C4c CMTS Slot Diagram
For this configuration example, an SCM is installed in Slot 19 and an RCM in slot 17. Two CAMs are installed: a 16D CAM in
slot 15 and a 12U CAM in slot 10. Slots 14-11 can be used for 16D or 12U CAMs.
Note: If the operator chooses to use this C4c CMTS for DOCSIS 2.0 service only, slots 10-15 could all be equipped with
2Dx12U CAMs. If only 2Dx12U CAMs are being used, the slots can be equipped in any order.
Set Up Console Cable
The operator console is necessary to do the initial power up and configuring of the CMTS. An asynchronous terminal or a
PC with asynchronous terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerm or Teraterm, serves this purpose.
