Setting Downstream Test Signals

This feature provides configuration commands that allow you to create downstream test signals. Both
pseudo random bit stream (PRBS) and unmodulated carrier test signals are now supported.
A PRBS test signal is a random data pattern that has been modulated to look like a real data stream. An
unmodulated test signal is a continuous sine wave that looks like a carrier wave on the downstream
transmission.
See the following sections for the required tasks to create PRBS and unmodulated carrier test signals:

Description
Specifies the upstream port number.
Specifies that a percentage of frequency adjustment packets is
required to change the adjustment method from the regular power
adjustment method to the noise power-adjustment method.
Specifies the percentage of frequency-adjustment packets required to
switch from the regular power-adjustment method to the noise
power-adjustment method. Valid range is from 10 to 100 percent.
Purpose
Generates an unmodulated continuous wave signal on the
downstream channel. The interface is shut down.
Stops sending test signals.
Note Remember to reenable the interface to resume normal
operations.
