13. Traffic Initiated Logon
The SatLink VSAT can be configured to log on automatically to the DVB-RCS Hub when it has traffic to
send and logoff again when it has had no traffic to send for a configurable timeout period. This mode is
useful for VSAT installations where low power consumption is important (e.g., when powered by solar
power and batteries). It is also useful in systems where it is desirable to reduce the signaling bandwidth on
the return channel (by avoiding use of dedicated SYNC slots when the VSAT has no traffic to send).
The power saving mode requires the use of the SatLink 403x transceiver. The power consumption will
then be reduced from typically 27W to approximately 12W when the VSAT is logged off when using the
SatLink 403x transceiver with SatLink 1000

.
The VSAT can be configured to use traffic initiated logon by typing the CLI command dvb tx
autostart traffic <timeout>, where <timeout> is the timeout in minutes the VSAT will wait
before logging off when it has no traffic to send.
Example :
dvb tx autostart traffic 5
Configures the SatLink VSAT to use traffic-initiated logon and automatically log off the network after
not having any traffic to send for 5 minutes.
Verify the configuration of the transmitter mode and the timeout for traffic-initiated logon by typing the
CLI command dvb tx show.

When using the SatLink 4033 transmitter with the SatLink 1000, the power consumption will be
reduced from typically 30W to approximately 12W when the terminal is logged off.
