kudos:2 | [Signals] New Modem - Arris TM722G/CT Everyone,
Went down to the local Comcast office today, as I had to swap out one of my Cable TV Boxes. The issue was none of the remotes worked on it (it would not change channels anymore). The old box was a DCT6200/2005. Had no issues swapping that out, and I was impressed with what the new box looked like. It so much smaller and thinner! They gave me a Pace RNG110 RF. I asked if I would be able to swap out my other 2 STB's, and they said not a problem. Just bring them down and they would exchange them for me.
I then asked about swapping out my existing eMTA (Arris, Model #TM402P/110) for a D3 version.
They said "No problem Sir!", and came up to the counter with an Arris TM722G/CT.
I took everything home, swapped everything out, used the online activation, and was up in less then 5 minutes! 
So, I'm posting screen shots from the Modem Status Pages. Since this is my first D3 modem, I wanted to check to make sure everything looks good.
I do want to point out that on the modem itself, all of the lights are Green and solid, except one is orange, and flashing. The one that is flashing and Orange is labeled as "Online". Not sure what that means, as I don't have a manual. All I got was the modem itself shrink wrapped. (No power cord, no media, etc).
My "Internet Package" is "Performance w/powerboost".
I just ran a Speed Test from Speedtest.net, and my results are below.
11/27/2012 @ 3:39 PM
Download: 25.48 Mbps
Upload: 4.449 Mbps
So, as far as speed goes, things are where they should be compared to my previous speed tests. However, I'm clueless as far as the number of Downstream and Upstream channels I'm suppose to have, and if they numbers are within range.
If anyone needs more information, feel free to ask and I'll provide it.
Thanks!

Seattle, WA | I hope the pace box works out for you as every one of them I had was junk.
X1 is a Pace. |

So far, things are working the way they should be. Don't know about Caller ID on the TV's yet (have not tried it), but outside of that, picture comes on, and I get all the stations that we are suppose to.

Seems you've left out the signal stats themselves. |

Yeah not sure what happened. I had 5 pictures that I wanted to upload, and I had issues with the last one, so maybe that is why it did not post.
It is now attached to this post.
Sorry about that!

Looks o/k other than the downstream power being a tad high but if you are not having any issues then don't sweat it. |

So far, things are running without problems. Outside of doing a single speed test, I have not done any other tests to see if things are just as good as they were with my last modem. The only question I do have has to do with the actual lights on the modem itself. Below is the current state of each light, and what color it is Label--->Light State----->Light Color Power--->Solid----->Green DS--->Solid----->Green US--->Solid----->Green Online--->Solid----->Green Link--->Blinking----->Orange Tel 1--->Solid----->Green Tel 2--->Off----->Off Battery--->Solid----->Green I know why "Tel 2" is off, as I only have one phone line / number in my home. I just want to make sure that the Link Light blinking and being Orange is normal. I did find the manual, and it says this about that indicator light Yellow = USB 1.x or 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connected Green = USB 2.0 or 1000 BaseT Ethernet connected Off = Computer not connected Flash = Computer Activity Maybe it is "yellow", but it looks "Orange" or "Amber" to me. Which, is why I'm asking. If it really is "Yellow" then all appears to be good then, as I know it is connected to my Smoothwall express box, which has two 10/100 MB NIC's in it. However, if it really is "Orange", and its not suppose to be, then I may have an issue! --Brian --

kudos:5 | Pretty sure the link light is for the ethernet... should turn off if unplugged. It will probably turn green if you hook up a gigabit device.

kudos:2 | Right, that is what I figured it to be.
I just wanted to double check the color. As I said, it looks Orange to me. However, the manual says it should be Yellow.
If it really is a Yellow light, then all is good.

Amber, Orange, Yellow... All three color names seem to be used interchangeably by LED vendors. Possibly Arris (or their Chinese equipment supplier) changed LED vendors after the manual was published (or perhaps the manual's author was color blind).

Dude your in a IPv6 enabled area.. you need to get you v6 on |

I did notice the section of the last picture called "DHCP Attempts to obtain CM IP Address:". Below it lists IPv4 Attempt(s) and IPV6 Attempt(s). I figured if my area was ready for IPv6, those numbers would update.
Right now, my router is a Dell desktop running Smoothwall Express 3.x. As far as I know, it does not support IPv6 directly.
What I may do at some point is test IPv6 by using my Windows 7 desktop connected directly to my Cable Modem, and see what I get. Once I know that is working, I'll move forward with getting my router configured for it, whatever that may involve.

As a side note this is only for the cable modem management side of the cable modem or what we call the DOCSIS side. it doesnt do anything for the CPE side.

I would do that as well, hook up your Windows 7 PC and make sure you get a IPv6 address. Then you know your area CMTS is good to go, put your router in place.. |

You don't necessarily need to wait for the CMTS side of your modem to use IPv6. My SB6121 is still using IPv4 on the cable side, but I nonetheless have full native IPv4/IPv6 connectivity.
