Remote Inputs - AUI
Using the
Remote Inputs
tab (see Figure 3.2.149 on page 3.2.173 ), you can configure up to 10 digital
inputs that allow you to remotely control various operational characteristics of the transmitter. Unless
otherwise noted, these inputs are only accepted by the transmitter if the remote/local status is set to
remote. That setting can only be made by a local user using the AUI’s
Local
button. Nautel sets digital
input defaults prior to shipping. See the Pre-installation Manual for details.
Select the desired digital input (1 through 10) from the list. The
Channel
and
Control
settings for the
selected input, as well as the current logic level (1 or 0), are displayed on the right-hand side of the
page. You can define the
Channel
and
Control
settings as follows:
Select Input Channel - AUI
You can configure digital inputs 1 through 10 for one of a variety of control inputs. Press the existing
Channel
bar to display the
Select a Remote
window (see Figure 3.2.150 on page 3.2.175 ). From this
window select one of the following options by pressing
OK
:

Not Assigned
. No effect on transmitter operation, regardless of logic level.

RF On/Off
. Same as pressing the
RF On
(telling the system to provide RF power, if possible) or
the
RF Off
button on the local AUI. There are two inputs configured by default; one for
Falling Edge, Turn On
and one for
Falling Edge, Turn Off
.

Reset
. Causes a system reset. Same as pressing
Reset
button on the local AUI.

Force ARM Reset.
Allows the user to force an ARM reset to the AUI, thus rebooting the AUI
via a hardware parallel remote input (controlled by a third party remote control unit).

Main Exciter
. Selects the main exciter to operate the transmitter. There are two inputs
configured by default; one for
Falling Edge, Set to A
and one for
Falling Edge, Set to B
.

Auto Changeover Enabled
. Sets the exciter changeover function to operate automatically.
There is only one input configured by default; each subsequent activation of the input will
toggle the state (enabled/disabled) e.g.
Falling Edge, Toggle
.

Inc/Dec RF Power
. Activating these inputs will increment/decrement the preset power level
by 1% of the rated power. Holding the selection will increment/decrement the power level by
1% every 1/2 second. There are two
inputs configured by default; one for
Falling Edge,
Increase
and one for
Falling Edge, Decrease. NOTE
: If multiple power increase or decrease
inputs are active, the lower number input takes precedence.

Preset: NAME
. Selects the associated preset (from a list of all pre-defined presets) as active.
If you save a change to a digital input via the AUI, it will also be displayed on the controller UI.
