Section 2
Overview
The Motorola OM 1000 creates a QPSK-modulated signal to carry the out-of-band (OOB)
datastream of a digital CATV system from the headend set-tops installed in subscribers’ homes.
The OOB datastream is the control link through which the headend transmits the commands
and authorization messages that control the set-tops distributed throughout the CATV system.
The headend can also use the OOB datastream to deliver other types of information, including:
Electronic program guide (EPG) information
Application code downloads
Control messages for emergency situations
Data services
Executable code downloads to fix or upgrade cable terminal operation
Other devices in the headend create the specific commands, messages, and downloadable code
that make up the information contained in the OOB datastream. The OM 1000 accepts this
information and processes it for delivery on the OOB channel by combining it into a Motion
Picture Expert Group-2 (MPEG-2) compliant transport multiplex and outputting that transport
multiplex as an RF signal. Other output formats are also available to support specific
application requirements.

2-2 Overview
Functional Overview
The primary function of the OM 1000 is to combine multiple OOB data inputs into a single
datastream that is transmitted over the OOB channel as an RF signal. The OM 1000 also
provides serial data communications to transmit and receive baseband digital data over various
serial data ports.
OOB Signal Processing

In converting the OOB data inputs into an RF signal, the OM 1000 performs the following OOB
signal processing functions:
Receives the cable terminal control stream and other OOB data from multiple input
sources.
Multiplexes the information into a single, packet-based, MPEG-2-compliant transport
stream.
Inserts Packet Identifier 0 (PID 0) and PID 1 control streams into the transport stream if
necessary.
Modulates the digital transport stream onto a 1.5 MHz-wide RF carrier using QPSK
modulation.
Upconverts the resulting signal into an RF output with a center frequency in the
71 through 129 MHz range. (An IF output is available for optional external upconversion to
other frequencies.)
Figure 2-2 shows the typical flow of OOB data from the input port(s) through the packet
multiplexer to the RF modulator:

Overview 2-3
Receiving OOB Data Inputs

The OM 1000 can receive OOB data through multiple input ports. All data ports are located on
the back panel and each has a unique numeric identifier. Table 2-1 describes the OM 1000 input
ports:
Table 2-1
OM 1000 input ports
Port Type Description

RS-232 DB9 A standard RS-232 serial data port (asynchronous only) receives EPG information,
serial data code download, and other OOB data types. In some systems, an RS-232 port is
configured to receive cable-terminal control-stream information instead of, or in
conjunction with, the Ethernet port.
Ethernet The standard Ethernet port is the primary input to the OM 1000. Because it is an
Ethernet connection, it supports communication with multiple devices over the same
physical port.
Generator port The MPEG message generator is a virtual input-only port that supplies MPEG
messages at periodic intervals to the output ports configured by the datapipe. The
control interface sets the insertion interval, availability status, and the message data.
RS-232 or RS-530 The optional RS-232 and/or RS-530 serial data ports are expansion ports. These
DB25 serial data ports are used in the same way as the RS-232 serial port and can be configured for
input or output operation. Refer to the operate.txt file in Appendix C, “Initialization
Information” for configuration information.
In general, OOB data input to the OM 1000 must be in MPEG-2 transport packets. Data sent to
configure, control, and boot the OM 1000 need not conform to MPEG-2 format.

2-4 Overview
Multiplexing the OOB Data

The packet multiplexer combines OOB data from the Ethernet and serial input ports into a
single MPEG-2-compliant transport multiplex, and then routes this multiplex to the RF
modulator. The multiplexer can also accept input data from special internal sources (for
example, PID 0 and PID 1 control data) if necessary.
CAUTION
The aggregate input rate of all data to be combined into the RF output must not exceed 2.005 Mbps. If the rate is lower
than 2.005 Mbps, the multiplexer will add null packets to achieve the correct data rate. If the aggregate input rate is
higher than 2.005 Mbps, the multiplexer will drop packets.
The main destination for most OOB data is the RF modulator; however, the multiplexer can
route data to other output destinations. Each input packet stream can be routed to up to three
different output destinations. Table 2-2 lists the available destinations:
Table 2-2
Multiplexer output destinations
Destination Description
RF modulator The RF modulator uses QPSK modulation to convert an MPEG-2-compliant transport
multiplex into a 1.5 MHz-wide RF signal with a center frequency from
71 through 129 MHz. Data directed to this destination is output from the RF OUT and
IF OUT connectors on the OM 1000 back panel.
Serial data ports Data directed to a serial data port is output as a serial datastream. The serial data
ports are valid destinations only when configured as output or bi-directional ports.
User Datagram Data directed to a UDP port is output as a serial datastream. The UDP connections
Protocol (UDP) are valid destinations only when configured as output ports. A legal UDP port number
connections over must be assigned to each connection, and the IP address of the receiving device must
the Ethernet port be configured.
Null port The null port is a conceptual destination equivalent to routing a packet to nowhere
(that is, discarding the packet).
Because of the number of possible input sources and output destinations, the OM 1000 relies on
a collection of data-handling specifications called PID maps to support the proper multiplexing
and routing of data through the packet multiplexer. One set of PID maps is defined for each
input port to control how the multiplexer handles packets from those streams. Within the set
for a port, a single PID map controls the handling of one packet stream, and each set includes a
default PID map to control the handling of packet streams having no explicit PID mapping.
The multiplexer uses a queuing scheme to transfer packets from input ports to output buffers.
Each destination has a dedicated queue composed of multiple data buffers set up to handle
packets from particular input packet streams. As an input packet enters a given input port, the
packet multiplexer reads the stream PID map and transfers the packet to the correct output
destination queue. To generate the output multiplex for a given destination, the multiplexer
extracts packets from the destination queue by taking one packet from each buffer in a
round-robin fashion.

