configuration.
2.

Modify the downstream port information to reflect the new 32D DS port-to-connector mapping
b.
Add and configure the additional 16 downstreams per CAM
c.
Configure US supervision as appropriate

Upgrading All 16D CAMs in the Chassis to XD CAMs by Reprovisioning the Entire Chassis
This procedure assumes that you have ordered the upgrade kits and have received your XD CAM license keys for all the
16D CAMs in the chassis. It also assumes that you have prepared a complete running-config file that will redefine this
chassis for use with XD CAMs. For this procedure you will need serial port access.
