How Do Cable Modems Work?
Connect the Cable Modem to the TV outlet for your cable TV
The cable TV operator connects a Cable Modem Termination
System (CMTS) at their end (the Head-End)
– The CMTS is a central device for connecting the cable TV
network to a data network like the Internet
Cable Modem Termination System
CMTS is located at the cable TV headend
CMTS sends out periodic sync messages that contain a 32-bit time
stamp of 10.24 MHz clock.
CM receives sync messages and locks the frequency of it’s local
clock so that it matches the time stamp in the sync messages.
CM now knows frequency of CMTS clock but not the phase because
of propagation delays in receiving the sync messages.
Ranging Process
Before initial transmission, CM loads it’s ranging offset register with a value to
compensate for the known delays (DS inter-leaver, implementation delays, etc.)
The CM the adjusts it’s 32-bit sync counter by the amount in the ranging offset.
The CM then selects an initial ranging slot and transmits.
The CMTS measures the difference between the received and expected transmission
boundaries and sends that back to the CM as a ranging adjustment. It also communicates
the power level, frequency offset and delay adjustment to the CM.
DOCSIS Protocol Layers
Security In Docsis
• To provide CM users with data privacy across the
Network .
