Monitoring and diagnostics
4.1 General
The EX7100 is equipped with a powerful monitoring and diagnostic system that may be
accessed using the six button keypad and LCD on the front panel. (Refer to Section 3.2
for information on how to use the Front Panel User Interface).
accessed using the six button keypad and LCD on the front panel. (Refer to Section 3.2
for information on how to use the Front Panel User Interface).
The front panel also has four LED's that indicate the operating status of the terminal, as
well as any alarms being generated by the terminal.
well as any alarms being generated by the terminal.
It is possible, via the front panel, to view how the terminal is configured (refer to Section
3), monitor various operating parameters (Refer to Section 4.2), and set up the terminal to
generate and log alarms for those parameters that may potentially cause link failure.

This facility also allows the user to access any remote terminals within the local terminal’s
RF path. (Refer to Section 4.3 Monitoring a Remote Terminal). With the addition of the
optional ELMS (Exicom Link Management System) software, monitoring of multiple
terminals is possible (Refer to Appendix B.1).
