The CM500 is a complete installation and service SLM that fully tests analog,digital and cable modem services. The CM500 has the power to test cuttingedge services, such as VoIP and QoS enabled networks. Exercise both theupstream and downstream paths with the built-in cable modem. Options allowthe CM500 to be configured to meet your performance and network requirements,both today and tomorrow.As networks role out a variety of premium services there is a greater need to qualify installations for full downstream, upstream, and digital compliance. Digital signals work right up to the point of catastrophic failure. Why risk poor installs, dissatisfied customers and expensive service calls? Even a novice will be assured of a quick and quality installation before leaving the customer premises. Only the Install Profiler provides a full range of automatic comprehensive tests that measure the operational performance ensuring appropriate safety margins, reducing installation time and preventing costly callbacks.

"SMART" One-Button Tests The Install Profilers provide three test locations, each with its' own set of programmable tests and Pass/Fail limits. Once the tests are selected and the limits are programmed, via the PC-IP software program, the user may select Tap Check, Ground Block Check or Set-Top Check to initiate the automatic test routine. Cable Modem Check is available only on the CM500 IP.

"SMART" Test Result Screens Each "SMART" test provides a simple Pass/Fail display indicating the outcome. An overall Pass/Fail indication is displayed in the upper left corner of the display, with individual Pass/Fail analysis of the analog, digital and cable modem tests, depending on the model in use.

Detail Result Screens The Install Profiler can also display a summary of the test results for each of the "SMART" tests that it performs. If enabled, easy to interpret color bar graphs provide a summary of the measurements and the Pass/Fail Limits on an auto-ranging scale. Detail screens are provided for each active group of measurements (analog, digital and cable modem, coinciding with the model in use).

Full Featured Manual SLM The Install Profiler's manual SLM mode includes a full complement of comprehensive analog and digital measurements. The manual SLM mode provides state-of-the-art Signal Level Meter measurement, data storage and result analysis, making it a true "One Meter Solution," ideal for installing and testing analog and digital drop networks.

Return Spectrum Eliminate Ingress, Noise and CPD in the return. The return path is often the most challenging portion of the network. The Install Profiler offers the simplest semi-automated test method for testing and troubleshooting the return path. The Return Spectrum will measure "bursty" TDMA return signals, intermittent ingress, noise and CPD (common path distortion) at three programmed or user selectable frequencies. Simply set the markers and the Install Profiler does all the work, reading out the carrier level of TDMA signals, CPD or ingress, C/I ratio and C/N ratio.

Cable Modem Check The CM500IP includes an integrated cable modem to fully exercise the DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS network connection by ranging and registering with the CMTS to test the upstream and downstream. "SMART" cable modem tests allow "one-button' test and verification of cable modem services anywhere on the drop. The upstream is qualified by measuring transmit level, BkER (upstream BER) and data transfer rate. The downstream is qualified by measuring level, MER, Pre-FEC BER, Post-FEC BER and downstream data rate. The screen displays the Upstream and Downstream data rate and appropriate value for an RSA (if used).

Detail Result Screens Detail screens can be accessed to view bar graphs of the test results if the programmer has allowed access.

Ensures a Quality Installation

Location Tests can be programmed to verify some channels or the entire channel plan making a few simple measurements or a full complement of comprehensive tests suitable for FCC proof-of-performance. Quick and comprehensive testing increases the number of installations a technician can perform and reduces the number of service calls, by solving problems other meters leave behind. Ensuring quality installations will also increase customer satisfaction and reduce subscriber churn.

CM500 ADVANTAGES

Quality Installation

Programmable SMART tests can verify a few key channels or the entire channel plan. Tests can range from a few simple level measurements to a full complement of comprehensive tests suitable for FCC proof-of-performance certification. Quick and comprehensive testing will ensure safe operating margins, reduce call backs and solve problems other meters leave behind. All this while increasing the number of installations performed in a day.

Saves Time and Expense

Save time and expense by letting the CM500 guarantee the job is done right the first time. Whether you do your own installs or use contractors, the CM500 will reduce your costs and help retain customers.The test results are not open to interpretation; they are clear, consistent, and easily documented. Your return on investment can be realized in as little as thirty days.
