Specs
Some thresholds include both a minimum and maximum setting, while others a minimum or maximum
only. For example, a BER threshold requires a maximum only, as the minimum value (that is, a “perfect”
condition) is always zero.
NOTE: If a threshold is not editable, it has been configured as such in the threshold file imported to the
unit. For more information, see Download Thresholds on page 8-25.
Download Thresholds
As an alternative to editing thresholds directly on the unit, you can download a thresholds file to set all
thresholds as a batch. This action completely overwrites all existing thresholds on the unit.
For more information on the parameters required for the FTP transaction, see FTP connection
parameters on page 2-59. The remainder of this section describes the required threshold file format.
A threshold file uses a simple CSV format with lines in the following format:
thld_name,TV_STB_value,ONT_Modem_value
For example:
Max Digital Power(dBmV),13,30
Min Digital Power(dBmV),-6,7
It must have the following filename:
RFThresholds.dat
Note the following:
You should never change a threshold name (first field), otherwise the threshold will become
unrecognizable and the unit will use a default instead.
You can precede any line with an exclamation point (!) to restrict the setting from editing onboard the
unit, for example:
!Min Digital Power(dBmV),13,30
In this case, the minimum digital power will be viewable on the unit, but will not be editable. Note that
this condition cannot be undone except by importing another thresholds file to the unit.
Preliminary issue - Limited distribution only!
