Note: The C4c CMTS requires one Router Control Module (RCM). To use the RCM customers must order an ethernet
interface. You may choose either a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) or a 10G Small Form-factor Pluggable (XFP) to be
used with the RCM. For more information, see SFP and XFP Ethernet Interfaces.
Unpacking the C4c CMTS
CAUTION: Installation requires more than one person.
When unpacking the C4c CMTS, use the following steps and checklist:
Inspect the shipping crate before removing the unit. If there is evidence of damage to the crate upon receipt, request
an agent of the carrier to be present before removing the C4c CMTS.
Ensure the crate is right side up. Open crate and carefully remove the packaged unit inside. Then remove the
protective foam from the unit. Do not discard any optional items which are typically packed in small boxes set in the
packing foam.
Remove the remaining contents of the crate. Front and rear modules are shipped in separate cartons, unless you
ordered a configured chassis. In a configured chassis modules are shipped in their slots.
Check the packing slip and verify its contents. If an entire C4c CMTS is ordered, it typically ships with the following
items. Use the checklist provided below to verify that the required items are present.
