Cisco Cable Manager

Cisco Cable Manager is a client/server application that helps cable service providers

deploy, maintain, monitor, and troubleshoot cable equipment on an HFC network. The

product manages Cisco CMTS products, as well as Cisco and third-party DOCSIS and

EuroDOCSIS-compliant cable modems.

Version 2.0 adds:

• Domain management of the Cisco uBR7200 Series, Cisco uBR905, and the Cisco

CVA122

• Scale to support 100,000 cable modems or CPE devices per Cisco Cable Manager

server

• Security to support task- and device-based partitioning of user groups

• Performance reporting to provide multiple statistics in a single graphical display

• Fault management to support formula-based and user-configurable alarm

thresholds

Version 2.1 adds domain management of:

• Cisco uBR7100 Series

• Cisco uBR10012

• Cisco uBR925

• Cisco CVA122E

Both Cable Manager versions come bundled with:

• CiscoView version 4.2

• Cisco Cable Troubleshooter version 1.3

• Cisco DOCSIS CPE Configurator File Editor version 3.2

Cisco Broadband Troubleshooter

The Cisco Broadband Troubleshooter (formerly known as the Cisco Cable

Troubleshooter) provides an efficient tool to help network operations center personnel

or field technicians detect, diagnose and isolate problems between the cable plant and

connected RF CPE devices. The product allows technicians to characterize upstream

and downstream trouble patterns and quickly identify "flapping" CPE devices

experiencing connectivity problems. Operators can quickly discern a cable modem or

set-top box having problems; determine which amplifier or feeder line is faulty;

distinguish an upstream from downstream path problem; and isolate an ingress noise

impairment from a plant equipment problem.

New features in the latest release of product—version 2.0 (not bundled with Cisco

Cable Manager)—include:

• Multi-user client-server architecture; Web-based; allows remote access

• Ability to interrogate CMTS and cable modems for fault isolation

• Ability to perform scheduled capture and provide real-time status of cable

modems
