MODEL 4117-14 Block Up/Downconverter, Weather Resistant*
1.0 General
1.1 Equipment Description
The 4117-14 Block Up, Downconverter converts a 0.2 - 0.4 GHz block to 1.2 - 1.4 GHz and a 1.2 - 1.4 block
to 0.2 - 0.4 GHz. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC Power, and PLL Alarms. The maximum gain is
+30 dB for the Up and Downconverter. Connectors are Type N female for the UHF, L-band and L-band
Monitor and SMA female for the external reference input. Gain, and internal 10 MHz frequency are controlled
by the Ethernet M&C. In AUTO, the 10 MHz reference stays in external if the external level is in the +2 to +8
dBm range. The 4117-14 is powered by a 100-240 ± 10% power supply, and is mounted in a 8” W X 6” H X
16” D Weather Resistant* Enclosure.
NOTE: *Weather Resistant enclosures are designed to be water resistant for installation in an outdoor enclosure/antenna hut OR
mounted outdoors on an antenna assembly at their specified temperature ranges. They are designed to be located “out in the
elements” (water, sleet, snow, etc.) but they are not designed to be “submerged under” water. If an extended temperature range is
required, there is an Extended Temperature option (Option W21; -30˚C to +60˚C) available at an additional cost. Contact Cross for
quote.

2.0 Installation
The 4117-14 Block Up/Downconverter consists of a 8”W X 6”H X 16”D Weather Resistant* enclosure.
A switching, ± 12, +24, +5 VDC power supply provides power for the internal assemblies. The 4117-14 can be
secured to a mounting plate using the 4 holes on the bottom of the front and rear panels. See Figure 2.5 for
mounting dimensions.

2.1 ETHERNET Interface Installation and Operation
The 4117-14 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.
2.1.1 Methods of Connection
Directly Connected to a PC:
For control from a local PC, attach the 4117-14’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet network connector on the
PC using a crossover RJ-45 cable.
LAN Connection
For LAN connections, attach the 4117-14 Ethernet port to the LAN using a normal RJ-45 cable.
Use any PC on the LAN to connect to the 4117-14.
2.1.2 Ethernet Configuration
Each 4117-14 must be configured with an appropriate IP address, Netmask, and Gateway assigned by your
network manager. The 4117-14 is set at the factory with a static address that is written on a tag attached to the
unit. The device server in the 4117-14 has a built in HTTP based configuration manager that is used to
configure network settings. To access the configuration manager open a web browser and enter the IP address
of the 4117-14 in the browser's address field. The window shown in Figure 4-A will appear. As delivered,
there is no password set. Choose your user name and password here or leave those fields blank and click OK
to proceed to the configuration manager web page.
NOTE: The default, Factory Set IP Address is: 192.168.123.2
Figure 4-A: Password Screen
4117-14 Manual, Rev. J Page 7 03/27/17

Figure 4-B: Configuration Manager Screen
In the left frame of the configuration manager click on Network to display the Network Settings screen.
Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address with delimiter dots (example: 192.168.192.47).
Click apply settings in the left frame to apply the new settings in the network device.
4117-14 Manual, Rev. J Page 8 03/27/17

2.1.3 Web page M & C
Enter the following address in a web browser to access the M & C Web page:
http://<ip address of 41xx>/serial/0/setup.htm where <ip address> is the IP address
of the unit. Figure 4-C shows the web page from a model 4117-14 frequency converter.
Figure 4-C: Model 4117-14 Web page
2.1.4 SNMP Configuration
Setting of SNMP parameters such as Community Write and Community Read strings requires a Telnet®
connection to port 9999. The following instructions explain how to establish such a Telnet®connection using
Windows XP's Hyper Terminal utility .
Start the Hyper Terminal application and select “New Connection” from the “File” drop down menu. The next
screen is a “Connect To” dialog box. Select TCP/IP (Winsock) from the “Connect” using drop down menu.
Enter the IP address of the 4117-14 in the “Host Address:” field and 9999 in the “Port Number” field.
Figure 4-D shows an example of the Hyper Terminal settings required to access the SNMP configuration menu.
4117-14 Manual, Rev. J Page 9 03/27/17

Figure 4-D: Telnet®Settings in Hyper Terminal
Once the Telnet®connection is established you will be prompted to “Press Enter for Setup Mode.” Press enter
and a menu of device server configuration options will appear (see Figure 4-E). Select menu item 3, “SNMP
configuration.” You will be prompted to enter SNMP community read and write strings. After setting your
desired community strings you will be prompted to “Enter IP addresses for SNMP traps:” You must enter at
least one and up to four IP addresses of SNMP managers that will access the unit. This is required even though
SNMP traps are not implemented. The unit will not process SNMP SET and GET requests from an SNMP
manager unless the IP address associated with that manager is entered in the device server.
4117-14 Manual, Rev. J Page 10 03/27/17

Figure 4-E: Device Server Configuration Menu
NOTE: Planning Ethernet Access
It is recommended that IP knowledgeable customer personnel be consulted as a resource in the
installation and use of the Ethernet access features of the Cross Technologies product.

2.3 Physical Interface
All 411x units provide a RS232/RS422/RS485 interface port and a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port. Both ports are
available when the unit is installed and powered up. Commands may be sent to either port at any time and they
will be processed in the order that they are received. The RS232/RS422/RS485 signals connect via an 18-pin,
MS3112E14-18S connector. The Ethernet signals connect via a standard RJ45 connector, Part #RJF6G.

2.4 Installation/Operation
Installing and Operating the 4117-14 Block Up/Downconverter
1. Connect a -40 dBm to -15 dBm signal to UHF INPUT of the upconverter, (Figure 2.2).
2. Connect the upconverter’s L-BAND OUTPUT, to the external equipment.
3. Connect a -50 dBm to -30 dBm signal to the L-BAND input of the downconverter
4. Connect the downconverter’s UHF output to the external equipment.
5. Using the pre-assembled AC power input cable (furnished), connect 100-240 ±10% VAC, 47 - 63 Hz
to AC IN connector on the front panel.
6. If a custom length power cable must be made, refer to description below for connections.*
7. Be sure DS1 (green, DC Power) is on and DS2 (red, Alarm) is off (Figure 2.2).
8. Set the upconverter’s gain from 0 to 30 dB, insuring that the output level is always
in the range of -15 to 0 dBm.
9. Set the downconverter’s gain from 0 to 30 dB, insuring the output level is in the -20 to 0 dBm range.
10. Select either INT (for internal 10 MHz ref), AUTO (for internal 10 MHz ref UNLESS an external
10 MHz, +2 to +8 dBm signal is connected to J3), or EXT (for external 10 MHz, +2 to +8 dBm ref
that is inserted at J3).
11. Check that a 10 MHz signal is present at the 10 MHz REF OUTPUT at the same level as the input.
12. AC Fuse - The fuse is a 1.25” x .25” - 1.5 amp (slow blow) and is inserted in the fuse F1 position.
NOTE: If a fuse continues to open, the power supply is most likely defective.
CAUTION: When checking or replacing the fuse, do not over tighten the fuse holder cap.
This can displace the cap’s O-ring and the weatherproof seal will be lost.
