Configuring the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 Line Card

Starting with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.2.0SQ, the Cisco RF Gateway 10 chassis supports the Cisco RF Gateway 10 UEQAM Downstream 384 line card (hereafter called the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card). This card supports up to 8 RF ports and up to 384 QAM carriers on each line card.

Prerequisites for Configuring QAM Features for the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 Line Card

The Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card requires that the Cisco RF Gateway 10 and Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine 7-E are running the Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.2.0SQ.

For detailed information on the Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine 7-E, see the Cisco RF Gateway 10 Hardware Installation Guide.

Restrictions for Configuring QAM Features for the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 Line Card

  • Due to the limitation of the frequency range (45 MHz to 1003 MHz) and the upconverter module, 128 contiguous frequency channels on every port for Annex A may not be supported for Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card.
  • Because the number of ports supported in the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-48 line card are different from the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card, any configuration for one type of line card cannot be applied to a different line card. When the Supervisor card detects that a different type of line card has replaced an existing line card, the existing configuration is erased. The default setting of the new line card must be reconfigured.

Information About Configuring QAM Features for the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 Line Card

The Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card (see the figure below for software key components of the line card) is a high-density card and has the following features:

Figure 1. Software Key Components of the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 Line Card



  • Maximum of eight RF ports on every line card are supported.
  • QAM carriers can be grouped on any port as long as the total number of QAM carriers is less than 384. Maximum of 128 carriers per port are supported on a QAM port or physical RF port.
  • The frequency range per port can be configured into maximum of four lanes, with four blocks on every lane. Each block can have 8 carriers, that is, 32 carriers on every lane. The frequency assigned to a carrier can begin on any lane and must be within the frequency range of 216 MHz.

    Note

    The frequency assignments and the block and lane association must be relayed to the line card.

  • Carrier spacing of +/- 6 MHz is supported for Annex B and C, and +/- 8MHz for only Annex A.
  • A logical QAM (LQAM) channel is a single RF carrier. An RF port can support up to 64 carriers.
  • An LQAM group is a group of eight LQAM channels that share the same RF parameters—Annex, modulation format, symbol rate, and ITU interleaver values— in the RF profile. There can be up to 48 LQAM groups in Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card.

For information on configuring features on the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card, see:

How to Configure the QAM Features for the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 Line Card

This section describes the various steps to configure the QAM features on the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 Line Card.

Configuring the Port Density

Port density is the maximum number of carriers assigned to a port.

When the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card is inserted in the chassis, information about all physical port interfaces on that line card is automatically created in the configuration file. However, all port interfaces are in shutdown mode and by default, there are no carriers under a port interface.

This section describes the procedure to configure carriers on each RF port interface.


Note

When port density is defined, RF power is automatically defined at the port level.

Restrictions

  • 1, 2, 4 and multiples of 4 carriers can be specified on an RF port. However, each RF port on a Cisco RF GW-10 DS-384 line card can have only up to a maximum of 128 carriers configured.
  • While configuring RF port density, RF output from an integrated upconverter is temporarily disabled.
  • QAM carrier subinterfaces under an RF port can be accessed until the maximum number of carriers are specified.
  • Modification of the number of QAM carriers on a port affects RF power levels on the existing QAM carriers, that is, if the port density is reduced, QAM carriers on the higher subinterface ID are deleted. For example, if there are 100 carriers on qam 3/1 (qam 3/1.1 up to qam 3/1.100), and the port density is reduced to 60, then qam subinterfaces, qam 3/1.61 up to qam 3/1.100, are deleted.
SUMMARY STEPS

    1.    enable

    2.    configure terminal

    3.    interface qam slot/port

    4.    cable downstream max-carriers carriers

    5.    exit


DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1enable


    Example: 
    Router> enable
     

    Enables privileged EXEC mode.

    Enter your password if prompted.

     
    Step 2configure terminal


    Example:
    Router# configure terminal
     

    Enters global configuration mode.

