9.1 Initial Startup 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 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 Communications Module’s Ethernet port using a
standard network cable. Launch an Internet browser and enter 192.168.100.1 into the Address.
The Communications Module 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.
