ABOUT THE MEGABIT MODEM CRA-C ® The PairGain Megabit Modem™ CRA-C uses Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology to provide, on a single pair telephone line, a multi-megabit Ethernet connection between the subscriber and the service provider. The Megabit Modem CRA-C transmits data up to 3.16 Mbps from a service provider and receives data up to 1.08 Mbps from a subscriber. The Megabit Modem CRA-C is rate adaptive; its speed is adjusted to the maximum attainable data rate depending on

About the Megabit Modem CRA-C The Megabit Modem CRA-C can be set to any one of three modes that determine how the data rate is selected. It is important to note that rate adaptation occurs only during startup. The Megabit Modem CRA-C will not change its data rate while the link is up. The three startup modes are: • Full startup always: In the full startup mode, the system figures out the highest upstream and downstream data rates it can support under the current line conditions, with a margin

About the Megabit Modem CRA-C Reach, Data Rate, SNR Margin, and Noise Environment The maximum transmission rate of the Megabit Modem CRA-C is determined by distance, SNR margin, and the condition of the line (wire gauge, condition noise environment). Figure 1 shows the relationship between reach and data rate for a given set of conditions. The plots can be used to determine the achievable reach at a given data rate, or they may be used to determined the achievable data rates at a given distan
