The page 'Setup' contains the L-Band Switch Matrix installation parameters. Installation parameters are those which are assumed to be changed less frequently than the operational parameters on the 'switch' or 'graphic' page.
The page displays a table with the parameters actually set. Each parameter value is a hyper-link to a separate page which lets you change this parameter. This parameter change page shows the actual parameter setting either in an entry field or in a drop down box. You may change the parameter to the desired value and then click to the 'Submit' button to pass the changed value to the The L-Band Switch Matrix. The L-Band Switch Matrix automatically returns to the setup page when the parameter has been changed. To cancel a parameter modification you already started, either use the 'Back' button of you web browser or click to the 'Setup' button on navigation bar. Both returns to the setup page without changing the parameter you edited.
The table below lists the settings provided by this page.
| Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|
| General | |
| Type of Frame | The Type of the LSM frame: matrix for all switch matrix models and switch for the N:1 switches. |
| Date/ Time | If you want to set the Date and/ or the Time, type the actual Date and Time in the following syntax: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS It is not possible to change only one of both parameters. |
| refresh graph | Here you can configure the refesh-time for the Dot-Matrix Graph that shows the sources for the outputs. You can choose between "5s", "10s" and "none". If "none"s selected, the graph will not be refreshed, when a setting is chaged via remote control or frontpanel operation, until you press the refresh-button of you browser or until you press the 'Graphic'-button again. |
| Number of the outputs | Set here the number of available outputs of the The L-Band Switch Matrix |
| Number of the inputs | Set here the number of available inputs of the The L-Band Switch Matrix |
| Interface baudrate | select here the bit rate for the RS232 Interface. You can choose between 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 baud |
| Communication adress | This parameter defines the communication address to be used with the serial interface. You may select an address 'A' .. 'G' for the packet mode communication protocol or 'NONE' to switch the communication mode to a plain text protocol. |
| Display mount direction | with this parameter you can select if the display is mounted in horizontal or vertical direction. |
| Input names | you can assign a name with up to 20 characters to every input. |
| Output names | you can assign a name with up to 20 characters to every output. |
| SNMP Configuration | |
| Read Community | Sets the SNMP community string expected for read access. The default is 'public'. |
| Write Community | Sets the SNMP community string expected for write access. The default is 'public'. |
| Trap Community | Sets the SNMP community string sent with traps. The default is 'public'. |
| Trap Destination IP 1 | Enter the trap destination IP address (dotted quad notation) to make the L-Band Switch Matrix sending traps by UDP to this host. Setting the parameter to 0.0.0.0 disables the trap generation. |
| Trap Destination IP 2 | Enter the trap destination IP address (dotted quad notation) to make the L-Band Switch Matrix sending traps by UDP to this host. Setting the parameter to 0.0.0.0 disables the trap generation. |
| Trap Destination IP 3 | Enter the trap destination IP address (dotted quad notation) to make the L-Band Switch Matrix sending traps by UDP to this host. Setting the parameter to 0.0.0.0 disables the trap generation. |
| Trap Destination IP 4 | Enter the trap destination IP address (dotted quad notation) to make the L-Band Switch Matrix sending traps by UDP to this host. Setting the parameter to 0.0.0.0 disables the trap generation. |
| System Location | The L-Band Switch Matrix replies to MIB-II sysLocation requests with the text entered at this place. |
| System Contact | The L-Band Switch Matrix replies to MIB-II sysContact requests with the text entered at this place. |
| Access Control | |
| User password | Here you can define the password for the 'user' login. Default password is 'user'. When you are logged in as 'user' you are only able to change the parameters on the 'Switch' and 'Graphic' pages. All the other paramters can only be changed when you are logged in as 'admin' |
| Admin password | Here you can define the password for the 'admin' login. Default password is 'admin'. When you are logged in as "admin" you are only able to change all the paramters of the unit. |
Real Time Clock battery backup
The L-Band Switch Matrix real time clock is backed up by a goldcap capacitor. The goldcap supplies the RTC chip with power for several days if the main power is missing. This is the preferred mode of RTC backup for stationary installations of the L-Band Switch Matrix.
For applications where the L-Band Switch Matrix is powered up only occsionally, a lithuim cell may be connected inside the L-Band Switch Matrix housing in order to provide a permanent buffering of the clock.
