Arris CMTS
This device manages and controls the Arris cable modem in HFC networks.
With this connector, you can keep track of the cable modems that are online, starting, and offline. You can also monitor the basic downstream and upstream channel parameters.

Configuration
Connections
SNMP main connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP connection
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
SNMP settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device. The default value is private.
Web Interface
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
Usage
Once created, the element can be used immediately.
General
This page displays general information, such as the device name, location and contact, and uptime. The page also indicates which cable modems are online, offline, and initializing. The nominal values used to calculate the percentages on this page can be configured.
Cable Mac Statistics
This page displays information regarding the cable MAC domains summary and cable MAC channel summary and its rates.
Configuration -- Upstream Channels
On this page, you can monitor parameters such as frequency, bandwidth, modulation, slot size, and name of the available upstream channels.
Configuration -- Downstream Channels
On this page, you can monitor parameters such as frequency, bandwidth, modulation, interleave, and power of the available downstream channels.
Measurements -- Upstream Channels
On this page, you can monitor parameters such as cable model upstream channel offline, online, and initializing elements, the channel capacity, bitrate, and utilization, as well as the signal to noise ratio, error, unerror, and corrected bits, and the consecutive/non-consecutive alarm state.
Measurements -- Downstream Channels
On this page, you can monitor parameters such as cable model downstream channel offline, online, and initializing elements, the channel capacity, bitrate, and RF utilization, as well as the signal to noise ratio, error, unerror, and corrected bits, and the consecutive/non-consecutive alarm state.
Measurement - Gigabit Interfaces
On this page, you can monitor parameters such as bitrate, utilization, capacity, status, and state for the interfaces of type Gigabit.
Interfaces
This page displays information about the interfaces, such as the type, bandwidth, state, administrative status, and operational status.
Web Interface
This page displays the web interface of the device. Note that the client machine has to be able to access the device, otherwise it will not be possible to open the web interface.
Notes
Since version 1.0.2.1 of this connector, CMTS type detection between C4 and CCAP models has been implemented. This detection is based on the SNMP MIB-2 sysDescr OID object.