     
    Step 3interface qam slot/port


    Example:
    Router(config)# interface qam 3/1
     

    Configures the interface QAM on the line card.

    • slot—Slot of the line card in the QAM interface. The valid range is from 3 to 12.
    • port—Port on the specified slot. The valid range is from 1 to 8.

    Enters the QAM port interface configuration mode when executed.

     
    Step 4cable downstream max-carriers carriers


    Example:
    Router(config-if)# cable downstream max-carriers 64
     

    Creates a specific number of QAM carriers on an RF port.

    • carriers—Number of carriers per port. The valid values are 1, 2, 4, and up to 64 in multiples of 4. The default value is 64.
     
    Step 5exit


    Example:
    Router(config-if)# exit
     

    Exits the interface configuration mode.

     

    When the above commands are run, the Supervisor card creates the specified number of carrier subinterfaces starting from 1.


    Note

    If QAM interfaces already exist on the port, they are reconfigured when the new port density is specified. If the port density is lowered, QAM carriers with higher subinterface IDs are removed.

    The following example shows how to set the port density to 64 for port 1 on line card in slot 3:

    Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1
Router(config-if)# cable downstream max-carriers 64
Router(config-if)# exit

    User Scenario

    To set up the same number of carriers across all the ports for a line card:

    Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1 - 8
Router(config-if)# cable downstream max-carriers 48
Router(config-if)# exit

    Configuring RF Profiles

    The Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card supports RF profiles. RF profiles are global templates that define a combination of RF attributes to be used across all line cards in the chassis. A default RF profile is generated by the system with the default RF attributes.

    An RF profile consists of:

    • Annex mode
    • Single symbol rate (applicable for Annex A only. Symbol rates are internally applied for Annex B and Annex C).
    • Single modulation index
    • Two interleaver depths. Each carrier must use only one defined interleaver depths of the profile it is assigned to.

    A group of eight logical QAM channels that share the same modulation format, symbol rate, annex mode, and the two options of interleaver I/J values, form a logical QAM group.

    An RF profile has the following characteristics:

    • Any number of carriers can be assigned to an RF profile within the RF Gateway 10 chassis.
    • 1, 2, 4 or multiples of 4 carriers can be associated with any RF port on that line card (maximum carriers on an RF port is 64). 1, 2, 4 or multiples of 4 carriers can be associated with any RF port on that line card (maximum carriers on an RF port is 64).
    • Every physical QAM carrier has a one-to-one mapping with a logical QAM channel.

      Note

      Logical QAM channels correspond to a physical QAM carrier and are assigned as the carriers are enabled.

    An RF profile enables several QAM carriers to share the same RF downstream parameters regardless of their RF port or logical QAM group. The Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine 7-E maintains the RF profile and assigns it to the QAM carriers, providing them with a logical QAM ID and a logical QAM group ID. If the RF profile is applied to more than eight QAM carriers, the Supervisor increments the logical QAM group ID.

    Restrictions

    • The Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine 7-E card must assign carriers to RF profiles in groups of eight. All eight carriers must have the same Annex, symbol rate, QAM modulation, and choice of two interleaver depth values. This grouping makes certain configurations on the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card, such as 380 carriers with RF profile 1, and 4 carriers with RF profile 2, invalid.
    • After it is created, all changes to the RF profile must be made at the RF Gateway 10 chassis level and not at the QAM subinterface level. It is recommended that global RF profiles are modified while they are not in use at the QAM subinterface level.
    • A default RF profile (default-rf-profile) is created during system boot up. Any QAM carrier that is enabled without an RF profile and center frequency assigned to it is rejected by the system. In this case, the default-rf-profile is enforced and assigned an RF profile ID of 1.
    • For Downstream External PHY Interface (DEPI) configuration, RF parameters can be configured either from the RF Gateway 10 chassis or all RF configurations can be learned from the Cisco CMTS. In DEPI Learn Mode, a new remote RF profile is created by the system, which cannot be modified at the RF Gateway 10 chassis level. In this case, use the show controller command to view the downstream parameters applied to the QAM carrier. The show cable rf-profile command lists all remote RF profiles that are automatically created on the RF Gateway 10 chassis.
    • Annex type is configured as part of the rf-profile and different rf-profiles for QAMs can be applied under the same port. So, QAMs under the same port can be configured with different Annex types.

