Controller

Intel 8032 micro controller provides all M&C functions

Embedded Software

Revised embedded software may be downloaded to FLASH memory

 

with modem still in equipment racks. No EPROMs, no opening of the

 

case.

Configuration Memories

Up to 10 different configurations can be stored & recalled from the front

 

panel or remote M&C

User Interface

Clear & intuitive operator interface with plain English dialogue allows fast

 

and efficient configuration of modem. 80 Character, backlit, high

 

contrast, wide angle LCD 15 Key tactile full keyboard.

Remote M & C

For multi-drop applications, RS485 interface, for direct-to-PC

 

applications RS232 interface (front panel selectable).

 

M&C port may be directly internally linked to ESC port for distant end

 

`over the satellite` M&C without cabling.

Redundancy Features

1:1 redundancy controller built in.`Y` cables passively split data,

 

maintaining impedances. L Band inputs/outputs are passively

 

split/combined outside the units. Offline unit tri-states data outputs &

 

mutes Tx carrier.

BUC/LNB Support (P310)

 

Reference to BUC/LNB

Stability: See Internal Reference / Station Reference (clocking section)

 

Switchable from front panel / remote M&C.

 

Tx: at rear N-Type to BUC +7dBm +/-2dB

 

Rx : at rear N-Type to LNB 0dBm +/- 0.2dB

DC Supplies:

Switchable from front panel / remote M&C.

 

Tx: 24V or 48V factory option (100W)

 

Rx: 15V or 24V at 500mA

FSK Communications

P310: Option for duplex FSK Communication with Paradise BUCs

 

(P314). Provides control of BUC from modem front panel or by remote

 

M&C via normal modem M&C ports. Includes control and monitoring of

 

all BUC parameters available over FSK, and option to provide closed

 

loop power control to BUC flange.

Alarms:

User set hi/low current monitor window on DC supply to BUC

 

With FSK, all BUC alarms integrated into modem alarm handling.
