On properly compliant hardware not much, on the garbage VM purchase on the cheap and give to customers I'm not sure.

You do need to do some configuration on the CMTS, some changes to the modem configuration file:

Code:
Start BaseLinePrivacy
    AuthTimeout = 10
    ReAuthTimeout = 10
    AuthGraceTime = 600
    OperTimeout = 10
    ReKeyTimeout = 10
    TEKGraceTime = 600
    AuthRejectTimeout = 60
    SaMapWaitTimeout = 1
    SaMapMaxRetries = 4
EndOf BaseLinePrivacy
and not a huge amount else in theory.

Practise, God knows, VM are more interested in the STM functionality of the code than the BPI+ functionality
