Chapter 3 Configuration
5 Set the TX Level to the desired output power level for the transponder.
6 Wait for communication to be established.
Note: Once the transponder is registered, the Receive LED on the SM remains
solid green, while the Heart Beat LED blinks slowly. Also, the Channel Status
field for the SM/LCM displays "Registered".
7 Configure the LCM/node using one of the following methods.
a Using the Auto-Setup button. See Configuring the LCM Using the Auto-Setup
Button (on page 20).
b Using remote configuration capabilities. See Using Remote Configuration
Capabilities below.
Using Remote Configuration Capabilities
A Model GS7000 Hub/Node can be configured from the headend ONLY if certain
pieces of software are loaded at the headend, as follows.
If a MIB browser is used: GS7000 Proprietary MIB (part number 7014169) is

required. This MIB has some of the configuration elements. However, EDFA
and optical switch settings, as well as those related to other modules, can be
found in the HMS MIB.
If the element management tool RosaEM is used, be sure to have version ATL

RosaEM 3.3.40 or higher.

Application Software Remote Download and Upgrade

The Status Monitor module supports upgrading the application software image
through remote download to the transponder core, Local Control Module, GS7000
EDFA, and GS7000 Optical Switch modules. Remote software download and
upgrade is accomplished using the industry-approved standard ANSI/SCTE HMS
Download MIB.
Details on the use of this MIB are provided in SCTE-HMS-DOWNLOAD-MIB (on
page 47). For additional information, see the industry-approved reference
specification for the ANSI/SCTE HMS Download MIB, ANSI/SCTE 38-8 2009 Hybrid
Fiber/Coax Outside Plant Status Monitoring SCTE-HMS-DOWNLOAD-MIB
Management Information Base (MIB) Definition, available from the Society of Cable
Television Engineers (SCTE).
You can use any element management system (EMS) that supports this MIB to
remotely download and upgrade application images to the Hub Node or Optical
Hub. If a compatible EMS is not available, use the HmsDownloadTool.exe software
utility provided with the Cisco Phoenix RF Modem and included on the software
distribution CD. This modem is required for IP communications with the
transponder. To establish communication with the transponder, the utility must be
installed and running on a PC, and the Phoenix RF Modem must be configured in
gateway mode.
