Turns the mute mode ON or OFF. When mute mode is OFF (default), the unit will mute
upon changing RF frequency. When mute mode is ON, the unit will remain whatever its
mute state upon changing RF frequency.

Dual IF Rack Mount Converters
Comtech EF Data offers converters with the ability to switch the output IF frequency (Downconverters)
and/or the input IF frequency (Upconverters) from 70 MHz to 140 MHz or vice versa. The actual IF
bandwidth is maintained as the standard ± 18 MHz (± 20 MHz) of the 70 MHz configurations.
The software modification required for the implementation of the IF frequency switching are:
1. A front panel command to allow the output IF to switch from 70MHz to 140.
a. The new selection is located in the “Configuration” menu tree. The “normal”
FREQ/ATT/MUT menu is split into two. First menu screen now has “RF FRE= XXXXX
MHz on top line, with “IF FRE= XXX MHz” and “Rx= XXX” on second line. A second
menu screen contains the attenuator setting.
b. Mute behavior after changing the IF frequency is the same as the normal mute behavior
after changing the RF frequency.
2. A new remote command is implemented to accomplish the identical operation as in (1).
a. Command structure similar to the RF frequency selection.
The default is 70 MHz
Command Details
Set IF Frequency: <DEV/IFF_xxx'cr' (where xxx is either 140 or 70 without requiring
leading zero.
Confirmation: >DEV/IFF_ xxx'cr''lf'] (where xxx is either 140 or 70 without requiring
leading zero.
Retrieve Frequency: <DEV/IFF_'cr'
Confirmation: >DEV/IFF_ xxx'cr''lf'] (where xxx is either 140 or 70 without requiring
leading zero.
Mute behavior after changing the IF frequency would be the same as the mute behavior after
changing the RF frequency.
Redundant operation
The customer can not “mix” dual IF converters with standard converters in a redundant system

Introduction Revision 1
1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The DT-4500 Series Down Converters are designed for use in communication systems,
or in satellite downlink data systems, for the transmission of SCPC, DAMA and TDMA
communication signals. The Down Converters can also be used in communications
system applications with full transponder HDTV and analog TV.
The converter is designed to be hard mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack or
cabinet, or to be rack mounted using slide mechanisms provided with the converter to
allow it to be serviced without its removal from the rack. An internally mounted exhaust
fan for cooling is mounted on the rear of the chassis. An AC power connector, with an
on/off switch, is also located on the rear on the chassis. A six-foot AC power cord is
supplied with the converter.
All operator controls, indicators and displays for local and remote operation are located
on the front panel of the converter. Connectors for the external interface connections are
located on the rear of the converter chassis.
