Manage Cable Modems on the HFC Network
After you have completed upstream and downstream signal configuration, there are a number of
different things you can do to manage how your cable modems operate in the HFC network. You can
control access by forcing cable modems to authenticate with the Cisco uBR7246, allow only known
cable modems to send upstream data, move cable modems to different channels, and define a length
of time a cable modem can request a connection.

Note
The default values for the commands used in these configuration steps are, in most cases,
adequate to configure the Cisco uBR7246.
Activate Cable Modem Authentication
You can activate authentication so all cable modems must return a known text string to register with
the Cisco uBR7246 for access to the network. The text string can be from 1 to 80 characters in
length. The default is “on” (cable modem authentication is activated).
