CMTS Shenanigans
Here we have a Cisco uBR7223 cable modem termination system, this is the piece of equipment alongside the required RF stuff that provides service to modems over a CATV network. This is built on the same platform as the very successful 7200 routers, this specific model is the smaller unit in the series as the uBR7246 and uBR7246VXR also were made. Similar format to my previous video on the Cisco 6015, just showing the basics on how it is set up and working, I'll eventually be putting together a network with this alongside some of my other old equipment and making a demonstration on it all. If anyone out there has experience with the Arris TM502g or similar telephony modems I'd appreciate a...

      Got the whole unit (apart from the unused at the time "MATRIX" card) alongside it's modems as a lot, had the seller leave out the power supply and cabinet to make shipping costs reasonable. The channel assignments and system ID are burned into the U48 EPROM on the CSC board, but pretty much all the other configurations of the controller are done over the CSC's serial terminal interface. Whenever I get around to working on this again (time and motivation is hard...) I'll go over how to configure it and the rest of the setup in better detail.

Then just open up Putty, change the mac address and tell it what config file to download, and free internet! Docsis3 and encrypted configs killed that. 😢😢

    16:59 What I would start with and I didn't really hear you say if you did this or not... You do have a domain listed in the config file yes.. However, did you set the A records from your domain hosting provider to your homes public IP? then open ports and forward them to the CMTS local ip from your home router / ISP modem. This could also be the cause for a few issues. The modems are trying to ping to a domain, and continue to be left with no response to download the config from the CMTS, which would also not be helpful trying to obtain a public ip from the CMTS network. That is where I would start with hopefully thats a fix for you.

    Thank you, good demo. I got my CCNP back in the early 2000s and I was surprised that CMTS snd DOCSIS were barely covered. The study material and exams spent a lot of time beating on ISDN and ISO networking. Most of the exams were pretty easy, but I saved routing for last. On all the exams up to that point, they would say “Congratulations, you passed your exam,” at the end. The routing exam had two configuration simulations and one was buggy so I had to click done and move on. Time ran out as I was answering the last question. At the end, all it said was “you completed this exam.” I assumed I flunked and walked away dejected, but the lady in charge came running, “Don’t you want your certificate?” I never worked in a large enough environment mor had a complex enough home lab that I believed I had enough hands-on experience to get through the lab based part CCIE exam. I was able to do all the practice I needed for the CCNP using a 24 port Catalyst switch and a 1711 security router. My employer was satisfied with CCNP so I left it at that.

      @@KJ7BZC Thanks for the reply. I got my Cisco certification when I was between jobs. It was a good way to stay current. I know Cisco has branched out with some additional certification tracks, but I haven’t stayed up to date. My background was mainly the data side, but I did a little bit with the smaller Cisco PBX units (forget the model number at the moment) to distribute 23B+D ISDN primary into an IP phone network. The PBX configuration was pretty straight forward and auto configured many parameters. There was also a pretty good GUI management console which was simple enough for less experienced personnel to perform move/change updates. I also had some experience with Cisco modem banks for providing dial-up access fed from CAS T-1. The older units were actually US Robotics racks with 24 56K modems and Cisco router cards approximately like a 2600 router in them. Likewise, the documentation on Cisco TAC for those wasn’t too good. I’ve never worked in the CATAV industry, so it was very interesting to get an introduction to the hardware. My home landline is via a cable company Arris box separate from the cable modem. The boot-up is somewhere around three minutes. I don’t know much about the technology, which I assume is VOIP. The telephony appears to be a separate network though it shares the same distribution infrastructure. I have been impressed with the call quality because there is very little audio delay and in the 11 years I’ve had the service, I’ve never heard a s stutter or drop-out which belies it may be VOIP service. The acid test is that it is suitable for fax transmissions. The business I worked for decided to move from Centrex to owning its telephony infrastructure. AT&T tried to sell VOIP delivered over commodity Internet and call quality was inferior. We decided to use ISDN pri circuits from Level3.

    Wow, never thought I'd see a working UBR 72xx again. I remember back in the day when we upgraded to VXR chassis' and had US/DS cards with built in upconverters (MC28u if memory serves?) Anyway, I wonder if your downstream speed issue has something to do with the DS freq you're using. I have no idea how the tuner in a modem will behave if your center freq isn't aligned to a proper EIA 6mhz wide channel. Try moving to a properly aligned channel like 633mhz, 639, 645, etc... For the upstream, if I remember correctly the default config is only a 1.6mhz wide channel at QPSK modulation, you need to configure 3.2mhz wide channel and a QAM16 modulation profile in order to get the max speed that the hardware can do which is in the neighborhood of 10Mbps. 2.5Mbps sounds about right for 1.6/QPSK. Going to 3.2 should get you 5Mbps and then QAM16 would double you again to 10Mbps. I probably have some old configs stashed away somewhere, let me know if you need any help and I can dig something out of the archives.

A smart bot can see the request is from an APC device and put that stupid cookie in the response. It's a well known, static value. Even if people did change it, dhcp is unencrypted broadcast messages... you wrote the password on a whiteboard visible from the parking lot.) Cable modems don't need a special ("magic") DHCP server. They just demand a precise answer. Leave out an option, or format it in a way it doesn't like, and it may not work. The dhcp captures I have show modems only needing timezone, time server, bootfile (their configuration file), server IP (tftp server for the config), and packet-cable (option 177) It's possible they may require other bits from dhcp if they aren't in the config - like hostname and domain, which in my case is not coming from dhcp.
