1.0 Introduction
The AlphaNet DSM3 Series 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. This manual focuses on the three models of the DSM3 Series
Communications Module complementing the XM3-HP CableUPS.
The 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 access to advanced diagnostics using a common Web browser. No custom
software is required. See Table 1-1 for model specications.
Primary Features:
• 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating standard Ethernet interface
• Supports SNMPv1, v2c
• Extensive power supply diagnostic MIBs
• Embedded Web server for direct diagnostics
• Environmentally hardened DOCSIS cable modem and Communications Module
• Local Ethernet port provides technician on-site access to extensive power supply diagnostics*
• Angled RF connector reduces cable bend radius
• Diagnostic LEDs
• North American or Euro DOCSIS available
* Ethernet port also permits the connecting of external CPE devices
