The Constellation CMDL-1R Remotely Monitored L-Band Downlink Module integrates a high gain broadband distribution amplifier, LNB power insertion, 22 kHz insertion, 10 MHz reference insertion and micro-controller into a single module. The CMDL-1R Module plugs into any of the Constellation chassis platforms which provide full redundant DC power and reference clock distribution. When deployed in the SE-12R platform the module is polled for system operational status and alarms. System status flows up to the Network Operations Center over a SNMP agent provided in the SE-12R Chassis. The intelligence provides early detection for impending failures, decreasing system outages. RF levels, Reference Clock levels, and DC parameters can be remotely configured, or a Local Override is available when on-site for manual adjustments. Modules are hot swappable making adding circuits or reconfiguring sites non-interfering. Devices are autonomously added and deleted from the chassis inventory. The CMDL-1R can also be configured locally and deployed in the SE-12 chassis. All device configurations are available via a console interface and stored locally.
