3.12.5 Viewing QAM-RF Module Information
1. Select the Platform tab.
2. In Back Panel View, select the required slot.
3. Select the General tab.
4. View the following information:
Serial Number - The serial number of the mounted module.
FPGA Version - The version of the interface FPGA card.
HUC SW Version - The version of the Harmonic Up Converter firmware. A version of
06.00 and higher indicates an up converter of 1G.
Status - Indicates the status of the module:
Module OK - the module is mounted and works properly
Module is Out - the module is not mounted in the slot
Module Failed - the mounted module is faulty or there is a mismatch between the
module and the configuration.
License Status - shows the QAM channel number, its frequency, and granted
QAM/PM licenses. See, 3.14 Managing Your Licenses on page 56.
3.13 RF Module Redundancy Overview
The RF module redundancy protects the network from a faulty QAM-RF module. The RF
module redundancy allows an intra-chassis redundancy switch that does not require an
additional backup device. You may define the RF module in slot nine as the redundancy
module for any faulty RF module. As a result, the redundancy switch takes place among the
QAM-RF modules and not between a primary and backup devices.
For the RF module redundancy to take place, the following should apply:
• Up to 8 of the NSG 9000-6G QAM-RF modules in slots one to eight, are configured and
provisioned with TSs. The QAM manager of all QAMs of these QAM-RF modules should
be Broadcast.
NOTE: RF module redundancy applies to QAM-RF module with Broadcast QAM manager only.
