17. Safety Information for ARRIS Touchstone Products ARRIS telephony modems and cable modems comply with the applicable requirements for performance, construction, labeling, and information when used as outlined in this Section 17: All rights reserved.

17.1 Caution: Only a professional installer may connect the telephony modem to the homes 2003-2010 ARRIS Group, Inc.

existing telephone wiring. Physical connections to the previous telephone provider must be removed and the wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltages. Cancellation of tele-phone service is not sufficient to ensure there is no power to the telephony modem. Failure to do so may result in loss of service and/or permanent damage to the telephony modem.

17.2 Do not use the product near water (e.g., wet basement, bathtub, sink or near a swimming pool), to avoid risk of electrocution.

17.3 Avoid using and/or connecting the equipment during an electrical storm, to avoid risk of electrocution.

17.4 Do not locate the product within 6 feet (2 m) of a flame or ignition source, to avoid damage or injury from battery explosion, or heat damage.

17.5 Use only the power supply and/or power cord included with the Product. Install the Product near and easily accessible to the power outlet. Ground the RF drop cables shield at the building/residence either close to the point of entrance or at the point of attachment. Grounding as close as practical to the building/residence AC ground is required to minimize grounding con-nector length and thereby limit the potential voltage differences between the cable TV coaxial cable and other grounding system. Refer to the individual countrys National Electric Code for further details.

17.6 In areas of high AC power surge events or poor AC power grounding situations and areas prone to lightning strikes additional AC power surge protection may be required on the AC, RF, Ethernet, USB and phone lines.

17.7 If connecting the telephony modem or cable modem to a local computer through the Ethernet or USB cable the computer must be properly grounded to the building/residence AC ground network. All plug-in cards within the computer must be properly installed and grounded to the computer frame per the manufacturers specifications.All rights reserved.

Table 2-5: Dual-Port QAM Module (DPM 6DX2) Specifications

NOTEWhen setting a center frequency below 91MHz, the following message appears: Frequencies below 91MHz may impair RF signal quality. This refers to the 2nd order harmonic distortion. 2nd harmonics appear at two times the carrier frequency. For example, if the carrier frequency is 90MHz, then the 2nd harmonic would appear at 180MHz. 2nd harmonics below 91MHz can measure up to 3dB higher than the DRFI specification of -63dBc. The signal quality of the output carrier itself is not affected.

Two External F type female connectors 75 ohm (ISO-169-24)

Six block-converted adjacent channels per RF output port

The following describes the D5 UEQ operating modes.

Product OverviewThe D5 UEQ is a two rack unit (RU), high-density Edge QAM. Its modular, hot-swappable design supports a flexible system with built in compatibility, redundancy and scalability for current and next generation services. This overview describes the system interactions that comprise a basic D5 UEQ Edge QAM.Release 3.0.1 ARRIS PROPRIETARY All Rights Reserved 3-1 2003-2010 ARRIS Group, Inc.

3 Product Overview

Transport Stream ProcessingThe D5 UEQ processes MPEG over IP streams received over Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) connections. From these GigE connections, the D5 UEQ extracts MPEG Transport Streams (TS) that are subsequently multiplexed onto individual QAM channels and upconverted to desired RF frequencies for delivery.

Figure 3-1: D5 UEQ Logical Overview

Internal Operations

The D5 UEQ provides flexible control interfaces, via the Command Line Interface (CLI), the Web Manager, and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). These interfaces support configuration and reporting of all aspects of the D5 UEQ.

The CLI is the primary user interface. It can be accessed via the CLI port or Telnet. The Web Manager and SNMP are secondary user interfaces. Although not all CLI commands are duplicated in the Web Manager, most operations can be performed.

ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM

OAM&P The WAN module provides OAM&P (Operations, Administration, Mainte-

nance and Provisions) functions for chassis management, environment controls, Ethernet connectivity, MPEG, and QAM multiplexing functionality.

Module Identification

The D5 UEQ utilizes the Chassis Monitor Module (MON) to retrieve factory configured information from modules installed within the chassis. This information is gathered via the EEPROM on a per module basis for identi-fication. The EEPROM information includes:

Product Code - Name for a type of card (e.g. WAN module D5_4G2F)

Product Version - Version for a type of card (e.g. AA)

Serial Number - Unique code for a specific card (of the chassis, for the Midplane EEPROM)

Manufacturing Date - Date indicating start of warranty period

Assembly Code - Engineering code uniquely identifying a specific assembly, example ARCT00012

Assembly Revision Code - Engineering code that uniquely identifies a specific version of an assembly, example = A.