Overview 2-5
Figure 2-3 illustrates how the packet multiplexer uses a destination queue to create an output
multiplex:
Figure 2-3
Creating an output multiplex
RF modulator
queue
Input stream A
A A A
Input stream B Output multiplex

B B B B A C B A
Input stream C
C C
In this example, the multiplexer routes three different input packet streams labeled A, B, and C
to the RF modulator for output. As a packet from stream A enters the queue, the multiplexer
transfers it to its associated buffer in the RF modulator destination queue. The multiplexer
handles packets from streams B and C in the same way.
The multiplexer then builds the output multiplex for the RF modulator by extracting packets
from each buffer in the RF modulator queue in sequence (that is, one packet from the A buffer,
one from the B buffer, and so on).
The input devices that supply the data control the PID numbers assigned to incoming packet
streams. As a result, it is possible that packet streams received from two different devices use
the same PID number. To avoid collision of these packets when multiplexed for output, the
OM 1000 re-assigns the PID numbers of streams routed to the same destination. PID numbers
can be re-assigned to any value or left unchanged, as necessary, to guarantee PID uniqueness in
the output. PID number re-assignment for a packet stream is defined in the PID map for that
stream.
Inserting PID 0 and PID 1 Control Streams

Depending on your system configuration, the Digital Consumer Terminal (DCT) control-stream
input to the OM 1000 can include the PID 0 and PID 1 control streams required to define the
OOB transport multiplex. If not, these streams are added to the multiplex before it is input to
the RF modulator.
The internal MPEG message stores the PID 0 and PID 1 control streams received from the
DAC 6000 and inserts packets containing messages from these streams into the multiplexer at
defined intervals. The messages are input to the internal MPEG message generator through the
Ethernet and they include data to PID 0 and PID 1 packets, as well as commands specifying
how often the generator should insert the packets into the multiplexer.

2-6 Overview
Generating the RF Output

The RF modulator receives the OOB data transport multiplex created by the packet multiplexer
and performs the following functions to convert it for RF transmission:
Forward error correction An FEC encoder performs Reed/Solomon encoding, data interleaving, and data
(FEC) encoding randomization to reduce transmission errors.
QPSK modulation A QPSK modulator converts the digital information in the OOB transport
multiplex into a synthesized analog waveform. The waveform is a 1.5 MHz-wide
signal with a carrier frequency centered at 44 MHz (IF).
Frequency upconversion A frequency-agile converter processes the QPSK-modulated 44 MHz IF signal
to an RF output frequency configurable from 71 through 129 MHz.
Figure 2-4 shows a block diagram of the RF modulator:

Generating Serial Data Outputs

Depending on the routing, multiplexing, and PID re-assignment definitions contained in the
PID maps, the packet multiplexer directs input packets to serial data port destination queues
and multiplexes them into output datastreams in the same way it routes and multiplexes data
for the RF modulator.
Serial data ports must be configured as output ports to be valid output destinations.

modulator is not set up in the INTFC menu and enabled in the PORT menu.
When the above sequence is observed, the unit can be configured. Refer to Section 4, “Setup and
Operation” for information on preparing the unit for operation. If the above conditions do not
occur, refer to Section 5, “Troubleshooting.”

