What to do if I have a low SQF indication on my Hughes Jupiter?
A low SQF indication on your Hughes Antenna suggests that incorrect installation parameters were entered. This might mean the modem is installed in the wrong downlink cell. To fix this, go to Modify Installation Parameters under Advanced Configuration and Statistics and use the Installation Reference Sheet to make the necessary corrections.
Why does the SQF on my Hughes Jupiter not go higher than 1?
If the SQF on your Hughes Antenna doesn't go higher than 1, there could be several reasons: * The circular polarization setting is incorrect. * The installation parameters are incorrect. * There's no Rx cable connected between the DAPT2 and LNB, or the cable is faulty. To resolve this: * Set the polarization to LHCP or RHCP as indicated on the Terminal Pointing Info screen (Setting for ODU Polarization). * Go to Modify Installation Parameters under Advanced Configuration and Statistics and use the Installation Reference Sheet to make the appropriate corrections. * Connect or replace the Rx cable between the DAPT2 and LNB.
How to fix a permanent COMM Startup message on my Hughes Antenna?
A permanent COMM Startup message on your Hughes Antenna indicates that the satellite modem is not in pointing mode or the Advance button was pressed before submitting the installation parameters. At the LUI, verify that the satellite modem is in pointing mode. If it is not, repeat steps 4–10 of Entering installation parameters. If the DAPT2 doesn't display the SQF reading (SQFsqf) after a few seconds, press Advance.
What to do if my Hughes Antenna shows a 'Beacon Lost' message?
The 'Beacon Lost' message on your Hughes Antenna means the satellite modem has detected a loss of beacon lock. This may occur if there is any object blocking the feedhorn. Ensure that the loss duration is under 10 seconds to prevent the satellite modem from going back to the Pointing state.
What does a permanent 'Switch IFL Cable' message mean on my Hughes Antenna, and how do I fix it?
A permanent 'Switch IFL Cable' message on your Hughes Antenna means the Satellite modem Cable is connected to the LNB side of the DAPT2. Reconnect the cables to the DAPT2 in accordance with the connector labels on the DAPT2 rear panel.
How do I resolve a permanent 'Logging VoltMeas' message on my Hughes Antenna?
A permanent 'Logging VoltMeas' message on your Hughes Antenna indicates that the cables on the DAPT2 are not connected properly. Reconnect the cables to the DAPT2 in accordance with the connector labels on the DAPT2 rear panel.
What does 'Tx Pol Left (or Right)' mean on my Hughes Jupiter and how do I resolve it?
During cell selection, 'Tx Pol Left (or Right)' on your Hughes Antenna means that the closest working cell is in an adjacent UL cell that requires flipping the polarizer on the ODU. Adjust the polarizer to the proper setting, then press Advance to proceed to the next phase.
What does 'Find Sys Failed' mean on my Hughes Jupiter Antenna and how can I fix it?
'Find Sys Failed' on your Hughes Antenna is an error message indicating that cell selection has failed. As the satellite modem cannot move forward with this error, reboot the satellite modem.
What should I do if my Hughes Jupiter Antenna displays 'Find Sys Status X'?
If the Hughes Antenna satellite modem enters the 'Find Sys Status X' phase before pointing was completed, use the Back button to return to Point mode.
What to do if SQF does not go higher than 31 on Hughes Antenna?
If the SQF reading on your Hughes Antenna doesn't exceed 31, there are a few potential causes: * The circular polarization setting might be incorrect. Ensure you set the polarization to LHCP or RHCP, as indicated on the Terminal Pointing Info screen. * The installation parameters could be incorrect. Navigate to Modify Installation Parameters under Advanced Configuration and Statistics and use the Installation Reference Sheet to correct them. * There might be no RX cable connected between the DAPT2 and LNB, or the cable is faulty. Connect or replace the RX cable between the DAPT2 and LNB.
