--- The Switch position.
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.This page describes the device driver and the device window for a Mini-Circuits ZT series custom switch using http (get/post) communications.
The driver is prepared to support MTS, SPDT, SP4T, SP6T and SP8T switches. Therefore the proper switch type has to be selected within the device setup.
If more than one switch is installed on the same controller multiple instances of the device may be configured in the sat-nms M&C to handle all switches. All devices referring to the same physical device must be configured at the same device thread / interface to ensure that HTTP requests to the device do not overlap.
It was tested with the following models:
Model: ZT-324 MSP6TA-12+
Firmware: 9-C7-1.