      Step 3cable downstream rf-profile rf-profile-id


      Example:
      Router(config)# cable downstream rf-profile 1
       

      Creates a locally-defined RF profile at the Cisco RFGW-10 chassis level, and applies it across any QAM channel on the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card.

      • rf-profile-id—RF profile ID applied to the QAM channel on the line card.
       
      Step 4cable downstream annex {A | B | C}


      Example:
      Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream annex A
       

      Sets the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) framing format for a downstream port on a cable interface line card to Annex A (Europe), Annex B (North America), or Annex C (Japan).

      • A—Annex A: The downstream uses the EuroDOCSIS J.112 standard.
      • B—Annex B: The DOCSIS-compliant cable plants that support North American channel uses ITU J.83 Annex B downstream radio frequency.
      • C—Annex C: A variant of DOCSIS 1.1 designed to operate in Japanese cable systems.
       
      Step 5cable downstream modulation {64 | 256}


      Example:
      Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream modulation 64
       

      Sets the modulation format for a downstream port on a line card.

      • 64—Modulation rate is 6 bits per downstream symbol.
      • 256—Modulation rate is 8 bits per downstream symbol.
       
      Step 6cable downstream interleaver-depth option1 depth-value option2 depth-value


      Example:
      Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream interleaver depth option1 I12-J17 option2 I12-J17
       

      Sets the downstream interleaver depth.

      • option1—Interleaver-depth FEC I/J values at the RF profile.
      • option2—Interleaver-depth FEC I/J values that are available at the subinterface level when the profile in assigned to the QAM subinterface.
       
      Step 7cable downstream symbol-rate symbols


      Example:
      Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream symbol-rate 3500000
       

      Sets the symbol rate on the line card.

      • symbolsSymbol rate of the line card in seconds. The valid range is from 3500000 to 7000000 symbols per second.
        Note   

        Symbol rate can be specified only for Annex A and Annex C and valid symbol rate values must be in increments of 1000 symbols per second.

       
      Step 8exit


      Example:
      Router(config-rf-prof)# exit
       

      Exits the RF profile configuration mode.

       

      The following example shows how to configure an RF profile on the line card:

      Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# cable downstream rf-profile 1
Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream annex A
Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream modulation 64
Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream interleaver depth option1 I12-J17 option2 I12-J17
Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream symbol-rate 3500000
Router(config-rf-prof)# exit
      What to Do Next

      After the RF profile is created, you can apply this profile to up to eight QAM carriers. You must also apply the interleaver value to the QAM carrier. This value must be one of the two interleaver depth values defined in the RF profile.

      The following example shows how to apply the RF profile to a QAM carrier:

      Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface Qam-red 3/1.1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream rf-profile 1
Router(config-rf-prof)# cable downstream interleaver-depth I12-J17

      In the DEPI Learn RF mode, use the show cable rf-profile command to display the parameters in the RF profile learned from the Cisco CMTS.

      Router# show cable rf-profile 1

RF Profile ID 1 is configured
        modulation: 256
        interleaver-depth options: I128-J1, I128-J1
        srate: 5056941
        remote: 0

      Use the show cable linecard logical-qamid-mapping command to display the logical QAM group IDs and QAM carriers mapped to the RF profiles on the line card:

      Router# show cable linecard logical-qamid-mapping 3

                offset 3 - carrier-id 32 - Qam-red3/3.4
        Second Port   : None

      Configuring Logical QAM Group Assignment

      An RF profile assigned to a logical QAM (LQAM) group applies the same RF parameters, (Annex, modulation format, symbol rate, and the ITU interleaver pair value) to all LQAM channels in that group.


