1 INTRODUCTION
The Web Management allows the OPC-2 terminals to be configured and monitored from a
web browser.
Configuration is carried out by specifying each one of the operative parameters of the
terminals, such as the carrier frequency of the channel and band direction, in both
transmission and reception, the input and output levels of the signals and their modulation
percentages, in normal and power-boosting conditions, the assignment of the alarms to the
external signalling relays, output deactivation conditions, and so on.
Monitoring can be carried out in either the local or remote terminal, being able to consult the
chronological register, the state of the alarms, the Signal/Noise (S/N) ratio and the received
pilot level.
The Web Management is also a help when carrying out commissioning of the terminal,
allowing the internal clock of the terminal to be set, line-filter adjustments, terminal
initialization and the necessary loops to be carried out in order to check the operation of the
link, etc. It also contains some tables with the configuration of the switches of the equipment
according to the number of channels and whether the transmit and receive bands are
adjacent or non-adjacent.

2 USER INTERFACE
Access to all the parameters that can be programmed and monitoring is carried out by
means of menus.
Figure 1 shows the main screen that appears on the browser, once the user password has
been entered and the security warning has been accepted.
Figure 1 Main screen
The main menu is to be found on the left side of the screen, whilst the right side is for the
display of programming and monitoring pages stored on the web server of the OPC-2
terminal. The page with the photo of the terminal disappears when any of the options of the
menu involving the display of any management page is selected.
The application will take the language in which the menus and pages will be displayed from
the operating system, unless the said language is not available, in which case it will be
displayed in English. The language can be changed by means of the list type control in the
top-right hand corner.

2.1 MAIN MENU
The main menu is presented on the left of the screen and has five fold down options that are
always visible. The five fold down options, in descending order, are Files, Software
updating, Configuration, Monitoring and Alignment help.
When any one of the options is pressed, a submenu unfolds where more fold down options
appear and/or links to the management pages of the OPC-2 terminal. The fold down options
and links to the management pages are both different in appearance and operation.
Fold down option Appearance: Maroon text preceded by ‘+’ sign and the icon of a
closed folder.
Operation: To select an option it is only necessary to click once on
the ‘+’ sign or twice on the folder icon or on the name of the option.
Once the option has been selected the corresponding submenu
unfolds, the ‘+’ sign becomes ‘-‘ and the icon of the closed folder
changes to open to indicate that the said menu has unfolded.
Link to management Appearance: Black text proceded by black dot.

page Operation: When the link is selected (one click on the text or
black dot) no submenu unfolds and the corresponding
management page is accessed.
2.2 MANAGEMENT PAGES
When any of the options of the menu are selected, the browser will display a web page.
These pages allow data of the terminal to be displayed and, if the user has an administrator
profile, to program data in the terminal. To carry out these actions, the pages have controls
for this purpose and on a management page, the following controls may be found:
− TextBox: The TextBox control is the most common control on a web page. It looks like a
text box and enables users to display and/or enter any numerical or alphanumerical value
from the keyboard.
− ListBox: The ListBox control looks like a text box, but limited to a fold down list of
elements of which the user, with the mouse, can choose one.

− CommandButton: The CommandButton control looks like a button of different colours,

depending on the action that is carried out when clicking it with the mouse.
In the management pages of Power-Line Carrier terminals type OPC-2, the most usual
CommandButton controls are:
OPEN: When pressed, disk data is obtained.
SAVE: When pressed, data is programmed on disk.
RETRIEVE: When pressed, data is obtained from a terminal.
PROGRAM: When pressed, data is programmed in the terminal.
QUANTITY: When pressed, the value of a parameter is increased or decreased by

a certain amount.
VIEW: When pressed, screens with information appear.
CONTINUE: When pressed, they force the appearance of new controls if the
required data have previously been entered.
− CheckBox: The CheckBox control is a box that shows a mark when it is activated; this
mark disappears if the control is de-activated. It is activated and de-activated by using the
mouse to click on it and allows the user to select an option of True/False or Yes/No.
The controls type TextBox, ListBox or CheckBox allow the user to display and enter data,
except when they are only informative, in which case they will appear lighter.
When the amount of information to be displayed in a page is so great that the parameters
cannot be shown, the scroll bars appear, horizontal and/or vertical, that allow the page to be
moved about in order to access them all.
2.3 MESSAGES
When handling the web application, messages may appear to indicate the result of the
actions carried out or ask for confirmation of the commands received.
They appear in standard Windows windows and require the user to use the mouse to select
the option he wishes to carry out, from among of the possibilities presented.

2.4 ON-LINE WEB MANAGEMENT AND OFF-LINE WEB MANAGEMENT
On-line Web Management means that the OPC-2 terminal is managed from a computer
connected to it, whereas in off-line Web Management, the management may be carried out
without any need for it to be connected to the terminal.
The off-line management takes on special meaning when one wishes to configure the
terminal from somewhere where there is no connection with it. The configuration of the
terminal may be programmed and saved on the management computer or on a magnetic
support, and when connection is possible, the configuration may be loaded into the terminal.
To be able to perform off-line management, it is necessary for the management computer

to have been previously connected to the OPC-2 terminal to obtain the pages
corresponding to the management from the server. Section 5, SOFTWARE UPDATING
MENU, explains how these pages are downloaded to the computer.
In the off-line management menu, only the options that make sense in this kind of
management (management without being connected to the terminal) appear and, for
example, no options appear relative to the Monitoring of the terminal. Chapter 3, OPTIONS
OF THE MAIN MENU, describes in detail which menu options appear, depending on
whether the Web Management is on-line or off-line.
2.5 LEAVING THE WEB MANAGEMENT
There are two options for leaving the Web Management:
− To close the Internet Explorer browser by selecting Close in the File option of the main
menu, or by clicking the X button located in the upper right hand corner of the window of
the browser.
− To enter a new address in the ADDRESS field of the browser screen.
In any of these cases, on leaving the Web Management, the application asks if the
configuration has to be saved.
It is advisable to save the data on the disk or the terminal before leaving, as any unsaved
modification will be lost.

