4.7.4 Outdoor Unit
4.7.4.1 Introduction
An "Outdoor Unit" (ODU) is defined as the combined set of antenna and iLNB.
The MDM2210 modem hardware and software support several ODU types, but in order to verify the
quality of a terminal installation, the system should know which ODU is actually used.
An ODU type is known to the terminal in one of the following ways:
• Normally one or more ODU types are predefined in factory. If only one ODU type is
preconfigured, this ODU will be selected automatically during the installation procedure (see
TerminalInstallationonpage16). If multiple types are predefined, then the user can select the
ODU he is actually using via a dropdown list during the installation procedure.
• If no ODU types have been preconfigured, the user must first add one or more ODU types before
starting the installation procedure (see AddOutdoorUnitParametersonpage48).
ODU types are not only configured in the modem, but are also set by the Service
Provider in the hub. Consequently the parameters visible in the modem GUI must
match with the ones defined at the hub side, in order for the modem to be able to
transmit and receive. This is particularly important when adding new ODU types.
The ODU types are not affected by a factory reset of the modem.
