Alpha Outback Energy AlphaNet DM3 Series, Installation & Quick Start Manual

Page: 4 / 12

Overview
DM3 Series Transponder installation and setup is comprised of three basic steps:
1. Installation of the DM3 Series transponder into the power supply, making front panel connections and verifying operation.
2. Setting Options: The DM3 Series transponders are designed for out-of-the-box, “plug and play” operation. 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’s docsDevNmAccessTable per RFC 4639 (IPv4) or through the SNMPv3 Notification settings (IPv6),
while DM3 Series proprietary options may be set through type 11 TLV entries. The SCTE-HMS 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 DM3 Series Technical Manual for details.
3. Configuring the Network: provisioning the DHCP Server with the transponder’s MAC address and assigning it a DOCSIS configuration file.
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 might result in additional field service calls to correct mistakes.
