Chapter 3
User Interface Options
This chapter describes:
■
HLP 4200 or 4800 display
■
NETWatch Site Controller
■
Front panel LED indicators
Each SUPRALink 7110-Exx Series module employs a microprocessor, which makes it easy for
you to communicate with and control the transmitter. This chapter describes three options for
such communication and control. The options are:
■
HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 push buttons and display
The HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 interface provides the most comprehensive means of
monitoring and controlling SPL 7110-Exx performance. The Autosetup and Reset to
Factory Settings commands are available only through this interface. For initial setup of
the transmitter, Harmonic recommends using the HLP 4200 or HLP 4800 display, if
available.
■
NETWatch Site Controller Element Management System
Once installed and configured, NETWatch Site Controller provides a straightforward way
to monitor and control a network of multiple SPL 7110-Exxs, either locally or remotely.

HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 Display
The SPL 7110-Exx can be configured and monitored conveniently via the push buttons and
LCD display of the HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 equipment platform.
Figure 3-1 provides a flowchart of the commands and messages in the Main menu, which is
at the top of the HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 platform interface hierarchy. In this figure, push-
button commands are framed in ovals, and resultant display messages are framed in
rectangular boxes.
Use the Main menu to scan through platform positions and select a specific transmitter
module to monitor and control. Instructions for navigating the Main menu are provided in
Section

After you navigate the HLP 4200 and HLP 4800’s Main menu and select a specific SPL 7110-
Exx module, the Transmitter menu appears. The Transmitter menu is organized into four sub-
menus:
■
