Verification Steps
This section provides the procedures to complete the bring-up of your system.
Cable CAMs and RCM
In this step, the Operator needs to connect the cables to the CAMs, RCM, and SCM if out of band management is
configured. In this example, a single cable from the 16D PIC connected to connector 1 will be cabled to provide service to
nodes 1-4. Another 4 cables will be connected to the first four connectors on the 12U PIC on the rear of the chassis. These
individual upstreams will then be connected individually to four nodes.
Configure/Verify Back Office Systems
The provisioning servers and other Back Office servers and data collectors should be configured to allow for the first
modem to receive IP and CM configurations.
Since different offices use various provisioning servers and environments, this procedure is specific for each customer and
is site dependent.
Verify the CMTS Configuration
A number of commands can be used to verify the installation and configuration of the system at this point.
Verify the slot provisioning by entering the following command to show the slot provisioning:
show linecard status
