Information About Out of Band

Out of Band (OOB) data is used by set-top boxes on the cable plant for the delivery of data streams that support set-top box operation in the downstream and to convey responses and commands from the STB in the upstream.

The two OOB systems are OOB 55-1 and OOB 55-2. The OOB 55-2 system has a scheduled TDMA upstream, which is intolerant of packet network latency. The SCTE 55-1 system does not include such upstream scheduling capabilities, however requires multiple upstream frequencies to operate.

How to Configure 55-1 OOB

This section describes how to configure OOB on Cisco cBR-8.

Configuring Global 55-1 OOB

To configure OOB, complete the following procedure: 

configure terminal  
cable oob  
virtual-om  o-id 
ip  ip subnet_mask 
join-group  ip source-ip  ip out-group  ip 
virtual-arpd  id 
ip  ip subnet_mask 
nc  ip udp-port  number 
source-id  s-id

Configuring Profile for 55-1 OOB

To configure profile to use OOB, complete the following procedure: 

configure terminal  
controller downstream-oob 55d1-profile  dp-id 
no ds-channel 0 rf-mute  
no ds-channel 0 shutdown  
ds-channel 0 frequency  f-value 
ds-channel 0 poweradjust  p-value 
controller upstream-oob 55d1-profile  up-id 
no us-channel 0 shutdown  
us-channel 0 frequency  f-value 
us-channel 0 varpd-portid  va-id (ID range is 1-6) varpd-demodid  vd-id 
no us-channel 1 shutdown  
us-channel 1 frequency  f-value 
us-channel 1 varpd-portid  va-id varpd-demodid  vd-id 
no us-channel 2 shutdown  
us-channel 2 frequency  f-value 
us-channel 2 varpd-portid  va-id varpd-demodid  vd-id

Configuring Remote PHY Device for 55-1 OOB

To configure the RPD to use OOB, complete the following procedure: 

configure terminal  
cable rpd  name 
identifier  id 
no sbfd enable  
core-interface TenGigabitEthernet  slot/subslot/port 
principal  
rpd-ds 0 downstream-oob-vom  o-id profile  dp-id 
rpd-us 0 upstream-oob-varpd  a-id profile  up-id 
rpd-us 1 upstream-oob-varpd  a-id profile  up-id 
r-dti  value 
rpd-event profile  id
