After a channel plan, and limit plan (See Help section on CONFIGURE MEASURE - LIMIT SETS, for more information about limit sets.) has been selected, press the START softkey and the CABEL MODEM Autotest sequentially measures the signal performance of all assigned channels in the CABLE MODEM AutoTest configuration.

On the CABLE MODEM - AUTOTEST IN PROGRESS screen, a horizontal progress bar shows how much of the test is complete. The current channel being tested is indicated directly below this bar. (NOTE: The Help System on this meter is disabled during all tests while they are in progress.)

The Pass/Fail status of each channel is updated on the screen as the test proceeds. (NOTE: No Pass/Fail information is displayed when the selected limit set is "off.")

To stop the AutoTest process at any time, press the STOP softkey. A confirmation dialog box then appears with options of canceling or continuing the process.

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