Then do the following:
1. If the receiver is not already on, enter the CLI command dvb rx start to acquire the Forward
Link. The VSAT has successfully locked to the Forward Link when the message Forward Link up
is displayed.
2. Enter the CLI command dvb tx logon to start the transmitter and log on to the DVB-RCS
network. If successfully logged on, an output similar to the example below is written to the
Telnet/HyperTerminal window. Use the CLI command dvb tx show to show the transmitter status.
3. Example:
Initial Synchronization:
Forward Link up
All tables acquired
Logging on...successful
Fine Synchronization...achieved
Return Link up
Two-way link established
4. To test the IP connection to the Hub, open an MS-DOS window on the PC connected to the VSAT
LAN (Ethernet).
Type the MS-DOS command ‗ping 10.10.10.4‘ to test the connection to the Hub router

.
If the router gives a positive reply to the ping message then the satellite link is successfully up and
running.
5. To test the connection to the Internet, type the MS-DOS command ‗ping www.stmi.com‘. If a reply
is received, the PC connected to the VSAT has a working connection to the Internet via the satellite
network.

Replace the IP address 10.10.10.4 with the actual IP address of the Hub router if the default IP
configuration of the Hub is not used.