3 OPTIONS OF THE MAIN MENU
Figure 2 shows the map of the on-line Web Management for access by an administrator
user profile.
As can be seen, the main menu comprises five options: Files, Software updating,
Configuration, Monitoring and Alignment help. When selected, they fold down into
submenus that contain options, or directly into options.
If the terminal is programmed without being connected to it (off-line Web Management) or

the user that accesses the OPC-2 terminal has a basic profile, fewer menus and options
appear than those seen on the web map illustrated in Figure 2.
Table 1 summarises the availability of all the options of the menu, depending on whether the
Web Management is on-line or off-line and whether the user profile is basic or administrator.
The nomenclature that appears in Table 1 is:
− Access depending on mode (on-line or off-line)
YES: Indicates that the page of the option appears on the web map.
NO: Indicates that the page of the option does not appear on the web map.
− Access depending on user profile (Basic or Administrator)
FULL: Indicates that the user has complete access to the option (reading and writing).
READ: Indicates that the user only has access to reading, meaning is possible to see
the programming of the terminal but not to modify it.
NO: Indicates that the page is not visible for the user.
All the menus and options that appear in the web map in Figure 2 are described in sections
4 to 8.

4 FILES MENU
This option of the main menu presents a single option with its own name which gives access
to the disk or terminal reading functions and writing on the disk or on the terminal, but
also makes it possible to install the certificates assigned to DIMAT by GlobalSign.
The page contains three sections that are described below.
4.1 DISK
This section allows data to be acquired relative to the programming of both the local and
remote terminals stored on disk, and to save the data relative to the programming of these
terminals in a file. There are two CommandButtons, OPEN and SAVE, for these operations.
When the OPEN CommandButton is pressed, which is next to the RETRIEVE DATA FROM
DISK text, an Open file window of Windows opens in which the disk unit and the directory
where the file one wishes to read is to be found must be selected. Once the file has been
selected, and by pressing ACCEPT in the Windows window, a window appears that reports
the evolution of the acquisition process. The data read may be consulted and modified in
the Configuration menu.
On pressing the SAVE CommandButton, next to the text SAVE DATA ON DISK, a Save file
window is opened in Windows, where it is necessary to choose the disk unit and the
directory where one wishes to save the file and give it a name.
If the name is the same as that of an already existing file, a warning window appears asking
if one wishes to overwrite it. If the answer is no, it is necessary to introduce a new name.
While the file is being saved, the percentage evolution of the process is shown in a window.
4.2 TERMINAL
This section establishes communication with the local terminal to acquire its
configuration data or load it with that programmed. These options are carried out by two
CommandButtons, RETRIEVE and PROGRAM.

The RETRIEVE CommandButton, which is next to the text RETRIEVE DATA FROM
TERMINAL, allows the acquisition of all its configuration data. If communication is not
achieved with the terminal, a communications failure warning is given.
The PROGRAM CommandButton, which is next to the text SAVE DATA IN TERMINAL,
enables a user, with an ADMINISTRATOR profile, to load the programmed configuration in
the local terminal. If the user wishes to modify some parameters only, it is better to do so
parameter by parameter to ensure that other values are not modified accidentally. The
programming held by the terminal cannot be retrieved unless it has previously been kept in
a file.
4.3 CERTIFICATE
This section allows the certificates assigned to DIMAT by GlobalSign

(www.globalsign.net), guaranteeing that the web application stored in the web server of the
OPC-2 terminals is trustworthy, to be installed in the browser. As can be seen in Figure 3,
first it is necessary to access the page associated to the certificate installation by means of
the RETRIEVE CommandButton.
In the said page, the certificates must be installed in the same order in which they appear,
that is, GlobalSign Root CA, GlobalSign Primary Object Publishing CA, GlobalSign Object
Publishing CA and Dimat S.A.
The installation process is described in the Installation and commissioning manual of the
OPC-2 terminal.

Figure 3 Certificate installation page

5 SOFTWARE UPDATING MENU
This option of the main menu displays two options, one for the MANAGEMENT AND
PROCESS UNIT (MAPU) module and another for the INPUT AND OUTPUT INTERFACE
(IOIN) module.
5.1 MAPU
The following operations can be carried out from the screen associated to the MAPU option.
− software updating, and
− download the necessary pages to carry out off-line Web Management.
On the other hand, from this screen it is possible to know the different software and
firmware versions associated to the module, together with the checksum, and update it.
Figure 4 shows the page that is displayed when this option is accessed.
Figure 4 Page associated to MAPU option

Software updating
From the section UPDATING of the screen associated to the MAPU option, the user with
ADMINISTRATOR profile can, when a new version of the current pages is developed,
update the web pages stored in the server of the OPC-2 terminal.
The file corresponding to the web pages is known as Management and control software.
Once a new version of this file is obtained, it is loaded in the server of the OPC-2 terminal
by means of the associated PROGRAM CommandButton. When pressed, an Upload
window of Windows appears where the disk unit and directory containing the Management
and control software file must be selected.
Once the file has been updated, the following operations must be carried out:
1. OPC-2 terminal reset.
In order to do so, press ACCEPT in the warning window that appears.
2. Close the Microsoft Internet Explorer.
3. Open the Microsoft Internet Explorer and delete the cache memory of the
management computer, from the Tools menu (Internet options) of the Microsoft
Internet Explorer, and the cache memory of the Java virtual machine, by means of
the Start button of Windows (Java Plug-in of the Control panel).
Download the pages to carry out off-line Web Management
From the section DOWNLOAD of the screen associated to the MAPU option, it is possible
for the user, with ADMINISTRATOR profile, to download on his computer the pages
necessary for carrying out off-line Web Management.
This section has a RETRIEVE CommandButton associated to the Management and

control software file that, when pressed, opens a Download window of Windows in which
the disk unit and directory where one wishes to save the Management and control software
file must be selected. This file, once saved, is automatically decompressed, creating all the
files and directories necessary for carrying out off-line Web Management.
Among the decompressed files there is a ComMainOffline.htm file, which must be opened
by means of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser from the management computer in
order to start up the off-line Web Management.
In order to do so, we can click twice on the said file, which will open the browser and load
the file automatically, or open the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser and select Open of
the Files option of the main menu. EXAMINE must then be pressed in the Open window of
Windows to select the disk unit, the directory and, lastly, the ComMainOffline.htm file.

