    HANNEL LOPE DJUST Comtech EF Data’s CSAT transcievers provide two operating modes for the Receiver IF and Transmitter RF output channel slopes; ‘Calibrated’ and ‘Manual’ modes. • In Calibrated mode, the CSAT firmware uses a calibration ‘lookup’ table based on the selected frequency to determine the optimum channel slope setting.

    5 to 25 Watt C-Band Transceiver Revision1 System Operation MN/CSAT506025.IOM • In Manual mode, the customer adjusts the channel slope using the DSA and USA commands defined in the next section. Associated Remote Command(s): DSM=, USM= 6.3.8 C HANNEL LOPE DJUST Both the Receiver IF output and the Transmitter RF output channel slopes are user controllable.

    TROUBLESHOOTING This appendix is intended to provide procedures to assist operator and maintenance personnel in the checkout, maintenance and troubleshooting of the transceiver. Comtech EF Data recommends that spare replacement transceivers be used to replace transceivers removed from the system for maintenance. The input and output signals, the interconnecting cables and the location of the modules are as shown in Figure 7-1.

    Appendix A. REMOTE CONTROL A.1 I NTRODUCTION This appendix describes the protocol and message repertoire for remote monitor and control of the CSAT Outdoor terminal. The electrical interface is either an EIA-485 multi-drop bus (for the control of many devices) or an EIA-232 connection (for the control of a single device), and data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form, using ASCII characters.

    5 to 25 Watt C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Remote Control MN/CSAT506025.IOM A.1.2 EIA-232 The EIA-232 interface is provided at the 19-pin circular J5 connector. The interface provides the five signals shown in the table below. The CSAT only requires three wires (TD, RD, and Ground), the other two signal are provided for terminal equipment that requires RTS/CTS handshaking.
