Status Monitor/Local Control Module
Overview
A local control module and a status monitor are required for the Model GS7000
Optical Hub. A status monitor consists of a local control module with a
transponder core module installed in the housing. The same housing is used for
both units.
The units perform the following functions:
Local Control Module - controls redundancy and configures the modules
Status Monitor - adds remote status monitoring capability to the local control
module
Note: An existing local control module can be field upgraded to a status monitor
through the addition of a transponder core module.
Status Monitor Description
The status monitor is HMS compliant and provides hub monitoring and control
capability at the cable plant's headend. Commands are sent from the headend to
the status monitor. The following hub voltages and signals are monitored and their
status reported to the headend by the status monitor.
AC power presence and peak voltage (for split AC powering cases, AC
power from both sides of node housing is monitored)
DC voltages from both primary and redundant power supplies
Optical amplifier operating parameters
Optical switch operating parameters
Note: The transponder core communicates through the AC Entry module. The
optical hub must be on an RF plant in order to monitor the optical amplifier modules
and optical switch modules remotely.
Configuration parameters for the transponder core module, such as IP address, can
be changed using the PC-based GS7000 ViewPort software.
