When you configure an AutoTest, the parameters you specify apply only
to the plan currently in use. Other channel plans require their own AutoTest
configuration.
Use the SELECT AN AUTOTEST TO CONFIGURE screen to specify how an automatic
test will function using the currently active plan.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the type of test you would like to configure
on the SELECT AN AUTOTEST TO CONFIGURE screen and press the CONFIGURE
softkey or press ENTER.

On the COMBO TEST - SELECT THE DEFAULT LIMIT SET screen, use the arrow
keys to highlight the set of default limits you prefer and press the OK
softkey.
TIP: Use the CONFIGURE MEASUREMENTS - LIMIT SETS configuration screen
to edit the limit sets for measurements at the tap, ground block, TV,
and cable modem.
Configuring Video Channels AutoTests
On the VIDEO CHANNELS AUTOTEST - SELECT TEST CHANNELS screen, use the arrow

The MER softkey is enabled when modulation
error ratio measurements are available on certain digital channels. Press
the MER softkey to include this measurement as a part of the AutoTest.
Configuring Cable Modem AutoTests
At least one DOCSIS channel must be enabled in your active channel plan

keys to highlight the DOCSIS channel you intend to edit and press the

that channel. Repeat the process for other channels as necessary.
