Features and Benefits

The Intelligent Channel Optimizer (ICO) is a GUI-based tool used to maximize the throughput of RF upstream channels connected to ARRIS C4 / C4c CMTS DOCSIS® 2.0 (2Dx12U) CAMs, DOCSIS 3.0 (12U and 24U) CAMs, and E6000 CER UCAMs, UCAM-2s and ARRIS E6000n RPD.

After analyzing the noise conditions present for a particular upstream channel, the ICO employs error analysis algorithms to provide guidance on optimal modulation profile and upstream channel settings.

The ICO runs on a laptop or desktop PC and may be used remotely via Telnet, Secure Shell version 2 and SNMP.

Directly measure the noise floor, excluding any transmission (burst) from CM
Capture upstream bursts from a particular CM SID, burst IUC, or logical channel
Maximize the throughput of RF upstream channels
Optimize modulation profiles ICO calculation is done for a wide range of modulation profile types, channel widths, center frequencies and forward error correction (FEC) values

Monitors upstream spectrum and analyzes upstream SC-QAM channels
Optimize modulation profiles & upstream SC-QAM channel parameters for maximum throughput
Works with E6000 CER Release 4.0 or higher, C4 CMTS Release 8.0 or higher and C4c CMTS Release 8.0 or higher
Works with ARRIS E6000n RPDs provisioned by the E6000 eCore
The ICO analysis is accomplished for a wide range of: Modulation Profile Types, Channel Widths, Center Frequencies, Forward Error Correction (FEC) Values
