High Power C-Band Satellite Terminal Introduction
Rev. 0 1–3
The system also reports terminal configuration status, as well as fault status of all
HPCST-5000 components.
The RFT terminal can be initially configured by a keyboard/LCD controller within the
enclosure, or by connection of a common ASCII/EIA-232 terminal connected to the serial
port at the redundancy system interface connector (RSU [J16]). A command set to allow
configuration control and retrieval of status information. If the customer M&C control
unit is a sophisticated M&C station computer; the serial port can be set to EIA-485 for
bus operation.
1.2 Applications
When used in conjunction with EFData modems, the HPCST-5000 is ideal for:
" Single digit carriers up to 2.048 Mbit/s.
" Multiple carrier operation over a 36/72 MHz bandwidth.
Note: Refer to Appendix A for the 140 MHz configuration.
Because the HPCST-5000 has a 70 MHz IF input, it can also be used for other analog and
digital applications.
Small-to-medium size earth stations are easily constructed and commissioned with the
HPCST-5000.
When used with a high-gain antenna, the HPCST-5000 can also be used as the Radio
Frequency (RF) electronics of a central hub in point-to-multipoint applications, as well as
serve as the terminal for the end points of a network.
