E.1  GENERAL  GUIDELINES  REGARDING  RF  CONNECTIONS  & OPERATIONS WITH TEST INSTRUMENTS  Mute the MCPA prior to connect a signal source to the DONOR/BASE T/R PORT or SERVICE/SIDE T/R PORT.  Avoid excessive input power. o Do not drive the input signal above -20 dBm, which is the recommended maximum input level (composite).  Make sure your RF Test Instrument (Communications Monitor, Spectrum Analyzer, etc) has an input port rated for high RF power.  o Do not exceed the test-instrument’s input rating.  The system has been limited to a maximum gain of 120 dB. A -100 dBm sensitivity will limit to +20dBm maximum output, and so on. For example, to set one channel to +27 dBm desired output, the user may choose to set the RX Threshold to -90 dBm (or -93 dBm minimum).

F.2.3.1  Maximum Desired Output Level per filter(dBm):    Allows the configuration of the output level such  as  the maximum gain per sub-band will be less than or equal to 120dB.   The  specified  value  cannot  be  modified  in  case  the  maximum  gain would be greater or equal than 120dB.
      CANAM TECHNOLOGY, INC.

Signals coming in at that threshold level will be amplified a maximum of 120 dB.   Therefore: o Actual Maximum Desired Output(Set-point) <= Min Rx Threshold + 120dB.  THUS: The User entered Set-point may be automatically reduced to meet the maximum 120dB Gain. For example, this will happen if the User reduces an Rx Threshold setting.  o The Desired Output (Set-point) values are limited by this constraint.  o This equation is driven by the lowest Rx Threshold value in the filters bank, i.e. if at least one filter is set lower than the rest, that value drives the output Set-Point for the entire bank.  F.2.3.2  Input Attenuation Control AutoSet Input Attenuator Response Select the response speed for the Fixed Input Attenuator shown in Main Status page. Fixed Input Attenuation The fixed input attenuation can be modified if the “AutoSet Input Attenuator Response” is OFF. In other modes (FAST, MED and SLOW) this text field will be disabled and the fixed input attenuation can change automatically.

The test carrier may be ON (transmitting) when the pilot test carrier setting is enabled and the first filter in each bank has checked Tx Enable. F.2.3.4  MCPA Control: For the “Output MCPA Mute” and “Reset Reflected Power Alarm Reset” commands, the user can set the preferred control method by choosing Software or Hardware in the “Control by” field. a. If  the  user  chooses  hardware  control,  the  controller  will  respond  to  the opto-isolated  inputs  located  in  the  ECM  I/O  DB25  Connector  and  the software commands for these two parameters will have no effect. The Reset Reflected Power Alarm command mapped to ECM I/O DB25 Connector can be controlled through pins 3 and 4 for both Service Side (DL Tx)  and Donor Base (UL Tx) outputs. The Power Amplifier Mute command mapped to ECM I/O DB25 Connector can be controlled through pins 1 and 2 for both Service Side (DL Tx) and Donor Base (UL Tx) outputs. When “Control by Hardware” is selected the UL and DL MCPAs are automatically un-muted unless the corresponding opto-isolated input is energized.  b. On  the  other  hand,  if  the  user  chooses  software  control,  the  controller will respond to these software commands instead of to the opto-isolated inputs. Output MCPA Mute Mute/un-mute MCPA Reset Reflected Power Alarm Clear the Reflected Power Alarm Latch.
