The following table describes the labels in this screen.
PhyR DS Enable or disable PhyR DS (downstream) for downstream transmission from the WAN.
PhyR DS should be enabled if data being transmitted downstream is sensitive to noise.
However, enabling PhyR DS can decrease the DS line rate. Enabling or disabling PhyR will
require the CPE to retrain. For PhyR to function, the DSLAM must also support PhyR and
have it enabled.
SRA Enable or disable Seamless Rate Adaption (SRA). Select Enable to have the Device
automatically adjust the connection’s data rate according to line conditions without
interrupting service.
