Billion BiPAC 8800AXL R2 - What An Improvement

[Grimers]

Yeah, it's set to 100%. We've bought a repeater because even with previous devices, some parts of the house couldn't get a decent signal anyway.

What chipset does this have?

Thanks.

Hi billion_fan,

The upstream ES and now SES counters on both downstream and upstream are broken. The upstream ES counter seems to go up even when there's nothing to cause it and sometimes (on both downstream and upstream) when there's only a few CRC's (say 2) in an ES, it reports it as a SES (AFAIK, 9 + CRC's make an SES). Also, sometimes when there are more than 9 CRC's in an ES (in this example 12) it just reports it as an ES not SES.

I hope I've explained it ok, as I've noticed I've mentioned "ES" and "SES" several times in the previous paragraph.

Here's a screenshot from the telnet interface:



Thanks!

I'll check with our engineers

What is the quality of your line like?? Do you experience any drop outs??

Can you post a screen capture of your xDSL page.

[Grimers]

It's not brilliant. It experiences errors but doesn't drop out from noise.

Hi! Any update on this? Random upstream ES keep appearing out of nowhere e.g. just had 3 ES/2 CRC's in a minute. It doesn't match. The only thing I can think of is if the CRC occured over the boundary of 2 seconds, but I thought this was impossible?! The device is running the 2.52.d5 firmware.
