Thread: Frequent disconnections ? Try this

Seamless Rate Adaptation (SRA)

SRA allows modems to make seamless data transfer rate changes to avoid dropping a connection. Modems are affected by cross talk from adjacent lines, as well as by other interference such as temperature changes and radio signals. Any interference on the connection can cause a modem to retrain on another connection and drop the existing connection. SRA makes dynamic data transfer rate changes to accommodate temporary noise conditions on the line thus preventing dropped connections.

Almost all modems have an option to turn it on. Here is the screen shot of DNA-A211-I model

talktoanil : Good info !

In my Nokia Siemens C2110, SRA is enabled but still once or twice in a week the line gets dropped. So it shows that even SRA cannot save us all the time !

SRA : ITU G.992.3/4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nice piece of information.
trying this on my BSNL DataOne modem.
for the last 4-6 months we are being disconnected atleast 6-7 times per hour.

Will update this thread with my resutls soon.

No frequent disconnections but disconnects within 10 minutes from the time it is powered on. Has enabled the SRA option will check and post the results.

Hey, my old WA1003A doesn't have this option..

Both the router and DSLAM need to be able to support SRA.

check Line rate /rate with/without SRA.
Doubt BSNL has this facility.
usually for a stable connection ADSL2+ is disabled and Gdmt selected for lower sync speeds.

It seems like only your modem has this settings.
