[ADSL] Synchronization issues: the causes
With the expanded use of broadband there is a recurring problem causing disconnections, service cuts, ADSL synchronization.
Definition
What is ADSL sync? To transport the data through your telephone line, ADSL uses higher frequencies between your modem and router NRA (your ADSL central). Depending on your location relative to the central function and also airlines, you will get a signal that is defined by 3 main elements:
- The speed synchronization (also called debit ATM).
- The margin of signal noise. To be quite simple, ADSL uses a frequency band. The margin of signal noise is the difference between the highest point of the band, which is deducted the noise on the line. It remains a margin, typically around 10 dB.
- The mitigation. The latter will vary depending on the quality of your telephone line and your connections.
Connections: the good points to check
- The telephone extension. Completely banned: to connect your ADSL modem. Indeed, the extension telephone will capture all the noise surrounding your home (and there are many: DECT phone ...). These will create an increase in attenuation on your line, causing a flow is less, a complete loss of signal ADSL.
- Electromagnetic environment. ADSL modems are generally very sensitive to their environment. Avoid close modem: DECT, halogen lamps, loudspeakers, amplifiers ... In short, anything that can emit radiation.
- The ADSL filters. The ADSL filter will allow to separate the frequencies used by ADSL and telephony. It is imperative to install filters to improve your ADSL signal.
- The main outlet. When France Telecom carries out an installation in a habitat, there is always a main outlet, which connects one or more catches. For ADSL, it is always best to connect to the main outlet, with the aim to improve the ADSL signal.
These tips will allow you to have an optimal configuration, which will solve most synchronization problems of ADSL.
