System Hardware Description

The InterReach Fusion SingleStar system consists of two modular components:

• 19" rack-mountable

Hub

(connects to up to 8 Remote Access Units)

• Converts RF signals to IF on the downlink; IF to RF on the uplink

• Microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)

• Auto-configurable bands

• Simplex interface to RF source

• Periodically polls all downstream RAUs for system status, and automatically

reports any fault or warning conditions

• Supplies DC power to RAUs over CATV cable

•

Remote Access Unit

(RAU)

• Converts IF signals to RF on the downlink; RF to IF on the uplink

• Microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)

• Multi-band protocol independent, frequency specific units

The minimum configuration of a Fusion SingleStar system is one Hub and one RAU
(1-1). The maximum configuration of a system is one Hub and 8 RAUs (1-8). Multi-
ple systems can be combined to provide larger configurations.
