Alarms 4.1 Introduction This chapter describes the alarm aspects of the EQ8096, the functionality of the Status indicator located at the rear panel (see Section 4.6) and the use of the SNMP Traps (see Section 4.4.6). The EQ8096 supports the reporting of status and alarms via SNMPv1/2 and HTTP protocols. Note: The unit provides the user with a RED LED on the front panel to indicate an alarm condition. This is lit when the global summary alarm is active.
Alarms 4.2 View Active Alarm Table The EQ8096 software provides functionality for handling, logging and displaying application alarms. Figure 4.2 Alarms Web Page The alarm handling includes user-controlled masking (see Section 4.3). 4.3 Configure Active Alarms The EQ8096 software provides the facility to mask any internal alarm. Figure 4.3 Active Alarm List Web Page There are four levels of severity. These are described in Table 4.3. Table 4.
Alarms 4.4 Specific Alarms 4.4.1 Serial Number Alarm The serial number is unique and set at manufacture. It corresponds with the number printed on the side of the unit to assist in unit identification. It is also used to configure the MAC addresses of the Ethernet ports. The alarm indicates that the serial number of the unit has not been set or has been reset to 0. In this case the MAC addresses will not be unique (other units with no serial number set will have the same MAC addresses).
Alarms Figure 4.5 Modulator Card Alarms Web Page 4.4.4 Transport Streams Alarms This page allows the Transport Stream Over-rate alarm to be masked. Figure 4.
Alarms The threshold value is determined by the global modulator settings, as this defines the overall bit rate for each of the generated transport streams. An alarm is raised if the total bit rate of all incoming UDP flows associated with a particular channel exceeds this threshold level. The status for each incoming transport stream can be seen under the TS Construction Page. The status parameter will be in one of the following states: 4.4.
Alarms Caution! Increasing the threshold from this factory default setting may prevent the unit generating an alarm during a fan failure or air-conditioning failure event. 4.4.6 PSU Alarms The EQ8096 utilizes up to 2 Hot-swappable PSUs and supports PSU failure detection for each PSU fitted. When dual-redundant PSUs are fitted (option EQ8096/HWO/DPS), the power supplies operate in a load-shared scheme. In the rare event of a PSU failure, the remaining PSU will provide power to the unit.
Alarms Figure 4.9 Trap Destination Table Web Page A reference number is allocated to a new alarm to identify it to the management system. This reference number is associated with any changes to the alarm status until it is cleared. 4.6 Status Indicators 4.6.1 Location of the Status Indicators The status indicators are mounted at the rear panel (see Figure 4.10). There are three status indicators per modulator unit. Each indicator relates to the adjacent RF connector. Status Indicators Figure 4.

EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification 10.1 General 10.1.1 Overview This document describes the system test specification for on site test and verification of the EQ8096 DEPI-MPT functionality using a CISCO uBR10K Core. 10.1.2 Acronyms DEPI: Downstream External Physical Interface EQAM: Edge Quad Amplitude Modulator 10.
EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification 10.3 General Test Configuration The following diagram shows the general set up required for EQAM testing with a Cisco uBR-10K core. DHCP / TFTP Server 211.245.185.71/25 DTI Server Edge-QAM 10.30.1.2 10.111.1.1/24 Gi 3/0/0 10.111.1.2 SIP & SPA Connection 10.30.1.2 Rf 1 Annex A 1/2/3/4 Channel Bonding ( DS 530 , 538 , 546Mhz ) Rf 2 4 Way 1000BaseT 8 UP w a 2way y Wideband CM PC 100BaseT EQAM Control 10.30.1.100 narrowband CM PC Figure 10.
EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification 10.3.1 System Setup A tester must perform the following set up when first installing the EQAM • The EQ8096 must have the DTI client card installed. The DTI client can be either factory fitted or field upgradeable. If necessary, please refer to Chapter 9 of the EQ8096 Reference Guide for instructions regarding this field upgrade process.
EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification Figure 10.3 DEPI Configuration WEB GUI Note: There is one configuration page per 24 DEPI sessions. This is to make the web GUI more readable. Any input card GBe input can be routed to any Output Card/Spigot/QAM Channel, i.e. any session can be set up for any stream through the EQAM, it is up to the user to manage this. Figure 10.
EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification Select the output card/Spigot/QAM you wish to enable the session on, e.g. in our example we enable Input Card Port 2 which is routed to Output Card 1, Spigot 2, Qam channel 1. The Remote session id is supplied by the Core engineer and corresponds to the “depi-remote-id” set up in the core “controller Modular-cable” set up. Figure 10.5 DEPI Session Setup Then select “Apply Changes”.
EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification If there is a problem enabling a channel then the selection will not change to grey and will still say “Disabled”. To disable a session, select “disabled” then “Apply changes”, e.g. to disable session 4. Figure 10.7 DEPI Session Disabled Similarly, a session can be set up on Input Card Port 1, Output Card 2, Spigot 1, QAM 1. Figure 10.8 DEPI Session Reconfigured This process can be repeated for any Inputs Card port.
EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification When the DEPI sessions have been configured with the correct set up and the core is running you should see activity in the “DEPI Statistics” Web GUI page, e.g.: Here we have 4 sessions set up but no activity: Figure 10.9 Four Sessions, No Activity Here we have 4 sessions set up but this time the EQAM is receiving data from the EQAM: Figure 10.
EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification 10.3.3 CISCO Core Configurartion The “Remote Session Id” returned to the DEPI Configuration WEB GUI page whenever a session is set up, see Figure 10.6, is very important, it identifies this QAM channel to the CISCO Core. This value must be given to the CISCO test engineer so he can set up the core with it. The CISCO core engineer uses this value as the “depi-remote-id “ when setting up the core. The CISCO core is set up with commands similar to: 1.
EQ8096 M-CMTS System Test Specification 10.3.4 DTI Card After the system is booted and configured ensure the DTI client card is in Sync by checking the WEB GUI status page or the LEDs on the back of the chassis before testing, e.g.: Figure 10.11 DTI Client Locked When the DTI card is in SYNC the status page reports “DTI Client Locked: Yes”. Also, the LEDs on the DTI input port have the following meaning: Table 10.

