PHTv5 & Diag tools(IS_10/2018) Flashcards
What are the five new ICFR location indicators in v5 of PHT
Solo,Outlet,Home,Drop, and Network
When we cannot isolate the ICFR fault to specific location in the home or drop, although we have checked neighbors and eliminated a potential network issue as the cause
Solo
When an ICFR fault is isolated to a specific outlet that feeds the device in the home
outlet
When an ICFR fault is isolated to a common point in the home that feeds multiple devices but does not affect all devices in the home
home
When an ICFR fault is isolated to a common point that feeds all devices in the home. We have checked neighbors and eliminated a potential network issue as the cause
drop
When an ICFR fault is isolated to a common point in the network that feeds multiple accounts. At least one other neighbor account has an ICFR signature match
network
Upper fail for Actual upstream transmit
> 54 dBmV
Lower fail for Actual upstream transmit
< 25 dBmV
five or more spikes are at least =>10dB above the average amplitude for that given frequency area, then that condition will trigger a
MODERATE FM Ingress pass
five or more ingress spikes start to peak =>15dB above the average amplitude, then that condition will trigger
SEVERE FM Ingress failure.
Account passes but may alert tech to issues
Pass with Warnings
Account passes due to NWT event on account
Pass with Overides
(UET)
Upstream Extended Transmit
A growing number of devices in our network have Upstream Extended Transmit (UET) capabilities and can transmit___higher than the initial DOCSIS 3.0 specification allowed
3 dBmV
the level a device is transmitting at, or would need to transmit at in order to reach the CMTS at the proper input level
Actual US Tx
A registration state of 1,2,3 or 5 on any channel indicates that a device is not utilizing those channels and is in
partial bonding mode
If a Device is transmitting at maximum power and still cannot reach the CMTS at the requested input level, generally 0 dBmV, it is in a state called
compression
DOCSIS 3.0 devices have the ability to send and receive data transmissions across multiple US and DS channels, this is called
bonding
(FBC)
