Rx IF input
This connector is a BNC female and can be used as either a 50 or 75 input. The allowable signal level
of the desired carrier at the input of the modem is from -60dBm to -30dBm (P310: -70dBm to -20dBm). A
level of -45dBm is recommended. The maximum composite power level that should be applied to this
port is 30dB above the desired carrier, up to a maximum of 0dBm (P310: Com35dBc to max of -
10dBm).
Alarms and AGC connector
This is a 15 pin male 'D' type connector that provides access to the three form `C' relay contacts that
indicate alarm conditions. Also provided on this port if the Monitor/AGC option is fitted is an uncommitted
analog output, which by default provides an AGC output, but which may be selected via the front panel
to provide other user requested signals (eg Eb/No, Rx IF offset frequency, or other uses implemented as
required). The alarm relays have the following definitions:
Unit Fault
:
A
unit fault
exists, i.e. an equipment failure.
Traffic Prompt:
A Tx or Rx
traffic fault
exists.
Deferred alarm:
One of the following conditions exists:
The receive BER is greater than the user defined threshold.
The receive Eb/No is lower than the user defined threshold.
Buffer slips are more frequent than the user set threshold.
A Backward alarm is being received from either the satellite or terrestrial
ports.
Full pinout details are provided in Appendix B. The alarm relay functions can be changed, See
`Relay Mode` in appendix E.
Async ESC connector
This 15 pin `D` female connector provides a superset of the features found previously on the front panel
circular 8 pin `din` connector. It includes an RS232 serial port for the loading or revised internal software
from a PC or the printing of the units traffic log to a serial printer / PC terminal emulator. If the
Monitor/AGC option is fitted it provides I,Q, and symbol clock outputs to monitor the receive constellation
(in order to view received signal quality on an oscilloscope). When the IDR option
IS NOT
fitted, it
provides an RS232/RS422/RS485 asynchronous port for either the high rate Async ESC facility (for
IBS/SMS or Closed Net Plus ESC services) or the IBS/SMS `low rate INTELSAT oversampled ESC
facility` (which is configured as the Aux data channel on the modem). When the IDR option
IS
fitted,
separate ports for the ESC and Aux channels on the IDR card are activated, and
ESC/Aux access on
this async port is disabled
. Finally, this connector also provides the port for an RS422 compatible
Station Clock (see the Station Clock paragraph on the previous page).
Tx IF output
This connector is a BNC female and can be used as either a 50 or 75 output. The output power level
can be varied from 0dBm to -25dBm on 0.1dB steps from the front panel (P310: -5dBm to -30dBm).
ESC & Aux connector
This connector is fitted as part of the IDR option (Standard on P300-IDR & P300-TCM), it provides
access to:
Four backward alarm form `c` outputs, and the 4 backward alarm inputs, together with a Rx
summary alarm signal for direct connection to the backward alarm inputs. Note that these can
be used both in IDR modes, and (if the IBS and `Custom Features` features are available) a
custom IBS mode, which allows four backward alarms for low rate IBS multidestinational
carriers.
