Overview This chapter describes U10C034 Telephony hardware and firmware features. U10C034 Telephony eMTA (also referred to as Embedded MTAs or eMTA), provide the subscriber connection to the HFC IP network. U10C034 eMTA firmware complies to following standards: • DOCSIS 1.1 and DOCSIS 2.0 •...
This section describes the Telephony Modems supported by the current release of U10C034 firmware. U10C034 Telephony Modems are the latest generation of AMBIT eMTA, providing improved technology and features. As with previous generations, U10C034 Telephony Modems provide telephony via MGCP, 10/100BaseT Ethernet and USB data connections.
UNCTIONALITY U10C034 firmware provides the following core functionality: • Multiple provisioning methods. • Support for up to 16 Upstream Service Flows (SIDs). • Support for various packetization rates. • Support of SNMP v1/v2c and v3 coexistence. • CPE Ethernet — 10/100 BaseT / full-duplex / auto-negotiate function- ality.
