Newtec AZ710
The Newtec AZ710 is a high-performance frequency upconverter designed for broadcast, telco, and IP satellite applications. It includes features such as a calibrated high linearity over the entire bandwidth combined with a very high frequency stability. In its default configuration, the AZ710 converts IF to L-band signals. The IF input frequency can be switched between 70 MHz and 140 MHz. The L-band output frequency ranges from 950 MHz up to 1750 MHz in steps of 48 Hz. Optionally, the AZ710 can be delivered with a C, Ku, or DBS-band with an L-band monitoring output.
The high output frequency stability is provided by an internal 10 MHz reference clock. For applications requiring a very high frequency stability such as very low data rate carriers, an optional reference clock of 0.01 ppm can be ordered separately. A DC power supply and a reference frequency on the L-band output are also available as options.
With this connector, you can monitor and control the Newtec AZ710 device via RMCP.

How to Use [2.0.0.x]
The Alarm Status page displays the Alarm Table, which contains an overview of the state of all the possible alarms in the system. If an alarm has the status Fail, you can manually clear the alarm by clicking the Clear button for that alarm. You can also check the corresponding Alarm Count, and you can reset that value to zero by clicking the Reset button.
On the Converter page and its subpages you can find information such as the RF Gain, Upconverter Frequency, and Converter Output Level.
