The DSAM Wavetek™ Series Field Meter family provides
a combination of DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS cable modem
installation meters for the on-site installation and service of
high-speed data and video services.
Using exclusive digital signal processing and integrated
DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS chipset technology, the meter
communicates with the network CMTS to verify suitable
conditions for cable modem installation from the
subscriber's location. The DSAM is also equipped with
signal level meter capabilities, including spectrum scan-
ning for ingress assessment and mini-scan analysis of up
to twelve analog and/or digital channels. The meter's
AutoTest capability makes installations easier and more
reliable than ever before.
JDS Uniphase Corporation has incorporated exclusive
DSP, DOCSIS, and analog technology to enhance your
DSAM's usability and provide significant flexibility as addi-
tional features become available. Upgrading the meter
can be as simple as downloading a file from the Internet
and installing it onto the device using optional FDM utility
software.
