Cisco Euro-DOCSIS/DOCSIS Transponder
The Cisco Euro-DOCSIS/DOCSIS transponder offers monitoring and control capabilities
for Cisco compact amplifiers and nodes deployed in Euro-DOCSIS/DOCSIS networks.
The transponder provides services via a web interface (HTML) and Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). The transponder is designed for Euro-DOCSIS/DOCSIS networks and thus can
co-exist into networks serving modems of different versions of Euro-DOCSIS/DOCSIS Standards.
The transponder supports the HMS MIB, enabling operators to continue to integrate seamless
Cisco products into existing or new HFC networks monitored by HMS-compliant network
management systems.
Configuration and Monitoring
The transponder can be controlled either remotely or locally via a web interface allowing fast
diagnosis and control of the parameters of the transponder as well as the HFC devices.
The transponder module is equipped with a Mini USB port, which facilitates local access through a
web browser. It allows the user to monitor the Euro-DOCSIS/DOCSIS parameters and control all
settings of the connected HFC device.
Set-Up and Adjustment
The transponder is temperature hardened do that it can be used in outdoor amplifiers or nodes.
The transponder is a true plug-in module and it can be plugged directly into the available
transponder socket of nodes and amplifiers
1
. It registers automatically to the network. The
transponder utilizes the internal nonvolatile memory for storage of the important operational
parameters including the unit address.
The transponder can be plugged in without interrupting service. No special mounting kit or cable is
required, and all test points remain fully accessible at all times.
