Introduction
Cisco Prime Home 5.1.2 offers telecommunication service providers the ability to automatically activate and configure subscribers, manage customer premises equipment (CPE), and deliver advanced services via service packages over DSL, fiber, cable, T1/E1, wireless, and satellite networks. Advanced features include services such as time blocking, content filtering, managed WiFi, remote port forwarding, and IPTV. Prime Home also lets you remotely manage TR-069-compliant CPEs from a variety of vendors.
Enhancements
The following enhancements have been made to Cisco Prime Home 5.1.2.
Bonded WAN Diagnostics
The new Bonded WAN Diagnostics feature allows the Service Provider to see information such as Link Speed and Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) on both Bonded lines - upstream and downstream. DSL Statistics on various types of errors such as blocks and bit errors are also displayed.
The bulk of the Bonded WAN information is provided in the Status page, typically located under the Account section in the left navigation panel of the CSR portal. Clicking on Local Network will also provide you with bonded WAN speed in the Status section of that page.
In the event of customer complaints of system performance or low speed, this new feature allows you to identify the problem and move to a speedy resolution.
Multi Band WiFi
Prime Home now supports viewing and configuring Multi-band WiFi settings; i.e. WiFi devices that operate at either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency band. In the Wireless Settings page, the Service Provider can set and modify primary and guest wireless networks for each Radio on the device, depending on its capabilities. For each network, an SSID name and security level can be configured. Different Radio Modes, Channels and Channel Widths can also be configured.

Bug Search is a new tool for getting information about Prime Home bugs. In addition to having better performance than the legacy Bug Toolkit, Bug Search allows you to:
•

Save your search criteria so you can use it later
