rPHY Flashcards
RFS
Radio Frequency Shelf
This device will primarily be used in areas with low US growth for
sub-split analog service groups
Radio Frequency Shelf (RSF)
The node name which character represents the node type
5th character
Rphy light levels fall between this range
(-)-21 to -9 dBm
This cable has 2 x 10G channels
QSFP+
DAAS
Distributed Access Aggregation Switch
How many homes are connected to each RPD, range
50-60 homes
The US and DS components of the legacy CMTS are implemented in this module
RPD
DAAS can connect up to how many RPDs
48
Maximum number of RPDs per vCMTS
192
This application is used to install, provision and maintain rPHY
nodes in the field
rPHY Scanner
what two things are needed to provision the RPD
cellular/wireless connection/ GPS signaL
NFV
Network Function Virtualization
Micro-CMTS are independent modules or containers based on
this platform
Kubernetes
ONOS
Open Network Operating System
Each vCMTS can connect up to how many DAAS
4
Each RPD is this connection, in Gbps
10 Gbps
is comprised of the spine and leaf switches
Switching Fabric
ONL
Open Network Linux
Documentation assigned to the parent node
Node Matrix
a fully loaded node can weight over this, in lbs
50 lbs
the minimum strand diameter should be
5/16 diameter
what is the appropriate trim length for a pin connector on Cisco
G700 node, in inches
1.5 to 1.6 inches lbs
RPD
Remote Phy Device
secure the Cisco RPD with this torque range, in inch lbs
25 to 30 inch lbs
RPD needs to be provisioned with this tool
RPHY scanner app
Shunts are available with these two color tops
Red and black
This color shunt indicates input power is applied to that port
Red
This color shunt indicates that power passed out of a node
Black
RPHY node requires input power of this range, in VAC
45 to 90 VAC
Power supply output has these 4 well regulated DC output voltages
24.5, 8.5, 5.4 ,6.4
RPHY status light blinking green
Boot up mode and running power test
This is the first step in provisioning the RPD on the rphy scanner
app
Scan QR code
Status light goes from blinking to solid green
RPD has received an IP address
status light is blinking green
RPD is in boot up mode
to ensure proper enclosure of the node what is the tightening
torque in ft lbs
12
ORT
Operational Readiness Test
This will verity linear video and VOD on both X1 and legacy
boxes as well as IP4 testing
ORT Operational Readiness Test
Before connecting to live customers this must be done prior
ORT Operational Readiness Test
How often does the RPD pull a new configuration
every time its powered up
ORT verifies is these services are operational
IPv4/IPv6, phone, linear video, X1, VOD
strand clamp brackets should be tighten to this range, in ft lb
10- to 12
mounting holes on the Arris Node are how many inches apart
11
This should be considered when installing a node in a pedestal
cable routing, grounding and air flow
Commscope nodes pin connector must be trimmed to this
length
1.5 to 1.65 inch
Commscope RPDs should be torqued to this spec, in ft-lbs
2.1 to 2.25
This architecture the core network is relocated from headend to
the node
DAA
Multiplexing use closely spaced wavelengths, making it possible
to transmit multiple signals on the same fiber
DWDM
RPDs take this long to provision
15 mins
When the node is opened it is logged into the system via
Tamper switch
RPD requires provisioning using this tool
RPHY scanner app
RPD input is this type of fiber jumper
