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 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.
This guide addresses the two models of the IDH4 Series.
