debug cable mac-protocol Command Field Descriptions
Field Description
SID value is....
Reports the service ID of the modem. The range is from 1 through
8191. The information on this line should agree with the first line of
the return (that is, Ranging Modem with Sid...).
CM mac address....
The MAC address of the specified CM.
Timing offset is....
The time by which to offset the frame transmission upstream so that
the frame arrives at the expected minislot time at the CMTS.
Power value is FE0, or 0 dB
The raw value derived from the Broadcom chip. Alternately, the dB
value specifies the relative change in the transmission power level
that the CM needs to make so that transmissions arrive at the CMTS
at the desired power level.
Freq Error = ....
The raw value derived from the Broadcom chip.
Freq offset is ....
Specifies the relative change in the transmission frequency that the
CM will make to match the CMTS.
