9.2.3 Forward Link Parameters
The forward link parameters are used to identify the forward link (outbound link) that is transmitted from
the Hub to the DVB-RCS VSATs. To set the symbol rate and receive frequency of the forward link, use
the following CLI commands:
dvb rx fwdlink <idx> <pri> [<symbrate> [<freq> [<mode> [<popid>]]]]
idx Table index [0 – 9]. The SatLink VSAT can store up to 10 forward link entries and the
table index is used to identify a single entry. For configurations with only one forward
link entry it is recommended to set this parameter to 0. Adding a new entry with the same
index will overwrite an existing forward link entry.
pri Forward link search order [0 – 9]. Search is started for priority 0 first and ends with
priority 9. For configurations with only one forward link entry it is recommended to set
this parameter to 0.
symbrate Forward link symbolrate [sps]
freq Forward link frequency [kHz]
mode Valid modes: [dvbs,dvbs2]
popid Population ID to use for forward link acquisition. The STM SatLink VSAT will select
which group in the DVB-RCS system it belongs to based on the configured population
ID. The population ID to be used is assigned by the Hub Operator.
del Delete table entry.
disable Disable table entry.
enable Enable table entry.
Verify the settings by typing the CLI command
dvb rx show and type save config to save the
configuration.
