6.4 The Advanced Screen
Use the Advanced screen to enable or disable PTM over ADSL, Annex M, and DSL PhyR functions.
The Device supports the PhyR retransmission scheme. PhyR is a retransmission scheme designed to
provide protection against noise on the DSL line. It improves voice, video and data transmission
resilience by utilizing a retransmission buffer.
6.4.1 DSL Bonding
If the DSLAM of your ISP supports DSL bonding, you can connect the two DSL ports on the Device
to two separate telephone jacks and enable the bonding feature in the Advanced screen.
DSL signals have distance limitations. VDSL2 (profile 17a) supports greater speed but offer shorter
distances (within 3000 ft). The farther away the subscribers are from the DSLAM, the slower the
speed. VDSL (profile 12a) provides longer distance range (over 3000 ft) but at lower speeds. DSL
bonding allows subscribers to use data streams spread over two DSL lines in order to (almost)
double the speed at longer distances. You may choose to use DSL bonding if the DSLAM supports it
and there are two DSL lines to the DSLAM.
The total available bandwidth for the subscriber then becomes the sum of the bandwidth available
for each of the subscriber’s line connections. The data rate depends on the DSL type, its standard/
profile, and the standard/profile that the DSLAM supports. The table below shows the transmission
data rate for single DSL line and DSL bonding.
