Parameter Description
State
Specifies the receiver state.
During normal operation it shows "Forward link up".
Network ID This determines the DVB network ID of the forward link.
Network Name The DVB network name of the forward link.
Mode This specifies whether the forward link is a DVB-S or DVB-S2 carrier.
FEC rate Detected FEC rate on the forward link.
Modulation Specifies the detected modulation of the forward link.
Roll-off Detected Roll-off factor of the forward link.
Error-rate The number of errors detected by the Viterbi decoder during a fixed time period.
Frequency The measured receive frequency for the forward link.
SNR This determines the current measured signal to noise ratio for the received forward link signal.
Symbol rate The measured symbol rate for the forward link.
Satellite Transmitter Status
The satellite transmitter status option displays the detailed view of the receiver status. The
operator can view the transmitter state, IDU output power, ODU output power, EIRP, Frequency
offset, Timing offset, Capacity and SNR of the satellite transmitter.
Parameter Description
State Specifies the transmitter state. During normal operation it shows "On".
IDU Output
Power
This specifies the current power level transmitted by the IDU.
ODU Output
Power
Determines the current power level transmitted by the ODU.
EIRP This parameter specifies the current EIRP transmitted by the VSAT. Note that the value displayed
will only be correct if the antenna is correctly specified on the satellite configuration page.
Frequency
Corr
Current frequency offset of the return link transmitter.
Timing Corr Current timing offset of the return link transmitter.
Capacity Shows the return link bandwidth currently being allocated to the return link transmitter.
SNR Shows the SNR of the transmitted return link signal as received at the other end of the link.
7.2 Statistics
The statistic option displays the status for IP packets statistics, Multi field classifier statistics,
Forward link statistics, and Return link statistics. Select the Statistics option on the
Satlink Web
interface home page.
IP Packets Statistics
The IP Packets table gives IP packet statistics on the VSATs interfaces. The statistics are
collected on two interfaces: LAN (Ethernet) and DVB (Satellite). For each interface, the table
contains the number of IP packets and the number of bytes that have been received, transmitted,
and discarded at the given interface.
