Ptcl BroadBand New SNR Attenuation Noise Margin Guide 2011-12 Everyone is asking in PTCL topic about this

so instead of posting information ab out this there again and again. Here's a topic for these values. You can check these values by logging into your modem. These show the line stats - condition of the line in other words i.e. how good is your modem able to sign al DSLAM at exchange. The values are being given below. For some DSL might work perfectly even if some values are not optimal but it depends a lot of many condi tions. If your line stats are bad and you are facing DSL problems like disconnection, u nsyn and speed problems then file a complaint on 1218 for a Noisy Telephone Line and get it fixed. It might also happen if your line has bad joints. Although what is monitored and the exact name may be different depending on manu facturer, the overall information is pretty much the same. Below are some of the common terms and measurements used to judge line quality. Remember these are no t hard numbers but simply a generalization of line statistics: SN Margin/Noise Margin/SNR (AKA Signal to Noise Margin or Signal to Noise Ratio) Relative strength of the DSL signal to Noise ratio. 6dB is generally the lowest dB manufactures specify in order for the modem to be able to synch. In some inst ances interleaving can help raise the noise margin to an acceptable level. Gener ally speaking, as overall bandwidth increases, your signal to noise ratio decrea ses. So a customer that upgrades from 1.5 to 6.0 service will typically see a co rresponding decrease in the signal to noise ratio. The higher the number the bet ter for this measurement. 6dB or below is bad and will experience no synch or intermittent synch problems 7dB-10dB is fair but does not leave much room for variances in conditions 11dB-20dB is good with no synch problems 20dB-28dB is excellent 29dB or above is outstanding Line Attenuation Measure of how much the signal has degraded between the DSLAM and the modem. Max imum signal loss recommendation is usually about 60dB. One of the biggest factor s affecting line attenuation is distance from the DSLAM. Generally speaking, big ger distances mean higher attenuation. The lower the dB the better for this meas urement. 20dB and below is outstanding 20dB-30dB is excellent 30dB-40dB is very good 40dB-50dB is good 50dB-60dB is poor and may experience connectivity issues 60dB or above is bad and will experience connectivity issues Read more: Ptcl BroadBand New SNR Attenuation Noise Margin Guide 2011-12 http:// www.friendsmania.in/forum/showthread.php?t=105785#ixzz1xw1U7Wti
