Annex B models are available, but MOQs (minimum order quantities) may apply – non stock item.

Via the CLI :

soloscli -g 0 RxBitRate

soloscli -g 0 LocalSNRMargin

Note : For the second port use the “-g 1” option.

 

The following statistics are available via soloscli :

TxBitRate, RxBitRate, RxATTNDR, TxATTNDR, AnnexType, TxCellRate, RxCellRate, PhyTXCellCount, PhyRXCellCount, PhyCellDropCount, RSCorrectedErrorsDn, RSUnCorrectedErrorsDn, RSCorrectedErrorsUp, RSUnCorrectedErrorsUp, ShowtimeStart, ATURVendor, ATUCCountry, ATURANSIRev, ATURANSISTD, ATUCANSIRev, ATUCANSIId, ATUCANSISTD, LocalSEF, LocalEndLOS

LocalSNRMargin, LocalLineAttn, INPup, INPdown, RawAttn, LocalTxPower, RemoteTxPower, RemoteSEF,

RemoteLOS, RemoteLineAttn, RemoteSNRMargin, LineUpCount

 

For more details see Appendix B of the Geos User Manual

To force ADSL1...

soloscli -s 0 BisACapability Disable {disable adsl2/2+}
soloscli -s 0 BisMCapability Disable {disable annex M}
soloscli -s 0 ActivateLine Start {force an ADSL restart}

To revert back to ADSL2+...

soloscli -s 0 BisACapability A2/A2+
soloscli -s 0 BisMCapability M2+/M2
soloscli -s 0 ActivateLine 

For lines that are noisy and frequently drop sync you can force a higher SNR as follows:

soloscli -s 0 BisAMaxMargin Disable {default value is PerCO}
soloscli -s 0 BisAForceSNRMarginDn 0x60 {10dB}
soloscli -s 0 ActivateLine Start

 

Notes :

• For the second port use the “-g 1” option.
• For very noisy lines you can also try values of 0x78 (12dB) and 0x8C (14dB)

PPPoA (RFC 2364)

PPPoE (RFC 2516)

Bridged Ethernet (RFC 1483/2684)

ML-PPP (RFC 1990)

 

These vary depending on the country and provider, the most common values are :

 

Country	VPI	VCI
Australia	8	35
France	8	35
UK	0	38
USA	8	35
New Zealand	0	100

Yes ML-PPP is supported for both PPPoE and PPPoA links.

The ADSL hardware on the Geos uses the GPL Linux Solos driver. Linux kernels 2.6.23 and later are currently supported. The following table indicates which driver to use for various kernels :

 

Kernel	Source	Comments
2.6.23 – 2.6.28	http://sourceforge.net/projects/openadsl/files/linux-solos-driver/	Not part of these standard kernels.
2.6.29, 2.6.30	http://sourceforge.net/projects/openadsl/files/linux-solos-driver/	Apply patches to standard kernel.
2.6.31 and later	Included in standard kernel source
3.0.1 and later	Included in standard kernel source

Refer to section 3.2 of of the Geos User Manual {link}

 

If you experience any performance issues try:

CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE = NO

Voltage : 9 – 14 VDC

Current : 1.0A (12W, Typical), 3.0A (Max.)

Connector : 5.5/2.5mm, centre positive

 

IMPORTANT : For safety reasons, the negative connection on the PSU should be connected to Mains Earth.

The push-button switch is made available through the solos-pci driver.

Button not pressed:
# cat /sys/class/atm/solos-pci0/parameters/PushButton
1

While button is pressed:
# cat /sys/class/atm/solos-pci0/parameters/PushButton
0

echo -e "\007" >/dev/tty10

RS-232

115,200 bps

8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit, No parity

Add the following in /boot/grub/menu.lst:

 

serial --unit=0 --speed=115200  --word=8 --parity=no –stop=1 terminal serial

 

Your Kernel command line will also need:

console=ttyS0,115200n8

 

/etc/inittab will need:

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
