2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking the Unit
Carefully remove the equipment from its packing material and set it on a solid surface, such as a table or
desk. If it appears damaged in any way, notify the carrier, and keep all packing materials for inspection by the
carrier’s agent.
2.2 Operating Environment
The MA4001B chassis includes an active cooling fan tray which forces cooling air from the bottom through to
the top of the chassis. (See options (p 8) for selection of front air intake – rear air intake is factory default). For
adequate ventilation, a space of 1U (1.75”) should be left in the rack, directly above the MA4001B chassis for
warm air exhaust. It is designed to operate at temperatures ranging from 10 to 40oC (50 to 104oF). As with all
electrical equipment, operation at excessive temperature accelerates the deterioration of components. For this
reason, measures should be taken to prevent the build up of excessive heat in the rack.
2.2.2 Antenna Requirements
The MA4070B is used with a user-supplied antenna. Please consult table 2.2A for further information. Mount
the antenna according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

A self-adhesive RF exposure label is supplied with each MA4070B unit for the user to affix to their antenna.
To operate the MA4070B in compliance with FCC regulations, you must apply the included label on to the
antenna. Peel off the protective backing from the label and affix it to the front of the antenna such that the
label is readable from a distance of 3 feet.
☛ Caution: To comply with FCC RF exposure regulations in section 1.1307, a minimum
seperation distance of 1.5 meters is required between this antenna and all persons.
2.3 Power Requirements
The equipment has an international auto-ranging internal power supply which allows it to be powered from any
100 to 240 VAC; 50 to 60 Hz source.
Check the total current consumption of all equipment on the same line before applying power to the MA4000B
system. Avoid sharing an AC source that feeds heavy motors or other equipment, which require large current
drains.
2.4 Rack Mounting
The MA4000 system is designed for standard rack mounting in a 19” equipment rack. It requires 4U (7.00”) of
vertical rack space. It should be installed in a rack allowing access to the back of the unit. The upconverter
should be isolated from strong RF radiation emanating from local equipment in the rack. Power line transients
that may cause damage to the unit should be avoided.

3.2 Front Panel Operating Modes
3.2.1 MA4061 Upconverter Modes
FREQUENCY
When this mode is selected, the display will read: Frq XXXX.XXXX MHz
The displayed frequency is the current configured Output Frequency. To adjust the output frequency, use the
UP/DOWN arrow buttons. Single stepping will allow 62.5 kHz adjustment, while holding the buttons depressed
will change the frequency more quickly.
☛ The displayed frequency represents the center of the band.
☛
During frequency change, the output is muted and the RF ENABLED indicator is turned off
for 5 seconds to avoid undesirable interference.
AUTO IF
When this mode is selected, the display will read: IF AGC Enabled
or
IF AGC Disabled
Pressing the Up or Down buttons will toggle the display between Enabled and Disabled. When enabled, the
MA4061 will automatically optimize the IF level and ensure it is within a pre-set threshold range (default ±0.5
dB). When disabled, the IF level can be manually adjusted as described in the next section.
☛
The Auto IF mode should only be used for continuous IF inputs (non-bursty).
☛
If the IF level is not within ±4.0 dB of the optimum level during Auto IF mode, the output
will be muted to avoid undesirable interference, and the Alarm LED will be on.
☛ At the time of shipping, the AUTO IF is enabled.
IF LEVEL ADJUST
When this mode is selected, the display will read: IFPwr ±
±±
±XX.X dB
The display indicates the approximate IF power level measured at the internal IF power detector. To adjust the
IF level, use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons. To configure the MA4061 Upconverter for optimum performance,
the IF level should be adjusted to read approximately 0.0 dB (-0.5 to +0.5). An IF level less than 0 dB will
degrade noise performance and a level above 0 dB will promote intermodulation products.
☛ The IF level can only be adjusted if the Auto IF mode is disabled.
RF OUTPUT LEVEL ADJUST
When this mode is selected, the display will read: RFPwr ±

