Applications include traffic light controllers, security and traffic cameras and other outdoor devices requiring IP backhaul. The SMC8511 is pictured in Figure 1-1 mounted on a CATV strand. A flexible pipe mounting system is available as well. See Section 2 of this Manual Mechanical Installation for details of the mounting assemblies.
Power-Passing Tap Figure 3-1 Power from CATV System When the SMC8511 is to be CATV line powered the tap must be power passing and the attenuator value chosen to present the system standard levels to the internal cable modem. A surge protector (furnished) provides protection from system power events.
When the SMC8511 Outdoor Cable Modem is powered by means of PoE the connections are given in Figure 3-3, below. When the SMC8511 Outdoor Cable Modem is powered by 60-90 VAC CATV system power it can optionally provide 24 VDC output to an attached Ethernet device. The connections for this application are also as given in Figure 3-3, below.
Figure 4-1 SMC8511 Simplified Block Diagram SMC8511 Business Class Outdoor Cable Modem The simplified block diagram of the SMC8511 Outdoor Cable Modem is as shown in Figure 4-1. The SMC8511 includes a full-featured business class gateway DOCSIS modem. In standard operation the internal DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem (CM) will obtain an IP address from the head end DHCP server via the normal CM registration process as required by the particular CATV system.
5. SMC8511 Business Class DOCSIS Outdoor Cable Modem Features • Designed for commercial high speed Internet customers • Integrated DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem • One block of globally routable static IPs assigned to public LAN interface • Static IP and block of public LAN IPs enabled via RIPv1/2 •...
Defaults The SMC8511 Outdoor Cable Modem (OCM) defaults to the following: • Bridge Mode • CPE / remote management interface – disabled • Web server (GUI) RF interface – enabled on port 80 (HTTP) and 81 (HTTPS) CPE / remote management interface enabled on port 8080 (HTTP) and 8181 (HTTPS) •...
Principal Operating Modes 5.4.1 Bridge Mode When in Bridge Mode: • The Outdoor Cable Modem (OCM) only requests an RF interface IP address. • Logon to 192.168.100.1 (Ethernet interface) or RF interface IP to put OCM into Router Mode. • CPE (Ethernet) interface, Static IP and RIP are disabled.
