• Align & Troubleshoot reverse path quickly & Easily
• Supports 860 DSPi (R3, R4 and R5) and RSVP² (R3 and R4) field units
• Cost effective, scalable

Capture ingress at the speed of DSP

The 9581 SST Return Path Analyzer is the centerpiece of the Guardian Return Path Maintenance System, supporting Trilithic field units and supplying monitoring data to local and remote controllers.

The only DSP-based return path analyzer in the Industry, the 9581 SST is as cost-effective as it is fast and versatile. It can scan the entire ingress spectrum in less than 90 milliseconds (200 times faster than analog instrumentation can), effectively capturing transient ingress bursts that are especially disruptive to telephone and high-speed data services.

The 9581 SST accepts 16 inputs and covers the reverse spectrum from 0.3 MHz to 65 MHz. Because of DSP, these analyzers are unequaled for detecting ingress bursts occurring at low repetition rates. When set to its fastest scanning mode, the 9581 SST rescans all connected test points 80 times per second, making it virtually impossible for any relevant ingress impulses to escape detection.

Each return path unit occupies only 2U (3.5”) of rack space and lets the operator view spectrum data directly on a screen, stream data to the 860 DSPi (R3, R4, and R5) and RSVP² (R3 and R4) field units, or output data to a Communications Manager, which manages the transmission of ingress data to remote monitoring controllers. Versatile, Flexible and Scalable

The 9581 SST analyzer simultaneously supports:

• Installation tests
• Distribution sweep and maintenance
• Return path performance monitoring

Each 9581 SST can:

• Support up to 16 individual nodes
• Support up to 12 distribution techs
• Support dozens of installers
• Send traps and live spectrum data to as many as 64 server sites

Upgrading NCM Firmware

• Install NCM Setup version 3.00 or higher on your PC if not already installed.
• Copy the new firmware file NCM_V3_29.FW to your hard drive in the same directory as NCM Setup.
• Connect the NCM to the PC's COM port with the null modem cable provided with NCM Setup or use the network connection. See NCM Setup manual.
• Run NCM Setup and use the NCM Status command to check for proper connection to the NCM. See NCM Setup manual.
• Select the Upgrade Firmware option. Set the Port. If a network connection is being used enter the IP address of the NCM and the administrator password. The default password is admin. Click on the Select button.
• Using the Browse box point to the firmware file NCM_V3_29.FW on your hard drive. BE SURE YOU SELECT THIS FILE.
• The Progress bar at the bottom of NCM Setup will indicate that the NCM is being programmed. When programming is done a message will appear indicating successful programming.
• Wait 15 seconds and Select NCM Status. Verify that the NCM Firmware version is now 3.29. The upgrade is now complete and the NCM is ready for use
