ADSL state. Configuration Menu The Configuration menu will allow the user to check or change the ADSL network modems PVC values for RFC1577 and RFC1483. To change the PVC values, simply select one of the RFC protocols, enter the VPI and VCI values, and then click on the Setting button. Click Yes when asked to reboot the system. Click on the Close button to close the configuration window.
