Alarms Panel

The Alarms panel (middle right) allows you to quickly tell if something is drastically
wrong. Clicking an alarm provides more detailed information.

Back Panel



Green – Part is inserted and system recognized it.



Red – The part is there but something’s wrong. In this case, no link detected for
GbE 2.



Grey – It is not there. GbE Port 3 not connected in this case.

Monitor Tab

The RF Gateway 1 provides extensive capability for monitoring the current status of
the system. The Monitor tab provides utilities for monitoring:



Input streams (i.e., stream activity, input bitrates)



Output streams (i.e., per carrier stream mapping, provisioned bitrates)



Platform related device and inventory information



Data specific monitoring (i.e., DOCSIS sync presence)



DTI server connectivity and status



Resource Utilization (i.e., CPU and memory utilization)

Input Monitoring

The Monitor tab provides utilities for monitoring input ports. Input port statistics
are accessible from the Main page of the Monitor tab. The following Status
information is provided for each GbE port.



Primary and active ports



Link status



UDP or L2TPv3 packets



MPEG content presence



Receive bitrates



CRC Error Rate (per 5 min)



Receive and transmit packet counts
