1 GainMaker Node SMC Status Monitor Transponder Installation Instructions Overview Introduction The GainMaker Node System Monitoring and Control (SMC) Transponder (part number ) is designed to be installed in the lid of the GainMaker Node housing. The SMC Transponder can be configured after it is installed in a powered node, either on a test bench or on site. The transponder must be configured before it can be activated in the Transmission Network Control System (TNCS). Purpose These installation instructions will enable cable system operators or installers to properly install and configure a GainMaker Node SMC Transponder in a GainMaker Node. Audience This document is intended for authorized service personnel who have experience working with similar equipment. The service personnel should have appropriate background and knowledge to complete the procedures described in this document. Qualified Personnel Only appropriately qualified and skilled service personnel should attempt to install, operate, maintain, and service this product. WARNING: Allow only qualified and skilled personnel to install, operate, maintain, and service this product. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage may occur.

To Mount the Transponder in the Node Housing Complete the following steps to mount the transponder in the node housing Rev C 3

4 Installing the Transponder 1 Record the SMC address and physical location of the node for reference by network management software. Write the physical location on the gray label on the transponder module (see figure).

Note the position and orientation of the transponder in the lid of the housing. WARNING: Protect yourself from electric shock and your system from damage. Take precautions when working with this equipment. Certain components can deliver electrical shock or cause burns. 3 Position the transponder module with the bar-code label facing you. Align the connectors on the other side of the transponder module with the mating connectors on the interface board. Use the two tabs on the other side of the transponder as a guide to position the transponder module correctly. 4 Push down on the module of the transponder module until it clicks into place. 5 Tighten the two module retaining screws on the transponder to 6.2 in-lb (0.7 Nm). Transponder Signaling Three front-panel status LEDs indicate the transponder operating condition Rev C

5 Installing the Transponder LED Heart Beat Receive Error Indication This green LED flashes approximately once per second if the transponder receives the correct voltage. This green LED flashes if data packages are detected (e.g., to another transponder). If the data packages are addressed to this transponder, the LED flashes for 3 seconds. This red LED flashes during start-up. If this LED illuminates during operation, a system failure has occurred Rev C 5

6 Configuring and Enabling the Transponder Configuring and Enabling the Transponder You must configure the transponder before activating it in TNCS. You can configure the transponder after installing it in a powered node, either on a test bench or on site. You can configure the transponder in one of two ways: Locally, using the Handheld Programming Terminal, Model 1200 (part number A ) Remotely, by letting the transponder and the EMS perform automatic configuration Note: Remote configuration requires the transponder and EMS to find available transmit and receive frequencies. When using this method, be sure to allow for a delay of up to 14 hours in communication. To Configure the Transponder Locally Complete the following steps to configure the transponder using the Handheld Programming Terminal. 1 Insert the 3-mm plug of the Handheld Programming Terminal into the Local Control Port on the transponder. Note: Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the port. 2 Confirm that the handheld is powered up and that the transponder is responsive. If the GainMaker node is active, the green Heart Beat LED will blink to indicate that the transponder is operating. 3 Set the configuration parameters as needed for your installation. See Configuration Parameters below for descriptions. 4 Disconnect the handheld, close the housing, and tighten the closure bolts to the proper specifications. Refer to the housing installation instructions for torque specifications. To Configure the Transponder Remotely Complete the following steps to configure the transponder remotely. 1 Allow up to 14 hours for the transponder and EMS to find available transmit and receive frequencies. 2 Enable the transponder via the EMS and confirm that the transponder is responsive. The green Receive LED on the transponder will flash for 3 seconds to acknowledge packets received from the EMS. 3 Set the configuration parameters as needed for your installation. See Configuration Parameters below for descriptions Rev C

7 Configuring and Enabling the Transponder 4 Close the housing and tighten the closure bolts to the proper specifications. Refer to the housing installation instructions for torque specifications. Configuration Parameters Set the following configuration parameters as required for your installation. Menu/Parameter Description 1 - Unique ID This is the identification number of this transponder. The number cannot be changed. 2 - SMC ID ( ) 3 - Transmit Frequency (5-65 MHz) 4 - Receive Frequency ( MHz) 5 - Transmit Level ( dbµv) 6 - Baud Rate, kbps (9.6, 19.2, or 38.4) 7 - Main Switch (On, -6 db, Off) 8 - Aux1 Switch (On, -6 db, Off) 9 - Aux2 Switch (On, -6 db, Off) 10 - Relay Control (Primary, Redundant) The SMC address is the address that the management software uses to identify transponders in the network. Each transponder must have its own address in the network. The factory setting is 9998, but can be changed from except for address 9999, which is reserved for test purposes. Sets the frequency that is transmitted from the transponder to the RF modem. The factory setting is 9 MHz, but can be changed from 5-65 MHz in 50 khz steps. Sets the frequency that the transponder receives data from the HFC modem at the headend. The factory setting is 109 MHz, but can be changed from MHz in 50 khz steps. Sets the carrier level transmitted by the transponder. The factory setting is 100 dbµv (40 dbmv), but can be changed from dbµv (24-50 dbmv) in 2 db steps. Sets the communication speed that is used by the management software and the HFC modem. The factory setting is 38.4 kbps. The reverse switch for the Main output can be placed in the ON, OFF, or -6 db attenuation mode. The factory setting is ON. The reverse switch for the Aux 1 output can be placed in the ON, OFF, or -6 db attenuation mode. The factory setting is ON. The reverse switch for the Aux 2 output can be placed in the ON, OFF, or -6 db attenuation mode. The factory setting is ON. The transponder can select the Primary or the Redundant optical receiver with the Relay Control function. The factory setting is Primary Rev C 7
