INTERACTIVE CONTROL

As an LXI-compliant device, the EX7000 has an embedded web server running which provides a JAVA applet for interactively configuring the box for its specific configuration as well as allowing for the direct control of components.

A functional list of the actual components within the enclosure is stored on-board in non-volatile memory. Opening of the Soft Front Panel (SFP) results in a graphical depiction of the various switching components along with an indication of the current state of their contacts. Simple mouse clicks on the web browser can easily and quickly open and close any contact.

The embedded configuration file can be edited using a simple SW tool called the Configurator. This is especially convenient when additional microwave switches are added in the field.
