MC16 Modem Card for uBR7200
Feature Summary
This feature describes the new functionality provided by the MC16 modem card.
Benefits
This feature extends the usability of the uBR7200-class of routers.
Platforms
This feature is supported on the Cisco uBR7200-class of routers.
Prerequisites
Complete the basic configuration of the Cisco uBR7246 as described in the Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router Features feature module.
Supported MIBs and RFCs
The Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband features support the RF Interface Management Information Base (MIB). For descriptions of supported MIBs and how to use MIBs, see Cisco's MIB website on CCO at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml. No RFCs are supported by this feature.
Configuration Tasks
The configuration tasks required by this version of the Cisco uBR7246 cable router are the same as those described in the Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router Installation and Configuration Guide and the Voice, Video, and Home Applications Configuration Guide.
Verify
The verification tasks required by this version of the Cisco uBR7246 cable router are the same as those described in the Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router Installation and Configuration Guide and the Voice, Video, and Home Applications Configuration Guide.
Note the following:
•
The controller must report being up.
•
The comparison of the number of errors versus the number of error-free packets is a measure of the link quality. The percentage of errors should be less than 1%.
Configuration Examples
Refer to the Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router Installation and Configuration Guide and the Voice, Video, and Home Applications Configuration Guide for configuration examples.

cable downstream modulation
To set the modulation rate for a downstream port on a cable modem card, use the cable downstream modulation cable interface configuration command:
cable downstream modulation {64qam | 256qam}
Syntax Description
64qam
Modulation is 6 bits per downstream symbol rate.
256qam
Modulation is 8 bits per downstream symbol rate.
Default
64qam.
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Downstream modulation defines the modulation type used for downstream traffic. Specifying the symbol rate indirectly influences the interface speed; at 64qam, the interface speed is 6xx bits/second. Specifying 256qam sets the interface speed to 8xx bits/second.
Example
The following example sets the downstream modulation:
Router(config)# interface cable 6/0Router(config-if)# cable downstream modulation 256qamcable downstream rate-limit
To enable Data Over Cable Services Interface Specification (DOCSIS) rate limiting on downstream traffic, use the cable downstream rate-limit interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable DOCSIS rate-limiting on downstream traffic.
cable downstream rate-limit [token-bucket | weighted-discard] exp-weight
no cable downstream rate-limitSyntax Description
Default
cable downstream rate-limit, which enforces strict DOCSIS-complaint rate limiting.
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(6)NA.When you enter this command without an option, it enables strict DOCSIS-compliant rate limiting, which sets the burst rate to the interface speed.
Example
The following example applies the token bucket filter algorithm:
Router(config-if)# cable downstream rate-limit token-bucketRelated Commands
cable upstream rate-limit
cable upstream admission-control
To specify the percentage overbooking rate, use the cable upstream admission-control interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable upstream admission control.
cable upstream portnum admission-control percentage
no cable upstream portnum admission-controlSyntax Description
portnum
Specifies the upstream port.
admission-control percentage
Limits overbooking. Valid values are from 100 to 10000 percent.
Default
Disabled.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(6)NA.
Example
The following example limits overbooking on upstream port 4 to 1000%:
Router(config-if)# cable upstream 4 admission-control 1000cable upstream minislot-size
To specify a minislot size, use the cable upstream minislot-size interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to set the default minislot size of 8 if this is valid for the current channel width setting.
cable upstream portnum minislot-size size
no cable upstream portnum minislot-sizeSyntax Description
Default
8.
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(6)NA.
CautionUsing values of 64 or 128 for higher symbol rates such as 1280 Ksymb/sec or 2560 Ksymb/sec can cause performance problems. Depending on your current setting's symbol rate, you should select the minislot size (in ticks) that yields a minislot size of 32 or 64 symbols.
Example
The following example sets the minislot size on upstream port 4 to 16 (or 256 symbols):
Router(config-if)# cable upstream 4 minislot-size 16cable upstream rate-limit
To set DOCSIS rate limiting for an upstream port on a cable modem card, use the cable upstream rate-limit interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable DOCSIS rate limiting for an upstream port on a cable modem card.
cable upstream portnum rate-limit [token-bucket]
no cable upstream portnum rate-limitSyntax Description
portnum
Specifies the upstream port.
token-bucket
(Optional) Applies the token bucket filter algorithm.
Default
Cable upstream portnum rate-limit, which enforces strict DOCSIS-compliant rate limiting.
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(6)NA.
Example
The following example uses the token bucket filter algorithm for upstream port 4:
Router(config-if)# cable upstream 4 rate-limit token-bucketRelated Commands

show interface cable
To display cable interface information, use the show interface cable privileged EXEC command:

Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(6)NA. You should read and understand the ATP documentation before using this command.
The ATP tests are organized into categories such as PHY, MP, MAC, and the like. Tests within each category are labeled PHY01, PHY02, ..., MAC01, MAC02, etc. If you run a test from the CLI, you can omit the leading zero in the test ID.
In this release, Cisco supports only a subset of all of the tests.
