PC-IP Operation

25

Serial Port - The default serial port is displayed. To change the serial port setting, click on the box to select the available serial ports that are displayed in a drop-down menu.

Rate - The rate may be set to 115,200 or 38,400. Be sure that the selected rate matches the current setting of the Install Profiler. Click on the box to select the desired communication rate from a drop-down menu.

USB to Serial Port Adapter - If your PC does not have an RS- 232 serial port, an adapter may be used to convert a USB port to an RS-232 serial port. Use Belkin model F5U103. Other models may not work properly. Most PDA adapters do not support a full RS-232 implementation and will not work. For proper operation, the Belkin adapter and software should be installed before your PC-IP software. If necessary, un-install PC-IP and re-install after the USB-to-serial port adapter software is installed.

User Setup Access

In the User Setup Access area, the administrator can permit user access to specific Setup screens, including: Channel Plan, Limits, Cable Modem Setup, General Setup, Leakage, Upstream Spectrum, Pilot Generator and RealView setups.

Auto Save Tests

The Install Profiler may be configured to automatically prompt the user to enter a file name following each of the SMART tests. The SMART tests include: Tap, Ground Block, Set Top and Cable Modem. Selecting Enable the Test requires the user to enter a file name following the test. Click on the current setting to view the pull down menu and select the desired setting.

Detail Screen Access

The PC-IP user may control the access provided to the Installer Profiler user. Many of the automated SMART tests offer detailed measurement data screens, which can be accessed by the user, if access is enabled. Each type of detail screen is controlled individually. Enabling screens allows access, while disabling screens prevents access. Click on the current setting to view the pull down menu and select the desired setting. Detailed screens include: Analog, Digital, Cable Modem, Scan and Return Spectrum.
