Chapter 3 Configuring Platform Parameters
Configuring QAM-RF Modules
Power Level (dBmV) - The power level of the RF port. Once you define the RF power
level, the power level of all QAM channels in the port changes accordingly. All QAM
channels have the same power level in relation to the defined power level of the RF
port. Once you configure the power level in dBmV, you can view the power level also
in dBuV.
Power Level Per QAM - define the QAM power level for all QAM channels within the
port. This value appears in the QAM tab as a read-only value. Once you configure the
power level per port in dBmV, you can view the power level per port also in dBuV.
NOTE: Any changes to the RF power level affect the QAMs power level and vise versa.
5. Review the port and its QAM channels configuration via the provided bar graphs as
explained in the following section.
3.12.3.1 Understanding the RF Port Graph
A bar graph, for each RF port displays the current configuration of the RF port as the following
table explains:

Explanation
# QAMs per Port Number of bars in graph. Each QAM-RF channel is represented by
a bar.
Power Level (dBmV)
Height of bar. Each bar represents a QAM, however the power
level of each QAM depends on the RF port power level.
