HMS Transponder 9106x

The Cisco Hybrid Management Sub-layer (HMS) transponder offers monitoring and

control capabilities for Cisco amplifiers and nodes deployed in HFC networks managed

by a HMS-compliant Monitoring and Control (M&C) system. The transponder is

compatible with any HMS-compliant M&C system including Cisco’s ROSA™ NMS

(Network Management System) and ROSA Element Management System (EMS). By

supporting interoperability with both current and future HMS-compliant M&C systems, the

new transponder enables operators to continue to integrate Cisco products into existing

or new HFC networks. Communications with the transponder is accomplished via the

built-in fully frequency agile forward RF data carrier receiver and reverse RF data carrier

transmitter.

The HMS transponder is currently available for Compact Amplifiers and Nodes. The transponder is

a true plug-in module and plugs directly into the monitorable amplifier or node’s transponder socket.

Since the Compact Amplifiers and Nodes have an individual transponder socket, the transponder

can be snapped into place without interrupting service. No special mounting kits or cables are

required and all test points will remain fully accessible at all times.

The HMS transponder monitors vital operational parameters, including:

●

RF level of the forward data carrier (transponder Rx)

●

24 V DC supply

●

AC supply voltage

●

Internal temperature

●

Monitoring the alarm status of the amplifier/node

●

Control of the 3-state reverse switch

●

Control RF level of the reverse data carrier (transponder Tx)

●

Control a variety of parameters depending on product (amplifier or node)

●

HMS standard sub-layer MIBs

Data Sheet Frequency Agility The transponder has a Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) data modem (frequency agile within specified bandwidths), which has the proven robust ability to resist radio interference. Frequency agility enables the customer to alter receive and transmit frequencies of the transponder. No programming of the HMS transponder is required. For fast registration within EMS, it is recommended that you program the Rx frequency prior to installation. No field set-up or adjustments are required.
