Cisco Subscriber Registration Center (CSRC) is an integrated suite of software modules that allows large-scale configuration and management of broadband modems. Leveraging the extensibility of Cisco Network Registrar, CSRC enables and administers subscriber self-registration. The folder-enabled architecture of CSRC allows it to integrate with LDAP version 3 directory servers.
CSRC consists of the following software modules:
This guide does not discuss the installation and use of AR. For information about AR, see the AR documentation included in the CSRC installation kit.
