BPI Hybrid Mode Operation
Overview
BPI Hybrid Mode is a specific feature intended for a specific MSO. It supports certain models of cable modems that are
configured for DOCSIS 1.1 and are requesting BPI (but not BPI+) mode. Normally modems configured for DOCSIS 1.0 use
BPI and those configured for DOCSIS 1.1 use BPI+. The use of DOCSIS 1.1 and BPI is a hybrid mode operation.
This C4/c CMTS feature has been tested for operation with only the following two cable modems:
Toshiba PCX2200
3COM 3CR29221
Caution: This feature is not meant for general release. The C4/c CMTS does not normally support hybrid mode operation.
Turning on this feature without prior testing and approval from ARRIS will lead to unpredictable results and may cause
modems to reset or fail to register.
