| Any 5100b technician page DMT/SNR data experts?
Are there any people out there that can read and understand the DMT/SNR data collected by the 5100b?
I've been collecting a significant amount of data on an intermittent problem. Every 5 minutes I save the technician page readout that the 5100b provides.
Here is a snapshot of the 5100b data when the problem is occurring: (5100-20050602-074500.txt)

Any ideas what could murder the DSL signal like this? Have you seen anything like this before?

| Let me add some history. The 3.0/512 Pro profile as shown above worked for all of April 2005. Starting May 1, 2005, the line would lose sync twice a weekday. During the problem period, the line mysteriously grows 2000-4000 feet in length according to the DSLAM.
Recently, SBC has tried to solve the problem shown above by switching me to a replacement pair of wires, that exhibits the same problem I described in the earlier part of this thread.
The latest resolution was to switch me from the 1.5Mb/384 profile to 768/384. So far this weekend, the line hasn't lost sync at the lower speed, but it does exhibit what I believe to be amazingly similar graphs when compared to the same kind of graphs I was seeing at 3.0/512 profile speeds. Notice how the nice stair-step DMT graph goes into a jagged lower-quality signal during the problem?
Here's the line as it looks just before the problem.

Here's the line as it looks during the problem.

Here's the line quality after I power cycled the modem a short while later. (It stays looking basically like this from 1pm til 6am the next morning.)

Does anyone have any expert knowledge on the SNR/DMT values/graphs I'm getting from my 5100b?
By the way, I have QuickTime movies of the problem drawn graphically for the last 16 days.
Thanks, --justbits |

| reply to justbits I'm not an expert, but until someone arrives with a better answer..... I can tell you that the first read out shows 0.0 snr, which means that there is no signal to noise margin. The second graph shows a snr of 13 which is perfectly acceptable. This means that there is noise on the line. Something that could possibly be corrected by you. No guarantee, but in order for sbc to zero in on the problem, they will probably ask you to check your set up from the nid to the inside wiring. To do this, the first thing you'll want to do is find a way to plug the modem in directly to the nid (gray box mounted outside, usually near the electric meter). Just run a line fromt the modem to the nid. Unplug the phone wire, and plug in the modem. Check the stats and post them here. This is a good start, I'm sure someone else with more expertise will reply soon. Good luck. PS: Also, if you have a router, eliminate it from the setup temorarily. When you run the modem to the nid, also run it to the computer directly. --

I gotta admit that I edited that. The 5100b modem reports erroneous SNRM when the signal to noise ratio goes off the scale. Notice the 126.0 and 127.0 samples in the SNRM Carrier Frequency data. It actually recorded an insanely large value for the SNRM (2147483646.0) that I replaced with 0.0 since it was unable to correctly calculate the SNRM. I figured 0.0 made more sense than an insanely large value due to the modem miscalculating the SNRM.

To do this, the first thing you'll want to do is find a way to plug the modem in directly to the nid (gray box mounted outside, usually near the electric meter). Been there, done that. I have a "Home Run". It's a known-good 8 foot CAT 5 cable going directly from the NID into a microfilter, split directly into the modem and 1 telephone. I have tried 4 different modems. They all saw the loss of DSL sync problem. The last DSL sync time is on the graph. For the first failure case, the line dropped syn 26 minutes earlier. After 30 minutes of signals that looked poor and jagged like the first chart, the problem disappeared as the second chart showed.
I also literally turned off every electronic component in my house and disconnected the POTS telephone. The problem still occurred.

When you run the modem to the nid, also run it to the computer directly. This isn't a Internet routing problem. The DSL modem loses sync during the problem period. The modem records a loss of sync.
For the first problem shown, the modem logged this:
2005/06/02 07:45:00
32 Time Since Last Sync 000 days 00:26:35
+001 days 22:44:12 E |DSL |Link Down +001 days 22:44:12 E |DSL |State: WAITING +001 days 22:44:20 E |DSL |State: INITIALIZING +001 days 22:44:27 E |DSL |HYBRID 1 +001 days 22:44:27 E |DSL |Link up 17 US 512 DS 2464 (FAST:G.dmt)
Right before the problem occurred, I recored this:

Right afterwards:

Does anyone know how to calculate Maximum Attainable Rate from the SNRM/DMT bit bin data? Are there any other interesting values I can calculate from these two hunks of data?

