Chapter 3 User Interface Options - Harmonic PWRLink II 4100S Series Product Manual

This chapter describes:
• HLP 4200WD display
• NETWatch Site Controller
• Front panel RF adjustment
• Front panel LED indicators
Each PWRLink™ II 4100S Series Optical Transmitter module employs a
microprocessor, which makes it easy for you to communicate with and control
the transmitter. This chapter describes three options for such communication
and control. The options are:
• HLP 4200WD push buttons and display
The HLP 4200WD interface provides the most comprehensive means
of monitoring and controlling PWL 4100S performance.
The Autosetup and Reset to Factory Settings commands are available only
through this interface. For initial setup of the transmitter, Harmonic
recommends using the HLP 4200WD display, if available.
• NETWatch Site Controller Element Management System
Once installed and configured, NETWatch Site Controller provides a
straightforward way to monitor and control a network of multiple
PWL 4100Ss, either locally or remotely.
• PWL 4100S front panel RF adjustment
The RF adjustment potentiometer on the front panel of each PWL 4100S
module (shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 as RF Pad Adjustment) can be
used to set the internal RF pad level. Use this interface only if the first two
interface options are not available.
