2-52 Riverstone Networks RS 8000/8600 Switch Router Getting Started Guide
Hardware Overview Introduction
Figure 2-38 Cable Modem Termination Service (CMTS) 6-port line card
Table 2-49 lists the media specifications for the CMTS line cards:
Table 2-50 explains the CMTS line card LEDs:

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.