Environment Monitoring

Environment monitoring (e.g. power, thermals, fan rotation) is handled by the environment manager and logging system. The MON maintains envi-ronment control and signals out-of-tolerance information internally and then processes these events and updates appropriate SNMP MIB and Syslog information. The events are also reported via Webserver to the Application Manager status screens.

Some default limits and parameters may be adjusted via the CLI or Appli-cation Manager.

Image Management - Compact Flash

The compact flash (CF) is the only bulk storage drive in the D5 UEQ. It contains software images for all the available modules within the D5 UEQ. It also contains the operating system and configuration files from which the D5 UEQ boots. The CF is the location of non-volatile (NV) event infor-mation.

At startup, the events in the NV log are read and then stored in the volatile log (RAM on the WAN). If the MON is removed, the compact flash is not accessible and events will no longer be saved to the NV log. Release 3.0.1 ARRIS PROPRIETARY All Rights Reserved 3-3 2003-2010 ARRIS Group, Inc.

3 Product OverviewCAUTIONIf the compact flash becomes full, the system will not boot up. If this happens, clear out extraneous files to free up disk space (do not delete the system or config files).

ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAMEdge QAM

Video/UDP/MPEG Management

The D5 UEQ system terminates MPEG video streams ingested over UDP IP GigE ports. The D5 UEQ must associate UDP ports to QAM channels for coherent mapping of MPEG traffic to QAM/RF outputs.

Most video servers reply on a static session resource philosophy that provides the appropriate IP address and UDP port numbers to get a video source to its final destination. In this model, the Session Resource Manager (SRM) is configured manually without any protocols that nego-tiate between the SRM and the Edge QAM devices. To simplify this config-uration, blocks of UDP port numbers are associated (mapped) to the QAM channels of the D5 UEQ.

Each QAM channel has a set of 127 default UDP ports mapped to them and are directed to specific slots within the D5 UEQ (for more information, see Chapter 8, Video on Demand).

QAM/RF Management

Setting the frequency of the RF connector sets the center frequency of the lowest QAM channel and the other QAM channels move accordingly. The following diagram illustrates the frequencies where the QAM channels will appear.

Demodulator Support The Demodulator support added in release 3.0.1 allows the QPM module to provide RF related performance statistics to the user, either through the CLI, Web Manager or Application Manager.

There is a single demodulator circuit per QPM module, serving the full set of 32 possible QAM channels on the module. The demodulator works in conjunction with a silicon tuner and an RF switch that allows a single input from the 4 unique RF outputs to be tuned and demodulated.

The demodulator allows for the monitoring of Bit Error Rate (BER), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and counts Forward Error Correction (FEC) informa-tion. The monitoring/counting is performed on a periodic basis, where configured QAM channels on any of the 4 RF ports can be monitored for a maximum of 60 seconds before moving to the next QAM channel. Control of the monitoring is enabled on a per QAM channel or per RF port basis, and QAM channels can be included or excluded.

The demodulator also allows for the recovery of the QAM channel MPEG2TS stream from the RF output. This MPEG2TS stream may be snooped in the same way as the existing video snoop qam x/y.z post-mux command operates, replacing post-mux with post-rf. The peri-odic scanning of the QAM channels is halted when a post-rf snoop is running on a specific QAM channel in the QPM.

ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM

To enable the demodulator function, the video monitoring rf-

channel scan command must be entered at the RF port or QAM channel level. When executed at RF Port level, all active QAM channels are included in the periodic scanning. To enable the demodulator for the entire module, the video monitoring rf-signal scan command must be config-ured on all four QPM RF ports.

To exclude a QAM channel from the scanning, use the [no] format of the command.

The scanning algorithm demodulates every included QAM channel for a period of 1 second before moving to the next available QAM channel. To allow the demodulator to collect more statistics per QAM channel, the delay parameter, for the video monitoring rf-signal command can be used to extend the length of time, in milliseconds, the demodulator should dwell on the QAM channel before proceeding to the next QAM channel. The delay interval is called the scan window, and is used to collect the post-FEC BER measurement. The maximum interval is 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds). It is also possible to calculate the pre-FEC BER measurement using the unerrored/corrected/uncorrected values retrieved from the demodulated QAM RF signal.

