1.4 Configurations
The HPCST-5000 can be ordered with various configurations, including:
" Single Thread Configuration
" 1:1 Redundant Configuration
1.4.1 Single Thread Configuration
Note: Refer to Section 3 for a detailed description of the single thread configuration.
The HPCST-5000 outdoor terminal consists of weatherproof components for uplink and
downlink requirements. The single thread configuration (Figure 1-3) has been designed
for antenna or pole mounting. The HPCST-5000 has a single customer-interface
connector for remote monitor and control.
The on-board microcomputer monitors and controls the operational parameters. This
Monitor and Control (M&C) system enables the customer to locally or remotely control
functions such as:
" Input/Output attenuator level
" TX Output On/Off
" TX/RX channel frequency
The HPCST-5000 reports terminal configuration status, as well as fault status of all
components. The RFT-500 can be initially configured by an optional on-board keypad, or
an optional KP-10 Hand-Held Keypad, or by a connection of a common ASCII/EIA-232
or EIA-485 terminal connected to the serial port at the system interface connector (P1). A
simple command set allows configuration control and retrieval of status information.
Refer to the KP-10 Hand-Held Keypad, Installation and Operation Manual.
