Upstream
inputs
RG-6/u or RG-59/u with male F-type connector per
(IPS-SP-406) common with the input
To connect the upstream to the laser receiver, use a
2-way splitter as a combiner to leave the RS
8000/8600 CMTS line card cable access router
connected at the headend, and connect the upstream
headend cable to the laser receiver.
Adjust the upstream input level to the RS 8000/8600
CMTS module using the Riverstone software running
on your router so the output of the laser receiver is the
same as the input to your upstream port on your RS
8000/8600 CMTS line card.
IF DS
Downstream
output
RG-6/u or RG-59/u with male F-type connector per
(IPS-SP-406) common with the input
The downstream output of the CMTS line card is 44
MHz IF (intermediate frequency) with an output
rating of +30 dBmV (+/-2 dBmV).
To be compatible with cable television system
frequency division multiplexing, use an external
IF-to-RF upconverter that translates the IF signal
from the RS 8000/8600 CMTS line card to the desired
RF carrier frequency.
