DMD1050TS Satellite Modem Board
Revision 1
Installation 2–5 MN-DMD1050TS
2.6 Modulator Checkout
The Modulator checkout descriptions assume that the DMD1050TS is installed in a suitable
location with clean, stable DC power. Make sure that DC spikes do not occur during initial power
up.
2.6.1 Initial Power-Up
CAUTION – EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Make sure that the modem’s input DC power is clean, stable and free of spikes.
If the input DC power is poor quality, it can cause damage to the unit.
CAUTION - TRAFFIC DISRUPTION
Before you connect power to the unit, disconnect the transmit output from the
operating ground station equipment.
Communication traffic can be disrupted by connecting power to a unit when the
configuration settings are not known and possibly incorrect.
New units are shipped with the transmit carrier set to OFF.
You can do the initial field checkout of the modem using the Web Browser or the Terminal Mode.
Both have the advantage of giving full screen access to all of the modem’s parameters. However,
a separate terminal or computer running a Terminal Program is necessary. The modem is
configured with the Web Browser enabled.
2.6.2 M&C Web Browser Setup
The Ethernet M&C (J11) Interface requires a standard RJ45 Male connector. The Ethernet
Interface is shipped from the factory in an addressable, default condition that gives you access to
the unit. This condition is identified as IP TEST MODE.
See Appendices C & D for set up of the Ethernet M&C Interface.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the unit and a computer that has web browser capability.
Open the browser and enter the default web address for the unit.
See Chapter 7 for a description of the Graphic User Interface (GUI) operation and parameters.
See Appendix C and Appendix D for setup of the TCP-IP interface and Web browser.
