Protocol analyser tests 16 x 4 configuration
Averna’s new software release for the DP-360 DOCSIS Protocol Analyser, features support for 16x4 channel bonding. Multiple system operators (MSOs), chipset manufacturers, product developers and certification bodies use the analyser to quickly find and correct trouble spots.
The analyser now supports up to 16 single or bonded downstream channels for testing 16x4 configuration and features upstream gain control, MER reading and power reading available in the remote API for automated power adjustment.
It also offers automatic detection of modulation type (64-QAM or 256-QAM) and DOCSIS on downstream channels and lock on 4 upstream frequencies for faster setup and analysis and support for DOCSIS 3.0 Energy Management messages (EM-REQ & EM-RSP).
Users also have access to Averna’s new DOCSIS 3.1 Early Adopter Program, which offers MSOs and equipment vendors a smooth and cost-effective transition to the company’s next-generation solution for testing their cable equipment based on the new DOCSIS 3.1 standard.
