INTRODUCTION
The On The Air Light (OTAL) system allows Carrier Operated Relay (COR) signals from remote receivers to
drive On The Air Lamps at consoles. It provides a jumper-selectable option to add Push To Talk (PTT)
qualifier(s) to the COR signals so that the console light displays only when the console is keyed and a carrier is
received at the receiver.
The OTAL system uses standard modules from the MCN (Monitoring and Control Network) to transport the
remote signals. It also uses an OTAL Driver Assembly. This manual covers the OTAL Driver Assembly and
overall OTAL system overview.
The OTAL Driver Assembly is available in two different versions according to the following table:
Part Number Description
S1-61030
S1-61121
Figure 1 shows a typical OTAL system. It includes the optional Remote PTT circuitry. The Remote PTT and
Remote COR signals connect to remote CIB modules. The data from the remote CIB modules is sent via EXB
Network Extenders to the IIB modules in the OTAL Driver Assembly.

Figure 1 - Typical OTAL System
Remote requirements to transport the COR and PTT signals vary by system. EXB modules are shown that
utilize 2W/4W leased lines. Other EXB modules are available that use copper or fiber Ethernet, or RS232
channels.

Note that the external CIB and EXB modules are not part of the OTAL Driver Assembly, and must be
purchased separately.
The OTAL Driver Assembly has the following features:
• Accepts (8) remote COR inputs via MCN network
• Accepts (8) local PTT inputs
• Accepts (8) remote PTT inputs via MCN network
(optional – S1-61030 only)
• Powered by 100-140 VAC input
• Optional 12 VDC input
• Generates (8) On The Air Light (OTAL) Outputs
• Jumper selectable OTAL Logic:
- COR only OTAL
- COR + PTT OTAL
• Keyup Failure Alarm (when PTT is used)
• Link Status (for both IIB modules)
• Power supply status (for both power inputs)
• OTAL and alarm status outputs (via MCN Network) for display on PCs
• Front panel LED display of
-Local & Remote PTT
-COR signals
-OTAL Signals
-Alarm Signals