Bits,
If your graphs are correct, you should not have the "holes" in the graph. The left "hump"(horizontally short)is your upstream and the right "hump" (horizontally long)is your downstream. Each graph you posted, except the first, report "holes" or slices in the downstream portion. On the graph they are the white "slices" where the red is missing so to speak. The overall shape looks decent. But the holes show trouble. 1 skinny one is sometimes OK, but you show more, and one of the graphs is just full of spikes. Spikes are ugly.
Are you CO or RT fed? Just curious. You may have said already.
According to your post, its good that you went right to the nid, homerun with the cat5 etc.
Any reply from posting to Direct? Probably have to wait till Monday morning I guess. Definitely will get some good analysis from those guys on your modem log and graphs.
The bottom line is, assuming outside trouble, (which I think is safe to do in this case) is to have a trouble ticket opened so a tech can dispatch and confirm bits graph holes and monitor the line with his/her test set etc and justify opening a trouble ticket to the line techs to find a pair thats not reflecting these holes and any other issues the tech may find. It may require a vendor meet too, just heads up.
Last thought, the 2Wire modems are great for analysis and troubleshooting. They give max attainable unlike the B modems. Hopefully Efficient will provide a firmware upgrade or the like to add that feature to an otherwise great modem in the B. |

Have you tried getting set to an interleaved profile? Before I had a home run, the best the modem could do was 2464/512. After the homerun, I could do 3000/512. A temporary solution to the problem was to see if the problem still occurred at 2464/512 after the homerun was in place. It still did. Over time, the modem was daily syncing at slower speeds. It started at 2.6/512, then 2.4/512, then 2.0/512, then 1.9/512, then 1.8/512. For a while, it wouldn't sync higher than 1.8/512 unless I rebooted the 5360 modem.
An interleaved profile was tried. 1.5/384 INTL:G.dmt. Ping times went from 11ms to 54ms. The problem still occurred.
Here's some more history. The problem occurs with 5100b firmware 1.0.0.36 and 1.0.0.39. There are no remote terminals. I've been told that no RT is planned so it's not like they're in the middle of cutting in a RT. The SBC provided Speedstream 5360 would fail to sync for the entire 30-45 minute duration that the failure was occurring. I think the problem duration is exactly 30 or 45 minutes. A SBC 5100b 5100b I borrowed from my brother drops sync, but then is able to resync 30 seconds to 5 minutes later at a lower sync rate. After the problem is over, the 5360 and 5100b were able to sync at full speed. To clear up the "jagged lines" graphs, all I have to do is power cycle the modem or force the modem to resync.

