Cisco uBR904 Cable Modem Installation Checklist

Site Log

Before installing the Cisco uBR904 cable modem, you should consider the power and cabling requirements that must be in place at the installation site, the equipment you will need to install the Cisco uBR904 cable modem, and the environmental conditions the installation site must meet to maintain normal operation. This chapter guides you through the process of preparing for the Cisco uBR904 cable modem installation.

Note The Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router installed at the cable headend must be properly configured to successfully install the Cisco uBR904 cable modem. Additional configuration information is downloaded from the Cisco uBR7246 to the Cisco uBR904 cable modem.

We highly recommend that a cable headend technician be available, or on-call, to assist you with troubleshooting Cisco uBR904 cable modem installations; especially during the early field installations. Contact your cable service provider for more information.
