Correcteds

This displays the number of blocks received that 

required correction due to corruption, and were 

corrected.

Uncorrectables

This displays the number of blocks received that 

required correction due to corruption, but were unable to 

be connected.

OFDM Downstream Overview

Receiver

This displays the index number of the OFDM receiver 

(see 

OFDM

 on page 

43

).

FFT Type

This displays the type of Fast Fourier Transform in use 

on the relevant OFDM receiver (see 

FFT

 on page 

43

).

Subcarr 0 Frequency 

(Hz)

Each OFDM signal consists of multiple subcarriers.This 

displays the frequency, in Hertz, of the first OFDM 

subcarrier on the relevant receiver.

PLC Locked

This displays whether or not the relevant OFDM 

connection’s physical link channel (PLC) data is locked. 

The PLC tells the CODA-4x8x how to decode the OFDM 

signal, and what power level to use. Once the CODA-

4x8x receives a PLC without uncorrectable errors, the 

PLC is locked and subsequent communication can 

continue.

NCP Locked

This displays whether or not the relevant OFDM 

connection’s next codeword pointer (NCP) data is 

locked. The NCP tells the CODA-4x8x which codewords 

are to be used for OFDM communication, and which 

profile to use for each codeword. Once the CODA-4x8x 

receives an NCP without uncorrectable errors, the NCP 

is locked and subsequent communication can continue.

MDC1 Locked

This displays whether or not the relevant OFDM 

connection’s Multipath Delay Commutator (MDC) data 

is locked. This provides information about the method of 

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to be used on the OFDM 

connection. Once the CODA-4x8x receives an MDC1 

without errors, the MDC1 is locked and subsequent 

communication can continue.

PLC Power (dBmV)

This displays the power level the CODA-4x8x has been 

instructed to use on the relevant OFDM connection by 

the physical link channel (PLC) data, in dBmV (decibels 

above/below 1 millivolt).