AlEinstein,
I am CO fed. No RT. After having 3 horrible experiences with having to go through the same "script" with tier 1 tech support, I started reporting all information on the problem to a thread in SBC Direct. It's 5 pages long and detailed. »[TROUBLE] Speed drop from 2400/443 to 1500/443 There have been 7 ASI trouble tickets so far. A bunch of them were closed with a simple resolution unrelated to the problem.
First visit by ASI: found two bridge taps.
Second visit by Ameritech: couldn't remove bridge tap due to satellite dish on telephone pole. See: »OT: Satellite dish attached to utility pole? And: »Satellite dish on public utility pole? (part 2)
Another visit by Ameritech: Supposedly they came and removed the bridge tap(s).
Third visit by ASI: Saw a really noisy line. Still saw bridge taps. Said that DSLAM was estimating the line at 14,000 feet when in March it was estimated at 9,900 feet. The weather & temperature and humidity were pretty much the same from March until the middle of May. It's not a weather issue.
Fourth visit by Ameritech: Blamed inside wiring, even with a home run installed!
Fifth visit by ASI and Ameritech (last Monday): went through wire bundle and found a replacement pair of wire. Had to go through a bunch of pairs before finding a pair of wires that looked like it could support Pro package. Same problem occurs. This line fails even worse ... when the problem occurred on Tuesday, it couldn't even hold 784/384 and had to be forced to 384/384 to keep sync. With the line forced to 784/384, Friday and Saturday and Sunday no loss of sync occurred, but the intermittent high levels of noise (jagged/spikey graphs) still exist at approximately the same times that they have occurred in the past. We'll see if it doesn't lose sync today or tomorrow.
I think I missed a visit in there... oh wait! They did. Last Friday, ASI was supposed to show up on-site, but missed the appointment because it was scheduled for 2008, not 2005.
I've seen people quote the Maximum attainable rate by looking at the technician data. There's gotta be a way to calculate/estimate it.
I've been trying to work with the 5100b's hidden XML interface to see if it isn't disabled in the XML interface, but am having no luck. If anyone knows anything about the 5100b XML interface, send me an IM.

My 2 cents, for what its worth, just looking at the graphs - When the problem is there I see a sine wave pattern... fixed lenght distances between the peaks, both on the Bits and the SNR. Just look at the SNR, its a sine wave pattern, something is beating with the base signal.
To me this looks like some kind of RFI pickup and harmonics into the phone line. Are there any AM radio transmitters nearby? Odd that it would start on "May 1" and then do it twice a day. Something somewhere got installed nearby.
That's about as far as I can take it. Where is RadioDoc when you need him?

| I don't believe I am near any AM transmitters.
Someone said that a T1 that's active could cause this kind of interference. I've doubted that all along. But, when there's supposedly "9 T1s in the same wire bundle as your pair", I suppose that sounds plausible, but the harmonic frequency interference doesn't seem to indicate T1 interference, does it?
I started noticing the problem on May 1st. It may have been going on significantly earlier than that start date. It may have been going on as early as September/October of 2004. I do recall connections dropping in the morning as far back as then, but I thought it was due to a faulty T1 modem that we had put in at my workplace 20 miles away from my residence (because I was working offsite at a customer 40 miles away from home & work using SSH tunnels within a SSH tunnel.) I web surf every day, but May 1st was the first time that DSL was down for 30+ minutes. May 8th was the second time, which is when I really started to keep a log of the problem. Basically, from August 2004 til May 2005, I was working at a remote site every day and using my workplace T1 as a tunnelling entry point. Since May 1, 2005, I've been relying on my home DSL as a tunnelling entry point. In the past, I would do frequent Saturday morning web surfing, but I never noticed a loss of DSL sync.
Here's a log that I've been keeping. Times in the PPPoE log are when the line lost sync. Duration of poor signal is unknown for those log entries.
Times in the 5100b section describe a loss of sync, followed by a period of poor signal. Since my pair replacement on 6/3, and the knocking of the speed down to 768/384, the loss of sync doesn't occur, so I have to reboot the modem nightly in order to clear up to signal so I can see when the problem situation occurs the next morning. If I was in a higher profile (1.5/384) the line would lose sync.

As you should see, weekdays are pretty much the same schedule. Weekends and holidays have a different schedule. Sometimes it doesn't occur at all on the weekend.

bits,
I'm not very strong on the radio interference thing like some of the guys here are EG RadioDoc etc.
I have had some experience with the T1 and "highcap" interference. 1 time it was solved by moving to a completly differenct "count" and the other time was solved by moving to an RT.
By the sounds of it moving to an RT isn't going to work for you.
If you're in a predominitely residential area then your "F2" lead shouldn't have many if any T1's. You mentions 9 (I think) T1's in your "wire bundle" I take it you've learned that from one or more of your many service calls from either network or asi. My question is, Are the T1's in the F1 lead or the F2 lead?. If they're in the F1 lead than you can definitely get changed to an entirely different "count/group" or "wire bundle" as you put it. Thereby getting away from, potentially, the T1 interference. But...If the T1's are in the F2 feed then your options are quite possibly narrowed. You still may be able to change your counts but there are some dependencies with that.
At the end of the day, you've done an excellent job with your docs and research. Kudos! The flip side is that the situation is what it is, and is difficult to say if there really is a solution. The T1's are definitely higher on the totem pole than the lowly dsl circuit is! DOOOOH!
Keep up posted |

