ADSL RAG test

The BT Wholesale RAG test comprises of a string of data which breaks down giving information of the status of your line held on the BTw database. The test gets its name from the Red Amber Green status.

You can find out the results of a RAG test by putting your telephone number in the adsl line checker.

Entering your phone number into the checker gives a greater reliability of results than by just using the PostCode alone.

The fields of data break down as follows:-

Field	Checks	Values

1	Fixed Rate adsl (1Mbps and 2Mbps)	R = RED - 1Mbps and 2Mbps not possible A = AMBER - Long line green for 1Mbps, Red for 2Mbps G = GREEN - 1Mbps and 2Mbps available
2	Rate Adaptive adsl (512kbps and 256kbps)	R = RED - 512kbps and 256kbps not possible after engineer check A = AMBER - Line has over 75dB loss. adsl is unlikely, but will be tested by an engineer on-site G = GREEN - 512kbps and 256kbps available
3	Exchange Status	N = Exchange upgrade not planned P = Exchange upgrade due E = Exchange ADSL enabled S = Exchange Activate planned L = Exchange Activate enabled at maximum 512kbps H = Exchange reviewed and deemed unviable F = Exchange under future review R = Exchange part of the Roll-Out programme
4	Line Compatibility	Z = No compatibility issues found. C = Compatibility issue found. This could be several things eg. existing ADSL connection, pending ADSL order on line, ISDN, DACS, TPON, LLU, some alarm systems.

Max DSL RAG test

Field	Checks	Values

1	Fixed Rate adsl (1Mbps and 2Mbps)	R = RED -1Mbps and 2Mbps not possible A = AMBER - Long line green for 1Mbps, Red for 2Mbps G = GREEN - 1Mbps and 2Mbps available
2	Fixed Rate Exchange Status	N = Exchange upgrade not planned P = Exchange upgrade due E = Exchange ADSL enabled S = Exchange Activate planned L = Exchange Activate enabled at maximum 512kbps H = Exchange reviewed and deemed unviable
3	Rate Adaptive adsl (512kbps and 256kbps)	R = RED - 512kbps and 256kbps not possible after engineer check A = AMBER - Line has over 75dB loss. adsl is unlikely, but will be tested by an engineer on-site G = GREEN - 512kbps and 256kbps available
4	Rate Adaptive Exchange Status	N = Exchange upgrade not planned P = Exchange upgrade due E = Exchange ADSL enabled S = Exchange Activate planned L = Exchange Activate enabled at maximum 512kbps H = Exchange reviewed and deemed unviable F = Exchange under future review R = Exchange part of the Roll-Out programme
5	adsl MAX - Line Status	X = Qualification not available – Max not available yet R = ADSL Max not available on this line A = ADSL Max may be available on this line pending tests G = ADSL Max available on this line
6	adsl MAX - Exchange Status	N = Exchange upgrade not yet planned E = Exchange enabled for ADSL Max
7	Line Compatibility	Z = No compatibility issues found. C = Compatibility issue found. This could be several things eg. existing ADSL connection, pending ADSL order on line, ISDN, DACS, TPON, LLU, some alarm systems.

SDSL RAG test

Field	Checks	Values

1-4	SDSL availability	Returns 1 or 0 for each of the 4 SDSL speeds
5	256kbps SDSL	R = RED - Not available A = AMBER - May be available G = GREEN - Available
6	512kbps SDSL	R = RED - Not available A = AMBER - May be available G = GREEN - Available
7	1 Mbps SDSL	R = RED - Not available A = AMBER - May be available G = GREEN - Available
8	2 Mbps SDSL	R = RED - Not available A = AMBER - May be available G = GREEN - Available
9-12	Reason code	F = Incompatible fibre in the network T = Line is TPON based Z = No compatibility issue
13-16	Exchange Status	E = SDSL enabled P = SDSL planned for this exchange N = Not SDSL enabled

Compatibility Problems

A = ADSL already on the line
D = DDI
E = DACS
F = Fibre
I = ISDN
L = LLU
O = Other network incompatible device
P = Incompatible Product
R = Duplicate Order
T = TPON
V = FeatureNet
Z = No Problems
