Provides DOCSIS, Ethernet, CM Diagnostics page, and VoIP measurement modes that view and analyze CATV channels.

DOCSIS

DOCSIS measurement mode analyzes the digital performance of a user-selected DOCSIS channel to verify downstream/upstream connectivity. Only DOCSIS channels defined in the downstream (forward path) channel plan are available for DOCSIS measurement testing. DOCSIS tests include:

Ranging

Analyzes and displays measurement performance data on the upstream and downstream signal level, downstream modulation error ratio (MER) (or EVM, as configured), and the estimated downstream bit error rate (BER) before and after forward error correction (FEC). The ranging measurement data can be viewed in relation to user-configured limits to determine the Pass/Fail status of the DOCSIS channel.

Registration

Analyzes and displays internet protocol (IP) addresses of the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP), time of day (TOD) servers, and the gateway. The registration test also provides the modem's internet protocol (IP) address, configuration file, and Service IDentifier (SID).

Throughput

Displays throughput (upstream and downstream) test results. (See the Help section entitled "Interpreting Throughput Results".)

Packet Loss

Displays packet loss (round trip, upstream, and downstream), and upstream signal to noise ratio (SNR) test results. (See the Help section entitled "Interpreting Packet Loss Results".)

Ping

Analyzes and displays the overall downstream/upstream communication route and connectivity of a DSAM within the cable system. The ping test is a continuous test that allows you to select the IP address, packet size, and time between pings and displays ping test result data that includes; round trip time, time-to-live (TTL), percentage of loss of data, and average round trip time.

VoIPCheck
(Optional Purchase Required)
VoIPCheck provides an CMTS Loop test and Segmentation test. ) This feature does not require MTA provisioning. The VoIPCheck test is a continuous test that provide packetloss, jitter, delay, R-Value and MOS values.

ETHERNET
(Optional Purchase Required)
Analyzes the internet protocol (IP) performance through the Ethernet.

CM DIAGNOSTICS PAGE
(Optional Purchase Required)
Displays a cable modem's internal web page.

VoIP
(Optional Purchase Required)
Provides the ability to measure voice quality of your VoIP networks and gateway, internet protocol (IP) phones and other end point devices.
