3.3.1 Universal M&C Status Window
The Universal M&C Software will initialize and open to the Status Window, the main
monitoring display. See
Figure 3-9
. The Status Window shows the the current conditions (or
state) of the Compact Outdoor SSPA. In addition, the status screen allow the user to alter the
Mute condition of the carrier and adjust the on-board Attenuator for gain control.
Upon connection with a unit, the M&C application obtains and displays the unit ID, the
amplifier’s model number and serial number. The SSPA module’s firmware version number is
also displayed here for convenience.
The unit’s network address and serial COM or IP address are also listed, which can be helpful
in optimizing serial communications.
3.3.1.1 Signal Indicators
Three rows of indicators show the connection status of the connected amplifier. Top-most is
an indicator that displays a green square when Connected, or a red square when
Disconnected. Immediately below are two indicators for the TX and RX paths. The third row
displays the mute state (Carrier Enable). This is actually a toggle which allows the user to
Enable or Mute the amplifier. See
