Easily and efficiently manage DOCSIS CPEs with the DOCSIS Provisioning solution

In a modern ecosystem of fast and reliable services, extending the lifetime of infrastructure such as older generations of DOCSIS devices is a long-standing problem for ISPs. DOCSIS Provisioning solves this problem by enabling management of existing DOCSIS devices in a unified way with other access technologies.

Provision and manage your DOCSIS CPEs in 3 steps

1. DHCP request

AVSystem’s DOCSIS Provisioning starts with DHCP server assigning both the device IP and DOCSIS server URI to the modem so that the CPE can download its configuration file. AVSystem can provide its own DHCP server or operate in the existing DHCP infrastructure.

2. Prepare DOCSIS configuration in UMP

Decide to either use predefined provisioning flow configuration or to tailor the configuration files and auto-discovery process to your needs using UMP platform. After DHCP configuration, the device contacts the DOCSIS server (embedded in AVSystem UMP) and downloads its dynamically built configuration file over TFTP.

3. Manage and monitor DOCSIS CPEs

After initial configuration, DOCSIS CPEs can be monitored and managed through a management protocol (e.g. SNMP, TR-069, Telnet/SSH and others) with AVSystem’s UMP. This enables execution of additional operations such as firmware upgrades, reboots, zero-touch (using external systems integration) as well as advanced monitoring features.