Section 4
Setup and Operation
At power-up, the OM 1000 operating parameters are set either by data stored internally in flash
memory or by data downloaded from a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server on the headend LAN.
The method used depends on your system configuration.
After you set the initial operating parameters, you can modify the configuration by:
Entering new parameter settings at the OM 1000 front panel
Forcing a reboot to download a new configuration from the BOOTP server
Sending commands from a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network
manager
This section provides information to help you configure the OM 1000 from the front-panel
controls. For information on downloading data from a BOOTP server, refer to Appendix C,
“Initialization Information.”
Using the Front-Panel Interface

The OM 1000 front-panel interface includes an LCD and a set of cursor control keys that enable
you to set and change operating parameters. The LCD provides a series of menus showing
specific OM 1000 parameter settings. The menus provide:
Display-only information that you cannot select or change
Parameter settings that you can select and modify
Navigational aids that enable access to other menus
Figure 4-1 illustrates a typical display. The menu name, OAM&P, is display-only; the SUBNET
and IP options are changeable parameters.
Figure 4-1
Sample OM 1000 configuration menu
To branch to other menus, use the UP and MORE (not shown) options as navigation aids.
In general, changeable parameters are preceded by a greater than symbol (>). Scroll lists and
directly editable fields display available options. Navigate from option to option on a menu using
the left ( ) and right ( ) arrow keys on the cursor-control keypad. To select an option, press
ENT. Use the up ( ) and down ( ) arrow keys to scroll through the selections and then press
ENT to enable the option.
CAUTION!
Any changes you make to operate parameters apply only to the current OM 1000 operating cycle and will be lost
when you power down the unit. To save changes to flash memory as default settings at subsequent power ups, select
SAVE from the ADMIN menu and then press ENT. At OK, press ENT to confirm.

REBOOT configuration file is not deleted during this process. The OM 1000 will download new
software files from the BOOTP server if the OM 1000 is connected to your LAN.
CAUTION!
Do not use the PURGE AND REBOOT option unless the OM 1000 is connected to a BOOTP server on your LAN; the
OM 1000 will not download new application image files and will not be rebooted if it is not connected to a BOOTP server.
Using the PURGE AND REBOOT option when not connected to a valid BOOTP server will result in a nonoperating
OM 1000.

ADMIN Menu⎯Saving and Implementing Changes

When you change a configuration parameter through the front-panel operator interface, the
change is not implemented until it is saved and the OM 1000 is rebooted. Use the following
method to save your configuration changes:
1 Select ADMIN on the MAIN menu (Figure 4-2), and then press ENT to display the
Administrative menu.
2 Select SAVE on the Administrative menu (Figure 4-3), and then press ENT.
3 Press . When the unit displays OK, press ENT to store the changes to flash memory.
CAUTION!
If the BOOTP server is on the local network, any configuration changes made from the front panel are overwritten by
the default parameters in the dynamic configuration file after a reboot or a power cycle if the configuration file is forced
to be downloaded from the BOOTP server.
ADMIN Menu⎯Rebooting the OM 1000

Use the following procedure to reboot your OM 1000:
1 Select ADMIN on the MAIN menu (Figure 4-2) and then press ENT to display the
2 Select REBOOT on the Administrative menu (Figure 4-3), and then press ENT.
3 Press . When the unit displays OK, press ENT to reboot the OM 1000.
The boot process has three phases:
Power-on self-test
Mini-boot
Application load and execute
The power-on self-test is an internal RAM test and executes only during a power-on cold boot.
The OM 1000 will not perform this test during a reboot from the front panel.
The OM 1000 initializes boot file systems during the mini-boot phase. The boot program copies
the initialization files from flash memory to a RAM disk. After the boot program stores the
initialization files on the RAM disk, the unit broadcasts BOOTP requests over the Ethernet for
up to 10 seconds.
If the OM 1000 receives a response from the server, a new boot file transfers to the OM 1000
through the Ethernet. The information in the BOOTP response includes the unit IP address and
subnet mask, the IP address of the host server, and the full path name of the boot file. The
OM 1000 compares the filenames in the boot file to the files stored in internal memory. If a
filename is different than the internally stored data, the unit replaces the stored boot file with
the boot file from the server. If a response is not received, operation and configuration data
stored in internal memory controls the OM 1000 until a power-down or until the configurations
are changed at the front panel.

