Upgradeable To 8600S; Presets In Optimod-Fm - Orban OPTIMOD-FM 8500S Operating Manual

OPTIMOD-FM DIGITAL
Remote software allows the user to access all 8500S features (including ad-
vanced controls not available from the 8500S's front panel), and allows the user
to archive and restore presets, automation lists, and system setups (containing
I/O levels, digital word lengths, GPI functional assignments, etc.).
•
SNMP support allows you to control and monitor the 8500S over your network
by using the SNMP protocol and compatible software.
•
The 8500S includes a Telnet client that allows presets to be recalled via batch
files using the free PuTTY and Plink applications. The commands are simple
ASCII strings, facilitating interface to automation systems that can emit such
strings through an Ethernet or RS232 serial connection.
•
OPTIMOD-FM contains a versatile real-time clock, which allows automation of
various events (including recalling presets) at pre-programmed times. The clock
can be set automatically from an Internet timeserver.
•
A Bypass Test Mode can be invoked locally, by remote control (from either the
8500S's GPI port or the 8500S PC Remote application), or by automation to per-
mit broadcast system test and alignment or "proof of performance" tests.
•
OPTIMOD-FM contains a built-in line-up tone generator, facilitating quick and
accurate level setting in any system.
•
OPTIMOD-FM's software can be upgraded by running Orban-supplied
downloadable upgrade software on a PC. The upgrade can occur remotely
through the 8500S's Ethernet port or serial port (connected to an external mo-
dem), or locally (by connecting a Windows® computer to the 8500S's serial port
through the supplied null modem cable).
•
Silence alarm and digital audio fault tally outputs are available.

Upgradeable to 8600S

•
Via a purchased upgrade kit, the 8500S can be upgraded to full 8600S func-
tionality via a network connection without removing the unit from the rack.
This upgrade adds Orban's exclusive MX limiter technology, which uses a built-in
psychoacoustic model and other advanced signal processing techniques to add
about 2.5 dB more high frequency power handling capability, lower distortion,
and greater transient impact.

Presets in OPTIMOD-FM

There are two distinct kinds of presets in OPTIMOD-FM: factory presets and user
presets.
