Chapter 4. SYSTEM OPERATING
PARAMETERS
4.1 Overview
An introduction to the Monitoring and Control (M&C) features of the MBT-4000 Multi-Band RF
Transceiver, as well as the operating parameters for the BUC-4000 Block Up Converter and
BDC-4000 Block Down Converter, are provided in this chapter.
4.2 Remote Configuration, Monitoring and Control
Remote monitoring and control (M&C) of the MBT-4000 is possible via use of a remotely-
connected PC or dumb terminal. From this location, the user may issue commands and queries to
configure, control, and monitor one or more MBT-4000 systems.
Complete information for these features is provided in Appendix A. REMOTE CONTROL.
4.3 Block Up Converter Module (BUC-4000) Operating Parameters
The BUC-4000 translates the MBT-4000 L-Band output carrier to the desired output frequency (C,
X-, or Ku- or Ka-Band) with an output level capable of driving a High-Power Amplifier (HPA).
