cable modulation-profile
Define the elements that are used in a cable modulation profile. You can have up to 8
cable modulation profiles. Profile 1 is the default.
Caution If you change a modulation profile, you also make changes to the physical layer.
Changing physical layer characteristics affects router performance and function; therefore, this task
should only be used by an expert user.

Syntax Description
profile number Specifies the modulation profile for which you are specifying a parameter value or specifies the
number of the modulation profile you wish to remove from your router configuration. Valid
range is from 1 to 8.
parameter • The modulation profile values that can be changed are:
• Interval usage code (iuc)—Valid values are initial, long, reqdata, request, short, station.
To use the cable modulation-profile command correctly, enter a line with all parameters for
each upstream burst type. An incomplete burst profile causes unreliable operation, or loss of
modem connectivity.
Errors or incompatible configurations in the burst profile(s) cause modems to either drop
connectivity, drop short or long data packets, or fail to connect to the network. It is possible to
build a burst profile set for which no implementation of a DOCSIS receiver is capable of
receiving the modem’s transmission.
• Fec-tbytes—The number of bytes that can be corrected per FEC codeword. Valid range is
0 to 10 bytes, where 0 means no FEC.
The data rates 160 Ksymbol/sec and 2560 Ksymbol/sec are highly sensitive to unique word
length, preamble length, and FEC sizing. Incorrect choices for these values can cause poor or
no connectivity at these symbol rates.
• Fec-len—FEC codeword length. Valid range is 8 to 254 bits.
• Burst-len—Maximum burst length in bytes. 0 means no limit on burst length.
• Guard-t—Guard time in symbols. The time between successive bursts.
• Mod—Modulation. Valid values are 16qam and qpsk.
• Scrambler—Enable or disable scrambler. Valid values are scrambler and no-scrambler.
Turning the scrambler off can cause packet loss, and is only used in lab testing environments.
• Seed—Scrambler seed in hexadecimal format. Valid range is 0x0000 to 0x7FFF.
• Diff—Enable or disable differential encoding. Valid values are diff and no-diff.
• Pre-len—Preamble length in bits. Valid range is 2 to 128 bits.
• Last-cw—Handling of FEC for last codeword. Valid values are fixed for fixed codeword
length and shortened for shortened last code word.
• Uw-len—Upstream unique word length. Enter uw8 for 8-bit unique words or uw16 for 16-bit
unique code words.
value The value for the parameter you are assigning to a given modulation profile.
