User Manual

9.758 Work-RSCM-Quad

This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Work Microwave RSCM N:1 Redundancy Switch when used with 4-channel up/downconverters.

Works-RSCM should be used for single channel up or downconverters
Works-RSCM-Dual should be used for dual channel up or downconverters
Works-RSCM-Triple should be used for triple channel up or downconverters
Works-RSCM-Quad should be used for quad channel up or downconverters

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.

--- The switch parameters
--- The channel 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 controller.

parameter --- description
address --- The device address (decimal) as set at the device's front panel.
converterType --- The units converter type. Informational only.
extRef.x --- The external reference source of the individual unit.
- INTERNAL
- EXTERNAL
- AUTO
bandSelect.x --- The band selection of the individual unit.
- BAND-1
- BAND-2
hasEqualizer --- Defines if the units are equipped with an equalizer.
