Transmitter Setup
This chapter describes how to set up a PWRLink II 4800T series transmitter
for optimum performance. Any of the three user interface options described
in Chapter 3,
, can be used for transmitter setup. The first
half of this chapter describes transmitter features and setup options. The
second half of the chapter details the setup procedure for each of the three
user interface options.
This chapter describes:
•
Factory-optimized settings of the PWRLink II transmitter
•
Fine tuning the transmitter
•
Autosetup, Automatic Gain Control, and Manual Gain Control
•
How to set up via the HLP 4200WD display
•
How to set up via NETWatch Site Controller
•
How to set up via the transmitter’s front panel controls
NOTE:
For initial setup of the transmitter, Harmonic recommends using the
HLP 4200WD platform’s push buttons and display, if available. If
you are using another platform (such as HLP 4200ND) that does not
have a display, NETWatch Site Controller can be used for transmitter
setup. In the event that neither of those interface options is available,
you can adjust the RF level via the front panel of the PWRLink II
transmitter.
Before proceeding with the instructions outlined in this chapter, ensure that
you have installed the transmitter properly into the HLP 4200 platform, as
described in Chapter 2,
