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 RS-232 or RS-485
connections in the circular COM connector either by remote computer interface or by local
operator inputs through the external hand held control unit.
