chive and restore presets, automation lists, and system setups (containing I/O
levels, digital word lengths, GPI functional assignments, etc.).
•
SNMP support allows you to control and monitor the 5700i over your network
by using the SNMP protocol and compatible software.
•
The 5700i includes a Telnet client that allows presets to be recalled via batch
files using the free PuTTY and Plink applications. The commands are simple
ASCII strings , facilitating interface to automation systems that can emit such
strings through an Ethernet or RS232 serial connection.
•
OPTIMOD-FM contains a versatile real-time clock , which allows automation of
various events (including recalling presets) at pre-programmed times. The clock
can be set automatically from an Internet timeserver.
•
A Bypass Test Mode can be invoked locally, by remote control (from either the
5700i’s GPI port or the 5700i PC Remote application), or by automation to permit
broadcast system
test and alignment or “proof of performance” tests.
•
OPTIMOD-FM contains a built-in line-up tone generator , facilitating quick and
accurate level setting in any system.
•
OPTIMOD-FM's software can be upgraded by running Orban-supplied down-
loadable upgrade software on a PC. The upgrade can occur remotely through
the 5700i’s Ethernet port or serial port (connected to an external modem), or lo-
cally (by connecting a Windows® computer to the 5700i’s serial port through the
supplied null modem cable).
•
Silence alarm and digital audio fault tally outputs are available.
Upgradeable to 8600S
•
Via a purchased upgrade kit, the 5700i can be upgraded to full 8600S func-
tionality via a network connection without removing the unit from the rack.
This upgrade adds Orban’s exclusive MX limiter technology, which uses a built-in
psychoacoustic model and other advanced signal processing techniques to add
about 2.5 dB more high frequency power handling capability, lower distortion,
and greater transient impact.
Presets in OPTIMOD-FM
