To reduce the risk of injury or death and to ensure the continued safe operation of the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP, the following symbols are used:

NOTICE: NOTICE provides additional information to help complete a specific task or procedure.

WARNING! GENERAL HAZARD: GENERAL HAZARD WARNING provides safety information to PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH to the technician or user.

The Ethernet port on the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP power supply allows a local technician access to that power supply. However, the power supply does not function as a router. A computer connected to the local Ethernet connection cannot connect to the optical network to function as a Customer-premises equipment (CPE) device.

Install a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical module into the SFP socket on the Cable Modem Module (CMM) of the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP power supply, making sure the module latches into place. Insert the associated fiber(s) into the opening on the protruding end of the module. Avoid excessive bends and tight turns in optical fibers as these add optical attenuation. Note that the electrical interface is limited to 10/100/1,000 Mbps data rates, and RF (DOCSIS®) support is not available when the SFP module is installed.

WARNING! GENERAL HAZARD: Do not look into the open end of an SFP module when the fiber is not installed, and do not look into the end of a fiber optic drop cable connector. The built-in laser may cause serious eye damage.

The following are recommendations for SFP modules to be used with the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP:

• SFP form factor modules with communication standards to 1 Gbps.

• Utilize SFP optical modules rated for industrial operating temperatures.

• The SFP port supports the following SFP module power ratings:

◦ EMM with blue or green colored PCBA supports SFP modules drawing up to 1.0W:

▪ XM3.1-HP™ power supply: p/n 704-00302-20-001 or 704-00302-30-001 or 704-983-20-001

▪ XM3.1-HP™ power supply, 3 and 5 Amp models: p/n 704-00304-20-001 or 704-00272-20-002

◦ EMM with red colored PCBA supports SFP modules drawing up to 3.3W:

▪ XM3.1-HP power supply: p/n 704-00302-30-002

▪ XM3.1-HP power supply, 3 and 5 Amp models: p/n 704-00304-20-002 or 704-00304-20-003

• Areas with hotter climates may require enclosure fan kits and/or SFP extension cables to meet the SFP thermal ratings.

• An RJ45 copper SFP module should only be used for a short connection to another communications device within the same cabinet.

The status of the SFP link on the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP is indicated on the online (OL) LED as follows:

• OFF: No SFP module or there is no signal from the other end of the fiber.

• FLASHING: The CMM is registering with the network.

• ON: The optical link is ready for use.

For any SFP module that reports status warnings and alarms, whenever there is an optical link on the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP, the Rx/Tx PWR LEDs indicate the status of the receiver optical power as follows:

• GREEN: The receiver and transmit power levels are acceptable (or the SFP module doesn’t report power status).

• BLUE: There is a WARNING for the receive power level.

• RED: There is an ALARM for the receive power level.

When the Rx/Tx PWR LEDs indicate SFP receive power, the indicated LED briefly blinks off once per second. If there is an SFP module installed, but there is not an optical link, the Rx/Tx PWR LEDs briefly blink red once per second.

The ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP offers three modes of operation to select for the SFP:

• Off (noAutoNeg): The SFP operates at a fixed 1G signaling rate and makes no attempt at any other rates. This is now the factory default.

• Hardware (hwAutoNeg): The SGMII MAC includes some auto-negotiation signaling behavior. This setting enabled communications over some optical links where the far side couldn’t otherwise register properly.

• Full (fullAutoNeg): The SGMII MAC includes auto-negotiation signaling behavior, with additional firmware support. This setting works best for a copper SFP modules (wired Ethernet) where the SFP PHY is capable of rate negotiation.

To navigate to the Auto-negotiation menu on the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP and choose your mode of operation, follow these steps:

1. From the home screen (OPERATION NORMAL), use the softkey to select the COMM menu.

2. Use the DOWN arrow soft key to navigate to the SFP – DIAGNOSTICS menu and press ENTR to access the submenus.

3. Use the UP or DOWN arrow soft key to scroll to AUTO – NEGOTIATION and press ENTR.

4. Use the soft arrow keys to select the SFP auto-negotiation type (Off, Hardware or Full). After making the selection, hit ENTR to save and go back to the main menu.

1. Connect an appropriate Ethernet jumper cable between the power supply local RJ45-based Ethernet craft port and the laptop.

2. Set the computer to the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP power supply network scope of 192.168.100.1.

3. On the connected laptop, open the network configuration application and set up the Ethernet interface for the following address:

• IP address: 192.168.100.10

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

4. Turn off or disconnect any other network connections on the laptop including wireless connections.

5. Launch an internet browser and navigate to the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP power supply web page address using http://192.168.100.1 or https://192.168.100.1.

6. When the web page appears, access the privileged mode by clicking “Login” in the upper right corner of the page.

7. After logging in, select the appropriate auto-negotiation setting (Off, Hardware, or Full) from the drop down menu for your SFP module.

8. Click “Save” at the bottom of the web page.

9. After a short time, the IP address assigned by the DHCP server will appear on the power supply’s Smart Display.

10. When communications are established, log out of the web page and disconnect the laptop interface.

The default auto-negotiation setting is off. Note that copper SFPs are used with external ONUs and other external devices. The typical settings are:

The ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP power supply requires an IP address to communicate over the optical link. By default, it looks for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It is not necessary to obtain both types, but provisioning cannot proceed until at least one valid IP address is obtained.

