AlphaNet™ IDH4 Series DOCSIS® Status Monitor for XM2, XM2-HP, and XM2-300HP Series CableUPS™
Installation and Quick Start Guide
The AlphaNet IDH4 Series Embedded DOCSIS Transponder allows monitoring of Alpha power supplies through existing cable network infrastructure. Advanced networking services provide quick reporting and access to critical powering information.
The IDH4 Series 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 or proprietary cables are required.
The transponders can be installed and configured for operation in the XM2, XM2-HP, or XM2-300HP Power Supply.

Overview
CAUTION!
For units in service, backup battery power will not be available during this procedure.
IDH4 Series installation and setup is comprised of three basic steps:
1.Configuring the Network: Provisioning the DHCP Server with the transponder’s MAC Address and assigning it a
DOCSIS Configuration File.
2.Setting Options: The IDH4 Series is designed for out-of-the-box, "plug and play" operation, but non-default settings such as SNMP trap destination addresses may be required for the Network Management System (NMS). SNMP trap addresses can be set automatically via the DOCSIS Configuration File per RFC 4639, while IDH4 Series proprietary options may be set through type-11 TLV entries. The SCTE-HMS and Alpha MIBs may need to be compiled into a MIB browser before it can be used to monitor or set transponder and power supply parameters. Refer to the IDH4 for XM2 and XM2-HP Technical Manual (Alpha p/n 746-257-B2-001) for details.
3.Installation:Installation of the IDH4 Series into the power supply, connecting the RF Cable, battery sense wire harnesses (IDH4X only), Environmental, Tamper switch, Ethernet, and verifying operation.
These steps can be performed independently of one another. However, configuring the network prior to field installation will allow the installation to be verified while personnel are still on-site. Performing field installation before network configuration and before the installation can be verified, might result in additional field service calls to correct mistakes.
IDH4X Installation / Replacement Procedure in XM2 and XM2-HP Power
Supplies
1.Before removing the Inverter Module (IM), verify the power supply device address is correct.
The power supply device address must not be set to zero and no two power supplies monitored by a single IDH4 Series can have the same address. Power supplies must have 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 as an address.
To verify the power supply’s address, go to the LCD display on the inverter module and enter the "Setup" menu. Scroll to the "Device Address" menu item and verify the device address is set to something other than 0 (Zero).
2.Switch OFF the power supply’s battery breaker.
NOTE:
With the battery breaker in the OFF position, the power supply will not go into inverter mode.
3.Unplug all Inverter Module connections (e.g. battery cable, remote temperature sensor).
4.Loosen the Inverter Module thumbscrews and slide the inverter module out just enough to disconnect the ribbon cable. Disconnect the ribbon cable.
5.Slide the Inverter Module out of the power supply.
