12.1 Software Package and Options Push
This section explains how to work with the Network Operator to push both the software
package and remote-side options file to an Evolution X1, X7 or e150 Satellite Router. To push
only the options file, follow the procedure in “Options File Only Push” on page69.
The procedure assumes that:
• The Downstream Template has been loaded on the Satellite Router or the downstream
configuration has been manually configured using We
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 multicast the software package to the Satellite
Router over-the-air and then push the options file using UDP.
To Push the Software Package and 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.
