CMTS DEFINITION (continued): … externally or internally to a subscriber's computer or television set. One television channel is used for upstream signals from the cable modem to the CMTS, and another channel is used for downstream signals from the CMTS to the cable modem. When a CMTS receives signals from a cable modem, it converts these signals into Internet Protocol (IP) packets, which are then sent to an IP router for transmission across theInternet. When a CMTS sends signals to a cable modem, it modulates thedownstream signals for tranmission across the cable …
