Remote Inputs - AUI
Using the
Remote Inputs
tab (see Figure 2.140 on page 2-164 ), you can configure up to 10 remote
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.
Nautel sets remote input defaults prior to shipping. See the VS300 Pre-installation Manual for details.
Select the desired remote input (1 through 10) from the list. The
Channel

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

by a fixed amount (1% of rated power).
