Go into the Read Community: and Write Community: boxes to enter text that is specified for the read/write strings on the SNMP Manag- er monitoring device. SNMP Traps When the 525N initiates an alarm, rather than being qu e ried or polled for one, the alarm is known as a ‘trap.’ You may enter three local network IP addresses as Trap Destinations, each cor- responding to other devices on the LAN that want to be ap- prised of alarms. SNMP Ports The default SNMP Port

AM broadcasting is unique in supporting a certain degree of asymmetry in the modulating waveform, and the United States FCC, as well as many interna- tional broadcast authorities, permit positive peak excursions to reach this +125% limit. A station is said to overmodulate if negative or positive peaks

SEL buttons will navigate the flashing brackets to the current AUDIO CUT: set- ting, and MENU/EDIT buttons may be used to set the audio cut- off to FLAT, or in 1kHz increments from 10kHz down to 2kHz.

Using the Front-Panel Buttons M etering and setup options use the diamond cluster of four pushbuttons in conjunction with the LCD screen. The MENU/EDIT buttons initially scroll up and down among the display screens and setup menus. In an editable menu (one where changes may be made), the left/right SEL (select) but- tons can then highlight a particular option with blinking brackets, as shown here for the NRSC DE-EMPH: selection. Bracketed options are then be �

Al t- hough the log is capable of containing a couple of thousand events, it might be important to know when you have accumu- lated a certain number of entries. So the Email when % full: slider sets-up an independent email notification to everyone when the alarm log reaches the set point. This email notifica- tion can be an alert to a frequently-recurring problem, or simp- ly serve as a reminder to downloaded and clear the log.

READING MODULATION The No. 1 PEAK MODULATION screen displays total carrier modulation in the active display area. The two bargraphs show positive and negative modulation in- dependently and concurrently. The bargraphs follow the modulation envelope, and single segments representing the highest positive and negative peaks ‘hang’ above the bars for a second or so to ensure that the highest instantaneous value will be displayed with no ambiguity. Setup of the peak flashers is covered later in this section. This total-mod display has 1%

The Hardware Profile is useful for restoring a previous mod- monitor setup or for ‘cloning’ a loaner or a second unit for backup service. Click: Download Hardware Profile to save the profile to your system. Depending on your browser and ver- sion, the file will normally be saved to a Downloads folder un- less you are asked for a specific ‘save to’ location. The file has a default name of 525Nsettings

You’ll be immediately prompted with a pop-up window asking for a User Name: and Password: . The User Name: is optional and may be left blank; it is not used with any other 525N function at this time. Just enter your new password in the Password: field. This pop-up will greet you each time you launch the 525N Web pages.

  • Inovonics 525N, — — 25 A solid, strong incoming carrier, preferably 40dBuV or more, will usually guarantee adequate SNR for accurate modulation readings. But even a strong signal can be sabotaged by co- channel ‘skip’ after daylight hours. Watch for a ‘beat’ on the RSSI display and listen for an intruding program at the re- ceived frequency. A strong adjacent-channel signal can also skew peak modula- tion readings. The 525N is, after all, a very wideband receiver. Although synchronous detection should reject an adjacent channel, the 525N compromises this feat

Signal-to-noise performance of the 525N is a direct function of the incoming RF level. The figures shown reference 100% mod- ulation with 10kHz audio bandwidth and NRSC de-emphasis. Figure 1 - Model 525N SNR Performance  Figure 2 illustrates the effect of the menu-programmable audio-cut filter in the program audio and headphone outputs of the Model 525N.

Noise is quantified on an arbitrary numerical scale of zero to nine with the bargraph scaled proportionally. Anything over a value of 2 gives reason to suspect the accuracy of modulation measurement. Aiming the antenna away from an offending source may help reduce the noise contribution. Metered noise is not the only non-program component that can sabotage modulation readings. Impulse noise

Off-air reception allows measurements to include the antenna and its phasing and tuning circuits. The 525N is a broadband receiver featuring wide audio re- sponse with user-selectable audio-monitor bandwidth charac- teristics. A phase-locked synchronous detector helps reject ad- jacent-channel interference and recovers only the amplitude- modulated component of HD Radio™ ‘hybrid-digital’
