Enhanced-Spectrum Management and Telephone Return for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Cable Router

This product and document are in development. Some portions of this document are not complete. This document will be revised as soon as the content is available.

Feature Overview

This feature module provides software support for telephone return in a cable-routed system. Telephone return in a cable environment is that part of the cable network which connects the subscriber's cable modem with the headend cable router over standard phone lines (as opposed to an all-cable network connecting the headend router with cable modems).

This document also supports spectrum management enhancements including already published feature modules describing per-modem filters and per-modem traffic-shaping capabilities. For more information on these previously published cable-related feature modules, see:

Benefits

Spectrum management enhancements improve system-wide throughput and increase efficiency of bandwidth utilization. Telephone (or telco) return allows Multi-Service Operators (MSOs) to support their cable subscribers without replacing existing hardware.

Configuration Tasks

Perform the following tasks to configure the features discussed in this document:

Configuring Enhanced Spectrum Management

To configure spectrum management, enter the following commands:

ubr7200#cable upstream <us> channel-width <channel-width1> <channel-width2>
ubr7200#cable upstream <us> modulation-profile <mod profile1> <mod profile2> 

Configuring Telco Return

Step 1 Boot the uBR7200 with the Telco-return bootflash image.

Step 2 Verify uBR7200 output power level and downstream/upstream transmission.

Step 3 Boot the Telco-return-return modems and verify modem registration.

Step 4 Verify that the uBR7200 can ping the Telco-return modems.

Verifying Telco Return Configuration

To verify that the subscriber modem can log into the CMTS in telco-return mode:

Step 1 Reboot the subscriber modem.

Step 2 Allow the subscriber modem to complete telco registration (will take several minutes).

Step 3 Enter the show cable modem command on the uBR cable router to verify that the subscriber modem is shown in the list. The letter "T" indicates that a modem is a telco-return modem.

Command Reference

This section documents new or modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 command references:

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T or later releases, you can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This functionality is useful when you need to sort through large amounts of output, or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see.

To use this functionality, enter a show or more command as follows:

command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression

See the following example of the show atm vc command where the command output begins with "PeakRate":

show atm vc | begin PeakRate

For more information on the search and filter functionality, see the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T feature module CLI String Search.

(Optional) Valid values are qpsk or qam16. Make sure this parameter is different from the first-choice-mod setting or it will be ignored. When used, this parameter enables modulation management algorithms.

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

Command History

Release Modification

12.0(4)XI

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The cable router first attempts to apply the modulation type specified in the first choice parameter. Then the cable router attempts to apply the modulation type specified in the second choice parameter. Whenever possible, the cable router tries to raise the modulation type to qam16.

Install the MC16S card to use this feature.

Examples

ubr7200(config-if)#cable upstream 3 modulation qpsk qam16

Field Description

Upstream Port

The upstream port for this information line.

Port Status

Lists the status of the port. Valid states are "down" if frequency is unassigned or "admindown" if the port is shut down. If the port is up, this column shows the center frequency of the channel.

Poll Rate

The rate that station maintenance polls are generated (in msec).

Missed Poll Count

The number of missing polls.

Min Poll Sample

The number of polls in the sample.

Missed PollPcnt

The ratio of missing polls to the number of polls, expressed as a percentage.

Hop Thres Pcnt

The level that the missed poll percentage must exceed to trigger a frequency hop, expressed as a percentage.

Hop Period

The maximum rate that frequency hopping will occur (in seconds).

Corr FEC Errors

The number of correctable FEC errors on this upstream port. Forward error corrections (FECs) measure noise.

Uncorr FEC Errors

The number of uncorrectable FEC errors on this upstream port.
