  • Manages all functions with a Java-based interface that can be accessed from any type of operating system.
  • Features wizards and templates for fast deployment, reduced error risk, and streamlined workflows.
  • Resolves issues and analyzes system design with extensive diagnostic and reporting tools.

Extreme scalability to support network expansion and efficient use of resources.

  • Keep costs low with our high-availability DHCP server, which supports millions of subscriber devices, as well as an unlimited number of DHCP relays per server in distributed deployments.
  • Efficiently use your available IP address space with weighted DHCP servers that span subnets across multiple relays.
  • Abstract complex MAP-T DHCPv6 configuration at scale.

Keep your configuration data safe and manage user privileges with multi-level security.

  • Protect your configuration information with secure administrator login and triple-DES password encryption.
  • Manage administrator user rights with access privileges, access control lists, and delegation.

High-performance DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 support.

  • Simultaneously reports packet counters for DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 packets to assist with network monitoring, system health checks, troubleshooting.
  • Simplifies DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation, IPv6, and reconfigurations with centralized control.
  • Supports CableLabs DHCP options registry including configuration and provisioning of DOCSIS and PacketCable devices over IPv6.
  • Exposes address allocations over Broadband Command Center API so that northbound IPAM systems can automatically track utilization of IPv4 and IPv6 resources
  • Simplifies DHCPv6 configuration for MAP-T to help operators cost-effectively conserve IPv4 address space.

Standards alignment and integration ease.

  • CableLabs standards-based devices with new DOCSIS 4.0 support to enable features for Low-Latency DOCSIS, Full-Duplex DOCSIS, and Enhanced Spectrum use.
  • Broadband Forum standards-based devices.
  • Converged multimedia devices that require both Broadband Forum and CableLabs standards support.
  • The widest array of SIP-based devices of any provisioning product on the market.
  • DOCSIS over EPON and GPON.
  • Integration with third-party OSS platforms, including LDAP and SQL external databases, SOAP, CLI, CORBA APIs, and XML APIs.

Broadband Command Center Central Management System (CMS) is a centralized software platform that manages and configures multiple BCC clusters. This alleviates the need for lengthy and error-prone manual configuration and replaces CLI-based scripting to configure BCC clusters that typically required significant scripting expertise. Now, multiple network engineering professionals can easily configure BCC without extensive testing or scripting skills. This means less manual processes, fewer errors, and faster time to configure and update DOCSIS services.

As a centralized software platform that manages and configures multiple BCC clusters, BCC Central Management System (CMS) alleviates the need for lengthy and error-prone manual configuration and replaces CLI-based scripting that typically requires significant scripting expertise. Because multiple network engineering professionals can easily configure BCC without extensive testing or scripting skills, CMS speeds up DOCSIS service configuration and updating with fewer manual processes and errors.

CMS Benefits

  • Lowers operational costs through configuration automation.
  • Reduces human error with minimal manual processes and reduces deployment errors via Peer Review and Approval mechanism.
  • Ensures faster deployment by configuring once versus configuring once per cluster.
  • Offers zero-touch BCC ecosystem configuration through automated discovery of BCC services—no need to configure specific interface information for BCC services.
  • Zero-touch BCC ecosystem configuration through automated discovery of BCC services—no need to configure specific interface information for BCC services.
  • Improves security through delegated administration model enabling only authorized personnel to implement BCC configuration changes.
  • Features web portal GUI for ease of access.
