9.1 Initial Startup and Local Verification
To confirm successful hardware installation before leaving the installation site, verify network connectivity
and correct hardware interconnection.
9.1.1 To Verify Network Connectivity:
The DS and REG LEDs on the front of the IDH4 Series should be ON solid green. This indicates
successful registration with the headend. In addition, the RF LED should also be ON solid green
indicating proper RF power levels and the ALM/RDY LED should be blinking green for normal
operation.
With the IDH4 Series used in conjunction with the XM2-HP power supply, network connectivity
can be verified via the smart display. For other power supply models, verify the network status via
the Ethernet port.
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. Click on General to display the key communications
parameters including upstream and downstream power levels and the cable modem’s IP address,
which confirms connectivity.
