Overview
This chapter discusses the configuration of the logical components that allow the C4/c CMTS to provide service to the
subscriber side of the system.
Once the Cable Access Modules (CAMs) and their channels have been configured, the C4/c CMTS must then be configured
to use these channels.
Note: For cable-side configuration to begin, it is assumed that the slots for all the operational CAMs have previously been
configured. If not, refer to Bring-up Procedures for specifics. Additional information on provisioning the CAM cards can be
found in the Downstream Cable Access Module (DCAM) and Upstream Cable Access Module (UCAM) chapters.
