Note – Changing the RF channel number is usually accompanied by changes to the HDTV channel numbers.
HDTVs can become confused if these changes are not done simultaneously. ZvCli requires turning off the RF
output while making these changes.
Example:
ZvCli$
set rf‐output off

ZvCli$
set rf‐channel 53

ZvCli$
set mpeg2 program video1 hdtv‐channel 53.1

Set Cable Plan
Establishes the cable channel plan to use for RF channel layout.
Syntax
set cable‐plan { standard |hrc | irc }
factory default: standard
ZvBox needs to know the plan layout so that it can properly convert the desired RF channel number into the
exact RF frequency to transmit. Several different layouts exist, although ‘standard’ seems to be the most
common.
If you are not sure of the cable plan in use in your deployment, run ‘system cable‐scan cable‐plan auto‐detect’.
It will tell you what cable plan is in use.
Example:
ZvCli$
set cable‐plan standard

Set RF Output Power
Sets the power level that ZvBox will use when broadcasting.
Syntax
set rf‐power {1‐lowest | 2‐low | 3‐medium | 4‐high | 5‐highest}
factory default: 5‐highest
The ZvBox has a maximum output power of +25 dBmV , matching the highest power levels typically entering a
home from providers such as FIOS and Comcast. When using a ZvBox to add a channel to an existing lineup, it is
important to match the power of existing channels, otherwise adjacent lower‐powered channels can be difficult
to tune with some televisions.
There are five choices available, each dropping the output power approximately 5 dBmV.
Example:
ZvCli$
set rf‐power 3‐medium
