SATELLITE CONFIGURATION
AD1024 satellite functions reference the following terms:
SITE refers to a single AD1024 CPU in a network and the
resources that are directly connected and accessible to it.
Source Site - a satellite network site which provides video
trunk outputs
Receiving Site - a satellite network site which receives
video trunk inputs
LOCAL refers to features that are accessible within a single
Site by the keyboard attached to that Site’s AD1024 CPU.
REMOTE refers to features that are accessible within one
AD1024 Site by another AD1024 Site in a network.
For the AD1024 satellite system to communicate properly, the
user must define all connections for the system.
• All satellite configuration programming is performed at
each LOCAL Site, with reference to the AD1024 CPU the
user’s keyboard is connected to.
• All setup parameters refer to the configuration as viewed by
the user at the LOCAL Site.
• The LOCAL Site programming has NO affect on the setup
at any other site in a satellite network.
• Each site must be set up separately, with reference to each
site’s “LOCAL” view.
The SATELLITE CONFIGURATION menu defines the
configuration of the LOCAL site in a satellite network. Each
individual site in a satellite network must define its LOCAL
configuration separately, via this menu. There are two menus
for defining the satellite configuration:
DATA COMMUNICATIONS (page 4-34) - defines the
RS-232 communications connections between sites.
• Use this menu at all satellite sites to identify the RS-232
links between that site and other sites in the network.
VIDEO ASSIGNMENTS (page 4-35) - defines the video
trunk line connections into each site.
• Use this menu at a Receiving site only to identify all
remote video inputs to the site.
The RETURN MAIN line of the Satellite Configuration menu
returns to the Main Selection menu, page 4-3.
Note: Tables are provided in the Appendix (page A-13) to
record these interconnecting links between the LOCAL Site
and all REMOTE satellite sites that are connected to it.
Refer to page 1-4, Satellite System Operations, for additional
information on satellite system setup. Refer to the Appendix,
page A-14, for a typical 2-site satellite system configuration.
