LEARN
{PRIME 1 - 8, ALL}
Causes the Backup Unit to "Learn" all the settings of the
selected Primes. The Backup Upconverter can only
backup a Prime that it has learned. A backup test is
performed as the unit is learned.
FAULT DELAY:
{00050 - 10000}
Sets the delay between the time a Fault occurs in a
Prime Unit and the time it is acknowledged by the
Backup. The unit is Milliseconds (ms).
COMPENSATION:
{ENABLE, DISABLE}
Enables or disables the Compensation control described
in Prime Setup below.
PRIME SETUP:
PRIME #:
PRIORITY:
{0 - 8}
Sets the switching priority of a Prime Unit. If more than
one unit fails at the same time, the higher priority unit will
be backed up. Also, if one unit is currently backed up
and a second unit with a higher priority fails, the first unit
will be unbacked and the second unit will be backed up
(but only if Backup Mode is Auto-Revertive, see Backup
Mode above). The priority is set as follows:
0 = No priority (the switch will ignore the upconverter). If
at any time a Prime’s priority is set to 0, the
Backup will purge any learned parameters of
that Prime.
1 = Highest priority.
8 = Lowest priority.
COMPENSATION:
{- 5.0 - +5.0}
Offsets the gain of the Backup Unit to account for
variations in loss through the system. This allows the
user to ensure that the signal path of a particular Prime
Converter maintains the same output power when
backed up.
MONITOR:
BACKUP STATE:
{NONE, PRIME1 - 8}
Reports the current Backup State of the switch. If no
Prime is backed up, then the state is reported as
number is reported.
