The Monitor & Control (M & C) unit is designed to monitor the functions of the
transceiver, and provide the control for remote command inputs to the up and down
converter sections. It controls the attenuator settings, the frequency settings, and it
monitors the alarm system and logs any alarms that might occur. Remote control inputs
are provided through the EIA-232 or EIA-485 connections in the circular COM connector
either by remote computer interface or by local operator inputs through the external hand
held control unit.
