I've recently set up my new 7800N. I've looked through the whole web interface, but I can't see anything that will tell me whether interleaving is enabled on my line or not. Is there a way to do this? Maybe via the CLI?

Contact your ISP and they'll tell you - routers only deliver whatever comes down the line.

OK, thanks. I know that some modems allow you to determine if interleaving is enabled; I just wondered whether the 7800N was one of them.

Using your telnet client of choice, logon to the router.
then type "adsl info --stats"

This will give a load of info , but at the top you will see something similar to ...

adsl: ADSL driver and PHY status
Status: Showtime
Retrain Reason: 0
Max: Upstream rate = 1060 Kbps, Downstream rate = 11296 Kbps
Channel: FAST, Upstream rate = 448 Kbps, Downstream rate = 8128 Kbps


Channel: FAST = no interleaving
Channel: INTR = interleaving

For some reason or other, Telnet displays can differ with 7800Ns and may not display that info such as mine, unless the Path: value denotes that, but that isn't apparent as to whether it's Interleaved or Fastpath.

adsl: ADSL driver and PHY status
Status: Showtime
Retrain Reason: 8000
Max: Upstream rate = 1052 Kbps, Downstream rate = 7036 Kbps
Path: 0, Upstream rate = 1020 Kbps, Downstream rate = 6201 Kbps

Link Power State: L0
Mode: ADSL2+
TPS-TC: ATM Mode
Trellis: U:ON /D:ON
Line Status: No Defect
Training Status: Showtime

Oops - didn't realise that .... a bad asssumption on my part ...
Looks like an ADSL mode gives my output, and an ADSL2+ mode gives yours....

Wonder what Mike is running ?

edit: just noticed (for 1.06g at least) that it appears to show the interleaving status
in the system log when it logs the connect event ...

i.e.
Jan 01 00:00:37 user kernel: Line 0: ADSL link up, fast, us=448, ds=8128

Here's my output:

> adsl info --stats
adsl: ADSL driver and PHY status
Status: Showtime
Retrain Reason: 8000
Max: Upstream rate = 1188 Kbps, Downstream rate = 20136 Kbps
Path: 0, Upstream rate = 1150 Kbps, Downstream rate = 16685 Kbps

Link Power State: L0
Mode: ADSL2+
TPS-TC: ATM Mode
Trellis: U:ON /D:ON
Line Status: No Defect
Training Status: Showtime
Down Up
SNR (dB): 1.1 6.5
Attn(dB): 32.5 16.9
Pwr(dBm): 0.0 12.9

Maybe "Path: 0" equates to interleaving off when connecting via ADSL2+? Anyone from Billion care to comment?

We don't normally comment on telnet or CLI commands, as we can only support what is within the web interface.

But after checking our line with another model that shows the latency as Interleave, I plugged up my test 7800N and did a quick telnet "adsl info --stats"

My line shows as 0, so I assume this means Interleave, I should be able to confirm this once I get home as my line at home is set to fastpath (good old Be)

Thanks billion_fan.

In that case, can I request this information is added somewhere in the web interface?

I know I can check with with my ISP (Plusnet), but I wanted to see what my modem was reporting before I did so.
