selectthedesiredchanneltable’snamefromthelistoftabsatthe  
top of the Channel Tables window. Click on the Get button. The  
table will scroll through the channels as this process takes place.  
It may require a minute or so, depending on the number of

To Get All Channel Tables  
Allofthechanneltablemaybedownloadedatonce, ifmorethan  
one table is used, but will take considerably longer. Use the  
single channel mode if one is all that you need. To download all  
of the channel tables click on the ALL.  
Channel Table Information  
Channel - NTSC channel number. Any 3-digit number or 4-  
character alphanumeric may be assigned, if it has not already  
beenused.  
Frequency – The video carrier frequency of NTSC channels or  
the center frequency of a digital channel. Note that this is the  
center frequency of digital channels and not the frequency of the  
typical video carrier for an analog channel. Changing the  
Modulation type from an analog type to a digital type will  
automatically change the frequency from the typical video  
carrier frequency to the center frequency and vice versa. If you  
change the frequency and then change the modulation type, the  
PC-IP software will automatically change your frequency to the  
wrong center frequency. If you plan to enter the center  
frequency, set the modulation type first.  
Offset - Frequency offsets may be programmed on any channel  
in 62.5 kHz increments from 0 to 3.0 MHz. Small offsets of  
12.5 kHz are not required, since the IF resolution bandwidth  
easily accommodates small offsets without errors.  
Active (Yes/No) – The Install Profiler allows measurements on  
that channel when Active Yes is chosen. Active no hides the  
channel from the list of active test channels. These channels will  
be skipped when using the arrow keys for channel selection and  
will not be used in the automated SMART tests. All channels  
remain available in the channel and frequency-tuning mode  
when they are entered via the alphanumeric keys.

Modulation - The type of modulation expected may be setup by  
selecting from NTSC, 64 QAM, 256 QAM, PAL-B, PAL-B/G,  
PAL-D, PAL-I, PAL-N, QPSK, QPR, DVB-64, DVB-256,  
Annex C64 and Annex C256.  
Symbol Rate - The symbol rate for the signal being tested is set  
automatically for both 64 and 256 QAM (5.056941 MHz for 64  
QAM and 5.360537 MHz for 256 QAM). The user may enter  
other data to change the default rate to any other data rate. The  
symbol rate must be within approximately 0.1% of the actual  
rate used for the Install Profiler to demodulate the digital signals  
to make MER and BER measurements.  
Bandwidth - This is the setting for the allocated bandwidth for  
the channel. The bandwidth is defaulted to 6 MHz for Annex B  
and C modulation types and to 7 or 8 MHz for Annex A  
modulation types depending on the channel’s frequency and  
plan. The user may change the default setting.  
Video/Audio1-Thisisthesettingforthefrequencyoffsetofthe

Analog Pilots - Analog pilots are set to the low and high pilot  
typically used to control the automatic gain and slope of the  
amplifier or the lowest and highest analog channel. These  
channels are used to calculate the tilt of the analog channels in  
the automated tests. To select a channel, click on the box and  
select the desired channel from the pull down window. Only  
active analog channels are displayed in the pull down window.  
If these are not set, the Tilt and Peak-to-Valley measurements

Scan.  
Dwell - Causes the Install Profiler to go to the first channel in the  
Downstream Ranging Channel list (setup in the active Channel  
Table) and to dwell on that channel until it locks on the  
downstream DOCSIS channel. This setting is recommended  
when you have only one specific DOCSIS CMTS downstream  
channel.  
SCAN - Causes the Install Profiler to sequence through the list  
of Downstream Ranging Channels until it successfully ranges  
with the CMTS. Whenever the active channel plan is changed,

PC-IP software. The typical setup is to measure a TDMA  
upstream signal on marker M1, to measure interference or  
distortion on marker M2 and the noise floor on marker M3.  
Theusermaymanuallypositionthemarkers.Thetypicalmarker  
setup is to place M1 at the upstream frequency with the BW  
(bandwidth) set according to the upstream signal’s occupied  
bandwidth, using the average power detector (for QAM, QPSK  
or noise measurements). M2 is set to the frequency of expected  
ingress or distortion with a 0 MHz bandwidth, using the peak  
detector. M3 is set to the frequency expected to allow a noise  
floor measurement (empty spectrum, but within the diplex filter  
and return amplifier’s frequency range), with the bandwidth  
matching the upstream signal and the detector set to average  
power. Again the user can adjust the markers, as required, when  
the Return Spectrum mode is initialized.

