"Dynamic Range Window violation"

"RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power Exceeds Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW;CM-MAC=a4:98:13:fb:29:61;CMTS-MAC=28:52:61:29:69:61;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;"

 

I have an Arris SB8200 modem with an XR500 Nighthawk and Comcast Gig package.

 

What does this error mean in the event log and how do I fix it?

 

From the research, I learned that maybe Arris upstream default is too high for Comcast recommended levels? or Comcast messed up their compatibility with Arris? Please help me out thanks.

Bottom line. Are you actually experiencing any connectivity problems ? If not, don't sweat the log entries.

Even though the signal stats looked o/k at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) somewhere.

 

There are other signal stat figures that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.


I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. They can check the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) for any real time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll for those upstream receive signal stats.

You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

Yeah, I don't really get my speeds usually half most of the time and sometimes reboots. I looked this problem up in other threads and wanted more insight. Almost all threads say there is a problem somewhere hence why it's saying it.

Did this issue get resolved?  I seem to be having the same issue with the same modem. 

 

Thanks,

 

Josh
