Status Monitor/Local Control Module
Overview
A local control module and a status monitor are available for the GS7000 Node and
Hub Node. 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:

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 forward segmentation, and
configures the modules
configures the modules
Status Monitor - adds 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 node monitoring and control
capability at the cable plant's headend. The following node voltages and signals are
monitored and their status reported to the headend by the status monitor.
capability at the cable plant's headend. The following node voltages and signals are
monitored and their status reported to the headend by the status monitor.
Receiver optical input level (all receivers)
Transmitter optical output level (all transmitters)
AC power presence and peak voltage (for split AC powering cases, AC
power from both sides of node housing is monitored)
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
Commands are sent from the headend to the status monitor. The status monitor
communicates serially with the RF amplifier module to control the optional forward
band redundancy switches on the forward configuration module, the reverse band 6
dB (wink) attenuators on the reverse amplifier PWB, and the reverse band on/off
switches on the reverse amplifier PWB.
Note: Configuration parameters for the transponder core module, such as IP address,
can be changed using the PC-based GS7000 ViewPort software.
