Chapter 3 Configuring Platform Parameters<br />

Configuring QAM-RF Modules<br />

4. Focus on the RF Scheme and RF Template sections.<br />

5. To define the encoding mode, open the ITU-T Annex list and select one of the following:<br />

Table 3-7: Encoding Mode<br />

Encoding Mode<br />

Annex-A (DVB)<br />

Annex-B<br />

Annex-C (Japan)<br />

Explanation<br />

This mode is used mainly in European and Asian countries.<br />

Utilizes bandwidth of 8 MHz per QAM-RF channel.<br />

This is the mode used in North-American countries. Utilizes<br />

bandwidth of 6 MHz per QAM-RF channel.<br />

As implied by its name, used mainly in Japan. Similar to<br />

Annex-A in the most part, but utilizes bandwidth of 6 MHz<br />

per QAM-RF channel.<br />

6. To define the required constellation, open the Constellation list. The Constellation is the<br />

type of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) used. QAM constellation affects Data<br />

Rate and Symbol Rate, and must be set according to HFC network properties. Valid<br />

values are:<br />

Encoding Mode<br />

Valid Values<br />

Annex-A or Annex-C 16, 32, 64, 128, 256<br />

Annex-B 64 and 256<br />

7. In Symbol Rate (Msps), view/configure the rate of QAM symbols that are encoded and<br />

transmitted per second as follows:<br />

Annex-B - (Read-only), symbol rate is fixed per constellation<br />

Annex-A - configure in the following allowed range: 5.0000 - 6.9565<br />

Annex-C - configure in the following allowed range: 5.0000 - 5.3131<br />