Software and firmware updating
From the section UPDATING, the user with ADMINISTRATOR profile can update the
software and firmware of the module.
This updating must be carried out according to the instructions of the DIMAT technical
department.
The new version of each file is loaded in the server of the OPC-2 terminal, by means of the
associated PROGRAM CommandButton. When pressed, an Upload window of Windows
appears where the disk unit and directory containing the file in question must be selected. It
is not necessary to carry out a reset after each updating. A terminal reset must only be
carried out at the end of the process if the terminal has not done it by itself.
The STATUS LED on the MAPU front plate must light up in green before you can
continue working with the application.
5.2 IOIN
When the screen associated to the IOIN option is accessed, the user, with an
ADMINISTRATOR profile, can monitor the current version of software and firmware of
the module and the checksum, and update it.
This updating must be carried out according to the instructions of the DIMAT technical
department.
In this way, once a new version of the file is obtained, it is loaded in the OPC-2 terminal by
means of the associated PROGRAM CommandButton. When pressed, an Upload window
of Windows appears where the disk unit and directory containing the file must be selected.
Once the file has been updated, an OPC-2 terminal reset must be carried out. In order to
do so, press ACCEPT in the warning window that appears.

6 CONFIGURATION MENU
The Configuration option of the main menu is used to program the parameters relating to
network management as well as the programming of the terminals to be defined.
This option has one option, Terminal identification, and two submenus, Network and Basic
equipment, which are described below.
If the terminal is configured with options, the submenus for the programming of the options
also appear in the Configuration option.
6.1 TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION
Two TextBox, IDENTIFICATION CODE and COMMENT, appear in this section that allow
the user to program a numeric identification and a description of up to 49 characters
respectively, in the terminal. The OPC-2 terminals leave the factory with their serial numbers
programmed in the IDENTIFICATION CODE TextBox, although the user can program any
other numeric value that he considers appropriate.
6.2 NETWORK
This submenu gives access to all the management pages concerning the configuration and
maintenance of the web server.
6.2.1 User passwords
This option of the submenu only appears if the user connecting to the web server of the
OPC-2 terminal has an ADMINISTRATOR user profile.
The User passwords option, as the name indicates, allows the default user passwords of
the system to be modified for both basic users and administrator users.
Figure 5 shows the User passwords page, and as can be seen, it is made up of three TextBox
for each profile (administrator and basic), which hold the user identification, the password and

the confirmation of the password and a CommandButton, for each profile, to program the new
user profile in the server.
Once a user password has been modified, it will not be effective until the web server is
reinitiated.
Figure 5 User passwords page
6.2.2 Network
This option should be used, by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile, if any modification is

made to the working environment and it is necessary to update any of the network
parameters.
Figure 6 shows the page that appears when this option is accessed. The parameters
configured in the terminal are acquired by pressing the RETRIEVE CommandButton.
The ETHERNET PARAMETERS must be entered in the three TextBox labelled IP

ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK and GATEWAY.
The parameters configured in the screen are transferred to the terminal by pressing the
PROGRAM CommandButton.

Figure 6 Network parameters page
By default, the IP ADDRESS of the terminal is 172.16.20.22. When the IP ADDRESS by

default is modified, it is advisable to store the new address in some type of register as,
should the new address be forgotten, it is not possible to access the web server.
If the new IP address is forgotten, by carrying out a jumper in the

MANAGEMENT & PROCESS UNIT module (MAPU) the IP address by default
(172.16.20.22) as well as the default user passwords of the system are loaded again in
the terminal.
6.2.3 MAC
Any element of a local area network is identified by a single coded number called the MAC
address (medium access address). This address is used to create the frames that are used
in the communication between the different elements of the network.
When the MAC option is accessed, a page appears displaying the MAC address of the
MANAGEMENT AND PROCESS UNIT (MAPU) module.

Figure 7 shows this option. When the OPC-2 terminal is connected to the computer and its
configuration is acquired by means of the RETRIEVE CommandButton, this value of the
MAPU module is indicated in the TextBox labelled MAC ADDRESS.
Figure 7 MAC page
6.3 BASIC EQUIPMENT
This submenu presents nine options that allow the specific programming of the terminals to
be carried out.
When any of the options of this submenu are selected, by default the page referring to
the local terminal is displayed with LOCAL TERMINAL in the top left-hand corner. If one
wishes to display the page of the remote terminal, it is necessary to press the REMOTE
button that appears in the top right-hand corner of all the pages referring to the local
terminal. The page will then change colour and refer to REMOTE TERMINAL, the LOCAL
TERMINAL button appearing in the top right-hand corner.

Some of the programming options can cut the link. This happens, for example, with a
change of bands and/or frequencies, transmit level, and so on. If only one of the terminals
has been changed, only one of the directions of transmission is lost. It is therefore
possible to recover the link by restoring the previous values or by programming the
complementary values in the other terminal. If it is necessary to modify parameters that
can cut one of the directions of transmission of the link, the user must establish a
programming sequence that allows it to be recovered. For example, in order to change
the transmit frequency of the local terminal, it is first necessary to program the receive
frequency of the remote terminal.
6.3.1 Configuration
The Configuration option of the Basic equipment submenu gives access to the page shown
in Figure 8.
Figure 8 Configuration page

