1.3.6 Optional DOCSIS Status Monitoring Modules
The Power Supply supports several Alpha communication modules which may be ordered
factory-installed or as a user-installed field upgrade (for full installation instructions refer to the
communication module technical manual). The AlphaNet DSM3 and IDH4 Series Embedded
DOCSIS Transponders allow monitoring of Alpha power supplies through existing cable network
infrastructure. Advanced networking services provide quick reporting and access to critical
powering information.
The communications modules utilize 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. This manual addresses all models and is based on the DSM3x,
which has the complete feature set. Table 1-5 compares the differences between the transponder
models.
