Converter A / B
Typical for both sections:
•
Attenuation (dB): Enter a valid attenuation level (00.00 to 20.00 dB) in 0.25 dB steps.
•
Attenuation Offset (Converter A only): Enter a valid value, in dB, for the attenuation
offset.
•
Mute: Use the drop-down list to select the Mute function as On or Off.
•

•
LNA Current Source: Use the drop-down list to select this feature as Enabled or
Disabled.
•
LNA Current Window (%): This field defines the size of the LNA Current Window, and
determines the fault thresholds for the LNB current draw.
Any LNA current reading that is outside the window may generate an alarm, a fault, or may be
masked entirely depending on the state of the user configured fault mask (see the MSK command
syntax in Chapter 7. SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT for more
information).
