Introduction to Cisco QAM Gateway Manager
This chapter provides basic information about Cisco QAM Gateway Manager 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 uMG9850 QAM Modules installed in Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switches. 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:
A brief description of each of these views is provided in the sections that follow.
Chassis View
The Chassis View (see Figure 1-1) lists for a selected device, the contents of each slot in the device, including the status of fan tray and power supply assemblies, and operating status. The Chassis View also provides the means to configure global timeouts and program-specific information (PSI) parameters.
Figure 1-1 Chassis View
Note
Slot View
The Slot View (see Figure 1-2) lists for a specific Cisco uMG9850 module, a summary of the QAM channels' administrative and link status, and the administrative and link status of ASI and Ethernet ports. Also provided is information on the number of incoming sessions and outgoing programs.
The Slot View also allows configuration of slot-level timeouts, video routing, emulation mode, jitter, and Program Data Delivery (PDD), and provides links to the configuration of conditional access system (CAS) parameters, QAM parameters, and jumbo frames.

Note
ASI Port View
The asynchronous serial interface (ASI) Port View (see Figure 1-10) lists the current configuration parameters for the ASI port and allows configuration of these parameters.

Note
Ethernet Port View
The Ethernet Port View (see Figure 1-11) lists information on port configuration and status, and allows setting of administrative status for the port, switchport status, and VLAN number.

Note
Notification History Table
The Notification History table (see Figure 1-12) 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.
