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 .
--- Transmit parameters.
--- Meter readings. (Shows no data for this TLT model)
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.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.
