Software Version (Status Only)
This status information describes the version of the software running in
the SOLO transmitter product.
FPGA Version (Status Only)
This information is for domo engineering use only.
Chaining
Chaining allows multiple services to be sent via one RF link. A receiver
may be connected to a transmitter to form a chaining or relay link. To
allow this, the chaining interfaces provided on the first receiver must be
connected to the second transmitter. Three modes of operation are
supported - no chaining (default), chaining mode, and relay mode. The
chaining mode allows two services (remote and local) to be combined.
The relay mode allows just the remote service to be transmitted turning
off the local service.
For chaining mode to operate correctly, the second unit in the chain
must operate at twice the transmit data rate from the first. If the first unit
is operating in QPSK rate 2/3 the second unit must operate in 16QAM
rate 2/3. If the first unit is operating in QPSK rate 1/3 the second unit
must operate in QPSK rate 2/3. The units must have different chaining
numbers selected, and the different unit names. For the relay mode to
operate correctly the second unit must have the transmit rate greater or
equal to the first unit.
Chaining is a licensable feature.
Options
Engineering – provides access to further diagnostic and calibration
features. The Diagnostic dialogue box must not be altered. The
Advanced Options dialogue box under the Engineering menu allows
the user to Change RS232 address, which can be useful when
connecting multiple units together via a multi drop RS485 bus for control
purposes. The Serial control dialogue box allows the user to change
timeouts used during the serial communications between the unit and
the controller.
Enable Polling – selecting this option makes the control application
automatically refresh the data presented to the user every few seconds.
Polling Options – selecting this option allows the user to define
parameters to be regularly polled.
Write Decryption Key – opens a dialogue box for entering an ABS or
AES scrambling key, as 32 ASCII hexadecimal characters (0…F)
Write License Code – open a further box for entering license codes for
the activation of licensable features (e.g. AES scrambling) in the
transmitter. Contact domo for support in applying new licenses as
required.
Restore Defaults – restores factory default settings in the transmitter.