As can be seen in the figure, the page is divided into four sections. The configuration can be
acquired from the terminal by means of the corresponding RETRIEVE CommandButton.
The parameters configured are programmed, by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile, by
pressing the corresponding PROGRAM CommandButton.
The first section, CHANNEL CONFIGURATION, contains the two ListBox type controls
which allow the number of channels to be programmed in transmission and reception. The
number of channels must be the same in both transmission and reception.
By means of the second, SYNCHRONISM TYPE, it is possible to define, with a ListBox type
control, whether the terminals of the link should synchronize the reception. If NO is
selected it means that it is a non-synchronism operation (Plesiochronous).
The third, POWER CONFIGURATION, contains a ListBox type control that allows the
output power (20, 40 or 80 W) to be configured.
The last section, TERMINAL CONFIGURATION, contains the controls that allow the
incorporated options to be selected.
When an option is selected the corresponding submenus open in the Configuration,

Monitoring and Alignment help options of the main menu.
6.3.2 Bands and frequencies
Figure 9 shows the page that appears when this option is accessed.
As can be seen in the figure, by means of a ListBox type control, the direction of the band
(erect or inverted) must be selected for both transmission and reception and, by means of
a TextBox type control, the carrier frequency of the channel, situated between 36 and
508 kHz. This data can be acquired from the terminal by means of the RETRIEVE
CommandButton.
Table 2 shows all possible directions of the bands for single and twin channels equipment.

Figure 9 Bands and Frequencies page for a single channel terminal
Erect bands Inverted bands
Single-channel
equipment
Twin-channel
equipment
Table 2 Direction of the bands
If the values introduced cause malfunction of the link, once the PROGRAM
CommandButton has been pressed, a warning appears indicating the situation and asking
for confirmation.
This screen can only be programmed by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile.
To program all the parameters at the same time, use the PROGRAM CommandButton
next to that of RETRIEVE.

6.3.3 Input levels
As can be seen in Figure 10, the page associated to the Input levels option can be used by
an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to assign the levels and modulation percentages to the
input signals, in normal operation, for each one of the channels defined in the
Configuration option.
Figure 10 Input levels page for a single channel terminal
To enter or modify a parameter, the TextBox type controls intended for this purpose must be
used. The CommandButton allows the introduced data to be programmed or acquired from the
terminal.
To cancel an input it is only necessary to give it a modulation percentage of 0.
Overmodulation (modulation over 100%) is permitted; in this case it is up to the user to

verify that the values introduced are correct. It must be borne in mind that the whole-band
limiter of the terminal trims the overmodulation peaks and therefore distorts the signals that
produce them. When the inputs are programmed with a percentage of modulation that is
greater than 100%, on pressing the PROGRAM CommandButton, a warning window
appears, indicating "Total modulation percentage is greater than 100%. Do you want to
program?".
TextBoxes corresponding to channel 2 only appear in terminals with a twin transmit channel.

6.3.4 Output levels
As can be seen in Figure 11, the page associated to the Output levels option can be used
by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to assign the levels and modulation percentages to
the output signals for each one of the channels defined in the Configuration option.
Figure 11 Output levels page for a single channel terminal
To program the output signal levels it is necessary to specify the modulation percentage
assigned to the remote terminal pilot and, for each output, the modulation percentage
assigned in transmission and the desired output level. The web application does not verify if
the modulation percentages introduced in the remote terminal agree with those programmed
in the local terminal.
terminal.
Owing to the line loss in the band assigned to service, it is possible that small differences
exist between the programmed values and the real values. To correct these values it is
advisable to carry out a complete adjustment of the terminal.
TextBoxes corresponding to channel 2 only appear in terminals with a twin receive channel.

6.3.5 Boosting levels
As can be seen in Figure 12, the page associated to the Boosting levels option can be used
by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to assign the levels and modulation percentages to
the input signals, for power boosting condition, for each one of the channels defined in
the Configuration option.
Figure 12 Boosting levels page for a twin-channel terminal
terminal.
To cancel an input it is only necessary to give it a modulation percentage of 0.
6.3.6 Transmit level

Figure 13 Transmit level page
When the RETRIEVE CommandButton is pressed, the present transmit-level value is

presented by a bar-type analog indicator as well as in a TextBox in decibels relative to the
nominal level of the terminal.
The transmit level adjustment can only be carried out by an ADMINISTRATOR user
profile. The transmit level can be modified by directly introducing the desired value in the
dBr TextBox or by varying the existing value by fixed quantities using the quantity
CommandButtons.
When the level is modified with the quantity CommandButtons, the programming of the
terminal is updated automatically. If the desired value is introduced directly in the
TextBox, it is transferred to the terminal by pressing the PROGRAM CommandButton.
Given that line-filter losses depend on the programmed channel used for transmission, it is
occasionally necessary to carry out an adjustment of the transmit level after adjusting the
filters to guarantee that the output power is the same as that desired.

6.3.7 Alarm-relay conditions
This option can be used by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to assign any alarm
situation that is produced in the terminal to each one of the three alarm signalling
relays, with a simple contact (Relay 1, Relay 2 and Relay 3), available in the terminal, as
well as the timing for alarm activation.
As can be seen in Figure 14, which shows the page that is displayed when the page
associated to the Alarm-relay conditions option is selected, the alarms are selected by
means of CheckBox type controls.
Figure 14 Alarm-relay conditions page

For each relay, the associated CommandButton allows the specified activation conditions to
be programmed or acquired from the terminal.
Timing is programmed by introducing a value of between 0 and 60 s in the RELAY

ACTIVATION TIMING TextBox. This timing is used as a security measure as, once
configured, the relay will not be activated until it is verified that the condition is really
satisfied during the programmed time.
6.3.8 Activation and deactivation conditions
This option can be used by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to define the blocking of an
output due to pilot loss, and define the Signal/Noise ratio value for which the blocking
of an output must be carried out, as well as the value that produces the external excess
noise alarm.
As can be seen in Figure 15, the page associated to the Activation and deactivation
conditions option is divided into two sections. Its configuration can be acquired from the
terminal by means of the corresponding RETRIEVE CommandButton.
Figure 15 Activation and deactivation conditions page for a twin-channel terminal

