Cisco RFGW-1-D
The Cisco RF Gateway 1 is a standards-based universal edge QAM (U-EQAM) solution for convergence of high-speed and high-bandwidth data and video distribution at the edge of the cable access network.
About
The Cisco RFGW-1-D connector allows you to monitor and control a Cisco RF Gateway 1 device. Different parameters of the device can be viewed and different settings can be set to a preferred value.

Configuration
Connections
SNMP Connection - Main
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.
Usage
General page
The General page displays some general parameters of the device.
The Configuration page button will save the QAMs configuration. It allows you to confirm the last File Management Command, the File Management Last Result, the File Configuration File Name, and the Last Backup File Name. Click the Refresh button to refresh these parameters.
There is also one page button (IF Table.) available on the page. This will display a pop-up page where the IF Table can be viewed.
Resources
The Resources page displays the FPGA temperatures on the left-hand side of the page. On the right-hand side there is a table that displays the QAM Cards.
Underneath this table there are two page buttons (PS Status., Fan Status.) that each take you to a pop-up page that will displays extra parameters.
IP Network
The IP Network page displays data regarding the network. There is one button (Norm. With Current IP) available on this page, this button will set the normalizations set on the Normalize Values pop-up page as the normal value for the alarms.
Three page buttons are also available on this page (Normalize Values., IP Network More. and GbE Input Ports.). Each page button will display a pop-up page with additional parameters.
GbE Interfaces
This page displays data regarding the GbE Interface. There is one page button available (Nominal Inputs.), that will display a pop-up page where the normalized values can be set for the four GbE Inputs. When you click Normalize Inputs, these values will be set as the normal for the alarms.
QAMs
The QAMs page displays two tables (Global RF Port Configuration and Global QAM Channel Configuration). There are two page button available (Normalize RF Ports. and Normalize TS ID.). Each of these page buttons will open a pop-up page where the normalized values can be set. Clicking Normalize RF Ports or Normalize TS ID will set the normalized values as the normal value for the alarms.
Output
This page displays the Output Overview Table. The page button (Norm. BW Sessions.) will open the Normalized with Sessions Values pop up. Here the normalized values can be set as preferred. Click Norm. BW Sessions to use the set values as the normal values for the alarms.
Alarm
This page displays the Active Alarms Table. There is one page button (Filters.) available where the user can add/remove filters. This is done by entering a value for the Filter Name and then pressing either the Add Filter or Delete Filter button.
Stream Map
This page displays the stream Map Monitoring Table. Above this table, you can choose to set the Stream Map Poll On or Off.
Monitor Input
This page is related to the new Cisco RF Gateway 1 Software Release 5.02.09 and shows the RFGW-1 Input Streams and the Input Redundancy commands.
Web Interface
Note that the client machine has to be able to access the device, as otherwise it will not be possible to open the web interface.
Usage (Range 3.0.0.x)
General Page
This page contains general information about the device. It displays the System Description, System Name, System Location and System Contact.
Interfaces Page
This page contains information on the interfaces of the Arris E6000 device.
The Interface Table shows information for each interface, such as the Description, Type, MTU, Speed, Physical Address, status information (Admin Status and Operational Status), information about errors and discarded packets (Inbound Discards, Inbound Errors, Outbound Discards, Outbound Errors) and interface utilization (Utilization In and Utilization Out).
The page shows the Number of Displayed Interfaces, based on how many interfaces are currently being displayed in the table.
It contains the Interface Selection page button with the Interface Selection Table.
The Interface Selection Table controls the displayed interfaces on the Interface Table:
- It has two parameters in order to filter the interfaces and enable or disable interfaces being displayed (Description Filter and Type Filter) once the corresponding Enable/Disable button is clicked.
- The Interface Selection Table has a Displayed column with toggle button that allows you to switch between enabled or disabled.
QAMs Page
This page contains two tables, the QAM Channels Overview table and the QAM Channels Details table, which both use the QAM Channel Name as an identifier.
- The QAM Channels Overview table contains information regarding the Bandwidth, Bitrate, Utilization and sessions per channel.
- The QAM Channel Details table contains more specific information for each channel, such as if the channel is muted or not, Spectrum Inversion value, transport id value, etc.
RF Ports Page
This page contains the RF Port Table, which displays a counter for interfaces that are down, as well as the administrator status per RF port (Interfaces Down and Admin Status). Like previous tables, this table displays bit rates, the total maximum bandwidth and the usage percentage per RF port (Bit Rate, Total Max Bandwidth and Utilization).
Streams Map Page
This page contains a table that displays the current stream map. This map is used to route video streams from the input ports to an output port (QAM Channel).
