C1G system overview

The Casa Systems C1G Cable Modem Termination System CMTS) is a new class of
cable edge device that combines a third generation DOCSIS CMTS and IPTVdevice
that allows cable operators to deliver digital video services over an economical and
compact platform. Cable ISPs can remotely deploy the C1G in distributed locations
(such as apartment towers) with Layer-2 switching capability on top of DOCSIS 3.0 to
provide data and IPTV services.
1-2

C1G chassis
Network capabilities
The C1G consists of a base system with one DOCSIS MAC interface consisting of
one downstream DQM QAM and up to two upstream DCU interfaces.
The single DOCSIS QAM interface provides DOCSIS packet processing and QoS,
DOCSIS downstream MAC, PHY, and RF up-conversion over 8 channels using one
physical output port. The single DOCSIS Control and Upstream (DCU) interface
includes DOCSIS packet processing, DOCSIS upstream MAC, and burst mode
receivers over 4 channels per each physical port (2).
A standard configuration for channel bonded deployment can be utilizing both
upstream channels and the single downstream channel, 8DSx8US for a 1:1 channel
ratio for up to 400 Mbps downstream bandwidth in Annex A.
For complete information on the C1G features and capabilities, see the Casa Systems
C1G CMTS Data Sheet.

Technical documentation CD-ROM
Rack mounting hardware (brackets, screws, and power module support mount)
Console cable for local system management
DC power modules with AC power cables (as ordered for the destination country)
Small form-factor pluggable (SFPs) modules for Ethernet connections

The C1G is designed as a free-standing unit, but can be optionally installed in a
standard 19-inch mounting rack using Casa-supplied rack mounting hardware with the
dual power module support.,
Caution: Caution must be exercised when rack-mounting this or any
other type of equipment. Ensure that all equipment is properly secured

using the specified hardware. Equipment must be installed in a safe
manner to prevent overloading, tipping over, or other unsafe conditions.
System ventilation at the installation site

When installing equipment, ensure adequate ventilation is available. Inadequate
ventilation will result in higher than normal operating temperatures and may result in
degraded operation. Always ensure the system receives sufficient airflow such that it
will operate within the specified operating temperature range.
Installation procedure
Use the following procedure to install the C1G rack mounting hardware. The
hardware kit consists of steel mounting brackets (4), flathead screws (17), and the dual
power module support. Installing the dual power module support provides the correct
chassis width for installing the C1G in a standard rack.
2-4

Note: Each mounting bracket in the kit is unique and each will properly align
with their intended mounting points. You will not be able to mismatch any of
the brackets during the kit installation.
1.
Locate the rack mounting hardware kit included in the shipping box.
2.
Referring to Figure 2-1 (Step 1), attach the dual power module support bracket to
the C1G using three (3) screws. Tighten the screws until snug.
3.
Using two (2) screws, attach the appropriate right-angle bracket to the back of the
support bracket. See Figure 2-1 (Step 2).
4.
Using six (6) screws, attach the dual power module right angle bracket to the left
side of the C1G and to the back of the support. See Figure 2-1 (Step 3).

Casa provides a C1G wall mounting option for installations where a computer rack is
not readily available or feasible, or if the installation space is limited. The C1G wall
mounting components attach to any flat wall surface. Since the system is mounted
flush (similar to hanging a picture on a wall) with approximately 0.30 inches of
clearance between the unit and the wall, you only need to ensure adequate mounting
points and a surface area large enough for the system and the system cabling.
There are currently two wall mounting options:
1.
The standard wall mount kit, and
2.
The standard wall mount with a remote standalone dual power module holder. See
Using the standalone dual power module pocket.
Figures 2-4 illustrate the wall mount bracket installation.

mounting brackets to the C1G; attach one on the
right and one on the left.
To mount, you will need a level, power drill and bits,

mounting bolts or screws, appropriately-sized washers,
and wall anchors for the type of wall at your installation location.
Casa does not include this hardware due to the many variations
available for differing types of wall construction.

The network uplink connections are made through the GigE Ethernet (GigE) ports.
The GigE ports labeled G0 and G1 support IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab
specifications for 1000BASE-T/-X (1000 Mbps) transmission over fiber-optic cables
and standard CAT5/CAT6 cables. These ports also support auto-sensing and
auto-negotiation of the proper transmission mode (half duplex or full duplex) with an
attached device.
GigE port G0 uses an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module.
Installing SFP modules

The GigE ports labeled G0 and G1 require the insertion of an SFP module (SFP-CP
copper or SFP-LC fiber), as illustrated in Figure 3-1. The following warning applies to
fiber-optic SFPs.
Warning: Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected
fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical
instruments.
Figure 3-1.
Sample SFP module
To insert an SFP module into port GigE G0:
Connecting and starting the C1G
3-3
1.
For optical SFP modules, locate the transmit (TX) and the receive (RX) markings
that identify the topside of the SFP module.
Note: On some modules, the TX and RX markings might be replaced by

arrowheads. These point out of the module connector to signify the transmit
direction, and into the connector to indicate the receive direction.
2.
Align the back (receive) end of the SFP module with the front faceplate, then
insert the module into the G0 port until you feel the connector snap into place.
3.
Remove the dust plugs from the optical ports, and store them for later use.
Connecting Ethernet to the SFP

To connect Ethernet cables to the SFPs in ports G0 and G1, insert the Ethernet cable
into the front (transmit) end of the SFP module, as illustrated in Figure 3-2.

Removing Ethernet cables and the SFP module

To remove an SFP module:
1.
Remove the cable from the front end of the SFP module in G0 or G1. To release
the lock on the SFP, pull the SFP module release lever down until it stops.
2.
Slide the module out of the receptacle.
Replace the dust plugs on the optical ports for protection.

The console port provides local administrative access to the C1G and the
command-line interface (CLI) over a serial EIA-561 RS232D connection with a DTE
interface using a male RJ-45 plug. Attaching a terminal or PC allows you to connect to
the system CLI for initial setup at the deployed location.
To connect a terminal or PC to the RJ-45 console port, you need a DB-9 to DB-9 serial
crossover cable and the supplied RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter.
Figure 3-3 illustrates the RJ-45 and lists the pin/signal information.

A console connection kit is shipped with each C1G system. The kit includes the
following components:
One standard Category 5 UTP RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable
One RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter
One DB9-to-DB9 serial crossover console cable (also called a null modem cable)
Use these components to connect the console port to a terminal or PC, as illustrated in
Figure 3-4.
1.
Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the serial RJ-45 port.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter.

Connect the RF I/O upstream and downstream ports to the HFC network, as illustrated
in Figure 3-5:
1.
Attach the 75-ohm F-connector on one end of the cable to the RF connector on the
faceplate of RF I/O module.
2.
Attach the other end of the cable to the equipment that acts as a gateway to the
HFC network, using the appropriate type of connector for your HFC distribution
equipment.
Caution: When connecting the cable F-connector to the RF connector
on the RF I/O module, ALWAYS use a torque wrench to set the tightness
to 15 inch-lbs (1.7 Newton-meters) Do not simply hand-tighten the
F-connectors. F-connectors that are too loose can cause RF leakage.
F-connectors that are too tight can damage the RF port electronics.
