Status Monitor/Local Control Module Description 
Local Control Module Description 
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.
