Embedded Section; Communication Interfaces - Motorola GX2 EA1000C Series User Manual

Overview

Embedded Section

The microprocessor section controls and monitors the laser module. The main and local
microprocessors:
•
Control the RF level into the laser, the laser temperature, and its optical-output
power.
•
Monitor laser module status and alarm conditions.
•
Provide an interface to the GX2-CM100B control module through the GX2-HSG*
backplane to enable status monitoring. This interface is also used by the
GX2-CM100B to control the GX2-EA1000C*/*.
•
Provide the ability to download new firmware code into the GX2-EA1000C*/*
through the status-monitoring and control interface.
•
Ensure that the module continues to operate normally with minimal interruption from
the firmware download. When the download has completed, it resets the module, as
commanded by the operator, to start the new firmware.
•
Reset the module to start new firmware if you switch firmware banks using the
status-monitoring software.
•
Retain all settings in NVM and maintain operating conditions after a power cycle.
•
Provide the ability to change settings using the network management interfaces.

Communication Interfaces

The GX2-EA1000C*/* can be monitored and controlled locally using the GX2-CM100B, in
conjunction with network management software. A PC interface is available through an
Ethernet port on the front of the GX2-CM100B. Using a standard Web browser, the
graphical user interface (GUI) provides a point-and-click method of monitoring and
controlling the shelf.
For higher-level management, the GX2-EA1000C*/* can be easily connected to a remote
network management system using the standard Ethernet SNMP interface.
See Table 4 in Section 4, "Operation" for specific information on alarm parameters.
