1.5 Environmental Use Information A. Rack-Mounting - To mount this equipment in a rack, please refer to the installation instructions located in the user manual furnished by the manufacturer of your equipment rack. B. Mechanical loading - Mounting of equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition does not exist due to uneven weight distribution. C.
2.0 Installation 2.1 Mechanical The 2416-x02 consists of one RF/Controller PCB housed in a 1 RU (1 3/4 inch high) by 16 inch deep chassis. A switching, ±12, +24, +5 VDC power supply provides power for the assemblies. The 2416-x02 can be secured to a rack using the 4 holes on the front panel. Figure 2.1 shows how the 2416-x02 is assembled.

2.4 Operation 2.4.1 Installing and Operating the 2416-x02 Downconverter 1. Connect a -50 dBm to -20 dBm signal to RF IN, J2 (Figure 2.2). 2. Connect the IF OUT, J1, to the external equipment. 3. Connect 100-240 ±10% VAC, 47 - 63 Hz to AC on the back panel. 4. Set the input frequency (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings). 5. Set the gain for +0.0 to 50.0 dB (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings). 6. Be sure DS6 (green, DC Power, PSA, PSB) is on and DS2 (red, Alarm) is off (Figure 2.3). 7.
2.5 Power On Settings Figure 2.5 shows the various Front Panel LCD Displays that you will see during the Power Up sequence and the Settings modes. The first two displays (Power Up, displaying Model Number, Rev. Level and IP Address are only displayed briefly during the Power On sequence. The Normal Display is what you will see while the unit is in normal operating mode. When power is first applied, the LCD display goes through three steps. 1. The model number and options will be displayed. 2.
2.5.2 Frequency Changes At any time during the modification process, if you have made a mistake and do not wish to save the changes you have made, do not press the Menu/Execute switch; simply do nothing for approximately 30 seconds, and the system will return to the normal operating mode or scroll to “R” and push the menu/Execute switch and select “NO” in the “SAVE SETTINGS?” window. To change the FREQUENCY: Operate the Menu/Execute switch until you get to the menu item you want to change. See Figure 2.
2.6 Menu Settings All program changes must start with the operation of the Menu/Execute switch and must also end with the operation of the Menu/Execute switch verified by the “Save Settings?” Menu. If this sequence is not followed, none of the changes will take effect. If programming is initiated and no operator action takes place for approximately 30 seconds (before the final press of the Menu/Execute switch) the display will revert to its previous status and you will need to start over.
3.0 Ethernet Interface Installation and Operation (Option W8, W18 or W28) This manual applies to Cross Technologies products equipped with a 10/100 Base-T compatible Ethernet interface for control and monitoring of its operating parameters. The following sections describe the operation and setup of those interfaces. 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.
Figure 3.1: Configuration Manager Screen (Example above shows Configuration Manger Screen for Model 2416-402) Once logged in, you will be presented with the Configuration Manager web page. 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: 192.168.123.2 (Default)). Click “Apply Settings” in the left frame to apply the new settings in the network device.

3.3 Web Page M & C Enter the following address in a web browser to access the M&C web page: http:///serial/0/setup.htm where is the IP address of the 2416-x02. Figure 3.3 (example below) shows the web page from model 2416-402 frequency converter. Figure 3.3: Model 2416-x02 Web Page (Example above shows M&C Web Page for Model 2416-402) 2416-402 Manual, Rev.
3.4 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 utility Hyper Terminal. Start the Hyper Terminal application and select “New Connection” from the “File” drop down menu. The next screen is a “Connect To” dialog box. 1. Enter the IP address of the 2416-x02 in the “Host address:” field. 2.
If you select Public, access is allowed for any number of authorized IP addresses of SNMP Managers. It is not required to enter IP Addresses of SNMP Managers. Figure 3.5: Device Server Configuration Menu Once you have completed you SNMP set up, select item #9, “SAVE AND EXIT” 2416-402 Manual, Rev.