This just pops up in my mind what condition is the wire coming up to your house? Is your house ariel fed or is it underground? Because when the techs come out to test your interface box they get a chirping noise on the linemans phone when there is dsl active on the line.
When the ASI Tech or the POTS Tech(your not RT fed) comes out to your house they do a signal strength test on the line. Then they get a whole slew of readouts.
If that dish is causing your rf frequency the wire is not shielded and the way they installed that dish is against state law. I bet you it's that box that picks up the signal for the dish. |

| I am fed by ariel wire feed. That ariel feed has not been replaced in about 3 years.
Sometime this week, I'll be replacing the ground wire running to my chimney antenna. I'll also try disconnecting the TV antenna from the house electronics if I'm around when the problem occurs.
I don't get good cell reception in spots in my back yard where I can't see the cell tower. When I'm in line-of-sight, I get good reception. It's about 1000 feet away and on top of an apartment complex. The NID is not within line of sight with the cell tower.

bits,
just thought of one more thing.
Has network ever changed out your "protector" (lightning/power surge fuse) in the nid? Sometime these cause trouble and can't really be picked up on the test set except for by a trained eye and even then can easily be missed or not picked up by the test set.
This should be replaced just for good measure. Its on the network side of the nid/dmarc and can be accessed by either tech, network or asi. Technically its the networks techs job to test/replace it, but they're not always alert to this type of problem and since its on the network side of the nid, asi isn't always aware of this issue either. Basically it can be faulty (albeit slightly) and pass dial tone no problem but will mess with the DSL sig.
Please don't ask how I know this! Just ask one of the techs to change it for a new one for grins and giggles, NO ONE is out anything by doing it.
Also, a 3 year old aerial service wire is pretty darn new unless there is damage from storms or critters.
FYI
BTW, if your entire nid has been changed, very recently, during your whole trouble experience that is, then these protectors come new with the nid. |

| The lightning strike protector hasn't been changed as far as I know. The NID has not been replaced since it was first installed in 2001. (For Rhythms Telocity service. I had 784/784 SDSL once upon a time.)
Since I started reading 5100b data, the modem has never been able to squeeze any DMT bits in sample 64 nor around sample 130. (Take a look at the charts I previously posted. Is that normal?

| I've asked, a couple times now, for you to repost those results during difficulty after having made that adjustment we talked about.
Outage at a particular frequency is common. Which frequencies can tell if you have cordless phones, poor filters, etc.
Since the data should be more reliable now, could you please repost? |

| Here's an example of the data as the problem was occurring this morning. I was screwing around with the wires this morning before 8:00am. The wiring hasn't changed since then. I thought I'd provide 4 samples. (I have samples for every 60 seconds this morning.)
7:25am (during problem period) (v1.0.0.39) 8:00am (during problem period - after replugging some wires) 10:10am (after problem period) 10:20am (after rebooting the modem)

I might be seeing coorelating trends in ECL and CVL. What do those stand for?

| This one has me puzzled, SNR went up which is good. Attenuation is maxing out, which means signal loss but I had it maxed out at 60 and was getting good dsl.
Dish is removed.
Call pots repair and have them test the line.
Only thing I can think of is your line could be crossed, when your on the phone do you hear people in the background? Any echos? Scratching noise? (From the NID test outlet.)
If they switched the pairs that many times, I don't know what else to say. |

I'll try just hooking up the phone and making calls during the problem period if I can. |
