Hardware Support
This release provides the following hardware support.

Supports ARRIS® Media Gateway/Media Player hardware.

Supports an Ethernet interface to CPE.

Supports a MoCA interface to CPE. (Multimedia over Coax Alliance)

Supports an eSATA interface to external hard drives.

Supports 8 DOCSIS 3.0 Downstreams and 4 DOCSIS 3.0 upstreams.

Supports two lines of telephony.
Telephony Functionality
The firmware provides the following telephony-related functionality and support:

Supports access to 911 (emergency), 411 (directory), 311 (non-emergency), and 611
(repair) services.

Dial pulse support for all eMTAs at 20pps ±2pps for networks using either GR-303
gateways (patent pending) or soft switches.

Support for dialup fax and modem connections, disabling echo cancelation upon detecting
fax or modem start tones.

An adaptive jitter buffer minimizes voice delay based on network conditions.

Supports KDC ticket caching for lower outage recovery times.

Selectable sinusoidal or trapezoidal ringing wave forms to compensate for CPE
incompatibility.

SNMP3, IPsec, and encrypted voice traffic as required by PacketCable specifications

Supports RFC 2833 (DTMF relay) functionality, a method for carrying DTMF and other
telephony signals and events in RTP packets, instead of sending audio tones over the
network.
For NCS loads, the MTA signals RFC 2833 support by specifying “telephone-event” in the
list of available CODECs during negotiation. For SIP loads, add “telephone-event” to the
end of the
sipEndPntConfigCodecTable .

Fully NCS compliant.

SIP signaling protocol support (available through a specific SIP firmware load).

Supports PacketCable Multimedia QoS for interoperability testing and lab trials.

End-to-end DQoS, providing an added layer of authentication, as well as DSx DQoS
support.
Provisioning Functionality
The firmware provides a variety of provisioning options and functionality as follows:

Full PacketCable provisioning with SNMP3 Network Management capabilities.
