2.2.4.2 Serial I/O Control (J4)

2.2.4.2 Serial I/O Control (J4)

For serial data control of the Compact Outdoor SSPA, a Windows-based Monitor &Control program is supplied with the amplifier that allows all of the control and alarm functionality over a serial communication link.

Both RS-232 and RS-485 can be used to communicate with the amplifier. The amplifier default is to operate on RS-485 but can easily be set to RS-232 by pulling the RS-232/ RS-485 Select line low. This is done by connecting J4-Pin D to J4-Pin V.

The Mini Compact Outdoor Amplifier may be supplied with a Quick Start Cable in which this connection is already made. This allows the user to quickly setup the amplifier and verify its operation. The other side of the cable has a 9-Pin female D connector that mates with most notebook and desktop personal computers.

Communication links using RS-232 are typically good up to 30 ft. (9 m) in length. Installations exceeding this length can use the RS-485 mode which will allow serial control up to 4000 ft. (1200 m).

2.2.5 Link Port (J5) [MS3112E10-6S]

The interface connector is used to connect between two Compact Outdoor Amplifiers when used in a 1:1 redundant system. It is a 6-pin circular connector, MS3112E10-6S. It requires a mating connector, MS3116F10-6P. A link cable is provided with a 1:1 Redundancy Kit, which can be purchased separately. See Table 2-3for a pin-out of this connector.

2.2.6 Switch Port (J6) [MS3112E10-6S]

When used in a 1:1 redundant system, the waveguide switch must be connected to the switch port of each amplifier (MS3112E10-6S). See Table 2-4.
