--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Maxtech LRC-1200 1:2 LNA/LNB redundancy controller. The command set is the same as for Vertex-RSC-1200 but the message body contains an asterisk as last byte. The driver was tested with version: **E000 1.27]
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 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 device.
| 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 unit with the satnms software, you must prepare the unit to match the interface parameters expected by the software.
