User’s Manual

administrator prior to registering on the network must provision this address. If User Defined is selected, the user will be prompted to enter a user-defined address or accept the internal MAC address at the beginning of the Cable Modem test. The internally programmed MAC address is stored in memory and used as the default if the user does not enter a custom address. A custom address is only stored until the Install Profiler is turned off. Using an Entered MAC address ensures that the customer’s MAC address is properly provisioned on the network.

Note: You may enter the MAC address of DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem in the CM 500 to emulate an existing modem, but not a modem running in a DOCSIS1.1 or 2.0 mode.

Access to MAC Address - Select Enabled or Disabled. Allows the user the flexibility to change the MAC address when initiating any cable modem or SMART test.

Upstream

BkER Packet Delay - 0 to 500 mSec selectable in 20 mSec increments. This is the time between data packets being sent back to the CMTS router for BKER measurements. The default is 20 mSec. Large packets sent too often may be discarded by the CMTS if they compete with live data traffic.

BkER Packet Size - Sets the size of the test packets sent to the CMTS router for BKER testing. Select from 0, 256, 512, 768 or 1024. The default is 0. Large packets sent too often may be discarded by the CMTS if they compete with live data traffic.

CMTS PING Address - Enter the server address to send data from the Install Profiler to the CMTS IP address for BKER tests (the server will send back the same data). The default address 000-000-000-000 specifies the default router – typically the CMTS.

Upload FTP

File Server Address - Enter the FTP file server address to upload saved data from the Install Profiler to this FTP IP address. The default address specifies an FTP site maintained by Sunrise Telecom. You will want to setup your own FTP server to store your data. The Install Profiler will create a directory tree when the upload is generated, with the top level as the System Name,
