Network Monitoring; Configuration - Motorola Starline SG 2000 Installation And Operation Manual

N e t w o r k M o n i t o r i n g
The optional LIFELINE Status Monitoring System (LL-SG2) enables you to monitor the SG 2000
from a headend or a remote location. The transponder consists of a plug-in module mounted on the
main RF board. If you do not employ status monitoring and use redundant receivers and/or
transmitters, a manual control board (MCB) occupies the same position on the main RF board.
The entire LIFELINE system includes:
LL-CU control units
Status Monitor
Computer and
Software
LL-SG2-* Field
Installed
Transponders

Are connected to the system at the headend and interrogate each
SG 2000 field transponder with FM outbound and inbound
transmissions. A variety of outbound and inbound frequencies can be
selected depending on the configuration of the system. The control unit
reports this information to the status monitor computer.

Includes an IBM -compatible computer that is connected to the control
unit (CU) through an RS-232 link. LIFELINE software enables the
operator to view measurements taken by the transponders.
Installed in individual field components, this unit interfaces with the CU at
the headend. It reports such parameters as: forward amplifier dc current
draw, ac and dc voltage, temperature, automatic drive unit (ADU-*) drive
voltage, management and control of RF ingress switching, and tamper
status.
