REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
6.1 Introduction
Ethernet‐based Remote Product Management of the LBC‐4000 L‐Band Up/Down Converter
System with Ethernet is available using the rear panel ‘10/100 ETHERNET’ port.
To proceed with Ethernet‐based Remote Product Management, assumptions are
made that:
• The LBC‐4000 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The LBC‐4000 is connected to a user‐supplied Windows‐based PC as follows:
o The PC’s serial port is connected to the LBC‐4000 rear panel ‘J1 | COM1’
port with a user‐supplied serial cable.
o The PC’s Ethernet port is connected to the LBC‐4000 rear panel ‘10/100
ETHERNET’ port with a user‐supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet
cable connection.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the
LBC‐4000 serial remote control interface) and a compatible web
browser (for operation of the LBC‐4000 Web Server (HTTP) Interface).
• The LBC‐4000’s Management IP Address has been noted using the LBC‐4000
Front Panel.
The sections that follow describe the functionality of the LBC‐4000 Ethernet Management
Interface. See Chapter 5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION or the Remote Commands Specifications
tables found in Chapter 7. SERIAL‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT for detailed
descriptions of many of the functions depicted throughout Sect. 6.4.5 Web Server Page
