This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SERIAL CONNECTION:
Direct connection:
- Baudrate: Baudrate specified in the manual of the device, e.g. 9600.
- Databits: Databits specified in the manual of the device, e.g. 7.
- Stopbits: Stopbits specified in the manual of the device, e.g. 1.
- Parity: Parity specified in the manual of the device, e.g. No.
- FlowControl: FlowControl specified in the manual of the device, e.g. No.
Interface connection:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination.
SNMP Main Connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination.
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 element consists of the following data pages:
- General: Displays information about the ACU, the device status, the current mode, and the satellite that is being tracked. The subpages display information about the ACU, Satellites, Time, and Network.
- RF: Contains the Global RF and the Log Amp Attenuation values and configuration. The subpages contain tables for the RF Parameters, RF POL Parameters, and Bands.
- Position Designate: Displays the current position of the satellite. It also allows you to set the azimuth and elevation. The GEO and Polarization configuration is available on subpages.
- Site: Displays information about the site and the antenna.
- Presets: Allows you to check the current presets configuration and set the preset position.
- Stow/Deploy: Allows you to set and configure the Stow and Deploy modes.
- Offset: Allows you to set and configure the manual offset.
- Steptrack/Optrack: Allows you to set and configure the Steptrack and Optrack Modes.
- MemTrack: Allows you to set and configure the MemTrack modes.
- Travel Limits: Displays the travel limits.
- Encoder: Displays encoder information such as the Encoder Type, Encoder Offset, Encoder Azimuth, and Encoder Elevation.
- Axes: Displays the Azimuth Axis and the Elevation Axis information of the device.
