AXT600 Spectrum Manager
The Axient Spectrum Manager is a powerful tool for calculating, analyzing and assigning compatible frequencies to wireless components. The Spectrum Manager scans the
RF environment and uses this data to calculate compatible frequencies for all wireless channels found on the network. Networked wireless systems can be programmed from
the Compatible Frequency List, while backup frequencies are continuously monitored and ranked according to quality. During operation, the Spectrum Manager deploys clear
frequencies to receivers when interference occurs. Built-in spectrum monitoring tools provide visual and audio tracking of RF activity.
Features
Wideband Scanning
The Spectrum Manager captures scan data for the entire UHF frequency range available for wireless audio. The scan is compiled using two antenna inputs, with sensitivity
and resolution that are directly applicable to wireless receivers.
Compatible Frequency List
The Compatible Frequency List (CFL) is list of available frequencies that can be calculated, viewed, and edited from the Spectrum Manager or it can be generated from a
computer running Wireless Workbench
threshold. During operation the Spectrum Manager provides current status of each frequency in the list. Clear frequencies are deployed from the compatible frequency list to
initially setup a system or to replace frequencies degraded by interference.
Event Log
The Event Log records actions of the Spectrum Manager during operation. Actions include changes to frequencies and equipment controlled by the Spectrum Manager.
Reviewing the event log after a performance provides a snapshot of system performance.
Backup Frequency Monitoring
The data screen tracks the status of all frequencies available for Axient systems. The number of frequencies is displayed for each band, including real-time status of in-use
and backup frequencies.
RF Scanning
The scanning feature of the Spectrum Manager graphically plots the measured RF signal across the full frequency range. Cursor, Zoom, and Peak tools allow detailed in-
spection of the data.
Listen
Use the Listen feature to tune to a frequency and monitor FM demodulated signal using headphones. The data screen displays the signal strength for the selected frequency.
Networking
Networking enables many of the advanced features of the Axient system, including monitoring and control of remote devices. Rack components have two RJ45 Ethernet ports
capable of 10/100 Mbps network speeds. The Ethernet ports are power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled to supply power to the ShowLink™ access point or other class 1 Ethernet
devices.
RF Cascade Ports
The cascade ports allow sharing of RF signal with up to 5 components without antenna splitters or distribution amplifiers.
