MODEL 4115-300 Ka-Band Upconverter, Weather Resistant*

1.0 General

1.1 Equipment Description

The 4115-300 Ka-band Block Upconverter converts 0.95 - 1.95 GHz up to 27.5 - 31.0 GHz in four selectable

fixed bands. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC Power and PLL Alarms. The L-band to RF gain is +30

dB. Connectors are 2.92.mm for RF Out and RF Monitor, SMA for the external reference input and reference

output and Type N (all female) for the L-band. Gain, band select, and internal 10 MHz frequency are controlled

by the Ethernet M&C. In AUTO, the 10 MHz reference stays in external if the external level is in the +2 to +8

dBm range. It is powered by a 100-240 ± 10% VAC power supply, and mounted in a 8”Wide X 6”High X

16”Deep Weather Resistant enclosure.

NOTE: *Weather Resistant enclosures are designed to be water resistant for installation in an outdoor enclosure/antenna hut OR

mounted outdoors on an antenna assembly at their specified temperature ranges. They are designed to be located “out in the

elements” (water, sleet, snow, etc.) but they are not designed to be “submerged under” water. If an extended temperature range is

required, there is an Extended Temperature option (Option W21; -30˚C to +60˚C) available at an additional cost. Contact Cross for

2.0 Installation

The 4115-300 Ka-Band Upconverter consists of a 8”W X 6”H X 16”D Weather Resistant* enclosure.

A switching, ±12, +24, +5 VDC power supply provides power for the assemblies. The 4115-300 can be

secured to a mounting plate using the 4 holes on the bottom of the front and rear panel. (See Figure 2.5 for

mounting dimensions.)

2.1 Message Protocol

The serial format for the RS232/RS422/RS485 port is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

All messages consist of ASCII printable characters so standard terminals and terminal emulator programs may

be used to control and monitor the unit. All messages begin with the open bracket character “{”(ASCII 0x7B)

and end with the close bracket character “}” (ASCII 0x7D). Messages consisting of commands to set or change

operating parameters and modes of the unit begin with “C” (ascii 0x43) followed by a command specific

character. Messages consisting of queries to report operating parameters and modes begin with “S”

(ASCII 0x53) followed by a parameter specific character.

2.4 ETHERNET Interface Installation and Operation

The 4115-300 frequency upconverter is equipped with a 10/100 Base-T compatible Ethernet interface for

control and monitoring of its operating parameters. An HTML script interface allows the user to monitor and

control the converter using a standard web browser. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is also

supported. Contact Cross Technologies for the SNMP MIB file.

2.4.1 Methods of Connection

Directly Connected to a PC:

For control from a local PC, attach the 4115-300’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet network connector

on the PC using a crossover RJ-45 cable.

LAN Connection

For LAN connections, attach the 4115-300 Ethernet port to the LAN using a normal RJ-45 cable.

Use any PC on the LAN to connect to the 4115-300.

2.4.2 Ethernet Configuration

Each 4115-300 must be configured with an appropriate IP address, Netmask, and Gateway assigned by your

network manager. The 4115-300 is set at the factory with a static address of 192.168.123.2. The device server

in the 4115-300 has a built in HTTP based configuration manager that is used to configure network settings. To

access the configuration manager open a web browser and enter the IP address of the 4115-300 in the browser's

address field. The window shown in Figure 2-A will appear. As delivered, there is no password set. Choose

your user name and password here or leave those fields blank and click OK to proceed to the configuration

manager web page.
