COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

Circuit Quality (cq)

Use the cq command to display an estimate of nondisruptive performance measurements for a COMSPHERE device. The device constantly measures a number of signal quality parameters and data transmission characteristics without disrupting the primary data flow.

You can use the cq command to help determine the proper threshold values by displaying the signal quality parameters during periods of acceptable and unacceptable circuit conditions. Refer to the appropriate device manual for more information on the description and ranges of the signal quality parameters.

For 3400/4400 Series modems, many of the signal quality performance parameters measured with this command can also be set as a user-defined threshold with the Change Thresholds (cht) command.

For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.

Circuit Quality Input Form

The Circuit Quality input form enables you to specify the device(s) to which the cq command will be directed.

This input form contains the following field:

Device(s) (Required field)

Enter the device(s) for which the circuit quality measurement will be taken. One or more devices may be specified. Standard addressing format applies to the input. For information on device addressing, refer to Appendix D of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide.

Circuit Quality Results Form

Different results forms are displayed for each device specified in the input form.

In addition to actual values that can display on the results forms, the following indicators can also display in the parameter fields, as applicable.

NA

This parameter is not applicable to the specified device.