      Note

      When using remote DEPI, use only one interleaver value—fec_i. For manual DEPI, use the interleaver pair values—fec_i and fec_j for RF profiles.

      On the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card, users can configure LQAM group for each QAM channel.

      When there is a mismatch between the RF parameters of one QAM channel with the other QAM channels within the same LQAM group:

      • The mismatched channel goes into Idle state; the other channels remain operational.
      • If the mismatch is intentional, it is recommended to move the mismatched QAM channel to another LQAM group.

      Restrictions

      • No more than eight QAM channels can belong to an LQAM group.
      • No more than two QAM ports can belong to a LQAM group.

      If an LQAM group is not assigned:

      • DEPI session cannot be configured.
      • depi-tunnel and cable downstream rf-profile commands cannot be executed.

        Configuring Frequency Profiles and QAM Carrier Frequency

        Stacking refers to the number of carriers in a port that use consecutive frequencies. Frequency stacking enables QAM interfaces that share power, Annex type, and modulation to be configured at the port level, while the other QAM interfaces although visible, cannot be configured.

        On the RFGW-10 DS-384 line card, frequency stacking can be achieved by grouping QAM carriers on a port.

        On an RFGW-10 DS-384 line card, each port provides a frequency range of 45 MHz to 1003 MHz. Carriers on a port are not forced to be stacked contiguously and any given carrier can occupy any part of the frequency spectrum on that port.

        Figure 2. Frequency Profiles - Lane and Block Concept



        The upconverter (UPX) on the RFGW-10 DS-384 line card provides greater frequency band range and more flexible carrier stacking schemes on each RF port. The frequency range is configured into maximum four lanes, with four blocks on every lane.

        Each block can have 8 carriers of type Annex B or Annex C, that is, 32 carriers on every lane. For Annex A each block can have 6 carriers, or 24 carriers on every lane. The frequency assigned to a carrier can begin on any lane, but must be within the frequency band of 216 MHz.

        The Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine 7-E supports two frequency schemes—Static Frequency scheme and the User-defined Frequency scheme to configure the frequency profile at the port level.

        A starting frequency can be configured at the port level (static frequency scheme) or a frequency profile ID can be configured at the port (user-defined frequency scheme). The valid values for starting frequency is from 45 MHz to 995 MHz.

        The Static frequency scheme hides the lane and block implementation of the UPX and the Cisco IOS image calculates the start frequencies of the lanes and blocks based on the start frequency specified at the port.

        The user-defined frequency scheme provides more flexibility to the user to define each lane and block start frequencies through global frequency profiles. These frequency profiles can then be applied to the port in this scheme.


        Note

        Frequency stacking cannot be configured on the RFGW-10 DS-48 line card; it is statically defined—four QAMs on every port.

        Restrictions

        • Number of QAM carriers configured on a port must not exceed 64 carriers.
        • Each block is 54 MHz wide and supports only up to a maximum of 8 carriers of type Annex B or Annex C. For Annex A, the block supports a maximum of six carriers.
        • Each lane is 216 MHz wide. Block and lane overlaps are allowed in order to stack QAM carriers continuously. However, frequencies on each QAM carrier must not overlap.

          Note

          A group of eight logical QAM channels with the same Annex type, modulation format, and symbol rate is called a logical QAM group. Logical and physical channel have a one-to-one mapping, and hence, a QAM carrier is represented as both, physical and logical channel.

          The following examples shows how to configure the frequency profile and the center frequency on the QAM interface:

          Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 714000000

          Configure Static Frequency Scheme

          The static frequency scheme preallocates lanes based on the starting frequency (fstart) of the port. The Supervisor card internally sets up fstart for all four lanes and blocks contiguously with the maximum frequency of up to 1003 MHz. The carrier frequency for each carrier can be placed anywhere starting with fstart.

          After a frequency for a carrier is accepted, the segment of that frequency range is marked "in-use" for that carrier.

          By default, fstart values range from 45 MHz to 995 MHz.

