Each PWRLink II transmitter module employs a microprocessor, which makes
it easy for you to communicate with and control the transmitter. This chapter
describes three options for such communication and control. The options are:
•
HLP 4200WD push buttons and display
The HLP 4200WD interface provides the most comprehensive means
of monitoring and controlling PWRLink II transmitter performance.
The Autosetup and Reset to Factory Settings commands are available only
through this interface. For initial setup of the transmitter, Harmonic
recommends using the HLP 4200WD display, if available.
•
NETWatch Site Controller Element Management System
Once installed and configured, NETWatch Site Controller provides a
straightforward way to monitor and control a network of multiple
PWRLink II transmitters, either locally or remotely.
•
PWRLink II transmitter front panel RF adjustment
The RF adjustment potentiometer on the front panel of each PWRLink II
transmitter module (shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 as RF Pad
Adjustment) can be used to set the internal RF pad level. Use this interface
only if the first two interface options are not available.

HLP 4200WD Display
The PWRLink II transmitter can be configured and monitored conveniently
via the push buttons and LCD display of the HLP 4200WD equipment
platform.
Figure 3-1 on page 3-2 provides a flowchart of the commands and messages in
the Main menu, which is at the top of the HLP 4200 WD platform interface
hierarchy. In this figure, push-button commands are framed in ovals, and
resultant display messages are framed in rectangular boxes.
