Installation and Quick Start Guide
The AlphaNet IDH4 Series Embedded DOCSIS Transponder allows monitoring of Alpha power supplies through existing cable network infrastructure.
Advanced networking services provide quick reporting and access to critical powering information.
The IDH4 Series utilizes Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and standard Management Information Bases (MIBs) to provide network
status monitoring and diagnostics. A Web interface enables authorized personnel direct access to advanced diagnostics using a common Web
browser. No custom software or proprietary cables are required.
The transponders can be installed and configured for operation in the XM2, XM2-HP, or XM2-300HP Power Supply.