          3 fstart + 476 fstart + 395 fstart + 441 fstart + 587
          4 fstart + 660 fstart + 579 fstart + 625 fstart + 671

          Note

          By default all QAM ports are set with the static frequency scheme, and the default fstart value of 143 MHz. The value of fstart can be changed after system boot up. fstart range should be within 45 MHz to 949 MHz for blocks and 45 MHz to 787 MHz for lanes.

          Restrictions

          • If the new frequency of the carrier overlaps with another carrier frequency, the request is rejected.
          • If the carrier frequency is not within the predefined spectrum, the request is rejected.
          • If all configured frequencies within a block exceed eight carriers, the request is rejected.

          Example

          To view the fstart of the lane and block, run the following commands. The following example shows how to configure a full-frequency spectrum:

          User Scenario

          Consider the following scenario:

          • A DS-96 user licence on the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384, that is, 96 downstream channels on QAM port 3/1
          • 32 carriers
          • Annex-B
          • fstart = 234 MHz

          Requirement:

          To configure two non-contiguous and six contiguous channels with frequencies—714, 720, 726, 732, 738, 744, 320, and 475. The following table describes the lane and block frequencies on the corresponding interface.

          Table 3 Lane and Block Frequencies Configured as a Mix of Contiguous and Non-Contiguous Frequencies
          Interface Frequency Lane Block
          3/1.1 714 3 3
          3/1.2 720 3 3
          3/1.3 726 3 3
          3/1.4 732 3 3
          3/1.5 738 3 3
          3/1.6 744 3 3
          3/1.7 320 1 2
          3/1.8 475 2 2

          As a result, the lane frequencies are assigned as follows:

          • Lane 1: 234 MHz - 426 MHz
          • Lane 2: 426 MHz - 618 MHz
          • Lane 3: 618 MHz - 810 MHz
          • Lane 4: 810 MHz - 1002MHz

          Now if 12 additional contiguous channels are configured as shown in the following table:

          583

          		 2 4

          Note

          Whenever there is a change in the fstart of the port, all frequencies of QAM channel on the port are revalidated against the new lane and block. If any frequency is invalid, that frequency is set as an invalid frequency or 0 Hz and an error notification is displayed on the console.

          Configuring User-Defined Frequency Scheme


          Note

          Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.2.0SQ does not support the user-defined frequency scheme.

          Configuring the user-defined frequency scheme provides complete control to the user to configure lane, block, and channel frequencies anywhere in the spectrum through global frequency profiles. In this scheme all lane and block start frequencies (fstart) can be non-contiguous. These frequency profiles can then be applied to the port.

          In the global frequency profile, any set of 216 MHz, or less than 216 MHz (in the range of 45 MHz to 1003 MHZ) can be assigned to any lane.

          The Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine 7-E displays the lane frequency range after configuring the lane fstart.

          Restrictions

          • Frequency, lane, and block assigned to the QAM subinterface must be within the frequency range for the configured lane and block.
          • Configured frequencies within a block must not exceed 54 MHz and 8 carriers.
          • Sum total of the configured frequencies must not exceed 216 MHz on the lane and 32 channels of Annex B or 24 channels of Annex A per lane.
          • Default frequency profile is 54 MHz wide block width and 216 MHz wide lane width; however, block and lane overlaps starts at 48 MHz and 192 MHz respectively.
          • Frequencies on each channel must not overlap.
          • Annex type must be configured before configuring the frequency profile on any RF Port. If the Annex type is not specified, Annex B is assumed.

            Note

            In Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.2.0SQ, the Annex type is defined in the RF profile by default.

