Automode cold start forced. This parameter is defined in order to improve testing of the performance of xTUs supporting automode when it is enabled in the MIB. Change the value of this parameter to 'true' to indicate a change in loop conditions applied to the devices under the test. The xTUs shall reset any historical information used for automode and for shortening G.994.1 handshake and initialization.

Automode is the case where multiple operation-modes are enabled through the xdsl2LConfProfXtuTransSysEna object in the line configuration profile being used for the line, and where the selection of the actual operation-mode depends not only on the common capabilities of both xTUs (as exchanged in G.994.1), but

also on achievable data rates under given loop conditions.
