Hello,
we are trying to set up cable internet service for a small campus network. One of our sponsors sent us a used Arris CMTS 1000 device. No documentation came with it, but I have found some papers on the internet. One of manuals stated that LVn provisioning software came with the device. Can somebody point me to the location where we can download said software ?
For provisioning, you could use dhcpd, tftp and docsis program. I'm using it.
I also have arris 1100 in production. Now handle 1000 modem registered modem.
or try use docsis server software.
Actually CMTS1000 is very simple device (imho).
It has menu based CLI and very easy to configure.
Hello - I'm also looking for info on setting up this CMTS -- can someone point me in the right direction? Do I really have to buy provisioning software? thanks . . .
Here it is small working config from one of our previous CMTS-1500

Hiiii
I have Questions of this...
In other CMTS have a configuration cable-helper-address, in this cmts the helper address is the tftp server???
When i create the Binary Files i need secret key, this cmts requiere it ??
thanks for your help...
Thank you for your answers, we have manage to configure everything. Well...almost everything. :) .
I have set up a linux box with dhcp and tftp, and I am using docsis configurator to produce .bin files.
Everything works fine, but now I need to upload new configuration file to 2 of our modems. Since they allready have our old config file, how do I tell them that they need to download a new config file ?
When our modems connect, they pick up address from dhcp, but they pick up a firmware file only the first time, and they do not ask for file anymore.
I have even tried to reboot modems, but they still keep old configs. Modems are Motorola SB-5101e.
The CMs will download the configuration file every time they resync, reset or reboot. The easiest way to do that is to clear them out of the CMTS or send an SNMP set on the CM.
To make sure they're picking up the correct config file just watch log your TFTP requests.

Yes, I solved that problem. Error was quite trivial, CMTS lost its authentication string, and didn't allow config files signed with that authentication string to be sent to modems.
I'm glad to hear that it was easy.

Can any one post some other working config of Arris 1500
To Svestenik
Can u contact me on markotomic-at-gmail.com please?
If anyone is familiar with the Arris 1000 CMTS, we inherited one and need remote assistance with its configuration. We have no software for it but do have the user name and password.
Hi
I have experience with those boxes. What software level is it at?
from the console type sys (enter) and it should tell you.
I think I saw a generic config on this site but then again, would
need to know what your network topology is to make sure
the config is 100% custom for you.
Let me know,
dogwood
Can somebody help us to configure a CMTS?
Does anyone know how I can set this authentication string on my CMTS 1000? I do not have the LCN software they manual tells you to set this in as such I have no idea how to set this via the CLI nor SNMP. Any info will be a great help, thanks!
