Inputs 1 & 2 are active. The Receiver supports the Link Remote Triax System (L1273/4), which allows downconverters to be sited remotely (up to 1km from the receiver). This can be set to Single or Dual mode; in Single mode, 2 downconverters are mounted remotely, and the triax system is connected to RF1 and RF2 on the Receiver. -
Page 17: Decoder Menus (L2174, L2170)
Note that the Receiver frequency will not change according to the downconverter type, unlike previous Link products. This greatly simplifies setting up the unit to work with multiple downconverter types, and also when switching between downconverters that cover the required frequency range. -

the Camera Volts are displayed. In both modes there is also a bar across the screen that represents the MER from the best RF input. Background: This is only displayed if the overlay is turned on. This allows the opacity of background of the overlay to be varied from Off (transparent) to 100% (opaque). -

Status pin: The Status pin in the CC/ALM connector (see section 6.9) is an open-drain output that connects to Ground when active. By default this is when an Alarm occurs; it is possible to select whether it is active high or low. It can also be driven manually using this menu, however. 9.4.4 Service 9.4.4.1... -
Page 21: Web Browser Operation
Web Browser Operation The Lynx receiver has a 10/100M Ethernet port on it (see 6.10) that can be connected to any standard Ethernet network. It will work with either a normal or crossover cable. In order to use the Web browser interface to control the unit, the following IP (Internet Protocol) parameters need to be set to match your network: IP address, Network Mask and Gateway address. - Page 22 If any changes are made then two new boxes appear: Accept Changes and Cancel Changes: The unit’s routing configuration will not change until the Accept button is clicked. Note that the paths change colour to assist in following the different routes through the unit. 9.6.2 Configuration Pages The other tabs on the web interface allow the unit to be configured in the same way as the front panel menus.