In the first section, the outputs that must be deactivated due to pilot loss are specified by
means of CheckBox type controls, and the S/N ratio thresholds that produce the
deactivation and activation of the outputs by means of TextBox type controls.
In the second section, the S/N ratio thresholds that activate or deactivate the external alarm
due to excess noise in the channel (LOW S/N LED and, if be the case, signalling relay) are
specified by means of two TextBox type controls.
CheckBoxes corresponding to channel 2 only appear in terminals with a twin receive

channel.
In both sections, the range of valid values for the S/N ratio goes from +4 to +36 dB. This
range is limited, however, according to the modulation percentage assigned to the pilot,
which is shown, in the first section, in the RECEIVE PILOT TextBox.
In each section, the parameters configured in the screen are transferred to the terminal by
pressing the corresponding PROGRAM CommandButton.
The de-activation threshold specifies the S/N ratio below which the output is deactivated and
above which the alarm is deactivated, whilst the activation threshold specifies the value above
which the output is activated and below which the alarm is activated. The change of state
presents hysteresis as indicated in Figure 16. This means that the activation threshold must
be at least 2 dB higher than that of deactivation. The output activation and deactivation is also
delayed in order to prevent them from activating due to noise impulses of a short duration.
Figure 16 Hysteresis in the activation and deactivation
The programmed thresholds are referred to a total-band signal with 100% modulation. The
S/N ratio in these conditions [S/N]total can be calculated from the desired ratio [S/N]service
given for a bandwidth Bservice and for a modulation percentage %modulationservice by means
of the following formula:
⎛S⎞ ⎛S⎞ ⎛ Bservice ⎞ ⎛ % modulationservice ⎞

⎜ ⎟ =⎜ ⎟ + 10Log ⎜ ⎟ - 20Log ⎜ ⎟
⎝ ⎠ total ⎝ N ⎠ service
N ⎝ 3550Hz ⎠ ⎝ 100% ⎠

6.3.9 Unavailable link-signal condition
The screen associated to the Unavailable link-signal condition option can be used by an
ADMINISTRATOR user profile to define the conditions that activate the unavailable-link
signal, independently for each of the channels of the link. The conditions selected can be
alarms or local boosting.
Figure 17 shows the page that appears when this option is accessed. The conditions are
selected by means of CheckBox type controls. The associated CommandButtons allow the
specified conditions to be programmed or retrieved from the terminal.
Figure 17 Unavailable link-signal condition page for a single-channel terminal
CheckBoxes corresponding to channel 2 only appear in terminals with a twin receive

channel.
The unavailable-link signal is also activated in the cases of loops, inclusion and
putting-into-service adjustments. Furthermore this signal is taken into account by the
optional modules when they need to know if they can use the communication channel
or not.

7 MONITORING MENU
This Monitoring option of the main menu allows the system to be monitored by means of its
options.
This option basically has only one submenu, Basic equipment, which is described below. If
the equipment is configured with options, the submenus for monitoring these options also
appear in the Monitoring option.
When any one of the options of the Basic equipment submenu is accessed, a page relating
to the local terminal is displayed. A button appears in the top right-hand corner that allows
the same page relating to the remote terminal to be displayed.
Each page also has a MONITORING STATE indicator. When the indicator is green it means
that the data of the screen is correct.
7.1 S/N RATIO
As can be seen in Figure 18, this option gives access to a page which indicates the S/N
ratio by means of a TextBox and an analog indicator graduated in dB. It also indicates if an
alarm state exists for pilot loss and excess noise level, for channel 1 and channel 2, if
applicable.
The S/N ratio is referred to a total-band signal with a modulation percentage of 100%.

Figure 18 S/N ratio page
7.2 RECEIVED PILOT LEVEL
As can be seen in Figure 19, this option gives access to a page which monitors the
received pilot level by means of a TextBox and an analog indicator graduated in dBm. It
also indicates if an alarm state exists for pilot loss, for channel 1 and channel 2, if
applicable.

Figure 19 Received pilot level page
7.3 DISPLAY OF ALARMS
When this option is accessed a display page appears showing the state of the terminal
alarms (see Figure 20).

Figure 20 Display of alarms page
In the page, each alarm has associated a control in the form of a LED which is shown in red
in alarm situation.
The alarms that can appear on the page are as follows:
− Pilot loss - channel 1. This alarm activates when the MANAGEMENT & PROCESS UNIT
(MAPU) module detects that the pilot of channel 1 has been lost in reception.
When this alarm activates, the LEDs PILOT LOSS of channel 1 and GENERAL ALARM
of the MAPU module light up.
− Pilot loss - channel 2. Exactly the same as the previous one but referring to channel 2.
− Low S/N ratio - channel 1. This alarm activates when the MANAGEMENT & PROCESS
UNIT (MAPU) module detects that the S/N ratio in channel 1 is below the specified
threshold. The said threshold is specified from the Activation and deactivation conditions
option of the Basic equipment submenu of the Configuration menu.
When this alarm activates, the LEDs LOW S/N of channel 1 and GENERAL ALARM of
the MAPU module light up.

− Low S/N ratio - channel 2. Exactly the same as the previous one but referring to
channel 2.
− Low output level in amplifier. This alarm indicates failure of the line amplifier, in the
HIGH FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER (HFAM) module, due to low transmission level.
When this alarm activates, the LOW LEVEL LED of the HFAM module and the
GENERAL ALARM LED of the MAPU module light up.
− Amplifier overload. This alarm indicates failure of the line amplifier, in the HIGH
FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER (HFAM) module, due to overload.
When this alarm activates, the OVERLOAD LED of the HFAM module and the
GENERAL ALARM LED of the MAPU module light up.
− L.F. limiter action - channel 1. This alarm complies with the International
Recommendation IEC 495 and activates when the low frequency input, associated to
channel 1, is higher than the programmed values. The said values are specified from the
Input levels option of the Basic equipment submenu of the Configuration menu.
When this alarm activates, the GENERAL ALARM LED of the MAPU module lights up.
− L.F. limiter action - channel 2. Exactly the same as the previous one but referring to
channel 2.
− Loss of synchronism. This alarm activates when the MANAGEMENT & PROCESS UNIT
(MAPU) module detects that the synchronism of the link has been lost. This alarm can only
appear in a terminal programmed to operate with synchronism. With synchronism, the
terminal uses its internal oscillator as the master transmission clock and synchronizes its
reception with the other terminal using the pilot received.
When this alarm activates, the LEDs SYNCHRONISM LOSS and GENERAL ALARM of
the MAPU module light up.
− Temperature alarm. This alarm activates when one of the three thermal sensors of the
terminal, located in the MANAGEMENT & PROCESS UNIT (MAPU) module, detects that
the temperature operating conditions established at the factory are not being complied
with.
− Power-supply failure. This alarm indicates that any of the power-supply voltages of the
main power-supply (POSU I) is not within the correct range.
When this alarm activates, the LED POWER-SUPPLY FAIL of the POSU module and
the LED GENERAL ALARM of the MAPU module light up.

