9.362 Miteq-Downconverter-9900-SNMP

This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Miteq down-converters 9900 series via SNMP It detects the frequency range and sets it´s range accordingly.

It was tested with a C-Band downconverter:

• SW revision 172138 v1.057

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
• --- 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 Downconverter.

• 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.

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

• gainRange --- Adjust the gain range to match the respective downconverter.

• ifFrequency --- Sets if frequency between 70 MHz and 140 MHz.

• impedance --- Sets units impedance between 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm.

• band --- Sets the band number between 1 up to 16

• frequencyDac--- Sets external frequency reference DAC .

• deviceComment --- An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines.
