XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 System Operation MN/XSAT7080.IOM 3.2 T XSAT URNING N THE The XSAT does not contain a ‘Power On/Off’ switch. The XSAT is powered ON by connecting the J3 “AC Power” connector to the appropriate prime power source. See Section 1 for detailed requirements for the ‘prime power source’.
XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 System Operation MN/XSAT7080.IOM 3.3.3 G FFSET Both the Receiver and the Transmitter Gain Offsets are user configurable. The Gain Offset are only used in redundant configurations. The user can use these parameters to adjust for gain difference between two XSAT Transceivers used in a 1:1 redundant configuration.
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.
XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 System Operation MN/XSAT7080.IOM 3.3.9 R EFERENCE REQUENCY DJUST A manual, fine adjustment of the internal 10MHz reference frequency is provided as a user controllable parameter. This parameter can be varied within the range 000 to 255, with the factory default setting at 087.
XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 System Operation MN/XSAT7080.IOM • If ‘Auto Fault Recovery’ is ON and the same situation occurs, the XSAT will automatically be unmuted and return to normal operating mode. To protect against repetitive, momentary faults, if the XSAT experiences five occurrences of the same fault, the ‘Auto Fault Recovery’...
EDUNDANCY ONTROLLER ANUAL The Operating mode of the Comtech EF Data Redundant Switch Unit (RSU-5060) can be set via a command to the ONLINE XSAT. The RSU-5060 initializes to the AUTO mode when power is first applied. • In AUTO mode the RSU-5060 monitors the state of the two XSATs and will automatically switch the OFFLINE unit online if the ONLINE unit faults.

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.
XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 Remote Control MN/XSAT7080.IOM 4.2.1.2 A DDRESS Up to 9999 devices can be uniquely addressed. In RS-232 and RS-485 applications, the permissible range of values is 1 to 9999. It is programmed into a slave unit using the Set Physical Address (SPA) command.

XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 Remote Control MN/XSAT7080.IOM For example, in a message from master to slave, ‘UAT?’ would mean return the current value of the transmit attenuation. From Slave to Master, the only permitted values are: = (ASCII code 61) ? (ASCII code 63) ! (ASCII code 33) * (ASCII code 42)
XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 Remote Control MN/XSAT7080.IOM The # code (slave to master) is only used as follows: • If the master sends an instruction code which the slave cannot currently perform because of hardware resource issues, the slave will acknowledge the message by echoing the invalid instruction, followed by the # character.

XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 Redundant Systems MN/XSAT7080.IOM 5.3.3 SWITCH CMD SIGNAL Pin V on the J5 connector is the ‘SWITCH CMD’ input pin. The user can use this signal to command the RSU-5060 to change the position of both the Tx and Rx transfer switches. This pin should normally be left OPEN and momentarily shorted to ground to force a switch over (minimum pulse width for this signal is 100 mS).
5.4 C ONFIGURING EDUNDANT YSTEM Comtech EF Data’s Redundant XSAT system was designed to reduce the workload of a Customer M&C system in two manners. • First, the RSU-5060 can be configured to automatically monitor the status of the two XSAT’s and always keep the unfaulted XSAT ONLINE.
Chapter 6. THEORY OF OPERATION This chapter contains a general description of the theory of operation for the XSAT downconveter and upconverter sections. The XSAT can be used for SCPC, DAMA AND TDMA, as well as for full transponder HDTV and analog TV, applications. The description in this section is for the standard 25Watt transceiver.
XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 Theory of Operation MN/XSAT7080.IOM 6.1 RF S IGNAL ONVERSION 6.1.1 D OWNCONVERTER The RF input to the downconverter is in the 7250 to 7750 MHz frequency range at a typical level of -45 dBm. The input signal is mixed down to the 1590 MHz IF in the first conversion mixer. High side LO injection is used for this mixing process.
XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 Theory of Operation MN/XSAT7080.IOM 6.1.2 U PCONVERTER The RF input to the upconverter is at 70 ± 18 MHz at a typical level of -35 dBm which would provide an output power back-off of 8 dB. In operation, the input signal is mixed up to the 1350 MHz IF in the first conversion mixer operating at a fixed frequency with low side LO injection at 1280 MHz provided by the upconverter IFLO.
XSAT7080 X-Band Transceiver Revision 0 Theory of Operation MN/XSAT7080.IOM 6.2 M & C ONITOR ONTROL The Monitor & Control (M & C) unit is designed to monitor the functions of the transceiver, and provide the control for remote command inputs to the up and down converter sections. It controls the attenuator settings, the frequency settings, and it monitors the alarm system and logs any alarms that might occur.
This chapter is intended to provide procedures to assist operator and maintenance personnel in the checkout, maintenance and troubleshooting of the transceiver. Comtech EF Data recommends that spare replacement transceivers be used to replace transceivers removed from the system for maintenance.
