Page 9: Introduction
As an alternative to larger, more expensive cable modem termination systems (CMTS) and second-hand units with low bandwidth, Pico Digital's miniCMTS is designed to provide smaller cable operators with the capabilities they need at an exceptional value. The low-cost unit supports up to 400 DOCSIS cable modems (max. 250 DOCSIS 3.0 + 150 DOCSIS 2.0 or 400 DOCSIS 2.0) and offers 16 downstream bonded channels for up to 800-Mbps... -

Page 11: Installation
Make sure the unit is operated in a moderate temperature environment. The miniCMTS200a is fan cooled. Never place a unit near a heat source. Do not install a unit in areas of extremely high humidity or where there is any danger of water or condensate dripping into or on the unit. -

Page 13: Data Ethernet
There is much more going on in a DOCSIS network that the above simplified explanation, as there are many MAC management messages being sent between the miniCMTS and the modems to help control and configure the network.

Page 14: Rf Configuration
The upstream should be split using a diplexer with the appropriate RF frequency range (depending on the network) Attenuation can then be applied to leg ‘A’ to adjust the signal strength so it will reach the miniCMTS200a at the correct power. -

Page 17: Network Setup- Management Ip And Vlan
Network Setup– Management IP and VLAN The first step to configuring the miniCMTS200a is to set the IP address, this is done by clicking on the Network Settings -> Manage IP. The “Manage IP” tab is displayed in the main Tab area. -
Page 18: Channel Settings - Downstream Channels
Channel Settings - Downstream Channels The next step is to configure the downstream channels. By default the miniCMTS200a is configured for annex-A, this means the channel widths will be 8MHz and will only work with annex-a configured modems. The below figure shows the setup for an Annex B configuration. -
Page 19: Rf Settings - Upstream Channels
Configuration: in “Simple” mode only first upstream channel is configurable, with the remainder being set automatically adjacent to the first downstream channel, in “Complex” mode each upstream can be configured separately.

RF power: with the miniCMTS200a model of miniCMTS, the RF power is set to the internal power setting and is the target receive power at the upstream f-type connector. -
Page 21: Network Setup: Dhcp Relay, Vlan Tagging
In the example above, DHCP relay is enabled for the following three element types: Cable Modems (IPs assigned for CMs are from subnet 10.0.1.0/24), relayed to DHCP server IP 10.10.10.10, with GIADDR set to 10.0.1.2.

Page 22: Figure 14 Business Ip - Vlan Tagging
If DHCP is not used for CPEs, a “Default VLAN ID” must be configured for all CPEs with the same VLAN Option 82 is populated automatically into relayed DHCP packets when operating in “Relay Mode”. A miniCMTS restart is recommended after making changes to “Business Model Settings”. Copyright © 2014 Pico Digital Inc.
