*** News *** AM Communications Announces DOCSIS-based Power Supply Monitoring Transponders
Thursday December 5, 10:24 am ET
QUAKERTOWN, Pa., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AM Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AMCM - News) announced the development of two DOCSIS-based status monitoring transponders for Cable TV UPS power supplies.
The AM Model 9360 is an external transponder that employs DOCSIS signaling for communications over the RF network, and SCTE HMS-022 signaling to interface with the monitored power supply. The 9360 is fully interoperable with any UPS power supply that supports the HMS-022 interface. The AM Model 9361 is an embedded transponder that is designed specifically for mounting and interfacing inside the Alpha XM-II UPS power supply.
Both the 9360 and 9361 are fully compliant with the SNMP power supply monitoring MIBs specified in the HMS standards. This feature facilitates interoperation with network management software systems that support these MIBs, including full monitoring and control of all the power supply states. In addition, both transponders contain an embedded Web server that allows read-only monitoring from a simple Web browser, eliminating the need for special monitoring software.
In addition to monitoring and controlling the power supply, both transponders also provide additional monitoring information about RF levels, error rates, and other information available from the DOCSIS SNMP monitoring MIBs.
AM Communications will be demonstrating the 9360 and 9361 in Booth 4301 at the Western Cable TV Show in Anaheim, CA.