In the case of monitoring a single QAM channel, it is possible to remove all but one video monitoring rf-signal scan command. This causes the scanning to remain on the same QAM channel, allowing the uninterrupted collection of FEC codewords and allows for a longer BER measurement. The FEC codeword related statistics are aggregating for the entire time the demodulator is scanning QAM channels. To reset the codeword counts, the QAM channel must be disabled from the demodulator and reenabled.

The D5 UEQ also provides an extension to the show interfaces qam X/Y.Z command to monitor the results of the demodulated statistics gathering.

The following example shows how the output of this command might look:

GigE Link Trunking Redundancy

The D5 UEQ has several layers of internal redundancy and fault tolerance including GigE link trunking redundancy.

Trunking allows multiple Ethernet links to be combined together to form a single logical link, with a total bandwidth equivalent to the aggregate of all the physical Ethernet links. In the case of the D5 UEQ, those logical links are the GigE Small Form Factor Pluggable cards (SFPs). The single logical GigE link of SFPs is treated as one interface and is normally configured with a single IP address. This can then be used to perform loopback testing on the interface. Any traffic sent by the sender to the destination IP address is automatically load balanced over all of the physical SFPs in the trunk. 3-12 ARRIS PROPRIETARY All Rights Reserved July 22, 2010 2003-2010 ARRIS Group, Inc.

ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM

Redundancy is achieved by redirection of ingested traffic from a failed SFP

to one that is configured to support a failure. If the failure is resolved, the D5 UEQ software will allow the reactivated SFP to work within the trunking configuration again.

The D5 UEQ can combine up to four GigE SFP ports into a trunk to create a single logical link capable of delivering 2.6 Gbps to the D5 UEQ.

GigE MAC Redundancy

GigabitEthernet MAC Redundancy is a feature developed on the D5 UEQ to support configuring an unused gigabitEthernet port as a backup for active gigabitEthernet ports. In Release 3.0.1, this feature further exploits the use of one of the fastEthernet ports, 0/1, being configured as a redun-dant backup port to support all four active gigabitEthernet SFP ports. The MAC Redundancy feature is transparent to the services running on the D5 UEQ, meaning that it can be applied to VOD, SDV (RPC/NGOD), BCAST, and DOCSIS/DEPI applications. Each of the four gigabitEthernet ports on the D5 UEQ have full Ethernet MAC functionality. When a gigabitEthernet port is used as a spare, it must be connected to the same switch/vlan as the gigabitEthernet ports it is sparing for. The MAC redundancy feature is configured through the use of the ip bundle gigabitethernet x/y command entered on any active gigabitEthernet port. For detailed infor-mation, please refer to the Expanded Operation in Release 3.0.1 section on page 13-17.

IGMP Client v1, v2, v3

In certain topologies, it is not necessary to run a multicast routing protocol because the D5 UEQ can be utilized to learn group membership informa-tion and forward streams based upon that information. The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used for this purpose.

Multicast video traffic received by the D5 UEQ uses the same UDP port mapping rules as unicast video traffic. These forwarding rules dictate which QAM channels will receive video stream(s). Therefore, the same multicast group address can be reused for multiple video streams once a unique UDP destination port is used in each stream.

IGMP can be employed to the network architecture either by directly connecting the D5 UEQ to a video server or remotely connecting via a switch, series of switches, routers, or a combination thereof.

The IGMP client operates on either a gigabit subinterface or a loopback subinterface that is a member of a trunk. It does not operate on any fast Ethernet ports. IGMP interfaces are initiated when a port is configured in a video mode, this includes when a loopback is added to a trunk. IGMP Release 3.0.1 ARRIS PROPRIETARY All Rights Reserved 3-13 2003-2010 ARRIS Group, Inc.

3 Product Overview

interfaces are removed when a port is configured in a non video mode, this

includes when a loopback is removed from a trunk. There are a maximum of 253 groups that can be configured on the D5 UEQ. A group can only be configured against a single subinterface.

