Evolution X1 Satellite Router
Powering Up the System
The X1 Outdoor Router operates in temperatures above -40˚ F (-40˚ C), see Section 6.10.3,
Powering Up in Cold Temperatures on page 49 for starting in extremely cold temperatures.
6.10.2 Powering Up the System
After checking the setup as outlined in Section 6.10.1, on page 48, power up the X1 Outdoor
Router as follows:
• Connect the iDirect supplied 2 meter DC power cable from the Power Module to the 4-pin
power connector on the X1 Outdoor Router
• Plug external power supply cord into the power source
There is a weather sealed power LED indicator on the right side of the Ethernet connector.
When power is detected and the X1 Outdoor Router is powered up, the LED light is solid red.
If no power is detected, the LED is off.
6.10.3 Powering Up in Cold Temperatures
An X1 Outdoor Router operates in outdoor ambient temperatures as low as -40
o
F (-40
o
C).
However, if the satellite router is powered off long enough for the internal temperature to
fall below -13˚ F (-25˚ C ) then the modem must warm up before it will become operational.
The warm-up period for the X1 Outdoor Router depends on the internal modem temperature
measured at the time it is powered on. Table 6-5 provides the warm-up periods.
During the long warm-up or short warm-up, the Web interface (Web iSite) will show the
POWER LED as GREEN and the other LEDS will be yellow. The satellite Rx state on the
dashboard shows "Waiting for DEMOD Lock" during the warm-up. The Dashboard of the Web
Interface will display a temperature reading, so, this can be observed during warm-up to
ensure the temperature is increasing.
Once warm-up has completed, the "Web Interface" (Web iSite) simulation of LEDS will change
as the remote goes through the steps to become acquired in the network. See the Related
Documents on page xiii section for guidance to other helpful manuals.
CAUTION: Do not connect or disconnect the Tx or Rx IFL cable while the satellite
router is powered on; this action may result in damage to the BUC, LNB, and/or
X1 Outdoor Router.
