Chapter 4 Operating the Modulator
Mute the RF Output of a Selected RF Module
This section contains instructions for enabling the RF mute option. During
installation, for example, use this procedure to mute the RF output before you
connect the RF OUT ports to the distribution plant.
Enabling or Disabling a Muting Option
Follow these steps to enable or disable a muting option for a selected RF output.
Important: The RF output state established from the front panel of the MQAM is not
recorded by the DNCS. At the next MQAM restart, the RF output state reverts to the
value stored in the DNCS.
