We're a cable/broadband/mobile-transmission/etc company who has developed a full solution for management and monitoring of Docsis broadband networks.
For ToD we're using the internal UDP-server in Linux.
Just recently we installed the application on a 64bit machine (running Ubuntu server).
There seems to be a problem with the ToD-response, the Motorola CMs doesn't accept it.
I am trying to do an Image upgrade for a DOCSIS 1.1 Cable modem, I have set the following information in the config file for the cable modem to download the new image after reboot.
TFTP Server 10.1.1.1
Software FileName : sfot_189.img
After rebooting the modem the cable modem downloads the config file and comes online , but fails to download the firmware mentioned in the config file , instead it trows the following error.
Configuration File CVC Validation Failure.
Can someone help me sorting out this firmware upgrade issue.
Downstream Power (measured at the modem end)
Upstream Power (measured at the CMTS)
Signal to Noise ratio at both ends
Microreflections
FEC
and any other parameter that is vital for good instalation.
Since I am a new to the DOCSIS world, and have much to learn, it would be good if anyone would like share their practical experience in these matters.
I have set up a linux box with dhcp and tftp, and I am using docsis configurator to produce .bin files.
All of our modems have received this file, and everything works fine, but now I need to change configuration file to 2 of our modems. I need to change them so that they use different upstream port than the others.
Since they have our old config file in them, how do I tell them that they need to download a new config file ?
