1 Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Equipment Use: The RAP-100 is designed to provide front console monitoring and control of a single Comtech EFData CSAT Outdoor Transceiver. The RAP-100 is packaged in a chassis suitable for mounting in standard 19 inch Telecommunication equipment racks. 1.2 Equipment Power: The equipment is rated for operation over the range 100 – 240 volts AC. It has a maximum power consumption of 15 watts. 1.
PAGE 13
Introduction 1.4 RAP-100 Remote Access Panel Getting Started: After the interface cable between the RAP-100 and CSAT is built and installed, simple apply power for both units. The ‘Comm. Link’ LED on the front of the RAP-100 will be GREEN when the two units are communicating and RED when a problem exists. If the LED is RED go to the ‘LINK’ menu and select ‘ESTABLISH’. Select the when queried ‘RE-ESTABLISH COMM LINK?’.

2 Chapter 2. REDUNDANT CSAT CONTROL The RAP-100 (Remote Access Panel) is designed to provide a simple ‘Indoor’ interface to Comtech EFData’s ‘Outdoor’ CSAT terminals. RAP-100’s with software version 1.03 (or later) installed also support direct communications with 2 CSATs and the Redundancy Controller Box in a redundancy configuration. The figure below provides a functional block diagram of a 1:1 Redundant CSAT system with a RAP-100 used as the system monitor and control device.
PAGE 15
Redundant CSAT Control RAP-100 Remote Access Panel There are a few important points to be made about this system architecture. First, the Redundancy Controller Box is in complete control of the transfer switches (both Tx and Rx) when the system is in AUTO mode. This means that the Redundancy Controller Box is always monitoring the status of both CSATs via their Summary Fault Relays and will change the position of the switches if the ONLINE unit fails.
PAGE 16
RAP-100 Remote Access Panel 2.1 Redundant CSAT Control RAP-100 Menus After connecting the RAP-100 to the Redundancy Controller Box and turning power ON for all of the components in the system the “COMM LINK” LED on the RAP-100 should be GREEN. If this LED is RED, verify that all interface cables between the two CSATs and the Redundancy Controller Box as well as the interface cable between the RAP-100 and the Redundancy Controller Box are properly made.
PAGE 17
Redundant CSAT Control 2.1.3 RAP-100 Remote Access Panel MODE Selection: This selection allows you to view and/or change the operating mode of the Redundancy Controller Box. If the cursor is on ‘AUTO’ the box is in Auto Mode. If the cursor is on ‘MANUAL’ the box is in Manual Mode. To change the operating mode, use the Right or Left Arrow keys to select the new mode then press the Enter key. (Note: you must always press the Enter key after making any change via any of the Arrow keys) 2.1.

ODU OPERATION 3.1 Front Panel ODU Operation The user can fully control and monitor the operation of Comtech EFData’s ODU from the front panel, using the keypad and display of either a CDM550 or CDM550T modem. Nested menus display all available options and prompt the user for required actions. The display has two lines each of 24 characters. On most menu screens, a flashing solid block cursor blinks once per second to indicate the currently selected item, digit, or field.

RAP-100 Remote Access Panel 3.2.4 (ODU,ENABLE) ODU Operation 1:1 MONITOR/CONTROL: CSAT#1 CSAT#2 RED BOX The user is prompted to select CSAT#1, CSAT#2 or the RED BOX as the device to be monitored. The first to selection will allow the user to monitor and/or control the configuration of the two individual ODU’s. The third item, RED BOX, will allow the user to monitor the current state of the ODU Redundancy Controller Box as well as to change the current ONLINE/OFFLINE state of each ODU. 3.2.

ODU Operation 3.2.8 RAP-100 Remote Access Panel (ODU,ENABLE,1:1,RED BOX) SWITCHES WAVEGUIDE SWITCH STATUS: TX=OK RX=OK This menu item provides the status of both the Tx and Rx Waveguide transfer switches. If either switch is reporting an ambiguity from the commanded position the “OK” will change to “FT”. This indicates a switch fault. 3.2.9 (ODU,ENABLE,1:1,RED BOX) VOLTAGES REDUNDANCY BOX VOLTAGES: 5V= X.X 12V=XX.X This menu item provides monitor of the voltages inside the Redundancy Controller Box.
