Initial Start-up
1. Plug the power supply into the AC outlet and turn on the battery breaker.
2. The XP-DSM LEDs blink three times and the RDY light begins blinking on and off.
3. Verify no alarms are active.
4. Verify LNK LED is blinking (not on solid).
5. Verify the DS and REG LEDs are on solid (this verifies successful network registration). A solid Registration LED
indicates registration with the CMTS. Use this indicator to confirm the communication with the headend.
