Note When using DOCSIS concatenation with a 16-QAM or mixed symbol rate, configure the CMTS for
Unique Word 16 (“uw16”) in the preamble for both short and long data burst profiles.
Add the cable upstream port-number modulation-profile primary profile-number secondary
profile-number command to the appropriate interfaces. In this example, modulation-profile 2 is for
QAM-16 modulation and profile 1 is for QPSK modulation.

Input Power Level Examples
In the following example, the modem transmit power at 24.8 MHz is adjusted upstream by 1 dBmV and
the modem transmit power at 28.0 MHz is adjusted upstream by 2 dBmV.

Advanced Spectrum Management for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router
This section provides a typical configuration example for a Cisco uBR7200 series router using the
Cisco uBR-MC16S cable interface line card. This configuration does the following:
• Creates three spectrum groups with different frequency bands, hop periods, and hop thresholds.
• Creates two upstream modulation profiles, one for QPSK operation and one for QAM-16 operation,
by specifying the parameters for each burst type.
• Creates two upstream modulation profiles, one for QPSK operation and one for mixed
QPSK/QAM-16 operation, using the default profile options (qpsk and mix).
• Configures one upstream (port 5) on cable interface 3/0 to use spectrum group 3.
• Configures the upstreams with the primary modulation profile set to mixed QPSK/QAM-16
operation and the secondary modulation profile set for QPSK operation.
