After a channel plan, and limit plan (See Help section on CONFIGURE
MEASURE - LIMIT SETS, for more information about limit sets.) has been
selected, press the START softkey and the CABLE MODEM AutoTest
sequentially measures the signal performance of all assigned channels
in the CABLE MODEM AutoTest configuration.
On the CABLE MODEM - AUTOTEST IN PROGRESS screen, a horizontal progress
bar shows how much of the test is complete. The current channel being
tested is indicated directly below this bar. (NOTE: The Help System
on this meter is disabled during all tests while they are in progress.)
The Pass/Fail status of each channel is updated on the screen as the test
proceeds. (NOTE: No Pass/Fail information is displayed when the
selected limit set is "off.")
To stop the AutoTest process at any time, press the STOP softkey.
A confirmation dialog box then appears with options of canceling or continuing
the process.
Upon test completion, the DOCSIS AUTOTEST results screen displays an overall
Pass/Fail result and the Pass/Fail result of each channel tested.
