For the sake of consistency the following procedures reuse the example configuration used with the Frequency Space
Diagram and Network plan.
A C4c CMTS with one 16D CAM, one 12U CAM, one RCM and one SCM is configured to serve a set of 4 optical nodes. Both
DOCSIS 2.0 and 3.0 CMs will be put into service. The DOCSIS 3.0 CMs are provisioned with IPv6 addresses, while the
DOCSIS 2.0 CMs obtain IPv4 addresses. All CPE are provisioned as IPv4 devices.

The C4c CMTS chassis has 8 slots that can be filled from top to bottom as follows:
Slot 15 (topmost slot) is provisioned for a 16D or an XD CAM
Slots 14 through 11 can be provisioned for 16D/XD or 12U CAMs (If slot 15 is a 16D, all other downstream CAMs must
be 16Ds; if slot 15 is an XD CAM, then all other downstream CAMs must be XDs.)
Slot 10 is provisioned for a 12U CAM
Slot 19 must be provisioned for an SCM
Slot 17 (bottom slot) must be provisioned for an RCM.
Note: The C4c CMTS can be equipped with all 2Dx12U CAMs, but does not support the use of 2Dx12U CAMs with any other
type of CAM in the same chassis. A mix of 16D and XD CAMs in the same chassis is not supported.
