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

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.

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.

ODU OPERATION

3.1 Front Panel ODU Operation

The user can fully control and monitor the operation of Comtech EFData’s ODU from the front panel, using the keypad and display of either a CDM550 or CDM550T modem. Nested menus display all available options and prompt the user for required actions.
The display has two lines each of 24 characters. On most menu screens, a flashing

SELECT: CONFIG TEST INFO MONIT STORE/LD UTIL ODU
The user is presented with the following choices:
CONFIG (Configuration) This menu branch permits the user to fully configure the unit.
TEST This menu branch permits the user invoke one of several test modes (loopbacks, for example).
INFO (Information) This menu branch permits the user to view information on the unit, without
having to go into configuration screens.
MONIT (Monitor) This menu branch permits the user to monitor the alarm status of the unit, to view
the log of stored events, and to display the Receive Parameters screen.
STORE/LD (Store/Load) This menu branch permits the user to store and to retrieve up to 10 different
modem configurations.
UTIL (Utility) This menu branch permits the user to perform miscellaneous functions, such as
setting the Real-time clock, adjusting the display brightness, etc.
ODU (Outdoor Unit) This permits the user to monitor and control a Comtech EFData RF
Transceiver, if connected.
The first six items are covered in the existing modem manuals. The ODU item is now described in detail.
