Upon test completion, the DOCSIS AUTOTEST results screen displays an overall Pass/Fail result and the Pass/Fail result of each channel tested.

Softkeys

Three softkeys on the DOCSIS AUTOTEST screen provide the following options:

SAVE

Press the SAVE softkey to save the DOCSIS AUTOTEST results.

VIEW

Select DOCSIS Status. Press ENTER to make your selection.

FILTER

Press the FILTER softkey and use the arrow keys to select SUMMARY or FAILED ONLY.
- This SUMMARY screen contains a complete listing of failed and passed channels.
- The FAIL summary screen shows the list of channels that did not have measurements within the user-configured set of limits.

DOCSIS Autotest Results screen

The DOCSIS AUTOTEST results screen provides very specific information about the performance of each channel tested.

For each measurement (LEVEL, MER, etc.) configured to be measured in relation to a limit set, a Pass/Fail symbol appears to the left that measurement. When no limit set is enabled, a Pass/Fail status cannot be provided.

When a measurement fails an AutoTest, an arrow to the right of the numeric value indicates the direction in which the failure occurred. An up arrow indicates a measurement over the limit range. A down arrow indicates a measurement below the limit range.

When more than one downstream DOCSIS channel is tested, use the up and down arrows to view all tested channels.

NOTE:
Only valid measurements resulting from completed tests are displayed. When a test is halted or an error occurs prohibiting a valid measurement, a dash indicates an invalid numeric value.

TIP:
Use the CONFIGURE GENERAL - SET LOCAL PREFERENCES configuration screen to specify the type of signal level units and digital performance units you prefer. Use the CONFIGURE MEASURE - LIMIT SETS configuration screen to edit limit-set parameters to meet your needs. Use the CONFIGURE MEASURE - OTHER SETTINGS configuration screen to define the best measurement settings (such as increment selection) for your current work practices.
