  • Page 8: Operation

    OPERATION On switching on the unit the STATUS indicator on the front of the unit should turn GREEN if all is OK. Please note that if a high stability crystal reference is included then the warm up time will be increased to 5 minutes as the high stability crystal takes much longer to phase lock to the PDRO reference oscillator.
  • Page 9 Configure This menu allows the user to configure different parts of the unit, the menu choice change depending on the unit, its options, and whether the unit is in remote or local mode. When in local mode all the menu items are available to the user to change, when in remote mode only the REMOTE CONTROL menu option is available.
  • Page 10 MUTE Allows the muting of the unit’s RF path. Figure 6 POWER DETECTION Figure 7 This menu shows the current input and output power levels as well as allowing the user to set the input power alarm level and compression alarm level. An input fault is generated if the input power level is less than the input alarm level set off this menu, this facility can be disabled via the “Disable I/P alarm menu option”.
  • Page 11 If the Ethernet module is fitted then the menus change slightly to: Figure 9 1 Set REMOTE mode - Sets the unit to allow control from a remote source. Pressing 1 again returns the unit to local mode. 2 Setup Communications - Allows the selection of RS485, RS232 or Ethernet communication. RS232, RS485 menus work in the same way as shown above.
  • Page 12: For 1 Redundancy

    REDUNDANCY The equipment can usually interface with the Peak CANBUS redundancy system for 1:1, 1:2 and 1:N redundancy systems, please check with the factory for specific options/availability. Figure 13 1 Identifier - The identifier for each converter can be either [A] or [B] in a 1+1 redundant system or [A], [B] or [STANDBY] in a 2+1 system.
  • Page 13: For 2 Redundancy

    online unit being taken over by the standby and then the standby will take over the RF path, making itself the online unit. 1 for 2 Redundancy For 1:2 switched redundant operation, three Converter units are required along with typically an R2000HH external switch unit for receiver units, T2000HH external switch unit for transmitter units.
  • Page 14: Upc

    Figure 15 When the unit is part of a UPC system it needs to be associated with a channel number, this is the menu option that allows this. It can be ignored for non-UPC attached units. The menu is not shown if the unit is not UPC controllable.
  • Page 15: Remote Control

    REMOTE CONTROL Serial Communications RS232/ 485 The unit transmits and receives data serially in an asynchronous format using the standard ASCII character set. The serial data consists of message frames composed of the following message characters: STX, BYTE COUNT, UNIT ADDRESS, INSTRUCTION, BODY, CHECKSUM, ETX.
  • Page 16: Ethernet

    Ethernet The Ethernet option for the equipment adds the ability to control the unit by Ethernet as well as by the existing standard RS232 or RS485, this is achieved via a separate module within the unit. The unit can be controlled through the Ethernet port using three different approaches. TCP Port The unit can be controlled using the serial remote control messages as described earlier sent through the TCP port set in the Ethernet menu option.
  • Page 17 The Peak SNMPv2 MIB files are available from Peak Communications Ltd website, below is a quick overview of them. The Peak Enterprises node is essentially split into three main areas: Converters - In this node there is a peakxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxModule showing a table of the Converter module(s), this is where the band of the unit can be checked/changed.
