Connecting and Configuring the Upstream
Connecting and Configuring the Upstream
The following sections describe how to connect and configure the upstream for digital data.
Connecting the Upstream to the Optical Receiver
To connect the upstream to the optical receiver, use a 2-way splitter as a combiner to leave the
Cisco uBR900 series access router connected at the headend, and connect the upstream headend cable
to the optical receiver. (See
Figure 4-34
.)
The default upstream input level to the Cisco uBR7200 series cable interface line card is 0 dBmV. You
may adjust the upstream input level to other values using the Cisco IOS software running on your router.
The Cisco uBR7200 series router uses automatic power control when transmitting to remote
cable modems. Accurately setting the power level helps to ensure reliable cable modem operation.
Table 4-1
provides upstream input power ranges for the various cable interface cards available for the
Cisco uBR7200 series router, depending on the channel bandwidth you are using.
Note
If you have a Cisco MC16x cable interface card (six upstream ports and one downstream port) installed
in your Cisco uBR7200 series router, the 2-way splitter described above would be replaced by six 2-way
splitters (one splitter per upstream port). This would enable you to connect to all of the available
upstream ports on the Cisco MC16x.
