1.66 AtlanTecRF-TLT

This page describes the AtlanTecRF-TLT device driver and its device window via AtlanTec-ASCII protocol. It was developed for AtlanTecRF (Atlantic Microwave/ETLSystems) Test Loop Translator of ALR series with synthesized LO.

It was tested with the Ka-band model ALR-00000000-Ka

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the device.

parameter description
address empty
accessMode Select Local or Remote access

The TLT may be controlled through it´s Ethernet interface. The default tcp port number for this is 4000. Assuming the TLT is set to an IP address 10.0.0.1, you have to configure a communication interface "10.0.0.1:4000" in the sat-nms VLC setup in order to make the software talk to the TLT.
