9.152 DEV-Distribution-2190

This page describes the device driver and the device window for DEV 2190 managed L-Band distribution system with up to 16 amplifier modules type DEV 11-0096. It includes level and alarm monitoring for rf and bias current without adjustment of the limits. Each port can be assigned with an sat-nms internal port name.

The driver does not support mixed configurations and redundancy switching.

The driver was tested with

• Firmware: 32-0059 Q.03

• Module type: DEV 11-0096

The driver reads out the number of installed modules and sets its parameters accordingly. 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 main frame parameters page.
• --- The faults page.
• --- The device info page.
• --- The maintenance 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 --- 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.

• readBackDelay --- Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances.

• port.xx.biasEnable --- Defines if the respective ports should supply a bias voltage
