Alpha DSM3 for XM3 Quick Start Guide
AlphaNet™ DSM3 Series DOCSIS® Status Monitor
for the XM3 CableUPS
®
Installation and Quick Start Guide
The AlphaNet DSM3 Series (DSM3, DSM3x, DPM models) Embedded DOCSIS Communications Module allows monitoring of Alpha power
supplies through existing cable network infrastructure. Advanced networking services provide quick reporting and access to critical powering
information.
DSM3 Series Communications Modules utilize Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management Information Bases (MIBs) to
provide network status monitoring and diagnostics. A Web interface enables authorized personnel direct local and remote access to advanced
diagnostics using a common Web browser. No proprietary cables or software are required.
The Communications Modules can be installed and congured for operation in the XM3-HP CableUPS® Power Supply. The major features of
the DSM3x are shown below; the DSM3 and the DPM models are shown on the following pages.
