5.1.3 Upgrading Manually by Setting SNMP Parameters
1. Acquire the firmware and CVC files for your IDH4 Series from Alpha Technologies.
2. Import the CVC into the modem’s DOCSIS Configuration File (to create a Configuration File,
see Section 3.2).
3. Set the following MIB parameters using an SNMP MIB browser. For additional information
regarding the SNMP MIB parameters, refer to the table in Section 5.1.2., "Modem Firmware
Upgrade SNMP Parameters".
