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 DSM3 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 DSM3 Series used in conjunction with the XM3-HP power supply, network connectivity can
be verified via the COMM menu on the XM3 Smart Display. The following provides a list of parameters
available on the XM3 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.