          • Each block fstart on a corresponding lane should be equal to, or greater than the lane fstart.
          • The Supervisor default frequency profile cannot be modified.
          • Up to 10 frequency profiles on an RF Gateway 10 chassis can be created.
          • Each block frequency range should be within the 216 MHz from the lane start frequency, provided the lane frequency range has not exceeded 1003 MHz.
          • If the fstart of the lane is not capable of occupying 216 MHz within the frequency range limit of 1003 MHz, the last block with fstart below 1003 MHz is configured. Blocks exceeding 1003 MHz are configured as invalid frequency or 0 Hz internally.
          • Blocks can overlap within the same lane.
          • Duplicate frequency profiles are not allowed.
          • If global frequency profiles are applied on any of the port at chassis level, they can no longer be deleted.
          • While removing the frequency profile from the port, the Supervisor card enables the static frequency scheme on the port with the fstart value of 143 MHz.
          • Modifications to the global frequency profile revalidates the center frequencies of all QAM channels of the port where this freq-profile is applied. If a frequency is found to be invalid, then it is set to 0 Hz (invalid frequency) and an error notification is displayed.
          • Frequency profile names are case sensitive.

              Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1
Router(config-if)# cable downstream freq-profile 1
Router(config-if)# cable downstream annex B

              The following is a sample output from the show running-config command that displays contiguous frequencies on QAM carriers with Annex B and port density of eight carriers per port:

              Router# cable downstream freq-profile 1

cable downstream freq-profile 1
   lane 1 start-freq 300000000
     block 1 start-freq 381000000
     block 2 start-freq 327000000
     block 3 start-freq 435000000
     block 4 start-freq 489000000
  lane 2 start-freq 625000000
     block 1 start-freq 652000000
     block 2 start-freq 544000000

              To run the command at the QAM interface level, the lane and block number must be assigned to the frequency allocated for the QAM subinterface. The following example shows how to configure the user-defined frequency set at the QAM subinterface level:

              Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface qam-red 3/1
Router(config-if)# cable downstream freq-profile 1
Router(config-if)# interface qam-red 3/1.1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 300000000

              How to Configure DEPI on a QAM Interface

              All QAM carriers on an RF port can be used on the DEPI as long as the QAM subinterface is configured for DEPI mode.

              Restrictions

              To use DEPI, run the cable mode depi command to reserve bandwidth for the mid-plane.

              The cable mode depi local lbg command is used to specify the load balancing group (LBG) that can be used to forward traffic to the line card. However, for remote DEPI, the system reserves the bandwidth of the LBG that is least loaded.

              For more information on Configuring Manual DEPI Sessions, see M-CMTS DEPI.

              How to Configure a Line Card Switchover

              During a line card switchover to a redundant or standby line card, the QAM configuration, logical profile ID, QAM ID mapping, and frequency ID assignments of the primary line card remain unchanged and are reapplied on the standby line card.

              Configuration Examples of the QAM Features for the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 Line Card

              This section describes a sample user scenario with the following configuration:

              • User licence on the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card: DS-96 (96 downstream channels)
              • Four service groups connected to four RF ports on the line card
              • Eight contiguous carriers on every port: 32 carriers
              • Center frequencies on the RF port: 717 MHz, 723 MHz, 729 MHz, 735 MHz, 741 MHz, 747 MHz, 753 MHz, and 759 MHz

              User Requirements

              To use QAM 64 in the highest two carriers in the channel lineup.

              Recommendation

              Configure two RF profiles that can be used for four logical groups in the upconverter as follows:

              RF Profile 1

              • Logical Group 1 – QAM 64, Annex B

              RF Profile 2

              • Logical Group 2 – QAM 256, Annex B
              • Logical Group 3 – QAM 256, Annex B
              • Logical Group 4 – QAM 256, Annex B

              The carriers in the logical group can be assigned as:

              • Logical Group 1: 3/1.7, 3/1.8, 3/2.7, 3/2.8, 3/3.7, 3/3.8, 3/4.7, 3/4.8
              • Logical Group 2: 3/1.1, 3/1.2, 3/1.3, 3/1.4, 3/1.5, 3/1.6, 3/2.1, 3/2.2
              • Logical Group 3: 3/2.3, 3/2.4, 3/2.5, 3/2.6, 3/3.1, 3/3.2, 3/3.3, 3/3.4
              • Logical Group 4: 3/3.5, 3/3.6, 3/4.1, 3/4.2, 3/4.3, 3/4.4, 3/4.5, 3/4.6