IPv4 Address: By default, the power supply uses the DHCP protocol to request an IPv4 address, network scope, default gateway, and other parameters. Alternatively, a fixed IP address, prefix length, and gateway can be configured locally through the Ethernet port using the web page or SNMP.

IPv6 Address: By default, the transponder attempts to auto-configure an IPv6 address using Stateless Address Auto-configuration (SLAAC) and also requests one using DHCPv6. Alternatively, a fixed IPv6 address, prefix length, and gateway can be configured.

The ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP power supply uses a MAC address for the optical link that is one higher than the MAC address for the cable modem link. To find it, add one to the MAC address listed on the label of the power supply.

Example: If the cable modem MAC address printed on the label is 00:90:EA:29:CE:F3, then the optical link is using MAC address 00:90:EA:29:CE:F4. If the cable modem MAC address printed on the label is 00:90:EA:29:CE:FF, then the optical link is using MAC address 00:90:EA:29:CF:00.

The optical link MAC address is also reported on the LCD (first entry in the “SFP – GENERAL” menu), and on the web user interface (“Overview” and “SFP” pages).

The configuration file for the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP is a simple text file of SNMP object assignments. Each non-blank line should be an OID (Object Identifier), a type, and a value to set. The # symbol indicates a comment.

The “type” can be any of the following:

• Int – the value is a signed number: hexadecimal if preceded by “0x”, octal if preceded by “0” and decimal otherwise.

• String – the value is any characters on the rest of the line past the space(s) following the “string” token, treated as a text string.

• Octet – the rest of the line is converted to a string of bytes, taking one- or two-digit hex byte values, separated by spaces.

• IP – the value is a dotted IPv4 address.

• OID – the value is a numeric SNMP OID.

The ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP reports the outcome of the configuration file processing in SNMP. You can verify the count of successful and unsuccessful entries. The system also reports the first line number where an invalid entry was detected and the specific error message. You can also use the web page to see the status and reload the configuration file.

To initiate a core modem firmware update, the firmware file (with a “.img” extension for DOCSIS 3.0) must be stored on a TFTP server reachable from the optical network. The firmware can be updated via the following methods:

• From SNMP: Set atiMgmtSysDownloadTftpServerAddress to the address of the TFTP server, set atiMgmtSysDownloadFile to the name of the firmware file, and then set atiMgmtSysDownloadCtrl to systemReprogram(6) to initiate the transfer.

• Using the web page: Log in with administrative rights, go to the Firmware Update page, fill in the “TFTP Firmware Update” section, choose “System reprogram” for Download Control, and click “Save Changes.”

If the transfer begins successfully, the download status will indicate downloading(10). The system will restart, causing a network interruption for several minutes, and then show a status of idle(1). If the transfer fails, the status will report error(8).

Component firmware files are identifiable with an “afwu” file extension. The most common way to update is to install the file on a TFTP server.

• From SNMP: Set atiMgmtSysDownloadTftpServerAddress to the address of the TFTP server, set atiMgmtSysDownloadFile to the name of the firmware file, and then set atiMgmtSysDownloadCtrl to reprogram(5) to initiate the transfer.

• Using the web page: Log in with administrative rights, go to the Firmware Update, fill in the “TFTP Firmware Update” section, including choosing “Reprogram” for Download Control, and click “Save Changes.”

If the transfer begins successfully, the download status will indicate downloading(10) then programming(11). When completed, the status will show idle(1). If the process fails, the status will report error(8).

NOTICE: This procedure does NOT work for the core modem firmware. Only the firmware file on your computer is needed, or a network location reachable from your computer.

1. Log in with administrative rights and go to the Firmware Update page.

2. In the “Direct Firmware Update” section at the top, click the “Browse” button to select the firmware file.

3. Click “Save Changes” to begin the transfer through a web browser. The page may take several seconds to respond while sending the file before indicating the update is occurring.

The core modem firmware files have associated component firmware files bundled in. By default, these are not automatically updated. To apply the bundled updates:

• In SNMP: Set atiMgmtCfgFwBundleControl to updateNow(1).

• From the Firmware Updates web page: Log in with administrative rights and click the “Apply Bundled Firmware” button.

The power supply will apply any firmware updates where the current versions are different from the bundled versions.

When DOCSIS isn’t being used on the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP, the receive/transmit power LED shows the status of the optical link.

NOTICE: Note that the quick flashes on the Rx/Tx LED always indicate an SFP power reading; a DOCSIS RF power reading indication does not have flashes.

When an SFP is installed in the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP, the LCD display adds two new sub-menus to the COMM menu:

• SFP – GENERAL: contains the most-used information about the optical link: the MAC address and any IP addresses for the optical interface, and the receive and transmit power of the SFP (if the SFP is able to report these).

• SFP – DIAGNOSTICS: contains more details about the optical link (status, uptime and configuration file) and the SFP. (The actual details about the SFP depend upon what information the SFP is able to present.)

The SFP connector on the ENERSYS ALPHA XM3.1-HP enables the following communication options:

• PON network

◦ Fiber using 1G PON

◦ SFP hosted fiber ONU 10G PON

◦ Copper SFP to operator ONU 10G PON

• Point to point fiber connection using SFP

◦ Single or dual dark fiber SFP

◦ Single or dual OOB ITU fiber channels to SFP

◦ Copper SFP Ethernet direct connection

• Other forms of connection

◦ Cellular modem to copper SFP

◦ Wi-Fi bridge to copper SFP

◦ Satellite communication to copper SFP

◦ DSL connection to copper SFP

◦ Other wireless or wireline link
