Alpha Upgrades Power Monitoring Firmware

Alpha Technologies has announced the availability of a firmware upgrade for its AlphaNet DSM3 Family of Status Monitoring cards.

The firmware upgrade, version 4.4.9.0_03.13, is designed to provide operators with greater network visibility and diagnostic capabilities including downstream QAM constellation monitoring, microreflection monitoring, DC generator support, and generic I/O device monitoring for accessories such as an enclosure moisture sensor or battery heater mat.

The AlphaNet family of networking products is designed to enable Alpha's XM3-HP, XM2-HP, XM2, XM2-300HP and GMX CableUPS to connect directly to an HFC network through an embedded DOCSIS cable modem.
