Status Monitor/Local Control Module Description

A local control module and a status monitor are available for the Model GS7000

Node. A status monitor consists of a local control module with a transponder core

module installed in the housing. The same housing is used for both units.

The units perform the following functions:

Local Control Module - controls redundancy and forward segmentation

Status Monitor - adds status monitoring capability to the local control module

The local control module locally monitors the following node voltages and signals:

Receiver optical input level (all receivers)

Transmitter optical output level (all transmitters)

AC power presence (for split AC powering cases, AC power from both sides

of node housing is monitored)

DC voltages from both primary and redundant power supplies

The local control module communicates serially with the RF amplifier module to

control the optional forward band redundancy switches on the forward

configuration module. It is a low-cost module that plugs into the status monitor

connectors on the optical interface board.

The local control module is equipped with a craft port to allow local control of the

optional forward band redundancy switches, the reverse band 6 dB (wink)

attenuators, and the reverse band on/off switches through a handheld controller.

All parameters monitored by the local control module can be reviewed using the

handheld controller.
