DESCRIPTION

Automatic Network Adjustment System is an innovative solution for simultaneous parameters set-up in all devices linked to one cluster. There is one Master Amplifier (ex BETA PRO 22G) and up to 20 End Amplifiers (ex. LAMBDA PRO 42G) in the cluster. The solution does not need any information about coaxial cable length nor type to accomplish the automatic adjustment. All system's components (all amplifiers in the cluster) can be controlled an managed from Master Amplifier location by group handheld terminal (GHHT). The terminal contains an algorithm for automatic network calibration procedure. During automatic adjustment procedure all the amplifiers are precisely adjusted (both in down- and up-stream) according to given output levels of end amplifiers. It eliminates the number of needed truck rolls to end locations and requirements for technicians' skills are not so high any more.

Amplifiers BETA PRO 22G and LAMBDA PRO 42G can be equipped with the QIS module (Quick Installation Stick) which stores information about the device's setting. It significantly simplifies amplifiers unit replacement during repairs. Additionally data from QIS of each amplifier in the cluster can be stored in GHHT what greatly simplifies data handling for network documentation. It can be done remotely for all the devices in the cluster from Master location or locally for each individual amplifier.

Thanks to the auto detection capabilities of the devices in the cluster, for the automatic adjustment procedure, the knowledge about the end amplifiers locations is not required.

Implementation of the ANA solution does not affect any parameters of the existing network: no additional attenuation, distortion or power consumption nor need for special network design.

This unique, innovative solution simplifies installation, maintenance and replacement of amplifiers while significantly reducing the total costs for system implementation and maintenance.
