QPSK Modulator for an FTTP
System Installation Instructions
Overview
Cable service providers have searched for a cost effective way to provide very
high-speed broadband access and triple-play services (voice, video, and data) to
residential and small business communities for decades. Fiber-to-the-Premises
(FTTP) is the answer. Deploying FTTP will help to eliminate the bandwidth
limitations of deployed copper in the loop and surpass the capacity of the current
broadband access alternatives.
This document describes the requirements for Cisco systems software operating
This document describes the requirements for Cisco systems software operating
in an FTTP environment. In this case, systems software includes the System
Release (SR), Operating System (OS), and Cisco Resident Application (SARA).
To help you understand an FTTP system, this document compares the HFC
To help you understand an FTTP system, this document compares the HFC
architecture to the FTTP architecture. For step-by-step instructions, this document
focuses only on configuring the Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK)
modulator and the third-party Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server required to support an FTTP system. Instructions are also provided for
enabling DAVIC Express as the Digital Home Communications Terminal (DHCT)
Communication Mode (DCM) for the QPSK modulator.
Purpose
This document provides the software and hardware requirements for
implementing FTTP as well as the required system settings. Instructions for
configuring the QPSK modulator and DHCP server are provided.
Audience
This document is intended for system operators of the Cisco Digital Broadband
Delivery System (DBDS) who use SARA and want to implement an FTTP system.
Cisco field service engineers who help system operators manage their systems
will also find the contents of this technical bulletin useful.
