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 />
