APPENDIX 1 LOCAL CONTROLLER LCD INTERFACE SCREEN 1 (Illustrates unit in standby mode, showing table A parameters, fault indicator on, and output in Watt scale) ONLINE / STANDBY When the HPA system starts up, HPA goes into a standby mode. By pressing ONLINE button, unit goes into online (transmission) mode.
SCREEN 2 (Illustrates unit in standby mode, showing table B parameters, fault indicator on, and output in dBm scale) dBm / Watt This button enables FWD and RFL POWER readings to be in either WATT or dBm scale. TBL (B) (or Table (B)) Pending on system configurations, it will display some or all of below internal system parameters.
SCREEN 3 (Illustrates unit in standby mode, showing AGC setting under ALC menu, fault indicator on, and output in dBm scale) ATTEN GAIN CONTROL (or ATTENUATING GAIN CONTROL / AGC) This menu is active when ALC (Automatic Level Control) is OFF. This feature enables an operator to set the total gain of the system within 20 to 25dB range of maximum gain (If a total system gain is 50dB, maximum attenuation cannot exceed 50dB).
SCREEN 4: (Illustrates unit in standby mode, showing ALC setting under ALC menu, fault indicator on, and output in dBm scale) ALC CONTROL (or AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL / ALC) This menu is active when ALC feature (Automatic Level Control) is ON. This feature enables an operator to set the total output of the system within 20 to 25dB range at a given output setting (If a total system output is 50dBm, maximum ALC level cannot be configured above 50dBm).
SCREEN 5: (Illustrates unit in standby mode, showing status windows under FAULT menu, fault indicator on, STAT shows CLEAR, FAULT, ALARM and output in dBm scale) FAULT Indications Pending on system configurations, FAULT section will display some or all of below monitoring parameters. OVER INPUT POWER Activates when input power to the system is greater than factory preset safe operating levels.
ALC ON/OFF Window ALC OFF Window ALC OFF: ALC OFF button. ALC ON: ALC ON button. SET ATTEN GAIN: Storing the attenuation value set to the system. Attenuation value setting window.

COMM Window BLUETOOTH: Select the BLUETOOTH communication selection button. ETHERNET: Select the ETHERNET communication selection button. IP CONFIG: IP, MAC address settings window button. SET PARA: The system default setting value button: Do not change setting! ERR LOG: System operation and FAULT message button. MONITORING: Data information window button at time the communication.
IP ADDRESS SETUP Write to System: Save the IP or MAC address settings to the system. “1234”, written when saving password window (ⓔ). Read from System: Import IP or MAC address that is stored in the system. Write to File: Save the IP or MAC address settings to a text file. ETHERNET ENABLE / ETHERNET DISABLE: Enable or Disable ethernet.