− Secondary power-supply failure. This alarm only appears when the terminal operates
with redundant power-supply, that is to say, when it is equipped with two POSU modules.
This alarm indicates that any of the power-supply voltages of the secondary power-supply
(POSU II) is not within the correct range.
When this alarm activates, the LED POWER-SUPPLY FAIL of the POSU module and
the LED GENERAL ALARM of the MAPU module light up.
− Terminal configuration error. This alarm activates when the MANAGEMENT &
PROCESS UNIT (MAPU) module detects that any of the configuration parameters is
corrupt but can possibly be recovered by reprogramming.
When this alarm activates, the LED GENERAL ALARM of the MAPU module lights up
intermittently.
− Hardware failure. This alarm activates when the MANAGEMENT & PROCESS UNIT
(MAPU) module detects a hardware failure due to a communication failure with the DSP,
the options or the INPUT AND OUTPUT INTERFACE (IOIN module).
As indicated below, each type of failure has an associated code:
0 General hardware error.
1 Serious error in configuration parameters.
2 Communication failure with IOIN module.
3 Failure of any of the DSPs.
4 Power-supply failure in simple options.
5 ABIT module failure - channel 1.
6 ABIT module failure - channel 2.
When this alarm activates, the LED GENERAL ALARM of the MAPU module lights up
intermittently.
Should an optional module, for example a speech module (TMOD) or a digital transit
filter (FTRD module) be configured, when Hardware failure is selected from the Alarm-
relay conditions option of the Basic equipment submenu of the Configuration menu,
the associated relay activates, as well as when a failure occurs in any of the power-
supply voltages of the said modules.

− Failure in speech module - channel 1. This alarm is only displayed when the terminal is
configured in channel 1 with a speech module (TMOD). This alarm activates when there is
a failure in the speech low-pass filter.
When this alarm activates, the LED GENERAL ALARM of the MAPU module lights up.
A failure in any of the internal power-supply voltages of the speech module is stored in
the chronological register also as hardware failure (code 4).
− Failure in speech module - channel 2. Exactly the same as the previous one but
referring to channel 2.
7.4 CHRONOLOGICAL REGISTER
The operation one wishes to carry out, that is to say, consult (retrieve), deletion (delete)
or generating a file (save) can be selected by means of the corresponding OPERATION
CommandButton.
Before consulting the register, some parameters must first be indicated. By means of the
TYPE CheckBox controls, it must be indicated whether one wishes to monitor alarms,
events, or both. Finally, in the ListBox labelled SELECTION, it must be indicated whether
one wishes to consult the whole register or specifically, that is to say, by date and hour,
by number of elments or chronologically, beginning with the last.
When by date and hour is selected, various TextBox type controls appear on the screen for
the introduction of the initial date and hour and the final date and hour. In the DATE
TextBox, the data must be introduced as day, month and year in full and, in the HOUR
TextBox, the data must be introduced as hour, minutes and seconds.
When by number of elements is selected, a TextBox type control appears on the screen
for the introduction of the number of registers.
In the ListBox labelled DATE/HOUR, it is possible to select whether the information is

displayed in LOCAL time or UTC time.
Once all the monitoring parameters have been indicated, the register is downloaded by
means of the RETRIEVE CommandButton. A short description is given of each alarm and
event and the date and hour they were generated (UTC or LOCAL depending on selection).

Figure 21 Chronological register page
In the list area of registers a TextBox can be seen that shows the total number of registers,
and below this, the list of all the events and/or alarms that fulfill all the selection criteria
indicated. If this list is longer than the space available a scroll bar appears that allows all the
registers to be examined.
By means of the SAVE CommandButton a text file is generated that contains all the
elements of the chronological register. When pressed, a Save file window is opened in
Windows, where it is necessary to select the disk unit and the directory where the file will be
saved, and give it a name. This can be any file name valid for Windows. This file can be
displayed and printed from any word processor.
To delete the contents of the register, the DELETE CommandButton must be pressed.

8 ALIGNMENT HELP MENU
The aim of this option of the main menu, as its name suggests, is to make commissioning of
the terminal easier for the user.
This option basically has two submenus, Management module and Basic equipment, which
are described below. If the equipment has been configured with options, the necessary
submenus for commissioning these options also appear in the Alignment help option.
8.1 MANAGEMENT MODULE
This submenu has only one option, MAPU jumper configuration, which shows how the
jumpers of the MANAGEMENT AND PROCESS (MAPU) module should be configured in
order to select the active LAN interface, the IP address by default (172.16.20.22) as
well as the default user passwords of the system.
Figure 22 shows the web page that is displayed when this option is selected.
Once the selection has been carried out, and the VIEW CommandButton pressed, a display
screen appears showing how the module jumpers should be configured.

Figure 22 MAPU jumper configuration page
8.2 BASIC EQUIPMENT
This submenu presents a series of options that allows the following operations to be carried
out, among others: setting the clock, reset of the equipment, the loops used to check the link
response, the RCV-filter adjustment, the XMT-filter adjustment, the amplitude-response
adjustment and switch and jumper configuration of the terminal according to the number of
channels and the relative position of the transmit and receive bands.
When any one of the options of this submenu is accessed, a page relating to the local
terminal is displayed. A button appears in the top right-hand corner that allows the same
page relating to the remote terminal to be displayed.

