Installing the IDR V1000

MS-4900, Rev. A 2-3

Step 2:

Verify

Initial Lock

On Carrier

As soon as power is supplied to the IDR V1000, an automatic self-test runs. The IDR

V1000 then locates and “locks” onto the preset frequency. When this completes

successfully, the following identification screen appears (Figure 2-3).

Figure 2-3. WavePhore Identification Screen

If you do not see the identification screen within two minutes of powering on, or if you

see a character other than the “L”after a minute or two of the screen being displayed,

refer to Section 4 to troubleshoot the cause.

Step 3:

Check

and

AGC

Readings

After the receiver has achieved initial lock on the carrier, you should try to “peak,”

or maximize both the E

and AGC numbers. You can see both readings in the

Show Status screen (Figure 2-4).

NOTE: Refer to Section 3 for instructions on using the front panel buttons to

display screens.

Figure 2-4. Show Status Screen: AGC and E

Readings

1. The AGC level indicates that cabling is complete and the LNB is powered.

Ideally, the reading should be near 200. If the number is under 100, check the

coaxial cable connections and the LNB on the satellite dish.

2. The E

reading indicates signal quality; it is possible to fine tune that

reading by slightly adjusting the positioning of the satellite dish. The E

should be at least 5.0, usually higher. (The site will have specific

requirements.)