ADMIN Menu⎯Purging the OM 1000 Software

Use the following procedure to purge the OM 1000 software and reboot the unit:
1 Select ADMIN on the MAIN menu (Figure 4-2) and then press ENT to display the
2 Select PURGE AND REBOOT on the OM 1000 Administrative menu (Figure 4-3), and
then press ENT.
3 Press . When the unit displays OK, press ENT to execute the purge operation of the
OM 1000 (the OM 1000 will reboot as a result of this operation).
This command is used to ensure that current software files are deleted before reloading the
OM 1000 with new software. The OM 1000 software consists of multiple files; since future
revisions of the OM 1000 software may not use all current files, this command ensures there
is enough space in flash memory to load a new version of the software.
This operation does not delete the configuration settings in flash memory.
CAUTION!
If the BOOTP server is NOT on the local network, the OM 1000 will not be reloaded with software and will not be
rebooted. Erasing OM 1000 software should only be done when a new version of OM 1000 software is to be loaded
onto the OM 1000.

generation and transmission of a CW carrier.
In general, the test modes are reserved for factory testing; however, some
are useful for troubleshooting specific equipment faults. Refer to Section 5,
"Troubleshooting," for more information on modulator test modes.

Spectrum Analyzer Procedure⎯Setting the Modulator Output Signal Level in Operate Mode
When combining the RF modulator output signal with other headend signals that use analog
carriers, you must set the modulator output signal level to approximately 15 dBmV below the
level of the analog carriers.
Set the RF-modulator output-signal level by incrementing or decrementing the signal-level
parameter from 0 through 40. This range corresponds to an actual output level ranging from
+30 through +50 dBmV. The default level setting is 35, approximately 45 dBmV.
To set the RF-modulator output-signal level with the modulator in OPERATE mode:
1 Measure and record the signal level of the analog carriers by observing the level of the
carriers during sync tip. During sync tip, the full power of the signal is concentrated in the
carrier.
2 Connect the RF OUT of the OM 1000 to a spectrum analyzer configured as follows:
Configuration Setting Comments
Resolution bandwidth 300 kHz The bandwidth of the RF-modulator output signal is about
1.5 MHz, which is wider than the maximum resolution
bandwidth of most spectrum analyzers. For spectrum
analyzers that do support a higher-resolution bandwidth,
adjacent channel signals can interfere with measurement of a
1.5 MHz bandwidth signal.
A 300 kHz resolution bandwidth measures a portion of the
output signal total bandwidth.
Video averaging ON Because the modulator-output signal is QPSK modulated, the
signal level changes constantly over time, resulting in a
noise-like signal. Video averaging smoothes out the variations
in the signal to provide an average signal level.
Alternatively, you can observe the signal-power average by
reading the level that corresponds to the center or average of
the noise line rather than its peak.
3 Measure the power of the modulator-output signal.

4 Observe the measured signal power and apply the appropriate correction factors from
Table 4-7 to obtain the true signal power:
Table 4-7
Correction factors for modulator output power measured in OPERATE mode
Criteria Correction Comments

Factor
300 kHz resolution 4 dB Because the RF-modulator output is a QPSK-modulated
bandwidth waveform, its signal power is spread throughout the entire signal
bandwidth. The power measured in a 300 kHz portion of the
signal represents only a portion of the true power. At 300 kHz
resolution bandwidth, a correction factor of 4 dB is required for
compensation.
Spectrum analyzer with 4 dB Because different spectrum-analyzers detectors respond
sampled or differently to noise-like signals, the measured signal power can
average-responding vary. Sampled or averaged-responding detectors indicate a
detector lower power level than peak detectors. A correction factor of
4 dB is required to compensate for the difference in
measurement when using a sampled or average-responding
detector.
5 Adjust the RF-modulator output level relative to the analog-carrier level as necessary by
incrementing or decrementing the signal-level value on the modulator setup menu.
Spectrum Analyzer Procedure⎯Setting the Modulator Output Signal Level in 2T Test Mode
In the 2T TEST mode, the RF modulator generates two test tones, one 1.024 MHz higher and one
1.024 MHz lower than the specified RF-modulator output frequency. These tones are CW
carriers whose signal level is equal to the level of the QPSK-modulated signal normally output
in OPERATE mode. By adjusting the signal level of these tones, you can accurately set the
RF-modulator output signal.
To set the RF-modulator output-signal level with the modulator in 2T Test mode:
1 Measure and record the analog-carriers signal level by observing the level of the carriers
during sync tip. During sync tip, the full signal power is concentrated in the carrier.
2 Connect the RF OUT of the OM 1000 to a spectrum analyzer and measure the power of the
modulator-output signal using a 300 kHz resolution bandwidth. Because this test mode
generates CW carriers, no correction factor need be applied to the measured power level.
3 Adjust the output level of the tone signal to approximately 15 dBmV below the
analog-carriers level. Change the signal level by incrementing or decrementing the signal
level value on the INTFC 6 (modulator setup) menu ranging from 0 through 40. This range
corresponds to an actual output-level range from +30 through +50 dBmV. The default level
setting is 35, approximately 45 dBmV.
4 Reset the RF-modulator mode to OPERATE enabling normal operation after you adjust the
output level of the tone signals.
5 Select UP to display the MAIN menu if this is your final setup step.

