frequency (for domestic C-band satellites, this is 5150 minus the downlink frequency in
MHz). To rule out (2), try connecting the RF cable to another RF port and select that port (or
use RF Switch Bypass to force that other port). To rule out (3), try using another IRD.
2.
If the first alarm message is “No Carrier Lock”, verify the RF Feed Port, Carrier Frequency,
Data Rate, FEC Ratio, and ID Tag (if Tags are in use) settings. Also verify that the LNB LO
frequency setting (in the IRD) is correct for the selected RF feed port.
3.
If the alarm message is “RF signal overload”, then reduce the carrier power entering the
Unity 4600
. Either add in-line attenuation (a splitter will do) or remove line amplification in
the RF circuit between the LNB and the IRD.

If no alarms or warnings are shown, suspect a bad connection or mis-programming of the
Unity 4600
:
1.
If audio or video are missing, check at the front-panel monitor jacks. If okay on the front
monitors, check the signal connections from the rear of the unit to the destination. If an
audio is missing from the rear panel outputs and cannot be detected at the front-panel
monitors, check that a valid audio stream is selected for that port and that the network
provider has supplied non-quiet programming on that audio.
2.
If the ASI output is missing, check the signal connections from the rear of the unit to the
destination. If okay, check with the network provider to verify what Program Mapping
(Release 2 or later) may be in effect.

Unity 4600
configuration, and any displayed alarm and warning
messages.
