2. Ingress detection in the eld

The strand-mounted Portable Ingress Receiver IRXP detects, measures and localizes ingress

event data on a continuous basis from ITX2 eld devices. The IRXP transmits the identied

capture points to the CPAT WEB cloud application via an integrated cellular data connection.

Readings are also available remotely in real time through the RIM service (see section 8

- RIM). The IRXP enables the cable operator to reduce deployment time and focus on the

nd-and-x equation immediately, diminishing subscriber downtime and hardening the HFC

Outside Plant.

Once identied, the signal is decoded and measured by the IRXP, and the information

is forwarded to the CPAT WEB Cloud application, which in turn will precisely logs the

geographical location of capture points in post processing. Readings are also available

remotely in real time through the RIM service (see section 8 - RIM).

3. System Components

The IRXP is the receiver part of a nd-and-x ingress and monitoring solution for broadband

operators. It detects signal transmitted over the air via the ITX2 that enters the cable network.

The IRXP RF entry is fed via a test point in the eld. The main operating status is displayed

on the Button-LED on the front panel. Once installed, it requires no further intervention to

monitor and transmit results via the CPAT WEB Cloud application.

5. Setup

5.1 Installation

Being light-weight, the IRXP can be installed almost anywhere along the outside plant. It

is strand-mountable, and can safely be left without surveillance. the IRXP is non service

affecting when connected to a test point: on an optical node, an amplier test point or a tap

entry port.

The IRXP can be used in multiple scenarios: along the outside plant, within a Multi-Dwelling

unit (MDU) or as a home wiring certication tool.

CPAT FLEX Operation Manual (IRXP) CPAT FLEX Operation Manual (IRXP)

In some portions of the network, the coaxial cable is electried and powers the active

devices located on that segment. In order to avoid electrical signal reections, it is strongly

recommended to isolate the IRXP from the network using a test probe. The model illustrated

below operates in the 5 MHz to 1 GHz range, and introduces a - 20 dB attenuation.

The maximum RF level entry is 35dBmV in the RF input. This is however the total RF level

between 5~45 MHz.

If you want to combine nodes on the same RF entry, be aware that the IRXP sensitivity

performance might be affected: since the IRXP tries to detect ingress, the incoming digital

ingress signal is not always at the same level

CAUTION:

Levels over this limit can distort the signal or damage the receiver’s RF front-

end. Contact the CPAT technical support for more information.

5.2 Ingress frequency

IRXP supports three ingress frequencies: 6.78MHz, 27.12MHz and 40.68MHz. The frequency

is selected through the CPAT Web interface. IRXP checks for a new conguration only once

after booting.

5.3 Electrical

The AC/DC adapter is supplied with the equipment. It is compatible 110V/220V voltages and

50/60Hz.

6. System Operation

6.1 Power On

To power on the unit, press the ON/OFF button on the front panel. You should see the button

LED on the front panel turns yellow solid.

6.2 LED Information

The button LED indicates the status of the unit.

Power ON:

• When YELLOW solid, the system is booting (takes about 15 seconds to boot).

• When GREEN LED ashes three times per second, the FPGA is programming.

• When GREEN LED ashes twice per second, the cellular modem attempts to

connect to network.

• When GREEN LED ashes once per second, the system is ready to detect ingress.

Warning:

• When YELLOW LED ashed once per second, temperature is too cold (<-10°C) or

too hot (>55°C).

• When YELLOW LED ashed twice per second, battery is too low (<15% of charge).

• When YELLOW LED ashed three times per second, there are problems with les

transfer (SFTP).

Error:

• When RED LED ashes once per second, SIM card is missing.

• When RED LED ashes twice per second, battery voltage is lower than 6.95V and

IRXP is in shutdown process.

• When RED LED ashes three times per second, FPGA is not responding.

7. System Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning of the Equipment

Your IRXP unit can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water. Avoid

solvents and commercial cleaners.

8. Real-time Ingress Monitor (RIM)

The RIM service is available through our CPAT Mobile Application and our RIM web site. It

gives remote access, in real-time, to the ingress measurement captured by IRXP. It provides

eld technicians visual readings to locate with precision the source of Ingress entering the

cable network. Furthermore, the RIM web site gives the IRXP status.

8.1 Login the RIM

To consult data on the RIM the user must have a smart phone or a laptop with at least an

access to the internet. The user must have a CPAT prole, which consist of a username and

a password to login on the application or website www.cpat-solution.com/RIM.

Figure 1: RIM Login page on Mobile App or through the website 1

Ingress:

• When BLUE ashes, an ingress fault has been detected:

• Once per second, ingress level is <= -12dBmV.

• Twice per second, ingress level is > -12dBmV and <= 0 dBmv.

• Once per second, ingress level is > 0dBmv.

Power OFF/Reboot:

• When ashing WHITE, the system is in shutdown (or reboot) process while it is

transferring its les to the CPAT servers. If IRXP doesn’t have access to the Internet,

the maximum waiting time is 30 seconds before it is shutdown.

• Once per second, this is a shutdown process.

• Twice per second, this is a reboot process (usually after an update).

6.3 Communication

The IRXP uses a cellular modem to communicate with CPAT servers. This allows

measurements and warning message to be access through the RIM web site and CPAT

mobile app (see section 8).

6.4 Find & Fix

Once the IRXP is connected to the plant and to the mobile network, the technician can start

the nd-and-x using the ITX2. Here is a video explaining the CPAT ingress solution with an

IRX1 (head line equivalent of IRXP):

https://www.cpat-solution.com/CPAT/Media/EfgisITX2.mp4

6.5 Shutdown

To power off the unit there are two modes Normal and Force shutdown, usually the user

should privilege the normal shutdown mode to avoid undesired ash memory corruption,

force shutdown should be use ONLY in case that the device is not responding.

Normal Mode Shutdown:

In normal mode user should press the button on the front panel ON/OFF for 1 second then

let the IRXP initiate its shutdown process than the button LED ashes white indicating the

device will turn off.

Force Mode Shutdown (not recommended):

To force the IRXP to power down when running, press the ON/OFF button on the front

panel for 3 seconds. When the unit shuts down, you can release the button. This is not the

recommended shutdown method.

NOTE

The RIM is also available as a mobile application for iOs and Android. To

download it, connect to the Apple App store (iTunes) or the Android App store

(Google Play), and download the “CPAT” app. The rst module within this app

is an enhanced version of the RIM software on the web.

1 Chrome Browser was used as an example for the RIM website.

8.2 Choose the Proper ITX and IRX

Once the user is logged in the application or web site he must choose his ITX from the list

and then he will be able to view all the data available from his ITX. Remember that the higher

the value, the closer the ingress data point.

Figure 2: Chose an ITX from the list

Then, it is possible to view the IRXP status: mobile signal strength, battery level and minutes

while last IRXP status update. Furthermore, IRXP logs are available at the bottom. IRXP infor-

mation is updated every 5 minutes

NOTE

The list of available ITX will differ from one user to another depending on their

respective access granted

9. Updates and Recovery

The IRXP device can be updated automatically. Usually the system will update its rmware

when needed via provided updates from our FTP website.

9.1 Automatic Update

The IRXP device is usually automatically updated when needed. The updates are distributed

from our FTP server to the device. All rmware updates are tested to ensure high quality

and efciency with our product. There is no need for external intervention with automatic

updates.
