How the Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA works Embedded line testing technologies The Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA relies on several embedded testing technologies. The Single Ended Line Test (SELT) is a reflectometric test mainly aimed at measuring line length and locating line problems. Consequently, it is used for the estimation of potential line capacity or for the location of possible line impairments. The Dual Ended Line Testing (DELT) is based on the exploitation of DSL physical layer parameters. DELT

Dynamic line management Dynamic line management is a capability provided by the Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA, which greatly improves DSL line stability. With real-time services such as voice and video, line stability has become paramount. To enforce line stability, the Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA monitors key DSL line parameters and triggers line profile re-configuration, according to pre-defined line profile transitions. This process enables you to fine-tune parameters such as line speed, interleave
