12.2 Options File Only Push
This section explains how to work with the Network Operator to push the remote-side options
file to an Evolution X1, X7 or e150 Satellite Router. If pushing both the software and options
file, follow the procedure in “Software Package and Options Push” on page67.
The procedure assumes that:
• The remote software package has been loaded on the Satellite Router using Web iSite
• The Downstream Template has been loaded on the Satellite Router or the downstream
configuration has been manually configured using W
e
b iSite.
• The antenna has been pointed and peaked
• The Satellite Router is receiving the downstream carrier
Because the antenna is peaked and the Satelli
te
Router is receiving the downstream
broadcast, the Network Operator is able to transmit the options file to the Satellite Router
over-the-air using a remote-side UDP push.
To Push the Options File:
1. Confirm that the Tx output of the Satellite R
outer is not connected to the voltmeter or
the BUC.
2. Confirm that the Satellite
Router was restarted after antenna peaking.
3. Confirm that the Satellite
Router is locked to the downstream carrier.
4. Contact the Network Operator, and request a UDP
push of the options file.
5. The Network Operator should perform the follow
ing steps in iBuilder:
a. Verify the remote side configuration.
b. Right-click
the remote In the iBuilder Tree and select Apply ConfigurationPush
Remote Side with Reset (UDP).
6. The Satellite Router restarts and the ne
w options file becomes active.
7. Obtain the new admi
n password from the Network Operator.
8. Log in to Web iSite with the new password.
9. Check the parameters in “V
erify the Download” on page69 to verify that the download
was successful.
12.3 Verify the Download
Multicast and UDP push are one-way processes. The NMS sends data but does not receive
confirmation. In most cases the Satellite Router receives and loads the new data without
issue. However it is important to verify that the download was received and installed
correctly. The ability to log in with the new admin password is an indication that the options
file was received and loaded correctly.