CLONEUTILITY  
The Clone feature is effectively copies all of the configuration  
information from one Install Profiler to one or more Install  
Profilers. This ensures that all of your Install Profilers are  
identically configured. Prepare the complete Install Profiler  
configuration setup before you begin the clone process. Check  
the Install Profiler setup on the network to verify that it ranges  
and registers properly and that the proper limits are set.  
The typical procedure for cloning is:  
1. Configure the initial Install Profiler using the General  
Setup, Channel Table, Cable Modem and Limits functions  
to completely set up the initial Install Profiler.  
2. Verify the Install Profiler configuration setup.  
3. Use the Clone function to quickly and reliably configure  
additional identical Install Profilers.  
To open the Clone feature as shown in the figure below, simply  
click on the CLONE icon in the main Task Bar and the CLONE  
UTILITY window will be displayed.

the error rate of the incoming signal prior to being corrected by  
the FEC (Forward Error Correction) circuitry in the Install  
Profiler. A minimum of 1.0 E-7 should be expected, although  
FEC may be able to correct errors as high as 1.0 E-6  
PostFEC BER - The PostFEC BER (Post-FEC Bit Error Rate)  
is the error rate of the signal after the FEC has resolved and  
corrected all of the errors it can. Any errors not corrected by the  
FECwillimpairDOCSIStransmissionsanddecreasethroughput.  
1.0 E-9 is typical performance although any errors <1.0 E-0 will  
reduce the data transfer rate.  
MER - MER (Modulation Error Ratio), the digital equivalent of  
signal-to-noise, is the measurement of the demodulated digital  
signal in the noise (and other impairments) of its environment.  
This measurement is based on constellation statistics and is the  
ratio of where the data actually plots on a constellation to the  
ideal center of the constellation decision window. A minimum  
of 22 dB MER is needed for 64 QAM, 28 dB for 256 QAM.  
Adjacent Channel – Displays the channel number and  
modulation type of the adjacent channel.  
AdjacentVideo–Displaysthefrequencyoftheadjacentcarrier  
and level measurement of the upper adjacent video carrier in

Adjacent Channel Ratio – This display will be added in future  
releases of the PC-IP firmware. Displays the result of the  
difference in level between the primary channel’s level  
measurementandthemeasurementoftheupperadjacentchannel  
in dB. This measurement and calculation is only made if the  
upper adjacent video carrier is within the nominal channel  
bandwidth of the tuned channel.

the type of signal that is being measured, according to the  
Channel Table data and measurement levels.  
Scan is an automated test mode with a quick and  
comprehensive set of tests on all of the channels in the  
currently active channel table. The Install Profiler steps  
through the channel table and measures the video and audio  
or digital carrier level of each active channel, displays the  
measurements graphically on the screen and builds a data  
table with the measurement results in tabular form. The  
measurement results are also compared to the Limits criteria  
stored in memory in the Limits Setup screen. See the Limits  
Setup section. Measurements, which fall within the Limits  
criteria, willbedisplayedintheirnormalcolors;measurements  
outside of the Limits criteria will be displayed in red. Set the  
appropriate Location prior to initiating Scan so that the  
appropriate Limits criteria is used to qualify the test results.

Downloading Replacement Software  
The latest upgrades are always available at the Sunrise Telecom  
Web page located at www.sunrisetelecom.com/broadband.  
When upgrading, it is best to be sure that you have a CM500 IP  
available and that you have sent your entire database to it using  
the Clone Copy command or the Send commands from each of  
the configuration Setup screens. This will ensure that your  
database information is saved and available in the future.  
Select the Downloads item from the Web page. Information is  
available on this page, which explains the changes that you will  
expecttofindintheupgradedfirmwareandsoftware. Typically,  
both the latest PC-IP software and Install Profiler firmware will  
be released together. Check the box for the installation package  
that you need. You may check both to download both PC-IP and  
InstallProfilerupgrades. Youwillbeasktofilloutaregistration  
form, which ensures that you receive important notices about  
future upgrades when they become available. Once this form is  
complete, you begin the download process. When prompted,  
select the Save to my PC option and click on OK. The upgrades  
will be saved to the Temp directory of your PC. Once this  
process is complete, you will need to go to the Temp directory  
and open the installation package for one or both programs.  
Installing the PC-IP Upgrade  
Using Windows Explorer, open the file named:  
“PCIPSetup#.##.exe”. This will un-install the last version of  
PC-IPsoftware. Confirmthepromptsthatyouwanttoun-install  
PC-IP. Running the “PCIPSetup#.##.exe” a second time will  
install the new upgraded version of PC-IP software. This  
installation will follow the same procedure outlined in the  
Installation section of this manual.  
If there are compatibility issues between the old database(s) and  
the new program a message appears when the program opens. If  
the old database cannot be opened, you can download your

