INTRODUCTION

1.3 CSAT Interface:
The RAP-100 is designed to interface to Comtech EFData’s CSAT via an RS-485
interface. The pin-out for the connection between the RAP-100 and the CSAT is shown
in the table below:
Signal Name RAP-100 pin CSAT pin
RS-485 Rx+ 8 A
RS-485 Rx- 9 B
RS-485 Tx+ 6 C
RS-485 Tx- 7 D
Signal Ground 1 U
Rev. 1 1–1
Introduction RAP-100 Remote Access Panel
1.4 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?’. The RAP-100 will now attempt to communicate to
the CSAT via the global address ‘0’ at the 5 possible baud rates. Once communications
have been established the RAP-100 will direct the CSAT to address 0001 and 9600 baud.
If this does not resolve the problem first verify that the interface cable is correct then
contact Comtech EFData customer service.

REDUNDANT CSAT CONTROL
2
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.

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.
If the OFFLINE unit is also failed, the Redundancy Controller Box will not change
the switch position.
The second point is the operator can
force
a change in the switch position via either a
serial command to the Redundancy Controller Box or by shorting the appropriate pins on
the interface connector. Again this assumes that both unit are non-failed.
The third point is that if the operator commands the Redundancy Controller Box to
MANUAL mode, subsequent ‘Switch Position’ commands will always cause the transfer
switches to change position independent of the status of the CSATs (failed or non-failed).
The fourth point is that when the Redundancy Controller Box is in MANUAL mode it
not
does
automatically switch the position of the Tx and Rx transfer switches when the
ONLINE unit fails.
The final important point to be made is that the RAP-100 monitors and controls the
redundant system using only serial commands sent via the 4-wire RS-485 interface.

RAP-100 Remote Access Panel Redundant CSAT Control
2.1 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. If the problem persists contact
Comtech EFData Customer Support.
The second display window that you will encounter is the ‘SYSTEM TYPE’ menu
selection. The choices are ‘STAND-ALONE’ and ‘1:1’. Use the Right or Left Arrow
keys to select ‘1:1’ then press the Enter key. This will take you to the
‘MONITOR/CONTROL’ menu selection. There are three choices here; ‘CSAT#1’,
‘CSAT#2’ and ‘RED BOX’. Selecting either ‘CSAT#1’ or ‘CSAT#2’ will allow you to
configure and monitor each of the individual CSATs. Selecting ‘RED BOX’ will allow
you to monitor and control the Redundancy Controller Box and the transfer switches.
This is the selection that we will discuss in this paper.
Use the Right or Left Arrow keys to select ‘RED BOX’ then press the Enter Key. This
will take you to the ‘REDUNDNANCY BOX’ menu selection. There are four (4) subwindows in this menu branch; ‘ONLINE’, ‘MODE’, ‘SWITCHES’, and ‘VOLTAGES’.
The paragraphs below explain each of these sub-windows in detail.
2.1.1 VOLTAGES Selection
This selection allows you to view the voltage of both the 5V and 12V regulators in the
Redundancy Controller Box. This window is provided primarily to assist in trouble
shooting problems with a redundant system. The voltages displayed should be within +/10% of their respective nominal values.
2.1.2 SWITCHES Selection:
This selection allows you to view the status of both the ‘Tx’ and the ‘Rx’ transfer
switches. An ‘OK’ or ‘FT’ indication is provided for each switch. ‘OK’ indicates that
the respective switch is in the position last commanded via the Redundancy Controller
Box. ‘FT’ indicates that the respective switch is
the Redundancy Controller Box. If a ‘FT’ indication is displayed you should first verify
that the interface cable between the transfer switch and the Redundancy Controller Box is
properly connected. Second you should verify that the voltages in the Redundancy
Controller Box using the VOLTAGES menu item. Thirdly, you should command the
Redundancy Controller Box to MANUAL mode (as described below) and toggle the
switch position twice. If these steps do not fix the problem, contact Comtech EFData
Customer Support.

Redundant CSAT Control RAP-100 Remote Access Panel
2.1.3 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)
2.1.4 ONLINE Selection:
This selection allows you to view and/or change the position of the Tx and Rx transfer
switches thus controlling the ONLINE/OFFLINE status of the two CSATs. If the cursor
is on ‘CSAT#1’ then CSAT#1 is ONLINE and CSAT#2 is OFFLINE. IF the cursor is on
‘CSAT#2’ then CSAT#1 is OFFLINE and CSAT#2 is ONLINE. To change the position
of the transfer switches use the Right or Left Arrow keys to select the other CSAT
(OFFLINE CSAT) and then press the Enter Key. Within 4 or 5 seconds both the Tx and
Rx transfer switches should change positions. As explained previously, if the operating
mode is AUTO and the OFFLINE unit is failed no change will occur. By placing the
Redundancy Controller Box into MANUAL mode you can force the transfer switches to
change position independent of the state of the two CSATs.
