About VDSL testing
2HST-3000 VDSL Testing User’s Guide
About VDSL testing
The HST-3000’s VDSL features use modem emulation
(VTU-R) to turn up and troubleshoot VDSL services as well as
provide packet statistics and analysis. The internet protocol
(IP) suite software option allows IP/PPP troubleshooting. The
on-board web browser option validates an internet connec-
tion.
The capabilities of the VDSL features include the following:
– Variety of VDSL testing modes for service verification,
local loop testing, and network connectivity.
– Wide range of compatibility with industry standards
– On-board web browser for validating the customer’s
internet connection
– Trace route and FTP/HTTP throughput capability
– Customer premise equipment emulation to turn up and
troubleshoot VDSL service, including Ethernet terminal
equipment (TE)
Mode Function
VDSL Modem
emulate mode Used to test basic VDSL physical layer rates, quality and line statistics. Also
used for testing the following types of
lines: IP over Ethernet and PPP over
Ethernet.
VDSL Through
mode Used for testing the following types of lines: Bridged Ethernet and PPP over
Ethernet.
Ethernet TE
mode Used for testing IP over Ethernet and PPP over Ethernet.
