9.1 Initial Start Up and Local Verification
To confirm successful hardware installation before leaving the installation site, verify network connectivity and
correct hardware interconnection.
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 XM3-HP power supply, network connectivity can be verified
via the COMM menu on the XM3-HP Smart Display. The following provides a list of parameters available on
the XM3-HP Smart Display populated with sample values. Important communication parameters such as the
cable modem IP address, upstream and downstream power levels can be viewed on the COMM - GENERAL
menu selection to confirm network connectivity. If no RF power is detected at the RF connector, a COMM -
FAULT menu will populate in the COMM menu.
