protection. The V290iA has a manageable Power and Control Card, providing power to
the different units, such as the Cisco cards, the V284+A card, and the temperature
control system
Modem V290iA Initialization Process
Upon power up, the V290iA performs the following:
1. Scans for a UHF downstream channel – The modem always stores the last set of
parameters it was able to work with. It therefore first tries to reacquire the last
working downstream channel.
2. Synchronizes to the downstream channel – The downstream signal is valid when
the modem has the following:
QAM synchronization.
FEC synchronization.
MPEG frames synchronization.
Recognition of a MAC synchronization message.
3. Receives upstream parameters – The WMTS periodically transmits on the
downstream channel a broadcast information message to all modems on the sector
regarding upstream channels in the sector. The upstream information includes
symbol rate, modulation, FEC, preamble and scrambling.
4. Receives bandwidth allocation MAP – The WMTS periodically transmits on the
downstream channel a broadcast message to all modems on the sector regarding
the upstream bandwidth access opportunities of a coming time interval.
5. Performs ranging and adjustments – The modem synchronizes with the WMTS
on the upstream timing, frequency and transmission power.
6. Establishes IP connectivity – The modem acquires the network setting (IP
address, subnet mask and more) from the DHCP server. The modem entry in the
DHCP server is configured through the Vyyo Web NMS (refer to the NMS User
Guide).
7. Establishes Time of Day – The modem acquires the date and time from a time
server, for proper messaging.
8. Acquires configuration – The modem downloads its configuration file from a TFTP
server. The TFTP file name is provided by the DHCP server, and is configured
through the Vyyo Web NMS (refer to the NMS User Guide). The modem
configuration file includes information about downstream and upstream channels,
available services, service classifiers and priorities, etc.
9. Registers with the WMTS.
Chapter 2 Physical and Functional Description
V290iA User Guide 13
10. The Cisco Router establishes IP connectivity – The router acquires the network
setting (IP address, subnet mask and more) from the DHCP server.
; Note: The description of how the Cisco router establishes IP connectivity, applies
to the V290iA default Cisco setting. The customer may change the Cisco
setting to a fixed IP address, or any other IP addressing method supported

• On when the downstream link is operational.
• Off when the modem has not yet begun downstream
acquisition, the downstream link is idle, or there is a problem
with data reception.
• Flashing when the downstream link is being acquired.
When Status LED is On:
• Flashing when data is transferring in either in the Upstream or
Downstream direction.
Link/Act (for each
Serial port)

transmitted or received.
Link (for each
Ethernet port)
Green when the Ethernet port is connected to a device.
Act (for each
Ethernet port)
Blinks green when packets are transmitted or received.
WiFi LEDs Operation
As shown in Figure 8, the V290iA front panel includes three WiFi LEDs: Ethernet (E),
Status (S), and Radio (RF). These LEDs are used in combination to determine overall
V290iA device status.
If any of the WiFi LEDs is Red or Amber (steady or blinking) this indicates an
initialization state, warning or a failure state. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 33 for
details.

V290iA User Guide 31
Upgrading Software
The V290iA has two upgradeable software elements:
The V284 UHF modem. The software upgrade is detailed below.
The Cisco IOS software. The software upgrade is performed by Cisco tools. Refer to
the Cisco 3200 release notes:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/mar_3200/mar_rlsn/index.htm
Upgrading the V284 Software
To upgrade the V284:
1. Ensure that the latest release of the V290iA software is loaded on a laptop which is
running a TFTF server (pumpkin).
2. Make sure the TFTP server (pumpkin) is activated, and set to permit access to the
directory in which the software package is located.
3. Connect a serial cable from the serial port on the laptop to the Modem Console port
on the interface panel.
4. Open terminal emulation software on the laptop and verify the connection with the
V290iA.
5. Type cd d to go to the docsis directory.
6. Type docsis_ctl.
7. Type dload <ipaddress> <image_name>, where:
ipaddress is the IP address of the laptop running the TFTP server.
image_name is the filename of the software package.
The download process takes a few moments. When download is complete, the V284
resets itself.
