Docsis configuration file creator.

## NAME

DOCSIS - Docsis configuration file creator.

## DESCRIPTION

DOCSIS Configuration File creator.

This program encodes text configuration files which contain Configuration File Settings into binary configuration files, as specified by the DOCSIS RFI 1.1 Specification, Appendix C.

### To encode a cable modem configuration file:

-

  ./docsis **-e** \<modem\_cfg\_file\> \<key\_file\> \<output\_file\>

### To encode multiple cable modem configuration files:

- ./docsis **-m** \<modem\_cfg\_file1\> ...

  \<key\_file\> \<new\_extension\>

### To encode a MTA configuration file:

-

  ./docsis **-p** \<mta\_cfg\_file\> \<output\_file\>

### To encode multiple MTA configuration files:

- ./docsis **-m** **-p** \<mta\_file1\> ...

  \<new\_extension\>

### To decode a CM or MTA config file:

-

  ./docsis **-d** \<binary\_file\>

Where: \<cfg\_file\>              = name of text (human readable) cable modem or MTA

-

  configuration file

\<key\_file\>              = text file containing the authentication key

-

  (shared secret) to be used for the CMTS MIC

\<output\_file\>           = name of output file where the binary data will

-

  be written to (if it does not exist it is created).

\<binary\_file\>           = name of binary file to be decoded \<new\_extension\>         = new extension to be used when encoding multiple files

See examples/\*.cfg for configuration file format.
