CMTS Base Configuration
The CMTS ships with a configuration database that contains all data required to initialize the CMTS. The base configuration
database is present in the SCM persistent memory — the flash disk.
The base configuration is the minimum data needed to initialize and configure the CMTS. When the CMTS initializes from
the base configuration database, the SCM and Router Control Module (RCM) become active. Configuration procedures
begin once the SCM and RCM are active.
The next section of this chapter contains the procedure for initially setting the system clock, the SCM’s IP address, and
other parameters to customize the CMTS for use in your LAN and time zone. After this procedure is completed, technical
support personnel will be able to administer the CMTS using either the ethernet (telnet) port or serial port of the SCM.
