==Traffic Dump==
*Available on all lines
This will perform a traffic capture of your line (or lines if you have more than one). You can then view the capture on the page or download a pcap file which can be viewed with other software - ege.g. Wireshark.
 
==Sync Status==
Example output:
BT Test xDSL Status Check:Pass Standalone sub test passed successfully.Pass OK. Circuit In Sync
BRAS=5779Kb5779kbit/s FTR=6502Kb6502kbit/s MSR=8128Kb8128kbit/s ServOpt=1 I/L=A

Down Sync=6551Kb6551kbit/s LoopLoss=40.8dB8 dB SNR=13.5dB5 dB ErrSec=0 HECErr=N/A Cells=4001712
 
==Copper Line Test==
Pass Copper Line Test Successful T300:CIDT LINE TEST OK - END USER EQUIPMENT DETECTED
 
Sometimes the line test will (cryptically) suggest that a fault needs to be reported to the phone line provider, ege.g., it will say Report to OR (OpenReach), for example:
BT Test CopperLineTest:Fail Line test failed report fault to OR.fail Line test failed report fault to OR. T023:FAULT - Battery Contact
In this case, report the fault to your phone line provider, if this is BT Retail, then you can report online: https://www.bt.com/faults
If you get a Copper line test error, try the test again with all equipment unplugged, and the NTE5 faceplate removed as the fault could be caused by local wiring or equipment.

==BE Line Data and Settings==
*Available on BE Lines
From here you can set the line profile as well as view sync status. This is non-intrusive and should not cause the line to drop.

==Kill Buttons==
This option can be useful if there has been a problem between AAISP and BT which has caused your connection to pick up a BT test session (and hence IP) instead of a proper AAISP session/IP.
 
It can also be useful if you've changed routing options (ege.g. [[IPv6]] routing, routing of legacy IPs between multiple lines) which also require a new session.

==Automatic Tests==
See [[Automatic_Line_Testing|Automatic Line Testing]] for information on the up/down and regular line testing features.
