Usage

General

This page contains general information about the XPRF14-FR router system. This also includes a Reset button, which you can use to reset the system.

System

This page contains the Card Status, Product Features Supported, Power Supply and Fan Status tables.

Engineering

This page contains the system's engineering parameters. This includes the ability to do a system restore and to download the factory tech file.

The page also contains other parameters, such as the FC Serial Number and Board Revision.

Input

This page contains the Inputs table, which allows you to control the Gain Control, Power Gain and LNB Power of the inputs. The table also shows the Power Status of channels A and B.

Output

This page contains the Output table. For each output channel, the Output Name column in this table displays the actual name of that output channel. For each output, a button is also available that allows you to enable or disable the output. The Input Source column allows you to manually specify an input for a specified output. This will then be shown in the matrix on the Crosspoints page. The Output Power Gain, Output Power Raw, and AGC Gain columns allow you to specify a value in dBm for a specific output.

Crosspoint

This page contains the Matrix Control for the input and outputs of the XPRF14-FR router system. The matrix allows you to set and remove crosspoints. The result of this will be reflected in the Outputs Table.

Traps

This page contains the Traps Destination Table, System Traps and the IO Card Traps in the form of a tree control. To enable or disable traps, press the toggle button for the corresponding table or tree control.

IO Traps

This page contains input and output trap tables for all inputs and outputs. The controls on this page are similar to those on the Traps page.