8.2.1 Setting the clock
This option, see Figure 23, can be used by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to program a
time synchronization as well as modify the date and hour values of the internal clock
of the terminal.
Figure 23 Setting the clock page
Time synchronization is described in the Time synchronization section of the General

description menu. Therefore, this section only describes how to program it.
To program time synchronization, IRIG-B must be selected in the ListBox labelled

SYNCHRONIZATION and then the PROGRAM CommandButton must be pressed. Once
the time synchronization has been programmed, the SYNCHRONIZATION STATE indicator
will be green if the said synchronization is correct, and red if incorrect.
If synchronization is not required, NO must be selected in the ListBox labelled

SYNCHRONIZATION and then the PROGRAM CommandButton must be pressed.

In order to modify the date and hour values of the internal clock of the terminal, the time
reference one desires, that is to say, UTC time or LOCAL time must be selected in the
ListBox labelled UPDATE. Both references, on the other hand, can be displayed in the
TextBox associated to CURRENT DATA. Refreshment time for both time references is
configured in the REFRESH TIME TextBox.
When synchronization via IRIG-B is selected, the time reference of the receiver will
always be UTC time.
CURRENT DATA will always be monitored correctly when the indicator of the page labelled
MONITORING STATE is green. If communication is lost with the terminal, the indicator is
red, showing monitoring failure.
Once the time reference has been established, the date data must be introduced in the
DATE TextBox as day, month and year in full, together with the hour data in hour, minutes
and seconds in the HOUR TextBox. The time reference is programmed in the terminal by
means of the PROGRAM CommandButton.
It must be remembered that the date and hour values of the internal clock
programmed in the terminal will not have preference if an external time synchronization
has been programmed.
There are also two CheckBox type controls, SAVE SYNCHRONIZATION EVENTS and
SAVE EVENTS OF INTERNAL-CLOCK UPDATING OPERATIONS, on the screen. When
selected it is possible to save the events relating to synchronization and internal-clock
updating in the chronological register.
8.2.2 Initializations
This option, see Figure 24, can be used by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to reset the
equipment without having to use the button on the front, and to carry out certain operations
in the terminal such as Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit blocking and phase
amplitude equalizer cancellation.
Once the BLOCK AGC CommandButton is pressed, the web page loads again and the text
associated to it indicates the opposite action, that is to say, UNBLOCK AGC.
In the case of the equalizer, when the CANCEL PHASE AMPLITUDE EQUALIZER
CommandButton is pressed, the web page indicates the opposite, that is to say, ACTIVATE
PHASE AMPLITUDE EQUALIZER.

The phase amplitude equalizer cancellation decreases the signal delay which can be useful,
for example, when only working with teleprotection to obtain lower signal delays.
Figure 24 Initializations page
8.2.3 Loop control
This option, see Figure 25, can be used by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to carry out
the control of the low-frequency loops used to obtain information about the response
curve of the link. The loop can be carried out in both the local and remote terminals and,
furthermore, if the terminal is twin-channel, it can be carried out in either of the two
channels.
As can be seen in the figure, the channel, the type of loop and the terminal where the loop is
to be carried out are selected by means of ListBox type controls.
The TYPE OF LOOP ListBox shows the following options:
− None. There is no loop or, if there is, it will be de-activated. When the terminal is working
under normal conditions, this option should be chosen.

− Direct. The received signal is sent back without altering its level in order for the terminal
that sent it to know the total loss of the link, that is to say, the outward and return circuit.
− With level recovery. The received-signal level will be amplified or attenuated so that it is
sent back with a level equivalent to 50% modulation. By means of this loop it is possible to
know the losses of the backward channel.
Figure 25 Loop control page
Once all the page parameters have been defined, the loop is executed by pressing the
PROGRAM CommandButton.
In the terminal where the loop is carried out the inputs and outputs are de-activated.
It is recommended that the inputs and outputs of the terminal used as a

transmitter/receiver are disconnected to make sure that problems do not occur in
equipment that could be in communication.

8.2.4 Amplitude-response adjustment
The frequency response in base band of the link may be altered when the connection to the
high-voltage line is carried out. In order to correct small variations, this option can be used
by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to carry out a digital adjustment of the amplitude
response in base band of the link.
Figure 26 Amplitude-response adjustment page
Before using this facility, it is necessary to measure the response in base band in
reception.
The graphic, intended for correcting the distortion, is selected in the FILTER ListBox. There
are more than 50 available filter graphics. The graphic corresponding to the F0 filter appears
selected by default. Once the desired graphic has been selected, it is possible to modify the
value in steps of ±2 dB by pressing the DECREASE and INCREASE CommandButtons.
The programming is carried out by pressing the PROGRAM CommandButton.

8.2.5 RCV-filter adjustment
This option can be used by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to carry out the
receive-filter adjustment, adjust the inductances and, later, check the whole filter. This
filter is located in the RECEPTION FILTER (RXFI) module. To carry out the adjustment,
bear in mind that the terminal must not be connected to the line.
Figure 27 RCV-filter adjustment page
As can be seen in Figure 27, first it is necessary to enter configuration values or acquire
them from the terminal by means of the RETRIEVE CommandButton.
Then, the CONTINUE CommandButton must be pressed, after which a ListBox labelled
TYPE OF ADJUSTMENT will appear where it is possible to select any of the options: L1
inductance adjustment, L2 inductance adjustment and Whole filter.

