  • Page 29: Tx Amplifier

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

  • Page 35: Chapter 4. Remote Control

    Chapter 4. REMOTE CONTROL 4.1 I NTRODUCTION This document describes the protocol and message repertoire for remote monitor and control of the XSAT Outdoor terminal. The electrical interface is either an RS-485 multi-drop bus (for the control of many devices) or an RS-232 connection (for the control of a single device), and data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form, using ASCII characters.

    XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 Remote Control MN/XSAT7080.IOM 4.1.2 RS-232 The RS-232 interface is provided at the 19-pin circular J5 connector. The interface provides the five signals shown in Table 4-2. The XSAT only requires three wires (TD, RD, and Ground), the other two signal are provided for terminal equipment that requires RTS/CTS handshaking.
