Friday morning we changed the cable upstream modulation profile from profile 2 to profile one on all three of our CMTSs.
We also changed the upstream freq from 34208000 to 31008000 on some of the cards but not on this particular CMTS.
Saturday morning we had 5 modems out of 3000+ go off line. They would try to re-sync and get as far as (oi) or even (i) and then drop out and try to sync gain. There was one modem that stopped at (rc)
changing the upstream modulation back to 2 on those ports brought the modems back online.
Can anyone explain to me why, only 5 out of the 3000+ modems went offline.
Here is the profiles in the config:

Any tohuoghts and suggestions will be appreciated
