5.3 DSL
5.3.1 Monitoring Index
This screen provides status information about the Monitoring Index of your DSL connection.
5.3.2 Spectrum
This screen shows graphic representations of the signal-to-noise ratio, the bit allocation and the at-
tenuation of the DSL line signal.
5.4 Internet
A VDSL2 connection allows data transfer rates of up to 100 Mbps in both directions (downstream
and upstream).
Users benefit from the high download transfer rate, which enables them to use numerous multime-
dia services such as high-speed Internet applications, high-quality video streams and voice services.
This screen dialog provides an overview of the status of your Internet connection. It also allows you
to manually disconnect from the Internet and reconnect.
5.4.1 Access Setup
The Access Setup menu item allows you to change your current Internet configuration.
5.4.1.1 Internet Access
The actual layout of this menu depends on which connection type (“DSL Provider”, “Operation be-
hind a router ...” or “Operation behind a modem ...”) you selected under Carrier Detection. The con-
nection type is selected automatically during the initial configuration; it can also be adapted
manually at any time (see Protocol Stack on page 39).
Access data
For the Access data overview item, you will need to specify the access ID provided by your ISP.
Under Provider, you can choose between several pre-configured Internet providers. If your own pro-
vider is not listed, select Other provider.
Specify your access data (Access name and Password) for the Internet. Re-enter the password in the
Confirm password field. For security reasons, the password is not shown as plain text. Note that the
password is case-sensitive and make sure that you spell it correctly.
If you do not know the required access data or if the specified access data is not accepted, please
contact your ISP’s customer service.
WANoE Configuration (only for WANoE connections)
WANoE (Wide Area Network over Ethernet) refers to the use of a separate modem (e.g., a cable mo-
dem) to establish a connection to the Internet or the operation behind a router. Under WANoE Con-
figuration, you can specify the data transfer rate values for your Internet connection. The required
values are indicated in your ISP contract.
Note
First, set up your Internet connection using the Setup Assistant (Chapter 4.2, Carrier De-
tection, on page 20) or the protocol stack (Chapter 5.8.1, Protocol Stack, on page 39).
Once you have configured your access data there, you can make changes here.
