A local control module and a status monitor are available for the Model GS7000 
Node.  A status monitor consists of a local control module with a transponder core 
module installed in the housing.  The same housing is used for both units. 

The units perform the following functions: 

  

Local Control Module - controls redundancy and forward segmentation 

  

Status Monitor - adds status monitoring capability to the local control module 

Note:  An existing local control module can be field upgraded to a status monitor 
through the addition of a transponder core module.  Refer to Model GS7000 
GainMaker Node 1x/2x-3x-4x Local Control Module to Status Monitor Upgrade 
Instructions, part number 4024770, for complete instructions. 

 

The local control module locally monitors the following node voltages and signals: 

ƒ 

Receiver optical input level (all receivers) 

ƒ 

Transmitter optical output level (all transmitters) 

ƒ 

AC power presence (for split AC powering cases, AC power from both sides 
of node housing is monitored) 

ƒ 

DC voltages from both primary and redundant power supplies 

The local control module communicates serially with the RF amplifier module to 
control the optional forward band redundancy switches on the forward 
configuration module.  It is a low-cost module that plugs into the status monitor 
connectors on the optical interface board. 

The local control module is equipped with a craft port to allow local control of the 
optional forward band redundancy switches, the reverse band 6 dB (wink) 
attenuators, and the reverse band on/off switches through a handheld controller.  
All parameters monitored by the local control module can be reviewed using the 
handheld controller.
