DOCSIS Security | Uncapping Cable Modems

2012-08-14T10:57:21-04:00August 14th, 2012|

So what is uncapping cable modems? Uncapping cable modems refers to activities performed to alter a DOCSIS cable modems settings. Plain and simple someone is messing with the cable modem's configuration file to get what they want.  So what do they want?  Greater bandwidth (the need for speed), wanting more than one public IP, or any other configurable options a DOCSIS modem can offer.  Maybe they just want to prove they can do it and or feel they are getting the shaft from their cable provider.  Really the psychology of people is

  • DOCSIS Cable Modems go Slow

Subscribers get lower data rates than provisioned?

2020-06-09T09:36:58-04:00July 5th, 2012|

Why do my DOCSIS subscribers and their Cable Modems get lower speeds than what my DOCSIS config file says they should get? This is a common question that I am asked and it has more than one answer.  All too often the RF plant is the first to blame for low DOCSIS cable modem speeds, but in many cases the root cause of the problem can be traced back to the cable modem configuration file and/or the lack of appropriate speed test applications in the headend.  Also, some

Advanced Troubleshooting in a DOCSIS 3.0 Plant

2020-07-02T17:55:04-04:00January 26th, 2012|

If you missed the SCTE Cable-Tec 2011, I am making available my presentation and white paper on Advanced Troubleshooting in a DOCSIS 3.0 Plant. Each speaker had only 20 minutes to cover topics that could easily last hours, so the presentations are understandably brief. Below you will find my presentation in "Slideshare" for online viewing as well as a fully downloadable PowerPoint version. The PowerPoint version also has reader notes attached at the bottom of each slide which you may find useful. In addition, the animations work a little better in the downloadable version.