INTFC 7 Menu⎯Viewing the Internal MPEG Message Generator Port

The internal MPEG message generator port is configured according to the values found in the
OM1000.ini file. The default values are set to PORT 3, PID 1503H to match the DAC 6000
datastream. You can modify these values by editing and downloading the OM1000.ini file.
Refer to Appendix C, “Initialization Information” for more information on this file.
Figure 4-9 provides a diagram summarizing the factory configuration. Default settings are
shown in bold. Detailed procedures for viewing these settings follow the diagram:

Setting Up PID Maps

You must set the routing for the PID map default entry and set the PID re-assignment and
packet routing for each individual PID to be remapped or reassigned.
CAUTION
When setting up the PID maps for the GEN port, ensure that the input PID values are different. For the internal
generator, the buffer used to store PID values is static and is used repetitively. If a mapped value enters the GEN port
that matches an existing PID value, the value is overwritten, which forces the default entry to take effect and nullifies
the mapped value.
Refer to Setting PID Maps to set up PID mapping for the internal generator port.

PORT Menu⎯Setting Up Logical Ports

The OM 1000 supports up to 16 logical ports, designated as 1 through 16.
To set up a logical port:
Select the logical port number to configure.
Select the physical interface associated with the logical port.
Select the port type: input or output. For input ports, a PID map must also be defined (refer
to the Setting PID Maps section for details on setting up an input port PID map).
For Ethernet input ports, a unique source UDP port must be defined. Each Ethernet UDP
port defined will receive singlecast or broadcast data. If the UDP port is to receive multicast
data, then up to five multicast IP host addresses can be defined for each UDP port. Refer to
the Setting Receive Multicast IP Addresses section for more details.
For Ethernet output ports, a destination IP address and port must also be defined. The IP
address can be a singlecast address, broadcast address, or a multicast address.
PORT Menu⎯Setting PID Maps (Input Ports Only)

When a logical port is configured as an input, it has an associated PID map to control how the
packet multiplexer processes input datastreams received by the port. Output ports do not have
PID maps. Each PID map specifies processing for an individual input PID stream.
A PID map has 28 available slots with five entries for each slot, as shown in Table 4-9:
Table 4-9
Example of PID table
Slot PID IN PID OUT Destination Port 1 Destination Port 2 Destination Port 3
1 X X 0 0 0
2 6 3 1 0 0
3 FFFFH FFFFH 0 0 0
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
28 FFFFH FFFFH 0 0 0
The first slot represents the default value. The PID table determines the routing of incoming
PIDs to destination ports 1, 2, and 3. You can designate as many as three destination ports
simultaneously.
Slot 1 is the default slot. Any PID not remapped in slots 2 through 28 uses the port routing
setup of slot 1. For slots 2 through 28, you can remap an input PID (PID-IN) as a different
output PID (PID-OUT). In the example, slot 2 is remapping PID 6 to become PID 3, with the
remapped PID 3 sent to a single destination port, logical port 1. All other PID inputs use the
default slot 1 setup. In this case, all input PIDs, other than PID 6, are sent to logical port 0 (the
bit bucket).

Tracking Dropped Packets

OM 1000 version 3.4.0 and later tracks the number of dropped packets for the Datapipe input
and the RF output ports. The data collected is then used to send out SNMP traps based on
user-defined values. The OM 1000 sends a major alarm when it has detected an overloaded
condition resulting in dropped packets for a period of time. The OM 1000 is considered to be in
this overloaded condition if it drops x packets per minute for at least y consecutive minutes. For
example, if x = 10 and y = 5, then the OM 1000 would have to drop 50 packets over a five-minute
time frame to create an alarm condition. The OM 1000 calculates the number of drops
approximately once every minute. The default x value is 10 and the default y value is five. The
OM 1000 clears the major alarm condition if no more than z number of packets are dropped due
to an overload condition for at least y minutes. The default z value is zero. For example, if the
OM 1000 is configured with default values, it would have to NOT drop any packets for five
straight minutes to clear the major alarm condition.
The OM 1000 also tracks the total drops counting from the last reboot. This value can be
retrieved through SNMP or by saving the config.ini at the front panel and then viewing it
from the console port. The total drops can be cleared by SNMP or by rebooting the OM 1000.
The OM 1000 provides a high-water count of the related queue, which is the maximum number
of packets that were in the queue since the last reboot. The high-water count is accessible
through SNMP or by saving the config.ini at the front panel and then viewing it from the
console port. The high-water count can be cleared by SNMP or by rebooting the OM 1000.
The OM 1000 will not start sending traps for these conditions until after the eleventh minute of
operation after boot-up.
Example config.ini:
[Packet Stats Monitor]
PacketStatsTable =
#Group 1
2 1 0 0 10 5 0
#Group 2
3 2 0 0 10 5 0

