Page 5: Introduction
1.0 Introduction The RFS-SP8T is an single pole, 8 throw solid state RF switch, with signal bandwidth of 0.1 GHz to 8 GHz. The switch position is set by pressing one of eight front panel momentary switches, or via LAN interface. An RS232 port is provided for configuring the switch IP address, and other operating parameters Figure 1 –... -
Page 6: Front Panel
The current RF switch position is indicated by a red LED. A green power indicator LED is also mounted on the front panel Figure 2 – RFS-SP8T Front Panel RFS-SP8T RF Switch Matrix Users Manual Document number 2000481... -

Page 8: Lan Connector
Momentary switch that generates a hardware reset when pressed. Note: Following reset (or power up) it takes 3 or 4 seconds for the unit to initialize and attempt to establish communication on the LAN. RFS-SP8T RF Switch Matrix Users Manual Document number 2000481... -
Page 9: Rs232 Commands
To use the RS232 commands, connect a computer running a terminal emulator program (e.g. Hyperterm) configured for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. Upon reset, the RFS-SP8T will display the sign on message as shown below (all examples use Hyperterm): The ‘>’... -

Page 16: Socket Interface
5.0 Socket Interface The RFS-SP8T firmware provides socket commands to set/read the RF switch position, lock/unlock the front panel momentary switches, and read the firmware version and serial number. Each command is described in the following sections. The examples assume a TCP/IP socket has been established with the RFS-SP8T on port 14000. -
