UBR7k2 some modem stops init(rc)

Hi guys. We installed a new ubr7k2 and some modems not getting online, stuck on init(rc). Ds signals good (40snr), and us bit wrog but its ok to register (22-28snr)

Turned on debug on the modem not registering and getting this message:

What modulation are you

What modulation are you running? Do "show controllers cable 4/1 upstream | i Modulations".

Your MER is fairly low, especially the last two readings. Low enough that modems running higher modulation profiles (16-QAM, 64-QAM) with no fallback configured in the profile (QPSK) would fail to communicate properly.

I'd log down the modems that

I'd log down the modems that are not connecting, and try changing to a 16-QAM profile and see if any of them come up. 64-QAM requires a minimum operating CNR of 27dB. You definitely have channels operating with less than that, and I'd imagine the majority of your trouble modems are due to those channels.

16-QAM will operate with 21dB of CNR.