previous database from the CM500 IP where you uploaded your  
database prior to the upgrade.  
Installing the CM500 IP Upgrade  
Using Windows Explorer, open the file named:  
“CM500Upgrade#.##.exe”. This will install a program on your  
PC to upgrade your CM500 IPs. Confirm the prompts that you  
want to install the program. Once installed, open the program  
and follow the on-screen instructions to upgrade your CM500s.

APPENDIX A: EXAMPLE FTP SETUP  
Introduction  
Meteor FTP software is a shareware program which can be used  
to provide an FTP server for the CM500 IP operation. Sunrise  
TelecomdoesnotendorseorrecommendMeteorFTPasaserver  
program and only provides this documentation as an example of  
atypicalimplementation.MeteorFTPiscopyrightedbyCharles  
W. Clark. The latest version of Meteor FTP may be downloaded  
from the Internet at: http://66.235.19.241/meteorftp.exe. These  
general instructions will be helpful for use with any FTP server  
application.  
Meteor FTP is a personal FTP server designed for the Microsoft  
Windows 98, 2000, XP and Windows Millennium Edition  
operating systems. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is one of the  
most commonly used methods for transferring files on the  
internet and is widely supported by a large variety of clients,  
including popular web browsing software. Meteor FTP features  
a straightforward, easy to use interface, stability and good  
performance for personal FTP sites. With Meteor FTP, you can  
allowuserstouploadanddownloadfilestoyourcomputerusing  
either a specific logon and password or anonymous access.  
BeawarethatanyFTPservercanpresentsecurityvulnerabilities  
on the computer on which it runs, potentially allowing access to  
system resources beyond those intended by the systemoperator.  
For this reason Meteor FTP is NOT recommended for use on  
systems hosting sensitive files such as financial records, etc.  
The FTP server will need to be setup on your network where it  
isaccessiblefromapublicIPand“close”totheCMTS. TheFTP  
Server provides 1) a file to be used to download during the  
downstreamdataratetest,2)alocationtouploadafileduringthe  
Upstream Data Rate Test and 3) a bitmap to be displayed  
following an Ethernet (optional) or Browser (optional) test. The

IP address of the server, a user name, password and a file name  
for the download will need to be programmed into the CM500  
IP to access the FTP site. These parameters will need to match  
the parameters setup in the FTP server.  
ManyofthesetupsandoperationoftheFTPserverwill  
be up to the user’s preference. Notes in italics in each  
section will provide helpful hints in areas where the  
configuration is especially important to the CM500 IP  
operation.

FTP Root Directory  
This is the top-level directory in the FTP server. Users are not  
allowed access to any directories above this one in the directory  
tree. This is also the default directory for all users unless  
specified otherwise on the Anonymous FTP page or in the User  
Accountsdialog.  
The FTP Root Directory must contain the downstream  
data rate test file and the bitmap named webscr.bin  
used for Ethernet and Browser (optional) tests. This  
file ma ybe of any type and size up to 1 MB. A sample  
0.5 MB file, named ram.bin is included in the root

Anonymous FTP Access  
Anonymous access is not required by the CM500 IP  
and in general should be avoided. Although your site is  
not publicized, malicious Internet users will find it. We  
strongly recommend not allowing anonymous access.  
Even with user name and password protection, the  
information on your server is not secure. Be sure that  
no sensitive or confidential information is stored on  
thisserver.  
Figure9-2  
Enabling anonymous FTP access allows people to connect to  
yourserverbysimplysending“anonymous”astheirlogonname  
andanarbitrarypassword. Thisistheleastsecureformofaccess  
that can be allowed, and should be used with caution.  
Caution: When enabling anonymous FTP access, users will  
beabletoviewfilesbelowthespecifiedrootdirectory.  
Be sure that these directories only contain files you  
wish to share with users.  
To enable anonymous access, check the Allow Anonymous  
Logon box. Then check each of the access rights you wish to  
grant anonymous users. Check Read Permission to allow  
anonymous users to view and retrieve files in your FTP server  
directories. Check Write Permission to allow anonymous users

