Status Monitoring 
Introduction 
This section provides information for status monitoring for video streams using the 
RF Gateway 1 web page. 
The RF Gateway 1 provides utilities for monitoring: 
 Input streams (i.e., stream type, status, IP, UDP, input bitrate) 
 Output streams (i.e., session ID, destination QAM channel)   
Monitoring 
To View Input Monitoring 
1 Navigate to the Monitor page. 
2 In the tree menu, select the Input/GbE port. 
Result: Input monitoring is shown for each GbE port.

To View Output Monitoring 
1 Navigate to the Monitor page. 
2 In the tree menu, select the Output/Card/RF Port. 
Result: Output monitoring is shown for each QAM Card. 
 
To View Input Details 
Additional input information (for the output stream) can be retrieved by clicking the 
Input/Details button on the output monitoring screen. 
Result: The following screen is displayed.

Provisioning 
This section provides information for provisioning the RF Gateway 1 for SDV 
operation. 
Prerequisite Configurations:  
 GbE input ports, including Video/Data IP address 
 QAM outputs 
 Channel Application Mode = SDV 
Once a carrier is in SVD mode, it should be used with an SRM (e.g., USRM, DNCS) 
and SDV Server configured with all the required video sessions.  
Channel Application Mode 
To Verify Channel Application Mode 
1 Navigate to the Maps page. 
2 In the tree menu, select Map Configuration. 
Result: Channel Application Mode is displayed for each output carrier. 
  
SRM Configuration 
To Provide SRM IP Address 
Depending on the RF Gateway 1 network configuration, it may not be necessary to 
enter SRM IP address information in the SRM Configuration window, for example 
USRM based SDV. Conversely, DNCS acting as SRM will require the SRM IP 
address to be populated with the DNCS IP address. 
1 Navigate to the System/System Configuration page.  
						

							 
 
 Provisioning 
 
78-4025112-01 Rev H0 101 
 
Result: SRM Configuration page is shown.  
 
2 Enter a valid SRM IP Address. 
3 Set the ‘GQI Announce Mode’ to Enabled, if the RFGW-1 must send the GQI 
Announce Messages to the SRM to indicate the events on the Video Plane.  
Legacy Mode 
Legacy mode is intended to make older DNCS software versions (greater than 4.5) to 
support the RFGW-1 by spoofing the DNCS into thinking the RFGW-1 is a GQAM. 
A DNCS crash is likely if the Legacy Mode is selected with new DNCS software 
versions earlier than 4.5. 
DO NOT SELECT LEGACY MODE IF THE DNCS IS RUNNING A SOFTWARE 
VERSION earlier than 4.5. 
  
QAM Channel Configuration 
To Provide Transport Stream ID and Verify Channel Application Mode 
1 Navigate to the QAMS/QAM Configuration page. 
2 Select the QAM Card/RF Port/Channel page.

Result: QAM Channel Configuration is displayed. 
 
3 Select SDV for Channel Application Mode. 
4 Enter a unique integer as the Transport Stream ID. 
5 Click Apply. 
6 Click Save.

Provisioning 
This section provides information for provisioning the RF Gateway 1 for Cisco 
Wideband operation. 
Prerequisite Configurations:  
 GbE input ports, including Video/Data IP address 
 QAM outputs 
 Channel Application Mode  
Channel Application Mode 
To Verify Channel Application Mode 
1 Navigate to the Maps page. 
2 In the tree menu, select Map Configuration. 
Result: Channel Application Mode is revealed for each output carrier.  
Note: The correct setting is Data. 
  
Data Map Configuration 
For a specific output carrier, using the Maps/Data Map web page, the operator can 
configure: 
 Input Stream Type 
 Allowable ingress port or port-pair 
 Input stream Destination UDP port
