AM's Solution for Remote Testing Press Release
For Immediate Media Use
Minacom (now Tektronix) and AM Networks Announce VoIP, Internet and Video Loopback Testing to DOCSIS Transponders.
Cable operators can quickly segment service quality issues with remote tests to any transponder in the HFC plant to speed troubleshooting and provide unrivaled monitoring visibility.
Montreal, Canada, 26 April, 2006 —Minacom (now Tektronix), the leading Service Level Test Automation TM provider to Cable MSOs, and AM Networks, the foremost provider of HFC plant monitoring systems announced today support for triple-play service validation using AM Networks’ DOCSIS power supply transponders as remote test probes. With this enhancement Minacom PowerProbe 6000 & PowerProbe 500 platforms can perform non-intrusive Real-time Transfer Protocol (RTP) / IP loopback tests to troubleshoot and validate the quality of VoIP, digital TV, video-on-demand (VoD), Internet and Fax-over-IP services. In addition, the DOCSIS® 2.0 compliant management information bases (MIBs) in AM Networks’ transponders can be queried by Minacom’s DirectReach cable transponder test agent to retrieve performance and reliability data........ read more ...

Model 9362C DOCSIS Transponder Model 9362C DOCSIS Power Supply Transponder
AM Networks announces the Model 9362C, an improved version of the 9362 DOCSIS power supply transponder. The 9362C is a drop-in replacement for the 9362 (see note), with the following additional features:
- DOCSIS 2.0 certification;
- Mis-wiring protection to prevent unit damage when battery wires are improperly connected;
- A USB local port to enable installation verification and troubleshooting;
- Use of AC-scaled level from USM card to report output voltage (calibration no longer necessary);
- Integrated DC power supply – a separate DC power cable is no longer needed.
Note on backwards compatibility with the 9362:
The Model 9362C has been designed with backwards compatibility in mind, to facilitate an easy transition to the 9362C for existing 9362 customers. The 9362 and the 9362C use the same firmware image. All 9362 wiring harnesses are compatible with the 9362C. The DC power supply cable, while not need with the 9362C, can be plugged in without any risk of damage.
Because the 9362C now uses AC-scaling from the USM card, a switch/jumper setting on the USM card must be changed when replacing a 9362 with a 9362C. This is the only difference in hardware configuration between the two models.
The 9362C is a DC-powered device only; i.e., it cannot be powered by the AC output of the power supply. The 9362 is still available from AM Networks to support those rare instances where the unit must be powered by the AC output because the power supply does not have DC standby power.
