Page 15 SECTION 2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 2.1 UNIT OVERVIEW The UNITY 4422 features several separate hardware components: The DC switching power supply, the main motherboard, a DVB-ASI input card, front-panel keypad controller card, and a front-panel LCD assembly. The DC switching power supply provides all internal regulated DC power. The unit’s input is to the ASI card, mounted as Module 1. That card has two BNC input connectors and an internal (inside the chassis) connector that connects its o

Page 17 The main host processor runs the control system on the main board. This processor interfaces with the COMPEL™ network as well as local users and then controls and monitors the unit’s operations. To do its job, this processor accesses the control data streams recovered from the main transport demultiplexer. One of these may be a Conditional Access data stream (if used). The main processor sends this data to a separate secure microprocessor, which looks to see if its unit serial number

Page 20 2.3.10 LNB DC Power The unit may feed DC power to an external antenna-mounted LNB using either the RF-In connector’s center-pin or a terminal on the rear-panel terminal strip (with an external DC power inserter). The nominal voltage supplied is +17 to +24 VDC, while the maximum load current is 250 mA. The output is short-circuit protected by a thermal fuse. An internal jumper (J27) is used to enable/disable DC power on the RF-In center-pin. Once that jumper has been set, the LNB powe
