EASTAR UHP-1000 SERIES SATELLITE ROUTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, V. 2.3 (SW VERSION 2.2.9) INTRODUCTION This document presents a general description of the EASTAR (trade mark) UHP-1000 series satellite routers and is intended for familiarization with the system capabilities and specifications. This manual describes all the key modes of the router operations. Some of such modes of operations are described in the separate manuals – attachments to this document.
EASTAR UHP-1000 SERIES SATELLITE ROUTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, V. 2.3 (SW VERSION 2.2.9) 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 System overview 1.1.1 Purpose EASTAR™ satellite routers are essentially a universal solution for geographically distributed VSAT-class satellite communication networks. EASTAR™ routers can be used to organize simple point-to-point channels, ―star‖- and ―mesh‖-topology networks with several hierarchy levels and bandwidth-on-demand capabilities.

AC Power supply adaptor is supplied with the set. The router can be powered from a DC power source (batteries, DC-DC converter), but the specific power supply mode should be agreed upon with the Manufacturer. Power supply connector features dimensions 5.5 / 2.1 mm (outer and inner diameters).
EASTAR UHP-1000 SERIES SATELLITE ROUTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, V. 2.3 (SW VERSION 2.2.9) Whether power source in on or off, the input can withstand external voltage up to 50 V (power supply circuit is provided with a diode). Short circuiting is not welcome since it creates high load on the device. Power supply circuit is protected with a thermal fuse operating in case of short circuiting.

If power supply is switched on in the configuration, restarts continue at 5 seconds interval until short circuiting is removed. Any operations with IF TX cable should be performed with 24 V supply voltage turned off. Otherwise, self-induction across a long cable can damage the transmitter and/or router. 1.2.

IF cable connectors should be screwed to the router without use of any mechanical instruments. Please, avoid excessive force when connecting IF cables. WARNING! Do not connect or disconnect any connecting cables to the router with the power on.
EASTAR UHP-1000 SERIES SATELLITE ROUTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, V. 2.3 (SW VERSION 2.2.9) The easiest way to configure the router is using its HTTP access via its LAN port. 2.2.5 Local access to router via HTTP interface HTTP (WWW) interface allows configuration key parameters and monitoring its actual status of the router. Local Web page of the router can be accessed from any Internet browser. By default, UHP-1000 router is configured with IP-address 192.168.222.222 with mask 255.255.255.

EASTAR UHP-1000 SERIES SATELLITE ROUTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, V. 2.3 (SW VERSION 2.2.9) 2.5.3 SCPC demodulator control commands Most commands of the demodulator come into force as the carrier search operation is initiated. If the search is already under way the values come into force immediately. The essence of this behavior is that if demodulator receives the carrier the user gets maximum possibilities to configure the demodulator without interrupting the reception.
EASTAR UHP-1000 SERIES SATELLITE ROUTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, V. 2.3 (SW VERSION 2.2.9) demod compensate - Compensate LNB frequency offset This command operates only when demodulator is receiving the carrier. Current carrier frequency offset determined by the demodulator is saved in the Offset special parameter and later is added to all frequencies during all search operations.

EASTAR UHP-1000 SERIES SATELLITE ROUTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, V. 2.3 (SW VERSION 2.2.9) Start moving antenna slowly in limited angle of elevation and azimuth. The value of the demodulator input level increases when antenna receives signal from any satellite. Signal peak means proper pointing to the satellite. After finding the peak of this signal by adjusting the azimuth and elevation, it is necessary to provide demodulator some time to search for and capture the carrier from the Hub.
