Cheetah Technologies’ CheetahLynx Controller is a 1 rack unit, small form factor IP based network element that enables cable operators to remotely view and alarm on RF level and digital measurements on downstream DOCSIS channels using Cheetah Technologies’ CMD-EL DOCSIS devices. The controller can be setup for manual or automatic discovery of all the CMD-EL devices that are deployed at various locations in the network (up to 200 devices per controller). As the number of CMD-EL element deployments grows, additional controllers can be added to meet system expansion requirements.
