Configuring Downstream RF Settings

DOCSIS protocol utilizes an available channel to send downstream signal for data communications. Depending upon the frequency plan NTSC or PAL, IRIS automatically provides you the channel number and the center frequency in a drop down menu.

Figure 15 Downstream RF Settings

Using the “Center frequency with channel number” select the channel that you wish to use to send downstream signal. This channel should not be used to send any video signal.

Using the “RF Power” setting you can adjust the output level of the downstream signal. If you wish to adjust output power levels beyond the range you have to use outside attenuators. Digitally modulated signal levels are usually 10 to 12 dB less than the analog signal levels for the adjacent carriers.

256 and 64 QAM modulation is used for downstream communication. 256 QAM requires a much cleaner plant and channel. For noisier cable plants it is recommended to use 64 QAM for downstream. Using the ‘Modulation scheme’ select the appropriate downstream modulation plan.

After making the selection click the “Save” button to apply these changes. Center frequency and RF power changes do not require system to be rebooted. Changing the downstream modulation scheme requires a system restart.
