2.2.3 Connecting to external devices
All wire connections must be performed before powering up the router. 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. This can lead to a failure of the router and
connected devices.
Figure 11 Example of router’s connection in SCPC or TDM/TDMA terminal modes
Typically, the router UHP-1000 is connected to individual RF frequency equipment (ODU). In
such configuration IF output of the modulator is connected to the power amplifier BUC, and the
input of high-speed demodulator to LNB (Figure 11). The router will supply the BUC with 24V
power and 10MHz reference signal. Also, the router may provide LNB with 18V DC power. The
user’s equipment should be connected to the router via Ethernet switch or hub, if you plan to
connect only one device, it can be connected directly with Ethernet cross-over cable.
Figure 12 Example of router's connection in TDM/TDMA Half Mesh mode
In the Half Mesh mode the inputs of high-speed and burst demodulators should be
connected to LNB via IF splitter (Figure 12). Such splitter has to ensure by-pass of DC for
powering of the LNB and 10 MHz reference signal (required for PLL LNB normally used with
Half Mesh terminals).
2.2.4 Powering on
In a few seconds after powering the router it is ready for use. Readiness of the router will
be confirmed by "STATUS" LED indicator (blinking with a period of 1 second), as well as by
single flashes of "ERROR" indicator, meaning a lack of reception of the receiving carrier.
With factory setting the router is configured as TDM/TDMA terminal. The router requires
change of mode of operation (if necessary) and/or configuration of respective network
parameters before login into satellite networks.
