XP-DSM Hardware Installation Quick Start Guide
Power
Before installing the hardware, congure the network. This allows the installation to be veried while the technician is on-site,
eliminating the need for a second visit if there are any problems with the installation. See the XP-DSM Network Conguration Quick
Start Guide or the XP-DSM Technical Manual available at www.alpha.com for complete network conguration and hardware installation
instructions.
Provision the XP-DSM's RF MAC Address and CPE
MAC Address
The RF (modem) and CPE (DSM) MAC Addresses are printed on barcode
labels on the front and side of the XP-DSM, as well as on the packing slip.
• Provision the XP-DSM’s RF MAC Address as if it were a residential
customer modem, so that it will accept a CPE device.
• If operating in Dual IP Mode, provision the CPE MAC Address so
that it will be assigned a valid IP address on the public CPE network
through the modem.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, remove the inverter module
from the power supply prior to XP-DSM installation. For units in
service, backup battery power will not be available during this
procedure.

Hardware Installation
1. Verify the power supply device address is correct.
Power supplies must have 1, 2, or 3 as an address, and no two power supplies monitored by a single
XP-DSM can have the same address. The address can be changed in the SETUP menu of the power
supply's smart display. See the power supply's technical manual for more information.
2. Install the XP-DSM.
• Turn off the XM2 battery breaker and disconnect all inverter module connections.
• Loosen the inverter module thumb screws and slide the inverter module out of
the power supply just far enough to disconnect the ribbon cable. Disconnect the
ribbon cable and remove the inverter module. If the inverter module is equipped
with a communication module, remove it by loosening the two Phillips captive
screws.
• Insert the long side (if applicable) of the 18-pin jumper into the side of the inverter
module.
• Line up the 18-pin jumper with the XP-DSM connector and connect the unit to the
inverter module.
• Tighten the two captive screws to secure the XP-DSM, re-install the inverter
module, and reconnect the ribbon cable.

3. Make battery Sense Wire Kit connections.
See the battery diagrams that came with the sense wire kit or reference the XP-DSM Technical Manual.
4. Connect the RF drop and make front panel connections.
The recommended downstream RF level is 0 dBmV, but can be anywhere in the DOCSIS range (+/- 15dBmV).

5. Initial Start-up and Test
• Plug the power supply into the AC outlet and turn on the battery breaker.
• The XP-DSM LEDs blink three times and the RDY light begins blinking
on and off.
• Verify no alarms are active.
• Verify the DS and REG LEDs are on solid. This veries that the XP-DSM
has registered an IP address on the public network.
• Verify LNK LED is ON solid.
6. Test the Connection
Check the connection using a personal computer and a Local Port Adapter
Cable (Alpha Alpha P/N 745-826-21). Terminal Emulation software is necessary
(HyperTerminal is recommended). Serial communication settings are:
Baud: 19200 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Flow Control: None
1. Launch the terminal emulation software and hit ENTER to display the
menu of CIB tables.
2. Enter >tex and hit ENTER to display the contents of the TEXT table.
3. Check to see that CM IP is populated with the cable modem’s IP address
and CM/RF ENET with the RF MAC Address. If in Dual IP Mode, check
that IP ADDR IN USE is populated with the CPE IP address and ENET
ADDR with the CPE MAC Address. See the example to the right.
