Parameter Settings
RF Downlink
frequency
In the section General the RF Downlink frequency is shown. Write it
down as it is going to be used for the selection of LNB LO.
Further down on the page you find the BUC and LNB LO frequencies.
LNB LO
Depending on the RF Downlink frequency select an appropriate LNB
LO of 9.75 or 10.75 GHz which will result in an L-band frequency
between 1070 and 1275 MHz which is within the operating frequency
band of the SkyEdge II Access modem.
BUC LO
Select the BUC to be 12.8 GHz as this is the BUC LO of the EXPLORER
VSAT system. Remember to inform the hub operator about this when
doing line up and commissioning.
BUC 10MHz
Reference Signal
The BUC 10MHz Reference Signal must be configured to ON,
otherwise the VSAT system will never allow TX. Scroll further down to
enable GPS for the Location Coordinates. This enables the serial
protocol of the modem so it can communicate with the ACU.
