New Project Files

Click the Add New icon to get started.

• Identification

  • Name: Name of the project file.

  • Description: A short description of the project file.

  • Grouping: The grouping to which the project file asset belongs.

  • Is Deprecated: Select this toggle to mark the file as deprecated.

• General Properties

  • Maximum Amplifiers in Cascade: The maximum number of amplifiers that can be placed in series.

  • Maximum Reverse Tilt: The maximum amount of attenuation allowable in high frequency channels versus low frequency channels. Depending on the value in this parameter, designers may be prompted to place an inline equalizer or amplifier while designing. This field allows decimal values.

  • Maximum Current Warn Level Percentage: The maximum percentage of current draw allowed before a warning is given.

  • Homes Passed Target: The number of homes passed that the project's network should not exceed.

  • Market: The market associated with a project file and designs created with that project file. The Market property value from the project file will be associated with components in designs created with that project file. A project file should be created for each market.

• Amplifier Properties

  • Amplifier Acceptable Forward Range: The acceptable range of decibels on the forward signal of the amplifier.

  • Amplifier Forward Warning Buffer: The number of decibels allowed on the forward signal before a warning is given.

  • Amplifier Acceptable Return Target Range: The acceptable number of decibels on the return signal of the amplifier.

  • Amplifier Return Warning Buffer: The number of decibels allowed on the return signal before a warning is given.

  • Default Amplifier Pad: The default number of decibels that help condition the amplifier signal.

• Tap Properties

  • Forward Tap Margin: The maximum amount that the signal can drop below the Forward Tap Port Minimum Levels.

  • Return Tap Margin: The amount the signal can rise above the maximum (Return Tap Port Target Levels + Return Tap Port Range) and drop below the minimum (Return Tap Port Target Levels - Return Tap Port Window).

  • Tracked Forward Frequencies: The tracked forward signal at particular frequencies.

  • Tracked Return Frequencies: The tracked return signal at particular frequencies.

  • Forward Tap Port Minimum Levels: The minimum number of decibels relative to one millivolt at particular frequencies for a tap's forward signal.

  • Forward Tap Port Window: The amount above Forward Tap Port Minimum Levels that the signal can rise before warnings are generated.

  • Return Tap Port Target Levels: The targeted value that the auto-optimization engine attempts to achieve.

    Return Tap Port Range: The amount above and below Return Tap Port Target Levels that the signal can move before warnings are generated.
