Here is the file that places the cap:

The file is received by the modem from the head end. If you were to manipulate the data and try to put it back into the modem, the modem would require a reboot for the info to take. Since the modem would receive a new config file from the head end, the file you manipulated would be of no value. you cannot uncap a DOCSIS modem!

I've looked, and pondered, speculated, and tested ideas of SNMP and the like.. My conclusion: The only way anyone could possibly affect the caps on a DOCSIS modem, is to work for the company in question, and update it from the head-end side. The only other way to even touch the file is to buy yourself (rent, maybe) a CMTS, (cablemodem termination switch or something similar) download the TFTP config from that thru the HFC interface of the modem, and then hope that it won't figure out that you disconnected the modem from your foreign CMTS and put it back onto the normal cable network. Even if you set the frequencies the same, I suspect that each CMTS has its own 'signature' that the modem won't be able to sync off of. At this point it'd reboot, and cause the new, updated config, to be lost.

The name of the file is pointless. It's just there so the techs know what is what. For all the modem could care, it can be named 23149023l.ldog and it won't know the diffecence. |
