COMSPHERE 3800Plus Modems

3811Plus Faceplate and Shared Diagnostic Control Panel (SDCP)

The shared diagnostic control panel (SDCP) is used to manage carrier-mounted 3811Plus modems. Use the SDCP to issue commands to view and select configuration options on, or to monitor tests for, a specific 3811Plus modem.

The faceplate of the 3811Plus contains LED status indicators that monitor the operation of the modem. After the SDCP is connected to the modem, the Front Panel indicator of the selected modem lights to show that the modem is connected.

Figure 4-2 shows the SDCP and the shared diagnostic unit (SDU) it interfaces with.

Status Indicators

The status indicators on a 3800Plus modem continuously provide information on the modem's operating condition. All of the status indicators on the 3810Plus or 3820Plus modem are on the DCP (Figure 4-1), whereas the status indicators for the carrier-mounted 3811Plus modem are located on its faceplate, the SDCP, and the SDU faceplate (Figure 4-2).

The standalone 3810Plus or 3820Plus modem's DCP has 13 LEDs, and the carrier-mounted 3811Plus has 16 LEDs. These LEDs are listed and described in Table 4-1; LEDs specific to one model type have the appropriate model number shown in the table.
