MODEL 4116-T24 Translator, UHF to UHF, Weather Resistant*

1.0 General

1.1 Equipment Description

The 4116-T24 Translator converts a 20 MHz bandwidth signal from the UHF input band (0.2 to 0.4 GHz) to a

20 MHz bandwidth signal on the UHF output band (0.2 to 0.4 GHz), in 0.1 MHz steps. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC Power, and PLL Alarm. The UHF to UHF gain is +20 dB, maximum. Connectors are

Type N female for the UHF out, UHF in and UHF in Monitor and SMA female for the external 10 MHz reference input. Gain, band select, mute, and internal 10 MHz frequency are controlled by the M&C (Ethernet and/or Status/Control). In AUTO, the 10 MHz reference stays in external if the external level is in the +2 to +8 dBm range. The 4116 is powered by a 100-240 ± 10% VAC power supply, and mounted in a 8”W X 6”H X

16”D Weather Resistant* enclosure.

NOTE: *Weather Resistant enclosures are designed to be water resistant for installation in an outdoor enclosure/antenna hut OR mounted outdoors on an antenna assembly at their specified temperature ranges. They are designed to be located “out in the elements”

(water, sleet, snow, etc.) but they are not designed to be “submerged under” water. If an extended temperature range is required, there is an Extended Temperature option (Option W21; -30˚C to +60˚C) available at an additional cost. Contact Cross for quote.

2.0 Installation

The 4116-T24 Translator consists of a 8” Wide X 6“ High X 16” Deep Weather Resistant* enclosure .

A switching, ± 12, +24, +5 VDC power supply provides power for the internal assemblies. The 4116-T24 can be secured to a mounting plate using the 4 holes on the bottom of the front and rear panel.

See Figure 2.2. for mounting dimensions.

2.0.1 Connection to AC Input Power

The 4116-T24 utilizes a pre-assembled AC power input cable as described below.

2.1 ETHERNET Interface Installation and Operation

The 4116-T24 Translator is equipped with a 10/100 Base-T compatible Ethernet interface for control and monitoring of its operating parameters. An HTML script interface allows the user to monitor and control the converter using a standard web browser. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is also supported.

Contact Cross Technologies for the SNMP MIB file.

2.1.1 Methods of Connection

Directly Connected to a PC:

For control from a local PC, attach the 4116-T24’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet network connector on the

PC using a crossover RJ-45 cable.

LAN Connection

For LAN connections, attach the 4116-T24 Ethernet port to the LAN using a normal RJ-45 cable.

Use any PC on the LAN to connect to the 4116-T24.

2.1.2 Ethernet Configuration

Each 4116-T24 must be configured with an appropriate IP address, Netmask, and Gateway assigned by your network manager. The 4116-T24 is set at the factory with a static address that is written on a tag attached to the unit. The device server in the 4116-T24 has a built in HTTP based configuration manager that is used to configure network settings. To access the configuration manager open a web browser and enter the IP address of the 4116-T24 in the browser's address field. The window shown in Figure 2-A will appear. As delivered, there is no password set. Choose your user name and password here or leave those fields blank and click OK to proceed to the configuration manager webpage.

4116-T24 Manual, Rev. G

Page 7 03/27/13

Figure 2-B Configuration Manager Screen

In the left frame of the configuration manager click on Network to display the Network Settings screen.

Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address with delimiter dots (example: 192.168.192.47).

Click apply settings in the left frame to apply the new settings in the network device.

4116-T24 Manual, Rev. G Page 8 03/27/13

2.1.3 Webpage M & C

Enter the following address in a web browser to access the M & C webpage: http://<ip address of 41xx>/serial/0/setup.htm where <ip address> is the IP address of the unit.

Figure 2-C: Model 4116-T24 Webpage

2.1.4 SNMP Configuration

Setting of SNMP parameters such as Community Write and Community Read strings requires a Telnet ® connection to port 9999. The following instructions explain how to establish such a Telnet ® connection using

Windows XP's Hyper Terminal utility .

Start the Hyper Terminal application and select “New Connection” from the “File” drop down menu.

The next screen is a “Connect To” dialog box. Select TCP/IP (Winsock) from the “Connect” drop down menu.

Enter the IP address of the 4116-T24 in the “Host address:” field and 9999 in the “Port number” field.

Figure 2-E shows an example of the Hyper Terminal settings required to access the SNMP configuration menu.

4116-T24 Manual, Rev. G Page 9 03/27/13

Figure 2-E: Telnet ® Settings in Hyper Terminal

Once the Telnet ® connection is established you will be prompted to “Press Enter for Setup Mode”. Press enter and a menu of device server configuration options will appear (see Figure 2-F). Select menu item 3, “SNMP configuration.” You will be prompted to enter SNMP community read and write strings. After setting your desired community strings you will be prompted to “Enter IP addresses for SNMP traps.” You must enter at least one and up to four IP addresses of SNMP managers that will access the unit. This is required even though

SNMP traps are not implemented. The unit will not process SNMP SET and GET requests from an SNMP manager unless the IP address associated with that manager is entered in the device server.

2.3 Physical Interface

All 4115 and 4116 units provide a RS232/RS422/RS485 interface port and a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port.

Both ports are available when the unit is installed and powered up. Commands may be sent to either port at any time and they will be processed in the order that they are received. The RS232/RS422/RS485 signals connect via an 18 pin, MS3112E14-18S connector as shown in Figure 2.2. The Ethernet signals connect via a standard RJ45 connector, RJF6G.

NOTE: Planning Ethernet Access

It is recommended that IP knowledgeable customer personnel be consulted as a resource in the

installation and use of the Ethernet access features of the Cross Technologies product.

2.4 Installation/Operation

Installing and Operating the 4116-T24 Translator

1. Connect a -30 dBm to -10 dBm signal to L-BAND INPUT, (Figure 2.2).

2. Connect the RF OUTPUT, to the external equipment.

3. Using the pre-assembled AC power input cable (furnished), connect 100-240 ±10% VAC,

47 - 63 Hz to AC IN connector on the front panel.

4. If a custom length power cable must be made, refer to description below for connections*.

5. Be sure DS1 (green, DC Power) is on and DS2 (red, Alarm) is off (Figure 2.2).

6. Set the gain insuring that the output level is always in the range of +20 to -40 dB.

7. Select either INT (for internal 10 MHz ref), AUTO (for internal 10 MHz ref UNLESS a external

10 MHz, +2 to +8 dBm signal is connected to J2), or EXT (for external 10 MHz, +2 to +8 dBm ref that is inserted at J2) via Ethernet or serial command.

8. Check that a 10 MHz, signal is present at the 10 MHz REF OUTPUT at the same level as the input,

±0.5 dB (J4 - Figure 2.2).

9. AC Fuse - The fuse is a 1.25” x .25” - 1.5 amp (slow blow) and is inserted in the fuse F1 position.

NOTE: If a fuse continues to open, the power supply is most likely defective.

CAUTION: When checking or replacing the fuse, do not over tighten the fuse holder cap.

This can displace the cap’s O-ring and the weatherproof seal will be lost.
