NX5 OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER
PAGE 3.2.164 VERSION 0.1 2015-08-01
Remote Inputs - Remote AUI
Using the
Remote Inputs
tab (see Figure 3.2.150 on page 3.2.163 ), 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 enabled (i.e., local plus remote). That setting can only be made by a local user using the front
panel pushbutton.
Nautel sets digital input defaults prior to shipping. See the
NX5 Pre-installation Manual
for details. If
necessary, re-configure the digital inputs as follows:
