DSAM Test Applications Testing Analog and Digital services Find and Fix DOCSIS 3.0 and VOIPCheck David Dolnick JDSU
SEMINAR AGENDA Presented By David Dolnick JDSU • Level Mode Screen Display, Analog TV Channel (CNR) • Level Mode Screen Display, Channel Tuning of Digital QAM Channel. • Advanced Measurements from the Level Display. • DQI, and QAM Ingress • Looking for Ingress in the return and forward band.* • Full Scan Display, Looking at Frequency Response, Suck-outs. • DOCSIS Overview DOCSIS 3.0 • Docsis Configuration (Other Settings) • Ranging screen display • Understanding Throughput. • Understanding Packet loss. • Using Ping Test for various subscribers • VOIPCheck Overview.
Effect of Noise on Analog Systems (Gradually poorer C/N) Broadcast Quality Required FCC Spec
Level Display of QAM channel Showing Quality Measurements Like MER, and Pre and Post BER
Advanced Measurements like DQI provide instant error updates
QAM Ingress provides ability to see ingress under active QAM Channel
Upstream Spectrum has been replaced by Ingress Scan now measures out 108 MHz

C M Return RF Inputs UNDERSTANDING HOW DOCSIS WORKS • What is a cable modem? • A cable modem is a 2-way RF device that converts IP packet data from • your computer or other device, to a QPSK or QAM modulated RF carrier • That is transmitted over the return spectrum of the HFC plant back to the • Cable headend. This is were the CMTS takes over. • What is the CMTS? • CMTS stands for cable modem termination system. • That’s because RF signal terminates at the cmts and are converted back to • IP packetized data for transmission via dedicated interface to service provider CMTS HFC PLANT C P E
From the Registration Page, you can start running the multiple DOCSIS test
Throughput Page shows service level verification based on Config file • It can also be used to verify plant noise and or network contention • 0 kb/s can indicate noise on the plant which can be identified by checking MER (range) • 0 kb/s can indicate network contention (CMTS being overtaxed by active users)
Packet Loss is a true two way test from point of test To the CMTS on the reverse path and back to DSAM On the forward path
Segmentation display page shows delay and jitter on both HFC plant And Server and DSAM
