We just recently got into using eMTAs on our plant for voice, and it has been a major undertaking. I am not sure how familiar you are with the phone side, so if you are familiar please excuse my over-explanantion. To prpperly get the phone to work, you need 1.) a phone switch with the number set up correctly with the MTA-MAC assigned in the switch, 2.) you need a BIN file that has the MTA's configuration set in it, 3.) a TFTP server to host that file, 4.) your dhcp server has to have the option to let the MTA get an IP and tell the MTA portion where the TFTP server is located.
If you can get all that to fall into place your MTA will work. We had not idea what all was required either when we deided to offer voice service. We found out the hard way how complicated it is.
I have never seen any formal documentation on this. We ended up going with Z-Corum for all our provisioning needs. I think companies such as Integrated Broadband Solutions (www.ibbs.com) can do more of it than others, but they cost more a s a trade off.
Hope this helps, if I can provide any more info I would be glad to.
Thank,

Arris is a pain in the rear when it comes to that. They provide no docs because they make no money on the "little" CMTSs. If you want their attention, shell out big $$ for a C4. Of course this is way overkill for private cable. The good news is that I found all of this out the hard way years ago so you don't have to. I've developed systems for people all over the world. Contact me and I can quote you a price for setup and support. I'll safe you a lot of time, frustration and money.

Saying that Arris does not provide good documentation for the modems is totally ridiculous.
I’ve dealt with a number of different vendors, and the Arris doco is the most comprehensive by far.
For example with their latest v6 firmware for D2 modems, they include
* Release notes (121 pages)
* Feature sheet (16 pages)
* Feature guide (124 pages)
* Provisioning guide (287 pages)
* Management guide (99 pages)
* Troubleshooting guide (515 pages)
Plus there’s a complete MIB package, and associated tools available like PacketAce
If you don’t have these docs, you should talk to your Arris supplier. It doesn’t matter if you don’t use their CMTS (for example we use Cisco), if you buy their modems then naturally you are able to get all the right modem doco.
Arris doesn't care about private cable. PCOs just don't have the money for arris and arris doesn't have the time for PCOs. Why would they? They can make 100Gs on a C4. No wonder they dropped the 1000 and 1500.

you should activate arrisMtaDevProvMethodIndicator in main config file
for SIP configuration use following template:
TelephonyConfigFileBeginEnd = 1
SnmpMib = pktcMtaDevEnabled.0 true
SnmpMib = sipCfgPortUserName.1 "7705553001"
SnmpMib = sipCfgPortDisplayName.1 ""Caller-ID Line 1""
SnmpMib = sipCfgPortLogin.1 "arris1"
SnmpMib = sipCfgPortPassword.1 "password1"
SnmpMib = ifAdminStatus.9 up
SnmpMib = sipCfgPortUserName.2 "7705553002"
SnmpMib = sipCfgPortDisplayName.2 ""Caller-ID Line 2""
SnmpMib = sipCfgPortLogin.2 "arris1"
SnmpMib = sipCfgPortPassword.2 "password1"
SnmpMib = ifAdminStatus.10 up
SnmpMib = sipCfgProxyAdr.0 "10.1.63.11;5060"
SnmpMib = sipCfgProxyType.0 ipv4
SnmpMib = sipCfgRegistrarAdr.0 "10.1.63.11;5060"
SnmpMib = sipCfgRegistrarType.0 ipv4
SnmpMib = sipCfgSipFeatureSwitch.0 hexstr: 0.0.0.0
SnmpMib = sipCfgProvisionedCodecArray.0 "PCMA;PCMU"
SnmpMib = sipCfgPacketizationRate.0 twentyMilliSeconds
TelephonyConfigFileBeginEnd = 255
i have only tm501b but config is provided from arris (and it working perfectly)
