default work order ID to be
the last selected work order
instead of “Work Order” with
date/time stamp.
▪ Software (SW) and Firmware (FW) releases are the best way to ensure your VIAVI
OneExpert ONX is functioning at its best.
▪ All ONX units should be upgraded to the latest production software release – available
through StrataSync (or your Viavi representative)
▪ New SW Version offer substantial operational improvements and enhancements over earlier
software releases including the version that shipped with the units initially.
▪ The software will be deployed to the units by the StrataSync Administrator, but each unit
needs to be configured to connect with StrataSync.
▪ Follow these steps to ensure your meter is configured correctly and you can connect to
StrataSync to receive the latest updates.
5) Press Update to confirm and start the upgrade. The meter will power off when
the update is complete.

and require possible profile adjustment. 256 QAM or lower will work.
DOCSIS 3.1 is backwards compatible – can utilize just 3.0 QAM carriers. Verify bonding with OFDM
carriers to ensure that high-tier data traffic is on more efficient OFDM carriers and is not impacting other
customers.
THINGS TO CHECK:
Bonding with OFDM, Upstream bonding and Throughput
DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM carrier power levels should be measured and referenced in comparison to the
power in a 6MHz carrier.
In a flat system, the average power of the OFDM, referenced to a 6MHz carrier should be set to the
same power level as the adjacent 6MHz QAM 256 carriers.
NOTE: The TOTAL power of the 96 or 192 MHz OFDM carrier is greatly different than the average power in a 6MHz bandwidth.
Total power of 96/192MHz wide carrier: This is not referenced to a 6MHz carrier
NOTE: DON’T USE THE TOTAL OFDM POWER to ADJUST CMTS OUTPUT POWER
(This would be like using the total integrated power of 32 DOCSIS QAM carriers to set the level)
Select OFDM
carrier in scan
▪ Measure and reference OFDM carriers in comparison to
power in a 6 MHz bandwidth (CableLabs® recommendation).
▪ With 8 MHz QAM in Europe → Set the OFDM level (ref. 6
MHz) 1.2 dB below the 8 MHz QAM 256 to maintain the
same power/Hz.
▪ PLC carrier average power will be approximately 0.8dB
Look at OFDM higher than other carriers due to additional pilots and data
carrier average patterns

DOCSIS Service Plan – Configuration
• Each of the ONX’s 5 different Cable Modem MAC addresses can be configured independently
• Label – This name will appear on the ONX under the Registration Information presented during a DOCSIS test to ensure the
proper Service plan was selected
• Downstream Throughput URL – Enter the IP/URL address and file name of the HTTP server and test file that the ONX will
use to download and calculate downstream throughput speeds (Ex: http://testurl.com/testfile.zip or
http://12.34.56.78/testfile.zip)
• Upstream Throughput URL - Enter the IP/URL address of the HTTP server the ONX will use to send data to and calculate
upload throughput speeds (Ex: http://testurl.com or http://12.34.56.78) typically is the same IP/URL as downstream
• VoIPCheck Server – If a VoIPCheck reflection server is available this can be entered into the VoIPCheck Server field (Note:
VoIPCheck is not yet implemented on ONX)
• NOTE* In a D3.0 network DOCSIS Emulation type must be adjusted to D3.0 32x8; in a D3.1 network DOCSIS
Emulation must be set to D3.1 – 32x8

DOCSIS Profile Activation on ONX
▪ After deployment screens, re-sync ONX with StrataSync. The DOCSIS Profiles will get pushed to the ONX, but are not yet
active until a new WORKORDER ID is created.
▪ To activate the new DOCSIS profile, perform a DOCSISCheck or ChannelCheck (located in the CATV section of the ONX
main screen) and enter a new WORKORDER ID.
▪ Complete the DOCSISCheck or ChannelCheck and after completion, REBOOT the ONX.
▪ Refer to official CM MAC provisioning documents put out by management for specific Throughput URLs and instructions on
how to request and provision the meters internal cable modem.
▪ Once Provisioning is complete, all DOCSIS Expert or DOCSIS Check tests will allow Throughput testing with
measurements and results recorded.

Off-Air Ingress Plan – Configuration
▪ Off-Air Ingress Plans are used to designate which frequencies the ONX will measure during the OneCheck test for ingress
interferers in the downstream frequency range
▫ Find LTE or terrestrial broadcast interferers on the HFC network
▫ If a QAM carrier is in the band the ONX uses its Ingress Under the Carrier feature to see the noise floor below a QAM channel,
if the spectrum is vacant the ONX will look at the spectral response in the band(s) to see if the limit is exceeded
▪ Enter the Label, Start, Stop, Limit value, and Limit Type for each Ingress band desired
▪ Use the green + or red – to add or delete Off-Air Ingress bands

Measurement Settings - Configuration
▪ Measurement Settings on the ONX currently determines if a DOCSIS test (range and registration) is performed and if DOCSIS
Service tests (throughput & packet loss) is performed when a OneCheck test is ran
▪ This applies to All OneCheck tests at all Locations (Tap, Ground Block, CPE)
▪ DOCSIS Test - If a OneCheck test should perform communications with the CMTS then the DOCSIS Test should be enabled – If
disabled the OneCheck test will only run the Ingress and Downstream channel tests only
▪ DOCSIS Service Tests – If a OneCheck test should also perform IP service tests the DOCSIS Service Tests should be enabled –
If disabled then the ONX will not perform IP service testing during a OneCheck test
▪ Note: To enable DOCSIS Service Tests the DOCSIS Test must be enabled as well
