3.2.3 Quick Start RS-232 Connection

The following steps outline how to quickly connect to your Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA using the RS-232 Quick Start cable.

1.Unpack the amplifier and connect the RF Input and RF Output.

2.Ensure the J1 RF Output port is properly terminated.

3.Connect the AC input power to connector J7.

4.When shipped from the factory, the Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA is set to start up muted.

5.Connect the supplied “Quick-Start” Control Cable from Port J4 of the SSPA to one of the COM ports on your computer. This connection will unmute the amplifier. Review the cable schematic in Figure 3-5.

6.Launch the Windows-based Paradise Datacom Universal M&C Software.

NOTE: If the Mini Compact Outdoor unit is powered up with the RS-232 Quick Start Cable connected to Port J4, the following default conditions apply to the unit:

•Serial Interface

•RS-232 Communication

•Baud rate: 9600

•Amplifier is un-muted