7.0 DETAILED REMOTE CONTROL
7.1 Operation
The MA4001B chassis may be controlled via the RS232/RS485 Remote Interface connector. (See Section
4.1, Power/Control Module Rear Panel Connections (pp 19, 20) for the connector pin-out).
The input data rate can be 9600, 14400, or 28800 baud. The MA4000 System Controller will automatically
determine which data rate is in use and adjust accordingly. There are no user settings relating to baud rate
selection.
7.2 Message Format
All messages to the MA4000 system controller consist of a sequence of ASCII characters. Messages must
meet the following guidelines in order to be correctly interpreted by the controller.
• There can be no more than 75 ms between consecutive message bytes.
• After receiving the entire message, the MA4000 System Controller will require approximately 200 ms to process and
respond to the message.
• Only one message can be processed at a time, consequently the user must wait for a reply before sending a new
message.
• Commands sent to an invalid chassis address will be discarded without a response.
7.3 Command Structure
The command structure consists of a sequence of ASCII characters terminated by a carriage return. All ASCII
characters are case-insensitive unless otherwise indicated. Commands are to be in one of the following two
general formats:
<start>ADD<sp>MOD<sp>CC<sp>CRC<cr>
or
<start>ADD<sp>MOD<sp>CC<sp>PARM<sp>CRC<cr>
<start> ASCII Asterisk character
<sp> ASCII Space character
<cr> ASCII Carriage Return character
ADD = Address (3 ASCII characters)
Addresses are 3 digit numbers. Three digits (including leading zeros) are required to correctly define an
address.
MOD = Module (1 ASCII character)
A = Module A (Leftmost module)
B = Module B
.
.
J = Module J (Next to Power Control Module)
CC = Command Code (2 or 3 ASCII characters)

CRC = CRC-16 checksum (3 characters)
The checksum is preferred, but not required. If the checksum is used, the first character is an ASCII “V” followed by
the low and high bytes respectively of the computed CRC 16 checksum (the checksum characters are not
necessarily ASCII). The checksum is to be computed on all characters after the initial <start> character up to, and
including, the first “V” character in the CRC section. If the checksum is not used, the 3 characters should be ASCII
“NNN” (they must be uppercase).
PARM is one or more characters, and is command specific.

There will be one response returned for all commands.
<start> ASCII Asterisk character
<sp> ASCII Space character
<cr> ASCII Carriage Return character
ADD = Address (3 characters)
The address of the unit that is responding to the command.
R = ASCII “R” character (1 character)
Indicates that this is a response to a previous message.
RC = Response Code (3 characters)
OK = Command Accepted
MOD = Command Denied because the addressed module is invalid
ERR = Command Denied because of Syntax Error
CRC = Command Denied because of CRC-16 error
CRC = CRC-16 checksum (3 characters)
The response checksum is always valid. The first character will be an ASCII “V” followed by the low and
high bytes respectively of the computed CRC 16 checksum (the checksum characters are not necessarily
ASCII). The checksum will be computed on all characters after the initial <start> character up to, and
including, the first “V” character in the CRC section.
PARM is one or more characters, and is command specific.

7.6 CRC Calculation
The CRC calculations are performed using a table driven approach. The polynomial used is
X^16+X^15+X^2+1.
Only the basic algorithm and lookup table will be described here. Sample code is available on request. For
further information, this approach is described in detail in the following paper:
Perez, Aram; Byte-wise CRC Calculations, IEEE Micro, June 1983, pp. 40 - 50
The algorithm for the CRC calculation is as follows:
Exclusive-OR the input byte with the low-order byte of the CRC register to get X.
Shift the CRC register 8 bits to the right.
Exclusive-OR the CRC register with the contents of the table, using X as an index.
Repeat steps 1 - 3 for all message bytes.
☛ Note: The CRC register is 16 bits long, and should be cleared to 0 before beginning the
calculations.
For the transmit message: After all the message bytes have been processed, the CRC is tagged on to the
end of the message with the least significant byte first.
For the received message: After all the received message bytes have been processed, the resulting CRC
should be zero. If it is not zero, at least one bit error has occurred. If it is zero, it is assumed that no errors
have occurred.
