UHP-1000 SATELLITE ROUTER

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, V. 2.5

(SW VERSION 2.5.X)

2.14.4 Auto tracking signals during normal operations

When earth station antenna is equipped with auto tracking system it might be necessary to use analog reference

signal from the router during normal operations. This feature of satellite router works in the background and

provides analog signal that is proportional to C/N level of the demodulator. The output voltage in this mode is in

the range from 0V to 3.3V only in proportion to C/N demodulator and aspect ratio can be defined by the user.

demodulator voltage 0-10 - Pointing signal output to USB, dB/V (0-off)

The ratio of dB/V is defined by parameter of the command. If, for example, this parameter is set as 5 dB/V then at

10 dB C/N signal will be represented as 2V. If you the ratio is set as 1 dB/V, then the output voltage will change

from 0V to 3.3V once demodulator is locked. This mode is deactivated when ratio parameter set 0.

Current status of pointing mode is shown on the «show system» status report:

2.15 Operations

2.15.1 Modes of operations

UHP-1000 Routers support several modes of operations:

 SCPC –SCPC modem

 REMOTE –TDM/TDMA STAR terminal

 HMESH –TDM/TDMA MESH terminal*

 HUB –TDM/TDMA HUB*

 OUROUTE – additional Outroute for TDM/TDMA HUB*

 INROUTE – additional Inroute for TDM/TDMA HUB*

 FHUB – master station of HUBLESS TDMA network*

 FREM – slave station of HUBLESS TDMA network*

The modes of operations marked by (*) require special software activation key.

Detailed information about HUB, OUTROUTE, INROUTE and HMESH modes of operations is available as a separate

manual – “UHP TDM/TDMA HUB” [RD.IOMHUB.EN2.5]. “UHP HUBLESS TDMA Networks” [RD.IOMFM.EN2.4]

manual contains detailed description of FHUB and FREM modes of operations.

2.15.2 Switching between modes of operations

Selecting the respective mode of operation is performed by the following command:

---------- Router control

This command has to be followed by saving the configuration and router reboot.

TDM/TDMA MESH terminals can be switched to MESH mode by “unit mode hmesh” command. Actual settings of

Tx and Rx Inroute channels could be verified with “show tdma” command and if necessary can be modified with

“tdma tx inroute X” and “tdma rx Inroute X” commands.
