Troubleshooting Tips

For detailed troubleshooting information, refer to the Cisco DVB CAR100 Cable Access Router Hardware Installation

Guide.

If the power LED on the front of the Cisco DVB CAR100 does not turn green after the initialization procedure, the

modem is not functioning correctly.

If the Cisco DVB CAR100 is powered off, it should remain off for at least 10 minutes before being restarted. If the unit

is powered on within 10 minutes, it is possible it will fail to reestablish communication with the service provider's

headend unit. If this occurs, power the unit off again, and leave it off for at least 10 minutes. Then power on the Cisco

DVB CAR100 again and communication with the service provider's headend unit should be reestablished as normal.

Contact your cable service provider for technical support information.

Safety

Ensure free air-ﬂow around the Cisco DVB CAR100 and power supply unit at all times to prevent overheating.

Software Updates & Upgrades

Software Updates

Software updates for the Cisco DVB CAR100 are handled automatically by the cable service provider by means of the

CATV network. This requires no user intervention.

Note Cisco recommends leaving the modem switched on at all times so that automatic software updates can be

completed successfully.

Upgrading the Cisco DVB CAR100-PC to the

Cisco DVB CAR100-LAN

To upgrade the Cisco DVB CAR100 from the PC to the LAN version, contact the cable service provider.
