Circuit Quality (Cq) - Paradyne COMSPHERE 6800 Series Command Reference Manual

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

Circuit Quality (cq)

Use the cq command to display an estimate of nondisruptive performance measurements for a
COMSPHERE device. The device constantly measures a number of signal quality parameters and
data transmission characteristics without disrupting the primary data flow.
You can use the cq command to help determine the proper threshold values by displaying the
signal quality parameters during periods of acceptable and unacceptable circuit conditions. Refer
to the appropriate device manual for more information on the description and ranges of the signal
quality parameters.
For 3400/4400 Series modems, many of the signal quality performance parameters measured with
this command can also be set as a user-defined threshold with the Change Thresholds (cht)
command.
For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and
schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for
results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description
of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.
