CHAPTER 4O PERATIONS
This chapter describes general operation of the Cyber Hardened IBUC 2, IBUC 2e,
IBUC 2G, IBUC R and IBUC G.
Introduction
After the Cyber Hardened IBUC has been mounted and connections verified, the
antenna must be aimed towards the appropriate satellite. Follow the antenna
manufacturer’s instructions, using the coordinates (azimuth, elevation, and polarity)
provided by the satellite operator. Do not transmit until you have received
authorization—including a transmit power level—from the satellite network
operations center (NOC) staff.
Start-up Checklist
The IBUC leaves the factory preconfigured for operation; however, you can fine-tune
its settings for your particular needs.
Prior to start up, verify the following:
• Transmit/Receive frequencies
All transmit and receive frequencies are set using the modem. Follow the modem
manufacturer’s instruction.
• Cable connections
Ensure that all of the external cables between the IBUC and other equipment are
seated correctly and that there are no breaks or cracks, no sharp bends, pinch
points nor flattened sections in the cables.
• Power
Ensure that the IBUC is receiving power, Power can come via the modem, an
external power supply, or from AC mains.
