Prerequisites for Extended Upstream Frequency Ranges

•The Cisco CMTS router must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BC2 or later.

•The North American upstream frequency range (DOCSIS, 5 MHz to 42 MHz) is supported on all Cisco CMTS routers and all cable interfaces.

•The European upstream frequency range (EuroDOCSIS, 5 MHz to 65 MHz) is supported on the following platforms and cable interfaces:

–Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers

–Cisco uBR7246VXR router with the Cisco uBR-MC16E, Cisco uBR-MC16U/X, or Cisco uBR-MC28U/X cable interface line cards.

–Cisco uBR10012 router with the Cisco uBR-LCP2-MC16E or Cisco uBR-MC5X20U cable interface line cards.

•The Japanese extended upstream frequency range (5 MHz to 55 MHz) is supported on the following platforms and cable interfaces:

–Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers

–Cisco uBR7246VXR router with the Cisco uBR-MC16E, Cisco uBR-MC16U/X, or Cisco uBR-MC28U/X cable interface line cards.

–Cisco uBR10012 router with the Cisco uBR-LCP2-MC16E or Cisco uBR-MC5X20U cable interface line cards.

•The cable physical plant must be configured with upconverters, filters, and other equipment that supports the desired frequency range and DOCSIS modes of operation.

Restrictions for Extended Upstream Frequency Ranges

•The RF modulation format should be configured for ITU J.112 Annex A for EuroDOCSIS operations, and for ITU J.83 Annex B for DOCSIS and Japanese operations. While it is possible to configure the modulation format differently, we do not recommend this because it violates the DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS specifications.

•The ITU J.83 Annex C specification is not supported.

•You cannot configure the router for a particular frequency range if an upstream or spectrum group on the router is currently configured for a frequency that is invalid for the new range. If you try to do so, the command is ignored and a warning message is printed prompting you to reconfigure the upstream or spectrum group before retrying the command.

Information About Extended Upstream Frequency Ranges

The original Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) specified a range of downstream and upstream frequencies that were compatible only with the North American National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) channel plans.Those specifications have been enhanced to provide support for other cable systems.

Frequency Ranges Currently in Use

Table 1 lists the specifications that are commonly used in cable plants at the current time:

Extended Frequency Support for Downstreams

All current Cisco cable interface line cards support downstream frequencies between 54 MHz and 860 MHz, which is a superset of the DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS downstream frequency range. This allows those cards to automatically support the extended downstream frequency range of Japanese networks, assuming that the appropriate upconverters, filters, and other supporting equipment is also installed in the cable plant.

Extended Frequency Support for Upstreams

To support the different upstream frequency ranges, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BC2 introduces a new command, cable freq-range, which configures the Cisco CMTS router for the maximum allowable range of frequencies that can be used on the router. This command makes these frequencies available only for those cable interfaces that support them.

Tip The cable freq-range command is not normally needed except to enable EuroDOCSIS operations on the Cisco uBR-MC16U/X and Cisco uBR-MC28U/X cards. However, it can be used in other situations to ensure that the other cable upstream commands do not allow frequencies outside of the desired range.

Support for the different frequency ranges depends on the cable interfaces being used:

•Cisco uBR-MC16E cable interface line card and the Cisco uBR7111E/7114E routers—Support the EuroDOCSIS frequency range, which is the default mode of operation.

•Cisco uBR-MC16U/X, Cisco uBR-MC28U/X, and Cisco uBR-MC5X20U cable interface line cards—Support the Japanese extended frequency range and the EuroDOCSIS frequency range, and the Japanese range is the default mode of operation.

•All other cable interfaces—Support the DOCSIS frequency range, which is the default mode of operation.

If a cable interface card does not support the frequency range that is configured with the cable freq-range command, a warning message is displayed. The card interface card, however, can continue to be used with its normal set of frequencies.

For example, consider the case where a Cisco uBR7246VXR router has a Cisco uBR-MC16C card and a Cisco uBR-MC28U card installed. By default, the Cisco uBR-MC16C card supports the DOCSIS frequency range, and the Cisco uBR-MC28U supports the Japanese frequency range. If you configure the router to support the EuroDOCSIS frequency range, only the Cisco uBR-MC28U card supports the extra downstream and upstream frequencies. The Cisco uBR-MC16C card, however, can continue to be used with the regular DOCSIS frequencies.

How to Configure the Upstream Frequency Range

To configure a Cisco CMTS router to use a particular range of upstream frequencies, use the following procedures:

•Configuring DOCSIS Upstream Frequencies

•Configuring Extended DOCSIS Upstream Frequencies for Japan

•Configuring EuroDOCSIS Upstream Frequencies

Note You do not need any special configuration to be able to use the extended range of downstream frequencies that is used in Japanese networks, because all currently-supported Cisco cable interface line cards support a superset (54 MHz to 860 Mhz) of the DOCSIS frequencies that include the Japanese range.

Configuring DOCSIS Upstream Frequencies

To configure one or more upstreams with a frequency in the valid DOCSIS range of 5 MHz to 42 MHz, use the following procedure.

Tip This procedure typically is not needed, because by default all cable interfaces support the DOCSIS frequency range. However, you might want to use this procedure for the Cisco uBR-MC16U/X and Cisco uBR-MC28U/X cable interface line cards to specify that these cards use a narrower DOCSIS frequency filter that would filter out any noise in the frequencies above 42 MHz, which might improve RF performance on some cable plants.

Prerequisites

All Cisco CMTS platforms and cable interfaces support the North American range of upstream frequencies.

Restrictions

All cable interfaces in the router must be using the North American upstream frequency range.

Any upstreams that are currently configured for frequencies greater than 42 MHz must be reconfigured to use a lower frequency, using the cable upstream frequency interface command, before beginning this procedure.

