Test Connection
With the IDH4 Series used in conjunction with the XM3-HP power supply, network connectivity can be verified via the COMM
menu on the XM3-HP Smart Display.
Connect a computer’s network port to the transponder’s Ethernet port using a standard network cable. Launch an Internet
browser and enter 192.168.100.1 into the address. The transponder will return the Web page shown below. The General
Configuration page shown below will appear and display connectivity, power levels, and power supply status information such as
alarms, output voltage, output current, and individual battery voltages. System Name, System Location, System Contact and
Common Logical ID may be edited on this page; when prompted for a User Name and Password, use "Alpha" and "AlphaGet".

3. The IDH4 Series Status LEDs will all blink in unison upon initial power up. The RDY LED will then begin blinking steadily
indicating normal processor activity.
4. Verify the DS and REG LEDs are on solid. This verifies the Communications Module has registered an IP address on the
network.
5. Verify the RF LED is solid Green, indicating Upstream and Downstream Power is within the default specified range and the
Upstream RF Power is below the recommended +50 dBmV.
6. Verify no XM3 alarms are active.
