Switch is a last category of the RF box which can be added into the setup definition. There are several sub
categories which specifies the kind of switch to be added.
SINGLE SWITCH (1 to N)
Interconnections
The first sub-tab shows to which RF
box feeds the R port of the antenna
switch and allows defining the A port
connections to other RF boxes.
Attributes
A standard N-way antenna switch has
no attributes – this tab will be
explained further in the "Stack Switch"
section. However, the principle is the
same as with a Vertical Array Antenna
RF box and can be applied to any
switch in general. Attributes is a list of
additional properties of the switch and
are implemented as additional bites in
the InVector. These attributes can then be controlled by sub-selection buttons or by the special Path Properties
button.
Switching
CONTROL BOX
•
Specifies which control box will be used to control this RF box. The Control box must specify a relay unit
with exactly same number of relay outputs as are set in Output count. Only control boxes with equal relay
outputs will be shown in drop down menu.
Output count
•
Specifies how many control wires are needed to control RF box. Maximum value is 20. If more than 10
control wires as provided by a uLINK RELAY 10 module are required, the master/salve method must be
used.

RF BOX CATEGORIES – Switch
It is a simplest antenna switch with one R port and N number of A ports. Router
includes predefined templates for antenna switches from microHAM as well as
switches from Ameritron, Array Solutions, Comtek, DX-Engineering and Top-Ten. Any
other two (2) to ten (10) way switch can be added as Other switch.
When a new switch is added to the configuration, five (5) sub-tabs will be generated.
