Refer to Key performance indicators for definitions of the following parameters:

Downstream Power:
  • Rx Power (dBmV)
Downstream Noise:
  • MER (dB)
  • SNR (dB)
  • SNR Deviation (σ)
    NOTE: SNR Deviation is a licensed feature that must be turned on separately.
Downstream Spectral Response:
  • Spectral Response (dB)

Downstream FEC:

Downstream FEC is the downstream error rate before and after Forward Error Correction (FEC).
  • CCER+CER (%)
  • CER (%)

Downstream Partial Service:

  • Partial Service

Upstream Power:

  • Tx Power (dBmV)
  • Rx Power (dBmV)
  • Attenuation

Upstream Noise:

  • SNR (dB)
  • SNR Deviation (σ)
    NOTE: SNR Deviation is a licensed feature that must be turned on separately.

Upstream Spectral Response:

The values are computed based on the upstream equalization coefficients reported by the cable modem.
  • Composite EQ (dB)
  • Group Response (dB)
  • Echo Response (dB)

Upstream FEC:

Upstream FEC is the downstream error rate before and after Forward Error Correction (FEC).
  • CCER+CER (%)
  • CER (%)
Upstream Partial Service:
  • Partial Service
  • T3 Errors
  • T4 Errors
