KA BAND OUTDOOR TWT AMPLIFIER
B-2
B.1 Introduction
The Outdoor Unit Remote Panel Software (ODU Remote) provides a basic means of remotely
monitoring and controlling up to ten outdoor power amplifiers from a single PC. It is not a
substitute to a professional M&C program, but a utility program used for amplifier configuration
and troubleshooting.
The software communicates using the host PC’s serial communication port (COM1-COM4) or an
Ethernet LAN interface. Meter readings and status information for each amplifier may be
displayed simultaneously. User specified media files can automatically be played to alert an
operator when an amplifier fault condition occurs.
B.2 Installation
Copy ALL files located on the supplied ODU Remote software CD to a directory on your PC’s
hard drive, or run directly from the CD. If storing files on a computer, be sure to keep all the files
in a common folder and create a shortcut to the desktop if needed.
