Digital Services Activation Meter (DSAM)

Users can synchronize test les from the eld and administrators can update
channel plans over Ethernet or DOCSIS RF connections.
Meter Asset Manager
Monitor meters at a glance with the StrataSync asset manager to
quickly determine:
• The number of meters for each version in inventory
• Which eld meters have the correct test setups and rmware
• Which technicians routinely synchronize their meters and upload
data
StrataSync simplies DSAM meter test setup conguration. When
channel lineups are changed, supervisors can update all instruments
with the new channel plan quickly and ensure that technicians are
using the correct autotest with the latest limit plan.
Improved Reporting
The synchronization process and structure of StrataSync also serves as
a central repository for valuable eld test data. Traditionally, technical
operations underutilize test data, including sweep les, because of
the diculty of storage and retrieval, but with StrataSync this data
can be easily maintained and retrieved. Retrieval is accomplished
using the instrument’s synch process or through standard browser
access to StrataSync. With a robust database and unique le structure,
StrataSync maintains all test data in a single database that managers
and supervisors can mine easily for value-added reports.
Rugged and Reliable
The DSAM’s rugged design withstands a 4-foot drop on all sides, and
withstands a 75-mph wind-driven rain at up to 4 inches of rain over a
1-hour period. With its lightweight design and ergonomic body, tech-
nicians prefer to use the DSAM to other meters. Easy to understand and
learn to use with its onboard help system, technicians can quickly use
the DSAM with minimal training.
Solutions that Improve Your Bottom Line
Increase productivity and make the jobs of managers and technicians
easier and more ecient with the unique functions of the DSAM and
StrataSync.
Enhanced Field Test Management
StrataSync, a cloud-based platform, gives eld service supervisors and
managers an advanced tool to manage testing activities, maintain an
accurate inventory of DSAMs, and baseline network and technician/
contractor performance.
StrataSync software lets supervisors easily congure, update, and upgrade
DSAM meters in the eld. It also lets more knowledgeable technicians remotely
control a DSAM in the eld with the StrataSync remote DSAM feature.
Remote RF Synchronization
The DSAM can save technicians 30 to 45 minutes every day with
remote RF synchronization that lets technicians synchronize data
both ways with StrataSync over the RF plant via a DOCSIS channel. A
supervisor or administrator can congure and store DSAM channel
plans and pass/fail limit plans in StrataSync for deployment to multiple
technicians.
With just one push of the synchronize function on the meter, the
technician can synchronize all channel plans, limit plans, and test
data with StrataSync. Technicians do not need to physically go to a
single PC to synchronize their meters. Alternatively, the technician can
connect an Ethernet-congured DSAM to any LAN connection for
the synchronization process. The DSAM makes it practical for a large
number of technicians to eectively upload test results at the end of
the day, every day, or even after every job.
