MODEL 2016-25-01 Downconverter
1.0 General
1.1 Equipment Description
The 2016-25-01 Downconverter converts 2000 to 2500 MHz to 70 ± 18 MHz in 100 KHz steps with low group
delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide frequency selection. Multi-
function push button switches select the RF frequency and gain. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC
power (green), remote operation (yellow), and PLL alarm (red). Variable attenuators for the RF input provide a
gain range of 0 to +50 dB as adjusted by the front panel multi-function pushbutton switches. Frequency and
gain settings appear on the LCD display. Connectors are: N-type for RF In; BNC for IF Out, 10 MHz In, 10
MHz Out, and IF Monitor; SMA for RF Monitor and 1st LO Monitor. The unit is powered by a 100-240
±10% VAC power supply, and housed in a 1 3/4” X 19“ X 16” rack mount chassis.

2.4 Auto 10 MHz Reference Mode
When the frequency converter’s reference mode is set to AUTO it will lock to an external reference and
automatically switch to the internal reference if both PLL circuits become unlocked. Once the converter
switches to the internal reference it will remain there until the “Reference Fault” state is cleared. The reference
fault state is displayed on the front panel and is reported via the “{S2}” M&C status query. Converters with the
Ethernet M&C option will also report the reference fault via the web browser interface. Converters with the
Ethernet + SNMP option will also report the reference fault via an SNMP object in its MIB.
When the reference fault state is cleared the converter will attempt to lock to the external reference.
The reference fault state can be cleared via the front panel or via remote M&C commands.
These methods are described below.
Front Panel Method
Navigate to the reference mode select menu. Any activity on the front panel up or down switches will
clear the reference fault.
Remote M&C Method
Send the command “{CF}” to clear the reference fault state.
Web Browser Interface Method
Click on the “Clear Fault” button near the bottom of the web page.
SNMP Method
Issue a SET command with a value of 0 to the reference fault object in the MIB.

ETHERNET Interface Installation and Operation
1.0 General Information
The Cross Technologies frequency converter is equipped with a 10/100 Base-T compatible Ethernet interface
for control and monitoring of its operating parameters. An HTML script interface allows the user to monitor
and control the converter using a standard web browser. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is
also supported. Contact Cross Technologies for the SNMP MIB file.
1.1 Methods of Connection
1.1.1 Directly Connected to a PC:
For control from a local PC, attach the frequency converter’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet network connector
on the PC using a crossover RJ-45 cable.
1.1.2 LAN Connection
For LAN connections, attach the frequency converter’s Ethernet port to the LAN using a normal RJ-45 cable.
Use any PC on the LAN to connect to the frequency converter.
1.2 Ethernet Configuration
Each frequency converter must be configured with an appropriate IP address, Netmask, and Gateway assigned
