The show interface cable x/y upstream port # command is also enhanced to reflect the current state of
the new MAC scheduler for the specified upstream port as shown in the following example:
cmts# show interface cable 1/0 upstream 0
Cable1/0: Upstream 0 is up
Received 68 broadcasts, 0 multicasts, 20811 unicasts
0 discards, 99 errors, 0 unknown protocol
20879 packets input, 0 corrected, 0 uncorrectable
99 noise, 0 microreflections
Total Modems On This Upstream Channel : 2 (2 active)

The show interface sid command is also enhanced to display the type of SID—whether it is “Static”
versus “Dynamic”.
cmts# show interface cable x/y sid
You can optimize the physical layer parameters on an upstream channel. An example is provided for
physical layer parameters that can be used on the CMTS for upstream channels expected to support high
priority traffic density. These parameters minimize the physical layer overhead encountered for each
fixed sized (89 bytes) packet. The resulting fine tuning gives a direct improvement in the number of CBR
high priority connections that can be admitted on a single upstream channel.
Configure the following settings for the upstream channel to maximize the number of CBR
connections:
• Minislot size: 8
• Symbol rate: 1280 Ksymbols/sec
• Modulation type: QPSK
• Preamble length: 72 bits
• FEC (T bytes): 2 bytes
• FEC codeword length: 52 bytes
• Guard time: 8 symbols
• Last codeword: shortened last codeword
