Full-Duplex Cable Modem Calibration

A system comprising:

• a communication device operable to communicate in accordance with a Data Over Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS®) standard, the communication device comprising transmitter circuitry, receiver circuitry, and memory, wherein:
• the transmitter circuitry is operable to transmit one or more first signals into a network to which the communication device is coupled;
• the receiver circuitry is operable to measure echoes of the transmitted one or more first signals;
• the receiver circuitry is operable to generate an installation figure of merit based on the measured echoes and factory-calibration echo measurements stored in the memory;
• and
• the communication device is operable to:
• begin DOCSIS® network registration if the installation quality measurement meets a determined requirement;
• and
• generate a notification to troubleshoot the installation of the communication device if the installation quality measurement does not meet a determined requirement.
