The SC-QAM and OFDM/A tables contain data about RF parameters that apply to Proactive alarms only. The OFDM/A table also includes CM power parameters, including OFDM Average Rx Power, OFDMA Tx Power, OFDMA Average Rx Power, and OFDMA Attenuation.

The tables also display channel information, such as channel name and channel alias.

Use this data to look at which modems are out of compliance and analyze which channels and frequencies are affected. The text is colored to indicate whether a value is in compliance with configured thresholds. Values shown in green are in compliance. Red, orange, and yellow values with icons indicate critical, major, and minor issues, respectively.

Severity levels are:

  • Critical : The most serious issues and alarms are marked Critical and designated by the color red.
  • Major : Major issues and alarms are very serious but not critical and are designated by the color orange.
  • Minor : Minor issues and alarms are the least serious and are designated by the color yellow.
  • None : The absence of issues or alarms is designated by the color green. Note that issues in the Pending cleared state are designated by the color green.

For Proactive alarms, you can look at the severity of an issue and compare the data to configured thresholds for RF parameters.

To display configured thresholds
  • Click in the header of an RF Parameter column.

    A box showing the configured thresholds opens.
