 Curriculum Vitae
The Remote PHY device is a part of the CMTS network. The RPHY comes under DAA
(distributed access architecture), where the physical layer of the network is moved to
the edge of the network. The RPHY is configured via the CCAP core which will be in
the head end of the network. RPHY will have RF ports through which the RPHY device
will transmit Downstream data to Cable modems and receive Upstream data from
the cable modems. This product (RPHY GEN1) has 1-DS RF port and 1-US RF port.
RPHY has many functionalities which include Authentication, Secure software
download, Generic control protocol, and many others.

Roles and Responsibilities:

 Test Architect and Test Lead of the DHCP feature. Developed test cases based
on the requirements for each RPD release. Tested DHCP protocol.
 Test Lead and Test Architect of the GCP feature. Test case development for
Generic Control Protocol. Tested GCP protocol.
 Test Lead of SSD feature. Test case development for secure software
download. Testing of SSD.
 Test Lead of the 802.1x Authentication feature. Tested 802.1x protocol.
 Test case development for SSH feature. Tested SSH feature of the RPHY.
 Carried RPHY event generation test. RHPY event format verification as per
cable lab specs.
 TOD feature testing. Tested the Time of Day feature of the RPHY.
 Test Lead of SYSLOG feature. Tested SYSLOG protocol of the RPHY.
 RPHY device upgrade test and testing of new image compatibility.
 Tested the Daisy chain and Ring topology feature for SHELF RPD.
 Logged numerous critical and High-priority defects on the above-mentioned
features.
 Automated the test of RPHY SSD upgrade using Python.

Test bed setup:

 DHCP server deployment.
 GCP test bed setup.
 DHCP Server configuration.

 Curriculum Vitae
CCAP Core is a head-end device in the CMTS network. The core is responsible for the
configuration of the Remote PHY devices connected to it. The core can handle
multiple RPHY devices, and one can control the RPHY using the core. The connection
of RPHY to the core is done via optic fiber cables which provide a high data rate. The
core has many features like SNMP, GCP, SYSLOG, SSD, and others.

Roles and Responsibilities:

 Test Architect and Test Lead of GCP feature and Test development, test bed
setup, and Testing GCP protocol.
