8.4 Cold Start: X1 Outdoor
An Evolution X1 Outdoor Satellite Router is designed to operate in ambient temperatures as
low as -40
o
C. However, if the Satellite Router is without power long enough for the internal
temperature to fall below -25
o
C, a warm-up period is required before becoming operational.
The warm-up period for the X1 Outdoor Satellite Router depends on the internal modem
temper
ature measured at the time power is restored. The warm-up periods are defined in
Ta b l e 4 .
During the warm-up period, a Web iSite connection to the
Evolution X1 O
utdoor Satellite
Router can be established using a Web browser. Although the X1 Outdoor has only one physical
LED indicating power, four LED-like indicators on the X1 Web iSite pages show the current
state of the Satellite Router. During warm up, the LEDs display the following colors:
• Receive:
Yellow
• Network:
Yellow
• Transmit:
Yellow
• Power:
Green
Using Web iSite, observe the Evolution X1 Dashboard (Figure 29 on page 48) during the warm-
up period. On the Dashboard:
•The Temperature field incre
ases as the modem warms up.
•The Satellite Rx field sho
ws Waiting for Demod Lock.
Once warm-up is complete, the Web iSite status indi
cators show the same status as the
Evolution X1 Indoor Satellite Router LEDs. See Ta b l e 9 on page 96 for details.
