Configuring Alarm Settings 
This new page is accessible from the System tab, and appears as shown in the 
following example: 
 
  
Alarm Details 
 Alarm Name – Name of the Alarm for which the row settings apply.  
 Enable – Enables the Alarm notification for a particular alarm type; this will 
enable the log by default.  
 Log Enable – Enables the log for particular alarm; editable only when the Alarm

is disabled.  
 Severity – Enables the user to set the severity of alarms (Minor, Major, Critical, 
Warning).  
 Set Threshold/Clear Threshold/Units – Helps to generate or clear alarms based 
on threshold values specified for some alarms.  
This page also contains three additional settings: 
 Apply - Sets any changes made in the Alarm Configuration page (either 
Enable/Severity/Threshold). 
 Reset - Cancels any changes made in the Alarm Configuration page but not yet 
applied. 
 Defaults - Returns any applied changes in the Alarm Configuration page to their 
default values. 
 Users are not permitted to edit certain critical alarm settings. Examples include 
hardware alarms such as Pwr Up Test, Fan, and so on. In these cases, the 
corresponding fields on the page are dimmed.

Introduction  
Variable Fan Speed is based on the temperature. Currently, the fan 
runs at full speed (setting is 255) irrespective of temperature.  When 
this feature is enabled, the fan speed changes based on the measured 
temperature.

GUI Feature Option 
GUI option Smart Fan Control is added on the System page of the RFGW-1. 
It has two options: 
 Enabled: The Fan speed changes based on the measured temperatures. 
 Disabled: The Fan always runs at FULL Speed. 
Note: This feature is DISABLED by default. 
 
  
						

							 
 
 Feature Design Details

Feature Design Details 
When Smart Fan Control changes to Enable there will be a 30 second delay before 
changing the FAN Speed to avoid any FAN related alarms. 
Disabling the Smart Fan Control will make all fans operate at full speed 
immediately. 
This feature flag is unit specific and will not be carried forward to other units when 
using the backup configuration file. 
Based on the temperature, the fan control settings will vary from 150175255. 
GUI logs indicate these changes. 
Fan Control Settings Highest Temperature (in Centigrade) 
150 < 65 
175 > = 65 and < 74 
255 > = 74 
During RFGW-1 boot up, the fan will run at full speed (setting 255) for at least 5 
minutes. This allows the boot process to be complete and the RFGW-1 to be 
configured completely. 
Temperature readings are taken every 10 seconds from various measuring points. 
Out of these readings, the highest temperature will be recorded. 
If temperature increases, the fan speed will increase immediately to the specified 
setting (see above). 
Lowering the fan speed will be applied after 10 minutes from the point of increase in 
fan speed. This design is intended to reduce toggling of the fan speed thereby 
increasing the life of the fan. 
Alarms will be raised based on the speed/rpm out of tolerance (existing design) 
When there is any fan failure or fan running at a very low speed, the software will 
kick start all the fans at full speed (255). 
There are fail safe mechanisms in place when the software fails/hangs.

Introduction 
To utilize certain software features, a software license is required in 
software releases after 01.02.20.  The license is resident on the chassis, 
and is easy to install using an FTP server.  No license server is 
required after installation. This section describes various applications 
that require a license file and also explains how to install, activate and 
verify the license file on the RF Gateway 1. 
Note: The screens in this section are representative of software release 
02.01.09 licensed features. The Authentication login button will not be 
present on software releases earlier than 02.01.09.

Applications Requiring a Software License 
To access the following features, a license is required after software release 01.02.20.  
 Data streams requiring use of the DOCSIS Timing Interface 
 DVB Encryption 
 PowerKey Encryption 
Note: It is recommended that the user backup the configuration of the RF Gateway 1 
before performing any software upgrade, including license file installation. 
RFGW Licenses  
All of the licenses on the RFGW-1 can be ordered individually or together 
depending on the application.  The available licenses are: 
Video - No license required – capability exists on the device when shipped. 
Data - Enables DOCSIS DEPI functionality.  One Data license enables functionality 
on 4 QAMs per port.  If an octal license is applied to the RFGW-1, two data licenses 
are needed to use 8 QAMs per port. 
PowerKEY - Enables PowerKEY scrambling.  One PowerKey license enables 
functionality on 4 QAMs per port.  If an octal license is applied to the RFGW-1 two 
PowerKEY licenses are needed  to use 8 QAMs per port. 
DVB - Enables DVB scrambling. One DVB scrambling license enables functionality 
on 4 QAMs per port.  If an octal license is applied to the RFGW-1, two DVB licenses 
are needed to use all 8 QAMs per port. 
Octal License Option: 
The Octal license enables 8 QAMs per port.  When ordering an Octal license as an 
upgrade, one license type is required – L-RFGW1-OCTAL 
When ordering the Octal license to be pre-installed at the factory, the Octal license is 
based upon the number of QAM cards. The Octal license can be purchased. Refer to 
the following table for the PID details.
