5.1.3 Upgrading Manually by Setting SNMP Parameters

1. Acquire the rmware and CVC les for your IDH4 Series from Alpha Technologies.

2. Import the CVC into the modem’s DOCSIS Conguration File (to create a Conguration File,

see Section 3.2).

3. Set the following MIB parameters using an SNMP MIB browser. For additional information

regarding the SNMP MIB parameters, refer to the table in Section 5.1.2., "Modem Firmware

Upgrade SNMP Parameters".

The rmware upgrade will begin immediately. Monitor the upgrade status with the

docsDevSwOperStatus MIB parameter, and verify the rmware version with the

docsDevSwCurrentVers MIB parameter (refer to Table 5-1, "Modem Firmware Upgrade SNMP

by adding the following docsDevSoftware SNMP parameters and the manufacturer’s Code
