Configuring MAC Interfaces
A Media Access Control (MAC) interface is a logical interface implemented
within hardware and software. MAC contains one downstream and four
upstream channels. Frequencies are assigned for each of the downstream
and upstream channels.
Before You Begin
Before you configure MAC interfaces, follow this procedure:
1. Navigate to Network Browser > GroupName > ChassisName > Cuda
Chassis Manager > Configuration > CMTS > Interfaces.
2. Click the Interfaces tab. The Interfaces window appears.
3. Select the CMTS interface that you wish to configure.
4. Click the MAC tab. The MAC window appears. Use this window to
configure the CMTS MAC interface.
MAC Interface Parameters
MAC Interface Parameters are used to initialize the CMTS module. This
means that, in addition to saving a configuration on the Cuda 12000
management module, configuration changes must also be applied to the
CMTS physical module.To reset a module, refer to Chapter 9, “Module
Administration”.
WARNING: MAC parameters affect the performance of the CMTS. It is
recommended that configuration is done by an expert-level
administrator.
To configure the MAC interface parameters, follow this procedure:
1. In the MAC window, click the Parameters tab. The Parameters window
appears.
2. Enter values for the parameters. Refer to Table 18-2.
3. Click Apply to commit the information or click Reset to return to the
default values.
