Charger Mode: The mode of the battery charger which may be one of the following: OFF, TEST, BULK, ACCEPT,
REFRESH, FLOAT, REST.
Charger Temperature Compensation: Battery charger temperature compensation control. Programming this
parameter to “0.0” disables temperature compensation. It is factory set for AlphaCell batteries (5mV/cell). If another
manufacturer’s batteries are used, consult the battery manufacturer for Charger Temperature compensation ranges.
CM IP Address: The IPV4 IP address assigned to the cable modem of the DOCSIS transponder.
CM IPV6 ADR Postfix: The last 4 sections of the IPV6 address of the cable modem when deployed on an IPV6
network. Refer to the previous menu item for the first 4 sections of the address.
CM IPV6 ADR Prefix: The first 4 sections of the IPV6 address of the cable modem when deployed on an IPV6
network. Refer to the next menu item for the last 4 sections of the address.
CM MAC Address: MAC (Media Access Control) address assigned to the cable modem. A MAC label is provided on
the DOCSIS transponder. This item may also be labeled as the “RF MAC Address” on some DOCSIS transponders.
CM Receive Power: The RF receive (downstream) power at the cable modem. The acceptable range is between
+15 to -15 dBmV. The ideal operating receive power is 0 dBmV.
CM Transmit Power: The RF transmit (upstream) power from the cable modem. The acceptable range is less
than +55dBmV. The ideal operating transmit power is less than +50 dBmV.
Common Logical ID: Specifies the logical ID for the managed power supply used by network management
systems. Some network management systems require this item to be blank. This item can be entered via the
transponder Web page or status monitoring firmware.
CPE IP Address: The IPV4 IP address assigned to the CPE side of the DOCSIS transponder when used in Dual
IP configuration.
CPE MAC Address: MAC (Media Access Control) address assigned to the CPE side of the transponder. A MAC
label is provided on the DOCSIS transponder. The CPE MAC is utilized in Dual IP configurations.
Current Outage: When the Power Supply is operating in standby mode, this is a counter (in minutes) of how long
the Power Supply has been in standby mode. This is not used for self-test events.
Device Address: The Power Supply must have a unique address to communicate with a system controller. The
system controller uses the address as an identifier to query the Power Supply for information. Each Power Supply
on the same communications bus must be identified with a value between 1 and 5.
Discharge Level: This is the setting for the amount of battery discharge to be performed during self-test, either
manual or automatic. “TIMED” is the default and will use the time set in the Test Duration parameter. Deep
discharge levels of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% may be set. When set, the batteries will be discharged by the
specified capacity percentage one time. Upon completion, the setting will revert back to Timed.
DOCSIS Config File: The file name of the cable modem configuration file the DOCSIS transponder has downloaded.
Downstream SNR: The downstream signal-to-noise ratio. A value less than 28 dB usually indicates a noise issue
on the forward RF plant and the DOCSIS transponder may have issues communicating with the CMTS or status
monitoring system.
DSM Firmware Version: The firmware version (4.4.9.0_03.02_NA) loaded on the cable modem microprocessor
chip. The first half of the name is the Broadcom firmware (4.4.9.0) and the second half of the name is the Alpha
firmware (03.02).
DSM Model/Config: The model and configuration (options) of the DOCSIS transponder. The model possibilities
are DSM3, DSM3x, and DPM. The common options are CW = Cableware, DP = Dual-IP and RT = Reset Timer.
DSM Serial Number: The serial number of the transponder. A label is provided on the DOCSIS transponder.
End of Battery Discharge (EOD): The point at which the batteries are fully discharged (default 1.75V/C — GXL
Series or "Other" batteries or 1.70V/C — HP Series batteries; 18 cells for 36V inverter) and the Power Supply
shuts off, preventing permanent damage to the batteries.
EOD Type: Determines whether the low battery voltage cutoff is based on the battery string voltage measurement
or the lowest individual battery voltage measurement.
EOD Voltage:
The low battery (End of Discharge) voltage at which the inverter will shut off the output. This value
can be programmed if the EOD Type is Individual. This line is hidden if the EOD Type is String.
