Abstract
A method for determining a topology of a cable television (CATV) network segment, wherein the segment comprises a network node and a plurality of amplifiers in one or more branches of the segment, the method comprising steps of a) providing a first amplifier with instructions to adjust downstream signal level; b) monitoring changes of signal level or parameters of gain/slope alignment elements in one or more amplifiers in said segment, said changes being caused as a compensation to the first amplifier adjusting its downstream signal level; c) storing information about each of said one or more amplifiers changing their signal level or said parameters as a compensation to the first amplifier adjusting its downstream signal level; repeating steps a-c for all subsequent amplifiers in the segment; and determining the topology of the segment based on the information of amplifiers locating in downstream direction in respect to each amplifier.
