Cisco HFC Platform	Remote PHY Device
Cisco GS7000 Node	Cisco 1x2 RPD Software 1.1 and Later Releases Cisco Remote PHY Device 1x2 PID—RPD-1X2= PID—RPD-1X2-PKEY=

Note

The -PKEY suffix in the PID indicates units that enable the SCTE-55-2 Out-of-Band protocol support.

Information about Power Configuration for Compact Shelf

For Compact Shelf, new commands have been added to configure RF channel's power level, the input power level for the upstream radio frequency (RF) carrier, and the base channel power level.

How to Configure Base Power, Downstream Power Level, and Upstream Power Level

This section describes how to configure base power, downstream power level, and upstream power level on Compact Shelf.

Configuring Maximum Carriers

To configure the maximum number of carriers, complete the following procedure. The default number of maximum carriers specified is 158. The maximum number of carrier ranges from 1–158.

configure terminal 
cable rpd name 
rpd-ds port max-carrier value

This is an example of maximum carrier configuration:


Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#cable rpd node6
Router(config-rpd)#rpd-ds 0 max-carrier 128

Configuring Base Channel Power Level

To set the base channel power level, complete the following procedure. The base channel powel level range is 25–34.

configure terminal 
cable rpd name 
rpd-ds port base-power value

This is an example of base channel power level configuration.

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#cable rpd node6
Router(config-rpd)# rpd-ds 0 base-power 30

Configuring RF Channel Power Level

To adjust the RF channel's power level, complete the following procedure. The RF channel power level range is 7–23

configure terminal 
cable rpd name 
rpd-ds port rf-channel number power-adjust value

This is an example of RF channel power power level.

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#cable upstream controller-profile 221
Warning: changes to this profile will affect the following controllers:
          9/0/10,

Confirm to continue? [no]: yes
Router(config-controller-profile)#us
Router(config-controller-profile)#us-channel 0 pow
Router(config-controller-profile)#us-channel 0 power-level ?
  <-7 - 25>  Power level in dBmV(-4~25 for rphy-node, -7~23 for rphy-shelf)

Router(config-controller-profile)#us-channel 0 power-level 23
