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 SSPA.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The device IP address and the SNMP community strings as set at the device's front panel. |
| powerDisplayMode | Select if you want to see gain or attenuation |
| rfUnits | Switch the display mode between dBm and W. This changes the front panel display and the messages of the remote control protocol, but the drivers display both at any time. |
| sysMode | Allows to select the system configuration. |
| standbyMode | Allows to select the standby mode in a redundant configuration. |
Communication protocol / Interface type
This device driver requires the SNMP protocol. Please remember to configure the ip settings (Main Menu - 2.Com Setup) and enable SNMP at the front panel
