Entering User-defined Satellite Data

To configure your user-defined satellites, follow the steps below.

1. Using your PC’s terminal emulation program, type

HALT<cr>

(<cr> indicates a carriage return/ENTER

key). This command puts the antenna in Idle mode.

2. Enter the SATCONFIG parser command:

Command:

SATCONFIG,USERX,YYY,Z,D,L<cr>

Where:

X = 1 or 2 (satellite alternative)

YYY = longitude (0-180)

Z = E (East) or W (West)

D = decoding type (0 = test, 1 = DSS-A,

2 = DSS-B, 3 = DVB)

L = LNB polarization (C = circular, L = linear)

Function:

configures one of the user-configurable satellites

with the longitude provided

Response:

if valid entry, echoes the input data
if invalid entry, returns error message

3. Type

@DEBUGON<cr>

to enter DEBUG mode.

4.

Enter the satellite’s transponder information:

Command:

@SATCONFIG,X,N,F,S,C,ID,P,B,D<cr>

Where:

@SATCONFIG = directs data to the RF Board

X = satellite location A or B

N = satellite table # (98 & 99 are slots for user-

defined satellites)

F = frequency in MHz (either 00000 or a range from

10700 - 12700)

S = the satellite transponder symbol rate in

Mbit/second (01000 - 29999)

C = the FEC code (e.g., 12, 23, 34, 56, 67, 78)

ID = the satellite network ID in hexidecimal format

(0x####)

P = the LNB polarization (V = vertical,

H = horizontal, R = right, L = left)

B = the LNB down conversion frequency (L = low,

H = high, U = USA)

D = decoding type (0 = test, 1 = DSS-A,

2 = DSS-B, 3 = DVB)
