HW Option Descriptions
The ONX currently reports the following HW options to StrataSync. Hardware options are used to
help identify the hardware capabilities of the ONX.
1. DOCSIS 3.0 HW capable – this option identifies that the ONX has the hardware
necessary to accomplish a DOCSIS 3.0 connection. ONX that report this option do not
have the hardware necessary to perform a DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM connection.
2. DOCSIS 3.1 HW capable – this option identifies that the ONX has the hardware
necessary to perform a DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM connection.
3. Low Diplexer – this option specifies the low triplexer frequency range (e.g. 42 – 1002
MHz.)
4. High Diplexer – this option specifies the high triplexer frequency range (e.g. 85 – 1002
MHz).
5. INGRESS SCAN RANGE 4-110 MHz – This option specifies that the port 2 ingress scan
has the range 4 – 110 MHz
6. INGRESS SCAN RANGE 4-204 MHz – This option specifies that the port 2 ingress scan
has the range 4 – 204 MHz.
7. Sweep Capable – This option identifies that the ONX has the hardware necessary to
perform forward and reverse sweep measurements.

8. DOCSIS 3.0 Euro BPI+ Certs – This option indicates that DOCSIS 3.0 Euro BPI+ Certs
have been successfully deployed to the ONX.
9. MoCA 2.0 Bonding Capability – This option indicates that the ONX has the hardware
necessary to perform MoCA 2.0 bonding.
10. MoCA 2.0 Capability – This option indicates that the ONX has the hardware necessary
to perform MoCA 2.0 (bonding not supported).
11. WiFi Country – This option reports the two letter WiFi country code that the meter is
currently configured to use.
12. WiFi Region – This option reports the configured WiFi region (FCC/IC or ETSI).
13. Port 2 Clamping – This option indicates the presence of a clamping diode on port 2.
14. HL Leakage Capable – This option indicates that the ONX has the hardware necessary
to perform HL Leakage.
15. Field View Capable – This option indicates that the ONX has the hardware necessary to
perform Field View.
16. Large Flash – This option indicates which flash part is on the module.
17. Digital Hum Capable – This option indicates that the ONX has the hardware necessary
to perform Digital Hum Measurements.
18. Atypical EEPROM – This option indicates that you might want to call TAC.

Upgrade Management for Releases 1.0 and 2.1
Please use the following procedure when updating the firmware on your OneExpert CATV if it is
running any version prior to 2.0.655. This procedure can be used for newer releases also.
1.
2.
3.
On the OneExpert CATV meter:
a. Power on your meter, connect it to power and/or make sure it has greater than 50%
battery.
b. Open the Network application that is under the System group at the bottom of the
page.
i. Do not open the Ethernet application. If you do, please reboot and start over.
(1.0.0 and 1.0.1 only)
c. Verify that you have a valid IP address. You may have to press the "Ethernet" button
(soft key 2) at the bottom of the screen to enable the network connection.
i. If your IP address starts with 192.168.0.*, you may have difficulties with
downloading the file. We recommend either of the following:
1. Reconfigure the modem/router to use anything but 192.168.0.*
2. Perform upgrade via USB with no cable attached to either Ethernet
port. If you perform the upgrade via USB, be sure to cancel the
upgrade in StrataSync or it will attempt to upgrade your meter again
on next sync.
d. Once you have a valid IP address, press the home button.
On StrataSync:
a. Deploy the desired SW update to your meter from StrataSync.
On the OneExpert CATV:
a. Open the StrataSync application that is under the System group at the bottom of the
page.
b. Start a Sync, the meter should prompt you to "Click OK to accept the update", accept
the update and allow the meter to upgrade.
i. If the meter does not prompt you to “Click OK to accept the upgrade”,
redeploy the upgrade from StrataSync and Sync again.
c. The ONX will automatically power off when the upgrade completes successfully.
Caution against Downgrade
The OneExpert CATV applications will not work if you downgrade from this release to any version
prior to 2.2.86. Appropriate use of StrataSync generally prevents downgrading the meter. If you
downgrade the OneExpert CATV and it doesn’t work as desired, please upgrade it back to this
release or later to restore normal operation. We recommend that you not downgrade your
OneExpert CATV.
If your meter has the DOCSIS 3.1 HW capable and the Port 2 Clamping hardware options, then
attempts to downgrade to versions to earlier than 3.4.8 or 3.4.11 will probably fail. Your meter will
be unusable until you re-upgrade to release 3.4.17 or newer. It will likely require two attempts to
successfully upgrade your meter back to this release should you decide to disregard this warning.
If your meter has the Sweep Capable hardware option and doesn’t have the Large Flash
hardware option, the ONX will become useless if it is downgraded to any software image earlier
than 3.10.4. It will likely require two attempts to successfully upgrade your meter back to this
release should you decide to disregard this warning.

Build 4.0.21 Release Notes
ONX-610 / ONX-620 / ONX-630
If you downgrade a meter from 3.17.x to an earlier revision, work order data may be lost and
permanently consume file system space until you re-upgrade to 3.17.x or later. You can avoid this
by performing a manual purge prior to performing the downgrade.
