Each RxD associated with the VTM consists of the following pieces of information.

Identity tab

FieldDescription
NameA name assigned to the RxD for unique identification.
MAC AddressDevice MAC address.
VUEThe VUE assigned to this RxD.
Assigned Auxiliary CoreThe VUE currently configured as the auxiliary core for this RxD.
RoleDevice type for the network element. Values are: RPD or RMD.
Type

The configuration type of the RxD in terms of number of downstream and upstream ports.

The following types are available for the RPD:

  • rpd1x1: The RPD supports one downstream and one upstream interface.
  • rpd1x2: The RPD supports one downstream and two upstream interfaces.
  • rpd2x2: The RPD supports two downstream and two upstream interfaces.

The following types are available for the RMD:

  • rmd1x1: The RMD supports one downstream and one upstream interface.
  • rmd1x2: The RMD supports one downstream and two upstream interfaces.
  • rmd2x2: The RMD supports two downstream and two upstream interfaces.
Operational ModeThe operational modes for an RxD. The default operational mode for an RPD is Synchronous and for an RMD is Asynchronous.
VendorThe equipment vendor.
Serial NumberDevice serial number.
LocationName given to the RxD's physical location or node in which the RxD exists.
GeolocationThe longitude and latitude of the RxD's physical location.
DescriptionA string used to identify the RxD.

Status tab

FieldDescription
MAC AddressMAC address of the RxD.
StateThe reported state for the RxD as seen by the ACCP (aux core). The supported values are:
  • Initial: The ACCP is waiting for the RxD to contact it in order to provision this RF channel.
  • Configuration In Progress: The ACCP is in the process of adding this channel to the RxD through a REX REQ.
  • Configuration Error: The ACCP has received an error REX RSP message from the RxD for this channel.
  • Operational: The RF channel is in service and operational.
  • Deleting: The ACCP is in the process of deleting this RF channel.
Channel StatusDescription
FrequencyThe frequency of this RF channel.
StateThe reported state for the channel as seen by the ACCP (aux core). The supported values are:
  • Initial: The ACCP is waiting for the RxD to contact it in order to provision this RF channel.
  • Configuration In Progress: The ACCP is in the process of adding this channel to the RxD through a REX REQ.
  • Configuration Error: The ACCP has received an error REX RSP message from the RxD for this channel.
  • Operational: The RF channel is in service and operational.
  • Deleting: The ACCP is in the process of deleting this RF channel.
Session IDThe DEPI or UEPI session id for this channel.
Out of Sequence PacketsThe count of session packets that were received out of sequence from the point of view of the RxD.
Out PacketsReports the number of outbound MPEG packets successfully transmitted on the channel.
Out ErrorsThe number of packets that could not be transmitted.
IF Out DiscardsReports the number of outbound MPEG packets which were internally discarded before transmission, for example, due to lack of buffering.
IF Out ErrorsReports the number of outbound MPEG packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
