PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
Cable Interface Control
Choose “Enable” to turn-on the RF interface of the
ECM and “Disable” to turn it off. This parameter is
useful when the Hub is used for a non-DOCSIS
application, such as the wireless transport of a digital
video or CBR (constant bit rate) voice signal, and
there is no DOCSIS channel on the cable plant.
Selecting “Disable” will prevent the ECM from
continually scanning for a downstream channel,
when none is present.
When Cable Interface Control is set to “Disable”,
Network Access is set to “Disable” and Upstream
Attenuation can not be set to “99”, automatic mode.
The default setting is “Enable”.
Auto Frequency Set
Choose “ENABLE” to have ARCSmart
automatically program the Hub CATV EIA Input
Channel and Upstream Frequency parameters with
the same values used by the ECM. When set to
“ENABLE” these values will change whenever the
values are changed at the ECM. This setting is used
for plug-n-play installation of the Hub. Choose
“Disable” when these parameters will be set
manually to values different than those used by the
ECM. In this mode the values entered will persist
regardless of the values used by the ECM and across
a Hub power outage or reboot. This mode is useful
when the Hub transmits a no
n
-DOCSIS channel,
