Local Control Module Description
The local control module locally monitors the following node voltages and signals:
Receiver optical input level
Transmitter optical output level
AC power presence and peak voltage (for split AC powering cases, AC
power from both sides of node housing is monitored)
DC voltages from both primary and redundant power supplies
The local control module communicates serially with the RF amplifier module to