Under Group 1:
Column 1 is the interface type:
1 = Unconfigured
2 = Datapipe
3 = RF modulator
Column 2 indicates input/output:
1 = Input
2 = Output
Column 3 is the number of dropped packets since the last reboot.
Column 4 is the high-water mark value.
Column 5 is the x value referenced above.
Column 6 is the y value referenced above.
Column 7 is the z value referenced above.
Tracking Discontinuous Packets (PID Basis)

The OM 1000 version 3.5.0 and later tracks the number of times MPEG messages are received
out of order for a particular PID number based on the continuity count included in the MPEG
message header. The number of occurrences where the continuity count is not contiguous is
used as a trigger to send out SNMP traps based on user-defined thresholds. The OM 1000 sends
a major alarm when it has detected that the user defined threshold for such occurrences has
been exceeded. The threshold is considered exceeded if x number of occurrences takes place per
minute for y consecutive minutes. The default x value is 10 and the default y value is 5. The
OM 1000 clears the major alarm condition if no more than z occurrences are recorded for at
least y minutes. The default z value is zero.
Example config.ini:
[Continuity Count Threshold]
MissedContCountThreshold=10;
#
[Continuity Count Reset Threshold]
MissedContCountResetThreshold=0;
#
[Continuity Count Time Period]
ContCountTimePeriod=5;
MissedContCountThreshold is the x value referenced above.
MissedContCountResetThreshold is the y value referenced above.
ContCountTimePeriod is the z value referenced above.
Tracking Discontinuous Packets (Overall PID Count)

The OM 1000 also tracks the total number of occurrences of the continuity count not being
contiguous from the last reset. This value can be retrieved through SNMP. This value can be
cleared through SNMP or by rebooting the OM 1000.

Testing the RF Modulator

The modulator port has several test modes that can be set through the front panel. Refer to
Section 4, "Setup and Operation." Although these test modes are mainly intended for factory

Troubleshooting 5-3
testing, they can be useful in isolating specific faults. Table 5-3 summarizes the modulator port
test modes.
Table 5-3
Modulator port testing modes
Mode Description
CW test The RF modulator generates a single CW signal. The signal frequency is exactly the same as
the center frequency of the QPSK-modulated signal. The signal level is equal to the
composite level of the QPSK signal. This mode is useful for rough level setting and for exact
frequency measurements.
2T test The RF modulator generates two tones 1.024 MHz above and below the carrier frequency.
The level of each tone is 1 dB below the level of the modulated QPSK signal. The composite
RMS level of both tones together is 2 dB above the level of the QPSK modulator signal. This
mode is useful for setting levels using a spectrum analyzer with a 30 to 300 kHz resolution
bandwidth to resolve the two tones. If the level of each tone is set to the desired
QPSK-operating level, the actual QPSK operating level is 1 dB higher, providing 1 dB of extra
margin to the link.
CON test The RF modulator operates the same as in the Operate mode, except that the digital FIR
filter coefficients are changed. In the Operate mode, the FIR filter frequency-response shape
is rectangular. In the CON Test mode, the FIR filter frequency-response shape is a raised
cosine with an alpha value equal to 0.5. This mode is useful for testing using a constellation
or vector analyzer.

The OM 1000 can either source or sink the transmit clock; this is determined by a configuration
selection. Sinking the clock is needed when sending data through a modem through a network
T1 line. In this case, the modem sources a clock that is locked to the network. The OM 1000
sinks the clock and sources data to the modem to be sent to the network.

Initialization Information
On power-up or reset, the OM 1000 undergoes an automatic initialization process during which
it loads the executable software and parameter settings that control its operation. Depending on
the headend network configuration, the OM 1000 performs initialization either by self-booting
from internal flash memory or by downloading information from an external BOOTP server.
Initializing the OM 1000 using the self-boot option enables you to operate the OM 1000:
Without connecting it to the headend LAN
In a headend LAN that does not include a BOOTP server
Initializing the OM 1000 using the download option enables you to:
Modify the setup of an installed OM 1000 to accommodate changes in the digital headend
configuration
Load upgraded executable software into an installed OM 1000
Self-Boot Option
The OM 1000 begins initialization by broadcasting a BOOTP request over its Ethernet port.
When initializing with the self-boot option, the OM 1000 times out waiting for a reply and then
initializes itself from the information stored in its flash memory.
Download Option
To initialize the OM 1000 using the download option:
The OM 1000 must be connected to the headend Ethernet LAN
A BOOTP server must be present in the LAN
The BOOTP server must know the OM 1000 MAC address
The OM 1000 begins initialization by broadcasting a BOOTP request over its Ethernet port. The
BOOTP server receives the OM 1000 BOOTP request and provides a reply from which the
OM 1000 initializes itself.

