Product Highlights
Description
The Optical Status Monitor (OSM1) is designed to provide status reporting and alarming for Alpha power supplies and batteries at Aurora VHub installations when no copper RF connection is available for a traditional DOCSIS transponder connection.
The OSM1 connects to and communicates ower supply status through the Aurora management network designed for monitoring the VHub components. The OSM1 consists of an optical interface module connecting the Alpha power supply into an existing VHub using a standard fiber drop cable. Power supply data is communicated to the head-end via existing fiber where an Aurora controller module displays the power supply status in Aurora's Opti-Trace software and converts the data to a standard SNMP format. The power supply data can then be integrated into the operators' existing power supply Element Management System.
