and related specifications. This is explained through the rest of this Section.

5.7.6.3 Feature Limitations
Although provisioning the Comtrend uses the same GUI panels as other CPE devices, there are limitations because certain
features supported on the NMS are not supported on the Comtrend CPE, and this affects the provisioning process and tools
that are used, detailed in 5.7.6.4.
