Multi-Band Transceiver System
Redundant Configuration
The following commands and rules configure operation of this feature.
Step
Procedures
1
The power supply provides +18V with a 450 mA current limit.
2
The bias tee supply is controlled by issuing the 'LCS=2m' command as follows:
a.
3
In case of excessive current (more than 450 mA), the supply will be disabled and a fault will be
posted. The 'LCS=2m' command must be sent again to re-enable the supply.
4
To enable programmable current monitoring, the following steps are taken:
a. The desired output is enabled as outlined above.
b. The nominal current is calibrated using the CLC=2 command.
c. The programmable current window is specified using the LCW=2xx command. Where 'xx'
d. If a current is detected outside this window, a LNB current fault will be posted, but the

Gain Equalization of Redundant Units
Uplink Gain equalization in an MBT-4000B system is accomplished by issuing individual
attenuation settings to the specific BUCs.
