CHAPTER 2

Connection Screen.

This chapter describes important system information presented on the connection status screen. This information is useful for debugging the connection between your P-971M and the cable operator. The DOCSIS 2.0 specification may be needed as aid for clarification.

2.1 Connection Screen Overview

After logging in to your P-971M you will see the connection screen. The connection screen shows the results of the hardware negotiation between the P-971M and your CMTS.

As shown in figure Figure 5 on page 25, the connection screen presents information in four sections: Procedure, Downstream Channel Upstream Channel, and CM IP Address. The fields in each section are summarized in table Table 1 on page 27. All of the information in the connection screen is read-only and/or calculated after the successful download of the configuration file, and the negotiation of upstream/downstream channel parameters with the cable operator’s CMTS.
