B.3.4 To set up blocking zones for dual antenna setup
It is recommended to define the following 3 types of blocking zones in each SAILOR VSAT
system:
1. Actual blocking zones on the vessel (No TX)
2. Switching blocking zones (TX allowed), zones leading up to actual blocking zones,
allowing the system to switch antenna before any actual blocking is encountered.
3. Personnel safety zones (No TX), a type of blocking zone securing safe passage without
the risk of entering VSAT RF radiation.
For instructions how to set up blocking zones see To set up blocking zones (RX and TX) on
page 6-31.
B.3.5 To make an OTC for ADS systems
The entire system is now ready for operation.
1. Turn on the Modem power.
The first time the Modem is turned on it will perform an OTC both on the Master and the
Slave antennas. During this process the Modem will restart several times before pointing
towards the satellite and establish the link.
