Comtech EF Data CLC-10 - Manual (Page 17)

1–1
Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
This User Guide is intended for the persons responsible for the operation and
maintenance of Comtech EF Data’s LPOD Outdoor Amplifier / Block Up Converter
(BUC) systems, and SPOD Outdoor Amplifier systems (the LPOD and SPOD are
referred to collectively as the SSPAs throughout the remainder of this document).
This guide is prepared with the assumption that you are familiar with the
functionality and operability of the products with which this product is designed to
interface, as well as the portable device – whether it is the Two Technologies, Inc.
TechTerm Handheld terminal supplied by CEFD, or any other compatible desktop,
portable, or handheld computing device – used to access the SSPA operational
firmware.
Comtech EF Data strongly recommends that you first become familiar with the
LPOD or SPOD Installation and Operation Manual before proceeding.
Comtech EF Data’s CLC-10 M&C Accessory Kit (CEFD Kit
KT-0020518) is used to access the monitor and control
functionality of the SSPA.
Serial communication between the unit and the CLC-10
is accomplished by connecting the provided RJ-11 to
19-pin adapter cable (CEFD P/N CA-0020526) between
the RJ-11 interface jack on the Two Technologies, Inc.
TechTerm Handheld Terminal (CEFD P/N PP-0020514)
and the SSPA’s 19-pin circular COMM connection
(either the ‘J6 | COM1’ remote communications port
on the standalone unit, or the ‘J1’ receptacle on the
1:1 Redundant Loop Cable Assembly).
Then, applicable for both Standalone and 1:1 Redundancy System applications, the CLC-10
permits you to access the SSPA Serial Remote Interface to monitor SSPA operations and
execute remote commands and queries.
