All parameters related to OFDM and OFDMA are listed here. Refer to Key performance indicators for definitions of the following parameters:

Downstream Power (OFDM):
  • Cable Modem > Average Rx Power (dBmV)
  • Network > Abs Rx Power Avg (dBmV)
  • Network > Rel Rx Power Avg (dBmV)
Downstream Noise (OFDM):
  • Mean MER (dB)
  • MER Deviation (dB)
  • MER Percentile Value (dB)
Downstream FEC (OFDM):
  • PLC CER (%)
  • NCP CER (%)
  • CCER+CER (%)
  • CER (%)
Downstream Partial Service (OFDM):
  • Partial Service
Upstream Power (OFDMA):
  • Cable Modem >Tx Power (dBmV)
  • Cable Modem > Average Rx Power (dBmV)
  • Cable Modem > Attenuation
  • Network > Abs Attenuation Avg (dB)
  • Network > Rel Attenuation Avg (dB)
Upstream Noise (OFDMA):
  • Mean MER (dB)
  • MER Deviation (dB)
  • MER Percentile Value (dB)
Upstream FEC (OFDMA):
  • CCER+CER (%)
  • CER (%)
Upstream Partial Service (OFDMA):
  • Partial Service
  • T3 Errors OFDMA
  • T4 Errors OFDMA
IUC Efficiency (OFDMA):
  • IUC MHz Efficiency (Mbps/ MHz)
  • IUC Usage Efficiency (%)
NOTE: Data displayed in the IUC columns in Alarm Central > OFDMA table are per-IUC, and not per-modem like in the other columns. Multiple rows can exist for each modem/OFDMA channel because multiple IUCs can be associated with each modem/OFDMA channel.
