The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The cable interface in the Cisco cBR router supports upstream signals and serves as the radio frequency (RF) interface. This chapter provides an overview of the upstream interfaces on the Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Router.
Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 and later releases support 10 Gbps of upstream throughput on the following line cards on the Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Router:
CBR-CCAP-LC-40G
CBR-CCAP-LC-40G-R
Upstream Channel Management (UCM) is responsible for the physical (PHY) layer configuration and resource management of upstream channels in the Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Router.
An upstream port represents a physical upstream RF connector on a cable line card, connected to one or more fiber nodes. An upstream RF port is a container of upstream RF channels, which imposes constraints on both topology and spectrum for the group of RF channels contained in the physical port. An upstream RF port also represents the RF front-end hardware component on a cable line card including the connector, variable gain adjustment (VGA), and A/D converter. This is directly connected to a set of upstream physical channel receivers. The number of upstream physical channels per port is thus constrained by the number of receivers accessible to the port.
An upstream RF channel represents DOCSIS physical layer operation on a single upstream center frequency with a particular channel width. It is contained by a single physical port on the CMTS line card hardware.
The upstream resource management (URM) feature is primarily responsible for the maintenance of the relationship between a physical upstream connector on the line card and the upstream RF channels received on that connector.
This section contains the following:
Connect a console terminal to the console port on the I/O controller. When asked if you want to enter the initial dialog, answer no to go into the normal operating mode of the router. After a few seconds the user EXEC prompt (Router>) appears.