When a group is statically configured, the WANs switch is programmed to allow packets destined to the multicast address to be passed whether IGMP is enabled or disabled on that subinterface.

Digital Video Broadcasting

The D5 UEQ provides the normal DVB Broadcast table processing that includes program and Packet Identifier (PID) filtering, remapping of PIDs and Single Program Transport Stream (SPTS) multiplexing. It also supports all the normal DVB SI (Service Information) tables. The ARRIS D5 Application Manager also provides the ability to create and inject Program Specific Information (P)SI table via the DVB Program Specific Information Generator (P)SIG interfaces. Some additional functions the D5 UEQ provides:

Support for DVB-SI tables not just MPEG (P)SI

Privacy ModeThe application of Privacy-Mode technology enables the D5 UEQ device to seamlessly integrate with more conditional access systems and set-top boxes in addition to its existing DVB SimulCrypt support. The D5 UEQs session- and tier-based encryption capability provides greater flexibility than the common practice of pre-encrypting VOD content as well as reducing the overall complexity, cost of implementing and managing a Video on Demand service.

The Privacy Mode deliverable for the D5 UEQ covers a number of different elements. The D5 UEQ is equipped with the correct scrambling technology to enable incoming streams to be encrypted in real-time with the correct CAS parameters. The D5 UEQ will dynamically retrieve the necessary secure CAS information to support this real time scrambling. It does this through a separate proxy application that is supplied as part of the D5 Application Manager platform. In a similar way to DVB SimulCrypt condi-tional access systems, multiple D5 UEQs are expected to communicate via the proxy application for this secure CAS information. The proxy applica-tion is a secure application that is protected from unauthorized use and must be unlocked before it can be used. It off loads any direct D5 UEQ communication to the Privacy Mode ERS element and as such acts as the central authority that enables Privacy Mode to operate on D5 UEQs.

DVB SimulCrypt

The Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) SimulCrypt standard is the dominant Conditional Access (CAS) standard deployed by European cable operators. Its open nature allows various headend devices to work together seamlessly to provide secure delivery of broadcast and event content to cable customers.

The DVB SimulCrypt specification relies on a DVB common scrambling algorithm for the encryption and decryption of MPEG information. A secure system of Electronic Keys, Control Words (CW), Subscriber Management Systems (SMS), Entitlement Control Messages (ECM), Entitlement Management Messages (EMM) and external event scheduling systems are used to protect content in the Multiple Service Operator (MSO) network.

The D5 UEQs SimulCrypt solution allows an Operator to support multiple CAS solutions which gives them greater freedom and flexibility in the implementation of content protection within their networks. It supports the handling of vendor-specific pre-encrypted content and stream encryp-tion by adding descriptor pointers and Program Identifiers (PIDS) into D5 UEQ Program Map Tables (PMT), Program Association Tables (PAT), and Network Information Tables (NIT). The D5 UEQ accepts scrambling session information, interfaces with ECM generators, creates, then supplies CWs, and receives prepared ECM messages.

3 Product Overview

synchronization of CWs and transmission time, for ECMs, and interfaces

with SMS systems so that it can forward EMM messages and Private Data messages to subscriber STBs.

An example of this scrambling session begins when a signal is sent to the D5 UEQ Edge QAM before the MPEG content is transmitted. This allows the D5 UEQ to setup the necessary sessions needed to send CWs in exchange for ECMs. The D5 UEQ schedules the transmission of ECMs with respect to the receipt of MPEG content. It also coordinates timing for scrambling MPEG content. The subscribers set top box (STB) then receives the ECMs and uses service keys (SK) to descramble them and recover CWs. The subscribers STB uses the CWs to then descramble the received MPEG content.

DVB PSI/SI Processing

The D5 UEQ PSI/SI processing ensures the integrity of video streams received and forwarded to output QAM channels. PSI information contained within PAT and PMT tables gets dynamically updated as a result of SPTS multiplexing to output QAMs. Automatic program numbering for received SPTS streams can be used, with the resultant PAT and PMTs updated with the new numbering. PID filtering and remapping also results in changes to these PSI tables. The D5 UEQ also creates CAT tables as required for any EMMs that may be added to an output multiplex and updates descriptors within PMT tables for any ECMs that may be present.

DVB SI information is also handled by the D5 UEQ, from updating of NIT tables, to the handling of external configured SI information pro
