2.3  INTERFACE IDENTIFICATION 

This section describes all external interfaces used to operate the amplifier via the control software.  A 

Local/Remote switch on the front panel can allow control from the Local Controls or Remote Communications 

Ports.  

2.3.1 

Local Controls 

The control panel located on the front of the amplifier allows for local control and status monitoring using the 

controls listed below. 

2.3.1.1 

Keylock Switch 

The Keylock Switch is provided for protection from unauthorized use or unexpected remote control of the 

amplifier.  The amplifier can only be turned on locally when the Keylock Switch is in the LOCAL position.  

Likewise, the unit can only be turned on or controlled remotely when the Keylock Switch is in the REMOTE 

position.  Placing the Keylock Switch in the INHIBIT position places the amplifier into an RF off state and 

prohibits any control of the amplifier.  All remote queries are processed and responded to in any of the three 

Keylock switch positions.
