Site Log

---

A site log provides a historical record of all actions relevant to the CMTS operation and maintenance. Keep your site log in a common place near the chassis where anyone who performs tasks has access to it. Site log entries might include the following:

•Installation progress—Make a copy of the Installation Checklist and insert it into the site log. Make entries on the Installation Checklist as each procedure is completed.

•Upgrades and removal/replacement procedures—Use the site log as a record of system maintenance and expansion history. Each time a procedure is performed on the system, update the site log to reflect the following:

–Port adapters installed, removed, or replaced

–Power supply removed or replaced

–Chassis replaced

–Configuration changed; port adapters or cable modem cards moved

–Software upgraded

–Corrective maintenance procedures performed

–Intermittent problems

–Related comments

Table E-1 shows a sample site log page. Make copies of the sample or design your own site log to meet the needs of your site and equipment.
