Supplemental
Information
RCP reporting is part of the algorithm used by the C4 CMTS to assign RCC (Receive Channel Configurations) to cable modems. If
verbose reporting of RCPs is enabled, CMs send their full Receive Channel Profiles to the C4 CMTS. If it is not enabled (non-verbose
RCP reporting), then CMs send only their RCP IDs. If the C4 CMTS does not recognize a particular RCP ID, it uses a standard DOCSIS-
defined RCP for that modem instead. Dynamic RCC channel assignments must operate with hard-coded RCPs because there are no
RCP MIBs to support them. Conforming verbose RCPs must satisfy these criteria:
Nx1 receive channel configuration where all receive channels connect to a single receive module
NxN receive channel configuration with receive channel connectivity:
Rx channel 1 -> Rx Module 1
Rx channel 2 -> Rx Module 2
Rx channel 3 -> Rx Module 3
Rx channel N -> Rx Module N
They do not require common PHY parameter checks
They do not specify multiple frequency blocks per module
They do not specify any module-to-module connectivity requirements
They do not support module resequencing subset limitations
They do not specify the receive channel connected offset parameter (RCC Encodings Type 48.5.3)
By default RCP reporting is set to non-verbose. To disable verbose reporting, use the no option.
