Theory of Operation CST-5000 C-Band Satellite Terminal
5–4 Rev. 9
5.1.2.1 Remote Interface Specification
Refer to Appendix B for information on remote control operation.
5.1.3 Terminal Default Conditions
On initial power-up, the unit will default to the following parameters:
Parameter Default
Baud Rate 9600
Parity Even
Device Address 1
U/C Gain Minimum
D/C Gain Minimum
RF Output OFF
U/C Frequency 6135.00 MHz
D/C Frequency 3925.00 MHz
5.1.4 Theory of Operation
Refer to Figure 5-3 for a functional block diagram of the M&C.
The M&C board performs the following operations:
Receives the desired frequency from either the remote EIA-232/485 or local
keypad, and after converting it to a synthesizer setting, stores it to the applicable
synthesizer output latch.
Reads the thermistors located in the up converter, down converter, and HPA, and
converts the signals into temperatures for display.
Reads the characterization EEPROMs in the up converter, down converter, and
HPA, and calculates an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) voltage based on
frequency and temperature to linearize the respective module.
Turns the fan on or off, depending on the temperature.
Receives fault inputs from all modules, and presents them to the remote
EIA-232/485 and the optional local keypad display.
Performs an initial current sense on the LNA, and stores the reading in the
EEPROM. Subsequent current sense readings are taken and compared to the
initial reading to determine a fault.
