ETL Systems HWK-10
Hawk Matrix is typically used for RF signal routing for LEO and MEO gateways, as well as small HTS ground stations and deployable VSAT terminals. The 1U Hawk Matrix has the capacity for two 8x8 matrix cards, which can be combining (fan-in) or distributive (fan-out), for uplink and downlink applications. It can be fitted with any combination of cards depending on the application, and it is ideally suited for smaller gateways with multiple modems and one or two antennas.

- IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 161).
SNMP Settings:
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device (default: public).
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device (default: private).
Web Interface
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
How to use
The connector contains two 8x8 matrices. You can set a crosspoint in the matrices by clicking the desired crosspoint in the matrix UI on the Matrix View page.
The General page will display the overall system health and the standard SNMP parameters (MIB RFC-1213).
Information about the different modules can be found on the Modules page.
CPU and PSU information is located on the corresponding CPU and PSU pages.
All crosspoint information (Inputs/Outputs/Locking/Blocking) can be consulted on the Hawk Input and Hawk Output pages.
Notes
The initial version of this connector only allows manipulation of crosspoints. Locking and blocking are not implemented yet.
