Programming Type 42 ST using STMON
Configure a Type 42 Subscriber Terminal
If using STMON software the ST must be powered up and running its application
software before attempting to configure a ST. The boot sequence should be complete
within 1 minute of power on. Failure to do this results in the corruption of the ST
operating software.
Pilot Channels are pre-programmed directly to the ST using STMON as part of the ST
installation process. STMON will allow an ST to have only one Pilot channel pre-programmed
and this channel has to be within the ODUs operating range. The Target channel must also
be within the operating range of the ODU.
1. Select the Setup tab and load the installation file. (For details on editing and creating
installation files see the STMON help file.)
2. Select the Radio Data tab and click left mouse button on the Configure ST button.
3. Enter data into fields on the Configure ST window.
4. Enter the ST ID, this number must be unique for all STs sharing the same CT
5. Select the channels to be made available to the ST in the pilot channel list (left hand
list) using the mouse and click the Add or click the Add All button if all channels are
required. A maximum of ten channels may be selected. If an attempt is made to
select more than ten then a warning message is displayed. The selected channels
appear in the right hand list.
Note: The channels in the pilot channel list (left hand list) are created using the
Installation File Editor (see STMON help file). else the default list of all channels is
loaded.
6. Select the scan channels. Double clicking a channel toggles the scan field. An X
shows that the field is selected. The ST will only scan those channels where the scan
has been enabled. At least one channel needs (exactly one channel for AS4000
configuration) to be enabled or the following message is displayed.