When the adjustment is carried out for the first time, it is recommended that the order
indicated on the ListBox be followed, that is to say, start with inductance L1, then adjust
inductance L2 and finally check the adjustment of the whole filter.
When an adjustment is selected in the ListBox, and the VIEW CommandButtons are
pressed, the position of the switches and microswitches of the HF HYBRID AND LINE
FILTER (HALF) and RECEPTION FILTER (RXFI) modules appear on the screen and, if the
terminal is of 80 W, that of the LINE FILTER AND DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMER (JFLT)
module.
L1 inductance adjustment/L2 inductance adjustment
The inductance adjustment procedure is analogous. To adjust each of these inductances

the following steps must be followed:
1) Set the switches and microswitches of the HF HYBRID AND LINE FILTER and
RECEPTION FILTER modules in accordance with the position shown on the screens
that appear when the VIEW CommandButtons are pressed.
2) Press the GENERATE CommandButton so that the terminal can begin to generate
the test tone.
3) As indicated on the screen (see Figure 28), put the TEST LOAD switch in TERMINAL
position and adjust the coil until the minimum voltage possible is obtained at the test
point 0.1 VLINE, which is found on the front of the HALF module.
4) Once the inductance has been adjusted, press the STOP CommandButton at the
bottom of the page.

Figure 28 L1-inductance adjustment page
Whole filter
By means of this option it is possible to verify the adjustment of the whole filter. To do so the
user must check that the frequency response of the filter, obtained by using a wide-band
voltmeter, does not present valleys or ripples within the band in question and that its ends
coincide with the filter cut-off frequencies. The measurement point is INPUT of the
RECEPTION FILTER (RXFI) module.
Before carrying out the adjustment, the equipment must be disconnected from the line and
the TEST LOAD switch must be set to NORMAL position by means of switch CM1 located
on the back of the terminal.

Furthermore, the switches and microswitches of the HF HYBRID AND LINE FILTER (HALF)
and RECEPTION FILTER (RXFI) modules must be placed in the position that appears on
the screen when the VIEW CommandButtons are pressed. If the terminal is of 80 W, that of
the LINE FILTER AND DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMER (JFLT) module is also shown.
As can be seen in Figure 29, to carry out the adjustment, two TextBox appear on the
screen, labelled START FREQUENCY and STOP FREQUENCY and a ListBox labelled
TYPE OF SWEEP on which one of the two options presented must be selected: Manual
sweep or Automatic sweep.
On performing a manual sweep, it is possible to select the frequencies that will be

generated by the terminal in two ways: by directly dragging the red vertical line with the
mouse to the required frequency or by starting with the initial frequency and using the
intervals specified in the FREQUENCY INCREMENT TextBox. When either of the two
operations is performed, the application will generate a tone at the specified frequency when
the START CommandButton is pressed.
If one wishes to stop the generation of a tone, the STOP CommandButton at the bottom of
the page must be pressed or any other option of the Management System selected.
If an automatic sweep is selected, two TextBox appear, labelled FREQUENCY

INCREMENT and TIME INCREASE where it is necessary to enter the interval of
frequencies at which tones will be generated and the time that each of the tones will last,
respectively. Having entered these values, the TextBox labelled TOTAL ESTIMATED TIME
shows an estimation of the time that it will take to perform the sweep. It is possible to start
the frequency sweep by pressing the START CommandButton.
As with the manual sweep option, if one wishes to stop the automatic sweep, the STOP
CommandButton at the bottom of the page must be pressed or any other option of the
Management System selected. If the generation of a tone is stopped by means of the
PAUSE CommandButton, it is possible to resume the transmission of the tone at the same
frequency by means of the START CommandButton.

Figure 29 Bottom of the RCV-filter adjustment page

8.2.6 XMT-filter adjustment
This option can be used by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to carry out the
transmit-filter adjustment, adjust the inductances and, later, check the whole filter. This
filter is located in the HF HYBRID AND LINE FILTER (HALF) module. In the OPC-280
model there is a second transmit line filter that is located in the LINE FILTER AND
DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMER (JFLT) module.
To carry out the adjustment of the transmit line filter, the terminal must be disconnected
from the line and the RECEPTION FILTER module (RXFI) extracted.
Once the adjustment process has been carried out, the RXFI module must be plugged into
the corresponding position again.
The XMT-filter adjustment option is functionally analogous as that of receive. It begins with
the adjustment of the input and output resonance circuits and finishes with the checking of
the whole filter.
However, for the terminals of 80 W, the measurements for the filter located in the HALF
module are carried out in the 0.1 VAMP2 test points of the JFLT module and not in the
0.1 VLINE test points of the HALF module. For the filter located in the JFLT module,
measurements are carried out in the 0.1 VAMP1 test points.
To adjust the whole filter, the test point in this case is 0.1 VLINE of the HALF module and
before carrying out the adjustment the test load must be placed in TERMINAL by means of
CM1 switch at the rear of the terminal
8.2.7 Switch configuration
The page that is displayed when this option is selected, and that can be seen in Figure 30,
shows the switch configuration of the terminal for normal operation according to the
number of channels and the relative position of the transmit and receive bands.

Figure 30 Switch configuration page
As can be seen in the figure, there are four possible configurations, which can be selected
by means of a ListBox type control, that depend on the number of channels and whether the
bands are adjacent or non-adjacent. These are: Single-channel/Adjacent bands,
Twin-channel/Adjacent bands, Single-channel/Non-adjacent bands and
Twin-channel/Non-adjacent bands.
When an option is selected in the ListBox, the corresponding switch and jumper
configurations appear in the form of a table.
The exact positions of the switches and jumpers in the modules of the equipment and their
use is included in the Installing and commissioning manual.
8.2.8 Receive level
This option can be used by an ADMINISTRATOR user profile to carry out a receive-level
adjustment in base band.
Figure 31 shows the page that appears when the Receive level option is accessed.

Figure 31 Receive level page for a single-channel terminal
When the RETRIEVE CommandButton is pressed, the current receive-level value is

presented by a bar-type analog indicator as well as in a TextBox type control.
The receive level can be adjusted up to ±3 dB directly introducing the desired value in the
dB TextBox or by varying the existing value by fixed quantities using the quantity
CommandButtons.
When the level is modified with the quantity CommandButtons, the programming of the
terminal is updated automatically. If the desired value is introduced directly in the
TextBox, it is transferred to the terminal by pressing the PROGRAM CommandButton.
The controls corresponding to channel 2 only appear in twin-channel terminals.
