Transponder Description

The Cisco GS7000 DOCSIS Status Monitor Transponder module provides the ability
to manage fiber nodes and optical hubs through an existing DOCSIS cable modem
infrastructure. Please see your Cisco representative for a complete listing of
supported fiber nodes.

Overview

The transponder transmits data to a management system over the existing network
DOCSIS infrastructure using standard SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). Status monitoring information is compatible with ANSI SCTE HMS
standards.
The transponder:
Uses ANSI/SCTE HMS standards.

Measures analog or receives digital SCTE/HMS data from fiber nodes.

Can be network managed through your existing CMTS.

To the cable network infrastructure, the transponder appears as a DOCSIS 2.0 cable
modem. The transponder is assigned an IP address like any other DOCSIS device on
the DOCSIS network. The assigned IP address is used to access the HMS status
monitoring data via SNMP and the HMS MIBs.
For complete DOCSIS specifications, see the Cisco GS7000 DOCSIS Status Monitor
data sheet, part number 7020300.
