File preparation and general handling notes
Every transfer action deletes all existing channel guides from the unit, even if the server folder does
not contain any valid files to replace them.
On the FTP server computer, the files to transfer must be placed in the “home directory” associated
with the FTP user account that you intend to use. For any given transfer action, only the files in a
single folder are transferred to the unit.
Channel guides must be in the proper XML format as described under About channel guides on
page 6-53.
All files with an *.xml extension (case-insensitive) are transferred. Any other files in the designated
folder are ignored.
NOTE: If a file named thresholds.xml exists (case-insensitive), it will also be ignored. For this
reason, a channel guide file cannot use this name.
Other than general limitations of internal disk space, the unit has no functional limitation on how many
channel guide files it may contain.
Download procedure
1. Connect the unit to a 10/100/1G Ethernet network that can access the computer running the FTP
server.
2. Select System > Download Channel Guide and specify the required parameters for download. If
you do not have a Admin Port currently set up, these parameters information must include Admin
Port configuration information. For more information, see FTP connection parameters on page 2-59.
5.6.2 Video > View/Edit Thresholds
This screen allows you to view thresholds that affect the coloring/shading of results for certain Video
QoS test results (VQM version, see Video QoS (Quality of Service) on page 6-23). Currently-supported
results include the “percent degradation” due to loss, jitter, codec type, and delay.
Thresholds are specified as ranges, where a result will be colored:
Red, if the metric falls outside the specified range
Green, if the metric falls within the specified range, inclusive
Along with ranges, each threshold can be individually enabled or disabled. If a threshold is disabled, the
corresponding result receives no coloring regardless of its value.
Additionally, note the following:
