Re: [Linux-ATM-General] Due for a new release?

[Guy E. <gu...@tr...>]

Hi Philip,

I'm just working on a new manual, and trying to build a full list of 
usefull ADSL parameters.
If this trick works let me know and I'll include it in the manual.

You could try turning off ADSL2/2+ support, that might speedup training.
Try setting these parameters in this order...

ActivateLine Abort
BisACapability Disable {disable Annex A ADSL2 and ADSL2+}
BisMCapability Disable {disable Annex M ADSL2 and ADSL2+}
ActivateLine Start

To set ADSL parameters use soloscli...

<snip>
Included in the driver tarball on SourceForge is a simple CLI utility to 
allow access to the ADSL
parameters for each port. Usage...
$soloscli -g Port Parameter
$soloscli -s Port Parameter Value
Notes :
g = get
s = set
Port is the ADSL port number with a value of 0 or 1
</snip>

Cheers,

  - Guy.
