Table 3 is provided to collect information regarding the existing DOCSIS services supported
by the installation site. If there are no existing DOCSIS services supported, skip Table 3 and
proceed to subsequent tables. If more than two DOCSIS services exist, additional
characterization tables can be found in "Additional Characterization Tables" on page 16.
Table 3: Existing DOCSIS Service Characterization
Table 4 on page 8 is provided to collect upstream characterization information for a DOCSIS
Module of the CMTS to be installed. If the desired CMTS configuration includes more than
one DOCSIS Module, additional tables are available in "Additional Characterization Tables" on
page 16.
