Automatic reference configuration .................... External 5 or 10 MHz at +4 ±3 dBm. If external reference is
above +1 dBm, the internal reference oscillator will lock to the
external reference input. Reference oscillator acts as an analog
phase lock with a 0.1 Hz nominal loop bandwidth. Typical loop
suppression of the external reference is as follows: 28 dB at 1 Hz
offset; 65 dB at 10 Hz offset; 100 dB at 100 Hz offset
Upconverter mute.............................................. 60 dB minimum on summary alarm or mute command
Remote interface............................................... 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface providing Web-browser based
configuration, SNMP 1.0 configuration, alarm reporting via
SNMP trap, telnet access, password protection and selectable
RS485/RS422. Refer to MITEQ’s Technical Note 25T060 for details.
INDICATOR AND ALARMS
LO out-of-lock.................................................... Red LED (front panel)
Power ON indicator........................................... Green LED (front panel)
Summary alarm................................................. Contact closure staus for DC voltage and local oscillator
