1.2.3 Optional Status Monitoring Modules
The power supply supports a number of Alpha Technologies communication modules
which may be ordered factory-installed or as a user-installed field upgrade.
Handle these modules with extreme care. Circuit boards and logic upgrades are
static-sensitive and susceptible to damage.
If communications options are installed, Alpha highly recommends adding the coaxial surge
arrestor for the transponder (See Section 1.3, Recommended Enclosure System Options).

CAUTION!
DOCSIS ® Status Module 3x
The AlphaNet DSM3x Embedded
DOCSIS Transponder allows
monitoring of Alpha power supplies
through existing cable network
infrastructure. Multiple power
supplies, batteries and a generator
can be monitored using a single
transponder. Advanced networking
services provide quick reporting
and access to critical powering
information.
The DSM3x 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 is required.
DOCSIS ® IDH3
The IDH3 Digital Embedded
DOCSIS Transponder enables
cable operators to manage
their network powering through
the existing cable modem
infrastructure.
Multiple power
supplies, batteries and a
generator can be monitored
using a single transponder. Data
is transmitted to a management
system over the network’s
DOCSIS cable modem channels
through the existing CMTS.
Bandwidth utilization is minimized
by using standard SNMP
(Simple Network Management
Protocol) communications.
Status monitoring information
is compatible with ANSI/SCTE
HMS standards.
