1.638 Spacepath-TWTA

This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Spacepath TWTA over SNMP. It doesn't support redundancy parameters.

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 .

• --- The transmit parameters
• --- Displays meter readings like output power and BUC specific measurements.
• --- Displays the redundancy settings
• --- 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 amplifier.

• parameter --- description

• address --- The SNMP address specification for the device. The full address specification consists of the following fields:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community

  • aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd --- The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
  • pppp --- The IP port number where the device accepts SNMP requests. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 161 in this case.
  • read-community --- The SNMP read community name. This must match the read community expected by the device.
  • write-community --- The SNMP write community name. This must match the write community expected by the device. The write community name may be omitted, the driver uses the read community name for both, read and write in this case. If both community names are missing, the driver uses 'public' as a default for read and write community.

• powerDisplayMode --- Defines the display of gain or attenuation in the parameter section.

• lowLimitOn --- Defines the low rf output power limit behaviour

  • OFF - No Monitoring
  • TRIP - Low RF Alarm and switch off
  • WARNING - Low RF Warning

• highLimitOn --- Defines the high rf power limit behaviour

  • OFF - No Monitoring
  • TRIP - High RF Alarm and switch off
  • WARNING - High RF Warning

• lowLimit --- Defines the low rf output limit in W

• highLimit --- Defines the high rf output limit in W

• linearizer --- Switch on or off the integrated linearizer

• linearizerMagn --- Sets the linearizer magnitude as an integer 0-255

• linearizerPhase --- Sets the linearizer phase as an integer 0-255

• linearizerGain --- Sets the linearizer gain as an integer 0-255

• remoteMode --- Defines the remote control mode

• ctrlMode --- Defines the control mode. For usage with the satnms system only ALL and SNMP are suitable
