4 DIAGNOSTICS

Field

Description

 

 

Network

Displays whether the cable modem has been granted access to the DOCSIS network:

Access

• YES — The cable modem was granted DOCSIS network access

 

 

• NO — The set-top is obtaining DOCSIS network access

 

• N/A — The value is invalid or cannot be retrieved, or DOCSIS is not enabled

 

 

Initialize BPI

The Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) status:

 

• YES — BPI has been successfully initialized for the cable modem

 

• NO — BPI initialization is in progress, has failed, or was not requested by the

 

network

 

• N/A — The value is invalid or cannot be retrieved, or DOCSIS is not enabled

 

 

System Up

The Days, Hours, Mins (minutes), and Seconds the DOCSIS system has been

Time

operational. If the value is invalid or cannot be retrieved, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, each

 

field displays zeros.

 

 

IP Addresses

The Cable Modem and Set-TopIP addresses in dotted-decimal format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

 

Each byte value is padded with zeros when necessary. For example, 10.0.1.10 is

 

displayed as 010.000.001.010. If the value is invalid or cannot be retrieved, or if DOCSIS is

 

not enabled, 000.000.000.000 is displayed.

 

 

MAC

The Cable Modem and Set-TopMAC address in hexadecimal format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

Addresses

Each byte value xx ranges from 00 to FF and is padded with zeros when necessary. For

 

example,0:0:2D:1:F1:D is displayed as 00:00:2D:01:F1:0D. If the value is invalid or cannot

 

be retrieved, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, 00:00:00:00:00:00 is displayed.

 

 

Downstream Channel (carries data from the headend to the set-top)

Carrier Lock

• YES — The cable modem is locked to a DOCSIS downstream channel

 

• NO — The cable modem is not locked to a downstream channel

 

• N/A — The value is invalid or cannot be retrieved, or DOCSIS is not enabled

 

 

Frequency

The center frequency of the channel to which the DOCSIS downstream channel receiver

 

is tuned. It can be 54 to 860 MHz. If the value is invalid or cannot be retrieved,

 

downstream Carrier Lock is NO, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, N/A is displayed.

 

 

LKC

The last known carrier (LKC); the frequency of the last tuned downstream channel used if

 

the embedded cable modem enters hunt mode. It can be 54 to 860 MHz. If the value is

 

invalid or cannot be retrieved, Carrier Lock is NO, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, N/A is

 

displayed.

 

 

Mode

The DOCSIS downstream channel modulation: QAM 64 or QAM 256. If the value is invalid

 

or cannot be retrieved, Carrier Lock is NO, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, 000 is displayed.

 

 

Power Level

The downstream channel power level in dBmV. If the value is invalid or cannot be

 

retrieved, Carrier Lock is NO, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, 000 is displayed.

 

 

SNR

The estimated downstream channel carrier signal-to-noise ratio in the format xx.x dB. It is

 

the value reported as SNR in the MIB. If the value is invalid or cannot be retrieved, Carrier

 

Lock is NO, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, 00.0 is displayed.

 

 

Upstream Channel (carries data from the set-top to the headend)

Frequency

The center frequency of the channel to which the DOCSIS upstream channel receiver is

 

tuned. It can be 5 to 42 MHz. If the value is invalid or cannot be retrieved, Carrier Lock is

 

NO, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, N/A is displayed.

 

 

Mode

The DOCSIS upstream channel modulation: QPSK, QAM 8, QAM 16, QAM 32, QAM 64,

 

or QAM 128. If the value is invalid or cannot be retrieved, or if DOCSIS is not enabled, N/A

 

is displayed.