C-2 Initialization Information
BOOTP Request and Reply Format

BOOTP request and reply messages use the same packet format. The BOOTP packet includes
multiple fields divided into the following areas:
Standard Area Contains fields for specifying basic BOOTP message information, including:
Message type (request or reply)
MAC address of requesting device
IP address assignment of requesting device
Boot file name for the requesting device
Values in some standard fields that must be specified and others that are optional,
depending on whether the BOOTP message is a request or reply
Vendor-Specific Contains fields for use as defined by the vendor, for example: to set values for
Area operating parameters
BOOTP packet format is defined in detail in the following specifications:

RFC 1542, “Clarifications and Extensions for the Bootstrap Protocol,” by W. Wimer
(October 1993)
RFC 2132, “DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions,” by S. Alexander and R. Droms
(March 1997)
Refer to these specifications for complete information on the BOOTP packet format and field
descriptions. A general discussion of the BOOTP reply and request is provided in the following
subsections.
BOOTP Request
In the BOOTP request, the OM 1000 includes:
A value indicating that the message is a BOOTP request
The OM 1000 Ethernet MAC address
The BOOTP request is transferred using User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
BOOTP Server Reply

In the BOOTP reply to the OM 1000, the BOOTP server includes:
A value indicating that the message is a BOOTP reply
The IP address of the boot server
The IP address assigned to the OM 1000 Ethernet port
The file-of-files (FOF) name for the OM 1000
The path for the FOF
The network mask
The BOOTP reply is transferred using UDP.

Initialization Information C-3
On receipt of the BOOTP reply, the OM 1000 obtains the FOF filename and path and then
downloads it from the BOOTP server. The OM 1000 then parses the FOF and compares the
listed source files with those maintained in the OM 1000 local copy of the previously used FOF.
If any listed source filename or path has changed, or if there is a force download flag for any
listed files (an “F” at the end of the line listing the file), the listed file is then downloaded to the
OM 1000. If the downloaded FOF and the OM 1000 local copy are the same and a force
download flag does not exist in the FOF, the OM 1000 does not download any additional files. It
continues booting using the values stored in flash memory.
The FOF and other downloaded files are transferred through Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP).
Initialization is complete when the OM 1000 has finished loading the executable software and
operating parameters, either from a new download or from memory.
CAUTION!
The BOOTP request, BOOTP reply, and FOF transfer all use UDP, which does not include error checking. During the
download process, undetected transmission errors can cause initialization failure. Always retry the initialization at least
once before searching for a specific fault.
Boot File (FOF) Format

The FOF lists the names of the following types of files containing configuration information for
the OM 1000:
Code file Contains executable software
Configuration Contains various files including SNMP, OM1000.ini, MSFS, Tasks, Hosts, Services, and
Files Gateways
The FOF filename must have an eight-character base and a three-character file extension, and
all characters must be lower-case.
In the FOF all lines must be either comment or data lines and each line must be terminated
with a carriage return or a carriage return + line feed. Comment lines begin with a # character
in the first position. Data lines define the names of code, symbol table, or configuration files
using two fields separated by any number of spaces or tabs:
First field Identifies the file by its absolute filename as stored on the server
Second field Identifies the file by its symbolic name as used by the OM 1000
Third field Used for symbol flags that control the download of the associated file

CAUTION!
Do not change the second field, which is the symbolic name used by the OM 1000. Changing the name can cause an
initialization failure.

#
# DESCRIPTION:
# File-of-Files template for factory use.
#
# NOTES:
# This file is read by the OM during the BOOTP process. The OM maintains
# a local copy of this file for comparison with the BOOTP'd file during
# initialization.
#
# The file systems may be case sensitive. The unit file names and paths
# shown below should be in lower case.
#
# The ".fcf" file listed below is for factory configuration ONLY.
# Downloading this file to an OM 1000 other than the one for which the file
# was customized MAY CAUSE THE OM 1000 TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. The ".fcf"
# file entry below should be commented out or removed entirely, except when
# it is desired to download the file during initial OM 1000 configuration.
#
# The om1000.svc, om1000.gtw, om1000.hst, and om1000.ini release files
# are templates that may require setup for a particular installation.
# Although default settings are provided, these files are site specific
# and usually require reconfiguration during headend installation. Refer
# to the installation procedures for further information.
#
# An "F" flag at the end of a line denotes a forced download of the file
# indicated on that line. Without the "F" flag the OM 1000 will first
# check to see if the boot server file path and name already exists on the
# OM 1000. If so, the file will NOT download the file from the BOOTP
# server. An "F" flag is not needed during initial configuration because
# the unit has no files and therefore will download all files.

