7.1 Overview
Serial-based Remote Product Management of the MBT-5000 L-Band Up/Down Converter System is available using the rear panel ‘J1
COM 1’ serial port.
1) To proceed with Serial-based Remote Product Management, assumptions are made that:
• The MBT-5000 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The MBT-5000 is connected to a user-supplied Windows-based PC as follows:
o The PC’s serial port is connected to the MBT-5000 rear panel ‘J1 COM 1’ serial port with a user-supplied serial
cable.
o The PC’s Ethernet port is connected to the MBT-5000 rear panel ‘J9 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 MBT-5000 serial remote control interface)
and a compatible web browser (for operation of the MBT-5000 Web Server (HTTP) Interface).
• The MBT-5000’s Management IP Address has been noted using the MBT-5000 Front Panel.
