• Signal to Noise Ratio Estimate—The current SNR value used to determine the Signal Quality.
• Lock Threshold—The lock threshold value used to determine the Signal Quality.
• Power Level—The current upstream power level that the router is using.
The following are errors encountered by the router at the MAC layer:
• Mac Resets—The number of times that the router has reset its MAC layer.
• Sync Lost—The number of times that the router has lost sync on the cable interface and the link has

• T1 Timeouts—The number of times that the router timed out waiting for a UCD message from the
CMTS.
• T2 Timeouts—The number of times that the router timed out waiting for a broadcast ranging
response from the CMTS.
• T3 Timeouts—The number of times that the router timed out waiting for a ranging response from
the CMTS.
• T4 Timeouts—The number of times the router has reinitialized its MAC layer because it did not
receive a Periodic Ranging opportunity from the CMTS.
• Range Aborts—The number of times that the CMTS has instructed the router to abort a ranging
attempt, typically because of excessive ranging or excessive power levels.
