The AlphaNet DSM3 Series Embedded DOCSIS Communications Module allows monitoring of Alpha power

supplies through existing cable network infrastructure. Advanced networking services provide quick reporting and

access to critical powering information.
The DSM3 Series utilizes Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and standard Management Information

Bases (MIBs) to provide network status monitoring and diagnostics. A Web interface enables authorized

personnel direct access to advanced diagnostics using a common Web browser. No custom software is required.

This manual addresses the three models of the DSM3 Series. The table below compares the differences between

the Communications Module models.

Primary Features:

• 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating standard Ethernet interface
• Supports SNMPv1, v2c
• Extensive power supply diagnostic MIBs
• Embedded Web server for direct diagnostics
• Environmentally hardened DOCSIS cable modem and Communications Module
• Local Ethernet port provides technician on-site access to extensive power supply diagnostics*
• Angled RF port reduces cable bend radius
• Diagnostic LEDs
• North American or Euro DOCSIS available (Euro models in parentheses)
