    • Completion steps after installing a cable modem include verifying the IP address, confirming internet connectivity, wrapping up, and educating the customer.

    Pre-installation Call Timing

    • A pre-installation call for SIP Trunks should be scheduled five days prior to the installation date.

    SIP Trunks Configuration

    • SIP Trunks installation may require the WAN port on the ESG (Enterprise Session Gateway) to utilize dynamic DHCP for IP assignment.

    SIP Trunks Capacity

    • A maximum of 23 concurrent calls can be handled by a SIP trunk over HFC (Hybrid Fiber/Coax).

    Differences Between PRI and SIP Trunks

    • PRI and SIP Trunks differ in the ESG and customer PBX interface.

    SIP Trunking Eligibility

    • Recommended for customers with a certified IP PBX at their location who are interested in trunk services.

    Channel Limit for Fractional Service

    • Existing PRI customers with fractional service may add another customer to the upstream CMTS as long as the total does not exceed 23 channels.

    Cross Connect Definition

    • A cross connect refers to routing Spectrum's dial tone back to the original demarcation point using wire.

    Safety Measures for Cross Connects

    • To ensure safety while making cross connects, confirm wiring is disconnected from the dial tone and remove all bridge clips before and during punch-down work.

    • Avoid using bridge clips on terminal blocks when connecting an alarm panel to Spectrum's block.

    Stacking in BC Phone Context

    • Stacking describes when a customer requires more phone lines than can be installed on a single eMTA, necessitating multiple installations.

    Power Source Requirements for BC Phone Equipment

    • BC Phone equipment must be connected to an electrical outlet with permanent power during installation.

    Tools for BC Phone Installation
