Introduction to Cisco QAM Gateway Manager
This chapter provides basic information about Cisco QAM Gateway Manager (Cisco QGM) and includes the following sections:
•
Overview

Overview
Cisco QAM Gateway Manager is a PC-based graphical user interface (GUI) element management application to be used with Cisco uMG980 series QAM gateway products, the Cisco uMG9820 QAM Gateway and the Cisco uMG9850 QAM Module. The SNMP-based Java application is used for basic configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, and also includes hierarchical views of devices and their components, as well as a Telnet interface to the managed devices.
Hardware and Software Supported
Table 1-1 lists Cisco hardware supported by Cisco QAM Gateway Manager, along with the minimum software release required for each.
Cisco QAM Gateway Manager Views
Cisco QAM Gateway Manager uses a variety of views for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting:
•

Each of these views are described in the following sections. Differences between the views for the Cisco uMG9820 QAM Gateway and the Cisco uMG9850 QAM modules in Cisco Catalyst switches are noted.
Chassis View
The Chassis View (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2) lists for a selected device, the contents of each slot in the device, including the status of fan tray and power supply assemblies. For Cisco Catalyst switches, operating status is also displayed.
The Chassis View also provides the means to configure global timeouts and, for Cisco Catalyst switches, program-specific information (PSI) parameters.

Slot View
The Slot View (see Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4) lists for a specific device, a summary of the QAM channels' administrative and link status, and, for Cisco Catalyst switches, the administrative and link status of ASI and Ethernet ports. Also provided is information on the number of incoming sessions and outgoing programs.
For Cisco Catalyst switches, the Slot View also provided the means to configure slot-level timeouts, slot-level addressing, and jitter.

Note
All Sessions View
(Cisco Catalyst switches only) The All Sessions View (see Figure 1-5) lists session statistics for idle, inactive, and active sessions, and for invalid PSI states.

Note
All Session Details
(Cisco Catalyst switches only) All Session Details (see Figure 1-6) provides read-only values for a specific session.

Note
QAM Summary View
For both devices, the QAM Summary View (see Figure 1-9) allows viewing and configuration of all QAM channels for all parameters except bandwidth utilization and video sessions mapping.

Note
QAM Channel View
For both devices, the QAM Channel View (see Figure 1-10) lists the current configuration parameters for the selected QAM channel, and allows configuration of these parameters.

Note
ASI Port View
For both types of devices, the asynchronous serial interface (ASI) Port View (see Figure 1-11) lists the current configuration parameters for the ASI port and allows configuration of these parameters.
Figure 1-11 ASI Port View (Cisco Catalyst Switch with Cisco uMG9850 QAM Module Shown)
Note
For Cisco Catalyst switches, highlight the ASI port on the Cisco uMG9850 module in the navigation tree, and choose View > Interface.
Ethernet Port View
The Ethernet Port View (see Figure 1-12) lists information on port configuration and status, and allows setting of administrative status for the port and, for Cisco Catalyst switches only, switchport status and VLAN number.

Note
For Cisco Catalyst switches, highlight an Ethernet port on the Cisco uMG9850 module in the navigation tree, and choose View > Interface.
Notification History Table
For both types of devices, the Notification History table (see Figure 1-13) lists statistics for a device. Each time a device threshold is passed or an invalid PSI data condition is detected, an entry is recorded in the table.
