==BT Sync Status Test==
==Overview==

These tests will show the sync status of the line and as well as some other details such as errors etc. They may also state if a fault has been identified.

See below for details on running Status Tests on BT ADSL, BT FTTC and TalkTalk ADSL lines...

==BT ADSL Sync Status Test==


{{CPbox|#Click on the line you want to run the test on
{{CPbox|#Click on the line you want to run the test on
#Click on the Status Test button}}

*Available on BT ADSL lines.

This will report back the current sync status of the line, including error counts. This is non-intrusive and should not cause the line to drop.

Down Sync=6551kbit/s LoopLoss=40.8 dB SNR=13.5 dB ErrSec=0 HECErr=N/A Cells=4001712
Down Sync=6551kbit/s LoopLoss=40.8 dB SNR=13.5 dB ErrSec=0 HECErr=N/A Cells=4001712

This shows the line is '''In Sync''', with an '''Up Sync''' of 854Kb/s, and a '''Down Sync''' of 6551Kb/s.

This one shows that the line has a '''FTB''' - Fault Threshold Breach - ie, the Down Sync ('''6,144''') is less than the Fault Threshold Rate ('''6,374'''). The line speed is below what it should be and would need looking in to. See: [[:Category:Slow_ADSL]]

This will run FTTC/FTTP specific tests and will suggest if it finds a fault or not.

No fault found: (but gives further information about the connection, including sync speed etc.):

A fault has been found, but BT are aware already:
<pre>
Fail:ASSOCIATE_1002 Service found to be affected by existing network event. If fault is known to be caused by something other than the existing network event, please submit a trouble report
</pre>
(Also seen: ASSOCIATE_1000)

==TalkTalk ADSL Status Tests==

[[File:TTW-tests.png|none|frame|TalkTalk Tests]]

===Get Sync Status===
This will return the current sync status of the line

===Example result===

[[File:TTW-Sync-Result.png|border]]

OperStatus:

This is the Operational Status of the Port in the exchange.
*Activating - Line not in sync. This does not mean a modem/router is plugged in, it just means it's waiting for a modem to sync up
*UP - Line is in sync

==TalkTalk Historical Status Tests==
The 'Get Line Data' will retrieve a history of the line, up to 7 days at most.

===Example result===
