6.6. NID
The Network Identification parameter entered into the ACU is a hexadecimal value based on the Downlink RF from the
satellite. When using a Public Satellite Reference Site such as Lyngsat.com or Satellite Reference Software such as
WWW.Lyngsat.com, the NID values are presented in decimal format and thus a conversion to hexadecimal format is
required for entry into the ACU. If the satellite transponder you are using for tracking purposes does NOT contain a
network ID or if you are using a satellite modem for positive satellite ID, you must set NID to 0000 with no exceptions.
Example: A decimal NID value of 4097, when converted to HEX, would be entered as a value of 1001
Most versions of Windows, you can use the built-in Scientific Calculator for converting any decimal value to
hexadecimal and vice-versa.
