Cisco Model EPC2203 EuroDOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modem
with Embedded MTA
The Cisco®Model EPC2203 Cable Modem (EPC2203) is a high-speed cable modem
with an embedded media terminal adapter (EMTA). The EPC2203 features single line or
two RJ-11 telephone ports for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service along with a
10/100BASE-T Ethernet port and a USB 1.1 port for high-speed data connectivity.
The EPC2203 also features Dual Mode. This feature allows the service provider to
deploy the EPC2203 in networks that use DOCSIS®6 MHz downstream modulation.
The EPC2203 is designed to meet EuroPacketCable™1.0 and EuroDOCSIS™ 2.0
specifications and is backward compatible with EuroDOCSIS 1.1 and EuroDOCSIS 1.0
networks. The EPC2203 uses advanced line interface technology to provide multi-country
toll-quality telephone service using existing in-home wiring. The EPC2203 supports 10
REN total, 5 REN loading on each phone line.
Figure 1. Cisco Model EPC2203 EuroDOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modem with EMTA (image may vary from actual
product and specification)
The EPC2203 fully supports the CODECs specified in EuroPacketCable 1.5. Additional CODECs
are available through a software upgrade that includes a high fidelity CODEC option for toll-quality
plus service. Standard VoIP call signaling is compliant with EuroPacketCable’s (MGCP/NCS)
specifications. Software upgrades are available to support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) call
signaling.
