menu> (Ref. Figure 3)

There are two (2) major modes of operation when using the CPXLINK Software:

Standalone: This mode is usually selected when used with a single XSAT.

One for One (1:1): The 1:1 mode is selected when two (2) XSAT’s are used in a redundant
system with a redundant controller box (RED box). This mode can allow the user to control the
online/offline XSAT through the RED box. See the
menu to control or view status parameters.

Note: The Redundancy Controller option in the

can only be

selected if the 1:1 parameter is highlighted and the (UPDATE) button is pressed to
program redundancy (1:1) mode.

It should be noted that when the 1:1 system is
selected, some of the menus may look slightly
different then when in standalone mode. The
major difference is that the user will have an
option to select XSAT #1 (A)* or XSAT #2
(B)*.

When selecting XSAT #1, the parameters and
controls are displayed for XSAT #1. Alternately,
when XSAT #2 is selected, the corresponding
parameters and controls are displayed for the (B)
XSAT.

*Note: XSAT #1 and (A) are used interchangeably.
The same holds true for XSAT #2 and (B).
