Performing Amplitude Averaging

Table 4-27 Cable Upstream Power Adjust Syntax Descriptions

Syntax	Valid Values
n	Specifies the upstream port number.
threshold #	Specifies the power adjustment threshold. The threshold range is from
	0 through 10 dB. The default is 1 dB.
tolerable value	Determines if the status of the RNG-RSP should be set to CONTINUE
	or SUCCESS. The range is from 2 through 15 dB. The default is 2 dB.
% of power adjustment	Specifies the percentage of power adjustment packets required to
	switch from the regular power adjustment method to the noise power
	adjustment method. Range is from 10 through 100 percent. The
	default is 30 percent.

Note The threshold default is 1 dB. The tolerable value default is 2 dB. The power adjustment is 30 percent.

Caution Default settings are adequate for system operation. Amplitude averaging is an automatic procedure. In general, Cisco does not recommend you adjust values. Cisco does recommend, however, that you clean up your cable plant should you encounter flapping cable modems.

Note In some instances, you might adjust certain values:

If CMs cannot complete ranging because they have reached maximum power levels, you might try to set the tolerable value CONTINUE field to a larger value than the default of 2 dB. Values larger than 10 dB on “C” versions of cable modem cards, or 5 dB on FPGA versions, are not recommended.

If the flap list shows CMs with a large number of power adjustments, but the CMs are not detected as “noisy,” you might try to decrease the percentage for “noisy.” If you think too many CMs are unnecessarily detected as “noisy,” you might try to increase it.

Set Frequency Threshold to Affect Power Adjustment

To control power adjustment methods by setting the frequency threshold, use the cable upstream freq-adj averaging interface configuration command. To disable power adjustments, use the no form of this command.
