1.2.3 Optional Status Monitoring Module
The XM2-300HP supports the Alpha Technologies DPM communication module.
The module may be ordered factory-installed or as auser-installed field upgrade.
Handle these modules with extreme care. Circuit boards and logic upgrades are static-sensitive and
susceptible to damage.
CAUTION!
If communications options are installed, Alpha highly recommends adding a coaxial surge arrestor for the
transponder (See Section 1.3, Optional Features).
NOTE:
DOCSIS ® Status Module
Network-enable your power supply and access powerful diagnostic tools using the DPM
embedded WEB interface and standard SNMP. Poll power supply and battery data in
realtime, and receive alerts when power system alarms indicate noteworthy events.
The DPM is completely configurable from the standard cable modem configuration file
and can be provisioned using default cable modem settings. Customize your monitored
information with configurable CM settings that are used to set alarm thresholds and
power supply operating parameters.
A DPM installed in an XM2-300HP supports communication and system control for
multiple XM2-300HP power supplies. See the AlphaNet DSM Series 3 Technical
Manual (745-814-B8) for detailed information (www.alpha.com).
