A DSL subscriber reports that the CPE modem untrains and retrains several times each hour, but not at regular
intervals. The subscriber has a DMT modem operating on 10 kft of #26 cable (3 km of 0.4 mm cable). The
provisioned downstream rate is 2 mbps, and the provisioned upstream rate is 256 kbps. When the modem
retrains, the downstream DSL may be as low as 512 kbps. Sometimes manually retraining the modem allows it
to return to a 2 mbps line rate, and sometimes manually retraining the modem does not improve the DSL line
rate. Which options would cause the intermittent train/untrain symptom as described? (multiple answer)
A DSLAM is using Reed-Solomon forward error correction on a DMT DSL line. The DSL service is using TCP/ IP over ATM over DSL. A high number of upstream RS uncorrected errors are occurring on the DSL line, as
reported by the DSLAM in the following status message:DSL Statistics:Init Events: 2Transmitted Superframes:

A DSL subscriber says that his DSL modem is trained at the subscribed rates, 1024 kbps downstream and 256 kbps upstream, but he has no access to the internet. The internet service was working until today. The modem
remains trained - it is not dropping train or frequently retraining. Manually retraining the modem does not correct the problem. The customer can ping from his PC to the Ethernet interface on the DSL modem, but not
addresses "in the network". Initial troubleshooting shows that the DSL modem can ping the subscriber's PC, but no addresses in the network. What could cause this problem?
