Power supply

A DC adapter is provided to power and charge the meter. Plug the adapter into a properly grounded electrical supply and the power connector on the side of the unit.

When external power is supplied, the battery management system automatically controls the charging process. A battery icon indicates the charge status of the battery. When the battery is fully charged, the battery icon is completely filled. As the battery discharges, the amount the icon is filled decreases in steps. The icon shows 5 states representing the approximate battery charge:

• Battery charge less than 5%.
• Battery charge between 5% and 25%.
• Battery charge between 25% and 50%.
• Battery charge between 50% and 75%.
• Battery charge greater than 75%.

From a fully discharged state, a full charge takes approximately 8 hours and a 3 hour charge will provide approximately a 75% charge. The charge management system will detect various conditions preventing charging, such as a battery that is over a safe temperature.

Battery Recommendations

To maximize battery life:

• Avoid fully discharging the battery.
• The battery should always be charged with the battery pack attached to the device and using the supplied DC adapter or applying a constant voltage within the specified range (12-15VDC).
• For long-term storage, keep the unit at room temperature, or about 25º C. Start with a charged battery and re-charge the battery every 2 to 3 months.

Product Operation

Docsis (H30D+ / H30D+Adv)

In this menu are grouped all functions related to the Docsis network.

Connection Status

This function shows all the steps the H30D+/H30D+Adv is taking to connect to a DOCSIS network. Each time a step is successfully completed, it is indicated with a checkmark. The steps are shown in order. The first thing that the modem has to do is read the status of the connection. Then, the modem has to range and lock on to the downstream channel. Once the modem is locked, it is shown the frequency of the channel used for receiving data from the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System). The modem will then attempt the same with the upstream channel. Then, the DHCP server must assign the IP network parameters to the modem. The next step is to synchronize the time with the TOD (Time Of Day) server. In both cases, the IP addresses of the servers will be shown in the window. The modem then gets and displays the name of the configuration file given by the CMTS. Last, is the modem registration status, the level of security (None or BPI+), the DOCSIS version, and the channel bonding configuration.

Main window
Below is a capture of a Connection window with a brief explanation of its features.

Docsis3.1 Advanced

This function shows all the measurements of the OFDM Docsis channel. In addition to the level and MER measurements, all the PLC (physical link channel) and NCP (next codeword pointer) measurements are also shown which are very important for the system to work properly. For the Level measure, the average, maximum and minimum values of all the frequencies are shown. For the MER measure, the average, maximum and minimum values of all the frequencies are shown. For the PLC, the average, maximum and minimum values of all the frequencies are shown., the MER and the uncorrectable codeword errors. This last measure is also shown for NCP.

Constellation

Digital video often does not show signal impairment until it is too late due to the small margin between acceptable quality and failure.
Constellation diagrams are an indispensable tool to help detect the presence of noise, phase jitter, interference, and gain compression, all of which impact overall signal quality and thus reduce the Modulation Error Ratio (MER).
Ideally, each of the symbols in a constellation diagram should display a clean dot indicating a perfect QAM signal.
The H30+/D+/D+Adv’s real-time constellation, allows the installer to assess the size and shape of the build-up of dots indicative of problems that contribute to bit errors leading to service disruption

Using the buttons placed at the top right of the screen, you can remove the selected Data logs or download them to your computer in .xls format (it will be generated a .xls file for each Datalog and they all will be downloaded together in a .zip file) Clicking on a Datalog of the list, the measurements of that Datalog will be displayed:

Plans

• In this window, you can see all the channel plans of your H30+/D+/D+Adv.

Terrestrial and Customer Channel Plans

• The channel plans are grouped in three categories: Terrestrial and Customer.

• The default Terrestrial channel plans are the standard channel plans.

• These plans can be removed from the meter, but they can not be edited. However, you can make a copy of one of them to build a new customer channel plan from it.
  The duplicated plans will appear in the Customer list automatically.

• The customer channel plans can be edited:

• You can create a new channel plan from an existing one by clicking on the corresponding button. Or you can start from scratch, by clicking on the “New custom plan” button:

Plans repository

• The application also allows to configure the channel plans according to the geographic area you will use the meter. When you turn the meter on for the first time, you must select the languaje and then you must select the geographic area. So, the channel plans corresponding to that area will be available in your H30+/D+/D+Adv. But the user may add other standard channel plans corresponding to other geographic areas (this is specially helpful for those places located near the frontier between two areas). To do that, click on the “Channel plan repository” button :
• The channel plans added from the repository will
• be uploaded to your H30+/D+/D+Adv, but none of the channel plans in your meter will be removed.

IPTV
Using this function, the user can create and edit IPTV channels plans. Each channel plan has only one plan, indicating the IP address and the port for each channel:

Quality Profiles
Using the web application you can add new quality profiles. The H30+/D+/D+Adv has two pre-defined quality profiles (head-end and outlet) that can not be edited, but they can be duplicated. The duplicated quality profiles are saved in the custom quality profiles, and the custom quality profiles can be edited.

Multiscreen
Using this feature you can control your H30+ remotely. For this to work, it is necessary that the H30+/D+/D+Adv and the computer are connected to the same LAN.
To access to this feature you must enter the password admin in the right top part of the window. Then you will see the screen of the H30+/D+/D+Adv on your computer:

Clone
Using this feature it is very easy to have the same configuration in all your H30+/D+/D+Adv meters. You only have to export the configuration of the H30+/D+/D+Adv that you wanto to copy, using the Export feature. This configuration will be saved to a file on your computer. Then, connect other H30+/D+/D+Adv where you want to copy the configuration to and select the Import feature.

Update
In this section, you can update the firmware of your H30+/D+/D+Adv, as well as install new licenses in your meter. If your H30+/D+/D+Adv is connected to the internet, the system will detect automatically if your meter is already updated by clicking on “Last firmware version”. If it is not, then you can download the new version and install it automatically from this menu. If you get the updated file from your distributor, you can install it on your H30+/D+/D+Adv by clicking on “Manually updating firmware”.
Same with licenses: if your H30+/D+/D+Adv is connected to the internet, it will detect newly purchased licenses automatically when you turn it on, and will install them automatically. But if you get the licenses from your distributor, you can install them on your device by clicking on “Add license”.
