6) The SatLink VSAT should now be ready to be configured as described in the following sub-sections.
9.2 Initial Configuration of Parameters
The VSAT must be configured with a number of parameters before the VSAT can acquire the Forward
Link and communicate with the network Hub. A default configuration specifying most of these
parameters is usually pre-loaded on each VSAT, either in the factory or by the service provider before
installation. The parameters that usually need to be configured by the installer are:
Antenna to be used
Forward Link frequency and symbol rate
VSAT population ID
VSAT geographical position
Most SatLink networks enforce automatic configuration of VSAT parameters, like IP
addresses, DHCP server configuration, DNS server, SW licenses, and PEP parameters
when the VSAT logs on to the network for the first time. For manual configuration of
these parameters, refer to Appendix H.