Not all terms may be included in this Reference Guide. μm Micrometer (former name - micron): a unit of length equal to one millionth (10-6) of a meter. 1000BaseT The term for the Electrical Gigabit Ethernet interface. This is the most common interface for Gigabit Ethernet. Most Gigabit-enabled PCs and equipment use this interface.
Glossary A-2 AMOL I and II Automatic Measure of Line-ups I and II: Used by automated equipment to measure programme-viewing ratings. ARP Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol used to "resolve" IP addresses into underlying Ethernet MAC addresses. ASI Asynchronous Serial Interface. ASIC Application-Specific Integrated Circuit: A customized chip designed to perform a specific function. Async Asynchronous.
Glossary Bouquet A collection of services (TV, radio, and data, or any combination of the three) grouped and sold together, and identified in the SI as a group. A single service may be in several bouquets. B-Picture; B-Frame Bi-directionally Predictive Coded Picture/Frame: A picture that is coded using motion-compensated prediction from previous I or P frames (forward prediction) and/or future I or P frames (backward prediction). B frames are not used in any prediction.
Glossary A-4 Chrominance The color part of a TV picture signal, relating to the hue and saturation but not to the luminance (brightness) of the signal. In a composite-coded color system, the color information (chrominance, often referred to as chroma) is modulated onto a high frequency carrier and added to the monochrome-format video signal carrying the luminance (Y).
Glossary DCE Data Communications Equipment: Typically a modem. It establishes, maintains and terminates a session on a network but in itself is not the source (originator) or destination (end receiving unit) of signals (e.g. a computer, see DTE). A DCE device may also convert signals to comply with the transmission path (network) format. DCT Discrete Cosine Transform: A technique for expressing a waveform as a weighted sum of cosines. Raw video data is not readily compressible.
Glossary DSNG Digital Satellite News-Gathering. DSP Digital Signal Processor. DTE Data circuit Terminating Equipment: A communications device that originates (is the source) or is the end receiving unit (destination) of signals on a network. It is typically a terminal or computer. DTH Direct-To-Home. The term used to describe uninterrupted transmission from the satellite directly to the subscriber, that is, no intermediary cable or terrestrial network utilized.
Glossary Encryption Encoding of a transmission to prevent access without the appropriate decryption equipment and authorization. EPG Electronic Programme Guide: On-screen programme listing using thumbnail pictures and/or text. Ethernet The most widely used local area network (LAN) defined by the IEEE as the 802.3 standard.

The on-screen information is usually controlled / manipulated by a mouse or keyboard. HDTV High Definition Television.
Glossary IP Internet Protocol: The IP part of TCP/IP. IP implements the network layer (layer 3) of the protocol, which contains a network address and is used to route a message to a different network or sub-network. IP accepts packets from the layer 4 transport protocol (TCP or UDP), adds its own header to it and delivers a datagram to the layer 2 data link protocol. It may also break the packet into fragments to support the Maximum Transmission / Transfer Unit (MTU) of the network.
Glossary A-10 JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group: ISO/ITU standard for compressing still images. It has a high compression capability. Using discrete cosine transform, it provides user specified compression ratios up to around 100:1 (there is a trade-off between image quality and file size). kbps 1000 bits per second. Kbit 1024 bits, usually refers to memory capacity or allocation.
Glossary MEM Multiplex Element Manager: A GUI-based control system, part of the range of Ericsson compression system control element products. The evolution 5000 MEM holds a model of the system hardware. Using this model, it controls the individual system elements to configure the output multiplexes from the incoming elementary streams. The MEM monitors the equipment status and controls any redundancy switching. Meta-data Meta-data is descriptive data that is "tagged" to a movie or audio clip.
Glossary Multicast An IP mechanism that allows transmission of data to multiple receivers. A multicast can also have several transmit sources simultaneously. In video applications, multicast is typically used to distribute a video signal from a central source to multiple destinations.

Glossary OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex: A modulation technique used for digital TV transmission in Europe, Japan and Australia; more spectrally efficient than FDM. In OFDM, data is distributed over a large number of carriers spaced apart at precise frequencies. The carriers are arranged with overlapping sidebands in such a way that the signals can be received without adjacent channel interference.
Glossary A-14 PES Packetized Elementary Stream: A sequential stream of data bytes that has been converted from original elementary streams of audio and video access units and transported as packets. Each PES packet consists of a header and a payload of variable length and subject to a maximum of 64 Kbytes. A time stamp is provided by the MPEG-2 systems layer to ensure correct synchronization between related elementary streams at the Decoder.
Glossary PRPB Analogue Color difference signals. Refer to CRCB for an explanation. PROM Programmable Read-Only Memory: A device, which may be written once with data for permanent storage, and then read whenever required. Special types of PROM permit the erasure of all data by Ultraviolet light (EPROM) or by application of an electronic signal (EEPROM). PS Program Stream: A combination of one or more PESs with a common timebase.