to upload files to your server’s default uploads directory. Select  
Delete Permission to allow users to delete or overwrite files on  
your FTP server.  
Caution: The Write Permission and Delete Permission check  
boxes should only be checked if you are sure you  
wish to allow users to upload files to your computer  
and delete or overwrite existing files. Use these  
permissionscarefully.  
By default the Root Directory for Anonymous Users is set to the  
default FTP root. Click on the browse button and select the  
desired folder if you wish to have another folder under the  
default root server as the root for anonymous users. This can be  
done to contain anonymous access within a subset of your FTP  
directories.  
Setting Access Limits  
Figure9-3  
The General dialog is used to set various access limits on your  
FTP server. This can be done to ensure maximum performance  
of the server by limiting the total number of simultaneous  
connections and to limit the number of connections from each  
remotecomputer.

You can choose to either disconnect existing connections when  
a user attempts to exceed the limit or to refuse the new incoming  
connection. Normally disconnecting the older connections is  
mostappropriate.  
Select Enable Address Filtering if you would like to filter access  
to the FTP server depending on the remote client computer’s IP  
address. This can be useful in limiting access to a trusted set of  
users, as well as to specifically block specific IP addresses and  
blocks of IP addresses.

to the filter list and must be removed via the IP Filtering dialog  
box to re-enable access.  
See IP Address Filtering for more details.  
Monitoring user activity  
Check “Monitor On by default” to automatically monitor all  
user activity in the monitor window. Even if the monitor is not  
set on by default, you can monitor specific users by selecting  
them in the user pane and selecting “Monitor” from the user  
contextmenu.  
Check “Record file lists On by default” if you wish to be able to  
track which files a user has downloaded and uploaded. This list  
remains in memory during the user session and can be output to  
the monitor window by selecting “Show file list” from the user  
contextmenu.

FTP Server Cache Settings  
Figure 9-5 Cache Files  
Meteor FTP can be configured to maintain caches of the most  
frequently accessed files and directories. This can significantly  
increase performance by storing this data in dynamic memory  
and thus avoiding slow hard drive access requests.  
The settings for best performance depend on the amount of  
available RAM in the computer and the number and size of the  
filesanddirectoriesontheserver.Ingeneral,thelargerthecache  
the better. Ideally, the memory cache would be set large enough  
to contain all the files in the server. In that case, all files and  
directories would only be read from disk the first time they are  
requested by a user. Thereafter the data will be transmitted  
directly from memory, decreasing server response time. Note,  
however, that that it may be counterproductive to set the cache  
size bigger than available physical memory.  
To cache requested files, check the “Cache files” check box and  
then set the desired RAM cache size.  
ForusewiththeCM500IP, theCacheFilesboxshould  
be checked with a file size of at least 100 kB.

CACHE DIRECTORY REQUESTS  
Similarly,tocachedirectoryrequests,checkthe“CacheDirectory  
Listings” check box and set the desired directory cache size.  
EvenonsystemswithlimitedphysicalRAM, enablingdirectory  
cachingcanresultinasignificantimprovementinuserperception  
of server performance.  
For use with the CM500 IP, the Cache Directory  
Listingsboxshouldbecheckedwithafilesizeofatleast  
5MB.  
The Overflow Adjustment setting controls the percentage of the  
cache that is cleared when the cache reaches it maximum size.  
For performance reasons it is best to clear a significant fraction  
of the cache (20%+) when an overflow occurs. The caching  
algorithm will maintain the most frequently requested files in  
the cache for best performance.  
Check the Auto Refresh File Cache setting if files on the server  
changeperiodically.Thiswillcausethefilecachetoberefreshed  
at the specified interval to make updated versions of the files on  
the server available to users.  
Similarly, check the Auto Refresh Dir Cache if you with to  
refresh the directory cache periodically to reflect changes.  
Advanced Network Settings  
Meteor FTP can optionally be set to operate on a port other than  
21. To set another port, enter it in the Server Port box. Check the  
“Always use this port” check box to automatically default to  
your selected port whenever the server starts up. FTP servers  
normally operate on port 21. Only change this setting if you are  
sure you do not want to use the standard default port.  
Meteor FTP also supports host machines with multiple IP  
addresses. If you machine has more than 1 address, you’ll see  
multiple addresses displayed in the list on this dialog. Select the  
one you’d like you FTP server to use and select either the  
“Prompt on startup” or “Use as default” option. Note that if you  
change the IP address you’ll need to exit and restart Meteor FTP  
to use the newly selected IP address.
