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 operational upconverter parameters --- Meter readings --- 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 controller.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The device address (decimal) as set at the device's front panel. |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface connected to the down-converter. It is recommended to operate the device at 19200,8N1 . |
Communication protocol / Interface type
This device driver requires the Vertex protocol. Please remember do define a address or use the factory default 0.
Installation
Before you can operate the down-converter with the satnms software, you must prepare the unit to match the interface parameters expected by the software.