              With a default starting frequency of 234 MHz, the lane and block frequencies can be configured as described in the table below:

              Configuring a QAM Subinterface


              Note

              QAM subinterfaces are not visible in the configuration until the density at the port is configured:

              Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream max-carriers 8

              The following output displays the QAM subinterfaces:

              Configuring Downstream RF Parameters

              Before configuring carrier center frequencies, the following should be configured:

              • A unique Annex mode for the QAM via the rf-profile assignment
              • A freq-profile or the start-freq at the port level

              To configure and manage the QAM RF profile:

              1. Create an RF profile, if an RF profile does not exist. See "Creating an RF Profile" section below.
              2. Assign the profile ID to a given QAM interface. See "Assigning an RF Profile to a QAM Subinterface" section below.

              Creating an RF Profile

              The RFGW-10 DS-384 line card supports global (chassis level) RF profiles. A global RF profile configuration consists of choice of modulation, two options of interleaver depth (feci/j), and symbol rate for Annex A.


              Note

              Interleaver depth provides protection from bursts of noise on the hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network. For more information on the commands to configure the interleaver depth, see the Cisco RF Gateway 10 Command Reference.

              Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)# cable downstream rf-profile 1
Router(config-rfprof)# cable downstream modulation 64
Router(config-rfprof)# cable downstream annex A
Router(config-rfprof)# cable downstream interleaver-depth option1 I128-J1 option2 I32-J4

              Note

              If the Annex mode is set to Annex A, configure the symbol rate using the cable downstream symbol rate command.

              Assigning an RF Profile to a QAM Subinterface

              After configuring the profile, the RF profile must be assigned to a QAM subinterface in the chassis.


              Note

              An Annex type must be configured on a port before the RF profile is assigned on any one of its QAM subinterfaces; otherwise Annex B is taken as the default Annex type on all ports.


              Note

              An rf-profile with Annex B can be configured and then applied either at the QAM subinterface level or at the port level. If the rf-profile is applied at the port level, all QAMs on that port are configured with this rf-profile.

              Router(config)# interface qam 3/1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream annex A
Router(config-subif)# exit
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.7
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream rf-profile 1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream interleaver-depth I32-J4
Router(config-subif)# exit
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.8
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream rf-profile 1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream interleaver-depth I128-J1
Router(config-subif)# end

              Configuring RF Power

              When a QAM subinterface is created, the Cisco RF Gateway 10, by default, assigns RF power to the QAM based on the number of combined carriers on the port. However, RF power output can be changed by using the cable downstream rf-power command.

              The following example shows how to change the RF output power on a carrier to 50.5 dBmV:

              Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.7
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream rf-power 50.5
Router(config-subif)# end

              Configuring Downstream Frequency

              To configure downstream frequency two methods can be used:

              • Use the cable downstream frequency command at the port level to identify the lower edge starting frequency. This command creates a single lane using two blocks on each RF port. 
                Router(config)# interface qam 3/1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 627000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 714000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.2
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 720000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.3
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 726000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.4
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 732000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.5
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 738000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.6
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 744000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.7
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 750000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.8
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 756000000
              • Specify a frequency plan by configuring the lane and block frequencies, and assigning them to each carrier.

                Note

                Assigning a freq-profile ID on an RF port overwrites the start-frequency that is preassigned at the RF port. Use the show cable freq-profile command to display the frequency profile on the RF port.

                Router(config)# cable downstream freq-profile 1
Router(config-frq)# lane 1 start-freq 627000000
Router(config-frq-ln)# block 1 start-freq 714000000
Router(config-frq-ln)# end
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream freq-profile 1
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.1
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 714000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.2
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 720000000
Router(config)# interface qam 3/1.3
Router(config-subif)# cable downstream frequency 726000000
