Well, on Broadcom based chips running standard ADSL, reason 2 is negative margin
whether that applies to your setup/router/FTTC service I have no idea.

I posted some duff info about this on thinkbroadband, but it's too long ago to correct..

GrahamC posted Retrain Codes in this message on the plus.net forum [1]

It looks like Graham got the Codes from the source code for Broadcom's DSL driver [2]

Code: [Select]
/*  line-drop reason code */
#define kRetrainReasonLosDetector                   0
#define kRetrainReasonRdiDetector                   1
#define kRetrainReasonNegativeMargin                2
#define kRetrainReasonTooManyUsFEC                  3
#define kRetrainReasonCReverb1Misdetection          4
#define kRetrainReasonTeqDsp                        5
#define kRetrainReasonAnsiTonePowerChange           6
#define kRetrainReasonIfftSizeChange                7
#define kRetrainReasonRackChange                    8
#define kRetrainReasonVendorIdSync                  9
#define kRetrainReasonTargetMarginSync             10
#define kRetrainReasonToneOrderingException        11
#define kRetrainReasonCommandHandler               12
#define kRetrainReasonDslStartPhysicalLayerCmd     13
#define kRetrainReasonUnknown                      14
#define kRetrainReasonG992Failure                  15
#define kRetrainReasonSes                          16
#define kRetrainReasonCoMinMargin                  17

cheers, a

That would be interesting info to dump on the main site or wiki sometime as I have on occasion wondered what they mean, thanks for the code source asbo.

Im sure Ive seen higher numbers than 17 though, let me try do some digging when I get a min.

Just gone through a quick search on the forums.. 

The one code that crops up quite a lot is  8000 or 8800 for the Netgears DG834Gv4 (broadcom).   Ive also seen a 20 but unsure of the router model.

It would be good to put something like this up though, because it is a question I see asked from time to time

Looking at my D-Link DSL-2740B, I see this in the stats:

Showtime Drop Reason:   8000
Last Retrain Reason:    8000

That drop and retrain corresponded with an incoming phone call.

I have only ever seen 0 & 2 for Retrain Raesons on FTTC/VDSL2 connections using a Huawei HG612 modem.

However, I have seen 0, 1 & 8000 on ADSL connections, still using the Huawei HG612 but in ADSL mode.

b*cat may be able to expand on ADSL Retrain Reasons using that modem/router as it is he that is currently using the HG612 on his ADSL2 connection.

I have seen an 8000 and (I think) a 2000 but I shall have to check to see if I have details of the causes of those Retrain Reasons.

For the record, I am not the only person using a Huawei HG612 for a ADSLx service -- we must not forget the person who made their usage possible by "unlocking" the firmware, Asbokid.  :clap2:

Oh God. Don't rely on me  ???

A recursive grep of the (full) source code tree for the DG834, another Broadcom 63xx-based router, uncovered no obvious references to Retrain Reason 8000.

 Hmm..

Perhaps "8000" isn't defined explicitly in the source. Elsewhere in other code, Broadcom uses offsets or bitwise shifts to define constants. e.g. retrainCode could be stored as (1<<15) or as (0x7000 + 0x1000), or maybe the retrain reason code 8000 is not hexadecimal, but base10 like the reason codes up to 17. etc..   It does seem a strange number, not in keeping with other reason codes. Perhaps it's more of a flag (bit 15 set).

The search continues :)

cheers, a

I had this error in the Log of the HG612 just the one.

2000-1-1 0:0:3 Warning 10400 KLOB Pool 1 Initialized: 1048576 bytes <0x80300000 ... 0x80400000>

That usually immediately follows a reboot, so it isn't really an error.
If you did indeed set the date/time for the inbuilt log, then a reboot resets it to 2000-1-1, whereas an on the fly resync doesn't:-

2000-1-1 0:0:21 Notice 104500 DSL activate succeed

So are you now in sync at higher than 30Mb?

Just for curiosity, does your SNR graph change much between morning & night time?

b*cat goes into pedantic mode and says that there is no error noted on the line you have quoted, only a Warning:P

It does seem a strange number, not in keeping with other reason codes. Perhaps it's more of a flag (bit 15 set).

That is what I am considering . . .  :-\

However I am now in a position to correct my earlier statement. The only Retrain Reason codes I currently have on record are 0, 1 and 8000.

Code: [Select]
[b*cat@Duo2 HG612]$ grep -iR reason * | sort | uniq
ADSL1/data-20120630.txt:Retrain Reason: 1
ADSL1/data-20120705.txt:Retrain Reason: 0
ADSL2+/data-20120703.txt:Retrain Reason: 8000
ADSL2+/data-20120704.txt:Retrain Reason: 8000
ADSL2/data-20120709.txt:Retrain Reason: 8000
[b*cat@Duo2 HG612]$