Configuring Extended DOCSIS Upstream Frequencies for Japan

To configure one or more upstreams with a frequency in the extended Japanese frequency range of 5 MHz to 55 MHz, use the following procedure.

Note This procedure is not typically needed, because all of the cable interfaces listed in the Prerequisites section support the extended upstream frequency ranges in their default configuration. However, if you have configured a Cisco uBR-MC16U/X or Cisco uBR-MC28U/X card as described in the "Configuring DOCSIS Upstream Frequencies" section, you must use this procedure to re-enable the extended frequency range.

Prerequisites

The Japanese upstream frequency range (5 MHz to 55 MHz) is supported on the following platforms and cable interfaces:

•Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers

•Cisco uBR7246VXR router with the Cisco uBR-MC16E, Cisco uBR-MC16U/X, or Cisco uBR-MC28U/X cable interface line cards.

•Cisco uBR10012 router with the Cisco uBR-LCP2-MC16E or Cisco uBR-MC5X20U cable interface line cards.

Restrictions

All cable interfaces in the router must be using either the North American or the Japanese upstream frequency range.

Any upstreams that are currently configured for EuroDOCSIS, using frequencies greater than 55 MHz must be reconfigured for a lower frequency, using the cable upstream frequency interface command, before beginning this procedure.

Step 3 

cable freq-range japanese

Example:

Router(config)# cable freq-range japanese

Router(config)#

Configures the Cisco CMTS router for the extended upstream frequency range (5 MHz to 55 MHz) that is used in Japanese cable networks.

Note This command will fail if any upstreams are currently configured with frequencies greater than 55 MHz. Use the cable upstream frequency command to reconfigure these upstreams for a lower frequency and then re-enter this command.

Step 4 

interface cable {x/y | x/y/z}

Example:

Router(config)# interface cable 3/0

Router(config-if)#

Enters interface cable configuration mode for the specified cable interface.

Step 5

Step 6 

cable upstream n frequency frequency

Example:

Router(config-if)# cable upstream 0 frequency 32000000

Router(config-if)#

Configures the upstream for the desired frequency in Hertz. The valid range for n starts with 0 and depends on the number of upstream ports for this downstream. The valid range for frequency is 5000000 to 55000000.

Note Repeat this command for each upstream port for this downstream.

Step 7 

exit

Example:

Router(config-if)# exit

Router(config)#

Exits interface configuration mode.

Step 8 

exit

Example:

Router(config)# exit

Router#

Exits global configuration mode.

Configuring EuroDOCSIS Upstream Frequencies

To configure one or more upstreams with a frequency in the valid EuroDOCSIS range of 5 MHz to 65 MHz, use the following procedure.

Tip This command is not normally needed with the Cisco UBR-MC5X20U cable interface line card, because by default it supports upstream frequencies up to 65 MHz. However, if you have used one of the previous procedures, Configuring DOCSIS Upstream Frequencies or Configuring Extended DOCSIS Upstream Frequencies for Japan, to limit the frequency range, you must use this procedure to re-enable the EuroDOCSIS frequency range.

Prerequisites

The European upstream frequency range (EuroDOCSIS, 5 MHz to 65 MHz) is supported on the following platforms and cable interfaces:

•Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers

•Cisco uBR7246VXR router with the Cisco uBR-MC16E, Cisco uBR-MC16U/X, or Cisco uBR-MC28U/X cable interface line cards.

•Cisco uBR10012 router with the Cisco uBR-LCP2-MC16E or Cisco uBR-MC5X20U cable interface line cards.

Configures the Cisco CMTS router for the EuroDOCSIS upstream frequency range (5 MHz to 65 MHz).

Step 4 

interface cable {x/y | x/y/z}

Example:

Router(config-if)#

Enters interface cable configuration mode for the specified cable interface.

Step 5 

cable downstream annex a

Example:

Router(config-if)# cable downstream annex a

Router(config-if)#

Configures the downstream for the Annex A (ITU J.112) RF mode, which is used in EuroDOCSIS networks.

Note You must configure the downstream for Annex A for EuroDOCSIS operations. You can configure certain cable interface cards (such as the Cisco uBR-MC28U) for both Annex B (DOCSIS) and the EuroDOCSIS frequency range, but this violates the DOCSIS specifications and should not be used on standard DOCSIS networks.

Step 6 

cable upstream n frequency frequency

Example:

Exits global configuration mode.

Configuration Examples for Extended Upstream Frequency Ranges

This section provides the following examples of sample configurations for the cable interface:

•North American (DOCSIS) Frequency Range Configuration Example

•European (EuroDOCSIS) Frequency Range Configuration Example

•Japanese Frequency Range Configuration Example

North American (DOCSIS) Frequency Range Configuration Example

The following excerpt from a configuration file for the Cisco uBR7246VXR router shows a Cisco uBR-MC28U card and a Cisco uBR-MC16U card being configured for the default DOCSIS upstream frequency range of 5 MHz to 42 MHz. This frequency spectrum is allocated across two spectrum groups. Also, each downstream is configured for the DOCSIS Annex B mode.

Note The cable freq-range north-american command is not needed for this configuration, but using the command filters out the upstream frequencies above 42 MHz, which could be useful if noise is occurring in those frequencies.

Japanese Frequency Range Configuration Example

The following excerpt from a configuration file for the Cisco uBR7246VXR router shows a Cisco uBR-MC28U card and two Cisco uBR-MC16U cards being configured for the Japanese extended upstream frequency range of 5 MHz to 55 MHz. This frequency spectrum is allocated across three spectrum groups. Also, each downstream is configured for the DOCSIS Annex B mode.
