Re: Radius Log Request

Nothing electrical switching on or off here. Yes, it is running over a wireless connection - the router, as I may have mentioned before is in the upstairs 'office', this machine is directly below in the lounge.
The graph below shows the effects of a 58 minute OUTGOING call. Roll_eyes

Re: Radius Log Request

OK - everything reconnected.
I changed the filters on both the phone and router for the new ones supplied with the new router.
BT cabling is in a WHITE sheath as is all internal cabling - see pictures below.
I couldn't remove the backplate from the box - they must have either cross-threaded or really screwed it in -I'm not the strongest of people and didn't want to risk causing any damage.
No noise at all from QLT.
Extension box had T3 and T4 connected - it hasn't any more.
There were green/white - white green wires on 1 & 6 - I've left them in place.
Pictures below (in order) are (1) drop wire, (2) connector box in back doorframe, (3) upstairs extension box [sorry about the shakes] and (4) NTE5 box

Re: Radius Log Request

Good info there. Just to confirm, you did remove the orange/white off 3 at the NTE5a?
The Upstream SNRM definitely showing up the problem nicely.
Drop wire looks to be fine and upto the correct standard.
Now that connector box on the door frame could well do with a look inside, and a nice clear picture of its insides and the connections Wink Looking at that should remove the need to look at the rear of the NTE5a.

Re: Radius Log Request

Yup 9 orange/white on the NTE5A terminal 3 removed.
I'll try and get to that connector box tomorrow - all that fiddling about this afternoon has left me knackered  Wink - no seriously, my shoulders didn't like some of the positions I was in, and I'll need the step-ladder, being all of 5' 0" short.
I assume everything else is OK?
BTW - another incoming call dropped the US SNRM again - but DS was almost straight 6 for 99.9% of the call.

Re: Radius Log Request

Quite understand about awkward positions. No rush. Everything else seems fine, apart obviously from the SNRM variations due to the presumed bad joint somewhere, not uncommonly shown up quite clearly on the US SNRM.  As you've changed the filters, that's obviously eliminated any possible issue with them.
If you can post the SNRM graph showing the drop on the US when convenient. Other than that, leaving the supposed bad joint aside, I'd expect your night time (after dark) DS SNRM graph to be a bit smoother than before, now the bell wire is removed.

Re: Radius Log Request

We might see a bit of 'after dark' activity - my sleeping patter at the moment means I'm often up for a couple of hours in the wee small hours.
SNRM graph attached.

Re: Radius Log Request

Hi, I notice the spikes on the RX line are at 08.11  0911  and 10.11  almost exactly one hour apart?
does that ring any bells?
Initially I was looking at the 08.11 and 09.11 as they were on one picture then I was looking at the afternoon picture with spikes at16-09 and 17.09 again 1 hour apart and it occured to me that that is just about when we have our water heating coming on/off in the summer. I know you were asked about anything electrical but maybe overlooked just a timer, if the heating is gas Smiley

Re: Radius Log Request

Interesting thought, cedlor. It isn't a timer as such, but, I suspect my JD AutoSpeed Tester - it is set to run a speed/ping/jitter test hourly, and maybe when one of those tests runs at exactly the same time as RSL runs it's test, they have a fight. Well spotted. Wink
Unfortunately, that is not the culprit - JDSTAT is running at 27 minutes past.  Next idea?  Wink

Re: Radius Log Request

Well spotted cedlor. I hadn't paid too much attention to timings as I was fairly convinced they were RSL gremlin related (high CPU usage on another task) rather than anything significant that was line related. But actually if you look at the afternoon graph more closely, the times are nearer 1611, 1711.
So how about some other update or other process running hourly? AV?
Noisy US SNRM noted btw.

Re: Radius Log Request

Sorry, AO - AVG Free only runs updates 3 times daily - 1 a few minutes after start-up, 1 about an hour later and 1 around 19.30.

Just had an xDSL drop - and the resulting horrible speed reduction.

Re: Radius Log Request

That does look rather horrible, you might as well do a "graceful" resync if the SNRM graphs are looking steady. Whilst you are off-line, use the ringback 17070 option 1 and leave it until it stops. Check the line for noise. Repeat the ringback if you hear any. Then power up again.
Any SNRM graphs from after dark yesterday?
As far as hourly update checks go, have a look at Flash. I recently updated the "pepper" version -  Opera/Chrome - hadn't loaded it previously as I didn't use them and I don't normally allow auto-updates, anyway today sorting a few Flash and other issues, I discovered an hourly task Angry  Well that's been deleted!

Re: Radius Log Request

I'll leave it for tonight, AO - DS graph is up & down (sawtooth) between 12.4/12.9 and at this time of night I don't really want to risk it.
FWIW, I tried a BTW speedtest + diagnostics, but it failed on diags - and I forgot what it said at the first stage.
Further report mid-morning tomorrow, and I'll try and add that last photo at the same time.
Checked - no hourly Flash check and unless I'm missing something, none for any other software, either. Silly question, but wheres the best place to check?
