3.1.3 Power Backoff
The transmit power of the modems can be decreased by activating the power back-off mode. This
reduces interference to other transmission systems operating on adjacent pairs bundled in the
same cable.
With enabled power back-off the transmit power will be reduced adaptively in function of the esti-
mated cable attenuation:
Estimated Power Loss(*) Power Backoff
< 1 dB 6 dB
< 2 dB 5 dB
< 3 dB 4 dB
< 4 dB 3 dB
< 5 dB 2 dB
< 6 dB 1 dB
6 dB
no backoff
(*) Calculated as Tx Power – Esti-
mated Rx Power

Note: Power backoff can be configured individually for plugin and tabletop.
3.1.4 Symmetric and Asymmetric PSDs
The Watson 5 Ethernet tabletop modems support asymmetric PSDs for linerates of 2'056 kbit/s and
2'312 kbit/s.
Activating asymmetrical PSD masks will increase upstream transmit power (STU-R " STU-C).
This improves near-end crosstalk (NEXT) at the STU-C side and will increase the possible loop
length in cases where many DSL links have to share the same cable e.g. coming out of a central of-
fice.
Note: The Watson 5 Ethernet plugin does not support asymmetric PSDs.
3.1.5 DSL Performance
The Watson 5 Ethernet modems provide information about the current Signal Quality and Attenua-
tion of a DSL link.
Signal Quality
The Signal Quality is the noise margin calculated by the modem:
SQ = SNR1 - SNR0
Where
SQ is the calculated noise margin
SNR1 is the signal to noise ratio calculated by the transceiver by analyzing the error correc-
tion bits (Trellis bits) in the line code.
SNR0 is the signal to noise ratio that gives a bit error rate of 10
-7
in presence of average
white Gaussian noise. For TC-PAM16 the theoretical value for SNR0 is 27.7 dB.
