Chapter 1 Overview
AC power presence (for split AC powering cases, AC power from both sides
of node housing is monitored)
DC voltages from both primary and redundant power supplies
Commands are sent from the headend to the status monitor. The status monitor
communicates serially with the RF amplifier module to control the optional forward
band redundancy switches on the forward configuration module, the reverse band 6
dB (wink) attenuators on the reverse amplifier PWB, and the reverse band on/off
switches on the reverse amplifier PWB.
Note: The transponder core module can be seen through the upper of two round
cutouts in the cover.
