Monitoring and Managing Transponder and Power Supply Parameters.
A network management system (NMS) is software used to monitor transponder and power
supply parameters on the network. The XP-DSM operates with an any NMS that supports
SCTE-HMS standards.
The MIB browser is a valuable networking tool that enables personnel to remotely manage
and configure an individual transponder through the SNMP-HMS and Alpha MIBs. The
SCTE-HMS and Alpha MIBs must be compiled in the MIB browser in order to access all the
power supply and transponder parameters. (see Sections 6.1 and 6.2 ).
A Web interface enables personnel direct, read-only access to transponder and power supply
parameters using a common Web browser. It may be used to verify installation (see Section
9.3 ). In the default Single IP Mode, only Web browsers inside the private network have
access. While in Dual IP Mode, power supply data can be monitored on the public network
(see Section 2.2 ).
Transponder and power supply parameters can be monitored and options set locally using a
laptop or PC with a Local Port Adapter (Alpha P/N 745-826-21) ( Section 4.0 ).
