DOCSIS stands for Data over Cable Service Interface Specification and is a standard developed by Cablelabs.
docsis is a small program that can be used to generate binary configuration files for DOCSIS-compliant cable modems. Click here to get the latest version.
Unpack the downloaded package with
tar -xvzf docsis-0.9.6.tar.gz |
cd docsis-0.9.6/ ./configure make make install |
In case that configure complains about missing packages, install them with yum (usually gcc, bison, net-snmp-devel, flex).
Enter docsis command to see the output
[root@s1 /]# docsis

To encode a cable modem configuration file:
docsis -e
To encode multiple cable modem configuration files:
docsis -m ...
To encode a MTA configuration file:
docsis -p
To encode multiple MTA configuration files:
docsis -m -p ...
To decode a CM or MTA config file:
docsis -d
Where:
= name of text (human readable) cable modem or MTA
configuration file
= text file containing the authentication key
(shared secret) to be used for the CMTS MIC
= name of output file where the binary data will
be written to (if it does not exist it is created).
= name of binary file to be decoded
= new extension to be used when encoding multiple files
See examples/*.cfg for configuration file format.

NOTE
It is possible to get the next error during make
docsis_lex.o: In function `yylex': /downloads/docsis-0.9.6/src/docsis_lex.c:1734: undefined reference to `yywrap' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [docsis] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/downloads/docsis-0.9.6/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/downloads/docsis-0.9.6' make: *** [all] Error 2 |
To solve this problem, install flex with yum install flex flex-devel.
Then repeat ./configure and make commands.