The Service Name File

The service name file is a table that maps OM 1000 Logical Port numbers to ASCII names
associated with those ports. This information is used by the DAC 6000 to determine what
services are connected to the OM 1000 logical ports (ports 1 through 16). During initialization,
the OM 1000 reads this file. The OM 1000 uses a local copy of this file unless it cannot find it or
is forced to download it from the boot server through a "force" command in the associated FOF.

Definitions of Terms
10Base-T
The IEEE standard for twisted pair Ethernet. Uses telephone wiring and standard RJ-45
connectors. It is wired in a star configuration and requires a hub.
BOOTP
Boot protocol. The communication protocol used to transfer initialization information between
digital headend network elements and a central server. At power up, network elements issue a
BOOTP request. The BOOTP server receives the request and responds with a BOOTP reply
that specifies startup information and operating parameters for the requesting device.
BOOTP Reply
Single-packet, multi-field boot protocol message transmitted in UDP by a BOOTP server to
provide a boot image to a network device (BOOTP client).
BOOTP Request
Single-packet, multi-field boot protocol message transmitted in UDP by a network device
(BOOTP client) to request a boot from a BOOTP server.
Conditional Access Table (CAT)
A table carried in the PID1 stream of a transport multiplex that lists the PID numbers of all
EMM streams in a transport multiplex and indexes each EMM stream to an EMM provider ID.
DAC 6000
Motorola Digital Addressable Controller 6000 used for controlling digital cable terminals and
digital wireless terminals. The name was changed from ACC 4000D in late 1997.
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
An encoding technique applied to data before transmission to reduce the number of errors
introduced by transmission. The receiving device decodes the FEC to recover the original data.
Data is formatted with extra error detection and correction bits at the sending end of a
transmission. The received bits are used to detect and correct transmission errors.
Headend Configuration Tool (HCT 1000)
A Motorola PC-based tool for provisioning network devices in a digital CATV headend or
broadband interactive network. The HCT 1000 helps set up embedded code images, assign IP
addresses to network devices, and set up start-up parameters.
Initialization
The process by which digital headend network elements obtain configuration information and
operating parameters at power up. This confirms that all indicators and constants are set to
prescribed conditions. Data is loaded into a new set-top to customize its operation for use by a
customer in a particular cable system. Typically, during this process the controller sends reset
and initialize commands along with configuration and terminal control bytes.
Integrated Receiver Transcoder (IRT 1000, IRT 2000)
Motorola digital headend equipment that receives digital satellite signals and remodulates data
from QPSK to QAM IF for cable plant transmission.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
This public standard address is used for packet- and connection-type communications.

Glossary-4
IPPV
Impulse Pay-Per-view. An ordering mechanism in which subscribers place orders directly into
set-tops by remote control. Events are authorized immediately for viewing.
MAC address
Media Access Control address. A proprietary address used for upstream/downstream
communications. This is the lower sub-layer of the Data Link layer in the OSI model and is
used to describe the mechanisms used to arbitrate access to a shared medium.
MPEG-2 (MPEG-II)
An international standard (ISO/IEC 13818) for delivering compressed digital video. MPEG-2
broadcast quality is 704x480 pixels at 30 frames per second (fps) in North America and 704x576
pixels at 25 fps in Europe. MPEG-2 is typically compressed at higher than 5 Mbs and intended
for higher quality broadcast uses.
OAM&P
A telephone industry acronym referring to operations, administration, maintenance, and
provisioning. The term refers to software required to generate the reports and commands
needed to control all network equipment. The OAM&P port is a network (Ethernet) port
through which a device communicates with the headend network. The OAM&P port is assigned
a hardware (MAC) address at the factory; this MAC address is used for communication with the
bootp server before the network (IP) address is assigned to the port.
Packet Identifier (PID)
A number assigned to MPEG transport packets to identify the information stream to which they
belong. The PID number is assigned in the packet header, and all packets from the same stream
have the same PID number. A 13 bit number included in MPEG-2 transport packet headers.
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)
A digital modulation method that combines two carriers that are 90 degrees out of phase (in
quadrature), resulting in four possible phase states.
Reed-Solomon encoder
A block-based encoding technique used for forward error correction.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
