Create a Modem
Before you follow the steps on this page of the documentation be sure to first:
- Add a Cost Center (in case you use the BillingBase module)
- Create a Customer (Contract)
- Create Configuration File
1. Click provisioning > contracts
shows table of contracts
2. Select and click desired contract
shows corresponding customer
Further windows like e.g.
- Assigned Modems
- Assigned Items
- Assigned SEPA-Mandates
- Assigned Tickets
can be seen as an overview on the right side of this contract/customer page.
3. Move mouse to top right window named "Assigned Modems" and click the "+" button to add the customers modem
Note: This is a recursive process! Hence, you can not go to the Modems table directly to add a new modem.

- Add mac address (e.g. copy from the CMTS, see video on the right side at 1:20 min and the Install 7: CMTS RF configuration and Cable Modem connection video)
- Choose Base config file OR be sure to have created a Configuration File in advance
- Optionally a different address can be specified
4.Click the Save / Restart button on the bottom of the Modem page
At the top of the window you get coloured information like e.g.:
- Created!
- Could not restart Modem! (offline?)
- Could not determine geo coordinates (ZERO_RESULTS) - please add manually
The Hostname is automatically set by the system and not changeable. The name is freely choosable.
The navigation bar on the very top of NMS Prime is showing the relations starting from the index page of the currently displayed page (e.g. modem) and is clickable, so you can open the corresponding list (e.g. list of modems) or navigate quickly through the related pages.
