A read-only enumerated value indicating whether this CPE-side HDSL bit pump is configured as central or remote. Since this entry documents the customer-premises end of the pair, an admin expects it to normally report "remote," and a mismatch would indicate an unusual wiring or configuration setup. If cmCpeHDSLModemType unexpectedly reports "central" for a CPE-side entry, the admin would investigate whether the line's roles have been swapped or misconfigured.
