The SM needs to know the node's hardware configuration (number of receivers, 
transmitters, power supplies, and AC lines mounted or connected) so that it can 
monitor and control the node's behavior correctly.  This configuration data is stored 
in an EEPROM residing on the SM main board. 

The SM includes an HMS compliant transponder module that plugs into the LCM 
main board and has been programmed to emulate a legacy CheetahNet™ CMX 
transponder.  The transponder is designed to work without manual configuration 
and is provisioned and managed by the CheetahNet system. 

The required setup steps are: 
1  Install the SM/LCM in the node. 

Note:  Refer to Installing the SM/LCM (on page 12). 

2  Configure the LCM using the Auto-Setup button. 

Note:  Refer to Configuring the LCM Using the Auto-Setup Button (on page 23) 
for instructions. 

3  Configure the SM using the CheetahNet system. 

Note:  Refer to the instructions in the next section. 

 

The Configuration Wizard is the primary tool used to add devices to the CheetahNet 
system (formerly know as NetMentor).  For additional information please refer to 
the CheetahNet Administration Guide (Tollgrade part number 6510-30-0357) that 
was provided with the CheetahNet software.  You can also access the document 
from the Help menu within CheetahNet. 

Before adding the GS7000 Node Seg2Way SM/LCM device into CheetahNet it is 
important to have the following information: 

  

Its RF address 

  

The serial number and physical location where the transponder is being installed 

Note:  The person adding the device into CheetahNet must also be aware of the 
naming conventions used in the software to identify a device as well as the 
associated HEC's (headend controllers), RF Modems, RPSs (reverse path switches) 
and RPS port number on which the device will be communicating.
