Configuring the Downstream Frequency
The Configure Status page allows you to set the downstream frequency for
the CM. Configuring the downstream frequency enables the device to
quickly obtain a direct frequency lock with the CMTS upon bootup and
helps to save several minutes of scanning for an available downstream
frequency from the CMTS.

the CM Web Interface via the Ethernet Port or Logging Into the CM
Web Interface via a Dynamic IP Address.
2 Click Configure in the left sidebar. The CM web interface displays the

quency (in Hertz) that you want the CM to use to connect to the CMTS
when it boots up.
4 Click Set Values and Reboot to have the CM save your changes and
reboot.
Administering CM Passwords
The parameters on the Security Status page allow you to change the CM

Country Code If you purchased the AP in the United States of
America, this value is fixed to United States at the
factory and is not user configurable.
If you purchased the AP outside the United States of

region. Selecting the correct country code ensures
that the AP uses only the radio channels allowed in
your country or region.
