多台CMTS设备下行频率的配置(国外英语资料) The CableModem system comprises a front-end device CMTS and user end equipment CableModem (CM), two devices connected by bidirectional HFC network, CMTS is as a front-end router, exchange between the hub and the CATV network connected devices, while the CM is through the CMTS and wide area network (Internet) connection. 1, CMTS working principle CMTS devices are generally placed at the front of the engine room, and the CM devices are managed and controlled through the CMTS board and the downlink port. The configuration of the HFC device can be completed through the Consol interface or the Ethernet interface. CMTS in the downlink direction is from the MAC (MediaAccessControl) chip data, through the QAM modulator, up converter, level adjustment, into the downlink channel. In the return direction, the QPSK/16QAM signal from CM is demodulated into the modulator after AGC, and the demodulated data is processed into the MAC chip. The MAC chip completes the functions defined by the MAC layer of the DOCSIS protocol and connects it to the computer via the PCI port. There are 100BaseT Fast Ethernet to realize CMTS connection with the router and server are inserted in the CMTS host. The overall block diagram of the CMTS is shown in figure 1. Each CM needs to be registered at the front end before use and form a configuration file on the TFTP server. A configuration file for an CM containing the hardware address of the device for identifying different devices. After CM power work, first of all, to automatically search the downlink frequency of the front-end CMTS, after finding the downlink frequency, determine the uplink channel from the downlink data, establish a connection with the front-end CMTS, and exchange information. These include uplink level values, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and small file transfer protocol (TFTP) servers, IP addresses, and so on. After establishing the channel between CMTS and CM, you can use SNMP (Simple Netw
