Release Notes for the CM 100 

1-2

305471-B Rev 02

Restrictions

The equipment has an international auto-ranging internal power supply 
which allows it to be powered from any 100–120, 220–240 VAC (50-60 
Hz) source.

UPGRADE RECOMMENDATIONS

• Read software upgrade “readme” file for latest released software 

upgrade information. 

• Use a standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manage-

ment station such as CastleRock’s SNMPc™.

• Have the network manager and TFTP file server residing on the same 

PC.

• Ensure the person that is performing the software upgrade is proficient in 

the operation and configuration of DOCSIS Cable Modems and Cable 
Modem Termination Systems.

Traffic should be minimal on the network during the upgrade process 
(including any automatic network management polling such as SNMPc™ 
Trend Watch and Auto Discover). After the upgrade has started, the 
process takes approximately one minute per cable modem or cable modem 
termination system. Network users should be notified that they will 
experience interruptions during the upgrade process.
