3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 2.3.1.1 Functional Description DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS L-Band (VSAT) Receiver The VSAT L-Band receiver connector panel is shown in Figure 2-4. The receiver module is located on the SPU sub-assembly. The module receives the DVB-S/S2 signal data stream (which carries the SIRIUS proprietary CDDS) from the L-band LNB module located on the Ku-band VSAT antenna. The receiver processes the down-converted L-band signal by DVB-S/S2 transport stream removal and data recovery.

The up-converter converts the modulator IF (I and Q channels) output to S-Band. An up converter controller applies DAC-controlled DC offset to each IF channel, attenuates and filters the channels, and then sends them to the up-converter for S-Band frequency con-version. The 2.
3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 Functional Description DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS Control commands for status requests and operating parameter modifications from the operator interfaces are received and processed by the main controller. The controller reports problem conditions through dedicated interfaces and also indicates current status and alarms via front panel LEDs. Repeater identity can be configured remotely or locally via the controller.
Functional Description DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS 3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 Back-up Test – continuous self-monitoring of controller and all subsystems. Anomalies are reported to NMC. Major faults cause the controller to shut down the repeater Heartbeat – a special trap/message is transmitted regularly (transmission inter-val set by user via GUI, See Figure 5-34 in Section 5) to the NMC.

The controller also communicates with the SPU modules and on-board components via dedicated interfaces using soft-ware defined protocols.
3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 Functional Description DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS • RF Power: Monitoring is two channel and RS485 full duplex. The path is from the reflected power and forward power detectors through DB9-M panel connector P6B into the processors UART1 and UART2. The Atmega256 processor initializes the GPS Receiver, makes all necessary settings and then monitors important stats (refer to GPS Receiver below). 2.3.1.4.
Functional Description DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS 3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 A manual ON/OFF control switch is located on the front panel of the UPS and allows the unit to be manually switched on or off. This is used primarily by maintenance technicians when servicing the repeater. An internal automatic ON/OFF switch switches the unit off when the +5 or 3.3 input voltages drop. This prevents back current feed to the power supply. The UPS has a 3-wire interface for connection of an optocoupled AC sensor.

Functional Description DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS 2.4.3 3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 HPA PREAMPLIFIER (PREDRIVER) The pre-driver is the first amplifying stage of the HPA. It employs three stages of amplification-a Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) amplifier and two LDMOS transistors. The pre-driver raises the output power of the RF from the upconverter by 38 dB and feeds the amplified RF into the HPA driver amplifier.
3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 2.5 Functional Description DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS S-BAND OUTPUT FILTER The output filter is a bandpass filter and provides attenuation of the out-of-band emissions generated by the HPA.

Warning A Heartbeat pace of less than 10 minutes could prevent remote dial-in and possibly require local access in order to perform any reconfiguration.
OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS 3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 Figure 5 - 35 System Parameters System Reset Screen The Upgrade screen allows the operator to upgrade system components by using the Browse button to select the proper upgrade file (e.g.; Main Controller, Supervisor Controller, VSAT Controller, Modulator [PPCO, PPCI, DSP, FPGA], Up-Converter, HPA). After file selection, click on “Start Download”. See Figure 5 - 36.
3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS As upgrade starts, a pop-up dialog box displays with the current upgrade status information. See Figure 5 - 37. Screen may be slow to display status.
OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS 3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 The web server is a single threaded server, and as such, allows only one connection at a time. This means an upgrade via phone line can take 10 minutes or more for file transfer. This is dependent upon speed and file size. During transfer, the pop-up dialog box remains blank and only starts showing information after the file is completely transferred. 5.

Figure 5 - 40 CLI Main Menu Screen 5.7 REPEATER OPERATING PROCEDURES 5.7.1 Local/Remote Operation The repeater can be controlled and monitored either locally on site or remotely from a network management center (NMC). The SPU front panel LOCAL REMOTE switch controls the operating mode of the repeater.
OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS 5.7.1.1 3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 Local Operation For repeater local control (during initial setup and/or maintenance sessions, etc.) and status information, a PC can be connected to the LAN and established via the Ethernet (RJ45) port which provides access to the Web and GUI interface. This is the preferred method. An alternate access method is via the RS-232 (DB9) serial port using the Command Line Interface (CLI) protocol.
3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 5.7.1.3 OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS Steps to Access the Repeater in Local Operating Condition via Ethernet 1. Connect the PC to the Ethernet (RJ45) port on the back panel of the controller. See Figure 5 - 42. Figure 5 - 42 Main Controller Back Panel Ethernet Connection 2. Access the repeater using the Internet Explorer browser and the repeater IP address. When the repeater finishes booting, the Login screen displays. See Figure 5 - 43. Figure 5 - 43 Login Screen 3.
OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS 5.7.1.4 3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 Steps to Access the Repeater in Local Operating Condition via RS-232 1. Connect PC to RS-232 Console Port (SPU front panel) using a straight cable. 2. Access the repeater via the HyperTerminal and using CLI commands. The Modulator can also be directly accessed using an RS-232 Null Modem cable connected to the Modulator RS-232 LOCAL PORT connector on the modulator back panel, and using CLI commands. 5.7.1.
3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS Figure 5 - 44 Repeater Operating Mode Screen 5.7.2.1.1 Standby Mode The Standby Mode is used to take the repeater off the air without removing all power. The up-converter output is muted, ALC is off, and the HPA is switched off by disabling the HPA power supply.
OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS 5.7.2.1.3 3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 Manual Mode The Manual Mode is for testing and troubleshooting. Refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for use of the Manual Mode. When switched to the Manual mode, the repeater maintains all the system settings that were in effect in the previous mode. Table 5-1 summarizes the repeater status under the three modes of operation.
3EM21522AAAA Issue 1, March 2008 5.7.2.2 OPERATION DTR-0200-SA-SIRIUS Modulator Modes There are seven modulator operating modes but only two are used in the field; the remainder are factory modes. The two modes used by the operator/technician are: 1). Standby mode 2). Run Mode selection is via the GUI Main Menu. From the Main Menu select Config =>Modulator => Modulator Mode => Standby or Run. See Figure 5 - 45. Figure 5 - 45 Modulator Mode Screen 5.
